STRYKER CORPORATION

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

1.    The Options to purchase Shares of Stryker Corporation (the “Company”) granted to you during 2017 are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Nonstatutory Stock Options Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “Terms and Conditions”) and all of the terms and conditions of the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “2011 Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference.  In the case of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the 2011 Plan, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided therefor in the 2011 Plan.  

2.    Upon the termination of your service as a Director your right to exercise the Options shall be only as follows:

(a)    If your service as a Director is terminated by Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan or determined under local law), you or your estate (in the event of your death after termination by Retirement) shall have the right, at any time on or prior to the 10th anniversary of the grant date, to exercise the Options with respect to all or any part of the Shares subject thereto, regardless of whether the right to purchase Shares had vested on or before the date of your Retirement.

(b)    If your service as a Director is terminated by reason of Disability (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan or determined under local law) or death, you, your legal representative or your estate shall have the right, for a period of one year following such termination, to exercise the Options with respect to all or any part of the Shares subject thereto, regardless of whether the right to purchase such Shares had vested on or before the date of your termination by Disability or death.

(c)    If you cease to be a Director for any reason other than those provided in (a) or (b) above, you or your estate (in the event of your death after such termination) may, within the thirty (30)-day period following such termination, exercise the Options with respect to only such number of Shares as to which the right of exercise had vested on or before the Termination Date, which shall be the last day of your active service as a Director.

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options shall not be exercisable in whole or in part (i) after the 10th anniversary of the grant date or (ii) except as provided in Section 3(c) hereof or in the event of termination of service as a Director because of 

Page 2

Disability, Retirement or death, unless you shall have continued to serve as a Director for one (1) year following the date of grant of the Options.

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are eligible for Retirement but cease to be a Director for any other reason before you retire, the right to exercise the Options shall be determined as if your service as a Director ceased by reason of Retirement.

3.    The number of Shares subject to the Options and the price to be paid therefor shall be subject to adjustment and the term and exercise dates hereof may be accelerated as follows:

(a)    In the event that the Shares, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Shares shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend or a dividend on the Shares of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Share theretofore subject to the Options the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed, or for which each such Share shall be exchanged, or to which each such Share shall be entitled.  The Options shall also be appropriately amended as to price and other terms as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events.  In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall have been exchanged, then if the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the Options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.

(b)    Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the Options may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion.  Notice of any adjustment will be given to you and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes hereof.

(c)    The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend the Options to permit the exercise of the Options (and to terminate any unexercised Options) prior to the effectiveness of (i) any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) the shutdown, discontinuance of operations or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other unrelated corporation.

4.    To exercise the Options, you must complete the exercise procedures as established through UBS, the outsourced stock plan administration vendor, at www.ubs.com/onesource/SYK or by telephone at +1 860 727 1515 (or such other direct dial-in number that may be established from time to time).  As part of such procedures, you shall be required to specify the number of Shares that you elect to purchase and the date on which such purchase is to be made, and you shall be required to make full payment of the Exercise Price.  An Option shall not be deemed to have been exercised (i.e., the exercise date shall not be deemed to have occurred) until the notice of such exercise and payment in full 

Page 3

of the Exercise Price are provided.  The exercise date will be defined by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading hours. If an exercise is completed after the market close or on a weekend, the exercise will be dated the next following trading day.
 The Exercise Price may be paid in such manner as the Board of Directors may specify from time to time in its sole discretion and as established through UBS, including (but not limited to) the two following methods: (i) by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of purchase sufficient to cover the aggregate Exercise Price, or (ii) cash payment.  In cases where you utilize the net exercise arrangement and the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the aggregate Exercise Price, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable.
5.    Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Options, including the grant of the Options, the vesting of the Options, the exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Options and the receipt of any dividends and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.  Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.
Prior to the delivery of Shares upon exercise of your Options, if your country of residence (and/or the country services as a director occur, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Options that have an aggregate Fair Market Value that the Company, taking into account local requirements and administrative issues, determines in its sole discretion is appropriate to cover withholding for Tax-Related Items with respect to the Shares.  The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items.  In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld at the time of exercise is greater than the amount required to be paid to the relevant government authorities with respect to withholding for Tax-Related Items, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable.  Alternatively, the Company may withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from your director fees or other amounts payable to you.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through your director fees or other amounts payable to you by the Company, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) upon exercise of the Options unless and until satisfactory arrangements have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, 

Page 4

should be withheld or collected with respect to such Options.  By accepting these Options, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from your director fees or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to the Options and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.

6.    The Options are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The 2011 Plan and these Terms and Conditions shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that these Terms and Conditions are subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion, and without your consent, amend these Terms and Conditions to cause them to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A. 

7.    The Options shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you.  If you purport to make any transfer of the Options, except as aforesaid, the Options and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.

8.    If you are resident outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Options, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Options) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence.  In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.  Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.

9.    If you are resident in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Options and these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”).  To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

10.    The Options shall not be exercisable in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares subject to the Options, if such exercise and sale would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. statute having similar requirements as it may be in effect at the 

Page 5

time.  The Options are subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares subject to the Options under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Options, the Options may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors.

11.    The grant of the Options shall not confer upon you any right to serve as a Director nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate your service as a Director at any time.  You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Options until the date of issuance of such Shares.

12.    You acknowledge and agree that the 2011 Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time.  The grant of the Options under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of stock options or benefits in lieu of stock options in the future.  Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, the vesting provisions and the exercise price.  Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011 Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your service as a Director of the Company.

13.    Your participation in the 2011 Plan is voluntary. 
14.    These Terms and Conditions shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and your estate in the event of your death.

15.    The Company hereby notifies you of the following in relation to your personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the grant of the Options and your participation in the 2011 Plan pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws.  The collection, processing and transfer of your personal data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the 2011 Plan and your participation in the 2011 Plan, and your denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may affect your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.  As such, you voluntarily acknowledge, consent and agree (where required under applicable law) to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein.  
    
The Company holds certain personal information about you, including (but not limited to) your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), nationality, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor for the purpose of managing and administering the 2011 Plan (“Data”).  The Data may be provided by you or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your 

Page 6

participation in the 2011 Plan.  The data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence.  Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such information is unnecessary for the processing purposes sought.  The Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the 2011 Plan and for your participation in the 2011 Plan.

The Company will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of your participation in the 2011 Plan, and the Company may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the 2011 Plan.  These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, the United States or elsewhere throughout the world.  You hereby authorize (where required under applicable law) the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the 2011 Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the 2011 Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on your behalf to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the 2011 Plan.  

You may, at any time, exercise your rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data and (d) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data that is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the 2011 Plan and your participation in the 2011 Plan.  You may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Company's HR department.

16.  The grant of the Options is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence.  The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law).  No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you on whether you should purchase Shares under the 2011 Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of your Options. Investment in Shares involves a degree of risk.  Before deciding to purchase Shares pursuant to the Options, you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the 2011 Plan and the disposition of them.  Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the Options and the 2011 Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.
    
17.    All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the Options and the 2011 Plan shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the state of Michigan, without regard to the application of the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.  Any 

Page 7

disputes regarding the Options or the 2011 Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the state of Michigan.

18.    The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Options or other awards granted to you under the 2011 Plan by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the 2011 Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

19.    The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions.  

20.    If you are resident outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Options be drawn up in English.  If you have received these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan or any other documents related to the Options translated into a language other than English and, if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.  

21.    Notwithstanding any provisions of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if your country of residence is Belgium, the Options shall be subject to the  special terms and conditions in the addendum to these Terms and Conditions (an “Addendum”).  Further, if you transfer your residence to a country that at the time of transfer has special terms and conditions for option grants, those special terms and conditions will apply to you to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such special terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award and the 2011 Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer).  In all circumstances, any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of these Terms and Conditions.
22.     The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Options, any Shares acquired pursuant to the Options and your participation in the 2011 Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award and the 2011 Plan.  Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

STRYKER CORPORATION

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

1.    The Options to purchase Shares of Stryker Corporation (the “Company”) granted to you during 2016 are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Nonstatutory Stock Options Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Terms and Conditions”) and all of the terms and conditions of the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference.  In the case of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the 2011 Plan, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided therefor in the 2011 Plan.  

2.    Upon the termination of your service as a Director your right to exercise the Options shall be only as follows:

(a)    If your service as a Director is terminated by Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan or determined under local law), you or your estate (in the event of your death after termination by Retirement) shall have the right, at any time on or prior to the 10th anniversary of the grant date, to exercise the Options with respect to all or any part of the Shares subject thereto, regardless of whether the right to purchase Shares had vested on or before the date of your Retirement.

(b)    If your service as a Director is terminated by reason of Disability (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan or determined under local law) or death, you, your legal representative or your estate shall have the right, for a period of one year following such termination, to exercise the Options with respect to all or any part of the Shares subject thereto, regardless of whether the right to purchase such Shares had vested on or before the date of your termination by Disability or death.

(c)    If you cease to be a Director for any reason other than those provided in (a) or (b) above, you or your estate (in the event of your death after such termination) may, within the thirty (30)-day period following such termination, exercise the Options with respect to only such number of Shares as to which the right of exercise had vested on or before the Termination Date, which shall be the last day of your active service as a Director.

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options shall not be exercisable in whole or in part (i) after the 10th anniversary of the grant date or (ii) except as provided in Section 3(c) hereof or in the event of termination of service as a Director because of Disability, Retirement or death, unless you shall have continued to serve as a Director for one (1) year following the date of grant of the Options.

Page 1

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are eligible for Retirement but cease to be a Director for any other reason before you retire, the right to exercise the Options shall be determined as if your service as a Director ceased by reason of Retirement.

3.    The number of Shares subject to the Options and the price to be paid therefor shall be subject to adjustment and the term and exercise dates hereof may be accelerated as follows:

(a)    In the event that the Shares, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Shares shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend or a dividend on the Shares of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Share theretofore subject to the Options the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed, or for which each such Share shall be exchanged, or to which each such Share shall be entitled.  The Options shall also be appropriately amended as to price and other terms as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events.  In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall have been exchanged, then if the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the Options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.

(b)    Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the Options may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion.  Notice of any adjustment will be given to you and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes hereof.

(c)    The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend the Options to permit the exercise of the Options (and to terminate any unexercised Options) prior to the effectiveness of (i) any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) the shutdown, discontinuance of operations or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other unrelated corporation.

4.    To exercise the Options, you must complete the exercise procedures as established through UBS, the outsourced stock plan administration vendor, at www.ubs.com/onesource/SYK or by telephone at +1 860 727 1515 (or such other direct dial-in number that may be established from time to time).  As part of such procedures, you shall be required to specify the number of Shares that you elect to purchase and the date on which such purchase is to be made, and you shall be required to make full payment of the Exercise Price.  An Option shall not be deemed to have been exercised (i.e., the exercise date shall not be deemed to have occurred) until the notice of such exercise and payment in full of the Exercise Price are provided.  The exercise date will be defined by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading hours. If an exercise is completed after the market close or on a weekend, the exercise will be dated the next following trading day.

Page 2

 The Exercise Price may be paid in such manner as the Board of Directors may specify from time to time in its sole discretion and as established through UBS, including (but not limited to) the two following methods: (i) by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of purchase sufficient to cover the aggregate Exercise Price, or (ii) cash payment.  In cases where you utilize the net exercise arrangement and the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the aggregate Exercise Price, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable.
5.    Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Options, including the grant of the Options, the vesting of the Options, the exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Options and the receipt of any dividends and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.  Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.
Prior to the delivery of Shares upon exercise of your Options, if your country of residence requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Options that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares.  In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable.  The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items.  Alternatively, the Company may withhold the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from your director fees or other amounts payable to you.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through your director fees or any other amounts payable to you, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) upon exercise of the Options unless and until satisfactory arrangements have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Options.  By accepting these Options, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or the withholding from your director fees or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to the Options and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.
6.    The Options are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The 2011 Plan and these Terms and Conditions shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that these Terms and Conditions are subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion, and without your consent, amend these Terms and Conditions to cause them to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A. 

Page 3

7.    The Options shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you.  If you purport to make any transfer of the Options, except as aforesaid, the Options and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.

8.    If you are resident outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Options, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Options) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence.  In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.  Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.

9.    If you are resident in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Options and these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”).  To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

10.    The Options shall not be exercisable in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares subject to the Options, if such exercise and sale would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. statute having similar requirements as it may be in effect at the time.  The Options are subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares subject to the Options under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Options, the Options may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors.

11.    The grant of the Options shall not confer upon you any right to serve as a Director nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate your service as a Director at any time.  You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Options until the date of issuance of such Shares.

12.    You acknowledge and agree that the 2011 Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time.  The grant of the Options under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of stock options or benefits in lieu of stock options in the future.  Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, the vesting provisions and the exercise price.  Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011 Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your service as a Director of the Company.

14.    These Terms and Conditions shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and your estate in the event of your death.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

1.    The Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) with respect to Common Stock of Stryker Corporation (the “Company”) granted to you during 2016 are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Restricted Stock Units Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Terms and Conditions”) and all of the terms and conditions of the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference.  In the case of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the 2011 Plan, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided therefor in the 2011 Plan.

2.    Your right to receive the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs shall be only as follows:
    
(a)    If you continue to be a Director, you will receive the Shares underlying the RSUs that have become vested as soon as administratively possible following the vesting date as set forth in the award document.

(b)     If you cease to be a Director by reason of Disability (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan or determined under local law) or death prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested, you or your estate will become fully vested in your RSUs, and you, your legal representative or your estate will receive all of the underlying Shares as soon as administratively practicable following your termination by Disability or death.
    
(c)    If you cease to be a Director prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested for any reason other than those provided in (b) above, you shall cease vesting in your RSUs effective as of your Termination Date, which shall be the last day of your active service as a Director. 

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle your RSUs in the form of: (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (1) is prohibited under local law,(2) would require you or the Company to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence or (3) is administratively burdensome or (ii) Shares, but require you to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, the Company shall have the authority to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on your behalf).

Page 1

3.    The number of Shares subject to the RSUs shall be subject to adjustment and the vesting dates hereof may be accelerated as follows:

(a)    In the event that the Shares, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation
 (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Shares shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend or a dividend on the Shares of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Share theretofore subject to the RSUs the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed, or for which each such Share shall be exchanged, or to which each such Share shall be entitled.  The other terms of the RSUs shall also be appropriately amended as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events.  In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which such Shares shall have been exchanged, then if the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the RSUs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.

(b)    Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the RSUs may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion.  Notice of any adjustment will be given to you and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes hereof.

(c)    The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend the RSUs to permit the immediate vesting of the RSUs (and to terminate any unvested RSUs) and the distribution of the underlying Shares prior to the effectiveness of (i) any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) the shutdown, discontinuance of operations or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other unrelated corporation.

4.    If you are resident outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence.  In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.  Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.

5.    If you are resident in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the RSUs and these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”).  To the extent that a court or tribunal of 

Page 2

competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of the Terms and Conditions are invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

6.    Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company   (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.

Prior to the delivery of Shares upon the vesting of your RSUs, if your country of residence requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares.  In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable.  The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items.  Alternatively, the Company may withhold the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from your director fees or any other amounts payable to you.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares by the Company or through your director fees or other amounts payable to you, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) upon vesting of the RSUs unless and until satisfactory arrangements have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such RSUs.  By accepting this grant of RSUs, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from your director fees or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to the RSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.
    
7.    The RSUs are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The 2011 Plan and these Terms and Conditions shall be administered and interpreted 

Page 3

in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that these Terms and Conditions are subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion, and without your consent, amend these Terms and Conditions to cause them to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A. 
    
8.    The RSUs shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  If you purport to make any transfer of the RSUs, except as aforesaid, the RSUs and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.

9.    The RSUs shall not be vested in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares subject to the RSUs, if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. statute having similar requirements as it may be in effect at the time.  The RSUs are subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares subject to the RSUs under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance of shares pursuant to the RSUs, the RSUs may not be vested in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors.

10.    The grant of the RSUs shall not confer upon you any right to serve as a Director of the Company nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate your service as a Director at any time.  You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs until the date of issuance of such Shares.

11.     You acknowledge and agree that the 2011 Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time.  The grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or any other award under the 2011 Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future.  Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions.  Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011 Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your service as a Director of the Company.

12.    Your participation in the 2011 Plan is voluntary.  

13.    These Terms and Conditions shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and your estate in the event of your death.
    
14.    The Company hereby notifies you of the following in relation to your personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the grant of the RSUs and your participation in the 2011 Plan pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws.

such Voting Stock in substantially the same proportion as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to
that transaction or (y) holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such

action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by holders; provided that if such a record date is fixed,

be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization,

 

     -15-

     

    

direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such Global

party hereto in writing, and to each holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.01, on or prior to both the existing
and the new Expiration Date; provided further, that no Expiration Date shall be later than the 90th day after

the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an
Officer’s Certificate of the Company addressing such matters as the Trustee may reasonably request in connection with such
authentication of such Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for
such Additional Notes issued hereunder.

 

(d)       The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication
by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company.

 

(e)       The
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company
(a) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, and (b) Additional Notes,
and (c) any other Unrestricted Global Notes issued in exchange for any of the foregoing in accordance with this Indenture. Such
order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated,
whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes or other Unrestricted Global Notes and other information the Company
may determine to include or the Trustee may reasonably request.

 

Section 2.03
Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

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

 

(b)       The
Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee
to act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Company has entered
into a letter of representations with DTC in the form provided by DTC and the Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to
act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures.

 

     -17-

     

    

(c)       The
Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes and this Indenture, including but not limited
to determination of interest, redemption price, Applicable Premium, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts
payable on the Notes. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be
final and binding on the holders. The Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations
without independent verification.

 

Section 2.04
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

 

The Company
shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal and interest on any of the
Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the holders entitled
to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
so to act. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall
hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal and interest
on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues,
the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability
for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the
benefit of the holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

 

Section 2.05
Holder Lists.

 

The Trustee
shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses
of all holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall, upon request by the Company, furnish to the Trustee
at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a
list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders.

 

Section 2.06
Transfer and Exchange.

 

(a)       The
Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer
and in compliance with Appendix A.

 

(b)       To
permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

 

(c)       No
service charge shall be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.07),
but the holders shall be required to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other
than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06
and 9.04).

 

(d)       All
Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall
be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as
the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

     -18-

     

    

(e)       Neither
the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending
at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption,
or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with a Change of Control Offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange
any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

 

(f)       Prior
to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee,
any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

(g)       Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, or cause to be transferred by book entry, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of
a like aggregate principal amount.

 

(h)       At
the option of the holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate
principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, or cause to be
transferred by book entry, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled
to in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A.

 

(i)       All
certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to
effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission.

 

Section 2.07
Replacement Notes.

 

If a mutilated
Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Company shall issue and
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements
are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be provided by the holder that is sufficient
in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from
any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the holder for the expenses of the Company
and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

 

Section 2.08 Outstanding
Notes.

 

(a)       The
Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered
to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a

 

     -19-

     

    

Global
Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
holds the Note; provided that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company will not be deemed to be outstanding
for purposes of Section 3.07(b).

 

(b)       If
a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial
Code in effect in the State of New York.

 

(c)       On
or after the maturity date or any redemption date or date for purchase of the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, those
Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due will cease to be outstanding for all purposes under
this Indenture.

 

(d)       If
a Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption
date or any date of purchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or
purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to
accrue interest.

 

Section 2.09
Treasury Notes.

 

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

 

Section 2.10
Temporary Notes.

 

Until definitive
Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate
temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations.  Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may
be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes
under this Indenture.

 

Section 2.11
Cancellation.

 

The Company
at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of

 

     -20-

     

    

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

 

Section 2.12
Defaulted Interest.

 

(a)       If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes under Section 4.01 of this Indenture, it shall pay the defaulted interest
in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are holders on
a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the
date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted
interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment
date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted
interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record
date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall
mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed
or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary to each holder a notice
that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

 

(b)       Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or
in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which
were carried by such other Note.

 

Section 2.13
CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

 

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

 

ARTICLE

Redemption

 

Section
3.01 Notices to Trustee.

 

If the Company
elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least three Business Days before notice of
redemption is required to be mailed or sent to

 

     -21-

     

    

holders
pursuant to Section 3.03 but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the
Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (1) the redemption date, (2) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed
and (3) the redemption price, if then ascertainable. If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given,
the actual redemption price calculated as described in the terms of the Notes will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.

 

Section 3.02
Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

 

(a)       If
the Company is redeeming fewer than all the Notes at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes on a pro rata basis by
lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to be fair and appropriate; provided, however,
that Global Notes will be selected in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. In the event of partial redemption
or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the then outstanding Notes not previously
called for redemption or purchase.

 

(b)       The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any
Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions
of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called
for redemption or purchase.

 

(c)       After
the redemption date or purchase date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed or purchased in part only, a new Note or Notes in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Note, representing the same Debt to the extent
not redeemed or not purchased, shall be issued in the name of the holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or
appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption).

 

Section 3.03
Notice of Redemption.

 

(a)       The
Company shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause
to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) notices
of redemption of Notes not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder whose Notes are
to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed or sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date
if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11.

 

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

 

(1)       the
redemption date;

 

(2)       the
redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; provided that in connection
with a redemption under Section 3.07(a), the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation
thereof;

 

(3)       if
any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed;

 

     -22-

     

    

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

 

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

 

(6)       that,
unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date;

 

(7)       the
paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being
redeemed;

 

(8)       that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed
on the Notes; and

 

(9)       if
applicable, any condition to such redemption.

 

(c)       At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s
expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least three Business Days before notice of redemption
is required to be sent or caused to be sent to holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed
to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the notice to
be given as an exhibit thereto.

 

Section 3.04
Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once notice
of redemption is mailed or sent in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
on the redemption date at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in a manner herein
provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure
to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption
date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless subject to a condition precedent that
has not been satisfied. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the
Trustee prior to the close of business at least two Business Days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter period shall
be agreed to by the Trustee). Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded and the redemption of the
notes shall not occur. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each holder of the Notes in the same manner in which
the notice of redemption was given.

 

Section 3.05
Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

 

(a)       No
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date (or such later time as such date to which the Trustee
may reasonably agree), the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption
or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. If a Note is redeemed
or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid to the holder of record on such Record Date. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail (or wire transfer if applicable)
to each holder whose Notes are to be redeemed or repurchased the applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and
unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee
or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to

 

     -23-

     

    

pay
the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

 

(b)       If
the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease
to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after
a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or
purchase date in respect of such Note will be paid on such redemption or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note is
registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon
surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall
be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful,
on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided
in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

 

Section 3.06
Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

 

Upon surrender
of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee
shall promptly authenticate and mail to the holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company a
new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same Debt
to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only
an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate
such new Note.

 

Section 3.07 Optional
Redemption.

 

(a)       At
any time prior to November 15, 2024, the Company will be entitled, at its option, to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding the redemption date.

 

(b)       In
addition, on or after November 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

(c)       Any
redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06. Notice of any
such redemption must be mailed by first-class mail (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary) to each holder’s registered address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption
date. Calculation of the redemption price will be made by the Company or on its behalf by such person as the Company shall designate;
provided that such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

 

(d)       If
the optional redemption date is on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued
and unpaid interest in respect of Notes subject to redemption will be paid on the redemption date to the Person in whose name
the Note is registered at the close of business, on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to holders whose
Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

 

Section 3.08
Redemption for Tax Reasons.

 

     -24-

     

    

(a)       The
Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (including any Additional Amounts) at the Company’s
option at any time prior to their maturity if, due to a Change in Tax Law:

 

(1)       the
Company or a Guarantor, in accordance with the terms of the Notes or Guarantee, has, or would, become obligated to pay, on the
next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes or a Guarantee, any Additional Amounts to the holders
or beneficial owners of the Notes; and

 

(2)       such
obligation cannot be avoided by such Guarantor or the Company, taking reasonable measures available to it.

 

(b)       In
the case of a redemption pursuant to this Section 3.08, the Company may redeem the applicable Notes upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days’ notice as provided in Section 3.03 of this Indenture, at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (including Additional Amounts); provided
that (1) no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or such
Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay any such Additional Amounts in respect of the applicable Notes or applicable
Guarantee, as applicable, then due and (2) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains
in effect. The Company’s right to redeem the applicable Notes shall continue as long as the Company or a Guarantor is obligated
to pay such Additional Amounts, notwithstanding that the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have made payments
of Additional Amounts. Prior to the giving of any such notice of redemption, the Company must deliver to the Trustee: (i) an Officer’s
Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that
the conditions precedent to the right of the Company so to redeem have occurred; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel or an independent
accountant of recognized standing, selected by the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, with respect to tax matters of the
Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Company or such Guarantor has, or would, become obligated to pay such Additional
Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in which event they shall be conclusive
and binding on the noteholders.

 

(c)       For
purposes of this Section 3.08, “Change in Tax Law” means: (i) any changes in, or amendment to, any law of a
Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including any regulations or
rulings promulgated thereunder and including, for this purpose, any treaty entered into by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) or
any amendment to or change in the application or official interpretation (including judicial or administrative interpretation)
of such law, which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of an official interpretation, is announced, on or after
the Issue Date; or (ii) if the Company or a Guarantor consolidates, merges, amalgamates or combines with, or transfers or leases
all or substantially all its assets to, any person that is incorporated or tax resident under the laws of any jurisdiction other
than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (a “successor”) and as a consequence thereof such person becomes the successor
obligor to the Company or such Guarantor in respect of Additional Amounts that may become payable (in which case, for purposes
of this Section 3.08, all references to the Company or such Guarantor shall be deemed to be and include references to such person),

to effect such payment would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect (1)
upon the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries and (2) on the
ability of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations under the Notes or this Indenture.

 

Section 4.04
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

 

The Company
and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in

Section 4.06
SEC Reports.

 

     -27-

     

    

 

(a)       Notwithstanding
that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will
file with the SEC and make available to the Trustee and noteholders within 15 days after the Company would be required to file
with the SEC such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of
the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Company

(b)       The

the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with
any of the covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s
Certificates). The Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to in this section to the Trustee and the noteholders

reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available.

officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been
made under the supervision of the signing Officer, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the
best of his or her knowledge, the Company and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each covenant contained
in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the covenants of this Indenture (or, if a Default
shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company and each Guarantor
are taking or propose to take with respect thereto).

 

(b)       When
any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company will within 30 days after the occurrence thereof
send to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event, its status and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereof.

or instruments similar to the

(including obligations in respect of letters of credit or bank guarantees for the benefit of) insurance carriers providing property,
casualty or liability insurance, or good faith deposits in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than for the payment
of Debt) or leases to which such Person is a party, or deposits to secure public or statutory obligations of such Person or deposits

building codes or other restrictions (including minor defects and irregularities in title and similar encumbrances) as to the

does not extend to any property owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to such amalgamation,
merger, consolidation, sale, lease or disposition;

 

(6)       Liens
on property of a Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company;

secured by any such Lien shall have been obtained no later than 270 days after the later of (a) the completion of the acquisition,

further, that such Liens do not extend to any property other than such property subject to acquisition, construction, development
or improvement and accessions thereto and improvements thereon;

 

(9)       Liens
in favor of any Governmental Authority to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments;

or refunding, so secured at the time of such extension, renewal, replacement or refunding;

 

(11)       Liens
incurred in the ordinary course of business in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100.0 million;

 

(12)       Liens
in favor of the Notes and the Guarantees; and

(c)       Notwithstanding
the restrictions described above, the Company and any Subsidiaries of the Company may create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee
Debt secured by Liens without equally and ratably securing the Notes then outstanding if, at the time of such creation, incurrence,
issuance, assumption or guarantee, after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any Debt which is concurrently being retired,

(a)       Within
30 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each noteholder shall have the right to require that
the Company make an offer to purchase such noteholder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase.

 

(b)       If
the Change of Control purchase date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued

(c)       Within
30 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem

(4)       the
instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with the covenant described hereunder, that a noteholder must follow in
order to have its Notes purchased.

 

(d)       The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party

Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not

 

     -31-

     

    

withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer or if the Company has exercised its option to redeem all the Notes pursuant to the provisions described
in Section 3.07.

 

(e)       The
Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities
laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, the
Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the covenant described hereunder by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

 

(f)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering
Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control
at the time of making of such Change of Control Offer. In such case, the notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion,
the Change of Control purchase date may be delayed until such time as the Change of Control Triggering Event shall have occurred,
or such repurchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Change of Control Triggering Event shall
not have occurred by the Change of Control purchase date, or by the Change of Control purchase date as so delayed. If any such
repurchase shall be rescinded or delayed, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business
at least two Business Days prior to the Change of Control purchase date (unless a shorter period shall be agreed to by the Trustee).
Upon receipt of such notice, the Change of Control purchase date shall be rescinded or delayed, as applicable. Upon receipt, the
Trustee shall provide such notice to each holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of the Change of Control

Section 4.11
Section 4.11Sale/Leaseback Transactions.

 

The Company will not, and will
not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Property unless:

 

(1)       the
Sale/Leaseback Transaction is solely with the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company;

 

(2)       the
lease is for a period not in excess of 36 months (or which may be terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary), including renewals;

 

(3)       the
Company or such Subsidiary would (at the time of entering into such arrangement) be entitled as described in clauses (1)-(13) in
Section 4.08(b) without equally and ratably securing the Notes then outstanding under this Indenture, to create, incur, issue,
assume or guarantee Debt secured by a Lien on such Property in the amount of the Attributable Debt arising from such Sale/Leaseback
Transaction;

then
outstanding (not including any such Debt secured by Liens described in clauses (1)-(13) in Section 4.08(b) that are not equally

Section
4.12 Section 4.12Payment of Additional Amounts.

 

(a)       The
Company or, if applicable, each Guarantor (pursuant to the terms of the applicable Guarantee) (each, a “Payor”)
will make all payments of, or in respect of, principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payment pursuant to
the Guarantees, as the case may be, free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or
future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest, and other liabilities
related thereto) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected (“Taxes”) by or for the account of Bermuda,
the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is organized, or resident for tax purposes,
engaged in business for tax purposes or through which payment is made (or any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof
having the power to tax) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required
by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

 

(b)       If
a Payor is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold Taxes from any payment of principal, premium (if any)
and interest on the Notes, or any payments pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, such Payor will pay (together with
such payments) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received
in respect of such payments by the holder of such Note, after such deduction or withholding (including any such deduction or withholding
in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have received if such Taxes had not
been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that a Payor shall not be required to pay any Additional Amount for or on
account of:

 

(1)       any
Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that the holder or beneficial owner
of the applicable Note or Guarantee (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over,
such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) is or has been a domiciliary, national or resident
of, or engaging or having been engaged in a trade or business or maintaining or having maintained a permanent establishment or
being or having been physically present in, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise having or having had some connection with
a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of, or the collection of principal of, and premium (if any)
or interest on, a Note or the enforcement of the applicable Guarantee, as the case may be;

 

(2)       any
Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that, where presentation is required
in order to receive payment, the applicable Note or Guarantee was presented more than 30 days after the date on which such payment
became due and payable or was provided for, whichever is later except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner thereof
would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the applicable Note or Guarantee been presented for payment on any day during
such 30 day period;

 

(3)       any
estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

 

     -33-

     

    

(4)       any
Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on or in respect of the applicable Note or Guarantee;

 

(5)       any
Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the failure by the holder or the beneficial owner
of the applicable Note or Guarantee to comply with a written request addressed to the holders (A) to provide any certification,
identification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or the
beneficial owner or its connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (B) to make any valid or timely declaration or claim
or satisfy any other reporting, information or procedural requirements relating to such matters if, in either case, compliance
is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or
exemption from such Taxes;

 

(6)       any
withholding or deduction that is imposed on the applicable Note or Guarantee that is presented for payment, where presentation
is required, by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant
Note or Guarantee to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union (including; for the avoidance of doubt, any
replacement directive or law);

 

(7)       any
deduction or withholding arising on or in connection with FATCA; and

 

(8)       any
combination of the Taxes described in (1) through (7) above.

 

(c)       In
addition, Additional Amounts will not be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any of the
applicable Notes or Guarantees to any holder of the applicable Notes or Guarantees that is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited
liability company or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required
by the laws of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect
to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership, an interest holder in such limited liability company or a beneficial owner that
would not have been entitled to such amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member, interest holder or beneficial owner been the
holder of the relevant Notes or Guarantees.

 

(d)       The
Payor will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor will use reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax
receipts or such other reasonable evidence of the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction
imposing such Taxes. The Payor will furnish to the Trustee (or to a holder upon written request), within a reasonable time after
the date of the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, such certified copies or proof of payment. The Payor will
attach a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy or other proof of payment
was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding
Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Copies of such documentation will be available for inspecting during ordinary
business hours at the office of the Trustee by the holders of the Notes upon written request and will be made available at the
offices of the Paying Agent.

 

(e)       As
soon as reasonably practicable, prior to each Record Date preceding the related Interest Payment Date and each date on which any
other payment under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee thereof is due and payable, if the Payor will be obligated to
pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating
the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will furnish such other information necessary
to enable the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to holders

 

     -34-

     

    

on
the payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officer’s Certificate
addressing such matters. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for the determination,
verification or calculation of any Additional Amounts. Such Officer’s Certificate may be forwarded by the Trustee to the
registered holder and also upon written request to any holder.

 

(f)       Unless
otherwise stated, references in any context to the payment of principal of, and any premium or interest on, any Note, other payment
on or with respect to the Notes or any payment pursuant to the Guarantees, will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts
to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

 

(g)       The
Payor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement following the occurrence of any
event of default of any Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein for the avoidance of doubt, no Payor shall
be responsible for the payment or other discharge of such taxes, charges, or levies that arise as a result of or, in connection
with, any transfer, assignment or the disposition of the Notes (or any rights attaching thereto) by any holder.

 

(h)       The
foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis
to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized or any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof
or therein having the power to tax.

(7)       Debt
of the Company, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity
or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Debt unpaid or accelerated exceeds
$100.0 million (the “cross acceleration provision”);

 

(8)(i)the
Company or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

 

(A)       commences
voluntary proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(ii)       a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 

(A)       is

is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

 

     -37-

     

    

(B)       appoints
a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

final judgment or decree for the payment of money (other than judgments which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued
by solvent carriers) in excess of $100.0 million is entered against the Company, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary,
remains outstanding for a period of 60 consecutive days following such judgment becoming final and is not discharged, waived or

(10)       a
Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee) or a Guarantor denies
or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee.

 

However, a default under clauses (4),
(5), (6) and (9) of this Section 6.01 will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company (with a copy to the Trustee if given by the holders) of the default
and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. In the event of any Event of
Default specified under clause (7), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default,
other than as a result of acceleration of Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action
by the Trustee or the holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose: (a) holders thereof have rescinded or
waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (b) the default that
is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

 

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

 

(a)       If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes may by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if notice is given by the holders) declare the principal of and
accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration, such
principal, interest and premium, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(8)
hereof occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest (and premium, if any) on all the Notes will ipso facto become
and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders of the Notes.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee on behalf
of all of the holders may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

 

(b)       Subject
to Article 7, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the Notes unless such holders have
offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent
required by the terms of this Indenture.

 

Section 6.03
Other Remedies.

 

     -38-

     

    

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

 

The Trustee
may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the
extent permitted by law.

 

Section 6.04
Waiver of Past Defaults.

 

The holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all holders waive
any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except:

 

(1)       a
continuing Default in the payment of the principal or interest on any Note held by a non-consenting holder; and

 

(2)       a
Default with respect to a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected,

 

provided that, subject
to Section 6.06, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture,
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

 

The holders
of a majority in 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 of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial
to the rights of any other holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain
whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

 

Section 6.06
Limitation on Suits.

 

Subject to
Section 6.07, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

 

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

 

(2)       holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

(3)       such
holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

 

     -39-

     

    

(4)       the
Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity;
and

 

(5)       holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with
such request within such 60-day period.

 

A holder may not use this Indenture
to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another holder.

 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders
to Receive Payment.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest on or with respect to its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or
provided for in such Note, shall not be amended without the consent of such holder.

 

Section 6.08
Collection Suit by Trustee.

 

If an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against the Company and any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and interest
remaining unpaid on the Notes, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Trustee and its agents and counsel.

 

Section 6.09
Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

 

If the Trustee
or any holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such holder, then and in every such case, subject
to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the holders shall be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, Guarantors, Trustee
and the holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

 

Section 6.10 Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.

 

Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder,
or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 6.11 Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.

 

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

6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official
committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or

to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such fees and expenses of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall
be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that the holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation
or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder in
any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.13

Any money or
property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, and after an Event of Default any money or other property distributable

order:

 

(1)       to

any loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent required by the terms of this Indenture.

 

Section 7.03 Individual
Rights of Trustee.

 

The Trustee
or any Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such Agent. However, in the
event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign. Any Agent may
do the same with like rights and duties.

 

Section 7.04
Trustee’s Disclaimer.

 

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

 

Section 7.05
Notice of Defaults.

 

If a Default
or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will mail (or deliver
by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to each holder a notice of the Default
or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default specified in clauses
(1) or (2) of Section 6.01(a), the Trustee may withhold notice if in good faith the Trustee determines that withholding notice
is in the interest of the holders of the Notes.

 

Section 7.06 [Reserved].

 

     -44-

     

    

Section
7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

 

(a)       The
Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance
of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly
upon request for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with performing its duties hereunder, in addition
to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents
and counsel. The Trustee shall provide the Company reasonable notice of such fees and expenses.

 

(b)       The
Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold each of the Trustee and any predecessor
harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred
by it without negligence or willful misconduct on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any
Guarantor (including this Section 7.07)) or defending itself against any claim made in connection with the performance of
its duties hereunder whether asserted by any holder, the Company or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance,
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee
through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence, as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)       The
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

(d)       To
secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior
to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest
on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the
Trustee.

 

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

 

(f)       “Trustee”
for the purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder
and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence or
willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

 

Section 7.08 Replacement
of Trustee.

 

(a)       A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by giving 30 days’
prior notice of such resignation to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the

 

     -45-

     

    

Trustee upon
30 days’ prior notice by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee upon 30
days’ prior notice if:

 

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

 

(2)       the
Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;

 

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

 

(4)       the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

(b)       If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the successor Trustee to replace it with another successor Trustee appointed by
the Company.

 

(c)       If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee
(at the Company’s expense), the Company or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

(d)       If
the Trustee, after written request by any holder who has been a holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10,
such holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

 

(e)       A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon,
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail (or deliver by electronic transmission
in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) a notice of its succession to holders. The retiring Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee
hereunder have been paid and such transfer shall be subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit
of the retiring Trustee.

 

(f)       As
used in this Section 7.08, the term “Trustee” shall also include each Agent.

 

Section
7.09Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

 

If the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation
or national banking association, the successor corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee, subject to Section 7.10.

 

Section 7.10 Eligibility;
Disqualification.

 

There shall
at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that
is subject to supervision or

 

     -46-

     

    

examination
by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent
published annual report of condition.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

Section
8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The Company
may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

 

Section 8.02
Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

 

(a)       Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations
with respect to this Indenture, all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) through (4) below, and
to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, including that of the Guarantors under their
Guarantees (and the Trustee, at the request of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for
the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(1)       the
rights of holders to receive payments in respect of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments
are due, solely out of the trust referred to in Section 8.04;

 

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

 

(3)       the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

 

(4)       this
Section 8.02.

 

(b)       If
the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default
with respect to the Notes.

 

(c)       Subject
to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding its prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03.

 

Section 8.03
Covenant Defeasance.

 

Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11, and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from

 

     -47-

     

    

their
obligations with respect to all Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied
(“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes
of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect
to this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document
and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance
option, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) (only with respect to covenants that are released
as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(7), 6.01(a)(8) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries), Section 6.01(a)(9)
or 6.01(a)(10), in each case, shall not constitute an Event of Default.

 

Section 8.04 Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

 

(a)       The
following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option under Section 8.02 or the Covenant
Defeasance option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes:

 

(1)       the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government
Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants, a nationally recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm delivered to
the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on
the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify
whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

 

(2)       in
the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary
assumptions and exclusions,

 

(A)       the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

 

(B)       since
the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

 

in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that the beneficial owners will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not
occurred;

 

(3)       in
the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary
assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

     -48-

     

    

(4)       no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit
(other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any
similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and
the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Credit Agreement or any other material
agreement or material debt instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which
the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

 

(5)       the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance
or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and

 

(6)       the
Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at
maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

 

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

 

(a)       Subject
to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor
acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

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

 

Section 8.06
Repayment to the Company.

 

Any money deposited
with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal or interest on any
Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company
on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the holder of such Note shall thereafter
look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee
or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may cause to be published once, in The New York Times
or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 10 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such
money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

 

     -49-

     

    

Section
8.07 Reinstatement.

 

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

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

 

Section
9.01 Without Consent of Holders.

 

(a)       Notwithstanding
Section 9.02, without the consent of any holder of the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors and Trustee may amend or supplement
this Indenture:

 

(1)       to
cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, as determined in good faith by the Company;

 

(2)       to
provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture;

 

(3)       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);

 

(4)       to
add guarantees with respect to the Notes, including any Guarantees, or to secure the Notes;

 

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

 

(6)       to
make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Notes, as determined in good faith by
the Company;

 

(7)       to
comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with any required qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act (it being agreed that this Indenture need not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act);

 

(8)       to
conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section
of the Offering Memorandum, as determined in good faith by the Company;

 

(9)       to
release a Guarantor from its Guarantee when permitted by the terms of this Indenture;

 

     -50-

     

    

(10)       to
provide for successor trustees or to add to or change any provisions to the extent necessary to appoint a separate trustee for
the Notes; or

 

(11)       to
make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture,
including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes, or, if incurred in compliance with
this Indenture, Additional Notes; provided, however, that (A) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would
not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (B) such amendment
does not materially and adversely affect the rights of holders to transfer Notes, as determined in good faith by the Company.

 

Section
9.02 With Consent of Holders.

 

Except as
provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, this Indenture may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for
the Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected
thereby, an amendment or waiver may not, among other things:

 

(1)       reduce
the amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment;

 

(2)       reduce
the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

 

(3)       reduce
the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

 

(4)       change
the optional redemption dates or prices or calculations from those described in Section 3.07 or 3.08;

 

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

 

(6)       amend
the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture or the Notes of any holder of the Notes to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes after any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or
any redemption date, as applicable;

 

(7)       make
any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions;

 

(8)       make
any change in the ranking or priority of any Note or Guarantee that would adversely affect the noteholders; or

 

(9)       release
any Guarantor from its Guarantee, except as provided for in this Indenture.

 

(b)       The
consent of the holders of the Notes is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment.
It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

 

(c)       After
an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to mail (or deliver by electronic transmission in
accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to holders of the Notes a notice briefly describing such amendment.
However, the failure to

 

     -51-

     

    

give
such notice to all holders of the Notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

 

Section 9.03
Revocation and Effect of Consents.

 

(a)       Until
an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the holder
of a Note and every subsequent holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting holder’s
Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such holder of a Note or subsequent holder of a Note
may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement
or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)        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.

 

(c)       The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date pursuant to Section 1.04 for the purpose of determining the holders
entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

Section 9.04
Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

 

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

 

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

 

Section
9.05Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

 

Upon
request of the Company, and if applicable upon the filing with the Trustee of

 

evidence of the consent of holders,
the trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement
or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment,
supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, subject to customary
exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance
with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. 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 this Indenture.

GUARANTEES

 

Section
10.01 Guarantee.

 

(a)       Subject
to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior
unsecured basis, to each holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability
of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the principal and interest on
the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest
on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the holders
or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that
same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at
Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”. Failing payment by
the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be
jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not
a guarantee of collection.

 

(b)       The
Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any holder with respect
to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the
Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this
Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06.

 

(c)       Each
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture have been paid in full.  If at any time any
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture
is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise,
each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due
but not made at such time.

 

(d)       Each
of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

 

(e)       If
any holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee
or such holder, such Guarantor’s Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
effect.

 

(f)       Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay,

 

     -53-

     

    

injunction
or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under
its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from
each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective
net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

(g)       Each
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company
for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should
a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the
Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee
on the Notes or the Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise,
all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only
by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

(h)       In
case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

(i)       Each
payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution
of any kind or nature.

 

Section 10.02
Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

 

Each Guarantor,
and by its acceptance of Notes, each holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee.
To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations
of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights
to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act or any similar federal or state law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment
in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such
other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the
time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

Section 10.03
Execution and Delivery.

 

     -54-

in the form of Exhibit C hereto) shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer or person holding an equivalent title.

 

(b)       Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

 

(c)       If
an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the
Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless.

 

(d)       The
delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

 

Section 10.04
Subrogation.

 

Each Guarantor
shall be subrogated to all rights of holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor until payment
in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no
Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until
all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

 

Section 10.05
Benefits Acknowledged.

 

Each Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture
and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

of Guarantees.

 

(a)       The
Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released:

 

(1)       upon
the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Guarantor;

 

(2)       upon
the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of a Guarantor;

 

(3)       at
such time as such Guarantor is no longer a guarantor or obligor of any (i) Debt Facility of the Company or any Guarantor with
aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million or more (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement) or (ii) Material Capital
Markets Debt of the Company or any Guarantor;

 

(4)       upon
the defeasance of the Notes, as provided under Article 8; or

 

(5)       as
described under Article 9,

 

in the case of clause (1) or
(2), other than to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company and as permitted by this Indenture.

 

(b)       If
the Guarantee of any Guarantor is deemed to be released or is automatically released, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate stating the identity of the released Guarantor, the basis for release in reasonable detail, and
that such release complies with this

 

     -55-

     

    

Indenture.
At the written request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
which may be subject to customary exceptions and qualifications, each stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture
to the release of such Guarantor have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably required
in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Guarantee (it being understood that
the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any automatic release pursuant to Section 10.06(a)).

 

Section 10.07
Swiss Guarantors.

 

The liability
of each Guarantor who is organized under the laws of Switzerland (each, a “Swiss Guarantor”) shall be limited
as follows notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture to the contrary:

 

(a)       The
obligations, liabilities, indemnities and undertakings of as well as the application of net proceeds resulting from the realization
of any security granted by a Swiss Guarantor under its Guarantee in relation to obligations, liabilities, indemnities or undertakings
of the Company or another Guarantor (other than the relevant Swiss Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries) (“Up- and Cross-stream
Obligations”) shall be limited to its Free Reserves Available for Distribution (all in accordance with Art. 675 paragraph
2 and Art. 671 paragraph 1 and 2 no. 3 of the Swiss Code of Obligations) at the time of (1) the enforcement of such obligations,
liabilities, indemnities, guaranties or undertakings or (2) such application of the net proceeds resulting from the foreclosure
in or realization on the security granted by any Swiss Guarantor, always provided that any such Up- and Cross-stream Obligations
would otherwise lead to an actual violation of the prohibition to repay any capital contributions (Verbot der Einlagenrückgewähr)
or to a prohibited distribution of profits pursuant to the Swiss Code of Obligations (verbotene Gewinnausschüttung).

 

(b)       For
the purpose of the preceding subsection (a), “Free Reserves Available for Distribution” means the maximum amount
of the Swiss Guarantor's profits and reserves available for distribution at the time of the enforcement of (1) such obligations,
liabilities, indemnities or undertakings or (2) the application of the net proceeds resulting from the foreclosure in or realization
on the security granted by any Swiss Guarantor presently being equal to the positive difference between:

 

(i) the assets
of the Swiss Guarantor; and

 

(ii) the aggregate
of:

 

(A) all liabilities other
than Up- and Cross-stream Obligations;

 

(B) the amount of the
registered share capital; and

 

(C) the statutory reserves
(gesetzliche Reserven) to the extent such reserves must be maintained by mandatory law at any given time;

 

all these amounts to be established
in accordance with Swiss law and, upon the request of the Trustee to be confirmed by the auditors of the relevant Swiss Guarantor
based on an audited interim balance sheet. The relevant Swiss Guarantor shall, upon the request of the Trustee, arrange for the
audited interim balance sheet and the confirmation of the auditors immediately after having been requested to make a payment under
its Guarantee or the rights under the Indenture have been asserted in relation to Up and Cross-stream Obligations. The relevant
Swiss Guarantor shall take any other actions and/or pass any resolutions including resolutions of the board of directors and shareholders'
resolutions that, in the sole

 

     -56-

     

    

opinion of the Trustee, are necessary
to make an amount available for distribution as part of the Free Reserves Available for Distribution, including any resolutions
on the dissolution of hidden reserves and/or on the distribution of profits.

 

(c)       The
limitations contained herein shall not relieve the relevant Swiss Guarantor from payment obligations under its Guarantee beyond
these limitations. If as of any date a Swiss Guarantor cannot make any further payment as a result of these limitations, then
the Swiss Guarantor shall continue to be obligated to make payment hereunder and shall make such payment when the operation of
the limitations in this Section permit it to do so.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

Section
11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

 

(a)       This
Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when either:

 

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

 

(2)       1. all
Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice
of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense,
of the Company, and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust
funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in
such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, a nationally
recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm delivered to the Trustee if Government Securities
are delivered, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Debt on the Notes not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption,
as the case may be;

 

(B)       no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit
(other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any
similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

 

(C)       the
Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Company under this Indenture; and

 

(D)       the
Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at
maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

 

(b)       In
addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and

 

     -57-

     

    

exclusions)
each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s
and Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith shall survive, and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 11.01(a)(2)(A), the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive.

 

Section 11.02
Application of Trust Money.

 

(a)       Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied
by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of
the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

(b)       If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of
any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the
Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if
the Company has made any payment of principal or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.

(i)       to
register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

 

(ii)       to
exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

 

the Registrar shall register

that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:

 

(1)       shall
be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar,
duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

 

(2)       in
the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of this Appendix A or otherwise in accordance with the Restricted
Notes Legend, and are accompanied by a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form
of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications
and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto.

 

(b)       Restrictions

the Trustee shall cancel such

between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased
by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account
of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive
Note so canceled. If the applicable Global Note is not then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate,
upon an Authentication Order, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

 

(c)       Transfer
and Exchange of Global Notes.

a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account
of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or another Global Note and such account shall
be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person
making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

 

(ii)       If
the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note,
the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which
such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar

such interest is being transferred.

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3 of this Appendix A), a Global
Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary
or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee

substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Trustee.

 

(ii)       During
the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or

Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery
of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the
beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration
of transfers. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.

the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged

interests in a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial
interests in an Unrestricted Global Note if the holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange
is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of
the Form of Note in Exhibit A) and/or upon delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the
Company or the Trustee may reasonably request.

 

(v)       If

CO 80112.

 

(ii)       Upon
any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Definitive Note, the Registrar shall permit the holder thereof to
exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a Definitive Note that does not bear the Restricted Notes Legend and the Definitive
Notes Legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note if the holder certifies in writing to
the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification
to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A) and provides such legal opinions,
certifications and other information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably request.

 

(iii)       Any
Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend.

 

(f)       Cancellation
or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive
Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall
be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such
cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest
in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall
be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Registrar (if it is then the Custodian for such Global
Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Registrar or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

 

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

3.06 and 9.05 of this Indenture).

may deem and treat the person in whose

 

    8 

     

    

name
a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal and interest on such
Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

order to effect any transfer or exchange of an interest in any Transfer Restricted Note for an interest in a Note that does not
bear the Restricted Notes Legend and has not been registered under the Securities Act, if the Registrar so requests or if the
Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel, in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that no
registration under the Securities Act is required in respect of such exchange or transfer or the re-sale of such interest by the
beneficial holder thereof, shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar and the Trustee. The
Company, the Trustee and the Registrar reserve the right to require the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other
evidence as may reasonably be required in order to determine that the proposed transfer of any Transfer Restricted Note is being
made in compliance with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or rules or regulations adopted by the SEC from time to
time thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.

 

(h)       No
Obligation of the Trustee.

 

(i)       Neither
the Trustee nor any Agent shall have responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

 

(ii)       The
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in
the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant
or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member,
beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase)
or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the holders and
all payments to be made to holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary
or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through
the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected
in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

 

(iii)       The
Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers
between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by,
the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.

 

(i)       Automatic
Exchange. Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain
compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Transfer Restricted Note may be automatically exchanged into beneficial
interests in an

 

    9 

     

    

Unrestricted
Global Note without any action required by or on behalf of the holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time
on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after (A) with respect to the Notes issued on the Issue Date, the Issue Date
or (B) with respect to Additional Notes, if any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not
a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Company’s
satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities
Act, the Company may (i) provide written notice to the Trustee at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange, instructing
the Trustee to direct the Depositary to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Transfer Restricted
Note to the Unrestricted Global Note, which the Company shall have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the Depositary,
(ii) provide prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each holder at such holder’s address
appearing in the register of holders at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange (the “Automatic Exchange
Notice Date”), which notice must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of the Indenture pursuant
to which the Automatic Exchange shall occur, (y) the CUSIP number of the Restricted Global Note from which such holder’s
beneficial interests will be transferred and (z) the CUSIP number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such holder’s
beneficial interests will be transferred, and (iii) on or prior to the date of the Automatic Exchange, deliver to the Trustee
for authentication one or more Unrestricted Global Notes, duly executed by the Company, in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Notes to be exchanged. At the Company’s request on no less than
5 calendar days’ notice, the Trustee shall deliver, in the Company’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange
Notice to each holder at such holder’s address appearing in the register of holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 2.2(i), during the 10 day period between the Automatic Exchange Notice Date and the Automatic Exchange Date, no
transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 2.2(i) shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the
Company.  As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Company shall provide, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely
upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Automatic
Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in
the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, and that the
aggregate principal amount of the particular Transfer Restricted Note may be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global
Note by adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Custodian to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial
interests pursuant to this Section 2.2(i), the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as Custodian, to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal
amount of such Global Note resulting from the applicable exchange. The Transfer Restricted Note from which beneficial interests
are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be canceled following the Automatic Exchange.

 

Section 2.3Definitive
Notes.

 

(a)       A
Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian pursuant to Section 2.1 may be transferred to
the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.2 of this Appendix A and
(i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or
if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case,
a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of
such cessation, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from
the Depository. In addition, any Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global
Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note by providing
a written

 

    10 

     

    

request
to the Company and the Trustee and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by this Indenture
or the Company or Trustee.

 

(b)       Any
Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be surrendered by the
Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive
Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be executed, authenticated
and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names
as the Depositary shall direct. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note that is a Transfer
Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.2(e) of this Appendix A, bear the Restricted Notes Legend.

 

(c)       The
registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that
may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

 

(d)       In
the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.3(a) of this Appendix A, the Company shall promptly
make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons.

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

 

INTEREST. IHS
Markit Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at 4.75% per annum until but excluding maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February
15 and August 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any such day is not a Business Day, interest
shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect and no interest shall accrue for the intervening
period. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from and including February 9, 2017; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be August 15, 2017. The
Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal
and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard
to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 

Payment
of Additional Amounts. The Company or, if applicable, each Guarantor (pursuant to the terms
of the applicable Guarantee) (each, a “Payor”) shall make all payments of, or in respect of, principal, premium
(if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payment pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, free and clear of and without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental
charge (including penalties, interest, and other liabilities related thereto) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected
(“Taxes”) by or for the account of Bermuda, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in which the Company
or any Guarantor is organized, or resident for tax purposes, engaged in business for tax purposes or through which payment is
made (or any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof having the power to tax) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),
unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof. If a Payor
is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold Taxes from any payment of principal, premium (if any) and
interest on the Notes, or any payments pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, such Payor shall pay (together with such
payments) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received
in respect of such payments by the holder of such Note, after such deduction or withholding (including any such deduction or withholding
in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have received if such Taxes had not
been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that a Payor shall not be required to pay Additional Amounts under
certain circumstances set forth in the Indenture.

 

METHOD OF PAYMENT.
The Company shall pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the
February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the related Interest Payment
Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of
the Company, payment of interest and premium, if any, may be made by check mailed to the holders at their respective addresses
set forth in the Note Register; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required
with respect to principal, premium, if any, and interest on all Global Notes and all other Notes the holders of which shall have

 

     A-5

     

    

provided
wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date.
Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts.

 

PAYING AGENT
AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the holders of Notes. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

 

INDENTURE.
The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of February 9, 2017 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the
“Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized
issue of notes of the Company designated as its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2025. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional
Notes pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Indenture. The Notes and any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture shall be treated
as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Any term used in this Note that is defined in the Indenture shall have the
meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

 

REDEMPTION
AND REPURCHASE. The Notes are subject to optional redemption, including optional redemption for tax reasons, and may be the subject
of a Change of Control Offer, in each case, as further described in the Indenture. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

 

DENOMINATIONS,
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar
and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and holders
shall be required to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register
the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or tendered for repurchase in connection with a Change of
Control Offer, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part.

 

PERSONS DEEMED
OWNERS. The registered holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

 

AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

 

DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the holders shall be as set forth
in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

 

AUTHENTICATION.
This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
by the manual signature of the Trustee.

 

GOVERNING LAW.
THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

CUSIP AND ISIN
NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company
has caused CUSIP and ISIN

 

     A-6

     

    

numbers
to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices as a convenience to holders. No representation
is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 

The Company

2.       We
understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except
as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing
Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original
issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any

predecessor
thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend (as
such term is defined in the indenture under which the Notes were issued) on the Notes and any applicable securities laws of any
state of the United States. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination
Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter
to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such
Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the
Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination
Date of the Notes with respect to applicable transfers described in the Restricted Notes Legend to require the delivery of an
opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
