REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 10, 2020, by
and between Vaccinex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Friedberg Global-Macro Hedge Fund Ltd. (the “Investor”). 

RECITALS 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2020, by and between the Company and
the Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Investor shall acquire an aggregate of 1,126,760 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”); and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Investor’s investment pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company desires to
enter into this Agreement with the Investor in order to grant the Investor the registration rights described herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements set forth below, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

longer subject to further review and comments, the Effectiveness Date as to the Registration Statement shall be as promptly as commercially reasonable following the date on which the Company is so notified if such date precedes the dates otherwise
required above, and provided, further, that if such Effectiveness Date falls on a day that is not a Trading Day, then the Effectiveness Date shall be the next succeeding Trading Day.

post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. 

1.6 “Registrable Securities” means, as of any date of determination, (a) all of the Shares, and
(b) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing; provided, however, that any such Registrable Securities shall cease
to be Registrable Securities (and the Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any, or file another, Registration Statement hereunder with respect thereto) after such time as (x) the Registration Statement with respect to
the sale of such Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the Holder in accordance with such effective Registration Statement, (y) such Registrable
Securities have been previously sold in accordance with Rule 144 and new shares not bearing legends restricting transfer shall have been delivered to the purchasers thereof (or, in the case of book-entry shares, appropriate notifications shall have
been made on the books of the Transfer Agent), or (z) such Registrable Securities become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and
without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders. 

1.7 “Registration Statement” means the registration statement required to be filed hereunder pursuant to

 1.8
“Rule 415” means Rule 415 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended or interpreted from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC having substantially the same
purpose and effect as such Rule. 
 1.9 “Rule 424” means Rule 424 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the
1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended or interpreted from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC having substantially the same purpose and effect as such Rule. 

1.10 “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Principal Trading Market;
provided, that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such Principal Trading Market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the
final hours of trading on such Principal Trading Market (or, if such Principal Trading Market does not 

  
 2 

 
designate in advance the closing time of trading on such Principal Trading Market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time). 

Section 2. Shelf Registration. 

2.1 On or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and use reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC the
Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Subject to SEC comments, such
Registration Statement shall contain substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” within
the meaning of the 1933 Act without such Holder’s express prior written consent, except that a Holder may be named as a “statutory underwriter” if such Holder is, or is affiliated with, a broker-dealer and states such fact in its
Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or if the staff of the SEC requires such Holder to be so named. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement filed under this
Agreement to be declared effective under the 1933 Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective under the 1933 Act between the Effectiveness Date and the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144 or
(ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness
Period”). The Company shall notify the Holders via e-mail of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement within two calendar days of the Company’s telephonic confirmation of effectiveness
with the SEC. 
 2.2 If the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the applicable Effectiveness
Date, (any such failure referred to as an “Event”) then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on the Effectiveness Date and on each monthly anniversary of the Effectiveness Date (if
the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the
aggregate purchase price paid for the Shares multiplied by the proportion of (A) the Shares held by such Holder for which the Registration Statement had not been declared effective to (B) the total number of Shares purchased pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the Holders under this Agreement shall be 8.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for the Shares. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated
damages pursuant to this Section 2.2 in full within seven calendar days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 1.0% per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid
by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a
daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. 

  
 3 

 2.3 If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or
all of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires the Investor to be named as an
“underwriter,” the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the
issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that the Investor is not an “underwriter.” In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this
Section 2.3, the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or
(ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC
Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name the Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the
Investor; provided, further, that if the Investor refuses to be named as an underwriter as required by the SEC Restrictions, the Investor’s Registrable Securities shall be removed from the Registration Statement and such
Registrable Securities shall be deemed to constitute Cut Back Shares and the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall apply to such Cut Back Shares. In furtherance of the foregoing, if requested by the Company,
the Investor shall provide the Company with notice of its sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement such that the Company will be able to file one or more additional Registration Statements covering
the Cut Back Shares. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut Back
Shares (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the
Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein and the
liquidated damages provisions relating thereto) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Filing Date for such Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be 20 Trading Days
after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Effectiveness Date with respect to such Cut Back Shares shall be the 90th calendar day following the Restriction
Termination Date (or in the event of a substantive review by the SEC, the 135th calendar day following the Restriction Termination Date). 

Section 3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall: 
 3.1 Not less than five Trading Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement and
not less than three Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, but not including (A) any
1934 Act filing or (B) any supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement that is not related to such Holder’s Registrable Securities), (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its 

  
 4 

 
representatives to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the
1933 Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided
that the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than four Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of the Registration Statement or two Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any
related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. In connection with any Registration Statement, each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form provided by the Company (a “Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire”) on the date that is the later of (x) two Trading Days prior to the Filing Date and (y) the fourth Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this
Section 3.1. 
 3.2 (i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith (subject to any requirement that a post-effective amendment be declared effective by the SEC) as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement),
and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as
promptly as reasonably practicable to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to the Registration Statement (provided, that the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would
constitute material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement
as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented. 
 3.3 Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold
(which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (c) through (f) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in the case of (a)(1)
below, not less than one Trading Day prior to such filing) and, if requested by any such Person, confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day: 

(a) (1) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is
proposed to be filed (other than (I) any 1934 Act filing or (II) any supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that is not related to such Holder’s Registrable Securities), (2) when the SEC notifies the
Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (3) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when
the same has become effective; 

  
 5 

 (b) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental
authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; 
 (c) of
the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any actions, claims,
suits or proceedings (“Actions”) for that purpose; 
 (d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Action for such purpose; 

(e) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the Registration
Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions
to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and 

(f) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes
may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided, however, in no event shall any such
notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 

3.4 Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any
order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest
practicable moment. 
 3.5 If requested by a Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of
the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent
requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto)
need not be furnished in physical form. 
 3.6 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, consent to the use of such Prospectus
and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in 

  
 6 

 
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to
Section 3.3. 
 3.7 Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by
the Holder under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness
Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to
qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction. 
 3.8 If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to
enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request. 

3.9 Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3.3, as promptly as reasonably
practicable under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including
a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3.3 above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite
changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The
Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3.9 to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement and Prospectus for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive
days) in any 12-month period. 
 3.10 Otherwise use reasonable best efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the 1933 Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy 

  
 7 

 
the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other
actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder. 
 3.11 Use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities. 

Section 4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with
the Company’s obligations under this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence
shall include (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the SEC, (B) with respect to filings
required to be made with the Principal Trading Market, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in
connection with blue sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) 1933 Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including all salaries and
expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Purchase Agreement, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

 Section 5. Indemnification. 

5.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the Holder’s representatives, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders,
partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred,
arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, 

  
 8 

 
the 1934 Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the
extent, that (A) such untrue statement was made in such the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of Holders or controlling person expressly for use in the preparation thereof or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in
Section 3.3(c) through (f), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or
otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.3. No investigation by any Holder or knowledge by any Holder of any facts or circumstances shall
affect the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Section 5.1. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly upon becoming aware of the institution, threat or assertion of any Action arising from or in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable
Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.7. 
 5.2 Indemnification by
Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its representatives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent, but only to the
extent, arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue statement or alleged misstatement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus in any case covering the Shares or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such untrue statement or omission was
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of Holders expressly for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
 5.3 Conduct of Indemnification Actions.

 (a) If any Action shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the
defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it 

  
 9 

 
shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced
the Indemnifying Party. 
 (b) An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and
to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Action and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Action, or (iii) the named parties to any such Action (including any
impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not
have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Action effected
without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Action in respect of which any
Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Action. 

(c) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees, disbursements, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party
(including reasonable fees, disbursements, costs and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Action in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5) shall be paid to the
Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 30 calendar days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees, disbursements,
costs and expenses applicable to such Actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification
hereunder. 
 5.4 Contribution. 

(a) If the indemnification under Section 5.1 or 5.2 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the 

  
 10 

 
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any
Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Action to the extent such party would have
been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 was available to such party in accordance with its terms. 

(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event shall the
contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and
the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such
contribution obligation. 
 (c) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 5.4 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 

Section 6. Miscellaneous. 

6.1 Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this
Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to seek specific performance of its rights
under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees
that, in the event of any Action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

6.2 Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the
1933 Act, if and to the extent applicable to it in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, unless an exemption therefrom is available to such Holder. 

6.3 Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a
notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3.3(c) through (f), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration
Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is 

  
 11 

 
required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.9. 

6.4 Piggy-Back Registrations. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration
Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its
equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then-equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued
solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and,
if within 15 days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be
registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide notice or otherwise register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.4 that are eligible for resale pursuant to
Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Holder; and provided,
further, that if the Company intends to file a registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering (an “Underwritten Offering”), and the managing underwriter has advised the Company in good faith that
the inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders participating in such Underwritten Offering (including pursuant to this Section 6.4) shall be limited due to market conditions, the
order of priority of the securities to be included in such offering shall be: (i) first, the primary securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering; (ii) second, any securities that the Holders request to include in such
Registration Statement, on a pro rata basis, based on the number of requested securities; and (iii) any other securities that are requested to be included in such Registration Statement on a pro rata basis, based on the number of requested
securities; and provided, further, that, by written notice delivered to the Company, any Holder (an “Opting-Out Holder”) may elect to waive its right to participate in
registration statements pursuant to this Section 6.4 (“Registration Opt-Out”), until such time as such written notice is rescinded in writing. During such time as a
Registration Opt-Out is in effect: (x) the Opting-Out Holder shall not receive notices of any proposed registration statements pursuant to this
Section 6.4 and (y) shall not be entitled to participate in any registration statements pursuant to this Section 6.4. 

6.5 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 51% or more of the then-outstanding Registrable
Securities; provided, that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If
the Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be
reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such 

  
 12 

 
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some
Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the
provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6.5. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend
or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the similarly-situated parties to this Agreement. 

6.6 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder
shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 
 6.7 Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. The Company may not assign (except to any third party that acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s business,
whether by merger, sale of assets or otherwise) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. 

6.8 No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor
shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
 6.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail or other transmission method and any counterpart so
delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. 
 6.10
Governing Law; Enforcement. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, including Sections 7.2 and 7.13
thereof. 
 6.11 Severability. If one or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the
void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction, and the term or provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement solely for such situation and solely in such jurisdiction, unless the
void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision is of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement without the void, invalid, or unenforceable
term or 

  
 13 

 
provision. If the final judgment of such court declares that any term or provision hereof is void, invalid, or unenforceable, the parties hereto parties hereto agree to: (a) reduce the
scope, duration, area, or applicability of the term or provision or to delete specific words or phrases to the minimum extent necessary to cause such term or provision as so reduced or amended to be enforceable; and (b) make a good-faith effort
to replace any void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision such that the objectives contemplated by the parties hereto when entering this Agreement may be realized. 

6.12 Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document
delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that
the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or
as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any Action for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company,
not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this
Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

 Exhibit A 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Selling
Stockholders 
 We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling stockholders. The selling
stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, on a continuous or delayed basis, sell any or all of their common
stock covered hereby directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated
prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The sale of the selling stockholders’ common stock offered by this prospectus may be
effected in one or more of the following methods: 
  

	 	•	 	 ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

  

	 	•	 	 transactions involving cross or block trades; 

 

	 	•	 	 purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

  

	 	•	 	 exchange distributions in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; 

 

	 	•	 	 privately negotiated transactions; 

 

	 	•	 	 short sales after the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part becomes effective;

  

	 	•	 	 transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per share; 

  

	 	•	 	 through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise; 

  

	 	•	 	 “at the market” into an existing market for the common stock; 

 

	 	•	 	 through the writing of options on the shares; 

 

	 	•	 	 a combination of any such methods of sale; and 

 

	 	•	 	 any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares of the selling stockholders may be
sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In 

 
addition, in certain states, such shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is
available and complied with. 
 The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, or Rule 144, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. 

The selling stockholders may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting
as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as
agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their
own risk. It is possible that the selling stockholders will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling stockholders
cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, such selling stockholders. 

Brokers, dealers, underwriters, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares held by the selling stockholders as
agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling stockholders and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify
any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act. 

The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with
any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. If we are
notified by the selling stockholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial
institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). 

  
 B-2 

 With regard only to the shares it sells for its own behalf, each selling
stockholder may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This offering as it relates to the selling stockholders will terminate on the date that all shares issued to and issuable to the selling stockholders that
are offered by this prospectus have been sold by the selling stockholders. 
 We may suspend the sale of shares by the
selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information. 

If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders will be
subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 
 We are required to pay the expenses in connection
with the registration of the shares being registered hereunder. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the date that (i) the securities may be resold by the selling
stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in
compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect. 

Regulation M 
 The
anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders. 

We have advised the selling stockholders that while they are engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this
prospectus it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholders, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in
the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or
purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby this prospectus.

this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be. Such instrument or instruments
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

 

	(b)	 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the
affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 

  

	(c)	 The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in paragraph (e) below. If
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration
Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 

  

	(d)	 The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 

 

	(e)	 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any
Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by
the Trustee, the Company or a Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

 The
Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration
referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is
set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable 

  
 -7- 

 
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from
setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and
nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders, or their duly designated proxies, of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken.
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company and
the Guarantors in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 With respect to any record
date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such
change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party or parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to
the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party or parties hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day
after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the
applicable record date. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security
may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 

Section 105 Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company and Guarantors. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided for or permitted by this Indenture to be
made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  

	 	(1)	 the Trustee by any Holder, the Company or a Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made,
given, furnished or filed in writing (or sent by e-mail, facsimile or other similar electronic method) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: [●], or 

 

	 	(2)	 the Company or a Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing, in the case of the Company, to or with it, at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Managing
Counsel, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, with a copy to the Guarantors, and in the case of a Guarantor, to or with it, at the address of its office specified in the first paragraph of this
instrument, Attention: General Counsel, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by such Guarantor, with a copy to the Company. 

Section 106 Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any 

  
 -8- 

 
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 

Section 107 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If
any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture
modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 108 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 

The Article and Section headings herein, the Reconciliation and tie between the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 109 Successors and Assigns. 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and each Guarantor shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 Section 110 Separability Clause. 
 In case any
provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or in the 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. 

Section 111 Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing in this
Indenture or in the Securities or in the Guarantees, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture. 
 Section 112 Governing Law. 
 This
Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except that the authorization and execution by a Guarantor of this Indenture and the Guarantees shall be governed
by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor. 
 Section 113 Legal Holidays. 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if
any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated
Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, United States of America, waives, to the extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action

any amounts to be paid by the Company (or such Guarantor) of principal of or interest on a Security of any series, then the Company will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net
amounts paid to such Holder of such Security who, with respect to any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge, is not resident in such jurisdiction, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such
Security to which such Holder is entitled; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:

existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between 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) and
the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being
or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where

by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim
or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or
part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. 

 The foregoing provisions
shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company is
incorporated, organized or tax resident, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, provided, however, that such payment of additional amounts may be subject to such further exceptions as may be established in the

not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity, and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall bear interest at the rate of % per annum (to the
extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue principal or premium shall be payable on demand of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of this Security. Any such interest on any overdue principal or premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest on interest shall be
legally enforceable), from the date of such demand until the amount so demanded is paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue interest shall be payable on demand of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of this Security.] 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and [if applicable, insert — any such] interest on this Security will be made at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in _____, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts [if applicable, insert — ;

proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding
a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.] 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 Section 206 Form of Guarantee. 

Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities shall be in substantially the form set forth below. 

GUARANTEE 
 For value received, [Equinor
ASA][Equinor Energy AS], a [public limited] [limited] company duly organized and existing under the laws of the Kingdom of Norway and having its corporate seat in Stavanger, Norway (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any
successor Person under the Indenture referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee referred to in such
Indenture the due and prompt payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any) on all of the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and in
the Securities, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein. In case of
the failure of Equinor US Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under such Indenture) punctually to make any such principal, premium or interest, additional
amounts and sinking fund payments, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. 
 The Guarantor hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth
below and unless otherwise specified in any Board Resolutions of the Company establishing the terms of Securities of a series in accordance with Section 301, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or
other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Guarantor is incorporated, organized or tax resident shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such
political subdivision or taxing authority) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Guarantor will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the
net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security who, with respect to any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge, is not resident in such jurisdiction, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in
such Security to which such Holder is entitled; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of: 

 

	(a)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the
existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between 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) and
the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being
or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where
presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

 

	(b)	 any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other
governmental charge; 

  

	(c)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments
of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; 

  
 -17- 

	(d)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply
by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim
or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or
part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

  

	(e)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting
such Security to another Paying Agent; or 

  

	(f)	 any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with
respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the
laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. 

 The foregoing provisions
shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Guarantor is
incorporated, organized or tax resident, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; provided, however, that such payment of additional amounts may be subject to such further exceptions as may be established in the
terms of such Securities established as contemplated in the Indenture referred to in such Securities. 
 The foregoing provisions regarding additional
amounts will not apply to any Guarantor at any time when such Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, a Guarantor (or any paying agent or any other Person) shall not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Section 1471-1474 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”) (and any current and future regulations or official interpretations thereof) (“FATCA”), the laws of Norway implementing FATCA or any agreement between the Company, such Guarantor and any taxing or
governmental authority entered into for FATCA purposes. 
 The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal
debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such
Security or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or such Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the
interest rate thereon or impose or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof or after the stated maturity thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger
or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund payment required pursuant to the
terms of such Security and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments,
if any) on such Security. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. The Guarantee does not hereby guarantee the performance by the Company of any other of the Company’s covenants, agreements, or obligations under the Securities or
the Indenture. 
 This Guarantee (i) is a direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and (ii) ranks at least
pari passu in right of payment with all other senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor now or hereafter outstanding (other than obligations preferred by applicable law) and senior in priority of payment and in all
other respects to all other obligations of the Guarantor that are designated as subordinate or junior in right of payment to this Guarantee. 

  
 -18- 

 The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security against the Company in
respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon,
such right of subrogation until the principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any) on all Securities of the same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.

 No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which
is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any) on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed at the
times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed therein. 
 This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the
certificate of authentication of such Security shall have been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee manually, by facsimile or electronically, under such Indenture. 

[If the Guarantor is Equinor Energy AS: This Guarantee is subject to release upon the terms set forth in the Indenture.] 

This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except that the authorization and execution of the
Guarantee shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Guarantor. 
 All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in such
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in such Indenture. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this instrument to be duly executed
manually, by facsimile or electronically.

 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as
may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture
supplemental hereto. 
 If any of the terms of the series thereof are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company or a
Guarantor, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series or the guarantees thereof. 
 Notwithstanding Section 301(2) herein and unless
otherwise expressly provided with respect to a series of Securities, the aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount
authorized with respect to such series as increased. 
 Section 302 Denominations. 

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 

Section 303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized representative thereof. The signature of any such authorized representative may
be manual, facsimile or electronic. Coupons shall bear the facsimile or electronic signature of any such authorized representative. 
 Securities bearing
the manual, facsimile or electronic signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company
and Guarantees executed by a Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If
the form or terms of the Securities of the series or the form of the Guarantee endorsed thereon have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 

 

	 	(1)	 if the form of such Securities or Guarantees has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as
permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

  

	 	(2)	 if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by
Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

  

	 	(3)	 that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner
and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, and 

  

  
 -22- 

	 	(4)	 that such Guarantees, when the Securities upon which they shall have been endorsed shall have been
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance
with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to
this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time,
it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears
on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual, facsimile or electronic signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that such Security or Guarantee is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security and
Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 304 Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the
preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued,
and having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantors substantially of the tenor of the definitive Guarantees, which Securities and Guarantees may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities and Guarantees may determine, as evidenced by such execution. 

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After
the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the
Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantors. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

  
 -23- 

 Section 305 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company or the Security Register in a Place of
Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount, each such Security having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantors. 
 At the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, each such Security having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the
Guarantors, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or
be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 

 

	 	(1)	 Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

  

	 	(2)	 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part
for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event
of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301.

	 	(3)	 Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole
or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 

 

	 	(4)	 Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of,
a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in
the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 

 Section 306 Mutilated, Destroyed,
Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantors, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, having endorsed thereon Guarantees
duly executed by the Guarantors, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security
shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this
Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

Section 307 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 

  
 -25- 

	 	(1)	 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of
such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series 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 in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series by the Company in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 

 

	 	(2)	 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security. 
 Section 308 Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such
Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as Holder of any Security. 

None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

  
 -26- 

 Section 309 Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company or a Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company or such Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which
the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by an Order. 
 Section 310
Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities
of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under
Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1005 shall survive. 
 Section 402 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1005, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust

Section 502 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series of the Company at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company and the Guarantors (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and
upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 503 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if: 
  

	 	(1)	 default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and
such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

  

	 	(2)	 default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity
thereof, 

 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount
then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate
or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 504 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company, a Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities, their property or
their creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any
such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder or coupon any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

 Section 505 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which

Section 507 Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any
Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

	 	(3)	 such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

  

	 	(4)	 the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
institute any such proceeding; and 

  

	 	(5)	 no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

 Section 508 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment
of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 509 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 proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of
Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 510 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except
as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 511 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. 

Section 512 Control by Holders. 
 The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on

	 	(1)	 such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 

 

	 	(2)	 the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction, and 

  

	 	(3)	 subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 513 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a
default: 

  
 -32- 

	 	(1)	 in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or

  

	 	(2)	 in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 

 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 514 Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for
the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any
court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or a Guarantor. 
 Section 515 Waiver of
Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 Section 602 Notice of Defaults. 

If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default
as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
such series.

 -35- 

	(b)	 The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written
notice thereof to the Company and the Guarantors. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the

Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject
to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with

	(e)	 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being
understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed

such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security

such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be
deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in
the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and
each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, a Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

  

	(c)	 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 

 Section 612 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
had itself authenticated such Securities.

 Section 613 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company, a Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities, the Trustee shall be subject to the

 Section 614
Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities
so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S.$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating
Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating
Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and
to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in
case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall
become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section. 
 The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may
have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 ARTICLE TEN 

COVENANTS 
 Section 1001 Payment of
Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay
the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 

Section 1002 Maintenance of Office or Agency by Company. 

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands. 

  
 -44- 

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities
of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes or where such notices and demands may be served and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Section 1003 Maintenance of Office or Agency by Guarantor.

 Each Guarantor will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon such Guarantor in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
served. The applicable Guarantor will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time a Guarantor shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall
fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such Guarantor hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 Each Guarantor may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes or where such notices and demands may be served and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve such Guarantor of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The applicable Guarantor will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Section 1004 Reserved. 

Section 1005 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company or a Guarantor shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or
interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it
as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and upon the written request of
the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 

  
 -45- 

 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
or for any other purpose, pay, or by Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by
the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or a Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, on its Order,
or (if then held by the Company or a Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company or such Guarantor 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 or the applicable Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 1006 Statement by Officer as to Default. 

The Company and each Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an
Officer’s Certificate (which need not comply with the requirements of Section 102), stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be in default,
specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 Section 1007 Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company and each Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise if its Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or such Guarantors, as the case may be, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 

Section 1008 Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Company and the Guarantors may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition
set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or any term, provision or condition set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto, if before the time for such compliance the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no
such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and Guarantors and the duties of the Trustee in respect
of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 1009 Additional Amounts. 

Unless otherwise specified in any Board Resolutions of the Company or a Guarantor establishing the terms of Securities of a series in accordance with
Section 301 or the form of Guarantee relating thereto, if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any 

  
 -46- 

 
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Company or such Guarantor is incorporated, organized or tax resident shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction
(or any such political subdivision or taxing authority) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Company of principal of or interest on a Security of any series, or by such Guarantor under its Guarantee, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case
may be, will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security who, with respect to any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge, is
not resident in such jurisdiction, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is entitled; provided, however, that the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be,
shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of: 
  

	(a)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the
existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between 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) and
the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being
or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where
presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

 

	(b)	 any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other
governmental charge; 

  

	(c)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments
of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; 

  

	(d)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply
by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim
or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or
part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

  

	(e)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting
such Security to another Paying Agent; or 

  

	(f)	 any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with
respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the
laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. 

 The foregoing provisions
shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company or a
Guarantor, as the case may be, is incorporated, organized or tax resident, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; provided, however, that such payment of additional amounts may be subject to such further
exceptions as may be established in the terms of such Securities established as contemplated by Section 301; provided further that the foregoing provisions regarding additional amounts will not apply to any Guarantor at any time when
such Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, and will apply to the Company only any time it is incorporated in a jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company and the Guarantors (or any paying agent or any other Person) shall not be required to pay any additional
amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Section 1471-1474 of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (and any current and future regulations or official interpretations thereof)
(“FATCA”), the laws of Norway implementing FATCA or any agreement between the Company, a Guarantor and any taxing or governmental authority entered into for FATCA purposes. 

  
 -47- 

 Subject to the foregoing provisions, whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed
to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and
express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

If the terms of the Securities of a series established as contemplated by Section 301 do not specify that additional amounts pursuant to the
Section will not be payable by the Company or a Guarantor, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the
first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned
Officer’s Certificate, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officer’s Certificate instructing the
Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether any payments due under the related Securities or Guarantee shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge described in the Securities or the related Guarantee. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such
Holders of Securities and the Company or such Guarantors (only if a payment under said Securities or Guarantee is then due) will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent or Paying Agents the additional amounts required by this Section. 

Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants to indemnify each of the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense
is due to its own negligence or bad faith.

 Section 1102
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another
manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the
Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such
series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere
in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

Section 1103 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or
unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously
called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of
the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and
specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amounts thereof to be redeemed. 
 The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply
with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an
authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless
the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or
is to be redeemed. 
 Section 1104 Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each

	 	(3)	 if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single
Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed, 

  

	 	(4)	 that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be
redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 

  

	 	(5)	 the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,

  

	 	(6)	 that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the cases, and

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. 
 Section 1105 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Guarantor is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1005) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which
are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 1106 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption
Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in
accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

Section 1107 Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any
Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or
Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered;
provided, that if a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

 Section 1108 Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment. 

Each series of Securities contained in one or more particular issues may be redeemed at the option of the Company or a Guarantor, in whole but not in part, at
any time (except in the case of Securities that have a variable rate of interest, which may be redeemed on any Interest Payment Date) at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption
(except in the case of Outstanding Original Issue Discount Securities which may be redeemed at the Redemption Price specified by the terms of such series of Securities) if, (a) as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or any
regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the Kingdom of Norway or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation (or, in the case of a successor Person to the Company or a Guarantor, of the jurisdiction
in which the Company or such successor Person is incorporated, organized or tax resident, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or
rulings, or any change in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such jurisdiction or such political subdivision or taxing authority (or such other
jurisdiction or political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which change, execution or amendment becomes effective on or after the date specified for such series pursuant to the terms of the Security or Section 301(8) (or in the case
of a successor Person to the Company or a Guarantor, the date on which such successor Person became such pursuant to Sections 801 and 802) or (b) as a result of any delivery or of any requirement to deliver definitive Securities (having used
all reasonable efforts to avoid having to issue such definitive Securities), the Company or such Guarantor (or such successor Person) is or would be required to pay additional amounts with respect to the Securities on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date as described in Section 1009, and the payment of such additional amounts in the case of (b) above cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to the Company or such Guarantor. Prior to the giving of
notice of redemption of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture, the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, stating that the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may
be, is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, to redeem such Securities pursuant
to this Section have been satisfied. 
 Further, if a successor Person into which the Company or a Guarantor is merged or to whom the Company or a
Guarantor has conveyed, transferred or leased its properties or assets has been or would be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the Securities as a result of such transaction, each series of Securities may be redeemed at the
option of such Person in whole, but not in part, at any time (except in the case of Securities that have a variable rate of interest, which may be redeemed on any Interest Payment Date), at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof
plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except in the case of Outstanding Original Issue Discount Securities which may be redeemed at the Redemption Price specified by the terms of such series of Securities). Prior to the giving of
notice of redemption of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture, such Person shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, stating that such person is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a
statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of such Person to redeem such Securities pursuant to this Section have been satisfied.

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein
referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the
terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such

case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities;
provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be
redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 1203 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 50 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107. 

ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 1301 Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the
case may be, designated pursuant to Section 301 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 1302 or 1303, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 301 and upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 

Section 1302 Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the
Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such
Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust
fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the

  
 -52- 

 
obligations of the Company, where applicable, with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1005, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have
Section 1303 applied to such Securities. 
 Section 1303 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be,
(1) the Company shall be released from any covenants provided pursuant to Section 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to any
such covenants provided pursuant to Section 901(2) or 901(7)) and 501(7) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, 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 specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

Section 1304 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case
may be: 
  

	 	(1)	 The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee
which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with
their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such
Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the
United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States
of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in the case of either (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof,
and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the
account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian
is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest
evidenced by such depositary receipt. 

  

	 	(2)	 In the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue

  
 -53- 

	 	
Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based
thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will
be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 

 

	 	(3)	 In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant
Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

  

	 	(4)	 The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that neither such
Securities nor any other Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit. 

  

	 	(5)	 No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 

  

	 	(6)	 Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act). 

  

	 	(7)	 Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 

  

	 	(8)	 Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 

 

	 	(9)	 The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

 Section 1305
Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 1005, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other
trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and
any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 -54- 

 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed
against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding
Securities. 
 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Order of the
Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 

Section 1306 Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or the
Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then
the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with
respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if
the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money so held in trust. 
 ARTICLE FOURTEEN 

GUARANTEE 
 Section 1401 Guarantee

 For value received, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the
Trustee referred to in such Indenture the due and prompt payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any) on all of the Securities on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Indenture and in the Securities, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture
referred to therein. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such principal, premium or interest, additional amounts and sinking fund payments, such Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made promptly when and
as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. 

Each Guarantor hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below and unless otherwise specified in any Board Resolutions of the
Company establishing the terms of Securities of a series in accordance with Section 301, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which such Guarantor is incorporated, organized or tax resident shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority) in respect of any
amounts to be paid by such Guarantor under this Guarantee, such Guarantor will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security who, with
respect to any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge, is not resident in such jurisdiction, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is entitled; provided,
however, that the Guarantors shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of: 

  
 -55- 

	(a)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the
existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between 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) and
the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being
or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where
presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

 

	(b)	 any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other
governmental charge; 

  

	(c)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments
of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; 

  

	(d)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply
by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim
or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or
part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

  

	(e)	 any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting
such Security to another Paying Agent; or 

  

	(f)	 any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with
respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the
laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. 

 The foregoing provisions
shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to a Guarantor is
incorporated, organized or tax resident, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; provided, however, that such payment of additional amounts may be subject to such further exceptions as may be established in the
terms of such Securities established as contemplated in the Indenture referred to in such Securities. 
 The foregoing provisions regarding additional
amounts will not apply to any Guarantor at any time when such Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, a Guarantor (or any paying agent or any other Person) shall not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Section 1471-1474 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”) (and any current and future regulations or official interpretations thereof) (“FATCA”), the laws of Norway implementing FATCA or any agreement between the Company, such Guarantor and any taxing or
governmental authority entered into for FATCA purposes. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal
debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such
Security or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or such Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of such Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the
interest rate thereon or impose or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof or after the stated maturity thereof. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims

  
 -56- 

 
with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness
evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund payment required pursuant to the terms of such Security and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of and any
premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any) on such Security. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. The Guarantee does not hereby guarantee the performance by the Company of any
other of the Company’s covenants, agreements, or obligations under the Securities or the Indenture. 
 This Guarantee (i) is a direct,
unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligation of the applicable Guarantor and (ii) ranks at least pari passu in right of payment with all other senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter
outstanding (other than obligations preferred by applicable law) and senior in priority of payment and in all other respects to all other obligations of such Guarantor that are designated as subordinate or junior in right of payment to this
Guarantee. 
 A Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder
by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the
principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any) on all Securities of the same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full. 

No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the applicable Guarantor,
which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any) on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed therein. 
 This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the
certificate of authentication of such Security shall have been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, manually, by facsimile or electronically, under such Indenture. 

This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except that the authorization and execution of this
Guarantee shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the applicable Guarantor. 
 Section 1402 Subrogation 

A Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of a Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by such Guarantor
pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on all Securities of the relevant series shall have been paid in full. 
 Section 1403 Execution and Delivery of the Guarantee

 To evidence its guarantee set forth in Section 1401, each Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee in a form established pursuant to
Section 206, to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed manually, by facsimile or electronically by a person duly authorized thereto by Board Resolution of the applicable
Guarantor. 
 Guarantees bearing the facsimile or electronic signature of any individual who was at any time such an authorized person of a Guarantor shall
bind such Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individual shall have ceased to be such an authorized person prior to the authentication and delivery of the Securities upon which such Guarantees are endorsed or was not such an authorized person at
the date of such Securities. 

  
 -57- 

 The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute
due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the applicable Guarantor. 
 Section 1404 Release of Subsidiary Guarantor 

The Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Guarantees, and its Guarantees shall thereupon
terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect, in the event that at substantially the same time as its Guarantees are terminated pursuant to this Section 1404, the aggregate amount of indebtedness for money borrowed for which
the Subsidiary Guarantor is an obligor (as a guarantor, co-issuer or borrower) does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for money borrowed of the Parent Guarantor and
its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of such time. For purposes of this Section 1404, the amount of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s indebtedness for money borrowed shall not include (x) any other debt the terms of which permit the
termination of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of such debt under similar circumstances, as long as the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations in respect of such other debt are terminated at substantially the same time as its Guarantees
pursuant to this Section 1404, and (y) any debt that is being refinanced at substantially the same time that its Guarantees are being released pursuant to this Section 1404, provided that any obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor in
respect of the debt that is incurred in the refinancing shall be included in the calculation of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s indebtedness for money borrowed. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1404 shall not release the Parent
Guarantor (or any successor thereto) of its guarantee.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.
