hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in conclusively relying upon any such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which the Trustee actually knows to be so owned will be so disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the
pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. Notes that are to be acquired by the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, Offer to Purchase, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes or a security entitlement in respect thereof passes to such
entity. Notes repurchased by the Company 

  
 31 

 
pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or shall be retired and cancelled at the option of the Company. Notes purchased by a third party
pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall have the status of Notes issued and outstanding. 
 Section 2.06. Temporary Notes.
Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and
other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to
Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.  

Section 2.07. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. Any Registrar
or the Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its
normal procedures or the written instructions of the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.08. CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “CINS”
numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders, the notice to 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 redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers. 

Section 2.09. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and
the Company shall cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the 

  
 32 

 
record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Notes. 

(b) (1) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as
the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend. 
 (2) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for
the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (1) as set forth in
Section 2.09(b)(4) and (2) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf
of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 2.10. 

(3) Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the
Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or
its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this
Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security. 

(4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note
and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange
each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by
the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled. If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted
Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder of any such Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a

  
 33 

 
Temporary Offshore Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such
Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder. 

(c) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee. 

(d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein)
for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document
required by Section 2.10. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that 

(x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such register and 

(y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial
redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest
Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents will treat the
Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. 

From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration
of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section. 
 No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange
of any Note, 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 a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange
pursuant to subsection (b)(4)). 

  
 34 

 (e) (1) Global Note to Global Note. If, a beneficial interest in a
Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such
transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global
Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and
exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(2) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a
Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations
having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable. 

(3) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a
Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or
exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred
or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
 (4)
Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new
Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case
of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or

  
 35 

 
more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the
name of the Holder thereof. 
 Section 2.10. Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange. (a) The transfer or exchange of
any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The
Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence. 
 (b) Subject
to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in
compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

 (1) No certification is required. 

(2) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed
Regulation S Certificate; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. 

(3) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly

transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is 

  
 36 

 
required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or
(ii) a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend. 

(4) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule
144A Certificate. 
 (5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is permitted if the
requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note. If the requested transfer involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, the Person requesting the transfer must deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate or (y) a duly completed Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably
require in order to determine that the proposed transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. If the requested transfer or exchange involves a beneficial interest
in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, no certification is required and the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend. 

(c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) 

(1) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for
current public information; provided that the Company has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Company may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause
(1) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate; or 

(2) (x) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise or
(y) which is validly tendered for exchange into an Exchange Note pursuant to an Exchange Offer.

delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with
the express requirements hereof. 
 (f) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken
or not taken by the Depositary. 
 Section 2.11. Temporary Offshore Global Notes. (a) Each Note originally sold by the
Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Notes that bear the Temporary Offshore Global Note Legend. 

(b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note (or a Person acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the
Trustee (and the Trustee will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period). Promptly
after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and will
(x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial
interest. 
 (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted Period any Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a
Temporary Offshore Global Note, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial Purchaser, exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a
Permanent Offshore Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the
principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest.

 40

(3) the purchase price, including the portion thereof representing accrued interest; 

(4) an expiration date (the “expiration date”) not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of
the offer, and a settlement date for purchase (the “purchase date”) not more than five Business Days after the expiration date;

in a multiple of $1,000 principal amount; 
 (6) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender pursuant to
the Offer to Purchase; 

  
 41 

 (7) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be required

principal amount will be purchased; 
 (12) if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued; and 
 (13) if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is
being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. 

(c) Prior to or on the purchase date, the Company will accept tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to
the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase. Interest on
Notes purchased will cease to accrue upon delivery of such Notes by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee 

  
 42 

 
will promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes accepted for purchase in part.

 (d) 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 any Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Offer to Purchase provisions of this Indenture, the

 Section 4.05. Maintenance of Properties and Insurance. (a) The Company will
cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided that nothing in this Section prevents the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any
of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

(b) The Company will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance)
against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties, such as products liability insurance and public liability insurance, with reputable insurers, in such amounts, with such
deductibles and by such methods as are customary for corporations similarly situated in the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are then conducting business. 

Section 4.06. Limitation on Debt and Disqualified Stock. (a) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will Incur any Debt. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and, to the extent provided below, any Guarantor may Incur the following (“Permitted
Debt”): 
 (1) Debt of the Company or any Guarantor constituting Secured Obligations; provided that, on the
date of the Incurrence, after giving effect to the Incurrence and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Collateral Coverage Ratio is not less than 2.0 to 1.0; 

(2) Debt of the Company or any Guarantor owed to the Company or any Guarantor so long as such Debt continues to be owed to the
Company or any Guarantor; 
 (3) Unsecured Debt of the Company or any Guarantor; provided that (a) if such Debt
is Subordinated Debt, such Subordinated Debt has a Stated Maturity after the Stated Maturity of the Notes and (b) on the date of the Incurrence, after giving effect to the Incurrence and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom,

Additional Notes, but including the Exchange Notes) and Debt of any Guarantor pursuant to a Note Guaranty of the Notes (including Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes); 

  
 45 

 (5) Debt (“Permitted Refinancing Debt”) constituting an
extension or renewal of, replacement of, or substitution for, or issued in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to repay, redeem, repurchase, refinance or refund, including by way of defeasance (all of the foregoing, for purposes of
this clause, “refinance”) then outstanding Debt in an amount not to exceed the principal amount of the Debt so refinanced, plus premiums, fees and expenses; provided that  

(A) in case the Debt to be refinanced is Subordinated Debt, the new Debt, by its terms or by the terms of any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which it is outstanding, is expressly made subordinate in right of payment to the Notes at least to the extent that the Debt to be refinanced is subordinated to the Notes, 

(B) the new Debt does not have a Stated Maturity prior to the Stated Maturity of the Debt to be refinanced, and the Average
Life of the new Debt is at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Debt to be refinanced, and 
 (C) Debt Incurred
pursuant to clauses (2), (3), (6), (7), (9), (10), (11), (12) and (13) of this Section 4.06 may not be refinanced pursuant to this clause; 

(6) Hedging Agreements of the Company or any Guarantor entered into in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of
managing risks associated with the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries and not for speculation; 
 (7) Debt of the
Company or any Guarantor with respect to (A) letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances issued in the ordinary course of business and not supporting other Debt, including letters of credit supporting performance, surety or appeal bonds,
workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other benefits to employees or former employees or their families or property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance, and letters of credit in connection with the maintenance of,
or pursuant to the requirements of, environmental or other permits or licenses from governmental authorities, or other Debt with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims and (B) indemnification,

(8) Debt of the Company outstanding on the Issue Date (and, for purposes of clause (5)(C) of this Section 4.06(b),
not otherwise constituting Permitted Debt); 

  
 46 

 (9) Debt of the Company or any Guarantor consisting of Guarantees of Debt of the
Company or any Guarantor Incurred under any other clause of this Section 4.06; 
 (10) Debt of the Company or any
Guarantor Incurred on or after the Issue Date not otherwise permitted in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $75,000,000; 

(11) Debt arising from endorsing instruments of deposit and from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a

(12) Debt of the Company or any Guarantor consisting of the financing of insurance premiums; 

(13) Contribution Debt; and 

(14) Debt, which may include Capital Leases, Incurred on or after the Issue Date no later than 180 days after the date of
purchase or completion of construction or improvement of property, for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement; provided that the principal amount of any Debt Incurred pursuant to
this clause at any time outstanding may not exceed (a) $25,000,000 less (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred to refinance Debt Incurred pursuant to this clause; and 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.06, for purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.06, increases in Debt solely due to fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will not be deemed to exceed the maximum amount that the Company or a Guarantor may Incur under this Section 4.06. For purposes of determining
compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
the date such Debt was Incurred; provided that if such Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if
calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed
the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced (including, for the avoidance of doubt, premium, fees and expenses). The principal amount 

  
 47 

 
of any Debt Incurred to refinance other Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the
currencies in which such respective Debt is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 (d) In the
event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in this Section 4.06, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify items of Debt and will only be required to include the amount and type of
such Debt in one of such clauses and the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Debt in more than one of the types of Debt described in this Section 4.06, and may, at any time after such Incurrence (based on circumstances
existing at such time), change the classification of an item of Debt (or any portion thereof) to any other type of Debt described in this Section 4.06 at any time. If any Contribution Debt is redesignated as Incurred under any provision other
than clause (13) of paragraph (b) above, the related issuance of Equity Interests may be included in any calculation under paragraph (a)(3)(B) of Section 4.07. 

(e) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor may Incur any Debt that is subordinated in right of payment to other Debt of the
Company or the Guarantor unless such Debt is also subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the relevant Note Guaranty on substantially identical terms. This does not apply to distinctions between categories of Debt that exist by reason of
any Liens or Guarantees securing or in favor of some but not all of such Debt. 
 Section 4.07. Limitation on Restricted
Payments. (a) The Company will not, and, to the extent within the Company’s control, will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (including any Guarantor) to, directly or indirectly (the payments and other actions described in the
following clauses being collectively “Restricted Payments”): 
 (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any
distribution on its Equity Interests (other than dividends or distributions paid in the Company’s Qualified Equity Interests) held by Persons other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; 

(ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect
parent of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

 48 

 
Subordinated Debt of the Company or any Guarantor except a payment of interest or principal at Stated Maturity; or 

(iv) make any Investment in any direct or indirect parent of the Company; 

unless, at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment: 

(1) no Default has occurred and is continuing, 

(2) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of Debt under paragraph (b)(3) of Section 4.06, and 

(3) the aggregate amount expended for all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date would not, subject to paragraph
(c), exceed the sum of 
 (A) 50% of the aggregate amount of the Consolidated Net Income (or, if the Consolidated Net Income
is a loss, minus 100% of the amount of the loss) accrued on a cumulative basis during the period, taken as one accounting period, beginning with the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date and ending on the last day of the
Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available, plus 
 (B)
subject to paragraph (c), the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value of marketable securities or other property received by the Company (other than from a Subsidiary) after the Issue Date

Interests or Debt to the extent since converted into Qualified Equity Interests of the Company, or 
 (ii) as a contribution
to its common equity (other than Equity Interests sold to a Subsidiary), plus 
 (C) $75,000,000. 

The amount expended in any Restricted Payment, if other than in cash, will be deemed to be the fair market value of the relevant non-cash
assets, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, whose determination will be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution. 

(b) The foregoing will not prohibit: 

  
 49 

 (1) the payment of any dividend, or distribution or consummation of a redemption
within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof or the giving of the redemption notice, as applicable, if, at the date of declaration or notice such payment would comply with paragraph (a);

proceeds of, or in exchange for, Subordinated Debt or with the proceeds of the offering of Notes or other unsecured Debt or with any other available cash, except to the extent such cash is the proceeds of borrowing incurred after the Issue Date of
Debt constituting Secured Obligations; provided further that in the case of this clause (b), such Subordinated Debt or other unsecured Debt does not have a Stated Maturity prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes; 

(4) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests of the Company (including the
Existing Preferred Stock) or any direct or indirect parent in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, (i) an offering (occurring within 60 days of such purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value) of, Qualified Equity
Interests of the Company or (ii) a contribution to the common equity capital of the Company;

pursuant to this clause (6) in any fiscal year shall not exceed $75,000,000; 
 (7) the repurchase of any Subordinated
Debt at a purchase price not greater than (x) 101% of the principal amount thereof in the event of a change of control pursuant to a provision no more favorable to the holders thereof than Section 4.11 or (y) 100% of the principal
amount thereof in the event of an Asset Sale pursuant to a provision no more favorable to the holders thereof than Section 4.12, provided that, in each case, prior to the repurchase the Company has made an Offer to Purchase and
repurchased all Notes issued under this Indenture that were validly tendered for payment in connection with the Offer to Purchase; 

(8) Restricted Payments not otherwise permitted hereby in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75,000,000; 

(9) (a) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or warrants if the Equity Interests

shall not exceed the proceeds therefrom received by the Company after the Issue Date); and 
 (14) the purchase, redemption
or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests of the Company; provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid therefor in any fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, does not exceed

 provided that, in the case of clauses (6), (7), (10) and (13) no Default has occurred and is continuing or
would occur as a result thereof. 
 (c) Proceeds of the issuance of Qualified Equity Interests will be included under clause (3) of
paragraph (a) only to the extent they are not applied as described in clause (4) or (5) of paragraph (b). Restricted Payments permitted pursuant to clauses (2) through (9), (11), (12) and (14) will not be included in
making the calculations under clause (3) of paragraph (a). 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07,
in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (14) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 4.07, the Company will be entitled to divide, classify or re-classify (based on circumstances existing at the time of such re-classification) such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that
complies with this Section 4.07 and such Restricted Payment will be treated as having been 

  
 52 

 
made pursuant to only such clause or clauses or the paragraph (a) of this Section 4.07. 

(e) Paragraph (a) of this Section 4.07 will not prohibit the payment of dividends pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Certificate
of Designation of Series A and the Certificate of Designation of Series A-2 governing the Existing Preferred Stock as of the Issue Date. 

(f) The Company and the Guarantors will not directly or indirectly make any Investment in LightSquared; provided that the Company and

other obligations that are pari passu with or subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or Note Guaranties, if any (other than Permitted Liens), without effectively providing that the notes are secured equally and ratably with (or, if the
obligation to be secured by the Lien is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guaranty, prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured. 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, (A) a Lien securing an item of Debt need not be permitted solely by
reference to one category of permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Debt, Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens”, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or
later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Debt (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08 and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Debt
secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and such Lien securing such item of Debt will be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses. 

With respect to any Lien securing Debt that was permitted to secure such Debt at the time of the Incurrence of such Debt, such Lien shall also
be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Debt provided that such Increased Amount is otherwise permitted to be Incurred. The “Increased Amount” of any Debt shall mean any increase in the amount of such Debt in connection
with any 

  
 53 

 
accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt with the same terms, the payment of
dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Debt outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in

Incur Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.06, and 

(2) create a Lien on such property or asset securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes
pursuant to Section 4.08,

Section 4.10. Limitation on Dividend and other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. (a) Except as provided in
paragraph (b), the Company will not, and, to the extent within the Company’s control, will not permit any Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability
of any Subsidiary to:

the Company or any other Subsidiary; 
 (2) pay any Debt or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Subsidiary;

 (3) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Subsidiary; or 

(4) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary. 

(b) The provisions of paragraph (a) do not apply to any encumbrances or restrictions 

  
 54 

 (1) existing on the Issue Date, in this Indenture or in any other agreements in
effect on the Issue Date, and any extensions, renewals, replacements or refinancings of any of the foregoing; provided the encumbrances and restrictions in the extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing are, taken as a whole, no less
favorable in any material respect to the Noteholders than the encumbrances or restrictions being extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced; 

(2) existing under or by reason of applicable law, rule regulation or order; 

(3) existing with respect to any Person, or to the property or assets of any Person, at the time the Person is acquired by the
Company or any Subsidiary, which encumbrances or restrictions (i) are not applicable to any other Person or the property or assets of any other Person (other than Subsidiaries of such Person) and (ii) do not materially adversely affect the
Company’s ability to make interest and principal payments on the Notes and any extensions, renewals, replacements, or refinancings of any of the foregoing, provided the encumbrances and restrictions in the extension, renewal, replacement
or refinancing are, taken as a whole, no less favorable in any material respect to the Noteholders than the encumbrances or restrictions being extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced; 

(4) of the type described in clause (a)(4) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business (i) that restrict in a
customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease or license or (ii) by virtue of any Lien on, or agreement to transfer, option or similar right (including any asset sale or stock sale
agreement) with respect to any property or assets of, the Company or any Subsidiary; 
 (5) with respect to a Subsidiary and
imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of, or property and assets of, the Subsidiary that is not prohibited by Section 4.12; 

(6) contained in the terms governing any Debt of any Subsidiary if the encumbrances or restrictions are ordinary and customary

(8) existing pursuant to customary provisions in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance

encumbrance solely of the property or assets of the Company or such Subsidiary that are the subject of such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder or the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of the Company or
such Subsidiary or the assets or property of any other Subsidiary. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, (i) the
priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock or other Preferred Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make
distributions on Equity Interests and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Subsidiary to other Debt Incurred by the Company or any such Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans
or advances. 
 Section 4.11. Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder
of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or a higher multiple of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase (the “Change of Control Offer”). In
such Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment (such payment, a “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to the date of purchase. 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail, or deliver electronically, a
notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date shall be
no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 

  
 56 

 
days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered electronically, pursuant to the procedures required by Section 3.05 and described in such notice.

 (d) The
Paying Agent will promptly mail or wire transfer to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (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. 
 (e) This Section 4.11 shall be
applicable regardless of whether any other Sections of this Indenture are applicable. 
 (f) The Company will not be required to make a
Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control 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 Indenture applicable to a Change of Control
Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described under Section 3.01, unless and
until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. 
 (g) If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption. 

  
 57 

 (h) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon
such Change of Control or another event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(i) The Company’s obligations to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of Holders of a
majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes. 
 Section 4.12. Limitation on Asset Sales. Neither the Company nor any
Guarantor will make any Asset Sale unless the following conditions are met: 
 (1) The Asset Sale is for fair market value,
as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. 
 (2) At least 75% of the consideration consists of
Cash Equivalents received at closing or Replacement Assets. For purposes of this clause (2): 
 (A) the assumption by the
purchaser, or cancellation, of Debt or other obligations (other than Subordinated Debt) of the Company or a Guarantor pursuant to a customary novation agreement or acknowledgement of such cancellation; provided however, that such
cancellation permanently retires such Debt (and in the case of a revolving credit facility, permanently reduces the commitment thereunder by such amount); 

(B) instruments, securities, obligations or other assets received from the purchaser that are promptly, but in any event
within 120 days of the closing, converted by the Company to Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the Cash Equivalents actually so received; and 

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any Guarantor in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair
market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $25,000,000 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) 

shall be considered Cash Equivalents received at closing. 

  
 58 

 (3) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds may be used to 
 (A) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of an operating business, a
majority of the Voting Stock of another Person that thereupon becomes a Subsidiary engaged in an operating business or to make other Investments in Persons other than Permitted Holders in the ordinary course of business (collectively,
“Replacement Assets”), 
 (B) make a capital contribution to a Subsidiary, the proceeds of which are used
by such Subsidiary to purchase an operating business, to make capital expenditures or otherwise acquire long-term assets that are to be used in an operating business or to make other Investments in Persons other than Permitted Holders in the
ordinary course of business; 
 (C) repay, repurchase or retire secured Debt of the Company or any Guarantor and, if
applicable, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto and in the case of a revolving credit, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder by such amount; and/or 

(D) repay, repurchase or retire the Notes or pari passu Debt and, if applicable, to correspondingly reduce commitments
with respect thereto and in the case of a revolving credit facility, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder by such amount; provided that if the Company shall so reduce such pari passu Debt, it will, on a ratable basis, make an Offer to
Purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth below to all holders of Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of Notes; 

provided that, in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of
the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as such commitment is entered into with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an
“Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second
Commitment”) is entered into within 180 days of such cancellation or termination (or, if later, within 450 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds); 

  
 59 

 
provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are applied, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute
Excess Proceeds. 
 Following the entering into of a binding commitment with respect to an Asset Sale and prior to the
consummation thereof, Cash Equivalents (whether or not actual Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale) used for the purposes described in this clause (3) that are designated as uses in accordance with this clause (3), and not previously or
subsequently so designated in respect of any other Asset Sale, shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds applied in accordance with this clause (3). 

(4) The Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale not applied within the time periods set forth in and pursuant to clause
(3) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”. Excess Proceeds of less than $35,000,000 will be carried forward and accumulated; provided that until the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $35,000,000, all or
any portion of such Excess Proceeds may be used or invested in the manner described in clause (3) above and such invested amount shall no longer be considered Excess Proceeds. When accumulated Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds such amount, the
Company must, within 30 days, make an Offer to Purchase Notes having a principal amount equal to 
 (A) accumulated Excess
Proceeds, multiplied by 
 (B) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of
the Notes and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all pari passu Debt owed to anyone other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or any Permitted Holder similarly required to
be repaid, redeemed or tendered for in connection with the Asset Sale, 
 rounded down to the nearest $1,000. If the Offer to Purchase is for
less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Company will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to
the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, by lot or any other method that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount will be purchased. The purchase price
for the Notes will be 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Upon completion of the Offer to Purchase, Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero, and any Excess Proceeds

  
 60 

 
remaining after consummation of the Offer to Purchase may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. 

(5) The Company shall 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 the Notes pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue of such compliance. 

Section 4.13. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and, to the extent within the
Company’s control, will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets,
or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (a “Related Party Transaction”), involving payments or consideration in excess of $5,000,000 except upon fair and reasonable terms that taken as a whole are no less
favorable to the Company or the Subsidiary than could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company. 

(b) Any Related Party Transaction or series of Related Party Transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $15,000,000 must first be
approved by a majority of the relevant Board of Directors who are disinterested in the subject matter of the transaction pursuant to a resolution of such Board of Directors. Prior to entering into any Related Party Transaction or series of Related
Party Transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $25,000,000, the Company must in addition obtain a favorable written opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm as to the fairness of the transaction
to the Company and its Subsidiaries from a financial point of view. 
 (c) The foregoing paragraphs do not apply to 

(1) any transaction between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or between Subsidiaries of the Company; 

(2) the payment, by the Company or a Subsidiary, of reasonable and customary regular fees and compensation to, and reasonable

(8) the entering into of any tax sharing agreement or arrangement or any other transactions undertaken in good faith for the
sole purpose of improving the tax efficiency of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

(11) (a) transactions between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Person that is an Affiliate solely because one or
more of its directors is also a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; 

  
 62 

 
provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or a Subsidiary on any matter involving such other Person or (b) transactions entered into with any of

Section 4.14. Financial Reports. (a) Whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company must provide the Trustee and Noteholders with, or electronically file with the Commission, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations 

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the
Company were required to file such reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s
certified independent accountants, and 
 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on

 In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will, if
the Commission will accept the filing, file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
regulations. In addition, the Company will make the information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

(c) Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish or file in a timely manner a report required by this
Section 4.14 shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.14) upon furnishing or filing such report or certification as contemplated by this Section 4.14 (but without regard to the
date on which such report or certification is so furnished or filed); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the holders under Article 6 hereunder if the 

  
 64 

 
principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any), have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such acceleration has not been
rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. 
 (d) All obligors on the Notes will comply with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 (e) Delivery of these reports and information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of them
will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 (f) Any subsequent restatement of financial statements shall have no retroactive effect for
purposes of calculations previously made pursuant to the covenants contained in this Indenture. 
 Section 4.15. Reports to
Trustee. (a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, a certificate from the principal executive, financial, operating or
accounting officer of the Company stating that the officer has conducted or supervised a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their performance under this Indenture and that, based upon such review, the Company has
fulfilled its obligations hereunder or, if there has been a Default, specifying the Default and its nature and status. 
 (b) The Company
will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the Company becomes aware or should reasonably become aware of the occurrence of a Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of

 (c) The Company will notify the Trustee in writing
when any Notes are listed on any national securities exchange and of any delisting. 
 Section 4.16. No Investment Company
Registration. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will register, or be required to register, as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

Section 4.17. Maintenance of Liquidity. From the Issue Date, the Company and the Guarantors shall maintain an amount in Cash
Equivalents that is subject to no Liens (other than Liens under the Security Documents) in an amount equal to the Company’s obligations to pay interest on the Notes and all other Debt of the Company and the Guarantors for the next six months.
In the case any such Debt bears interest at a floating rate, the Company may assume that the reference 

  
 65 

 
interest rate in effect on the applicable date of determination will be in effect for the remainder of such period. 

Section 4.18. [Reserved]. 

Section 4.19. Guaranties by Subsidiaries. If and for so long as any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, Guarantees any Debt of the
Company (other than the Notes), such Subsidiary shall provide a Note Guaranty. A Subsidiary required to provide a Note Guaranty shall execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B, and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to
the Trustee to the effect that the supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Subsidiary, enforceable against the Subsidiary in accordance with its
terms (subject to customary exceptions). 
 Section 4.20. Suspension of Certain Covenants. (a) If at any time after the
Issue Date that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings by each of S&P and Moody’s (or, if either (or both) of S&P and Moody’s have been substituted in accordance with the definition of “Rating Agencies”, by each
of the then applicable Rating Agencies) and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Company and the Guarantors will not be subject to the covenants in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.17 and 5.01(a)(iii)(3) (the
“Suspended Covenants”). 
 (b) In the event that the Company and the Guarantors are not subject to the Suspended Covenants
for any period of time as a result of Section 4.20(a), and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the condition set forth in clause (i) of Section 4.20(a) is no longer satisfied, then the Company and the
Guarantors will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenant with respect to future events. 
 (c) On each Reversion Date, all Debt
Incurred during such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended (a “Suspension Period”) prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to be Debt Incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(8). For purposes of calculating the
amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a)(3), calculations under such covenant shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect during the Suspension Period. Restricted Payments made during the Suspension
Period not otherwise permitted under Section 4.07(b), or permitted under clauses (1), (10) and (13) of Section 4.07(b), will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a)(3). For
purposes of Section 4.12, on the Reversion Date, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to the amount of Excess Proceeds in effect as of the first day of the Suspension Period ending on such Reversion Date. Notwithstanding that the
Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during a Suspension 

  
 66 

 
Period (or on the Reversion Date after a Suspension Period based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

Person had been named as the Company in this Indenture. Upon such substitution, except in the case of a sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition of less than all its assets, the Company will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and

ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULT
AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if

or redemption, or otherwise (other than pursuant to an Offer to Purchase); 
 (2) the Company defaults in the payment of interest (including
any Additional Interest) on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(5) the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or under the Notes
and the default or breach continues for a period of 60 consecutive days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes; 

(6) the failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to pay any Debt (other than intercompany Debt) within any applicable grace period
after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Debt by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Debt unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50,000,000; 

(7) one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money in the aggregate for all such Persons are rendered against the Company or
any of its Significant Subsidiaries and are not paid or discharged, and there is a period of 60 

  
 69 

 
consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such
Persons to exceed $50,000,000 (in excess of amounts which the Company’s insurance carriers have agreed to pay under applicable policies) during which a stay of enforcement, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect; 

(8) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary with respect to it or its debts
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case
or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief is entered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

(10) any Note Guaranty of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in accordance the terms of this
Indenture, or a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guaranty. 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default, other than a bankruptcy default with respect to the Company, occurs
and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may, and the
Trustee at the written request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and
interest will become immediately due and payable. If a bankruptcy default occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

  
 70 

 (b) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to
the Company and to the Trustee may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if 

(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and 
 (2) the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. 

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Trustee, waive an existing Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, the Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured,
but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 In the event of a declaration
of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(6) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default
triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(6) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Debt, or the Debt that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 days after the
declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except
nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee 

  
 71 

 
may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes. 

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless: 

(1) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under this Indenture; 
 (3) Holders have
offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to
Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the right of a Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of or interest on its Note on or after the Stated Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder. 
 Section 6.08.

an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and
such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements 

  
 72 

 
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. 

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any Guarantor or their respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable or
deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make
such payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following
order: 
 First: to the Trustee for all amounts due to it hereunder; 

Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest; and 
 Third: to the
Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and
payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. 
 Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the
Trustee or any Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then,
subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, any Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former 

  
 73 

 
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, any Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee or a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Note on the respective due dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 

Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this
Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy. 

Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Guarantor covenants, to the extent that it may
lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or the
Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The
Company and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not 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 had been enacted.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct. 
 Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to Trust Indenture Act
Sections 315(a) through (d): 
 (1) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, and will be
protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to
the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts
stated therein). The Trustee, in its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit. 

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel
conforming to Section 12.05 and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in conclusive reliance on the certificate or opinion. 

  
 75 

 (3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent (other than an agent who is an employee of the Trustee) appointed with due care. 

(4) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

(5) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. 
 (6) The Trustee may
consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
conclusive reliance thereon. 
 (7) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

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

(9) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive 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. 

  
 76 

 (10) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth
the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and
311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6): 
 (a) “cash transaction” means any
transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and 

(b) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn,
negotiated or incurred for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods,
wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the
creditor relationship arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee will
send notice of the Default to each Holder within 90 days after it occurs, unless the Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold
the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. Notice to Holders under this Section will be given in the manner and to the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act
Section 313(c). 
 Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with
May 15, 2014, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such 

  
 77 

 
May 15, if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a), and file such reports with each stock exchange upon which its Notes are listed and with the Commission as required by Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(d). 
 Section 7.07. Compensation And Indemnity. (a) The Company will pay the Trustee
compensation as agreed upon in writing for its services. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

(b) The Company will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by it without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Notes, including the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder, or any other Person) or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee
shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents subject to the claim may have separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel if the Trustee concludes, upon advice of counsel, that there exists
a conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee and its agents subject to the claim in connection with such defense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 

(c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, and interest on particular Notes.

notice to the Company. 
 (2) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee
by written notice to the Trustee. 

  
 78 

 (3) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or in the
circumstances described in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any Holder that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (4) The Company may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible
under Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

appointment as provided in this Section. 
 (b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the
successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (c) Upon delivery by the
successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, (i) the retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.07, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. Upon request of any
successor Trustee, the Company will execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The Company will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee
and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further

Section 310(a) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

Section 7.11. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree
in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article 8.

the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be reinstated as though no such deposit in trust had been made. If the Company makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its

Section 8.07. Applicable Premium. In the case of either discharge or defeasance pursuant to this Article 8, upon any redemption
that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited with the Trustee shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of

Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward
such redemption.

 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 

Section 9.01. Amendments Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Notes without notice to or the consent of any Noteholder 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this
Indenture or the Notes; 
 (2) to comply with Article 5; 

(3) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act; 
 (4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee; 

(5) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, provided that the
uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or any successor provision; 

(6) to provide for any Guarantee of the Notes, to secure the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or
discharge of any Guarantee of or Lien securing the Notes when such release, termination or discharge is permitted by this Indenture; 

(7) to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Notes; 

(8) to make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or 

(9) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the
Offering Circular, as certified by an Officer’s Certificate. 
 Section 9.02. Amendments With Consent of Holders.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.04 and 6.07 or paragraph (b), the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes, and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. 

  
 84 

 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent of each Holder affected,
an amendment or waiver may not 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of or change the Stated Maturity of any installment of
principal of any Note, 
 (2) reduce the rate of or change the Stated Maturity of any interest payment on any Note, 

(3) reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time of any mandatory redemption or, in respect of
an optional redemption, the times at which any Note may be redeemed, 
 (4) after the time an Offer to Purchase is required
to have been made, reduce the purchase amount or purchase price, or extend the latest expiration date or purchase date thereunder, 

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note, 

(6) impair the right of any Holder of Notes to receive any principal payment or interest payment on such Holder’s Notes,
on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, 
 (7) make any change
in the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes required for amendments or waivers, 
 (8) modify or change any
provision of this Indenture affecting the ranking (as to contractual right of payment) of the Notes or any Note Guaranty in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes, or 

(9) release any Note Guaranty other than as permitted by this Indenture. 

(c) It is not necessary for Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if
their consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become effective on receipt
by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders
affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to send such 

  
 85 

 
notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

Section 9.03. Effect of Consent. (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder
unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented
to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder. 
 (b) If an amendment,
supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for
a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or
exchange Notes in this fashion. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a certificate of authentication, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.04. Trustee’s Rights and Obligations. The Trustee shall receive, and will be fully protected in conclusively
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is a legal, valid, and binding obligation enforceable against

not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture or Note authorized pursuant to this

sentence, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTIES 

Section 10.01. The Guaranties. Subject to the provisions of this Article, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, the full and punctual payment (whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase or acceleration, or
otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture. Upon failure by the Company to pay
punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Indenture. 

Section 10.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by 

(1) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Company under this
Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise; 
 (2) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this
Indenture or any Note; 
 (3) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in this Indenture or any Note; 

(4) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at
any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory
counterclaim; 
 (5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of this Indenture
or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture; or 

(6) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other
circumstance 

  
 87 

 
whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 

Section 10.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any
other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect
to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 Section 10.04. Waiver by the
Guarantors. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be
taken by any Person against the Company or any other Person. 
 Section 10.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any
payment with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not
enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Notes
remains unpaid. 
 Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the
Company under this Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors
hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders. 
 Section 10.07. Limitation on Amount of Guaranty. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under
applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of
each Guarantor under its Note Guaranty are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to 

  
 88 

 
avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. 

Section 10.08. Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. The execution by each Guarantor of a supplemental indenture (substantially in
the form of Exhibit B) will evidence the Note Guaranty 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 Note Guaranty set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 

Section 10.09. Release of Guaranty. The Note Guaranty of a Guarantor will terminate automatically upon 

(1) a sale, transfer or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or
disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the Company or a Subsidiary) not prohibited by this Indenture; 

(2) a Guarantor ceases to guarantee any Debt of the Company (other than the Notes); or 

(3) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article 8. 

Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee
will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guaranty.

any, or interest on any Note (including any payment to be made on any date fixed for redemption or purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business Day, then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next

 The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on
January 15, 2022. 
 The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each interest payment date, as set
forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of 7.750% per annum [(subject to adjustment as provided below)].1 

Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1
immediately preceding the interest payment date) on each interest payment date, commencing July 15, 2014. 
 [The Holder of this Note
is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 21, 2014, between the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), including the right to receive
Additional Interest (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).]2 
 Interest on
this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note [or the Note surrendered in exchange for this Note]3 (or, if there is no existing default in the
payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a regular record date and the next interest payment date, from such interest payment date) or, if no interest has been paid, from [the Issue Date].4 Interest will be computed in the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

record date, the Company will send to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that sets forth the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. 
  

	2.	Indentures 

 This is one of the Notes issued under an Indenture dated as of
January 21, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise

Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control. 

The Notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future
unsubordinated Debt of the Company. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $200,000,000, but Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional
Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class. 
  

	3.	Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 

 This Note is
subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further described in the Indenture. There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note. 

If the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, the Company may in certain circumstances be discharged from the Indenture and the Notes or may be discharged from certain of its obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture.

  

	4.	Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

 The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that Notes may be issued in denominations of less than $2,000 solely to accommodate book-entry positions that have been created
by a DTC participant in denominations of less than $2,000. A Holder may register the transfer or 

 
exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note. 

 

	5.	Defaults and Remedies. 

 If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the Notes
automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies. 
  

	6.	Amendment and Waiver. 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be
amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the
Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency if such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect. 

 

	7.	Authentication. 

 This Note is not valid until the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent)
signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 
  

	8.	Governing Law.

laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof.
