Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee

Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under the

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

Section 2.08. CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “CINS”
numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers. 

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

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

  
 35 

 (3) Agent Members will have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any
Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any
action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any
security. 
 (4) If (w) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice, (x) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor Depositary is not
appointed within 90 days, (y) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from
the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such
beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled. If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the
Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder of any such Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial
interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like
tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder. 
 (c) Each Certificated Note will be
registered in the name of the Holder thereof or its nominee. 
 (d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to
another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an
exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.10. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register
maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that: 

  
 36 

 (x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such
register, and 
 (y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Note for a
period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of
a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding
Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents will
treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. 

From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration
of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section. 
 No service charge will be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)). 
 (e) (1) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial
interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal
amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in
another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to
all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 

  
 37 

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

(4) Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated
Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or
exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or
unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
 Section 2.10.
Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange. (a) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial
interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence. 

  
 38 

 (b) Subject to Section 2.10(c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial
interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the

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

completed Rule 144A Certificate, (y) a duly completed Regulation S Certificate or (z) a duly completed Accredited Investor Certificate, and/or an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably
require in order to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange
is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed
Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does
not bear the Restricted Legend. 

  
 39 

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

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

(1) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision);
provided that the Company has provided the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate to that effect, and the Company and Trustee may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (1) an opinion
of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate; or 
 (2)(x) sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise or (y) which is validly tendered for exchange into an Exchange Note pursuant to an Exchange Offer. 

Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend. 

(d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a
Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee. 

  
 40 

 Section 2.11. Temporary Offshore Global Notes. (a) Each Note originally sold by
the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Notes that bear the Temporary Offshore Global Note Legend. 

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

ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION; OFFER TO PURCHASE 

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time,
and from time to time, on and after September 15, 2016 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing September 15 of the years indicated
below, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption: 

  
 41 

					
	 Year
	  	Redemption Price	 
	 2016
	  	 	104.406	% 
	 2017
	  	 	102.938	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.469	% 
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 At any time prior to September 15, 2016, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, by paying a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the
applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate either the Applicable Premium or the
Treasury Rate used in the calculation of the Applicable Premium. 
 Section 3.02. Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings. At
any time, or from time to time, on or prior to September 15, 2016, the Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of
105.875% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that: 

(1) at least 65% of the principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date remain
outstanding immediately after such redemption; and 
 (2) the Company makes such redemption not more than 90 days after the
consummation of any such Equity Offering. 
 Section 3.03. Method and Effect of Redemption. (a) If the Company elects to
redeem Notes, it must notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officers’ Certificate at least 30 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the
Trustee). In the event that the Company chooses to redeem less than all of the Notes, the Officers’ Certificate must also specify a record date not less than 15 days after the date the notice of redemption is given to the Trustee, and selection
of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee either: 
 (1) in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed; or, 

  
 42 

 (2) on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; 
 subject, in each case, to DTC procedures for Global Notes where the Depositary is DTC. 

No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of the Notes or
portions of Notes to be called for redemption. If a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, the Trustee will select the Notes only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable
(subject to DTC procedures) unless such method is otherwise prohibited. Notice of redemption will be delivered by the Company, or at the Company’s request, by the Trustee, in the name and expense of the Company, at least 30 but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address; provided, that at least 45 days notice must be provided to the Trustee, unless a shorter period is agreed to in advance by the Trustee. Unless
the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

(b) The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or state the following: 

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued interest; 

(3) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for redemption; 

(4) Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect the redemption price; 

(5) on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on
Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (6) if any Note is redeemed in part, on
and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued; and 

(7) if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS
number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. 

  
 43 

 (c) Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due and
payable at the redemption price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Company shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price. Commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue
interest. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note. 

Section 3.04. Offer to Purchase. This section sets out rules governing Offers to Purchase made pursuant to Section 4.13 and
Section 4.14. “Offer to Purchase” means an offer to purchase Notes by the Company, from the Holders commenced by mailing a notice to the Trustee and each Holder stating: 

(1) the covenant pursuant to which the offer is being made and that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment on
a pro rata basis; 
 (2) the purchase price and the date of purchase (which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30
days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (“Payment Date”); 
 (3) that any Note not
tendered will continue to accrue interest pursuant to its terms; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of
the purchase price, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer to Purchase shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Payment Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to the Offer to Purchase will be required to surrender the Note,
together with the form entitled “Option of the Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse side of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Payment Agent receives,
not later than the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase and a statement
that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased; and 

  
 44 

 (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new
Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any higher integral multiple of $1,000 thereof. 

On the Payment Date, in connection with an Offer to Purchase, the Company shall 

 

	 	•	 	accept for payment on a pro rata basis Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase; 

  

	 	•	 	deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted; and 

  

	 	•	 	promptly thereafter deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee all Notes or portions thereof so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate specifying the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment
by the Company. 

 The Trustee shall not have any duty to determine the amount to be deposited in connection with an Offer to
Purchase. 
 The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and
the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Note surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal
amount of $2,000 and any higher integral multiple of $1,000. The Company shall publicly announce the results of an Offer to Purchase as soon as practicable after the Payment Date. The Company shall comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable, in the event that the Company is required to repurchase Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase.

initially designates the office of the Trustee located at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, NY 10005 as such office of the Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served to the
Trustee. 

  
 46 

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Notes may be surrendered or presented for any of such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of
any such other office or agency. 
 Section 4.03. Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective organizational documents, and the material rights, licenses and franchises of the Company and each

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

  
 47 

 Section 4.06. Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(1) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness if, immediately after giving
effect to the Incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis
determined in accordance with GAAP would be greater than 60% of Adjusted Total Assets. 
 (2) The Company will not, and will not permit any

(3) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided that the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would be at least 2.0 to 1. 
 (4) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1), (2) or (3), the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur each and all of the following:

	 	(ii)	any other Restricted Subsidiary, provided that if the Company or any Guarantor is an obligor, the Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; 

provided that any event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent
transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (B); 

  
 48 

 (C) Indebtedness outstanding as of the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness
pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph (4));

amount not to exceed the amount so refinanced or refunded (plus premiums, accrued interest, fees and expenses); provided that Indebtedness the proceeds of which are used to refinance or refund Indebtedness that ranks subordinate in
right of payment to, the Notes shall be permitted under this clause (D) only if: 
  

	 	(i)	such new Indebtedness, by its terms or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such new Indebtedness is issued or remains outstanding, is expressly made subordinate in right of payment to the Notes
at least to the extent that the Indebtedness to be refinanced is subordinated to the Notes; and 

  

	 	(ii)	such new Indebtedness, determined as of the date of Incurrence of such new Indebtedness, does not mature prior to the Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded, and the Average Life of such new
Indebtedness is at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded; and 

provided, further that in no event may Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor that ranks equally with or
subordinate in right of payment to the Notes be refinanced by means of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this clause (D); 

(E) Indebtedness: 
  

	 	(i)	in respect of performance, surety or appeal bonds provided in the ordinary course of business, 

  
 49 

	 	(ii)	constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, unemployment or other insurance or self-insurance obligations or other Indebtedness with respect
to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims, or self-insurance obligations; provided that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed

	 	(iv)	under Currency Agreements and Interest Rate Agreements; provided that such agreements (i) are designed solely to protect the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries against fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates or interest rates and (ii) do not increase the Indebtedness of the obligor outstanding at any time other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates or by reason of fees,
indemnities and compensation payable thereunder, and 

  

	 	(v)	arising from agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, or from Guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any obligations of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to such agreements, in any case Incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person
acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition), in a principal amount not to exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company or any of its Restricted

encumbrances or restrictions that are then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced;

 (c) Nothing contained in this Section 4.10 shall prevent the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary from restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

Section 4.11. Limitation on Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
(including a newly created or acquired one), directly or indirectly, to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (“Guaranteed Indebtedness”), unless: 

(1) if such Restricted Subsidiary is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary executes and delivers a supplemental
indenture to the Indenture providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary within ten (10) Business Days; and 
 (2)
such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a
result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Subsidiary Guarantee; 
 provided that this paragraph shall not be applicable to any
Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. If the Guaranteed

Guaranteed Indebtedness shall rank equally with, or subordinate to, the Subsidiary Guarantee; or 
 (b) is subordinate in right of payment to
the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee, then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee.

 Section 4.12. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including, without limitations, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service)
with any Affiliate of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such
transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefore, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not such an Affiliate. 

The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to: 

(1) transactions for which the Company delivers to the Trustee a Board Resolution of the Company approved by a majority of the independent
members of the Board of Directors; 
 (2) any transaction solely among Holdings, the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
solely among Restricted Subsidiaries;

(4) any Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments not prohibited by Section 4.09; 

(5) transactions pursuant to agreements or arrangements in effect on the Issue Date or any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or
replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries than the original agreement or arrangement
in existence on the Issue Date; 
 (6) director’s fees and any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or reasonable
and customary indemnification arrangements, entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with officers, directors and employees of Holdings, the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Affiliates of the Company or its
Restricted Subsidiaries and the payment of compensation to such officers, directors and employees (including amounts paid or securities issued pursuant to employee benefit plans, employee stock option or similar plans), or loans and advances to any
officer, director or employee, so long as such agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors; 

  
 61 

 (7) commission, payroll, travel and similar advances or loans (including payment or cancellation
thereof) to officers and employees of Holdings, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (8) sales of Equity Interests (other
than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates;

consummation of such transaction that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction; or 
 (10) any transaction with a joint venture,
partnership, limited liability company or other entity that would constitute an Affiliate transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or
other entity. 
 Section 4.13. Limitation on Asset Sales. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale, unless: 
 (1) the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is at
least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or disposed of, and 
 (2) at least 75% of the consideration received consists of
cash or Temporary Cash Investments; provided that, with respect to the sale of one or more real estate properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of Indebtedness of the purchaser of such real estate properties so long as such
Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the real estate property or properties sold; and provided, further that, for purposes of this clause (2) the amount of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(a) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets but, except in the case of an Asset Sale to a
Restricted Subsidiary, only to the extent of the reduction in the amount of such liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet; and 

  
 62 

 (b) any securities or other obligations received by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any
such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are immediately converted by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (or as to which the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary has
received at or prior to the consummation of the Asset Sale a commitment (which may be subject to customary conditions) from a nationally recognized investment, merchant or commercial bank to convert into cash within ninety (90) days of the
consummation of such Asset Sale and which are thereafter actually converted into cash within such 90-day period). 
 In the event that the
Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from one or more Asset Sales occurring on or after the Issue Date in any period of twelve consecutive months (the “Asset Period”) exceeds 1% of Total Assets
(determined as of the date closest to the commencement of the Asset Period for which a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is available), then within twelve (12) months after the date Net Cash Proceeds
exceed 1% of Total Assets as described above, the Company shall or shall cause the excess amount to be applied to: 
 (A) permanently reduce
Secured Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, in each case owing to a Person other than Holdings, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or

 (B) make a capital expenditure or invest in property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type or that are used in a
business (or in a Restricted Subsidiary, or a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary upon such an Investment, having property and assets of a nature or type, or engaged in a business) similar or related to the nature or type of the property and
assets of, or the business of, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the date of such capital expenditure or investment (or enter into a definitive agreement committing to make such capital expenditure or so invest within 12
months after the date of such agreement). 
 Pending the application of any such Net Cash Proceeds as described above, the Company may
invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. The amount of such excess Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be applied) during such 12-month period as set forth in the preceding
sentence and not applied as so required by the end of such period shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”. If, as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not previously subject to an Offer to
Purchase pursuant to this Section 4.13 totals more than $25 million, the Company must commence, not later than the fifteenth Business Day of such month, and consummate an Offer to Purchase from the Holders of the

  
 63 

 
Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with
the proceeds of sales of assets, on a pro rata basis, an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and
such other Indebtedness plus, in each case, accrued interest and Additional Interest (if any) to the Payment Date. 
 If the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, then the Notes and the other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the
Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of the Notes and the other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes tendered. Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, any remaining Excess Proceeds subject to
such Offer to Purchase will no longer be deemed to be Excess Proceeds. 
 Section 4.14. Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of
Control. (a) Unless the Company has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all existing Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 and all conditions precedent applicable to such redemption notice have been
satisfied, the Company must commence, within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, and consummate an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus
accrued interest and Additional Interest (if any) to the Payment Date. 
 (b) The Company will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase
upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to an Offer to Purchase made by the Company and purchases all
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Offer to Purchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, an Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a
definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Offer to Purchase. 
 (c) The Company will comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.
To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws or regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

is required, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of the time periods specified in those sections with: 
 (1) all quarterly

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company and Holdings were required to file
such reports, 
 provided that the foregoing delivery requirements shall be deemed satisfied if the foregoing materials are available on the
SEC’s EDGAR system or any successor system or on the Company’s or Holdings’ website within the applicable time period. 
 (b)
In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, Holdings will, and, after the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, in either case with respect to the Original Notes, the Company will, if
the SEC will accept the filing, file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.15(a) with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the
Commission’s rules and regulations. In addition, the Company and Holdings will make the information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. If the Company had any Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the
relevant period, the Company will also provide to the Trustee and the Holders information sufficient to ascertain the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding in all respects the
Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 (c) For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under
Rule 144, the Company and Holdings will furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

  
 65 

 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and Holdings will not be deemed
to have failed to comply with any provision of the reporting covenant in Section 4.15(b) for purposes of clause (4) of Section 6.01 as a result of the late filing or provision of any required information or report until 90 days after
the date any such information or report was due. 
 (e) All obligors on the Notes will comply with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture
Act. 
 (f) Delivery of these reports and information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of
them will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.16. Reports to Trustee. (a) The Company and Holdings will
deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year a certificate from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company and Holdings stating that such officers have conducted or supervised a review of the
activities of the Company, Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries and their performance under the Indenture and that, based upon such review, the Company and Holdings have fulfilled all obligations hereunder or, if there has been a Default in
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such Default and its nature and status. 
 (b) The Company and Holdings will deliver to
the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days after the Company or Holdings becomes aware or should reasonably become aware of the occurrence of a Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of the Default,
and the action which the Company and Holdings proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (c) The Company and Holdings will notify the Trustee
if and when any Notes are listed on any national securities exchange and of any delisting. 
 Section 4.17. Suspension of
Covenants. (a) For so long as (i) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by each of S&P and Moody’s (or, if either (or both) of S&P and Moody’s have been substituted in accordance with the definition of “Rating
Agencies,” by each of the then applicable Rating Agencies) and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively
referred to 

  
 66 

 
as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), and conditioned upon the Company promptly providing the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as to the existence of
a Covenant Suspension Event which identifies the date of such Covenant Suspension Event, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to (x) Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.11,
Section 4.12, Section 4.13 and clause (3) of Section 5.01 and (y) in clause (3) of Section 4.06 the reference to “2.0” shall be to “1.5” (the “Suspended Covenants”). 

(b) Additionally, during such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended, the Company will not be permitted to designate any
Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Company would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the covenants had been in effect for such period. 

(c) If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade rating or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and
is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and will be applicable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (including in
connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of the Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which
event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind
shall be deemed to exist under the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during
the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable
Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reinstatement Date, if any, is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

(d) The Company shall promptly provide the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as to the existence of a
Reinstatement Date which identifies the date of such Reinstatement Date; provided that in no case shall such Reinstatement Date be conditioned upon the receipt of such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

  
 67 

 (e) Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as
Restricted Payments under Section 4.09 will be made as though the covenants described under Section 4.09 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the
Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (C) of Section 4.09(a), to the extent set forth in such covenant. 

(f) The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor whether or not a Covenant Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date has occurred or if a
Suspension Period has commenced or ended, nor any duty to notify the noteholders of any of the foregoing. 
 Section 4.18. Sale of
Restricted Securities. Holdings and the Issuer will not, and will not permit any current or future Subsidiaries, and will use reasonable best efforts not to permit, any other affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to,
resell any of the Notes which constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 that have been reacquired by Holdings, the Issuer or any current or future Subsidiaries or any other “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act), except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 
 ARTICLE 5 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS 

Section 5.01. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets by the Company. The Company will not merge with or into, or sell, convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person to merge with or
into the Company unless: 
 (1) the Company shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets of the Company shall be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction
thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company on the Notes and under the Indenture; 

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  
 68 

 (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis the Company, or any
Person becoming the successor obligor of the Notes, as the case may be, (x) could Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of Section 4.06 or (y) has a Leverage Ratio that is no higher than the
Leverage Ratio of the Company immediately before giving effect to the transaction and any related Incurrence of Indebtedness; provided that this clause (3) shall not apply to a consolidation or merger of one or more Restricted
Subsidiaries with or into the Company so long as, in connection with any such merger or consolidation, no consideration (other than Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) in the surviving Person or the Company) shall be issued or distributed
to the holders of Capital Stock of the Company; and 
 (4) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (attaching the
arithmetic computations to demonstrate compliance with clause (3), if applicable) and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all
conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with; provided that clause (3) above does not apply if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution, the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of domicile of the Company, so long as any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations. 

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in accordance with the foregoing,
the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made, shall succeed to, be substituted for, and may exercise every one of the Company’s rights and powers under the Indenture
with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named therein as the Company and, except in the case of the lease or a sale or other transfer of less than all assets, the Company shall be released from the obligations under the Notes. 

Section 5.02. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets by a Guarantor. No Guarantor may merge with or into any Person, or sell,
convey, transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of the Guarantor’s assets, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person (other than the Company or another Guarantor), unless: 

(A) the other Person becomes a Guarantor concurrently with the transaction; or 

(B) (1) either (x) the Guarantor is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes by
supplemental indenture (or other joinder agreement, as applicable) all of the obligations of the Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and any Registration Rights Agreement; and 

  
 69 

 (2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is
continuing; or 
 (C) except in the case of Holdings, the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of
consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted or not prohibited by the Indenture.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantee of the Notes by a Guarantor shall be automatically released as set forth Section 10.03
and Section 10.09. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if

aggregate principal amount of the Notes; 
 (5) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness of the Company or Holdings
or any Significant Subsidiary having an outstanding principal amount of $35 million or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created: 

 

	 	(i)	an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not
been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration; and/or 

  
 70 

	 	(ii)	the failure to make a principal payment at the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default;

 (6) any final judgment or order (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $35 million in the
aggregate for all such final judgments or orders against all such Persons (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not covered by insurance): 
  

	 	(i)	shall be rendered against the Company or Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary and shall not be paid or discharged; and 

  

	 	(ii)	there shall be any period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all
such Persons to exceed $25 million during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; 

(7) a court having jurisdiction in the premises enters a decree or order for: 

 

	 	(i)	relief in respect of the Company or Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect;

	 	(ii)	consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or

 (9) the Note Guarantees of
Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would be a Significant Subsidiary cease, or the Holdings Guarantee of the Notes ceases, to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantees and the Indenture) or any Guarantor
notifies the Trustee in writing that it denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes. 
 Section 6.02.
Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default, other than a bankruptcy default with respect to the Company or Holdings, occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and Holdings (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued
interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest will become immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an
Event of Default set forth in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the Event of Default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause
(5) shall be remedied or cured by the Company, Holdings or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. If a bankruptcy
default occurs with respect to the Company or Holdings, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 (b) The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice
to the Company, Holdings and to the Trustee may waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if: 

  
 72 

 (1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and 

(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as
trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture. The Trustee may
maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. 
 Section 6.04.
Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Trustee, waive an existing Default and its
consequences. Upon such waiver, the Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
the Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other action it
deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on
Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Indenture or the Notes, unless: 

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

  
 73 

 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture; 

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs,
liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) during such 60-day
period, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request. 

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the right of a Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on its Note on or after the Stated Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without
the consent of that Holder. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or
interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining
unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. 

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any Guarantor or their respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable or
deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims. 

  
 74 

 
Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in the Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

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

Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest; and 
 Third: to the
Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and
payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then,
subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, any Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, any
Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 6.12. Undertaking
for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the
Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to

  
 75 

 
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Note on the
respective due dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 Section 6.13. Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under the Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by
law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent
assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy. 
 Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Guarantor covenants, to the extent that it may
lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or the
Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture. The Company
and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 7 

THE TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01. General. (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and as
set forth herein. Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article 7. 

  
 76 

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

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

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel
conforming to Section 11.05 and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the certificate or opinion. 

(3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any
agent appointed with due care. 
 (4) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested
in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 77 

 (5) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture. 

(6) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(7) No provision of the Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(8) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

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

(10) 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. 

(11) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations
hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, 

  
 78 

 
without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or
malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as
soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is
subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6): 

(a) “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within
seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and 

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

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of the
Indenture or the Notes, (ii) is not accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes, (iii) is not responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication and
(iv) shall not have any responsibility to monitor or ascertain validity or compliance of any transfers, exchanges or other transactions contemplated by the Indenture with any provisions of any state or federal securities laws including
exemptions therefrom. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee will send notice of the Default to each Holder within 90 days after it occurs, unless the Default has been cured; provided 

  
 79 

 
that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of directors of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. Notice to Holders under this Section will be given in the manner and to the extent provided in Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
 Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each February 15,
beginning with February 15, 2014, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such February 15, if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a), and file
such reports with each stock exchange upon which its Notes are listed and with the Commission as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). 

Section 7.07. Compensation And Indemnity. (a) The Company will pay the Trustee compensation as agreed upon in writing for its
services. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) The Company will
indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees for, and hold it harmless against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of the Indenture and its duties under the Indenture and the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its
officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under the Indenture and the Notes. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of the Indenture. 

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

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a) (1) The Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to the Company. 

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

  
 80 

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

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 (b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (c) Upon
delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, (i) the retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under the Indenture. Upon request
of any successor Trustee, the Company will execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The Company will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the
Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

(d) Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 will continue
for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

  
 81 

 (e) The Trustee agrees to give the notices provided for in, and otherwise comply with, Trust
Indenture Act Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act
will be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in the Indenture. 

Section 7.10. Eligibility. The Indenture must always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act
Section 310(a) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

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

ARTICLE 8

any reinvestment, to pay principal of and accrued interest on the Notes on the Stated Maturity of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes. 

  
 83

(3) The deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material agreement or
instrument 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. 

(4) The Company has delivered to the Trustee 

(A) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as
a result of the Company’s exercise of its option pursuant to this Section 8.02 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would otherwise have been the case if such deposit,
defeasance and discharge had not occurred, which Opinion of Counsel must be based upon (and accompanied by a copy of) a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect unless there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law

 84

Indenture (nor any Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee) will be discharged. Thereafter, the Trustee upon request will acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture (and
each Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee) except for the surviving obligations specified above. 
 Section 8.03.
Covenant Defeasance. After the 123rd day following the deposit referred to in clause (1), the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 4.06 through Section 4.15, inclusive, Section 4.17 and clauses (3) and

(2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would otherwise have been the case. 

Except as specifically stated above, none of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture will be discharged. 

Section 8.04. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.05, the Trustee will hold in trust the money or U.S.

with the Notes and the Indenture. Such money and U.S. Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 8.05. Repayment to Company. Subject to Sections 7.07, 8.01, 8.02 and 8.03, the Trustee will promptly pay to the Company
upon request any excess money held by the Trustee at any time and thereupon be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee will pay to the Company upon request any money held for payment with respect to the Notes that remains
unclaimed for two years, provided that before making such payment the Trustee may at the expense of the Company publish once in a newspaper of general circulation in New York City, or send to each Holder entitled to such money,

  
 85 

 
notice that the money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified in the notice (at least 30 days after the date of the publication or notice) any remaining unclaimed balance of money will
be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look solely to the Company for payment, unless applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee with respect to such money will
cease. 
 Section 8.06. Reinstatement. If and for so long as the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government
Obligations held in trust pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03 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 and the Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes will be reinstated as though no such deposit in trust had been made. If the Company or a Guarantor makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Notes
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, it will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust. 

ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 

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

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

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

  
 86 

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

(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; 

(8) to conform any provision of the Indenture to the “Description of the Notes” section contained in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum of the Company relating to the Notes dated September 10, 2013 as superseded, to the extent inconsistent, by the Pricing Term Sheet dated September 12, 2013; or 

(9) to make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder. 

Section 9.02. Amendments With Consent of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.04, 6.07 or
Section 9.02(b), the Company, Holdings and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not 

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note; 

(2) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note; 

(3) change the place of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note; 

(4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of a
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) of any Note; 
 (5) reduce the above-stated percentages of outstanding Notes the
consent of whose Holders is necessary to modify or amend the Indenture; 

  
 87 

 (6) waive a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on the Notes; 
 (7) voluntarily release a Guarantor of the Notes other than in accordance with the Indenture; 

(8) after the time an Offer to Purchase is required to have been made under Section 4.13 or Section 4.14 reduce the
purchase amount or price or extend the latest expiration date or purchase date thereunder; or 
 (9) reduce the percentage or
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults. 

(c) It is not necessary for Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if
their consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 will become effective on
receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will send to
the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.03. Effect of
Consent. (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the
consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder. 

(b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that
the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter
authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion. 

  
 88 

 Section 9.04. Trustee’s Rights and Obligations. The Trustee is entitled to
receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by the Indenture. If the Trustee has
received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver
that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture. 
 Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust
Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 9.06. Payments for Consents. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may, directly or indirectly,
pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such
consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or
amendment. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. The Guarantees. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, the full and punctual payment (whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, and all other amounts payable under, each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture. Upon failure by the Company to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall
forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the Indenture. 
 Section 10.02.
Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 

  
 89 

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

 (4) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may
have at any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with the Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or
compulsory counterclaim; 
 (5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of the
Indenture or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture;
or 
 (6) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other
circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 

Section 10.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any
other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to
such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 Section 10.04. Waiver by the
Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other
Person. 

  
 90 

 Section 10.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with
respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article 10, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not enforce
either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Notes remains
unpaid. 
 Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by
the Company under the Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors
hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders. 
 Section 10.07. Limitation on Amount of Guarantee.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a
fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. 
 Section 10.08. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.
The execution by each Guarantor of the Indenture (or a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor
still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in the Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 

Section 10.09. Release of Guarantee. (a) The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor other than Holdings will automatically
terminate upon: 
 (1) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor, or
the Capital Stock of the Guarantor such that the Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted or
not prohibited by the Indenture, 

  
 91 

 (2) the release of the Guarantees of all other Indebtedness by such Guarantor,
unless at the time of such release a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture; 

(3) the designation in accordance with the Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or 

(4) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03. 

(b) In addition, if on any date following the Issue Date, the Notes are rated Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies, and in connection
therewith each Rating Agency received written information from the Company stating that the release of all of the Guarantees will occur upon an Investment Grade rating, and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under
the Indenture on the date of such release, then, beginning on that date, the Guarantors will be automatically released from their obligations under the Guarantees; provided that as soon as possible following a Reinstatement Date, Holdings and
each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries who would have been required to Guarantee the Notes but for the foregoing, shall execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for the reinstatement of the Note Guarantee
by Holdings and a Subsidiary Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (c) Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note. Subject to paragraph (d), a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes, but only if the Trustee receives
the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver or other consequence of the act becomes effective. 
 (d) The Company may,
but is not obligated to, fix a record date (which need not be within the time limits otherwise prescribed by Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to act with respect to any amendment or waiver
or in any other regard, except that during the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Trustee may set a record date as to notices of default, any declaration or acceleration or any other remedies or other consequences of the Event of Default.
If a record date is fixed, those Persons that were Holders at such record date and only those Persons will be entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether or not those Persons continue to be Holders after the record date. No act will be
valid or effective for more than 90 days after the record date. 
 Section 11.03. Notices. (a) Any notice or communication
to the Company will be deemed given if in writing and mailed, sent by facsimile or delivered by hand within the time prescribed. Notices or communications to a Guarantor will be deemed given if given to the Company. Any notice to the Trustee will be
effective only upon receipt. In each case the notice or communication should be addressed as follows:

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statement or opinion
contained in the certificate or opinion is based;

has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable the person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with,
provided that an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers’ Certificate or certificates of public officials with respect to matters of fact. 

Section 11.06. Payment Date Other Than a Business Day. If any payment with respect to a payment of any principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on any Note (including any payment to be made on any date fixed for redemption or purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business Day, then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date, and no interest will accrue for the intervening period. 

Section 11.07. Governing Law. The Indenture, including any Note Guarantees, and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 Section 11.08. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. The

Section 11.09. Successors. All agreements of the Company or any Guarantor in the Indenture and the Notes will bind its successors.
All agreements of the Trustee in the Indenture will bind its successor.

 95 

 Section 11.11. Separability. In case any provision in the Indenture or in the Notes
is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 11.12. Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and
Sections of the Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of the Indenture and in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. 

Section 11.13. No Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators, Members and Stockholders. No recourse for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or Holdings in the
Indenture, or in any of the Notes or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling person of the Company, Holdings or the
Subsidiary Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof in their capacity as such. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all
such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control. 

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The original principal amount of the Notes is $600,000,000, but Additional Notes
may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class. This Note is guaranteed as set forth in the Indenture.

Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note. 

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

6. Amendment and Waiver. 
 Subject to
certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the
Company, Holdings and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect, omission or inconsistency.
