Exhibit 10.1
HNI Corporation

Change In Control Employment Agreement

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT is made between HNI Corporation, an Iowa corporation (the "Corporation"), and _____________________________________ (the "Executive"), dated this ______ day of _______________________, 20__.
		
	1.
	Purpose.  The Corporation wishes to attract and retain well-qualified executive and key personnel.  The Corporation and the Executive wish to assure continuity of management in the event of any actual or threatened Change in Control (as defined in Section 3) of the Corporation.  The Agreement is entered into to accomplish these purposes and in consideration for the mutual covenants herein contained.

		
	2.
	Operation of Agreement.  The "effective date of this Agreement" shall be the first date during the "Term of the Agreement" (as defined below) on which a Change in Control occurs.  Subject to the final sentence of this Section 2, this Agreement shall terminate if the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") determines that the Executive is no longer a key executive who should be covered by this Agreement and so notifies the Executive; provided, however, that such a determination shall not be made, and if made shall have no effect, (i) within two years after a Change of Control or (ii) during any period of time when the Corporation has knowledge that any third person has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control until, in the opinion of the Board, the third person has abandoned or terminated his efforts to effect a Change in Control.  The "Term of the Agreement" shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the tenth anniversary of the date hereof.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Executive's employment with the Corporation is terminated prior to the date on which a Change in Control occurs, and it is reasonably demonstrated that such termination (1) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (2) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated during the Protection Period (as defined herein).

		
	3.
	Change in Control.  For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall mean:

		
	(a)
	The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the "Outstanding Corporation Common Stock") or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the

1

election of directors (the "Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities"); provided, however, that (1) for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control:  (A) any acquisition directly from the Corporation that is approved by a majority of the Incumbent Board (as defined below), (B) any acquisition by the Corporation, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any corporation controlled by the Corporation or (D) any acquisition by any Person pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 3 and (2) a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if a Person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Outstanding Corporation Common Stock or the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities as a result of a reduction in the number of shares of Outstanding Corporation Common Stock or Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities pursuant to a transaction or series of transactions that is approved by a majority of the Incumbent Board unless and until such Person thereafter becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Outstanding Corporation Common Stock or Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities representing 1% or more of the then-outstanding Outstanding Corporation Common Stock or Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, other than as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction effected by the Corporation in which all holders of Outstanding Corporation Common Stock or Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities are treated equally; or
		
	(b)
	individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders, or appointment, was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Corporation in which such person is named as a nominee for director without objection to such nomination) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

		
	(c)
	the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (a "Business Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Corporation Common Stock and Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Corporation 

2

or all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Corporation Common Stock and Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding the Corporation, any entity resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or
		
	(d)
	approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, except pursuant to a Business Combination that complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 3.

		
	4.
	Terms of Employment During Protection Period.

		
	(a)
	The Corporation hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ and the Executive, subject to Section 6(c), hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Corporation, for the period commencing on the effective date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the second anniversary of such date or (ii) the date this Agreement otherwise terminates as provided herein (the period commencing on the effective date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier to occur of dates specified in clauses (i) and (ii) is referred to herein as the "Protection Period").

		
	(b)
	During the Protection Period the Executive's position (including titles), authority and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate with those held, exercised and assigned during the 90-day period immediately preceding the effective date of this Agreement.  Such services shall be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement.

		
	(c)
	The Executive agrees that during the Protection Period he shall devote such business time during normal business hours exclusively to the business and affairs of the Corporation and use his best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently the responsibilities assigned to him hereunder, in each case, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to him hereunder, except for (i) services on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees not significantly interfering with the performance of such responsibilities and (ii) periods of vacation and sick leave to which he is entitled.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the Executive's continuing to serve on any boards and committees with which he shall be connected, as a member or otherwise, at the effective date of this Agreement shall not be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive's services to the Corporation.

	5.
	Compensation.

		
	(a)
	Base Salary.  During the Protection Period, the Executive shall receive a base salary ("Base Salary") at a monthly rate at least equal to the highest monthly salary paid to the Executive by the Corporation or any of its affiliated companies within one year prior to the effective date of this Agreement.  During the Protection Period, the Base Salary shall be reviewed at least once each year and shall be increased at any time and from time to time by action of the Board or any committee thereof or any individual having authority to take such action in accordance with the Corporation's regular practices.  Any increase in the Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation of the Corporation hereunder, and after any such increase the Base Salary shall not be reduced.  As used in this Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" means any company controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Corporation.

		
	(b)
	Annual Incentive.  In addition to Base Salary, the Executive shall be awarded for each completed fiscal year during the Protection Period an annual incentive ("Annual Incentive") (either pursuant to the Executive Annual Incentive Plan or any other annual bonus or annual incentive plan or program of the Corporation or otherwise) in cash equal to (i) the higher of: (A) the Annual Incentive actually payable to the Executive for such completed fiscal year, or (B) the highest Annual Incentive actually paid or payable to the Executive in respect of any of the full fiscal years completed during the three fiscal years immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement minus (ii) in the case of any fiscal year in which a Change in Control occurs, any prorated amount previously paid to Executive in respect of the Annual Incentive for such fiscal year (the "Initial Prorated Bonus Payment").  Each such Annual Incentive shall be payable on the last day of February of the year next following the year for which the Annual Incentive is awarded.   

		
	(c)
	Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans.  In addition to the Base Salary and Annual Incentive payable as hereinabove provided, the Executive shall be entitled to participate during the Protection Period in all applicable incentive, savings, pension, supplemental executive retirement and other retirement plans and programs, deferred compensation plans, stock option plans and other equity and long-term incentive plans including, where applicable, the Long-Term Performance Plan, the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the HNI Corporation Profit-Sharing Retirement Plan, on a basis providing him with the opportunity to receive compensation without duplication of the Annual Incentive and benefits equal to those provided by the Corporation and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans and programs as in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the effective date of this Agreement or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to executives with comparable responsibilities.

		
	(d)
	Benefit Plans.  During the Protection Period, the Executive and his spouse, dependents and beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive employee benefits (including, without limitation, all amounts which he or his spouse is or would have been entitled to receive as benefits under all medical, dental, disability, group life, 

4

accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs of the Corporation and its affiliated companies) as in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the effective date of the Agreement, or if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to executives with comparable responsibilities.
		
	(e)
	Expenses.  During the Protection Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Corporation as in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding the effective date of this Agreement or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to executives with comparable responsibilities.

		
	(f)
	Vacation and Fringe Benefits.  During the Protection Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation and fringe benefits in accordance with the policies of the Corporation as in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding the effective date of this Agreement or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to executives with comparable responsibilities.

		
	6.
	Certain Terms Relating to Termination.

		
	(a)
	Disability.  The Corporation may terminate the Executive's employment during the Protection Period, after having established the Executive's Disability, by giving to the Executive written notice of its intention to terminate his employment, and his employment with the Corporation shall terminate effective on the 90th day after receipt of such notice (the "Disability Effective Date") if within 90 days after such receipt the Executive shall fail to return to full-time performance of his duties (and if the Executive's Disability has been established pursuant to the definition of "Disability" set forth below).  For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability or Disabled" means that the Executive satisfies the requirements to receive long-term disability benefits under the Corporation-sponsored group long-term disability plan in which the Executive participates without regard to any waiting periods, or that the Executive has been determined by the Social Security Administration to be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits.

		
	(b)
	Cause.  During the Protection Period, the Corporation may terminate the Executive's employment for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means (i) an act or acts of dishonesty on the Executive's part which are intended to result in his substantial personal enrichment at the expense of the Corporation or (ii) repeated violations by the Executive of his obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Executive's part and which resulted in material injury to the Corporation.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered to constitute "Cause" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Corporation.  Any act, or failure to act, based 

5

upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Corporation or based upon the advice of counsel for the Corporation shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation.  The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
		
	(c)
	Good Reason.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the Protection Period, the Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means:

		
	(i)
	without the express written consent of the Executive, (A) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any substantial respect with the Executive's position, authority or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 4(b) of this Agreement, or (B) any other substantial adverse change in such position (including titles), authority or responsibilities, including, without limitation the removal or failure to elect or maintain the Executive as a director of the Corporation if the Executive shall have been a director of the Corporation immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement, but excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Corporation promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

		
	(ii)
	any failure by the Corporation to comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement, including Section 5 hereof, and which is not remedied by the Corporation promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

		
	(iii)
	the Corporation requiring the Executive to have his principal place of work changed to any location that is in excess of 50 miles from the location thereof immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the Executive's responsibilities;

		
	(iv)
	a purported termination by the Corporation of the Executive's employment otherwise than as permitted by this Agreement, it being understood that any such purported termination shall not be effective for any purpose of this Agreement; or

		
	(v)
	any failure by the Corporation to obtain the assumption and agreement to perform this Agreement by a successor as contemplated by Section 17.

6

		
	(d)
	Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Corporation for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 13.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the termination date is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date of this Agreement (which date shall be not more than 15 days after the giving of such notice).  Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the termination is by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive must give Notice of Termination within 90 days of the existence of Good Reason and the notice must provide the Corporation 30 days to remedy the condition.

		
	(e)
	Date of Termination.  "Date of Termination" means the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or the date specified therein, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Corporation other than for Death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Corporation notifies the Executive of such termination, (ii) if the Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive ceases performing services for the Corporation, (iii) if the Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason, the Date of the Termination will be the last day of the 30 day cure period unless the Corporation waives such period (iv) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. Any dispute between the Corporation and the Executive regarding the Executive’s termination of employment shall not extend the Executive’s Date of Termination and no compensation under this Agreement shall be payable to the Executive other than as set forth in Section 7.

		
	7.
	Obligations of the Corporation upon Termination During the Protection Period.

		
	(a)
	Death.  If the Executive's employment is terminated during the Protection Period by reason of the Executive's death, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives under this Agreement, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested as of the Date of Termination.  Except as otherwise provided in any plan or arrangement in effect on the effective date of the Agreement, all such amounts under this Section 7(a) shall be paid to the Executive's estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.

		
	(b)
	Disability.  If the Executive's employment is terminated during the Protection Period by reason of the Executive's Disability this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested as of the Date of Termination.  Except as otherwise provided in any plan or arrangement in effect on the effective date of the Agreement, all such amounts described in the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in 

7

cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall be paid disability and other benefits from and after the Date of Termination at least equal to those provided in accordance with Section 5(d).
		
	(c)
	Cause; Other than for Good Reason.  If the Executive's employment shall be terminated during the Protection Period for Cause, the Corporation shall pay the Executive his full Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement, except that such termination shall not modify or affect in any way any accrued right of the Executive to any other compensation payable pursuant to Section 5 or to any vested or accrued benefits payable in accordance with such Section.  If the Executive terminates employment during the Protection Period other than for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested as of the Date of Termination.  Except as otherwise provided in any plan or arrangement in effect on the effective date of the Agreement, all such amounts under this Section 7(c) shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty 30 days of the Date of Termination.

		
	(d)
	Good Reason; Other Than for Cause or Disability.

		
	(i)
	Termination Payments.  Subject to Section 9, if during the Protection Period the Corporation shall terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause or Disability, or if the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive the following amounts and provide him with the following benefits:

		
	(A)
	If not theretofore paid, the Executive shall be paid, within 30 days of the Date of Termination, (x) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect on the Date of Termination (or, if greater, the rate required by Section 5(a)), and (y) a lump-sum cash payment equal to (X) the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days elapsed since the beginning of the fiscal year in which the Executive's Date of Termination occurs through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365, and (ii) the average of the Annual Incentive paid to the Executive for the two full fiscal years ended prior to the Date of Termination, minus (Y) the amount of any Initial Prorated Incentive Payment and any other prorated incentive payment payable under the Annual Incentive Plan for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs.

		
	(B)
	Within 30 days of the Date of Termination, a lump-sum cash payment equal to [two] [three (only for the Chief Executive Officer)] times the sum of (x) the Executive's annual Base Salary (at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination, or, if greater, the rate 

8

required by Section 5(a)) and (y) the average of the Annual Incentives paid to the Executive for the two full fiscal years ended prior to the Date of Termination.
		
	(C)
	(x) For a period of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination (the "COBRA Period"), the Corporation will arrange to provide the Executive, at no cost to the Executive, with medical and dental benefits substantially similar to those that the Executive was receiving or entitled to receive immediately prior to the Date of Termination  subject to the terms and conditions of such medical and dental plans, including, but not limited to, timely payment of any employee contributions necessary to maintain participation, except that the level of such benefit to be provided to the Executive may be reduced in the event of a corresponding reduction generally applicable to all recipients of or participants in such benefits.  The COBRA Period shall be considered to be the period during which the Executive shall be eligible for continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code, and the Corporation shall reimburse the Executive for the amount of premiums for such continuation coverage; provided, however, that without otherwise limiting the purposes or effect of Section 10, the benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 7(d)(ii)(C)(x) will be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by the Executive from another employer during the COBRA Period following the Executive's Date of Termination, and any such benefits actually received by the Executive shall be reported by the Executive to the Corporation.

(y)  Within thirty (30) days of the date of termination, the Executive will also be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the present value of the cost of health and dental coverage for an additional six (6) months, provided that if the payment described in this Section 7(d)(ii)(C)(y) is subject to tax, the Corporation will pay to the Executive an additional amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes so imposed on such benefits and on such payments, the Executive retains an amount equal to such taxes and (ii) an additional lump sum payment equal to the Corporation's reasonable determination of the value of two (2) years of continued participation in the Corporation's accidental death and travel accident insurance plan and the Corporation's disability plans.
(z)  For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination (the "Continuation Period"), the Corporation will arrange to provide the Executive with group life insurance benefits substantially similar to those that the Executive was receiving or entitled to receive immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or, if greater, immediately prior to the reduction, termination, or denial described in Section 6(c)(ii)), except that the level of such benefit to be provided to the Executive 

9

may be reduced in the event of a corresponding reduction generally applicable to all recipients of or participants in such benefits.  Without otherwise limiting the purposes or effect of Section 10, benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 7(d)(ii)(C)(z) will be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by the Executive from another employer during the Continuation Period following the Executive's Date of Termination, and any such benefits actually received by the Executive shall be reported by the Executive to the Corporation.
		
	(D)
	The Executive shall be considered fully vested in any compensation or benefit amounts accrued, accruable or payable by the Corporation to the Executive under any Corporation sponsored compensation or benefit plan, whether qualified or unqualified, including but not limited to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, the Annual Incentive Plan, the Long-Term Performance Plans and such other plans as may have been in effect for the Executive immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement and/or his Date of Termination.

		
	(E)
	If, despite the provisions of Sections 7(d)(i)(C) and 7(d)(i)(D) above, benefits or service credits under any such employee benefit plan cannot be payable or provided under any such plan to the Executive, or his dependents, beneficiaries and estate, because he is no longer an employee of the Corporation, the Corporation itself shall, to the extent necessary, pay or provide for payment of such benefits and service credits for such benefits to the Executive, his dependents, beneficiaries and estate along with, in the case of any benefit described herein that is subject to tax because it is not or cannot be paid under any such plan.  Both the benefit payment and the additional payment shall be made in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination in an amount such that after payment by the Executive or the Executive's dependents or beneficiaries, as the case may be, of all taxes so imposed, the recipient retains an amount equal to such taxes.

		
	(F)
	Executive shall be entitled to a payment under the Long-Term Performance Plan, at the times and otherwise as provided in such plan, as if Executive had terminated his employment with the Corporation due to retirement.  Any such payment shall be reduced for amounts, if any, paid to Executive under such Plan prior to termination of employment on account of any change in control (as defined in such Plan).

		
	(ii)
	Certain Adjustments to Executive’s Compensation.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,  in the event that this Agreement becomes operative and (i) it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the Corporation or any of its 

10

affiliates to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option, performance share, performance unit, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a "Payment"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (or any successor provision thereto) by reason of being considered "contingent on a change in ownership or control" of the Corporation, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such tax (such tax or  taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, being hereafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided under this Agreement will be reduced (or repaid to the Corporation, if previously paid or provided) to the minimum extent necessary so that no portion of any payment or benefit to the Executive, as so reduced or repaid, constitutes an "excess parachute payment" but only if such reduction results in a payment to the Executive that is greater than the net payment the Executive would receive if the Executive received all payment under this Agreement and paid the Excise Tax.  For purposes of this subsection, the terms "excess parachute payment," "present value," "parachute payment," and "base amount" will have the meanings assigned to them by Section 280G of the Code.  The determination of whether any reduction in or repayment of such payments or benefits to be provided under this Agreement is required pursuant to this subsection will be made at the expense of the Corporation, if requested by the Executive or the Corporation, by the Accounting Firm.  Appropriate adjustments will be made to amounts previously paid to Executive, or to amounts not paid pursuant to this subsection, as the case may be, to reflect properly a subsequent determination that the Executive owes more or less Excise Tax than the amount previously determined to be due.  In the event that any payment or benefit intended to be provided under this Agreement or otherwise is required to be reduced or repaid pursuant to this subsection, the Executive will be entitled to designate the payments and/or benefits to be so reduced or repaid in order to give effect to this subsection.  The Corporation will provide the Executive with all information reasonably requested by the Executive to permit the Executive to make such designation.  In the event that the Executive fails to make such designation within 10 business days prior to the Termination Date or other due date, the Corporation may effect such reduction or repayment in any manner it deems appropriate.
As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Agreement Payments will have been made by the Corporation which should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Agreement Payments which will have not been made by the Corporation could 

11

have been made ("Underpayment)," in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder.

In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall, to the extent permitted by law, be repaid by the Executive to the Corporation together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Executive to the Corporation (or if paid by the Executive to the Corporation shall be returned to the Executive) if and to the extent such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code.  In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Corporation to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(d)(ii), in no event will any Underpayment hereunder be made after the later of (x) the last day of the Executive's taxable year next following the year in which the taxes that are the subject of the audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority, or (y) if no taxes are to be remitted, the last day of the Executive's taxable year next following the year in which the audit or litigation is completed. 

		
	8.
	Confidentiality and Noncompetition.  The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Corporation all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Corporation or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during his employment by the Corporation or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be public knowledge.  After termination of the Executive's employment with the Corporation he shall not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge, or data to anyone other than the Corporation and those designated by it.  The obligations imposed by this paragraph will not apply if (a) such confidential information has become, through no fault of the Executive, generally known to the public, or (b) the Executive is required by law to make disclosure (after giving the Corporation notice and an opportunity to contest such requirement).

The Executive agrees that in the event that the Executive's employment is terminated such that he has received or is receiving benefits under Section 7(d), he shall not for a period of one year following such termination enter into any relationship whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, alone or in partnership, or as an officer, Director, employee or stockholder (beneficially owning stock or options to acquire stock totaling more than five percent of the outstanding shares) of any corporation (other than the Corporation), or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire a significant present or future equity or other proprietorship interest, whether as a stockholder, partner, proprietor or otherwise, with any enterprise, business or division thereof (other than the Corporation), which is engaged in the same business in those states within the United States in which the Corporation is at the time of such termination of employment conducting its business and which has annual sales of at least $10,000,000.

12

In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

		
	9.
	Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement be in full compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent any provision in this Agreement is or will be in violation of Section 409A of the Code, the Agreement shall be amended in such manner as the parties may agree such that the Agreement is or remains in compliance with Section 409A and the intent of the parties is maintained to the maximum extent possible.  In particular, to the extent the Executive becomes entitled to receive payment subject to Section 409A upon an event that does not constitute a permitted distribution event under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code or that would constitute a "deferral of compensation" under Code Section 409A or that would otherwise subject the Executive to tax under Section 409A of the Code, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, payment will be made (or commenced) to the Executive on the earlier of (a) the Executive's "separation from service" with the Corporation (determined in accordance with Section 409A); provided, however, that if the Executive is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A), the Executive's date of payment shall be made on the date which is 6 months after the date of the Executive's separation from service with the Corporation or (b) the Executive's death. Reference to Section 409A of the Code is to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

		
	10.
	No Obligation to Mitigate Damages.  In the event of the termination of the Executive's employment, the Executive shall not be under any obligation to mitigate damages by seeking other employment and no amounts shall be offset against payments due to the Executive hereunder unless specifically provided herein.

		
	11.
	Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Corporation or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under other agreements with the Corporation or any of its affiliated companies.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Corporation or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program.

		
	12.
	Full Settlement.  The Corporation's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including without limitation any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Corporation may have against the Executive or others.  The Corporation agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law, all reasonable legal fees and expenses (determined in accordance with the Corporation’s normal policies for outside legal counsel expenses) of one law firm without conflicts with the Corporation which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Corporation or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof or as a result of any contest by the Executive against 

13

the amount of any deduction pursuant to Section 7(d)(ii) hereof, plus in each case interest, compounded quarterly, on the total unpaid amount determined to be payable under this Agreement, such interest to be calculated on the basis of the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872 of the Code in effect from time to time during the period of such nonpayment.  Such payments of legal fees and expenses (and interest payments relating thereto) will only be made (a) in accordance with this Section 12, (b) the reimbursement is available for a period not to exceed 15 years following a Change in Control, (c) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during the Executive's taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year, (d) the reimbursement is made on or before the last day of the Executive's taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, and (e) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
		
	13.
	Notices.  Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic or facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof orally confirmed) or five business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or three business days after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service such as Fed Ex or UPS, addressed to the Corporation (to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation) at its principal executive office and to the Executive at the Executive's principal residence, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address will be effective only upon receipt.

		
	14.
	Non-Alienation.  The Executive shall not have any right to pledge, hypothecate, anticipate or in any way create a lien upon any amounts provided under this Agreement; and no benefits payable hereunder shall be assignable in anticipation of payment either by voluntary or involuntary acts, or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

		
	15.
	Governing Law.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, without reference to principles of conflicts of laws.

		
	16.
	Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended or cancelled by mutual agreement of the parties in writing without the consent of any other person and, so long as the Executive lives, no person, other than parties hereto, shall have any rights under or interest in this Agreement or the subject matter hereof.

		
	17.
	Successor to the Corporation.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Corporation and its successors.  The Corporation shall require any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock, or otherwise, by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and legatees.

14

		
	18.
	Miscellaneous.

		
	(a)
	In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

		
	(b)
	The Corporation may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

		
	(c)
	This Agreement contains the entire understanding with the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any similar agreement previously entered into between the Corporation and the Executive.

		
	(d)
	The Corporation hereby waives any and all conflicts of interest and attorney-client privilege that would prohibit counsel to the Corporation from representing the Executive in disputes relating to this Agreement.

		
	(e)
	The Executive and the Corporation acknowledge that the employment of the Executive by the Corporation prior to the effective date of this Agreement is "at will," and, prior to such effective date, may be terminated by either the Executive or the Corporation at any time.  Subject to the final sentence of Section 2, upon a termination of the Executive's employment or upon the Executive's ceasing to be an officer of the Corporation, in each case, prior to the Effective Date, there shall be no further rights under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set his hand and, pursuant to the authorization from its Board of Directors the Corporation has caused these presents to be executed in its name on its behalf, and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and attested by its Secretary, all as of the day and year first above written.

 INDENTURE dated as of February 8, 2018 among Berry Petroleum Company, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “Issuer”), Berry Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the other Guarantors (as defined) that may from time to time be party hereto and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, a national banking association, as trustee. 
 The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee agree as follows for the
benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined) of the 7.000% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”): 

ARTICLE 1 
 DEFINITIONS AND
INCORPORATION 
 BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01    Definitions. 

“144A Global Note” means a Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto bearing the Global Note Legend and the
Private Placement Legend and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes initially sold in reliance on Rule
144A. 
 “Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person: 

(1)    Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or
became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and 

(2)    Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 

“Additional Notes” means additional Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued under this Indenture in accordance with
Sections 2.02 and 4.09 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes. 
 “Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets” means (without duplication), as of the date of determination: 
  

	 	(a)	the sum of: 

  

	 	(i)	 the discounted future net revenues from Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries calculated
in accordance with SEC guidelines before any state or federal or foreign income taxes, as estimated in the reserve report prepared either as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year (provided that, prior to the
availability of the reserve report as of December 31, 2017, the reserve report prepared as 

	 	
of November 30, 2017 shall be deemed to be as of the most recently completed fiscal year for purposes of this covenant), or, if such date of determination is within 45 days after the end of
such most recently completed fiscal year and no reserve report as of the end of such fiscal year has at the time been prepared or audited by independent petroleum engineers, the Company’s second preceding fiscal year, or, at the Company’s
option, the most recently completed fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, which reserve report is prepared or audited by independent petroleum engineers as to Proved Reserves accounting for at least 80% of all such discounted
future net revenues and by the Company’s petroleum engineers with respect to any other Proved Reserves covered by such report, as increased by, as of the date of determination, the estimated discounted future net revenues from:

  

	 	(A)	estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries acquired since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, and

  

	 	(B)	estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to extensions, discoveries and other additions and upward revisions of estimates of Proved Reserves (including previously estimated
development costs incurred during the period and the accretion of discount since the prior period end) since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, due to exploration,
development or exploitation, production or other activities which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such revisions, 

and decreased by, as of the date of determination, the discounted future net revenue attributable to: 

 

	 	(C)	estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries reflected in such year-end or quarterly reserve report produced or disposed of since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, and 

  

	 	(D)	reductions in estimated Proved Reserves of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries reflected in such year-end or quarterly reserve report since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report attributable to downward revisions of estimates of Proved Reserves since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as
applicable, due to changes in geological conditions or other factors which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such revisions; 

in the case of the preceding clauses (A) through (D), calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance
with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized 

  
 2 

 
in such Person’s year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable) and estimated by the Company’s petroleum engineers or any independent
petroleum engineers engaged by the Company for that purpose; 
  

	 	(ii)	the capitalized costs that are attributable to oil and gas properties of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to which no Proved Reserves are attributable, based on the Company’s books and records as of a
date no earlier than the last day of the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual period for which internal financial statements are available; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Consolidated Net Working Capital of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of a date no earlier than the last day of the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual period for which internal financial
statements are available; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the greater of: 

  

	 	(A)	the net book value and 

  

	 	(B)	the appraised value, as estimated by independent appraisers, of other tangible assets (including Investments in unconsolidated Subsidiaries), 

in each case, of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of a date no earlier than the last day of the date of the Company’s most
recent quarterly or annual period for which internal financial statements are available; provided that if no such appraisal has been performed, the Company shall not be required to obtain such an appraisal and only clause (a)(iv)(A) of this
definition shall apply, 
 minus, to the extent not otherwise taken into account in this clause (a), 

 

	 	(b)	the sum of: 

  

	 	(i)	minority interests, 

  

	 	(ii)	any net gas balancing liabilities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the last day of the Company’s most recent annual or quarterly period for which internal financial statements are available;

  

	 	(iii)	to the extent included in clause (a)(i) above, the discounted future net revenues, calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices and costs
utilized in the applicable reserve report described in clause (a)(i)), attributable to reserves that are required to be delivered to third parties to fully satisfy the obligations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to
Volumetric Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect thereto, and 

  
 3 

	 	(iv)	the discounted future net revenues, calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance with SEC guidelines, attributable to reserves subject to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments
that, based on the estimates of production, price and cost assumptions included in determining the discounted future net revenues specified in (a)(i) above, would be necessary to fully satisfy the payment obligations of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect thereto. 

If the Company changes its method of accounting from the successful efforts method to the full cost method or a similar method of accounting,
“Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” will continue to be calculated as if the Company were still using the successful efforts method of accounting.

THE NOTES 

Section 2.01    Form and Dating. 

(a)    General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this
Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. 
 (b)    Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the
Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it
represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to
reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the
direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. 

(c)    Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued initially in the
form of one or more Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the
nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period will terminate upon the
delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of a written certificate from the Depositary as to the expiration of the Restricted Period, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received

  
 35 

 
certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the
extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A
Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(f) hereof). 
 Following the termination of the
Restricted Period, the Issuer shall instruct, which instructions shall be in writing and comply with Rule 9.03(b)(3)(ii)(B) of Regulation S, the Trustee to, and upon such instructions, the Trustee shall, exchange beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the exchange of such beneficial interests and in accordance with Section 2.06(g),
the Trustee will (i) reduce and endorse the Regulation S Temporary Global Note accordingly and (ii) increase and endorse the Regulation S Permanent Global Note accordingly. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary
Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest
as hereinafter provided. 
 (d)    Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the
“Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream

Section 2.02    Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronically transmitted signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an
Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any
time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may
authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may 

  
 36 

 
do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an
Affiliate of the Company. 
 Section 2.03    Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The
Company has entered into a letter of representations with DTC in the form provided by DTC, and the Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures. 

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent (at its office indicated in the definition of Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee in Section 1.01 hereof) and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Company shall be
responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes and this Indenture, including but not limited to determination of interest, additional interest, redemption price, Applicable Premium, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on
the Notes. The Company will make the calculations in good faith, and absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the
Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder of the Notes upon written request
of such Holder. 
 Section 2.04    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit
of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any
such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by
it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company or the Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

  
 37 

 Section 2.05    Holder Lists. 

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 2.06    Transfer and Exchange. 

(a)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes for Definitive Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if (and, unless the Issuer so agrees, only if): 

(1)    the Depositary (A) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; 

(2)    the Issuer, at its option but subject to the Depositary’s requirements, notifies the Trustee in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Definitive Notes; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Notes be exchanged for Definitive Notes prior to (a) the expiration of the Restricted Period and
(b) the receipt of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or 

(3)    there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and the Depositary notifies the Trustee of
its decision to exchange such Global Note for Definitive Notes. 
 Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or
(3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated
and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged
for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); however, subject to the foregoing, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (d) hereof. In
connection with any proposed transfer of Definitive Notes in exchange for Global Notes, the Company or DTC shall be required to provide or cause to be 

  
 38 

 
provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations
under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 

(b)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer

provided in Section 2.01(c), transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as
applicable: 
 (1)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial
interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement
Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person
(other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions
shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1). 

(2)    All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with
all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either: 

(A)    both: 

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

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

  
 39

with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(ii)    instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person
in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above. 

provided that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act. 

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or

(3)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in
any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the
Registrar receives the following: 
 (A)    if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.04 hereof). 

  
 49 

 (3)    All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon
any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits hereunder, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon
such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (4)    Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be
required: 
 (A)    to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B)    to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C)    to register the transfer
of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 

(5)    Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and
the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any

to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of optional redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. Neither the

Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

  
 50 

 Section 2.07    Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is
sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing
a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08    Outstanding
Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in
Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for
purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any
Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying
Agent (other than the Company, the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on a redemption date or other maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date
such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09    Treasury Notes. 

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

  
 51 

 Section 2.10    Temporary Notes. 

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

Section 2.11    Cancellation. 

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes in
accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.12    Defaulted Interest. 

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date (except that a special record date shall not be required with respect to payments made within an applicable grace period), in each
case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer will fix or
cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record
date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will send or cause to be sent, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, to Holders a notice that states the special record
date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.13    Computation of
Interest. 
 Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 Section 2.14    CUSIP Numbers. 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and if the Issuer does, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or
ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in an offer to purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either

  
 52 

 
as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in an offer to purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or offer to purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION AND
PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01    Notices to Trustee. 

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the
Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the sending of notice of a redemption (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: 

(a)    the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(b)    the redemption date; 

(c)    the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and 

(d)    the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination). 

Section 3.02    Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (or, in
the case of Notes issued in global form pursuant to Article 2 hereof, by lot or by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata
selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed
in part. 
 In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed,
the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

  
 53 

 Section 3.03    Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or send
electronically in accordance with the Applicable Procedures if DTC is the recipient, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed (with a copy to the Trustee), except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days
prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof. 

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP number, if applicable) and will state: 

(a)    the redemption date; 

(b)    the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination); 

(c)    if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that,
after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

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

(f)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases
to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g)    the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (h)    that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (i)    any
conditions precedent to the redemption. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s
name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before the notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this
Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and attaching the notice to be given which shall set forth the information to be
stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

  
 54 

 Notice of any redemption may at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more
conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion of any related Equity Offering. If such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if
applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a
date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was sent), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption,
or by the date of redemption as so delayed. If any such condition has not been satisfied, the Issuer will provide notice to the Trustee no later than the Business Day prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee) that such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the notice of redemption is rescinded or delayed and the redemption subject to the satisfaction of such condition precedent shall not occur or shall be delayed. The Trustee shall
promptly send a copy of such notice to the Holders of the Notes using the same method as the original notice was sent. 

Section 3.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become due and payable (subject to
the satisfaction of any conditions to the redemption as provided in Section 3.03 hereof) on the redemption date at the redemption price. 

Section 3.05    Deposit of Redemption. 

No later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the
Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If
the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record
date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date and in accordance with
Applicable Procedures. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the
redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 

Section 3.06    Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer will issue (or cause to be transferred by book entry) and, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 

  
 55 

 Section 3.07    Optional Redemption. 

(a)    At any time prior to February 15, 2021, the Issuer may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 107.000% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date
of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, provided
that: 
 (1)    at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this
Indenture on the date of this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

(2)    the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(b)    At any time prior to February 15, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of
the Notes, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to: 
 (1)    100% of
the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus 
 (2)    the Applicable Premium, 

and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant interest payment date). 
 (c)    Except pursuant to Section 3.07(a), (b) or (e) hereof or
Section 4.15(e) hereof, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to February 15, 2021. The Issuer will not be, however, prohibited from acquiring the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a
tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise. 
 (d)    On or after February 15, 2021, the Issuer may on any one
or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed,
to the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant
interest payment date: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2021
	  	 	105.250	% 
	 2022
	  	 	103.500	% 
	 2023
	  	 	101.750	% 
	 2024 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

  
 56 

 Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (e)    The Issuer
may redeem all (but not a portion of) the Notes when permitted by, and pursuant to the conditions in, Section 4.15(e) hereof. 

(f)    Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through
3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.08    Mandatory Redemption. 

The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

Section 3.09    Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders to purchase
Notes, it will follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open
for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days
after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro
rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset
Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 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, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no
additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Issuer will send, by first class mail, or send electronically in accordance with the Applicable Procedures if DTC is the recipient, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and
materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 

(a)    that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the
length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open; 

  
 57 

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

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

(d)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date; 
 (e)    that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in minimum denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

(f)    that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to comply with
Applicable Procedures, or for Definitive Notes 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; 

(g)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election pursuant to Applicable Procedures, or for Definitive Notes
if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, electronic image scan, 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; 

(h)    that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount allocated
to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note shall be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor
may require, unless otherwise required by law) based on the principal amount of Notes surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 
 (i)    that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be
issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary,
the Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer and required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof, or if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than the Offer Amount allocated
to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer have been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or
portions thereof were accepted for payment by the 

  
 58 

 
Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuer, the depositary for the Asset Sale Offer or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will 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 will promptly issue a new Note,
and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any
Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer or the Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. 

ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 

Section 4.01    Payment of Notes. 

The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in the
manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Company, holds as of 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date
money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due. 

Section 4.02    Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Issuer will maintain in the United States of America (which office or agency, if Definitive Notes have been issued, shall be in the State
of New York), an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, or for payment at redemption, purchase or maturity, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except with respect to an office or agency in the State of New York for Definitive
Notes. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency as
provided above for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with
Section 2.03 hereof.

 Section 4.03    Reports. 

(a)    So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, or make
available on the website referred to below: 
 (1)    no later than 120 days after December 31,
2018, and not later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year thereafter, (a) audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (with footnotes to such financial statements), including the audit report on such financial

September 30, 2018, and, beginning with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2019, no later than 45 days after the end of each of the first three calendar quarters of each fiscal year, (a) unaudited quarterly financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP (with condensed footnotes to such financial statements consistent with past practice), and (b) a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” consistent
with the presentation thereof in the Offering Memorandum (but omitting the discussion included in the “Overview” section); and 

(3)    within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any of the following events, a current report that
contains a brief summary of the material terms, facts and/or circumstances involved to the extent not otherwise publicly disclosed: (a) entry by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary into an agreement outside the ordinary course of business
that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, any material amendment thereto or termination of any such agreement other than in accordance with its terms (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, employee compensatory or
benefit agreements or plans), (b) completion of a merger of the Company or the Issuer with or into another Person or a material acquisition or disposition of assets by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary outside the ordinary course of business,
(c) the institution of, or material development under, bankruptcy proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar proceedings under state or federal law with respect to the Company, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary, or (d) the
Company’s or the Issuer’s incurring Indebtedness outside the ordinary course of business that is material to the Company or the Issuer (other than under a Credit Facility or other arrangement which has been described in the Offering
Memorandum or borrowings under a Credit Facility that has otherwise been disclosed previously), or a triggering event that causes the increase or acceleration of any such obligation and, in any such case, the consequences thereof are material to the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above requirements of Section 4.03(a) may be satisfied by
the filing with the SEC for public availability by any parent company, the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, Annual Report on Form
10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K, containing the information required by Section 4.03(a) or
any part thereof with respect to the Company or such 

  
 60 

 
parent, as applicable, provided that any such financial information of such parent contains information reasonably sufficient to identify the material differences, if any, between the financial
information of such parent, on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand. 

(b)    For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the above information provided pursuant to Section 4.03(a) will not be
required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors as contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X or any financial statements of unconsolidated
subsidiaries or 50% or less owned persons as contemplated by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X or any schedules required by Regulation
S-X, or in each case any successor provisions and (ii) such information shall not be required to comply with Regulation G under the Exchange Act or Item 10(e) of Regulation
S-K with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein. At any time that any of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries,
then the annual and quarterly financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of
the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 (c)    Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure
to furnish in a timely manner any financial information required by this covenant shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.03) upon furnishing such financial information as contemplated by
this Section 4.03 (but without regard to the date on which such financial statement or report is so furnished); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under Article 6 hereof if the principal of,
premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. 

(d)    In addition, the Company (or any parent guarantor of the Notes) will hold and participate in conference calls with
the Holders of the Notes, beneficial owners of the Notes, and bona fide prospective investors to discuss the financial information required to be furnished pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) above no later than ten Business Days after distribution
of such financial information, unless, in each case, the Company reasonably determines that to do so would conflict with applicable securities laws, including in connection with any pending offering of securities. The Company shall be permitted to
combine this conference call with any other conference call for other debt or equity holders or lenders. The Company shall, no later than three Business Days prior to the date of the conference calls required to be held in accordance with this
paragraph, announce the date and time of such conference calls and all information necessary to enable Holders of Notes to obtain access to such calls. 

(e)    So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will also maintain a website to which the Holders of Notes and
prospective investors are given access (which may be password protected) and to which all of the reports required by this “Reports” covenant are posted, unless they are otherwise publicly filed with the SEC, and the posting of such reports
to such website shall satisfy the above reporting requirements. 

  
 61 

 (f)    In addition, the Company shall furnish to Holders of Notes,
prospective investors, broker-dealers and securities analysts, upon their request, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities
Act. 
 (g)    Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its
receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other
person’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The delivery of reports to the Trustee may be made by electronic
transmission to the Trustee. Any reports publicly filed with the SEC that are publicly available shall be deemed to be filed with the trustee; provided, however that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such
information, documents or reports have been so filed. 
 (h)    The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or
confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other person’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports, information or other documents posted on a website or
filed with the SEC under this Indenture, or participate in any conference calls. 
 Section 4.04    Compliance
Certificate. 
 (a)    The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an
Officers’ Certificate that need not comply with Section 12.03 stating that a review of the activities of the Company, the Issuer and their Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
Officers with a view to determining whether the Company and the Issuer have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of
his or her knowledge the Company and the Issuer have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions
of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company and the Issuer are taking or propose to take with respect
thereto). 
 (b)    So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days
after any Officer of the Company becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 4.05    Taxes. 

The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental
levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

  
 62 

 Section 4.06    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

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

Section 4.07    Restricted Payments. 

(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

(1)    declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the
Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of
the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and other than dividends or
distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); 
 (2)    repurchase,

(1)    the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within

Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(1)    pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the priority that any series of
Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends, distributions or liquidating distributions before dividends, distributions or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall
not constitute a restriction on the ability to make dividends or distributions on Capital Stock for purposes of this Section 4.08; 

(2)    make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood
that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to other Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans
or advances); or 
 (3)    sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b)    However, the restrictions in Section 4.08(a) hereof will not apply to

encumbrances or restrictions contained in the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not in the good faith judgment of an Officer of the Company materially more restrictive, taken
as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of this Indenture; 

(2)    this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees; 

(3)    agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof and

of the Company, either (a) not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than 

  
 68 

 
those contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees or the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture or (b) not reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on the ability of the Company to make required payments on the Notes; 
 (4)    applicable
law, rule, regulation, permit, license, order or similar restriction; 
 (5)    any instrument governing
Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in
contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, and any amendments,
restatements, modifications, renewals, extensions, supplements, increases, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided, that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals,
extensions, supplements, increases, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of an Officer of the Company, no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those in effect on the date of the acquisition; 

(6)    customary non-assignment provisions in Hydrocarbon purchase
and sale or exchange agreements or similar operational agreements or in licenses, easements or leases, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(7)    purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital
Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.08(a) hereof; 

(8)    any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts
distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 
 (9)    Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are, in the good faith judgment of an Officer of the Company, not materially more restrictive, taken as a
whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; 

(10)    Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof that limit the
right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (11)    provisions limiting the
disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted
Investment) entered into with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; 

  
 69 

 (12)    encumbrances or restrictions on cash or other

anticipation of the Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and any such encumbrance or restriction does not extend to any assets or property of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets and property of
such Unrestricted Subsidiary.

will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary
that is a Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Preferred Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are
available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.25 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis
(including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter
period. 
 (b)    Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness
or issuances of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

 70 

 
liability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greatest of (i) $500.0 million, (ii) the Borrowing Base and (iii) 30.0% of the Company’s
Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such incurrence;

of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace,
defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed the greater of (i) $50.0 million and (ii) 3.0% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such
incurrence; 
 (5)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted

or any Disqualified Stock of the Company, in each case that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) hereof or clause (2), (3), (4), (5), (14) or (15) of this Section 4.09(b); 

(6)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness
between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 

(A)    if the Issuer, the Company or any other Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee
is not the Issuer, the Company or any other Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the Note
Guarantee, in the case of the Company or any other Guarantor; and 
 (B)    (i) any subsequent issuance
or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not
either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, 

  
 71 

 will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6); 

(7)    the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that: 
 (A)    any subsequent
issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and 

(B)    any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Company or
a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, 
 will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted
Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7); 
 (8)    the incurrence by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes; 

(9)    the Guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or
a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated to or
pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness that is Guaranteed; 

(10)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of
workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance, bid, plugging and abandonment, appeal, reimbursement, surety and similar bonds, and completion guarantees provided by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company in the ordinary course of business and any Guarantees or letters of credit functioning as or supporting any of the foregoing bonds or obligations and workers’ compensation claims in the ordinary course of business;

 (11)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising
from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days; 

(12)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of in-kind obligations relating to net oil or natural gas balancing positions arising in the ordinary course of business;

Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn outs, or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition or acquisition of any business,
assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by this Indenture; provided that such obligation is not reflected as a liability on the face of the balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

(14)    any Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness; and 

(15)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness or

Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such incurrence or issuance. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a)
hereof, the Company will be permitted to divide, classify and reclassify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later redivide or reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this
Section 4.09. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture after giving effect to the use of proceeds will initially be deemed to have been incurred on
such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt and may not later be reclassified. 

The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock dividends or distributions, the accretion or amortization of original issue
discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment
of dividends or distributions on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares or units of the same class of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued to the extent required by the definition of such term.

  
 73 

 The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

(a)    the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; 

(b)    the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 

(c)    in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser
of: 
 (1)    the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and 

(2)    the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

Section 4.10    Asset Sales. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 

(a)    the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the
Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(b)    at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
and all other Asset Sales since the date of this Indenture is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(1)    any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation or
indemnity agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary against further liability; 

(2)    with respect to any Asset Sale of oil and natural gas properties by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries where the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary retains an interest in such property, any agreement by the transferee thereof (or any Affiliate thereof) to pay the costs and expenses of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary related to the exploration, development, completion or production of such properties and activities related thereto; 

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

  
 74 

 (4)    any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred
to in clause (2) or (4) of Section 4.10(c) hereof; and 
 (5)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated
Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (5), not to exceed an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (determined at the time of receipt of such
Designated Non-cash Consideration), with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving
effect to subsequent changes in value. 
 (c)    Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, the Company or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply an amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 

(1)    to repay, repurchase or redeem any Senior Debt; 

(2)    to acquire all or substantially all of the assets, or any Capital Stock, of one or more other
Persons primarily engaged in the Oil and Gas Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(3)    to make capital expenditures in respect of the Company’s or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Oil and Gas Business; or 
 (4)    to acquire other assets that are not classified as
current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in the Oil and Gas Business. 
 The requirement of clause (2) or (4) of
Section 4.10(c) hereof shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding contract committing to make the acquisition referred to therein is entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with a Person other than an
Affiliate of the Company within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with such contract within 180 days following the date such agreement is entered into. 

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may use or invest the Net Proceeds in any
manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 The Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in
Section 4.10(c) hereof will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, within ten Business Days thereof (or earlier, at the Issuer’s option), the Issuer will make
an offer in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 3.09 (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) and all holders of 

  
 75 

 
other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 4.10 with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem such
Indebtedness with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase, prepay or redeem, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Notes and
other Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of
the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.
If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to the purchase of Notes, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any
Notes represented by a Note in global form will be selected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of DTC), based on the amounts tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in minimum
denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

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 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 Section 3.09 or this Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this
Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.11    Transactions with Affiliates . 

(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any 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 Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in any single transaction or series of related transactions in excess of $2.0 million, unless: 

(1)    the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant
Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, no
comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and 

  
 76 

 (2)    the Company delivers to the Trustee: 

(A)     with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this Section 4.11; and 

(B)    with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $40.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies
with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company, if any. 

(b)    The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the
provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof: 
 (1)    any employment or consulting agreement, employee
benefit plan, officer or director indemnification, compensation or severance agreement or any similar arrangement with respect to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or
indirect parent of the Company in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto; 

(2)    transactions between or among the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(3)    transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an
Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 

(4)    payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity
arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; 

(5)    any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the
Company; 
 (6)    Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of Section 4.07 hereof and
any Permitted Investment; 
 (7)    transactions effected in accordance with the terms of agreements in
effect on the date of this Indenture, and any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements so long as such amendment or replacement agreement is not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
than the agreement so amended or replaced; 

  
 77 

 (8)    payments to an Affiliate in respect of the Notes
or any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on the same basis as concurrent payments are made or offered to be made in respect thereof to non-Affiliates; 

(9)    loans or advances to or reimbursements of expenses incurred by employees for moving, entertainment
and travel expenses and similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business; 
 (10)    transactions
between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any other Person, a director of which is also on the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, and such common director is the sole cause
for such other Person to be deemed an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect
parent company of the Company, as the case may be, on any transaction with such other Person; 

(11)    in the case of contracts for exploring for, producing, marketing, storing or otherwise handling
Hydrocarbons, or activities or services reasonably related or ancillary thereto, including cogeneration, provision of steam or electric power generation, or other operational contracts, any such contracts entered into in the ordinary course of
business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated
party, in either case in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company or the senior management thereof; and 

(12)    any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be,
delivers to the Trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction
meets the requirements of Section 4.11(a)(1) hereof. 
 Section 4.12    Liens. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien (an
“Initial Lien”) of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired, unless the Notes or any Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as
applicable, are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by the Initial Lien. 

  
 78 

 Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders of Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph
shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien. 

Section 4.13    Business Activities. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than the Oil and Gas Business,
except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

Section 4.14    Organizational Existence. 

Except as permitted by Article 5 and Section 10.04 hereof, the Company and the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect: 
 (a)    its corporate or limited liability company or other existence, and
the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company, the Issuer or any other Restricted
Subsidiary; and 
 (b)    the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and the Issuer and
their Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company and the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their Restricted Subsidiaries
(other than the Issuer), if the senior management of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss
thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 4.15    Offer to
Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 
 (a)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, except as provided in this
Section 4.15, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a
purchase price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the
“Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will
send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating: 

(1)    that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes
tendered will be accepted for payment; 
 (2)    the purchase price and the expiration date of the Change
of Control Offer, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent; 

  
 79 

 (3)    that any Note not tendered will continue to
accrue interest; 
 (4)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5)    that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be
required to comply with Applicable Procedures, or for Definitive Notes to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying
Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election pursuant to Applicable Procedures, or for
Definitive Notes if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, electronic image scan, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name
of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 

(7)    that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes (or transferred
by book entry) equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

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 those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 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 4.15, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such
compliance. 
 (b)    Promptly following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will, to the extent
lawful, accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly after such acceptance, the Issuer will, on the Change of Control Purchase Date: 

(1)    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 
 (2)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee the Notes accepted for payment, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, if all the
Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail 

  
 80 

 
(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 announce to the Holders
of Notes the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Issuer will not be required to make a
Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 and purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable
redemption price, or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Issuer has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher
than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer. 

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made
in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer is made. The closing date of
any such Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control may be changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control; provided that such closing date is not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the
date the Change of Control Offer notice is sent pursuant to Section 4.15(a) hereof. 
 (e)    In the event that
Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer and the Issuer (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer in lieu of the Issuer
as described in paragraph (c) above) purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment, plus, to the extent not included in the
Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is
on or prior to the redemption date). 
 Section 4.16    Additional Note Guarantees. 

If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture that
Guarantees Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under a Credit Facility, then, in either case, that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto and delivering an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 30 days after the date that Subsidiary was acquired or created or on which it guaranteed such Indebtedness. 

  
 81 

 Section 4.17    Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. 
 The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) 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 Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be either (1) an Investment made as of the time of the designation that will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07
hereof or (2) a Permitted Investment under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will 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. 
 Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and
was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. 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 Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the
Company will be in default of such covenant. 
 The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary
to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and
such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period and
(2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. 

Section 4.18    Covenant Suspension. 

If on any date following the date of this Indenture: (a) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s or BBB- or better by S&P (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally
recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency); and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
under this Indenture as of the date of delivery of the Officers’ Certificate referred to below, then, upon delivery by the Company of an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect, and subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.18, Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.17 and Section 5.01(a)(4) of this Indenture will be suspended. 
 During
any period that the foregoing Sections have been suspended (the “Suspension Period”), the Company’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.17 hereof
or the second paragraph of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” 

  
 82 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the ratings assigned to the Notes by both such rating
agencies should subsequently decline to below Baa3 and BBB- from Moody’s and S&P, respectively, the foregoing covenants will be reinstituted as of and from the date both such ratings were below
investment grade (the “Reversion Date”). Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.07 hereof will be made as if Section 4.07 hereof had been in effect since the date of this Indenture except that no Default will be
deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended. Furthermore, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have
been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(2) hereof. In addition, for purposes of Section 4.11 hereof, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Company
during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been entered into prior to the date of this Indenture and permitted by Section 4.11(b)(7) hereof, and for purposes of Section 4.08 hereof, all contracts entered into during the Suspension
Period that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been existing on the date of this Indenture. 

The Company shall promptly upon its occurrence deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate notifying the Trustee of the commencement
of any Suspension Period or a Reversion Date, the date thereof and identifying the suspended covenants. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the ratings of the Notes, the occurrence or dates of any Suspension Period or Reversion Date
and may rely conclusively on such Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to notify the Holders of the occurrence or dates of any Suspension Period, suspended covenants or Reversion Date, but may provide a copy of such
Officers’ Certificate to any Holder of Notes upon request.

power of the Company or the Issuer, as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such surviving Person had been named as the Company or the Issuer, as the case may be, herein, and thereafter (except in the case of a lease of
all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets), the Company or the Issuer, as the case may be, will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes and, in the case of the Company, its Note
Guarantee.

created after the date of this Indenture, if that default: 
 (1)    is caused by a failure to pay

that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(2)    appoints a custodian of the Issuer, the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries
that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 

  
 86 

 (3)    orders the liquidation of the Issuer, the Company
or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

Section 6.02    Acceleration. 

In the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or 6.01(j) hereof, with respect to the Issuer, the Company, any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, then the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. 
 The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of all the Notes, rescind an acceleration and its consequences hereunder, if, among other things, (1) the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest on, the Notes that has become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and (3) the Trustee has been paid all amounts then owing to the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. 

Section 6.03    Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal of, or any
interest on, the Notes or Note Guarantees or to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise. 

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 of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

  
 87 

 Section 6.04    Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes when
due; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration,
as provided in Section 6.02. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05    Control by Majority.

 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines
may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudiced to such Holders) or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits. 

Except to enforce the right to receive payments of principal, premium and interest, if any, when due on the Notes, no Holder of a Note may
pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (a)    such Holder has previously given the
Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (b)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c)    such Holder

(d)    the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer, or
provision if requested, of security or indemnity; and 

  
 88 

 (e)    during such 60-day
period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07    Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.08    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or the
Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by
a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. The Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ committee or other similar committee. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

  
 89

Third:    to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6.09. 

Section 6.10    Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.10 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee or a suit by Holders of more than 10%
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

violate applicable law binding upon it.

Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor will defend the claim and

indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(a)    the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S.
dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, 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 delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable
redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date (provided that if such redemption is made as provided in
Section 3.07(b) hereof, (x) the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, that must be irrevocably deposited will be determined using an assumed
Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the depositor must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on
such date); 
 (b)    in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 
 (1)    the Issuer received
from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (2)    since the date
of this Indenture, 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; 

  
 98 

 (c)    in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the
Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 

(e)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (f)    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 

(g)    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. 

Section 8.05    Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including
the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held
in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

  
 99 

 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay
to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.06    Repayment to Issuer. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, on, and interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable, subject to applicable abandoned property law shall be paid to the Issuer on its
request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease. 

Section 8.07    Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s
and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, any
Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT
AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01    Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees: 
 (a)    to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (b)    to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition
to or in place of certificated Notes; 

  
 100 

 (c)    to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s or a
Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or disposition of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s properties or assets, as applicable; 

(d)    to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any Holder, including to comply with requirements of the SEC or DTC in order to maintain the transferability of the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act; 

(e)    to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
TIA; 
 (f)    to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the
“Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate; 

(g)    to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as
of the date hereof; 
 (h)    to secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees, including pursuant to the requirements of
Section 4.12 hereof; 
 (i)    to add any additional Guarantor or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its
Note Guarantee, in each case as provided in this Indenture, provided that any supplemental indenture to add additional Guarantors need only be signed by the Issuer, the Company, such additional Guarantor and the Trustee; or 

(j)    to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee. 

Upon the request of the Company, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join
with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but
the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture
(including Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single
class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Section 6.04 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class

  
 101 

 
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered
to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a)    reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders
must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of
any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except provisions relating to minimum required notice of optional redemption or, for the avoidance of doubt, provisions relating to Sections 3.09, 4.10 or
4.15 hereof); 
 (c)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

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

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

(f)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders
of Notes to enforce their rights to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, on, the Notes (other than as permitted by clause (g) below); 

(g)    waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, a payment required by
Section 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof); 
 (h)    release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note
Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (i)    make any change in the
preceding amendment, supplement or waiver provisions. 
 Upon the request of the Company to the Trustee, and upon the filing with the
Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of the Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors
in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its
discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It is not necessary for the consent of the
Holders of the Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The Issuer may, but shall not be

  
 102 

 
obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or
their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by
virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company or the Issuer will send to the
Holders of the Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company or the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.03    Revocation and Effect of
Consents. 
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by
the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or
subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in
accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.04    Notation on or Exchange of
Notes. 
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.
The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

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

 Section 9.05    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in
conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.02 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture.

 ARTICLE 10 

NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01    Guarantee. 

(a)    Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally Guarantees to each
Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder,
that: 
 (1)     the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes will be
promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the
Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

(2)    in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so Guaranteed or any performance so Guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and
severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of collection. 

(b)    The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or
such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 

  
 104 

 (d)    Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations Guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and
the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations Guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such
right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee. 
 Section 10.02    Limitation on
Guarantor Liability. 
 Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to
the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after
giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

Section 10.03    Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on the date of this Indenture and that this Indenture, or a supplement thereto, will be
executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 

If an Officer whose signature is on the notation of its Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Note on which such notation of its Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by
the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

  
 105 

 Section 10.04    Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain
Terms. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, a Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Company may not:
(1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such
Guarantor in one or more related transactions, to another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless: 

(a)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no continuing Default or Event of
Default exists; and 
 (b)    either: 

(1)    subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this
Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or 

(2)    the transaction or series of transactions does not violate Section 4.10 hereof. 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee of the Guarantor and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the notations of Note
Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (b)(1) and (2) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or
in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Company with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or other disposition of the properties or assets of a Guarantor
that is a Subsidiary of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor. 

  
 106 

 Section 10.05    Releases. 

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than the Company) shall be automatically released: 

(a)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that
Guarantor by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if the sale or other disposition does not violate
Section 4.10 hereof; 
 (b)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor
by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate
Section 4.10 hereof and such Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition; 

(c)    upon designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

 (d)    upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; or 

(e)    at such time as such Guarantor does not Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guarantor under a
Credit Facility (other than the Notes). 
 In addition, the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor and its obligations under the Indenture and the
Notes shall be automatically released upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof. 

The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that prior to executing such documents, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel compliant with Section 12.02 to the
effect that the conditions precedent to such release have been satisfied. Any failure by the Trustee to execute such documents shall, however, not affect the automatic release and discharge of the Note Guarantee and the other obligations of any
Guarantor as contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.04. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of,
premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 

  
 107 

 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01    Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be satisfied and discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (except as to surviving
rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes and as otherwise specified in this Article 11), when: 

(a)    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 

(2)    all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable
or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise 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 thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest (which,
in the case of Government Securities will be evidenced by an opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee), to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the
Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest on, the Notes to the date of Stated Maturity or redemption (provided that if such redemption is made as provided in Section 3.07(b)
hereunder (x) the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, that must be irrevocably deposited will be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium
calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the depositor must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined by such date); 

(b)    the Issuer has or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by the Issuer under this
Indenture; and 
 (c)    the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply
the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at Stated 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 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 subclause
(2) of clause (a) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by
their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 11.02     Application
of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent)
as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law. 

  
 108 

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in
accordance with Section 11.01 hereof 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 Issuer’s and any
Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 11.01 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders.

7.000% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2026 

[Insert the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture]

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

(1)    INTEREST. Berry Petroleum, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Issuer”) promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at 7.0% per annum from
[                    ]. The Issuer will pay interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”); provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be [                ]. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date
referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months. If any payment with respect to any principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on any Note (including any payment to be made on any date fixed for redemption or
purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business Day, then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date, and no interest will accrue for the
intervening period. 
 (2)    METHOD OF
PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business day, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to
defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose described in the Indenture, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest,
if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any,
on, and interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of at least $5.0 million principal amount of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to an account in the continental United States to the Issuer or the
Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

  
 A-2 

 (3)    PAYING AGENT
AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(4)    INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of February 8, 2018 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling to the extent permitted by law.
The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

(5)    OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a)    At any time prior to February 15, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up
to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 107.000% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings, provided that: 
 (A)    at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
originally issued under the Indenture on the date of this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

(B)    the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(b)    At any time prior to February 15, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all
or a part of the Notes, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption,
subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

(c)    The Issuer may redeem all (but not a portion of) the Notes when permitted by, and pursuant to the
conditions in, Section 4.15(e) of the Indenture. 
 (d)    Except pursuant to the preceding
paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to February 15, 2021. The Issuer will not be, however, prohibited from acquiring the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer, open
market purchase or otherwise. 

  
 A-3 

 (e)    On or after February 15, 2021, the Issuer
may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
Notes redeemed, to the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the
relevant Interest Payment Date: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2021
	  	 	105.250	% 
	 2022
	  	 	103.500	% 
	 2023
	  	 	101.750	% 
	 2024 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes
or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 

(6)    MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer
is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

(7)    REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION
OF HOLDER. 
 (a)    If there is a Change
of Control, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at
a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as
required by the Indenture. 
 (b)    If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates
any Asset Sales, the Issuer may be required as set forth in the Indenture to apply Excess Proceeds to make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing
provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase. Holders of Definitive Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuer prior to any related purchase date
and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. 

  
 A-4 

 (8)    NOTICE OF
REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or send electronically if DTC is the recipient, a notice of
redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 11 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of minimum denominations of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the
Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. 

(9)    DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER,
EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the
Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(10)    PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The
registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture. 

(11)    AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND
WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be
amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 
 (12)    DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer, the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, then the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes will become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable 

  
 A-5 

 
immediately. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice
of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase any Notes). 

(13)    TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH
ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates,
as if it were not the Trustee. 
 (14)    NO RECOURSE
AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder or other owner of any Capital Stock of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of
the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 

(15)    AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

(16)    ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name
of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act). 
 (17)    CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

(18)    GOVERNING LAW. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE
INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.
