of any Subsidiary due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Equity Interests constitute Pledged Stock, then such Equity Interests shall automatically be deemed not to be Pledged Stock, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such
requirement; and (z) in the event that either Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit)
such Equity Interests to constitute Pledged Stock without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then such Equity Interests shall automatically be deemed to be Pledged Stock;
(b)(i) the debt obligations listed opposite the name of such Pledgor on Schedule II, (ii) any debt securities in the future issued to such Pledgor, and (iii) the certificates, promissory notes and any other instruments, if any, evidencing

Pledged Securities required to be delivered pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.02 shall be accompanied by stock powers or note powers, as applicable, duly executed in blank or other instruments of

The Pledgors, jointly and severally, represent, warrant and covenant to and with the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

Collateral Agent of rights and remedies hereunder; 
 (e) each Pledgor has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged

 11

has occurred, the Collateral Agent) to maintain the security interest of the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) therein as a valid, perfected, first priority security interest. 

Section 3.04. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to
such Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant

pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.05 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral Agent which shall have the sole and exclusive right and
authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions; provided, however, that even after the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Sections

paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 3.05, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 3.05, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the requisite Holders of the Notes, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Issuers have delivered to the
Collateral Agent a certificate to that effect, each Pledgor shall have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.

registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements or amendments. Each Pledgor
represents and warrants that a fully executed Intellectual Property Security Agreement containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property with respect to United States Patents (and Patents for which United
States applications are pending), United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights (and Copyrights for which United States registration
applications are pending) has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and shall be recorded by or on behalf of such Pledgor with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15
U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of such Intellectual Property in which a security interest may be perfected by recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office,
and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than the Uniform Commercial Code financings statements referred to above, and other than such actions as are necessary to
perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed after the date hereof). 

(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment
and performance of the Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 4.02(c), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a
financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law in such jurisdictions and (iii) a security
interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office, as applicable. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral other than Liens in respect of Senior Lender Claims and other Permitted Liens. 

(e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Pledgors free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. None of the Pledgors has
filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Pledgor assigns any
Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (iii) any assignment in which any Pledgor assigns
any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or
similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Permitted Liens. 

  
 19 

  
 (f) None of the
Pledgors holds any Commercial Tort Claim individually in excess of $1.0 million as of the date hereof except as indicated on Schedule V. 
 (g) Except as set forth in Schedule VI, as of the date hereof, all Accounts have been originated by the Pledgors and all Inventory has been produced or acquired by the Pledgors in the ordinary course of
business. 
 (h) As to itself and its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property (the “Intellectual
Property Collateral”), to the best of each Pledgor’s knowledge: 
 (i) The Intellectual Property Collateral set
forth on Schedule III includes all of the material Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and IP Agreements owned by such Pledgor as of the date hereof. 
 (i) The Intellectual Property Collateral is subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part (except for office actions issued in the ordinary course by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office in any foreign jurisdiction), and to the best of such Pledgor’s knowledge, is valid and enforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Pledgor is
not aware of any uses of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral that would be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(ii) Such Pledgor has made or performed all commercially reasonable acts, including without limitation filings,
recordings and payment of all required fees and taxes, required to maintain and protect its interest in each and every item of Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect in the United States and such Pledgor has used proper statutory
notice in connection with its use of each Patent, Trademark and Copyright in the Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (iii) With respect to each IP Agreement, the absence, termination or violation of which would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (A) such Pledgor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such IP Agreement; (B) such Pledgor has not received any notice of a breach or default under such IP Agreement,
which breach or default has not been cured or waived; and (C) neither such Pledgor nor any other party to such IP Agreement is in breach or default thereof in any material respect, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such IP Agreement. 
 (iv) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Pledgor or Intellectual Property Collateral is subject to any outstanding consent, settlement, decree, order,
injunction, judgment or ruling restricting the use of any Intellectual Property Collateral or that would impair the validity or enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral. 

  
 20 

  
 Section 4.03.
Covenants. (a) Each Pledgor agrees to provide at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent of any change (i) in its corporate or organization name, (ii) in its identity or type of organization or
corporate structure, (iii) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number or (iv) in its “location” (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307). Each Pledgor agrees promptly to
provide the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Pledgor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the first sentence of this
paragraph (a) unless all filings have been made, or will have been made within any applicable statutory period, under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times prior to
and following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral prior to any other Lien other than Liens in respect of Senior Lender Claims and other Permitted Liens, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties. Each Pledgor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Article 9 Collateral owned or held by such Pledgor is damaged or destroyed. 

(b) Subject to the rights of such Pledgor under the Indenture Documents to dispose of Collateral, each Pledgor shall, at its own expense,
use commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Article 9 Collateral and the
priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien. 
 (c) Each Pledgor agrees, at its own expense, to execute,
acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as may from time to time be required to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and
remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture
filings and continuation statements if applicable) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $1.0 million shall be or become
evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent). 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any Intellectual Property after the Closing Date (i) the
provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such Intellectual Property shall automatically become part of the Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At the time of any required
delivery of information pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i) or (ii) of the Indenture, each Pledgor shall (i) deliver to the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) such supplements to
Schedule III hereto as may be necessary to cause such Schedule to be complete and accurate at such time, (ii) sign and deliver to the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) an appropriate
Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to all applicable Intellectual Property owned or exclusively licensed by it as of the last day of the 

  
 21 

 
applicable fiscal year, to the extent that such Intellectual Property is not covered by any previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement so signed and delivered by it and (iii) take
such other action as shall be necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such Collateral, in each case within 30 days after the date of delivery of the relevant information required
to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i) or (ii) of the Indenture (or such later date as the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) may determine in its absolute discretion).

 (d) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the First Lien Agent (or, if the First
Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) shall have the right to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral,
including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The First Lien
Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) shall have the right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party. 

(e) Following the First Lien Termination Date, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, at its option, the Collateral Agent may
discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and that is not a Permitted Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the
Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Pledgor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, and each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable
expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.03(e) shall be interpreted as excusing any Pledgor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Pledgor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the
other Indenture Documents. 
 (f) Each Pledgor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable for
the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral and each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance. 
 (g)
None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral, except as permitted by the Indenture and the other
provisions hereof. None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral and each Pledgor shall remain at all times in possession of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except as permitted by the Indenture,
the Intercreditor Agreement and the other provisions hereof. 

  
 22 

  
 (h) Without the First
Lien Agent’s (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes) prior written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any person liable for
the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with prudent business practices or as
otherwise permitted under the Indenture (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (i) None of the Pledgors shall re-date any
invoice or sale or make sales on extended dating or extend or modify any Account outside the ordinary course of business. 
 (j)
Each Pledgor shall take commercially reasonable steps to settle, contest, or adjust any dispute or claim in excess of $1.0 million at no expense to the Secured Parties. No discount, credit, or allowance shall be granted to any Account Debtor without
the First Lien Agent’s (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent’s) prior written consent, except for discounts, credits, and allowances made or given in the ordinary course of business of the Issuers
(unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent has notified the Issuers that such exception is withdrawn). 
 (k) If an Account Debtor returns any Inventory to any Pledgor then, unless an Event of Default exists and the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent)
has given notice to such Pledgor not to do so, such Pledgor shall promptly determine the reason for such return and if such return has a valid reason shall issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount. All returned
Inventory of a Pledgor shall be subject to the Collateral Agent’s Liens thereon. 
 (l) Each Pledgor shall keep its
Inventory (other than returned or obsolete Inventory) in good and marketable condition, except for damaged or defective Goods arising in the ordinary course of its business. Each Pledgor will not, without the prior written consent of the First Lien
Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), acquire or maintain any Inventory in excess of $1.0 million at any time on consignment or approval unless such Inventory is disclosed to the First Lien Agent (or, if
the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) and the relevant Pledgor takes appropriate steps to insure that all of such Inventory meets the criteria of Eligible Inventory, including delivery of appropriate subordination
agreements, if necessary. The Pledgors will conduct a physical count of their Inventory at least once per each of their respective fiscal years, and during the existence of an Event of Default, at such other times as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request. Without the First Lien Agent’s (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent’s) written consent, the Pledgors will not sell, through a single transaction or a series of related transactions,
Inventory on a bill and hold, guaranteed sale, sale and return, sale on approval, consignment, or other repurchase or return basis in excess of $1.0 million. 

  
 23 

  
 (m) In connection with
all Inventory financed by letters of credit, the Pledgors will, when an Event of Default is continuing, at the First Lien Agent’s (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent’s) request, instruct all
suppliers, carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses or other persons receiving or holding cash, checks, inventory, documents or instruments in which the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral
Agent) holds a security interest to deliver them to the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) and/or subject to the First Lien Agent’s (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred,
the Collateral Agent’s) order, and if they shall come into the Issuers’ or their Subsidiaries’ possession, to deliver them, upon request, to the First Lien Agent’s (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the
Collateral Agent’s) in their original form. The Pledgors shall also, when an Event of Default is continuing, at the First Lien Agent’s (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent’s) request, designate
the First Lien Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable documents. 
 (n) Each Pledgor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful agent
(and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the First Lien Termination Date, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the
name of such Pledgor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. Following the First Lien Termination Date, in the
event that any Pledgor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or under the Indenture or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may (but shall in no
event be required to), without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Pledgors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions
with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.03(n), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges
relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Pledgors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby. 
 Section 4.04. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral: 

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments (other than checks
received and processed in the ordinary course of business) or Tangible Chattel Paper evidencing an amount in excess of $1.0 million, such Pledgor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien
Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. 

  
 24 

  
 (b) Investment
Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article III, if any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any Certificated Security, such Pledgor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the First Lien Agent (or if the
First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any security of a domestic issuer now owned or hereafter acquired by any Pledgor is uncertificated and
is issued to such Pledgor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the First Lien Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing of such uncertificated securities and (i) upon the First Lien Agent’s (or
if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent’s) reasonable request or (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Pledgor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), either (x) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien
Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) as to such security, without further consent of any Pledgor or such nominee, or (y) cause the issuer to register the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the
Collateral Agent) as the registered owner of such security. If any security or other Investment Property, whether certificated or uncertificated, representing an Equity Interest in a third party and having a fair market value in excess of $1.0
million now or hereafter acquired by any Pledgor is held by such Pledgor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s
request and option, pursuant to a Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), either (A) cause such securities intermediary
or commodity intermediary, as applicable, to agree, in the case of a securities intermediary, to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral
Agent) to such securities intermediary as to such securities or other Investment Property or, in the case of a commodity intermediary, to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the First Lien Agent (or if the
First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Pledgor or such nominee, or (B) in the case of financial assets or other Investment Property held
through a securities intermediary, arrange for the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, with such Pledgor being permitted, only with the consent of the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment
Property. The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Pledgors that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not
withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Pledgor, unless the First Lien Termination Date has occurred and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such withdrawal or
dealing rights, would occur. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a Securities Account for which the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent)
is the securities intermediary. 

  
 25 

  
 (c) Commercial Tort
Claims. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $1.0 million, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Pledgor,
including a summary description of such claim, and grant to the Collateral Agent in writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 
 Section 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Collateral. Except as permitted by the Indenture or the Senior Lender Documents: 
 (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not
knowingly do any act or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s
business may become prematurely invalidated, abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable steps with respect to any material products covered by any such Patent as necessary and sufficient to
establish and preserve its rights under applicable patent laws. 
 (b) Each Pledgor will, and will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for each material Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment
or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of federal or foreign registration or claim of trademark or service mark as required under
applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of such Trademark in violation of any third-party rights. 
 (c) Each Pledgor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees and its sublicensees to, for each work covered by a material Copyright necessary to the normal conduct of
such Pledgor’s business that it publishes, displays and distributes, use a copyright notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws. 

(d) Each Pledgor shall notify the First Lien Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright
material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business may imminently become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development, (excluding office actions and similar determinations or
developments) in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of any country, regarding such Pledgor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right
to register or to maintain the same. 
 (e) Each Pledgor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee,
shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on an annual basis of each application by itself, or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, for any Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and each registration of any
Trademark or Copyright with the 

  
 26 

 
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country filed during the preceding twelve-month period, and
(ii) shall execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as may be reasonably required to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright. 

(f) Each Pledgor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country with respect to maintaining and pursuing each application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the
relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business and to maintain (i) each issued Patent and (ii) the registrations of each Trademark and each Copyright that is material to the normal conduct of
such Pledgor’s business, including, when applicable and necessary in such Pledgor’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance
fees, and, if any Pledgor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties. 
 (g) In the event that any Pledgor knows or has reason to know that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal conduct of its business has been or is
about to be materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the the Collateral Agent and shall, if such Pledgor deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly sue and recover
any and all damages, and take such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances. 
 ARTICLE V 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants with respect to Transportation Equipment 

The Pledgors jointly and severally represent, warrant and covenant to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties as follows: 

Section 5.01. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor is the true, lawful, sole and exclusive owner of or otherwise has the
right to use the After-Acquired Transportation Equipment of such Pledgor. Upon (i) completion of the actions contemplated by Sections 5.02 below (which actions have been taken, if this representation and warranty is being made after the date by
which such actions are required to have been taken pursuant to Section 5.02) and (ii) if required for perfection under the law of the relevant jurisdiction, receipt by the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has
occurred, the Collateral Agent) of official notification from the applicable Governmental Authority of the perfection of the Security Interest in Transportation Equipment contemplated hereby, all filings, registrations, recordings and other actions
shall have been taken such that After-Acquired Transportation Equipment constituting Collateral of the Pledgors shall be subject to the duly perfected Security Interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such Security
Interest shall be prior to any other Lien other than Liens in respect of Senior Lender Claims and other Permitted Liens. 

  
 27 

  
 Section 5.02.
Perfection of Security Interests in Transportation Equipment Represented by a Certificate of Title. 
 (a) To the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, with respect to all After-Acquired Transportation Equipment constituting Collateral from time to time hereafter owned by any Pledgor and represented by a certificate of title, within 90 days (or such longer
period as the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion) of the date of acquisition of such After-Acquired Transportation Equipment, each Pledgor
shall (i) cause to be delivered to the applicable Governmental Authority a duly completed application, pay any applicable fees and take any other actions within its control necessary in order to cause the certificate of title for such
After-Acquired Transportation Equipment at all times to be registered with the applicable Governmental Authority showing “The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent” as lienholder (and the Collateral Agent in such
capacity and the First Lien Agent shall be the only lienholders so registered ), (ii) if necessary to perfect in any jurisdiction, cause the Liens of the Collateral Agent to be identified on a notice of lien or other filing made in the
appropriate filing office in the applicable jurisdiction and pay all applicable fees in connection therewith, (iii) provide the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the taking of the actions referred to in preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) deliver the certificates of title for such After-Acquired Transportation Equipment to the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien
Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) (or its sub-agent). Promptly following the receipt by any Pledgor of any document evidencing official notification from the applicable Governmental Authority of the perfection of the Security
Interest in any After-Acquired Transportation Equipment (and in any event within five Business Days thereof), such Pledgor shall deliver such notification to the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral
Agent) (or its sub-agent). 
 (b) Each Pledgor agrees to execute all documentation reasonably required to cause the
registrations and filings with the applicable Governmental Authority referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.02 to be accomplished within the periods specified therein. Each Pledgor hereby grants to the First Lien
Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent (or its sub-agent)) an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any document or instrument, and to make
such filings, recordings and registrations, as may be required by the relevant Governmental Authority in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in any After-Acquired Transportation Equipment. Promptly following the
acquisition by any Pledgor of any After-Acquired Transportation Equipment (and in any event within ten Business Days of such acquisition), such Pledgor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent such supplements to Schedule VII hereto as may be necessary
to cause such Schedule to be complete and accurate at such time. 
 (c) On delivery by any Pledgor of a certificate signed by an
Officer of the Issuers (upon which the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely), stating that the termination of the Security Interest in, and the release of the Liens on, any specified After-Acquired Transportation Equipment is permitted by the
Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to 

  
 28 

 
evidence such termination or release (including, without limitation, UCC termination statements) and will duly assign and transfer to such Pledgor any of the After-Acquired Transportation
Equipment that may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 5.03. Maintenance of Registration. Each Pledgor shall, at its own expense and in accordance with reasonable business practices, process all documents required by the relevant Governmental
Authority to maintain vehicle registrations for all of its owned Transportation Equipment in all material respects. 
 Section
5.04. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) may, by written notice to the relevant Pledgor, take any or all of the
following actions: (i) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Pledgor in and to any After-Acquired Transportation Equipment constituting Collateral, vested in the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has
occurred, the Collateral Agent) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in which event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest, in the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, and the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 5.02(b) to execute, cause to be
acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute assignment with the applicable Governmental Authority and (ii) subject to Section 6 hereof, take and use or sell the After-Acquired Transportation Equipment. 

Section 5.05. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver
to the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its owned Transportation Equipment, documents of title, schedules, confirmatory
assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments, and take such further steps relating to such After-Acquired Transportation Equipment constituting
Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the First Lien Agent (or if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent) deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect,
preserve or protect its security interest in such After-Acquired Transportation Equipment. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Remedies 

Section 6.01. Remedies Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the First Lien Agent (or, if the First Lien Termination Date has occurred), the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent, in
addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, and such other rights and remedies to which a
secured creditor is 

  
 29 

 
entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant jurisdictions, and shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any
Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Pledgors to the Collateral Agent or to
license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall
determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use), (b) with or
without legal process (personally, or by agents or attorneys) and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to the applicable Pledgor, to enter any
premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial
Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and in accordance with, and to the extent
consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future
delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or
purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this
Section 6.01, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any
claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any
rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 
 The Collateral Agent shall, except in the case of Collateral that
is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, give the applicable Pledgors 10 Business Days’ written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of
Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in
the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or
exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or the
portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if
it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, 

  
 30 

 
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at
the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by
the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such
Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the
extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for
sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and
dispose of such property in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale
thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral
Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit
or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. 

Section 6.02. Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall promptly
apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows: 

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses and indemnification amounts incurred by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in connection with
such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Indenture Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all
advances made by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder or under any other Indenture Document on behalf of any Pledgor and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or
under any other Indenture Document; 
 SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the
Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and 

  
 31 

  
 THIRD, to the Pledgors, their
successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
 The Collateral Agent shall have absolute
discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated
to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 
 Section 6.03. Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the
Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities
Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the
Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there
may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.
Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
(a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or
other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller
than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral
Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as
aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 6.03 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the
price at which the Collateral Agent sells. 
 Section 6.04. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy
hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Security Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised 

  
 32 

 
from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or
the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the
Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring
any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the amounts thereof shall be
included in such judgment. 
 Section 6.05. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall have
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to
the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the
security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 Other Second-Lien Obligations 

Section 7.01. Other Second-Lien Obligations. On or after the date hereof and so long as permitted by the Indenture, the Issuers
may from time to time designate Other Second-Lien Obligations permitted by the Indenture to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral as Obligations hereunder by delivering to the Collateral Agent (a) a certificate signed by an Officer of the
Issuers (i) identifying the Other Second-Lien Obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, stating that such Other Second-Lien Obligations are designated as Obligations for purposes hereof,
(ii) representing that such designation of such obligations as Obligations complies with the terms of each of the Indenture Documents and Additional Secured Debt Documents and (iii) specifying the name and address of the Authorized
Representative for the holders of such Other Second-Lien Obligations, (b) a fully executed Additional Secured Party Consent (in the form attached as Exhibit II hereto); and (c) an opinion of counsel to the effect that the
designation of such obligations as Other Second-Lien Obligations is in compliance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes. The Collateral Agent agrees that upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the
Collateral Agent shall act as agent under and subject to the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of all Secured Parties, including without limitation, any secured parties that hold any such Other Second-Lien Obligations, and the Authorized
Representative for the holders of such Other Second-Lien Obligations agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the appointment, of the Collateral Agent as agent for the holders of such Other Second-Lien Obligations as set forth in each Additional
Secured Party Consent and agrees, on behalf of itself and each Secured Party it represents, to be bound by this Agreement.

 ARTICLE IX 
 Miscellaneous 

Section 9.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise permitted herein) be in writing and
given as provided in Section 13.02 of the Indenture. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Pledgor shall be given to it in care of QD LLC, with such notice to be given as provided in Section 13.02 of the Indenture.

 Section 9.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest in the
Article 9 Collateral, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any other
Indenture Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of
the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Indenture Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance). 
 Section 9.03. Limitation By Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision
of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid,
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. 
 Section 9.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such party shall have been
delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party, the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder
or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such 

  
 34 

 
assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each party and
may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any party without the approval of any other party and without affecting the obligations of any other party hereunder. 

Section 9.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective permitted successors and assigns; provided that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent hereunder
shall at all times be the same person that is the Trustee under the Indenture. Written notice of resignation by the Trustee, pursuant to the Indenture shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as the Trustee under the Indenture by a successor Trustee that successor Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent pursuant
hereto. 
 Section 9.06. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree
that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in the Indenture. 

(a) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Indenture Documents, each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees
to indemnify the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Affiliate of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, (i) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement
or any other Indenture Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) the use of proceeds of the Notes or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 9.06 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

 Section 9.07.
Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact; Duty of Collateral Agent. (a) Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking
any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and following the First Lien Termination Date, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, (a) to receive, endorse,
assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof, (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and
releases of all or any of the Collateral, (c) to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral, (d) to sign the name of any Pledgor on any
invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral, (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor, (f) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral, (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any
of the Collateral, (h) to notify, or to require any Pledgor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent, and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any
claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. 

(b) The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor
any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so
or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the
Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that
they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Pledgor
for any act or failure to act hereunder, 

  
 36 

 
except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation
statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. 

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity,
perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission is found by a
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment
contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

 (e) The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to act outside of the United States in respect of any Collateral located in a
jurisdiction other than the United States. 
 (f) Whenever the consent of the Collateral Agent is required or contemplated to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to provide such consent unless it shall have been directed to do so in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding under the Indenture. 
 (g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee under
the Indenture, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent hereunder, and by each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

Section 9.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 9.09. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No
failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Indenture Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder
and under the other Indenture Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or 

  
 37 

 
consent to any departure by any Holder therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor or Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9 of the Indenture.

 (c) For the purpose of Section 9.09(b) above, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
(i) written confirmation from the agent managing the solicitation of consents and a certificate signed by an Officer of the Issuers, provided by the Trustee, as to the receipt of valid consents from the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes to amend this Agreement (or two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes if required by Section 9.02 of the Indenture), and (ii) any document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person and the Collateral Agent need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. At any time that the Issuers desire that this Agreement be amended as provided in
Section 9.09(b) above, the Issuers shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by an Officer of the Issuers stating that the amendment of this Agreement is permitted pursuant to Section 9.09(b) above. If requested by the
Collateral Agent (although the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to make any such request), the Issuers shall furnish appropriate legal opinions (from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) to the effect set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence. Such officers’ certificate and legal opinion will contain the statements required by Section 9.06 of the Indenture. If requested by the Collateral Agent (although the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to make any such request), the Issuers shall furnish to the Collateral Agent copies of officers’ certificates and legal opinions delivered to the Trustee in connection with any amendment to the Indenture affecting the operation of
this Section 9.09. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificates or opinions. 
 Section 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INDENTURE DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10. 

  
 38 

  
 Section 9.11.
Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Indenture Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 Section
9.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in
Section 9.04 hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original. 
 Section 9.13. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 Section 9.14. Jurisdiction; Consent to
Service of Process. (a) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America
sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Indenture Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Collateral Agent or any Holder may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Indenture Document against any Pledgor, or its properties, in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Indenture Document in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

Section 9.15. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement, the pledges made herein, the Security Interest and all other
security interests granted hereby shall terminate when (i) all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity or expense reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim has been made) have been paid in full in cash or immediately
available funds; provided that, upon payment in full of the Notes Obligations, the Collateral Agent may assume that no Obligations are outstanding unless otherwise advised in writing by the Issuers;

  
 39 

 
and (ii) this Agreement, the pledges made herein, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby, and all other Security Documents securing the Obligations, shall
automatically terminate as of the date when the Holders of at least two thirds in aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued and outstanding under the Indenture consent to the termination of this Agreement, such termination to include, without
limitation, the termination of the pledge of the Pledged Collateral and the Security Interest. 
 (b) A Subsidiary Pledgor shall
automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interests in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Pledgor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Indenture as a result of which
such Subsidiary Pledgor ceases to be a Subsidiary of QD LLC or otherwise ceases to be a Pledgor. 
 (c) Upon any sale or other
transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Indenture to any person that is not a Pledgor, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant
to the Indenture, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. If any of the Collateral shall become subject to the release provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, such Collateral shall be automatically
released from the security interest in such Collateral to the extent provided therein. 
 (d) In connection with any termination
or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9.15 or Section 11.08 of the Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such
Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including, without limitation, UCC termination statements) and will duly assign and transfer to such Pledgor such of the Pledged Collateral that may be in the possession of
the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral
Agent. 
 Section 9.16. Additional Subsidiaries. If, pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer is required to cause any
Subsidiary that is not a Pledgor to become a Pledgor, upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Pledgor hereunder with the same
force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Agreement. 
 Section 9.17.
Subject to Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and
security interests granted (x) to General Electric Capital Corporation, as fixed asset revolving facility collateral agent (and its permitted successors), for the benefit of the secured parties referred to below pursuant to the Collateral
Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), from the “Pledgors” referred to therein, 

  
 40 

 
in favor of General Electric Capital Corporation, as collateral agent for the secured parties referred to therein, and (y) to General Electric Capital Corporation, as current asset revolving
facility collateral agent (and its permitted successors), for the benefit of the secured parties referred to below pursuant to the Collateral Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time), from the “Pledgors” referred to therein, in favor of General Electric Capital Corporation, as collateral agent for the secured parties referred to therein, and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by
the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement (except with respect to terms
relating to the Collateral Agent’s rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits), the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. 
 Section 9.18. Senior Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and any Secured Party, that any provision of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, until the First Lien Termination Date, the Pledgors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting pursuant to the Security Documents or with respect to any Collateral on which the First Lien Agent has a Lien superior in
priority to the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon in any manner that would result in a default under the terms and provisions of the Senior Lender Documents.

 EXHIBIT I

 to Collateral Agreement 
 SUPPLEMENT NO.          dated as of
                     (this “Supplement”), to the Collateral Agreement dated as of November 3, 2010 (the
“Collateral Agreement”), among QUALITY DISTRIBUTION, INC., a Florida corporation (“Holdings”), QUALITY DISTRIBUTION, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“QD LLC”) and QD CAPITAL CORPORATION,
a Delaware Corporation (together with QD LLC, the “Issuers”), each Subsidiary of QD LLC identified on Schedule I or otherwise identified herein as a party (each, a “Subsidiary Pledgor” and collectively, the
“Subsidiary Pledgors”) and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A. as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (as defined below) (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”). 

A. Reference is made to the indenture dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, Holdings, and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as trustee. 
 B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture and the Collateral Agreement. 

C. The Pledgors have entered into the Collateral Agreement in order to induce to induce the Trustee to enter into the Indenture, and to
induce the Holders of the Notes to purchase the Notes. Section 9.16 of the Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Pledgors under the Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in
the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture to become a Subsidiary Pledgor under the Collateral Agreement as
consideration for the entry by the Trustee into the Indenture and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders. 
 Accordingly, the
Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 9.16 of the Collateral
Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Pledgor under the Current Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Pledgor, and the New Subsidiary hereby
(a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Pledgor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Pledgor thereunder are true
and correct, in all material respects, on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), does hereby
create and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien on all the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of
the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Pledgor” or “Pledgor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by
reference. 

  
 Exhibit II

 Page 2 

  
 SECTION 2. The New
Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing. 
 SECTION 3. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract. This Supplement
shall become effective when (a) the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and (b) the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. 

SECTION 4. Schedules I, II, III, IV, V and VI and to the Collateral Agreement are hereby amended by supplementing such Schedules with the
information for the New Subsidiary contained in Annexes A, B, C, D, E and F attached hereto. 
 SECTION 5. Except as expressly
supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 7. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Collateral
Agreement. 
 SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 10. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the New Subsidiary, and the Collateral Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Collateral Agent makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplement.

Transaction (or a fractional undivided interest therein) by a Receivables Subsidiary in a Qualified Receivables Transaction;

Participants and Indirect Participants of their interests in such Global Note, certificated Notes shall be issued to each Person that such Participants, Indirect Participants and DTC jointly identify as being the beneficial owner of the related
Notes. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.7 and 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to

 -49-

 
any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge for their fees and expenses in replacing a Note

considered as not outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed
to be owned by the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer until legal title to such Notes passes to the Issuer, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate, as the case may be. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall promptly
furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such

 SECTION 2.12.
Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes)
is registered at the close of business on the regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3. 

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a
period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the
Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 

(a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their
respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest
Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date
(the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.1, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 
 (b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date at maturity) would otherwise be a
day that is not a Business Day, then the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day (except if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, then interest shall be paid on the immediately preceding
Business Day). If 

  
 -51-

 
the maturity date of the Notes is a day that is not a Business Day, all payments to be made on such day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if
made on the maturity date. In either of such cases, no additional interest shall be payable as a result of such delay in payment. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The
Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use of CUSIP numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note or
notice to Holders. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 SECTION 2.14.
Record Date. The Record Date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of the Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as provided for in TIA
§ 316(c).

reason, the Issuer shall post the reports specified in the preceding sentence on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Issuer were required to file those reports with the SEC. 

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer or the

Section 3.3(a); and 
 (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other
Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i) and (xiv) of Section 3.4(b), but excluding all other clauses of

encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or any of its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person or any of its Subsidiaries, so acquired; provided
that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred; 
 (v) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts, leases, subleases, licenses and sublicenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

Section 3.6, (i) the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to
make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to other Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a
restriction on the ability to make loans or advances. 
 SECTION 3.7. Limitation on Sales of Assets. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 

(i) the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at
least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 

(ii) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary has complied with
the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents; and 
 (iii) at least 75% of the consideration
received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this Section 3.7(a)(iii), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: 

(1) Cash Equivalents; 
 (2) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their
terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; 

(3) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such
transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of receipt, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; 

(4)(i) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided,
however, that (x) any such Designated Noncash Consideration 

  
 -67-

 
that is converted into Cash Equivalents shall be treated as Net Proceeds in the manner set forth below and (y) in the event such Designated Noncash Consideration is an Investment, such
Designated Noncash Consideration shall reduce amounts available under clause (16) of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer, and (ii) any Designated Noncash Consideration the Fair Market Value of
which, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this subclause (ii) (and not subsequently converted into Cash Equivalents that are treated as Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale), does not exceed the
greater of $15.0 million and 3% of Total Assets at the time of receipt since the Issue Date, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent
changes in value; and 
 (5) any Capital Stock, Investments or assets permitted by clause (ii) or
(iv) of Section 3.7(b). 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale the
Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds at its option: 

(i) to repay or prepay any (x) Priority Payment Lien Obligations; provided that if the Priority Payment Lien
Obligation is revolving credit Indebtedness, the Issuer shall effect a corresponding reduction of commitments with respect thereto or (y) Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien on the assets sold whose prepayment is required by its terms upon
such Asset Sale; 
 (ii) to (x) acquire Capital Stock of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business,
if, after giving effect thereto, such Person is or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or (y) make Investments pursuant to clause (16) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

 (iii) to make capital expenditures; or 

(iv) to acquire assets (other than Indebtedness and Capital Stock) to be used by the Issuer or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary in a Permitted Business; 
 provided that (a) the requirements of clauses (ii) through (iv) of this
Section 3.7(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied if an agreement (including a lease, whether a capital lease or an operating lease) committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to in any of clauses (ii) through
(iv) of this Section 3.7(b) is entered into by the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds shall be applied to
satisfy such commitment in accordance with such agreement within 180 days of such commitment and if such Net Proceeds are not so applied within such 180-day period, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below), and
(b) the requirement of clause (ii)(x) of this Section 3.7(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to any Net Proceeds from the sale or issuance of Equity Interests of a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary to the extent an amount
equal to such Net Proceeds was used as described in clause (ii)(x) of this Section 3.7(b) within 365 days prior to the receipt of such Net Proceeds. In addition, to the extent that the assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale
constituted Collateral, the assets acquired with the proceeds pursuant to any of clauses (ii) through (iv) of this Section 3.7(b) or acquired as consideration for such Assets Sale shall constitute Collateral. 

  
 -68-

  
 (c) Pending the final
application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the third paragraph of this covenant shall
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, within ten business days thereof, the Issuer shall make an offer (“Asset Sale Offer”) to: 

(i) in the case of Net Proceeds from Collateral, all holders of First Lien Obligations, and 

(ii) in the case of any other Net Proceeds, all holders of First Lien Obligations and all holders of other Indebtedness
that ranks pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (“Pari Passu Debt”). 

(e) The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Obligations (in the case of Net Proceeds from Collateral) or First Lien Obligations and Pari Passu Debt (in the case of any other Net Proceeds) tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds
the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes, and the representative(s) for the holders of other First Lien Obligations and/or, if applicable, Pari Passu Debt shall select such other First Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Debt to
be purchased and prepaid, on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased). Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (f) The Issuer shall comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 SECTION 3.8. Limitation on
Affiliate Transactions. 
 (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any
payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2.5 million (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the
relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 

  
 -69-

  
 (ii)
the Issuer delivers to the Trustee (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such

of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction or Affiliate Transactions; and (ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an
opinion as to the fairness to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing. 

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of
Section 3.8(a): 
 (i) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director
indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto; 

(ii) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(iii) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) that is an Affiliate of the Issuer
solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 
 (iv) payment of reasonable directors’ fees; 
 (v) any issuance
of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to Affiliates of the Issuer; 
 (vi) Permitted
Investments or Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of Section 3.4;

(ix) transactions with joint ventures, Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, suppliers, contractors, joint venture
partners (including, without limitation, physicians) or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case which are in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, pursuant to joint venture agreements) and otherwise in
compliance with the terms of this Indenture, and which are fair to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Issuer
or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(x) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of their obligations, if any, or
obligations of Holdings under the terms of, any subscription, registration rights or stockholders agreement, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement

or similar agreement to which Holdings, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary, Holdings or
any other direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the entering into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of
obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement, taken
as a whole, are not materially disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Issuer;

 -71-

  
 (b) In the Change of
Control Offer, the Issuer shall offer a change of control payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any, on the Notes purchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 

(c) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the
“Change of Control Offer”) stating: 
 (1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such
Holder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date); 
 (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control; 
 (3) the purchase date, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and

 (4) the instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 3.9, that a Holder
must follow in order to have its Notes purchased. 
 (d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will,
to the extent lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 

(e) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the
Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase
date, a telegram, telex facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount at maturity of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his selection
to have such Note purchased. 
 (f) On the Change of Control Payment Date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this
Section 3.9 shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto. With respect to any Note purchased in
part, the Issuer will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal at maturity to the unpurchased portion of the original Note in the name of the holder upon cancellation of the original Note. 

  
 -72-

  
 (g) The paying agent
will promptly mail 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. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(h) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer. Additionally, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer or purchase the Notes as described under this Section 3.9 to the extent that the Issuer has mailed a notice to exercise its right
to redeem all Notes pursuant to Article V at any time prior to the time by which consummation of a Change of Control Offer is required, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of
Control Offer. 
 (i) The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Section 3.9, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.9 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or
regulations. 
 SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. 

(a) The Issuer shall cause all properties owned by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its
business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuer, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted
Subsidiary. 
 (b) The Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance
companies not Affiliates of the Issuer, insurance with respect to its properties (including the Collateral) and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such
types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and providing for not less than 30 days’ prior notice to the Collateral Agent of termination, lapse or cancellation of such insurance. The
Collateral Agent shall be named as an additional insured on all liability insurance policies of the Issuer and their Restricted Subsidiaries and the Trustee will be named as loss payee and mortgagee (if applicable) on all property and casualty
insurance policies of each such Person. 
 SECTION 3.11. Additional Guarantors. If, after the Issue Date, (a) the
Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, create a Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), (b) any Person shall become a Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not an Excluded Subsidiary (including by way of acquisition of Equity Interests of
such Person by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or redesignation of any Unrestricted 

  
 -73-

 
Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary) or (c) the Issuer otherwise elects to have any Restricted Subsidiary become a Guarantor, then, in each such case, and, in the case of clauses
(a) and (b), within 30 days of the creation of such Subsidiary or such Person becoming a Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary, the Issuer shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee Agreement and any joinders to the Security Documents and/or additional
Security Documents and effect all filings and other actions, in each case, necessary to grant valid and perfected security interests in the Collateral of such Restricted Subsidiary to secure the First Lien Obligations, 

(ii) deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee that such Guarantee Agreement and Security Documents (x) have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and (y) constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, and 

(iii) deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates, if any, representing all of the Equity Interests of such
Restricted Subsidiary, together with appropriate instruments of transfer executed and in delivered in blank. 
 SECTION 3.12.
Limitation on Line of Business. 
 (a) Business Activities. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

(b) Activities of Holdings. Holdings may not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any
trade or business, or conduct any business activity, other than (i) the issuance of its Equity Interests to its shareholders, (ii) the incurrence of Indebtedness as a guarantor of the Notes, the Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness
that is permitted to be incurred by the Issuer under Section 3.3; provided that the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are received by the Issuer as primary obligor and not retained by Holdings, and (iii) activities incidental
thereto. Neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall engage in any transactions with Holdings in violation of the immediately preceding sentence. 
 SECTION 3.13. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer (commencing with the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2010) an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status
and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 3.14. Statement by Officers as to
Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the knowledge thereof if such event is still continuing, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default or any event which, with notice
or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.1, which shall include their status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof. 

SECTION 3.15. Further Assurance; After-Acquired Collateral. 

(a) Upon the acquisition by the Issuer or any Guarantor after the Issue Date of (1) any after-acquired assets, including, but not
limited to, any after-acquired Material Real Property or any equipment or fixtures which constitute accretions, additions or technological upgrades to the equipment 

  
 -74-

 
or fixtures or any working capital assets that, in any such case, form part of the Collateral, or (2) any replacement assets in compliance with Section 3.7 the Issuer or such
Guarantor shall execute and deliver, (i) with regard to any Material Real Property, a mortgage and supporting documentation specified in this Indenture within 90 days of the date of acquisition, and (ii) to the extent required by the
Security Documents, any information, documentation, financing statements or other certificates and Opinions of Counsel as may be necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such
after-acquired property (other than Excluded Property (as defined in the Security Agreement)) and to have such after-acquired property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect. 
 (b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, at their expense, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further agreements, financing statements, documents and instruments,
and do or cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper, or which the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to evidence, perfect, maintain and enforce the lien in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority
thereof and benefits intended to be conferred as contemplated by, and to otherwise effectuate the provisions or purposes of, this Indenture and the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 3.16. No Layering of Debt. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is or purports to be by its terms (or by the
terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such
Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

 For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantors solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured by a junior priority Lien or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements or other arrangements
giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them. 
 SECTION 3.17.
Distributions by Qualified Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a) Except to the extent restricted pursuant to any Permitted
Payment Restrictions, the Issuer shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, cause each Qualified Restricted Subsidiary to declare and pay regular monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual dividends or distributions to the holders of its
Capital Stock in an amount equal to substantially all of the available cash flow of such Restricted Subsidiary for such period as determined in good faith by the board of directors, board of governors or such other individuals performing similar
functions, subject to fiduciary duties applicable to such board or individual and such ordinary and customary reserves and other amounts as, in the good faith judgment of such individuals, may be necessary so that the business of such Restricted
Subsidiary may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times, including amounts necessary for operations, capital expenditures, debt service and other needs. 
 (b) If, at any time, any Restricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements set forth in the definition of “Qualified Restricted Subsidiary,” it will thereafter cease to be a Qualified
Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture governing the Notes and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary

  
 -75-

 
as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date pursuant to Section 3.4, the Issuer will be in default of such covenant. The Board of
Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary not to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by such Restricted Subsidiary of any
outstanding Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 3.4, and (2) no Default would be in existence following such designation.
In the event (x) a Restricted Subsidiary fails to meet the requirements to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary or (y) the Board of Directors designates a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary not to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary, then
all Investments in such Subsidiary since the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been acquired and consequently reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 3.6 or the amount available for Restricted Investments under
clause (16) of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer. As of the Issue Date, all of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries are Qualified Restricted Subsidiaries. 

SECTION 3.18. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation
would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 3.4 or under one or more clauses of the definition of
Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the
Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted pursuant
to Section 3.4. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 3.3, the Issuer will be in
default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness and Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness and Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness and Liens are permitted under
Sections 3.3 and 3.5 and (2) such designation would not cause a Default. 
 SECTION 3.19. Payments for
Consent. Holdings shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or
amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all
holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 SECTION 3.20.
Intercompany Loan Refinancing. 
 (a) Subject to the following proviso, promptly following receipt of Net Proceeds from
any Intercompany Loan Refinancing, the Issuer shall, to the extent thereof: 
 (i) prepay, or make an offer to
prepay term loans that are Priority Payment Lien Obligations, and prepay such term loans to the extent the lenders thereof shall accept such offer in accordance with the terms of the applicable credit agreement, or reduce, or make an offer to
reduce, the commitments under any revolving credit facility that is a Priority Payment Lien Obligation (and prepay any borrowings thereunder to the extent that the aggregate amount of credit exposures thereunder exceeds the aggregate amount of
commitments) and, in the case of an offer to reduce, reduce the commitments of the lenders that accept such offer (and prepay such borrowings); and/or 
 (ii) make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase and if
applicable, to make an offer to purchase or prepay to the holders of other First Lien Obligations that by their terms require the Issuer to make an offer to purchase or prepay such First Lien Obligations upon an Intercompany Loan Refinancing (the
“Intercompany Loan Refinancing Offer”), and to purchase or prepay such First Lien Obligations on a pro rata basis with the Notes; 
 provided that the Issuer is not required to prepay, reduce commitments, make offers to prepay, reduce commitments or purchase Notes pursuant to clauses (i) and/or (ii) of this
Section 3.20(a) until the aggregate amount of proceeds received from one or more Intercompany Loan Refinancings (“Proceeds Amount”) exceeds $4.0 million. 

(b) Pending the final application of any such proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest
such proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If any such proceeds remain after consummation of the offer(s), as applicable, referred to above, the Issuer may use those proceeds for any purposes not prohibited by this
Indenture and the Proceeds Amount shall be reset at zero. 
 (c) The Issuer 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 or regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to an Intercompany Loan Refinancing Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the Intercompany Loan Refinancing Offer provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to
have breached its obligations under the Intercompany Loan Refinancing Offer provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 SECTION 3.21. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each of
the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

	  	 	100.000	% 

 (d) Before May 15,
2013, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any, to, the date of redemption (a “Make-Whole Redemption Date”). 
 (e) Unless the Issuer defaults in the
payment of the redemption price, interest and Additional Interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date. 

SECTION 5.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee of Optional and Mandatory Redemptions. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes
pursuant to Section 5.1, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 5 Business Days for Global Notes and 10 calendar days for Definitive Notes before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders
pursuant to Section 5.4, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (a) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the Redemption Date,
(c) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to
Section 5.3. 
 SECTION 5.3. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are
to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law, the Depositary or applicable stock exchange requirements; provided, however, that no Notes in an
unauthorized denomination shall be redeemed in part. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note in accordance with Section 5.7. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

  
 -81-

  
 For all purposes of
this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been
or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 5.4. Notice of Redemption. The Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class
mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”), to each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed. The Trustee may give notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is
issued in connection with Article VIII. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date, 
 (b) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.6, if any, 

(c) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof)
to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption, 

(d) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after
the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder shall receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 

(e) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date
payable as provided in Section 5.6) shall become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption
(or the portion thereof) shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 
 (f) the place or places where such
Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, 
 (g) the name and
address of the Paying Agent, 
 (h) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price, 
 (i) the CUSIP number, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or
correctness of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes, and 
 (j) the Section of
this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice
of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give
such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

  
 -82-

  
 SECTION 5.5.
Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date. 

SECTION 5.6. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the
payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Issuer at the redemption price, together
with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes. 
 If a Redemption Date is on or after a
Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall
be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer. 
 SECTION 5.7. Notes Redeemed in Part.
Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 (with, if the Issuer so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

SECTION 5.8. Offer to Repurchase. In the event that, pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.20, the Issuer is required to
commence an offer to all Holders to purchase the Notes (an “Offer to Repurchase”), it shall follow the procedures specified below. 
 (a) The Offer to Repurchase shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required
by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply all Excess Proceeds or Proceeds Amount, as applicable
(the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes, other First Lien Obligations and such other Pari Passu Debt, if any, (in each instance, on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Offer to Repurchase. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made pursuant to Section 3.1. 

  
 -83-

  
 (b) If the Purchase
Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business
on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase. 
 (c) Upon the commencement of an Offer to Repurchase, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all
instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Offer to Repurchase, shall state: 

(i) that the Offer to Repurchase is being made pursuant to this Section 5.8 and Section 3.7 or
3.20, as applicable, and the length of time the Offer to Repurchase shall remain open; 
 (ii) the Offer
Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 
 (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment
shall continue to accrue interest; 
 (iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note
accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 

(v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Offer to Repurchase may elect to have Notes purchased in
a minimum amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof only; 
 (vi) that Holders
electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Offer to Repurchase shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer,
to the Issuer, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
 (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than on the expiration of the Offer Period, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

 (viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes, other First Lien Obligations and, if applicable,
other Pari Passu Debt, if any, surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes, and the representative(s) for the holders of other First Lien Obligations and, if applicable, other Pari Passu Debt shall
select such other First Lien Obligations and Pari Passu Debt to be purchased or prepaid, on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes, other First Lien Obligations and other Pari Passu Debt, if any, surrendered (with such adjustments
as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and 

(ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 

  
 -84-

  
 (d) On or before the
Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase, or if less than the Offer Amount has
been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer
in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.8. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering
Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, shall authenticate and
mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to
the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Offer to Repurchase on the Purchase Date.

whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default; 
 (1) is
caused by a failure to pay principal at the final Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or 
 (2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; 

  
 -85-

  
 and, in each case, the

Subsidiary, the failure by the Issuer or such Significant Subsidiary, as applicable, to pay such judgment or decree, which judgment or decree has remained outstanding for a period of 60 days after such judgment or decree became final and
nonappealable without being paid, discharged, waived or stayed; 
 (vii) except as permitted by this Indenture,
any Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary is declared to be unenforceable or invalid by any final and nonappealable judgment or decree or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor or any Person acting on behalf of any
Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations in writing under its Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice specified in this Indenture; 

(viii) Holdings, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

and the Intercreditor Agreement, or 
 (2) any security interest created thereunder or under this Indenture is
declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 The foregoing shall constitute Event of Default whatever the reason
for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for
the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(a)(viii) or (ix) above with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee to declare the principal of, premium and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon
such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be due and payable immediately. In the case of an Event of Default arising from Section 6.1(a)(viii) or (ix) above with respect to Holdings, the Issuer
or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice on the part of the Trustee or the Holders. 

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to
collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture (including sums owed to the Trustee and Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel), the Guarantees, Security
Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes
or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in
the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
 SECTION 6.4.
Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) by written notice to
the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences (except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on a Note) and rescind any acceleration
with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of,
premium or interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. 

  
 -87-

  
 SECTION 6.5.
Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Noteholders or that would involve the
Trustee in personal liability unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under
no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any holders of Notes unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or
expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

(i) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(ii) holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to
pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days
after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (v) holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on
the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder. 
 SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(i) or
(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent
lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.6. 
 SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The
Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable

  
 -88-

 
regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders (pursuant to the written direction of holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes) in any election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.6. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or 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 such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the Trustee shall pay out any money or property received by it, whether pursuant to the
foreclosure or other remedial provisions contained in the Security Documents or otherwise, in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee and Collateral Agent for amounts due to each of them under Section 7.6 and under the Security Documents; 

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee receives any amount for any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a
notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on its part, each may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent
shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be (but need not confirm
or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee shall not be

 -90-

  
 (f) No provision of
this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. 
 (g) Every provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 (h) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall 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 shall have offered to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, security, prefunding or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities
that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or any other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee
and the Collateral Agent need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee or the

an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may act through its
attorneys, custodians, nominees and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of or for the supervision of any agent, custodians, nominees or attorney appointed with due care. 

(d) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith (in the case of
the Trustee) which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence or that the Collateral Agent’s conduct
constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (e) Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel
of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement shall be full and
complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement in good faith and in accordance with
the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (f) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation
into any statement, warranty or representation, or the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document made or in connection with
this Indenture, any other Security Document or the Intercreditor 

  
 -91-

 
Agreement; moreover, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into (i) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth herein, in any other Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) the occurrence of any default, or the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Indenture, any other Security
Document, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, (iii) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (iv) the value or the sufficiency of any
Collateral, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Security Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent or (vi) the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, in its discretion,
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability with
respect to any action or inaction taken by or with respect to any Sub-Collateral Agent (as defined in the Security Agreement). 

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which
a Trust Officer shall have (x) received written notification at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture or (y) obtained “actual knowledge.” “Actual
knowledge” shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Trust Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto. 
 (h) In no event shall the Trustee or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of
profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee or the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee
in each of its capacities hereunder, the Collateral Agent, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder and under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(j) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may request that the Issuer 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. 
 (k) Neither the Trustee nor
the Collateral Agent shall have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to
the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, re-filing or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other
governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Collateral. 
 (l) The right of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture, any other Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty. 

  
 -92-

  
 (m) The Collateral
Agent shall have no duty to act, consent or request any action of the Grantors or any other Person in connection with this Indenture, any other Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written
direction from the Trustee, acting on behalf of the applicable Noteholders. 
 (n) The Trustee and the Holders each hereby
designate and appoint Wilmington Trust FSB to act as the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, any other Security Document to which it is a party and the Intercreditor Agreement, and hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its
behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, any other Security Document and the Intercreditor Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, any
other Security Document and the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (o) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall each be authorized
to, but shall not be responsible for, filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting any security interest in the Collateral. It is
expressly agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) monitoring the perfection, continuation of perfection or the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in
or related to the Collateral, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral or (iii) taking any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral. 

(p) The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, any other Security
Document and the Intercreditor Agreement (i) if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, in good faith (which may be based on the advice or opinion of counsel), be contrary to applicable law, this Indenture, any
other Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) if such action is not provided for in this Indenture, any other Security Document and the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) if, in connection with the taking of any such action
hereunder, under any other Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement that would constitute an exercise of remedies, it shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Trustee and/or Holders against any and all risk of nonpayment,
liability and expense that may be incurred by it, its agents or its counsel by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, or (iv) if the Collateral Agent would be required to make payments on behalf of the Issuer, Holders or the
Grantors, in any case pursuant to its obligations as Collateral Agent hereunder, it does not first receive from the Trustee, the Holders, the Issuer or the Grantors sufficient funds for such payment. 

(q) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action under this Indenture, any other Security Document or the Intercreditor
Agreement or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax, or (ii) would require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified; provided however, that in any such event, the Collateral Agent shall provide the Issuer with prior written notice of such event and shall confer in good faith with the Issuer in order to find a
reasonable solution, including, without limitation, hiring a sub-agent to perform such action. 
 (r) Each Holder, by its
acceptance of a Note hereunder, represents to each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or any other Person, and based on such documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Issuer and the Guarantors. Each Holder also represents that each will,
independently and without reliance upon the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or any other Person, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to

  
 -93-

 
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Indenture, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Issuer and the Guarantors. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Holders by the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent hereunder, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Holder with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Issuer and Guarantors which may come into the possession of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact. 

(s) Neither the Collateral Agent nor its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Issuer, the Holders or any other Person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s, the Trustee’s and the Holders’ interests in the Collateral and shall
not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Holders for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee and Collateral Agent. Subject to the TIA each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in
its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Collateral Agent,
respectively. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.9. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with
the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to
continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign. 
 SECTION 7.4. Disclaimer. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s
use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication or for the use or application of any funds received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 

SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing of which a Trust Officer shall have received written
notification at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or obtained actual knowledge of, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, notice of the Default within 90 days after the Trustee obtains such notice or
actual knowledge. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of Trust Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 
 SECTION 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay
to each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for their services as the parties 

  
 -94-

 
shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse each of the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of
preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s
agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Collateral Agent, any predecessor Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including Paying Agent, and Registrar), and each
of their officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this
trust and the performance of their duties hereunder and under the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.6),
the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or otherwise). The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall notify the Issuer
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Agent and the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Collateral Agent and
the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by (i) the Trustee as a
result of its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith or (ii) the Collateral Agent as a result of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. 
 To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other
than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The right of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.6 shall not be subordinate to any
other liability or indebtedness of the Issuer. 
 The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section and any lien
arising hereunder shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or Collateral Agent. When the Trustee or Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in
Section 6.1(a)(vii) or (viii) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Pursuant to Section 10.1, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. 

SECTION 7.7. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee or Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9; 

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 -95-

  
 If the Trustee or
Collateral Agent resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Trustee or Collateral Agent for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable. 

A successor Trustee or Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent
and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Trustee or Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee or Collateral Agent
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee or Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Collateral Agent to the
successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6. All costs reasonably incurred in connection with any resignation or removal hereunder shall be borne by the Issuer. 

If a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent resigns or
is removed, the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Collateral Agent. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is
stayed, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee or Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.8. Successor Trustee or Successor Collateral Agent by Merger. If the Trustee or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable. 
 In case at the time
such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt
the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in
the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the
Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 7.9. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent filed annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a
Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 

  
 -96-

  
 SECTION 7.10.
Limitation on Duty of Trustee and Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification. 
 (a) Beyond the exercise
of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in their possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to
preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for monitoring or filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or
instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody of the Collateral in their possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which they accord similar property held for the benefit of third parties and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or
diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in good faith. 

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
the terms of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement by the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any other Person. 
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee
who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 7.12.
Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. Within 60 days after each May 1, beginning with May 1, 2011, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA
§ 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee shall
also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which any Notes are listed. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when any Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any
delisting thereof.

 (a) Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture and the Security Documents and related Liens
will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder, when: 
 (i) either:

 (1) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or
paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

  
 -97-

  
 (2) all
Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Guarantor has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable
Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and
Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
 (ii) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound; 
 (iii) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture including without limitation, any accrued and unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent (and their respective agents and counsels); and 
 (iv) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable
instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
sub-clause (2) of clause (i) of this Section 8.1(a), the provisions of Sections 12.3 and 8.4 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 8.1(a) shall be deemed to discharge any provisions of
this Indenture, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (b) Legal Defeasance.
The Issuer may at any time, subjection to Section 8.2, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Guarantees

(ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes,
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 
 (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and Collateral Agent, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 

  
 -98-

  
 (iv)
this Article VIII. 
 Upon the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes shall not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default. The Issuer may exercise the Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of the Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 8.1(c). 
 (c) Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may at its option and at any time, subject to Section 8.2, elect to have the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors released (“Covenant
Defeasance”) from the Security Documents (whereupon the Collateral shall be automatically released) and Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11,
3.12, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, 3.18, 3.19, 3.20, 3.21 and 4.1(a)(iv), (v), (vii) and (viii) and (b)(iv) of this Indenture and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants
will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, Section 6.1(a)(iii) (only with respect to Section 4.1(a)(iv), (v), (vii) and
(viii) and (b)(iv) only), Sections 6.1(a)(viii) through (ix) (to the extent relating to a Significant Subsidiary) and Sections 6.1(a)(v), (vi), (vii), (x) and
(xi) will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. 
 SECTION 8.2. Conditions to
Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only if: 

(i) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, cash in
U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest), in the opinion of a
nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on
the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular Redemption Date; 

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

 (iv) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, any material agreement (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement) or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is
bound; 

  
 -99-

  
 (v) the
Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and 
 (vi) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Notes at a future date in
accordance with Article V. 
 SECTION 8.3. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or
U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes. 
 SECTION 8.4. Repayment to Issuer. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Company Order any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable,
provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate any U.S. Government Obligations in order to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.4. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the
Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors. 
 SECTION 8.5. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S.
Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.6.
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Security Documents shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII;
provided, however, that, if the Issuer or the Guarantors has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE IX 

Amendments 
 SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.2 hereof, this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended by the
Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent without notice to or consent of any Holder: 
 (i)
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 
 (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in

 -101-

 
of the holders of 75% in principal amount of the Notes outstanding, release all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement

 (i) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the optional redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.1 (other than

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

 (ix) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions; or 
 (x) after the obligation to make an Asset Sale Offer, Intercompany Loan Refinancing Offer or Change of Control Offer, as applicable, arises, amend, change or modify the obligations of the Issuer to make

modifying any definition relating thereto. 
 (b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (c) After an amendment under this Indenture, the Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The
failure to give such notice to all Holders of the Notes, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2. 

  
 -102-

  
 SECTION 9.3. Effect
of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if
notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 9.2(a), in which
case the amendment or waiver or other action shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Notes. An amendment or waiver made pursuant to
Section 9.2 shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents. 
 The
Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a
record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to take any such
action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 
 SECTION 9.4. Notation on or Exchange of
Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note
shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
 SECTION 9.5. Trustee and Collateral Agent To Sign Amendments. The
Trustee and Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not, in the sole determination of the Trustee or Collateral Agent, adversely affect
the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or Collateral Agent. If it does, the Trustee or Collateral Agent may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article IX, the Trustee or
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is
authorized or permitted by or complies with this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, that all conditions precedent to such amendment required by this Indenture have been complied with and that such amendment,
supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required for
the Trustee or Collateral Agent to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture. 

SECTION 9.6. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture and the Notes shall be set forth in an amended
or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

 ARTICLE X 

Guarantees 
 SECTION 10.1. Guarantees. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of this
Article X, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the
Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the
Notes (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for
post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.6) and the Security Documents (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”).
Each Guarantor agrees (to the extent lawful) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any Guarantor Obligation. 
 (b) Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) presentation to, demand
of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also waives (to the extent lawful) notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) notice of any default under the Notes or the
Guarantor Obligations. 
 (c) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when
due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations. 
 (d) Except as set forth in Section 10.2 and Article VIII, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for
any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not (to the extent lawful) be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not (to the extent
lawful) be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security
Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes,
the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Collateral Agent for the Guarantor Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise
any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Issuer; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or
omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor
Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee in compliance with Section 4.1, Section 10.2 and Article VIII. Each Guarantor further agrees that its

  
 -104-

 
Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the
Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 
 (f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of
the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to
be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor
Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Issuer
or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding). 
 (g) Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of
its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such
Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 
 (h) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders in enforcing any
rights under this Section. 
 (i) Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to
reflect any Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof and any such notation shall not be a condition to the validity of any Guarantee. 
 SECTION 10.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. 

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall
be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary
Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

(b) A Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and each
Subsidiary Guarantor and its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture shall be released and discharged: 
 (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or
after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of this Indenture; 

  
 -105-

  
 (2) in
connection with any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Guarantor after which the Guarantor whose Capital Stock is sold
or otherwise disposed of is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (3) if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

(4) upon payment in full, legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant
to Section 8.1; or 
 (5) upon such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary in a
transaction not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Guarantee, any of its
Subsidiaries that are Guarantors will be released from their Guarantors, if any, and it and any of its Subsidiaries will be released from their obligations under the Security Documents. 

(d) In the case of this Section 10.2(b), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 (e) The release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not preclude the
future applications of Section 3.11 to such Person. 
 SECTION 10.3. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to
seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. 

SECTION 10.4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be
entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders
by the Issuer on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such
Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guarantor Obligations. 

  
 -106-

  
 SECTION 10.5.
Limitations on Merger. A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than
the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, unless: 
 (1) the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary
Guarantor) acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person (if other than the Issuer of a Subsidiary Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its
Guarantee, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture and other agreements to effectuate such assumption; or 

(2) such transaction does not violate the provisions of this Indenture and the Net Proceeds of such sale or other
disposition are applied in accordance with Section 3.7; and 
 (3) immediately after such
transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 
 ARTICLE XI 

Collateral and Security 
 SECTION 11.1. The Collateral.

(b) The Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral for the benefit of all of
the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the
Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (c) Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes and the Guarantees
thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure) and the Intercreditor Agreement, as the same may be in effect or as may be amended from time to time in
accordance with its terms. 
 (d) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Guarantees thereof, acknowledges
that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders and the Trustee, and that the Lien of this Indenture

  
 -107-

 
and the Security Documents in respect of the Trustee and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and actions
that may be taken thereunder. The Issuer shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, and each Guarantor shall, make all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to financing statements that may be necessary to continue the
effectiveness of such financing statements) or recordings and take all other actions as are necessary or required by the Security Documents to maintain (at the sole cost and expense of the Company and its Subsidiaries) the security interest created
by the Security Documents in the Collateral (other than with respect to any Collateral the security interest in which is not required to be perfected under the Security Documents) as a perfected first priority security interest subject only to
Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 11.2. [Reserved]. 
 SECTION 11.3. Release of Liens on the Collateral. 
 (a) The Liens on the
Collateral shall automatically and without any need for any further action by any Person be released: 
 (i) in
whole or in part, as applicable, as to all or any portion of property subject to such Liens which has been taken by eminent domain, condemnation or other similar circumstances; 

(ii) in whole upon: 
 (1) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth in Section 8.1(a); or 
 (2) a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture as set forth in Section 8.1(b) and (c); 
 (iii) in part, as to any property that (a) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or another Guarantor) in a transaction not prohibited
by this Indenture at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition or (b) is owned or at any time acquired by a Guarantor that has been released from its Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture, concurrently with the release of such

provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

Trustee and each of the Holders each acknowledge that a release of Collateral or a Lien in accordance with the terms of any Collateral Document and this Article XI shall not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the Lien on the
Collateral in contravention of the terms of this Indenture. 

  
 -108-

  
 (c) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, as and when requested by the Issuer or any Guarantor in writing, the Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to authorize the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statement amendments or releases
(which shall be prepared by the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall be attached to such request as an exhibit) solely to the extent necessary to delete or release Liens on property or assets not required to be subject to a Lien under the
Security Documents from the description of assets in any previously filed financing statements. If requested in writing by the Issuer or any Guarantor, the Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to execute such documents, instruments or
statements reasonably requested of it (which shall be prepared by the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall be attached to such request as an exhibit) and to take such other action as the Issuer may request to evidence or confirm that such
property or assets not required to be subject to a Lien under the Security Documents described in the immediately preceding sentence has been released from the Liens of each of the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver
such documents, instruments and statements promptly upon receipt of such instructions from the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee. 
 (d) In no event shall the Trustee or Collateral Agent be obligated to execute or deliver any document evidencing any release or reconveyance without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’
Certificate, each stating that such release complies with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, and conforming to the requirements of Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 hereof. To the extent
applicable, the Issuer shall cause TIA § 313(b), relating to reports, and TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities from the lien and security interest of this Indenture and relating to the substitution
therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the lien and security interest of this Indenture, to be complied with. 
 SECTION 11.4. Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent Under the Security Documents. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other provisions of this Indenture, each of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may take all actions it deems
necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of its rights or any of the rights of the Holders under the Security Documents and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, collect and receive any and
all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and thereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee or
the Collateral Agent shall have the power (but not the obligation) to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the
Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral
(including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of,
or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee). 
 (b) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens
in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission 

  
 -109-

 
to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or
for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or refiling any
financing statement, continuation statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the
Security Documents or otherwise. 
 (c) Where any provision of the Security Documents requires that additional property or
assets be added to the Collateral, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors to, take any and all actions reasonably required to cause such additional property or assets to be added to the Collateral and to create and
maintain a valid and enforceable perfected first-priority security interest on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing any Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness in such property or assets (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Holders, in each case in accordance with and to the extent required under the Security Documents. 

(d) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, in taking any action under the Security Documents, shall be entitled to receive, if requested,
as a condition to take any action, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action does not violate this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent
shall be fully protected relying thereon. 
 (e) In acting under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Trustee and Collateral Agent shall have all the protections, rights, indemnities and immunities given to them under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 11.5. Recording, Registration and Opinions. 
 (a) The Issuer shall
comply with the provisions of TIA Sections 314(b) and 314(d), in each case following qualification of this Indenture pursuant to the TIA, except to the extent that it determines, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that such actions are not
required, as set forth in any SEC regulation or interpretation or guidance (including any no-action letter or exemptive order issued by the Staff of the SEC, whether issued to the Issuer or any other Person). Following such qualification, to the
extent the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to TIA § 314(b)(2), the Issuer shall furnish such opinion not more than 60 but not less than 30 days prior to each May 1. 

(b) Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 11.3 shall be deemed not to impair the Liens under this Indenture and the
Security Documents in contravention thereof and any person that is required to deliver any certificate or opinion pursuant to Section 314(d) of the TIA shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or
opinion. The Trustee shall accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such certificate or opinion. 
 (c) If any Collateral is released in accordance with this Indenture or any Security Document, the Issuer shall determine whether it has delivered all documentation required by TIA Section 314(d) in
connection with such release.

 The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer. This Note is one of the 8.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 referred
to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 8.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 issued under the Indenture on May 7, 2010 (herein called “Initial Notes”),

its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into agreements that restrict distributions and dividends from Subsidiaries. The Indenture also imposes requirements with respect to the provision of financial information. The Indenture also contains certain
exceptions to the foregoing, and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture.
