in each case whether or not Incurred by such Person in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or such merger or acquisition, and Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any property
or asset acquired by such specified Person. 
 Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been Incurred, with respect to
clause (a) of the preceding sentence, on the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and, with respect to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, on the date of
consummation of such acquisition of property or assets. The term “Acquired Indebtedness” does not include Indebtedness of a Person that is redeemed, defeased, retired or otherwise repaid at the time of or immediately upon consummation of
the transactions by which such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or such property or assets are acquired, which Indebtedness of such Person will not be deemed to be Indebtedness of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative
meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) when used with respect to any Person means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the
management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to
the foregoing. 
 “Agent” means any Registrar or Paying Agent. 

“Applicable Premium” means 2.50% of the principal amount of such Note. 

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any

ordinary course of business), transfer, issuance or other disposition, or a series of related sales, leases, transfers, issuances or dispositions that are part of a common plan, of shares of Capital Stock of a Subsidiary of the Company (other than

“Consolidated Coverage Ratio” means as of any date of determination, with respect to any Person, the ratio of
(x) the aggregate amount of Consolidated EBITDA of such Person for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such determination for which financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis in

(1)    if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary: 

(a)    has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that remains
outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will
be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period (except that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving
Credit Facility outstanding on the date of such calculation will be deemed to be (i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (ii) if

(b)    has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged any
Indebtedness since the beginning of the period that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes a discharge of Indebtedness (in each case,
other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving Credit Facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be
calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period; 

(2)    if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will
have made any Asset Sale or disposed of or discontinued (as defined under GAAP) any company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or properties or line of business or if the transaction giving rise to the need to
calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes such a transaction: 

  
 -7- 

 (a)    the Consolidated EBITDA for such
period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets or properties that are the subject of such disposition or discontinuation for such period or increased by an amount equal to the
Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period; and 

(b)    Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to
the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing
Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such
Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale); 

(3)    if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by
merger or otherwise) will have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged or consolidated with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets or
property, including any acquisition of assets or property occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of a company, division, operating unit, segment, business,
group of related assets or properties or line of business, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if
such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such period; and 
 (4)    if
since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) will have Incurred any

request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or take any such other act or vote on or consent to any such action by vote or consent, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. Unless otherwise specified,
if not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, any such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first
solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation. 

(f)    Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any
particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any
notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this Section 1.05(f) shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different
part. 
 (g)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including DTC that is the
Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by
Holders, and DTC that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices. 

(h)    The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial
owners of interests in any Global Note held by DTC entitled under the procedures of such depositary to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 120 days after such record date.

(a)    The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture
is unlimited. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof will be in an aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000. In addition, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, Additional Notes (as
provided herein) and Unrestricted Global Notes (as provided herein). Furthermore, Notes may be authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer, exchange or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.06, 2.09, 2.10, 3.06 or
9.05, in connection with an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 4.10 or in connection with a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 4.14. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not issue any Additional Notes, unless at the time
of such issuance, the Company would be in compliance with Section 4.09. 
 The Notes shall be known and designated as
“5.000% Senior Notes due 2020” of the Company. 
 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall
set forth in (x) a Board Resolution and (y) (i) an Officers’ Certificate or (ii) one or more indentures supplemental hereto, the following information: 

(1)    the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and
delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and 
 (2)    the issue price and the issue date of
such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest shall accrue. 
 In authenticating and delivering Additional
Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate required by Section 12.04, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization,
execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of such Additional Notes. 
 The Initial Notes, the Additional Notes and
the Unrestricted Global Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture. Holders of the Initial Notes, the Additional Notes and the Unrestricted Global Notes will vote and consent together on all matters
to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the Initial Notes, the Additional Notes or the Unrestricted Global Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to
which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. 
 A copy of the Board Resolutions of the Company establishing the terms
of any Additional Notes, certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company, shall be 

  
 -34- 

 
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate or the indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes. 

(b)    The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes (if issued as Transfer Restricted Notes) (the
“Additional Restricted Notes”) will be resold initially only to (A) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and (B) Non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S. Such Initial Notes and
Additional Restricted Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs, purchasers in reliance on Regulation S and IAIs in accordance with Rule 501 of the Securities Act, in each case, in accordance with the procedure described herein.
Additional Notes offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Company from time to time pursuant to one or more purchase agreements in accordance with applicable law. 

Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold to QIBs in the United States of America in reliance on Rule
144A (the “Rule 144A Notes”) shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A. which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, including appropriate
legends as set forth in Section 2.01(d) (the “Rule 144A Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Rule 144A
Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note may from
time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 

Initial Notes and any Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold outside the United States of America (the
“Regulation S Notes”) in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note, without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A including appropriate legends as set forth in
Section 2.01(d) (the “Regulation S Global Note”). Each Regulation S Global Note will be deposited upon issuance with, or on behalf of, the Trustee as custodian for DTC in the manner described in this Article 2 for credit
to the respective accounts of the purchasers (or to such other accounts as they may direct), including, but not limited to, accounts at Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
(“Clearstream”). Prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Initial Notes and the Issue Date (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”),
interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be transferred to non-U.S. Persons pursuant to Regulation S, unless exchanged for interests in a Global Note in accordance with the transfer and certification
requirements described herein. 
 Investors may hold their interests in the Regulation S Global Note through organizations
other than Euroclear or Clearstream that are participants in DTC’s system or directly through Euroclear or Clearstream if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. If such
interests are held through Euroclear or Clearstream Euroclear and Clearstream will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names
on the books of their respective depositaries. Such depositaries, in turn, will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. 

  
 -35- 

 The Regulation S Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if
so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on
the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 
 Initial Notes and Additional
Restricted Notes resold to IAIs (the “Institutional Accredited Investor Notes”‘) in the United States of America shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A including
appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.01(d) (the “Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note”) deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by
the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single
certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter
provided. 
 The Rule 144A Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note and the Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note
are sometimes collectively herein referred to as the “Global Notes.” 
 The principal of (and premium if
any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03; provided,
however, that, at the option of the Company, each installment of interest may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Note Register or (ii) wire transfer to an
account located in the United States maintained by the payee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Definitive Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) held by a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
Notes represented by Definitive Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the
Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set
forth on Exhibit A and in Section 2.01(d). The Company shall approve any notation, endorsement or legend on the Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part
of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms. 

  
 -36- 

 (c)    Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only
in fully registered form, without coupons, and only in denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(d)    Restrictive Legends. Unless and until (i) an Initial Note or an Additional Note issued
as a Transfer Restricted Note is sold under an effective registration statement or (ii) an Initial Note or Additional Note is exchanged for a Note that does not bear the Restricted Notes Legend in accordance with Section 2.06(e): 

(1)    the Rule 144A Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note and the Institutional
Accredited Investor Global Note shall bear the following legend on the face thereof the “Restricted Notes Legend”: 

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS
SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES TO OFFER SELL OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) THAT IS [IN THE CASE OF RULE 144A NOTES: SIX MONTHS] [IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES: 40 DAYS] AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF, THE
ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF THE ISSUANCE OF ANY ADDITIONAL NOTES AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE ISSUER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH SECURITY), ONLY (A) TO THE ISSUER, (B) PURSUANT TO
A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“RULE 144A”), TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY
BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE
144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED
INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT IS AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR ACQUIRING THE SECURITY FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SUCH AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED

 -37- 

 
INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO OR FOR OFFER OR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (F) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER (1) PURSUANT TO CLAUSES (D), (E) OR (F) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/ OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM, AND (2) IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, TO REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THIS NOTE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO
THE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE. [IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES: BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON NOR IS IT
PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.] 

(2)    Each Global Note, whether or not an Initial Note, shall bear the following legend on
the face thereof: 
 UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A
NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS
REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR
TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 
 TRANSFERS
OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO DTC, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS
MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF. 

(e)    Book-Entry Provisions. 

(i)    This Section 2.01(e) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as
custodian for DTC. 

  
 -38- 

 (ii)    Each Global Note initially shall (x) be
registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, (y) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for DTC and (z) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.01(d). Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be
limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.01(e)(v) and 2.01(f). If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or
exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and
(y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an
interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if
any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(iii)    Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Trustee as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 

(iv)    In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant
to Section 2.01(f) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount. 

(v)    In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
Section 2.01(f), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC
in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. 

(vi)    The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent
Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

(vii)    Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a 

  
 -39- 

 
book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial
interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 (f)    Definitive
Notes. 
 (i)    Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be
entitled to receive Definitive Notes. If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance
with DTC’s and the Registrar’s procedures. In addition, Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (A) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or, (B) the Company in its sole discretion executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or
(C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from DTC. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the second preceding sentence or in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the
preceding sentence, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes. 

(ii)    Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
Section 2.01(e)(iii) or (iv) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.06(d), bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 

(iii)    If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the
Trustee will (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves
less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note in authorized denominations
representing the principal amount not so transferred. 
 (iv)    If a Definitive Note is transferred or
exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the Trustee will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new
Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Note (in the case of
an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive
Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 

  
 -40- 

 (v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Indenture, in no event shall a Definitive Note be delivered upon exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note prior to the end of the Restricted Period. 

Section 2.02    Execution and Authentication. 

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (an “Authentication Order”),
authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such
Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder. At least one Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized
officer of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, (2) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an
unlimited principal amount and (3) under the circumstances set forth in Section 2.06(e), Initial Notes or Additional Notes in the form of an Unrestricted Global Note, in each case upon a Company Order. Such Company Order shall specify
whether the Notes will be in the form of Definitive Notes or Global Notes, the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or
Additional Notes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to authenticating any Note hereunder, the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent) shall receive an Authentication Order from the Company. 

The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to
authenticate the Notes. Any such instrument shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may
authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or
agent for service of notices and demands. 
 In case the Company, pursuant to Article 5, shall be consolidated or merged
with or into or wind up into any other Person or shall sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and the successor
Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged or wound up into, or the Person which shall have received a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, or other disposition as
aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to 

  
 -41- 

 
Article 5, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the
request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such
exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be
authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.02 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without
expense to them shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name. 

Section 2.03    Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note
Register”). The Company may have one or more co- registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term
“Registrar” includes any co-registrar. 
 The Company shall enter into an
appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent required thereunder. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this
Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate
compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries organized in the United States may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Company may remove any Registrar
or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an
appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until
the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee. 

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the
Global Notes. 

  
 -42- 

 Section 2.04    Paying Agent to Hold Money in
Trust. 
 The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent
shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium if any, or interest on the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company
or other obligors on the Notes), shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment and shall during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any
payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith deliver to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes together with a full accounting thereof. If the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to
the Trustee and to account for any funds or assets disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon payment to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to
the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05    Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names
and addresses of Holders of the Notes and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, or to the extent otherwise required under the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall furnish or cause
the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of Holders of the Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). 

Section 2.06    Transfer and Exchange. 

(a)    General. A Holder may transfer a Note to another Person or exchange a Note for another Note
or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by this
Section 2.06. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 2.06 by noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange will be
effective until it is registered in such register. The transfer or exchange of any Note may only be made in accordance with this Section 2.06 and Section 2.01(e) and 2.01(f), as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Note, the

succeeding Business Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may

  
 -45- 

 
pursuant to the Applicable Procedures (i) provide written notice to DTC at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, instructing DTC to direct the
Depositary to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to the Unrestricted Global Note, which the Company shall have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the DTC, (ii) provide
prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders at least 15 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange Date (the “Automatic Exchange
Notice Date”), which notice must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of the Indenture pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange shall occur, (y) the “CUSIP” number of the Restricted Global Note from
which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred and the (z) “CUSIP” number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred, and (iii) on or prior to the

Notice to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.06(e), during the fifteen (15) day period prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or
exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 2.06(e) shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Company. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Company shall provide, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, an
Opinion of Counsel and on an Officers’ Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained
herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Restricted Global Note is to be transferred to the particular
Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.06(e), the aggregate principal amount
of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note resulting from the
applicable exchange. The Restricted Global Note from which beneficial interests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be canceled following the Automatic Exchange. 

(f)    [Reserved]. 

(g)    Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes.

Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date or (B) called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

the forms of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, including without limitation the transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the

any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery

 1.    We are an institutional “accredited investor”
(as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor”
at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in the Notes and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are
each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 
 2.    We understand that the Notes have
not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell
or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is six months after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the
“Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (b) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the
requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the
account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S. persons that occur outside the United States within the
meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the
account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000 for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of
the Securities Act or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property
of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date.
If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this
letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and
that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to
the Resale Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.

5.000% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

In connection with our proposed sale of $[        ] aggregate principal amount of the
[[Rule 144A Note] [Institutional Accredited Investor Note]] in exchange for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Note, we confirm that such sale has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, we represent that: 

(a)    the offer of the Notes was not made to a person in the United States; 

(b)    either (i) at the time the buy order was originated, the transferee was outside
the United States or we and any person acting on our behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was outside the United States or (ii) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated off-shore securities market and neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction has been pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States; 

(c)    no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States in contravention of
the requirements of Rule 903(a) (2) or Rule 904(a)(2) of Regulation S, as applicable; and 

(d)    the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. 

  
 -50- 

 In addition, if the sale is made during a restricted period and the provisions of
Rule 903(b)(2), Rule 903(b)(3) or Rule 904(b)(1) of Regulation S are applicable thereto, we confirm that such sale has been made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 903(b)(2), Rule 903(b)(3) or Rule 904(b)(1), as the
case may be. 
 We also hereby certify that we [are] [are not] an Affiliate of the Company and, to our knowledge, the
transferee of the Notes [is] [is not] an Affiliate of the Company. 
 You and the Company are entitled to rely upon this
letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Terms used in this certificate have the
meanings set forth in Regulation S.

 Section 2.09    Replacement Notes. 

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

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

Section 2.10    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 2.10 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in
Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 

  
 -51- 

 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01,
it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest. 
 Section 2.11    Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or
consent. Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or
consent, only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. 

Section 2.12    Temporary Notes. 

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

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to
Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 

Section 2.13    Cancellation. 

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

  
 -52- 

 Section 2.14    Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall 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, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Company shall 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, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid
in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.14. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date for such defaulted interest. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of
such interest to be paid. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 and for greater certainty, each
Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

Section 2.15    CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3

Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of
$2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be
redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

Section 3.03    Notice of Redemption. 

(a)    Subject to Section 3.09, the Company shall transmit or cause to be transmitted, notices of
redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the applicable Depository, except that
redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11. 

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(i)    the CUSIP; 

(ii)    the redemption date; 

(iii)    the redemption price; 

(iv)    if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of
that Note that is 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 of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not
redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

(vi)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect

(b)    At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 5 Business Days before 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), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in
Section 3.03(a). 
 Section 3.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and
payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice
or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption
date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, any notice of redemption otherwise made in compliance with Section 3.03 may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of an Equity Offering or consummation of other
transactions related to such proposed redemption as specified in such notice of redemption. 

Section 3.05    Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company
any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

(b)    If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or
purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If the optional redemption date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business, on such 

  
 -55- 

 
Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with
Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 

Section 3.06    Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for
the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new
Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

the Company’s option prior to February 28, 2019. 
 (c)    On and after February 28,
2019, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or, from time to time, a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

(d)    Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.01 through 3.06. 
 (e)    If the optional redemption date is on or after a Record Date
and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business, on such Record Date.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or

 The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one

Section 4.03    Reports and Other Information. 

Notwithstanding that the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
or is otherwise required to report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, so long as the Notes are outstanding (unless defeased in a legal
defeasance), the Company shall (a) file with the SEC (unless the SEC will not accept such filing), and (b) make available to the Trustee and, upon written request, a Holder of the Notes, without cost to any Holder, from and after the Issue

 (1)    within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act (including all
applicable extension periods), an annual report on Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) containing the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable
form);

applicable extension periods), a quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form); and

15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act (including all applicable extension periods), which requirement may be satisfied by posting such reports on its website within the time periods specified by this

including the SEC’s Interactive Data Electronic Application system) and the Company’s website within the time periods specified above will be deemed to satisfy the above delivery obligation. Delivery of such reports, information and
documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either
individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by this Section 4.03 shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the
financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements, and in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, of the financial condition and results of

certificate, that to his or her knowledge, the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05    Taxes. 

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

Section 4.06    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

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

Section 4.08    Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries.

any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the
priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

 (2)    make any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it
being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans
or advances); or 
 (3)    sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above).

assets); 
 (4)    any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement,
extension, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3) or this clause (4) of this Section 4.08(b); provided, however, that the encumbrances or restrictions contained in such
amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, extension, refunding, replacement or refinancing is not materially more restrictive, when taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any of the agreements or
instruments referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.08(b) on the Issue Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Company or a

similar obligations or agreements permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.08(a) with respect to the property or assets acquired,
financed, designed, leased, constructed, repaired, maintained, installed or improved in connection therewith or thereby (including any proceeds thereof, accessions thereto and any upgrades or improvements thereto); 

(7)    agreements for the sale, transfer or other disposition of property or assets,
including without limitation customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or a portion of the Capital Stock, property or
assets of such Subsidiary; 
 (8)    restrictions on cash, Cash Equivalents or other
deposits or net worth imposed by customers, suppliers or landlords under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business or as required by insurance surety or bonding companies; 

(9)    any provisions in joint venture agreements, partnership agreements, LLC agreements
and other similar agreements, which (x) are customary or (y) as determined in good faith by an Officer of the Company (as evidenced by an Officers ‘ Certificate) do not adversely affect the Company’s ability to make payments of
principal or interest payments on the Notes when due; 

  
 -67- 

 (10)    any provisions in leases, subleases,
licenses, asset sale agreements, sale/leaseback agreements or stock sale agreements and other agreements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that (x) are customary and entered into in the ordinary course of business or
(y) do not adversely affect the Company’s ability to make payments of principal or interest payments on the Notes when due, as determined in good faith by an Officer of the Company (as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate); or 

(11)    applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order, or any license, permit
or other authorization issued by any governmental or regulatory authority. 

Section 4.09    Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if on the date of such Incurrence and
after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is at least 3.00 to 1.00.

(ii)    any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
 (6)    Indebtedness of
Persons Incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by, or merged into, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred (a) to provide all or any portion of
the funds utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Company or (b) otherwise either in connection with,

another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of
any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Company or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock not permitted by this clause (13); 

(14)    [reserved]; 

(15)    Indebtedness consisting of the financing of (a) insurance premiums or (b) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, in each case Incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(18)    in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (17) above,
Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred at such time when the Company’s Leverage Ratio for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately
preceding the date on which such Indebtedness is Incurred, would not exceed 3.25 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom, and calculating any such Indebtedness in the form of fully
committed revolving credit or working capital facilities as if such fully committed facilities were fully drawn as of the date of such determination), as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 

(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular
Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 4.09: 

(1)    in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and 4.09(b), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall divide and classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and may later divide and reclassify such item of
Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09 and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; 

(2)    Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to,
Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(3)    if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Credit
Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) above and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(4)    the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, shall be deemed to be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) and the liquidation
preference thereof, exclusive of any accrued dividends; 
 (5)    Indebtedness permitted
by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting
such Indebtedness; 
 (6)    the principal amount of any Indebtedness outstanding in
connection with a securitization transaction or series of securitization transactions is the amount of 

  
 -71- 

 
obligations outstanding under the legal documents entered into as part of such transaction that would be characterized as principal if such transaction were structured as a secured lending
transaction rather than as a purchase relating to such transaction; and 
 (7)    the
amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP. 

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value or original issue discount, the amortization of
debt discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes
of this Section 4.09. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount or the aggregate principal amount outstanding in
the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable in kind and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof in the case of any other Indebtedness. 

The Company will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries, for so long as it is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to Incur
any Indebtedness (including the issuance of any shares of Disqualified Stock), other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.09, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 4.09).

 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness,
the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or
first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal
amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may Incur pursuant
to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different
currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

 Section 4.10    Sales of Assets and Subsidiary
Stock. 
 (a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
consummate any Asset Sale unless: 
 (1)    the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the Capital Stock, property or assets subject to
such Asset Sale; 
 (2)    [reserved]; 

(3)    at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Sale received by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and 

(4)    an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Sale is applied by
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days from the later of the date of consummation of such Asset Sale or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, as follows: 

(a)    to repay, prepay, defease, redeem purchase or otherwise retire (and to permanently
reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings): (x) Indebtedness or other obligations under the Senior Credit Facility; (y) Indebtedness of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated
Obligations) that is secured by a Lien (other than Indebtedness owed to an Affiliate of the Company); or (z) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock) that is secured by a Lien (other than Indebtedness owed to
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company); 
 (b)    in the case of an Asset Sale by a
Restricted Subsidiary, to repay, prepay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire (and to permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary or any other
Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (c)    to permanently reduce obligations under any other
Indebtedness of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock) (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company); provided that the Company shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount
thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the
amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or 

  
 -73- 

 (d)    to invest in, purchase or otherwise
acquire Additional Assets, or to make payments (including without limitation prepayments and progress payments) in connection with such investment, purchase or other acquisition; 

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (a), (b), (c) or
(d) above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(b)    For the purposes of clause (3) of Section 4.10(a) and for no other purpose, the
following shall be deemed to be cash: 
 (1)    any liabilities (as shown on the
Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
Capital Stock, property or assets and from which the Company and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released from further liability therefor; and 

(2)    any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in such conversion) within 270 days following the closing of such Asset Sale. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% limitation referred to in clause (3) of Section 4.10(a) shall be deemed
satisfied with respect to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision on an after-tax basis, if
the proceeds before tax would have complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation. 
 (c)    Any Net
Available Cash from Asset Sales that is not applied or invested as provided in clause (4) of Section 4.10(a) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day after the later of the date of consummation of
the applicable Asset Sale and the receipt of Net Available Cash with respect thereto, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Company shall be required to make an offer (“Asset Sale Offer”) to all
Holders of Notes and to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu
Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sale, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Sale Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in
cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the
Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in integral multiples of $1,000. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than
the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Pari Passu

  
 -74- 

 
Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee, in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures, shall select the Notes, and
the Company, trustee or agent for the Pari Passu Indebtedness shall select the Pari Passu Indebtedness, to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness. Upon completion
of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open
for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Sale Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the
Asset Sale Offer Period (the “Asset Sale Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.10 (the “Asset Sale
Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. 

If the Asset Sale Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued
and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. 

Pending the final application of any Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may apply such Net Available Cash temporarily to reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(d)    On or before the Asset Sale Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for
payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Sale Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer,
or if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case in integral multiples of $1,000. The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.10 and, in addition, the Company shall deliver all
certificates and notes required, if any, by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after
termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of Notes an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase,
and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Officers’ Certificate from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased
portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, the
Company shall take any and all other actions required by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly

  
 -75- 

 
announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Purchase Date. 

(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.10 or Section 3.09 to the contrary, so long as
the Senior Credit Facility in effect on the Issue Date remains outstanding and the definition of “Refinancing Indebtedness” thereunder prohibits redemptions of the Notes, the Company shall not be required to make any Asset Sale Offer;
provided, that, the Company applies 100% of the Net Available Cash from any Asset Sale in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.10. The failure to apply 100% of the Net Available Cash from any Asset Sale in accordance
with the preceding sentence shall constitute a Default hereunder. 
 The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable,
with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.11    Transactions with Affiliates.

 (a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless: 

(1)    the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when taken as a whole, than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction on an arm’s-length
basis with a Person who is not an Affiliate; 
 (2)    in the event such Affiliate
Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of the Directors of
the Company shall have determined in good faith that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (1) above; and 

(3)    in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in
excess of $20.0 million, the Company has received a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor (a) that such Affiliate Transaction is not materially less favorable, when taken as a whole, than those that might reasonably have
been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction on an arm’s-length basis with a Person who is not an Affiliate, or (b) as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view. 
 (b)    Section
4.11(a) shall not apply to: 

  
 -76- 

 (1)    any transaction between or among the
Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among any Restricted Subsidiaries and any Guarantees issued by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in
accordance with Section 4.09; 
 (2)    any Restricted Payment permitted to be made
pursuant to Section 4.07 and the definition of “Permitted Investments”; 

(3)    any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or indemnification
arrangement, entered into by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary with a current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; the payment of compensation or expense reimbursement to any current or former
director, officer or employee of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit, employee stock option or similar plans); or any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash,
securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment agreements and other compensation arrangements, options to purchase Capital Stock of the Company, restricted stock plans, restricted stock unit plans, long-term incentive plans,
stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee benefits plans and/or indemnity provided on behalf of directors, officers and employees of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company; 
 (4)    the payment of reasonable fees and expense reimbursements to current
or former directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (5)    loans or
advances to employees, officers or directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, in an aggregate amount not in excess of $2.5 million outstanding at any time; 

(6)    any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, as such agreement may be amended,
modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time, so long as any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal, when taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders in the reasonable
determination of an Officer of the Company (as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate); 

(7)    any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the
time such Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as such agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time; provided that such agreement was
not entered into contemplation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation, and so long as any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal, when taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders, in the
reasonable determination of an Officer of the Company (as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate), than the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of such acquisition, merger or consolidation; 

  
 -77- 

 (8)    transactions with customers, clients,
suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture;
provided that in the reasonable determination of an Officer of the Company (as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate), such transactions are on terms that are not materially less favorable, when taken as a whole, 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; 

(9)    any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates
of the Company and the granting of registration and other customary rights with respect thereto; and 

(10)    transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the
Trustee a letter or opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable, when
taken as a whole, than those that might reasonably have been obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is
not an Affiliate. 
 Section 4.12    Limitation on Liens. 

(a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create or incur any Lien securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries), or income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens: 

(1)    in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations, the Notes are secured by a
Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior to such Liens; or 
 (2)    in
all other cases, the Notes are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens. 

(b)    Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall
be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to comply with this
Section 4.12 and this Section 4.12 shall have no effect unless and until it is not prohibited by the Senior Credit Facility in effect on the Issue Date; provided, however, that this Section 4.12 shall be effective and enforceable upon
any renewal, refunding, replacement, restructuring, amendment and extension, restatement or refinancing of the Senior Credit Facility in effect on the Issue Date.

 Section 4.13    Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect (i) its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company 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 or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Company in good faith 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. 

Section 4.14    Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a)    If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes
as described under Section 3.07, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date). 
 (b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its
right to redeem all of the Notes as described under Section 3.07, the Company shall deliver a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating: 

(1)    that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require
the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders on a Record Date to
receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”): 

(2)    the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
from the date such notice is sent) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”): and 

(3)    the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a
Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to
the extent lawful: 
 (1)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (equal to
$2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

  
 -79- 

 (2)    deposit with the Paying Agent an
amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and 

(3)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with
an Officers ‘ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a
principal amount of $2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000. 
 The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided,
shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the notice is delivered in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice
but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. 

If the Change of Control Payment 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 on the relevant interest payment date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date. 

The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change
of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change
of Control Offer. 
 (c)    The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of
Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of
such compliance.

Company is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related
transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (1)    the resulting, surviving or transferee
Person (the “Successor Company”) is the Company or will be a corporation, limited liability company or partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States, the District
of Columbia or any territory of the United States; provided that if such Person is not a corporation, such Person shall immediately cause a Subsidiary that is a corporation to be added as a co-issuer of
the Notes under this Indenture; 
 (2)    the Successor Company (if other than the
Company) assumes all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documentation or instruments in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(3)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default

(i)    the Successor Company would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a), or

(5)    the Successor Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an

Section 5.02    Successor Entity Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01, the Company shall be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the Successor Company formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to
which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this
Indenture referring to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Company and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as
the Company herein; provided that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all
of the Company’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01    Events of Default. 

(a)    An “Event of Default” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body): 
 (1)    default in any payment of interest on any Note when due,
continued for 30 days; 
 (2)    default in the payment of principal of or premium, if
any, on any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 

  
 -82- 

 (3)    failure by the Company to comply with
its obligations under Section 5.01 (other than its obligations under clause (5) of Section 5.01(a)) continued for 30 days after notice; 

(4)    failure by the Company to comply for 30 days after notice as provided below with any
of its obligations under Section 4.10 and 4.14 (in each case, other than (a) a failure to purchase Notes which constitutes an Event of Default under clause (2) above or (b) a failure to comply with Section 5.01 which
constitutes an Event of Default under Clause (3) above); 
 (5)    failure by the
Company to comply for 60 days after notice as provided below with Section 4.03; 

(6)    failure by the Company to comply for 60 days after notice as provided below with its
other covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture; 
 (7)    default by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
(or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee exists on the Issue Date or is created after
the Issue Date, which default: 
 (i)    is caused by a failure, after the expiration of
the grace period provided in such Indebtedness, to pay principal of, or interest or premium if any, on such Indebtedness (“payment default”): or 

(ii)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its maturity; 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under
which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; 

(8)    the Company or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that,
taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i)    commences a voluntary case or proceeding with respect to itself; 

(ii)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or
proceeding; 

  
 -83- 

 (iii)    consents to the appointment of a
Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for substantially all of its property; or 
 (iv)    makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 

(9)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law
that: 
 (i)    is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or a
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case; 

(ii)    appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or a
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, for substantially all of its property; or 

(iii)    orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company, any Significant Subsidiary
or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or any similar relief is granted under any foreign
laws and the order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(10)    failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of
$25.0 million (net of any amounts that are subject to appeal covered by insurance provided by a reputable and creditworthy insurance company), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 consecutive days. 

(b)    However, a default under clauses (4), (5) and (6) of Section 6.01(a) shall not
constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes provide written notice to the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time
specified in clauses (4), (5) and (6) of Section 6.01(a) after receipt of such notice. 

Section 6.02    Acceleration. 

(a)    If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(8) or
(9) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice in 

  
 -84- 

 
writing specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice” to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to
the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest shall be
due and payable immediately. 
 (b)    In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes
because an Event of Default described in clause (7) under Section 6.01(a) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default
pursuant to clause (7) of Section 6.01(a) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the Holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect
thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or
interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 

(c)    If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(8) or (9) occurs and is
continuing with respect to the Company, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holders. 
 Section 6.03    Other Remedies. 

Subject to Section 6.01(b), if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. 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. 
 Section 6.04    Waiver of Past
Defaults. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may waive all past
defaults (except with respect to a continuing Default or Event of Default with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if
(1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. 

  
 -85- 

 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. 

Subject to the express terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 7.02(f), 7.02(k) and 7.07, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in
personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to indemnification from the Holders satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

 (1)    such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of
Default is continuing; 
 (2)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee, by notice in writing, to pursue the remedy; 

(3)    such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonably satisfactory security or indemnity
against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4)    the Trustee has not complied with such
request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(5)    the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

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    Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive
Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment
of principal of, premium, if any and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a 

  
 -86- 

 
Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.08    Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is
authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any and interest 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 6.09    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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 Company, 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. 

Section 6.10    Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in
Section 2.09, and except as set forth in Section 6.01(b), no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 6.11    Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time,
and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 6.12    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 

  
 -87- 

 
and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), their creditors or their property and shall be
entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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 7.07. 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 7.07 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.
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. 

Section 6.13    Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

(i)    to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07,
including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

(ii)    to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium,
if any and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and 

(iii)    to the Company 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 Notes pursuant to this
Section 6.13. 
 Section 6.14    Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement 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
attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or 

  
 -88- 

 
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 Section 6.15    Restricted Transfer
Default. 
 (a)    If either: 

(1)    at any time during the six-month period
beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date on which any of the Notes are originally issued, (a) the Company fails to file timely any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under SEC rules and other than current reports on Form 8-K), (b) the Company fails
to submit electronically and post on its website every information data file the Company is required to submit and post, or (c) the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Affiliates of the Company (as a result of
restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the Indenture or the Notes); or 

(2)    at any time after the first anniversary of the last date on which any of the Notes
are originally issued, a restrictive legend on a Holder’s Notes specified in Section 2.01 is not removed in response to a prior request from the Holder, or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than Affiliates of the
Company (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the Indenture or the Notes) 
 (each event
referred to in clause (1) or (2) being a “Restricted Transfer Default”), and the Company has not cured any such Restricted Transfer Default within 14 calendar days following the occurrence of such Restricted Transfer
Default (that date being the “Restricted Transfer Triggering Date”), then the Company shall pay additional interest (“Restricted Transfer Default Interest”) on the Notes until the Restricted Transfer Default
is cured. 
 Restricted Transfer Default Interest on the Notes shall accrue with respect to the first 90-day period (or portion thereof) following the Restricted Transfer Triggering Date at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during such period during which such
Restricted Transfer Default is continuing, which rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes for each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) until all
Restricted Transfer Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes. Restricted Transfer Default Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner
as regular interest on the Notes. Following the cure of all Restricted Transfer Defaults, the accrual of Restricted Transfer Default Interest arising from Restricted Transfer Defaults shall cease. 

(b)    If, and for so long as, a restrictive legend on a Holder’s Notes specified in
Section 2.01 is not removed in response to a prior request from the Holder, or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than Affiliates of the Company (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the
Indenture or the Notes), the Company may elect to 

  
 -89- 

 
designate an effective shelf registration statement for the resale of the Notes. Restricted Transfer Default Interest will not accrue for any day on which such registration statement remains
effective and usable by Holders for the resale of the Notes. Any such registration will be effected on terms that are customary with regard to convertible notes that are offered in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 

(c)    If Restricted Transfer Default Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6.15(a),
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Restricted Transfer Default Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Restricted Transfer Default Interest
is payable. Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Restricted Transfer Default Interest is payable. If the Company has paid
Restricted Transfer Default Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions
which by any provision are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of, or otherwise monitor compliance with, the
Company’s covenants herein. 
 (f)    None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

action. 
 (i)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for

  
 -92- 

 
permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 and 7.11. 

Section 7.04    Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

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

Section 7.05    Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the Default
within 90 days after it is known to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of Trust Officers of the Trustee
in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know
of any Default that occurred during the previous year. 
 Section 7.06    Reports Trustee to
Holders of the Notes. 
 Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall send to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in
Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also
send all reports as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its
delivery to the Holders of Notes shall be sent to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly provide written notice
to the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 
 Section 7.07    Compensation
and Indemnity. 
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this
Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Such compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon
request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the 

  
 -93- 

 
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or
expense (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this
Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder or the Company, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the
claim at the request of the Trustee and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence. The Company shall not be required to indemnify the Trustee with respect to any settlement made
without the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 The obligations of the Company under
this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

To secure the payment obligations of the Company, the financial institution acting as Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the
Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or
(9) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

Section 7.08    Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 

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

  
 -94- 

 (b)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or
an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c)    a
custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (d)    the Trustee
becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense), the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months,
fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its
succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in
Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09    Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

Section 7.10    Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

  
 -95- 

 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of
Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 

Section 7.11    Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. 

The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust
Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. 
 The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to
all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02    Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a)    the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or
interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04; 

(b)    the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes,
registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

(c)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Company’s
obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d)    this Section 8.02. 

  
 -96- 

 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option
under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect to
the Notes. 
 Section 8.03    Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.14 and clause (4) of
Section 5.01(a) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all
other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply
shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6), 6.01(7), 6.01(8) (with respect only to Significant
Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(9) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(10) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), or because of the failure to comply with
Section 5.01(a)(4) shall not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes: 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes: 

(1)    the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government
Obligations, in amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable
redemption date, as 

  
 -97- 

 
the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(2)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) 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 shall confirm that, the Holders of the respective outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall 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; 

(3)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the respective outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall 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; 

(4)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (excluding this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

 (5)    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 the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings); 

(6)    the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that
the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

(7)    the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), 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 U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust: Other
Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (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 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall 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 

  
 -98- 

 
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium
and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company
shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 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. 
 Anything
in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 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(1)), 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 the Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of, premium and interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07    Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and
the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 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, as
the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall 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.

any Holder to: 
 (1)    cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency;

(3)    provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes
(provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); 

(4)    secure the Notes; 

(5)    add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any
right or power conferred upon the Company;

materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder under this Indenture; 

(7)    comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (8)    provide for the appointment of a
successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture; 

(9)    provide for the issuance of Additional Notes under this Indenture; or 

(10)    provide for the issuance of exchange securities which shall have terms
substantially identical in all respects to the Notes (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the Notes shall be modified or eliminated as appropriate) and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Notes, as a single class of
securities. 
 After an amendment or supplement under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to send to
the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplement. 

  
 -100- 

 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of
Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 12.04, the Trustee shall join with the Company 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 shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the
Notes 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, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for. Notes), and, subject to Section 6.04 and 6.07, any past Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal aggregate amount
of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with the purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for. Notes). Section 2.10 and Section 2.11 shall
determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.

Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 12.04, the Trustee shall join with the Company 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 shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such
Holder’s Notes shall not be rendered invalid by such tender. 
 After an amendment or supplement under this
Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement; provided that the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice will not impair
or affect the validity of the amendment or supplement. 
 Without the consent of each adversely affected Holder of Notes, an
amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

  
 -101- 

 (1)    reduce the amount of Notes whose
Holders must consent to an amendment; 
 (2)    reduce the stated rate of interest or
extend the stated interest payment date of the Notes; 
 (3)    reduce the principal of
or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; 
 (4)    waive a Default or Event of Default
in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to a
nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

(5)    reduce the premium payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any Note or change
the time at which any Note may be redeemed or repurchased as described above under Section 3.07, Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise (except
amendments to the definition of “Change of Control”); 
 (6)    make any Note
payable in money other than that stated in the Note; 
 (7)    otherwise impair the right
of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

 (8)    make any change in the amendment provisions that require each Holder’s
consent or in the waiver provisions. 
 Section 9.03    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture
that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04    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 waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

  
 -102- 

 Section 9.05    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment,
supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.06    Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04, 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 and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions (including Section 9.03). 

Section 9.07    Payment for Consent. 

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

 SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01    Satisfaction and Discharge.

(1)    either: 

  
 -103- 

 (a)    all Notes that have been
authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the

 (b)    all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(2)    the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default

(3)    the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this
Indenture; 
 (4)    the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee
under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be, then the Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes on
demand of the Company (accompanied by an Officers ‘ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with) and at the
cost and expense of the Company; and 
 (5)    if U.S. Government Obligations shall have
been deposited in connection with such satisfaction and discharge, then as a further condition to such satisfaction and discharge, the Trustee shall have received a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants to the
effect set forth in Section 8.04(1). 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause 11.01(1)(b) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. 

Section 11.02    Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 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 

  
 -104- 

 
the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest 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. 
 If the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 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 Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made
any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.000% per annum from February 28, 2018 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on August 28 and February 28 of each year, or if any such day is not a

2.    METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are Holders at the
close of business on August 15 and February 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment
Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the

conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated
and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 5.000% Senior Notes due 2020 referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2020
issued under the Indenture on February 28, 2018 (herein called “Initial Notes”) and (ii) if and when issued, additional 5.000% Senior Notes due 2020 of the Company that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture
subsequent to February 28, 2018 (herein called “Additional Notes”) as provided in Section 2.01(a) of the Indenture. The Initial Notes, Additional Notes and Unrestricted Global Notes are treated as a single class of
securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain covenants as specified in Article 4 thereof. The Indenture also imposes requirements with respect to the provision of financial information. 

5.    OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a)    Except as described below under clause 5(b), the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s
option before February 28, 2019. 
 (b)    At any time prior to February 28, 2019, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice sent to each Holder’s registered address, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as
of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

(c)    On and after February 28, 2019, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or, from time to
time, a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the applicable redemption
date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

(d)    Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture. 
 6.    MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company shall not be
required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

7.    NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Subject to Section 3.09 of the Indenture, the Company shall deliver, or
cause to be delivered, notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC,
except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is 

  
 A-7 

 
issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 of the Indenture. Except as set forth in Section 4.14 of the Indenture, notices of redemption may not be conditional. Notes and portions of
Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 on excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding
amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Subject to Section 3.05 of the Indenture, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or
portions of Notes called for redemption. Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering. 
 8.    OFFERS TO
REPURCHASE. 
 (a)    If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem
all of the Notes as described under Section 3.07 of the Indenture, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a
purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on
the relevant Interest Payment Date). 
 (b)    On the 366th day after the later of the date of
consummation of an Asset Sale and the receipt of Net Available Cash with respect thereto, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5,000,000, the Company shall be required to make an offer (an “Asset
Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company to
make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sale, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Sale Offer applies that may be purchased out of
the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in denominations of $2,000 and larger integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu
Indebtedness so properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee, in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures, shall select
the Notes, and the Company, trustee or agent for the Pari Passu Indebtedness shall select the Pari Passu Indebtedness, to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness.
Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 Holders electing to have
a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” 

  
 A-8 

 
attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, the Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least
three days before the Asset Sale Purchase Date. 
 9.    DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER EXCHANGE. The Notes are
in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 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 Holders shall be required to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 10.    PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. A Holder may be treated as its owner
for all purposes. 
 11.    AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 
 12.    DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. 

(a)    If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice in writing specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice” to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest
shall be due and payable immediately. 
 (b)    In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the
Notes because an Event of Default arising from certain defaults under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee exists as of the
Issue Date or is created after the Issue Date, has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to such Event of Default shall be
remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the
Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the
acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 

  
 A-9 

 (c)    If an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency occurs and is continuing occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Holders. 
 (d)    The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may waive all past defaults (except with respect to a continuing Default or Event of Default with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes) and rescind any such acceleration with
respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. 

(e)    If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each
Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of Trust Officers of
the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers
thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. 
 13.    AUTHENTICATION. This Note
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. 

14.    [RESERVED]. 

15.    GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE
AND THE NOTES. 
 16.    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.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[        ] principal amount of

Taxpayer ID Number: 

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 

1.    We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount
of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic
risk of our or its investment. 

  
 C-1 

 2.    We understand that the Notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise
transfer such Notes prior to the date that is two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the
“Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements
of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”). to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB
and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an
institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited
investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any
requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on
resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall
deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee
reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other
