 W I T N E S S E T H 

WHEREAS, the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of (i) $500,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 on the date hereof (the “Initial Notes”) and (ii) any additional Notes (“Additional Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, the
“Notes”) that may be issued after the Issue Date. 
 WHEREAS, all things necessary (i) to make the Notes, when
executed and duly issued by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered hereunder, the valid obligations of the Issuer, and (ii) to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer have been done. 

WHEREAS, the Notes will be guaranteed and secured by the Collateral on a senior secured basis by MicroStrategy Services Corporation and each
of the Issuer’s existing and future Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries, other than any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary and any other Non-Guarantor Subsidiary to the extent required herein. 

WHEREAS, the Notes will mature on June 15, 2028; provided that (x) the Notes will mature on September 15, 2025 (the
“First Springing Maturity Date”), which is the date that is 91 days prior to December 15, 2025, which is the maturity date of the Existing 2025 Notes, unless on the First Springing Maturity Date (i) the Issuer has
Liquidity in excess of 130% of the amount required to pay in full in cash the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of and accrued interest on the Existing 2025 Notes or (ii) less than $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the

of the Existing 2027 Notes, unless on the Second Springing Maturity Date (i) the Issuer has Liquidity in excess of 130% of the amount required to pay in full in cash the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of and accrued interest on the
Existing 2027 Notes or (ii) less than $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing 2027 Notes remains outstanding and (z) the Notes will mature on the date (such date, an “FCCR Springing Maturity Date”
and together with the First Springing Maturity Date and the Second Springing Maturity Date, each a “Springing Maturity Date”) that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of any FCCR Convertible Indebtedness unless on the FCCR
Springing Maturity Date (i) the Issuer has Liquidity in excess of 130% of the amount required to pay in full in cash the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of and accrued interest on such FCCR Convertible Indebtedness or (ii) less
than $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of such FCCR Convertible Indebtedness remains outstanding. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders, as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS AND
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 
 SECTION 1.1. Definitions. 

“ABL Indebtedness” means Indebtedness under Credit Facilities that are secured by a first priority lien on ABL Priority
Collateral and a second priority lien on the Notes Priority Collateral. 
 “ABL Priority Collateral” shall mean all
Collateral consisting of the following (including for the avoidance of doubt, any such assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws), would be ABL
Priority Collateral): 
  

	 	(1)	 all accounts, other than accounts which constitute identifiable proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral;

  
 -1- 

	 	(2)	 cash, money and cash equivalents; 

 

	 	(3)	 all (x) deposit accounts (other than Notes Priority Accounts) and money and all cash, checks, other
negotiable instruments, funds and other evidences of payments properly held therein, including intercompany indebtedness between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent owing in respect of ABL Priority Collateral,
(y) securities accounts (other than Notes Priority Accounts), security entitlements and securities credited to such a securities account (other than Capital Stock) and (z) commodity accounts (other than Notes Priority Accounts) and
commodity contracts credited thereto, and, in each case, all cash, money, cash equivalents, checks and other property properly held therein or credited thereto (other than Capital Stock); provided, however, that to the extent that identifiable
proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral are deposited in any such deposit accounts or securities accounts, such identifiable proceeds shall be treated as Notes Priority Collateral; 

 

	 	(4)	 all inventory; 

  

	 	(5)	 to the extent relating to, evidencing or governing any of the items referred to in the preceding clauses
(1) through (4) constituting ABL Priority Collateral, all documents, general intangibles (including all rights under contracts), instruments (including promissory notes), chattel paper (including tangible chattel paper and
electronic chattel paper), intellectual property, tax refunds and commercial tort claims; provided that to the extent any of the foregoing also relates to Notes Priority Collateral, only that portion related to the items referred to in the preceding
clauses (1) through (4) shall be included in the ABL Priority Collateral; 

  

	 	(6)	 to the extent relating to any of the items referred to in the preceding clauses
(1) through (5) constituting ABL Priority Collateral, all supporting obligations and letter-of-credit rights; provided that to the extent any of
the foregoing also relates to Notes Priority Collateral only that portion related to the items referred to in the preceding clauses (1) through (5) shall be included in the ABL Priority Collateral; 

 

	 	(7)	 all books and records relating to the items referred to in the preceding clauses
(1) through (6) constituting ABL Priority Collateral (including all books, databases, customer lists, engineer drawings, and records, whether tangible or electronic, which contain any information relating to any of the items
referred to in the preceding clauses (1) through (6) constituting ABL Priority Collateral); and 

  

	 	(8)	 all collateral security and guarantees, products or proceeds of or with respect to any of the foregoing items
referred to in the preceding clauses (1) through (7) constituting ABL Priority Collateral and all cash, money, cash equivalents, insurance proceeds (including business interruption insurance proceeds), instruments,
securities and financial assets received as proceeds of any of the foregoing items referred to in the preceding clauses (1) through (7) and this clause (8) constituting ABL Priority Collateral (“ABL
Priority Proceeds”). 

 “Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement” means an intercreditor agreement
expressly contemplated by this Indenture between the Collateral Agent and one or more Persons or representatives of Persons benefitting from a permitted Lien on any Collateral containing customary terms and conditions for comparable transactions (as
reasonably determined by the Issuer in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Collateral Agent certifying to that effect). 

  
 -2- 

 “Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person: 

 

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

 

	 	(2)	 Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person.
“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition,
“control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
agreement or otherwise. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings. 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any Redemption Date, the greater of: 

 

	 	(1)	 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note; and 

 

	 	(2)	 the excess, if any, of (a) the present value (discounted semi-annually) at such Redemption Date of
(i) the redemption price of such Note at June 15, 2024 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 5.7), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Note through
June 15, 2024 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such Redemption Date (or in the case of a satisfaction and discharge, as of the date
that redemption funds are deposited with the Trustee) plus 50 basis points, over (b) the then outstanding principal amount of such Note. 

The Issuer shall determine the Applicable Premium and the Trustee shall have no duty to verify any such determination. 

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of or for, redemption of, notice with respect to, or
other matter relating to the beneficial interests in any Global Note or the redemption or repurchase of any Global Note, the rules and the applicable procedures of DTC, the Depositary, Euroclear and/or Clearstream that apply to such transfer,

combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000. 
 “Asset Sale” means:

equipment in the ordinary course of business; provided that the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by the
provisions of this Indenture described in Section 3.9 and/or the provisions described in Section 4.1 and not by the provisions of Section 3.5; or 

 

	 	b)	 the issuance of Equity Interests in any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale by the Issuer
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests in any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (in each case, other than Preferred Stock). 

Notwithstanding the preceding, none of the following items will be deemed to be an Asset Sale: 

 

	 	(1)	 any single transaction or series of related transactions that involves assets or Equity Interests having a Fair

Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, determined in good faith by the Issuer or (b) the abandonment of intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business, which in the reasonable good faith determination of a member of the
senior management or Board of Directors of the Issuer are not material to the conduct of the business of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

 SECTION 1.3. UCC. Unless otherwise defined in this Indenture, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of
the UCC are used in this Indenture as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9. 
 SECTION 1.4. Rules of Construction.

 -40- 

 (6) “will” shall be interpreted to express a command; 

(7) the principal amount of any non-interest bearing or other discount security at any
date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP; 

(8) the principal amount of any Preferred Stock shall be (i) the maximum liquidation value of such Preferred Stock or
(ii) the maximum mandatory redemption or mandatory repurchase price with respect to such Preferred Stock, whichever is greater; 

(9) all amounts expressed in this Indenture or in any of the Notes in terms of money refer to the lawful currency of the United
States of America; 
 (10) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of
similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; 
 (11)
except as otherwise stated, (a) references herein to Articles, Sections and Exhibit mean the Articles and Sections of and Exhibits to this Indenture and (b) each reference herein to a particular Article or Section includes the Sections,
subsections and paragraphs subsidiary thereto; 
 (12) unless otherwise specifically indicated, the term
“consolidated” with respect to any Person refers to such Person consolidated with its Restricted Subsidiaries, and excludes from such consolidation any Unrestricted Subsidiary as if such Unrestricted Subsidiary were not an Affiliate of

 (13) references to sections of, or rules under, the Securities Act shall be deemed to include substitute,

 (14) words used herein implying any

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event an item of Indebtedness (or any
portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on any ratio based exceptions, thresholds and baskets, such ratio(s) shall be calculated with respect to such incurrence, issuance or other
transaction without giving effect to amounts being utilized under any other exceptions, thresholds or baskets (other than ratio based baskets) on the same date. Each item of Indebtedness that is incurred or issued, each Lien incurred and each other
transaction undertaken will be deemed to have been incurred, issued or taken first, to the extent available, pursuant to the relevant ratio based test. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any
Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on any ratio based exceptions, thresholds and baskets, such ratio(s) shall be calculated without regard to the incurrence of any Indebtedness under any revolving facility or letter of
credit facility (1) immediately prior to or in connection therewith or (2) used to finance working capital needs of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(d) When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture or compliance with any provision of this Indenture in
connection with any Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or
creation of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments and Asset Sales), in each case, at the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination for availability under
any such basket or ratio and whether any such action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default)) under this
Indenture shall be deemed to be the date (the “LCT Test Date”) either (a) the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable declaration of
a Restricted Payment or similar event), or (b) solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to
make an offer (or equivalent announcement in another jurisdiction) (an “LCT Public Offer”) in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction and, in each case, if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition
Transaction and any actions or transactions related 

  
 -41- 

 
thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or creation of Liens, repayments, Restricted
Payments and Asset Sales) and any related pro forma adjustments, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such
ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions), such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes (in the case of Indebtedness,
for example, whether such Indebtedness is committed, issued, assumed or incurred at the LCT Test Date or at any time thereafter); provided, that (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available,
the Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to redetermine all such ratios, tests or baskets on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of
such ratios, tests or baskets, (b) except as contemplated in the foregoing clause (a), compliance with such ratios, test or baskets (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the
applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transaction related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the
incurrence or creation of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments and Asset Sales) and (c) Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate as reasonably determined
by the Issuer. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein or anything else to the contrary, when calculating Consolidated Total Assets,
Consolidated EBITDA, Total Secured Leverage Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith,
including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), for which the Issuer has made an LCT Election, the date of determination of such Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Total Secured Leverage Ratio, Total Leverage
Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and of any requirement that there be no Event of Default shall, at the option of the Issuer be the LCT Test Date and such Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Total Secured Leverage Ratio, Total
Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they occurred at the
beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (with respect to Consolidated EBITDA generally and as used in the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Total Secured Leverage Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio), and the end of the four-quarter reference
period (with respect to Consolidated Total Assets), and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Total Secured Leverage Ratio or Total Leverage Ratio are exceeded (or are not met) as a result of fluctuations in any
such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA) or if Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA are reduced as a result of fluctuations in Consolidated Total Assets or otherwise at or prior to the consummation of the
relevant Limited Condition Transaction, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Total Secured Leverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, will not be deemed to have been exceeded (or not met) and such Consolidated Total Assets and
Consolidated EBITDA will not be deemed to be reduced as a result of such fluctuations or otherwise solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith)
is permitted hereunder and (y) Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Total Secured Leverage Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition
Transaction or related transactions; provided that, if the Issuer elects to have such determinations occur at the LCT Test Date, any such transaction shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreement is entered and
outstanding thereafter for purposes of subsequently calculating any ratios and Consolidated EBITDA (but not Consolidated Total Assets) under this Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation (or termination or expiration)
of such Limited Condition Transaction and to the extent baskets were utilized in satisfying any covenants, such baskets shall be deemed utilized, but any calculation of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Total Secured Leverage Ratio,
Total Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for purposes of other incurrences of Indebtedness or Liens or making of Restricted Payments (not related to such Limited Condition Transaction) shall not reflect such Limited Condition
Transaction until it is closed. 
 (f) For purposes of calculating Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Total Secured Leverage
Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: 
 (1) acquisitions that have been made by the specified
Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including through mergers or consolidations, or any Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 

  
 -42- 

 
acquired by the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and including any related financing transactions and including increases in ownership of Restricted Subsidiaries, during
the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to the Calculation Date will be given pro forma effect as if they had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period; 

(2) the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or
businesses (and ownership interests therein) disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded; 
 (3) the Fixed
Charges attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses (and ownership interests therein) disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded, but only to the extent that the
obligations giving rise to such Fixed Charges will not be obligations of the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following the Calculation Date; 

(4) any Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at
all times during such four-quarter reference period; 
 (5) any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on the Calculation
Date will be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at any time during such four-quarter reference period; and 

(6) if any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if
the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire reference period (taking into account any Hedging Obligation applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term as at the Calculation
Date in excess of 12 months). 
 (g) For purposes of calculating Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Total Secured Leverage
Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made (x) in accordance with Regulation S-X
under the Securities Act or (y) as determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. 
 (h) For
purposes of determining compliance with Section 3.2, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt
described in clauses (1) through (35) of the definition of Permitted Debt, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.2, the Issuer will be permitted to classify all
or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or any portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, in any manner that complies
with Section 3.2, it being understood that any such classification or reclassification will not result in a related classification or reclassification for purposes of the definition of “Permitted Collateral
Liens.” The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as
Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance
of Disqualified Stock for purposes of Section 3.2; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Issuer as accrued. Notwithstanding any
other provision of Section 3.2, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to Section 3.2, shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely
as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 
 (i) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (2) of the
definition of Permitted Debt above shall not be deemed to be an incurrence pursuant to, or reduce availability to incur Indebtedness under, clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt above. Unless the Issuer otherwise notifies the
Trustee, with respect to any Indebtedness incurred or Preferred Stock issued in reliance on a provision of Section 3.2 that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, including amounts
based on a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of
Section 3.2 covenant that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood
and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts. 

  
 -43- 

 (j) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 3.2, the
Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may elect to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness (including with respect to any revolving loan commitment) as being incurred at the time of such commitment, in which case
any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed to be an incurrence at such subsequent time. 
 (k) This
Indenture will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it
has junior priority with respect to the same collateral. In the case of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, when measuring the outstanding amount of such Indebtedness, such amount shall not include the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid
interest, dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, fees, costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with such refinancing. 

(l) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar
equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred (or first committed, in the case of revolving credit
debt); provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being renewed, refunded, refinanced, replaced, defeased or discharged (plus accrued interest and premium (including tender premium) thereon, original issue discount
on, and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with, such refinancing). 
 (m) The principal amount
of any Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being renewed, refunded, refinanced, replaced, defeased or discharged, shall be
calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Indebtedness is being renewed, refunded, refinanced, replaced, defeased or
discharged. 
 SECTION 1.5. Trust Indenture Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Indenture Act is not applicable to this
Indenture. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE NOTES 

SECTION 2.1. Form, Dating and Terms. 

(a) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Initial Notes
issued on the date hereof will be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. In addition, the Issuer may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, Additional Notes (as provided herein). Furthermore, Notes
may be authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer, exchange or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.6, Section 2.11,
Section 2.13, Section 5.6 or Section 9.5, in connection with an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 3.5 or in connection with a Change Offer
pursuant to Section 3.9. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer may not issue
any Additional Notes, unless such issuance is in compliance with Section 3.2. 

  
 -44- 

 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto, the following information: 
  

	 	(A)	 the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this
Indenture; 

  

	 	(B)	 the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest shall
accrue; and 

  

	 	(C)	 whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes. 

In authenticating and delivering Additional Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in
addition to the Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required by Section 13.2, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization, execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of such Additional Notes. 

The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture,
provided that any Additional Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number as the Initial Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Holders of
the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes will vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the Initial Notes or the Additional Notes shall have the right to
vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. 
 (b) The Initial Notes and any
Additional Notes (if issued as Restricted Notes) (the “Additional Restricted Notes”) will be resold initially only to (A) Persons they reasonably believe to be QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and
(B) Non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S. Such Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, persons reasonably believed to be QIBs and purchasers
in reliance on Regulation S in each case, in accordance with the procedure described herein. Additional Notes offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Issuer from time to time in accordance with applicable law. 

Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be QIBs in the United States of America in
reliance on Rule 144A (the “Rule 144A Notes”) shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture,
including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Rule 144A Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided. The Rule 144A Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of
the Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 

Initial Notes and any Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold to Non-U.S. Persons outside the
United States of America (the “Regulation S Notes”) in reliance on Regulation S initially will be represented by temporary global notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (each, a “Temporary Regulation S
Global Note”). Each Temporary Regulation S Global Note will be exchangeable for a single permanent note in registered, global form (each a “Permanent Regulation S Global Note” and, together with the Temporary Regulation S
Global Notes, a “Regulation S Global Note”) after the expiration the “distribution compliance period” (as defined in Regulation S). Each Regulation S Global Note will be deposited upon issuance with, or on behalf of, the
Trustee as custodian for DTC in the manner described in this Article II. Through and including the period ending 40 days after the commencement of the offering of the Notes (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in
the Temporary Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”) (as indirect participants in DTC). Within a reasonable time period
after the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Temporary Regulation S Global Note will be exchanged for the Permanent Regulation S Global Note upon delivery to DTC of certification of compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the
Notes and pursuant to Regulation S as provided in this Indenture and compliance with DTC’s procedures. 

  
 -45- 

 Investors may hold their interests in the Regulation S Global Note through organizations
other than Euroclear or Clearstream that are participants in DTC’s system or directly through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. If
such interests are held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear and Clearstream will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective
names on the books of their respective depositaries. Such depositaries, in turn, will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. 

The Regulation S Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum
principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its
nominee, as hereinafter provided. 
 The Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note are sometimes collectively herein referred
to as the “Global Notes.” 
 The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the
office or agency of the Paying Agent designated by the Issuer maintained for such purpose (which shall initially be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose), or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be maintained for such
purpose pursuant to Section 2.3; provided, however, that, at the option of the Paying Agent, each installment of interest may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as
such addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global
Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Definitive Notes (including principal, premium, if
any, and interest) held by a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes will be made in accordance with the Notes Register, or by wire transfer to a Dollar account maintained by the payee with a
bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account together with such information as may be reasonably required by the Trustee
or Paying Agent no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, may accept in its discretion). 

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set forth on
Exhibit A and in Section 2.1(d). The Issuer shall approve any notation, endorsement or legend on the Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit
A are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms. 

(c) Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and
any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) Restrictive and Global Note Legends. 

(1) Unless and until (a) an Initial Note or an Additional Note issued as a Restricted Note is sold under an effective
registration statement or (b) the Issuer and the Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Issuer to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with
the provisions of the Securities Act, the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note shall each bear the following legend on the face thereof: 

THE NOTES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION AND, ACCORDINGLY, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) OR (E) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO
REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY 

  
 -47- 

 
REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO
THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 (2) Each Global Note, whether
or not an Initial Note, shall bear the following legend on the face thereof: 
 UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE ISSUER OR THE AGENT OF THE ISSUER FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE
NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO DTC, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR
SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THIS INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF. 

In the case of a Regulation S Global Note: BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, NOR IS IT
PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON, AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 

(e) Book-Entry Provisions. (i) This Section 2.1(e) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with the
Trustee, as custodian for DTC, and for which the applicable procedures of DTC shall govern. 
 (1) Each Global Note initially
shall (x) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, (y) be delivered to the Notes Custodian for DTC and (z) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d)(2). Transfers of a Global Note (but not a
beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to DTC, its successors or its respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.1(e)(4) and
Section 2.1(f). If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Notes Custodian will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the
Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is
transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in
the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 

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

  
 -48- 

 (3) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest
in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(f) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Notes Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such
Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of
like tenor and amount. 
 (4) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
Section 2.1(f), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner
identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. 

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

(6) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such
Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that
ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 (f) Definitive Notes.
Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if
(A) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to
act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice, (B) the Issuer in its sole discretion executes and deliver to the Trustee and Registrar an Officer’s Certificate
stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from DTC. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the
second preceding sentence or in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Registrar a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes. In addition, any Note
transferred to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer or evidencing a Note that has been acquired by an affiliate in a transaction or series of transactions not involving any public offering must, until one year
after the last date on which either the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was an owner of the Note, be in the form of a Definitive Note and bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions in Section 2.1(d)(1). If
required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may also obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with DTC’s and the
Registrar’s procedures. 
 (1) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
Section 2.1(e) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Note set forth in
Section 2.1(d)(1). 
 (2) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial
interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such
transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note
representing the principal amount not so transferred. 
 (3) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another
Definitive Note, (x) the Trustee will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in
authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Note (in the

  
 -49- 

 
case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled
Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
 (4)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in no event shall a Definitive Note be delivered upon exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note prior to the end of the Restricted Period. 

SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication. One Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile, PDF
or other electronic signature. If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 

(a) A Note shall not be valid until an authorized officer of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a
Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery: (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, and (2) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an unlimited principal amount, in
each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer (the “Issuer Order”). Such Issuer Order shall specify whether the Notes will be in the form of Definitive Notes or Global Notes, the amount of the Notes to be
authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, the Holder of the Notes and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes. 

(c) The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the
Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of
notices and demands. 
 (d) In case any of the Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article IV or
Section 10.2, as applicable, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and
the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as
aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV or Section 10.2, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
transfer, lease or other disposition may (but shall not be required), from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as
may be appropriate to reflect such successor Person, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall
authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this
Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the
time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name. 
 SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer
shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Notes Register”). The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.
The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar. 

  
 -50- 

 The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying
Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain
a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Issuer or any Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer
agent. 
 The Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee
as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuer may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to the Holders, but upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that
no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to
the Trustee and the passage of any waiting or notice periods required by DTC procedures or (ii) written notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance
with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee. 

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium or interest when due. The Issuer shall require
each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders and the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer or other obligors on the Notes), shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer or any Guarantor in making any such payment and shall during the continuance
of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith deliver to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for
payment in respect of the Notes together with a full accounting thereof. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at
any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds or assets disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as
Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.5. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the Guarantors, shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to
the Trustee, in writing at least five (5) Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names
and addresses of Holders. 
 SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein)
for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Registrar a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other
document required by this Section 2.6. The Registrar will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 2.6 by noting the same in the Notes Register
maintained by the Registrar for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such Notes Register. The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with
this Section 2.6 and Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(f), as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and
procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Registrar shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this paragraph. 

  
 -51- 

 (b) Transfers of Rule 144A Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect
to any proposed registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or
any predecessor thereto): 
 (1) a registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB
shall be made upon the representation of the transferee in the form as set forth on the reverse of the Note that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any
such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuer as the
undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by
Rule 144A; provided that no such written representation or other written certification shall be required in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee in the form of a beneficial
interest in that Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of DTC; and 
 (2) a
registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Registrar or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth
in Section 2.9 from the proposed transferee and the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer. 

(3) A registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to an Institutional Accredited Investor
shall be made upon receipt by the Registrar or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.10 from the proposed transferee and the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel,
certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer. 
 (c) Transfers of Regulation S Notes. 

(1) During the Restricted Period, a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein may be transferred to a person who takes
delivery in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Note only if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144A and the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth in
Section 2.9 that such transfer is being made to a person who the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or otherwise in accordance with the transfer restrictions
described under “Note to Investors” in the Offering Memorandum and in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions; and 

(2) Prior to the exchange of any beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial interest in a
Permanent Regulation S Global Note, (x) the holder of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note must provide Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, with a certificate substantially in the form set forth in
Section 2.17 and (y) Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, must provide to the Trustee (or the paying agent if other than the Trustee) a certificate substantially in the form set forth in
Section 2.17. 
 After the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Note may be
transferred in accordance with applicable law without requiring the certification set forth in Section 2.9 or any additional certification. 

(d) Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar
shall deliver Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Restricted Notes Legend unless (1) an
Initial Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective 

  
 -52- 

 
registration statement, (2) Initial Notes are being exchanged for Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend or (3) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Any Additional Notes sold in a registered
offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 
 (e) [Reserved]. 

(f) Retention of Written Communications. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.6 in accordance with applicable law and the Registrar’s customary procedures. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of
all such letters, notices or other written communications, at the Issuer’s expense, at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable prior written notice to the Registrar. 

(g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall,
subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Issuer’s and the Registrar’s written request. 

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require the Holder to pay a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax assessments or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
Section 2.2, Section 2.6, Section 2.11, Section 2.13, Section 3.5, Section 5.6 or
Section 9.5). 
 The Issuer (and the Registrar) shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of
any Note (A) for a period beginning (1) 15 calendar days before the mailing (or electronic delivery) of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing (or electronic delivery)
or (2) 15 calendar days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date or (B) called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem
and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to paragraph 2 of the form of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A) interest
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, including without limitation the transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. 
 Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
Section 2.1(f) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Definitive Note set forth in
Section 2.1(d)(1). 
 All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall
evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(h) No Obligation of the Trustee. (1) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global
Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the
delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with
respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its
nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 

  
 -53- 

 Neither the Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members
or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC.

6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In connection with our
proposed sale of $[            ] aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we confirm that such sale has been effected to an Institutional Accredited Investor and pursuant to an exemption
from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) other than Rule 144A, Rule 144, Rule 903 or Rule 904, and the Transferor hereby certifies, and, accordingly, we
represent that: 
 1. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes or any interest therein is subject to certain restrictions and
conditions set forth in this Indenture and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes or any interest therein except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act.

 2. We understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes and any
interest therein may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell the Notes or any interest
therein, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales of the Notes under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, we will do so only (A) to the Issuers or any subsidiary thereof, (B) in accordance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined therein), (C) to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S.
broker-dealer) to you and to the Issuer a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter and an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act,
(D) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (E) pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (F) in accordance with another exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Issuers) or (G) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 

  
 -57- 

 
Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any person purchasing the Definitive Note or beneficial interest in a Global Note from us in a transaction meeting the requirements of
clauses (A) through (F) of this paragraph a notice advising such purchaser that resales thereof are restricted as stated herein. 

3. We understand that, on any proposed resale of the Notes or beneficial interest therein, we will be required to furnish to you and the
Issuer such certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and the Issuers may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear
a legend to the foregoing effect. 
 4. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3),
(7), (9), (12) or (13) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any
accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 
 5. We are acquiring the Notes or
beneficial interest therein purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion. 

We also hereby certify that we [are][are not] an Affiliate of the Issuer and, to our knowledge, the transferee of the Notes [is][is not] an
Affiliate of the Issuer. 
 The Trustee and the Issuer are entitled to conclusively rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to
produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Terms used in this certificate and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
set forth in Regulation S.

 SECTION 2.11. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If a mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuer and the Trustee that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken within a reasonable time after such Holder has
notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee in writing prior to the Note being acquired by a
protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC (a “protected purchaser”), (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee and (d) provides an indemnity bond, as
more fully described below; provided, however, if after the delivery of such replacement Note, a protected purchaser of the Note for which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such replaced Note, the
Trustee and/or the Issuer shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was issued and delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the (i) Trustee to protect
the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar, from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee
that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.11, the Issuer may require that such Holder pay 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 counsel and of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 

Subject to the proviso in the initial paragraph of this Section 2.11, every new Note issued pursuant to this
Section 2.11, in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, any Guarantor (if applicable) and any other obligor upon the Notes,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section 2.11 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 Notes. 
 SECTION 2.12. Outstanding
Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.11 and those described in this
Section 2.12 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding in the event the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining which
are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of Section 13.4 shall apply and (ii) in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of the
requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of Holders of Notes for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or
modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be held by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall not be considered outstanding. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.11 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases
to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement pursuant to
Section 2.11. 
 If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a
Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on that date 

  
 -59- 

 
with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

SECTION 2.13. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such
Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of Definitive Notes
but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes. After the preparation of
Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Notes
representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes. 

SECTION 2.14. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying
Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and
dispose of such Notes in accordance with its internal policies and customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee). If the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.14. The Issuer may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange. 

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

SECTION 2.15. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note 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 such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such payment at the office or agency of the
Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3. 
 Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is
not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular record date, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on
such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election, as provided in clause
(a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons
in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at
the same time the Issuer 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 Section 2.15(a). Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a record date (the

  
 -60- 

 “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which date shall be not
more than twenty (20) calendar days and not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 13.1, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective
predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the provisions in Section 2.15(b)  

(b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), such
manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.15, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such other Note. 
 SECTION 2.16. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”
and “ISIN” numbers and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and
any such redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP and ISIN numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

 SECTION 2.18. Springing Maturity. 

(a) Springing Maturity Date. The Notes will mature (x) if the Springing Maturity Condition does not apply, on June 15, 2028,
or (y) if the applicable Springing Maturity Condition does apply, the applicable Springing Maturity Date; provided that, if such day is not a Business Day, the Springing Maturity Date shall be the Business Day immediately succeeding such
day. Any provisions relating to the determination of a minimum tenor, maturity or weighted average life with respect to any permitted Indebtedness (including without limitation Refinancing Indebtedness) in this Indenture shall assume (solely for
purposes of such determination) that June 15, 2028 is the maturity date of the Notes. 
 (b) Notice to Trustee of Springing Maturity
Redemption. At least two Business Days (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) before notice of any anticipated Springing Maturity Date is required to be delivered or mailed to Holders pursuant to
Section 2.18(c), the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee the form of such notice together with an Officer’s Certificate. 

(c) Notice of Springing Maturity Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before any anticipated Springing Maturity Date,
Trustee shall give the notice of the anticipated Springing Maturity Date, to the Holders; provided, that the Issuer shall have delivered electronically to the Trustee, at least two Business Days (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by
the Trustee) before such notice is required to be delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.18(c), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be
stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. Such Springing Maturity Date shall be conditioned on the Springing Maturity Condition. 

The notice shall state: 
 (i) The
anticipated Springing Maturity Date; 
 (ii) the aggregate amount payable in respect of the Notes on the Springing Maturity Date; 

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

(iv) that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment; 

(v) that interest shall continue to accrue to but excluding the Springing Maturity Date; and 

(vi) that the Springing Maturity Date is conditioned on the Springing Maturity Condition. 

If the Notes are listed on an exchange, for so long as the Notes are so listed and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange
of any anticipated Springing Maturity Date. 
 (d) Effect of Notice of Springing Maturity Redemption. A notice of anticipated
Springing Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.18, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to
deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the payment of any other Note. Subject to compliance with Section 2.18(e) hereof, on and after
the Springing Maturity Date, the Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest thereon shall cease to accrue on the Notes. 
 (e)
Deposit of Springing Maturity Funds. 
 (1) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Springing Maturity
Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the aggregate amount payable in respect of the Notes on the Springing Maturity Date and accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Springing
Maturity Date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will provide notice to the Issuer of any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the principal owing on the Notes and accrued and
unpaid interest to but excluding the Springing Maturity Date. 

  
 -63- 

 
Upon written request of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the principal owing on the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Springing Maturity Date. 

(2) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding clause (1), on and after the Springing Maturity Date,
the Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest thereon shall cease to accrue. 
 ARTICLE III 

COVENANTS 

SECTION 3.1. Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the
dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in
accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall
pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Indenture, the Issuer may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder. 

SECTION 3.2. Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Existing Digital Assets Subsidiaries) to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and
the Issuer will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than an Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary that is not the Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary Holdco) to issue any shares of Preferred
Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Preferred Stock, if the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such
Disqualified Stock or such Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0 (or solely with respect to Indebtedness that is convertible into, or exchangeable for, Capital Stock, at least 1.0 to 1.0), determined on a
pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds thereof), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning
of such four-quarter period; provided further that (i) the maximum aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred by any Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any
Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary) pursuant to this paragraph and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof shall not exceed the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 20% of Trailing Consolidated EBITDA and (ii) any
Indebtedness that is convertible into, or exchangeable for, Capital Stock (“FCCR Convertible Indebtedness”) shall either (A) have a final maturity date later than the final maturity date of the Notes or (B) to the extent
such Indebtedness has a final maturity date earlier than the final maturity date of the Notes, the Notes will mature on such date that is 91 days prior to such earlier maturity date unless on such date (i) the Issuer has Liquidity in excess of 130%
of the amount required to pay in full in cash the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of and accrued interest on such Indebtedness or (ii) less than $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness remain
outstanding 91 days prior to the final maturity date of such Indebtedness (any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the provisions described in this paragraph being herein referred to as “Ratio Indebtedness”). 

  
 -64- 

 (b) Section 3.2(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of
Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 
 (1) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including any ABL Indebtedness) or letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a
principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 40% of Trailing Consolidated EBITDA provided,
however, that any such Indebtedness or letters of credit under Credit Facilities will be used in the ordinary course of business of the Existing Software & Services Business and will not be used to acquire Digital Assets; 

(2) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; 

(3) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease
Obligations, mortgage financings, industrial revenue bonds, economic development loans and purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing (whether prior to or within 270 days after) all or any part of the purchase
price or cost of design, development, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment or other assets used or useful in the business of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether through the direct purchase
of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets and whether such Indebtedness is owed to the seller or Person carrying out such construction or improvement or to any third party) (including any reasonably related fees or expenses
incurred in connection with such purchase, design, construction, installation or improvement); provided that the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund,
refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (3), shall not exceed the greater of (x) $20.0 million and (y) 15% of Trailing Consolidated EBITDA; 

(4) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for,
or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under
Section 3.2(a) or clauses (2), (4), (5), (12), (14), (15), (17) or (34) of this Section 3.2(b); 

(5) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer
and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 
 (a) if the Issuer or any Guarantor is the
obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be subordinated (to the extent permitted by law) to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the
case of the Issuer, or the Guarantee, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (for the avoidance of doubt, any such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations unless the terms of such Indebtedness
expressly provide otherwise); 
 (b) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such
Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and 
 (c) any sale or other
transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, 
 will be deemed, in each
case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (5); 

  
 -65- 

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

(b) any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Issuer, 
 will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not
permitted by this clause (6); 
 (7) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging
Obligations entered into for bona fide hedging purposes (and not for speculative purposes) as determined in good faith by the Issuer; 

(8) the guarantee (a) by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Issuer that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 3.2; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee
shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed and (b) by any Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of another Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary) that is permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 3.2; 

(9) Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with
respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type
obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance; 
 (10) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability and other types of employee benefits, social security benefits, unemployment and other self-insurance obligations, vehicle, property,
casualty or liability insurance or other similar bonds, the financing of insurance premiums in the ordinary course of business, bankers’ acceptances, performance, surety, judgment, appeal, bid and performance bonds, trade contracts and leases,

(23) restrictions arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not,
individually or in the aggregate (x) detract from the value of property or assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or (y) materially affect the Issuer’s
ability to make future principal or interest payments on the Notes, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Issuer; and 

(24) arising under any amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or
refinancing of an agreement or arrangement referred to in clauses (1), (2), (4), (6), (8), (12), (13), (14), (16), (18) and (20) through (23) of this Section 3.4(b); provided that
such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing is not materially more restrictive, as determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer, with
respect to such encumbrances and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 

SECTION 3.5. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary) to,
consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
 (1) the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration
at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (determined by the Issuer in good faith as of the date of contractual agreement to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

  
 -75- 

 (2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale (except to
the extent the Asset Sale is a Permitted Asset Swap) with a purchase price in excess of $5.0 million by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents, Digital Assets or Replacement Assets. For
purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 
 (a) any Indebtedness or liabilities, as shown
on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto (or, if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Issuer’s most recent
consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Issuer), of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
(other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary has been released in
writing; 
 (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such
transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; 

(c) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the succeeding paragraph of
this Section 3.5; and 
 (d) any Designated Non-Cash
Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being
determined by the Issuer in good faith as of the date of contractual agreement to such Asset Sale) taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause
(d) that is at that time outstanding not to exceed the greater of $20.0 million and 15.0% of Trailing Consolidated EBITDA. 

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may
apply an amount equal to such Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 
 (1) (x) if assets subject to
such Asset Sale constitute Collateral, to prepay, repay, redeem, settle conversions of or purchase (i) Obligations in respect of the Notes, (ii) Pari Passu Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien
securing the Notes, including any ABL Indebtedness or (iii) Indebtedness that is secured by the assets which are the subject of such Asset Sale and (y) if assets subject to such Asset Sale do not constitute Collateral, to prepay, repay or
purchase Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) or Obligations in respect of Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes
(including Pari Passu Indebtedness and any ABL Indebtedness); provided that in connection with any prepayment, repayment, redemption, settlement or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (1), the Issuer or any such Restricted
Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (other than obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset Sale
constituted “borrowing base assets”) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed, converted or purchased; provided further that in connection with any prepayment, repayment,
redemption, conversion or purchase of Indebtedness other than Obligations in respect of the Notes pursuant to clause (1)(x)(ii) or (iii) or (1)(y), the Issuer shall also equally and ratably reduce Indebtedness under the Notes by making
an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer with Excess Proceeds) to all Holders to purchase, on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized
denominations for the Notes), the principal amount of Notes, in each case, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of
purchase; 
 (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a division or line of business of or a majority of the
Capital Stock of, another Similar Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Similar Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; 

  
 -76- 

 (3) to make a capital expenditure or other expenditures in connection with
the construction, operation, maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets; 
 (4) to acquire or
invest in Replacement Assets or acquire long-term assets in another Similar Business; 
 (5) to acquire Digital Assets; or

 (6) any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that in the case of clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) above, (i) any such acquisition, expenditure or investment in accordance
with such clause may be made by means of an acquisition, expenditure or investment by a Restricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) if the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary enters into a binding commitment within such 450 day period, such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale if an amount equal to such Net Proceeds is applied within 180 days
of the end of the 450 day period (provided further that if such commitment is later terminated or canceled before such Net Proceeds are applied and the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment (the
“Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination (or, if later, 450 days from the receipt of such Net Proceeds), such Second Commitment shall be treated as a binding commitment; provided further that
if any Second Commitment is later terminated or canceled before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds if not otherwise applied as provided above within 450 days of the receipt of such Net Proceeds),
(iii) if assets subject to such Asset Sale constitute Collateral, any assets acquired or investment described in clauses (2), (4) and (5) above shall be pledged as Collateral to secure the Notes to the extent required by
the Collateral Documents (and pursuant to the terms thereof) and (iv) if assets subject to such Asset Sale constitute Collateral, any such assets underlying any expenditure described in clause (3) above shall be pledged as
Collateral to secure the Notes to the extent required by the Collateral Documents (and pursuant to the terms thereof). 
 (c) Pending the
final application of the amount of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise apply the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture
and the Issuer (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be) may elect to invest in Replacement Assets or in assets or Capital Stock of a Similar Business prior to receiving the Net Proceeds attributable to any given Asset Sale
(provided that such investment shall be made no earlier than the earliest of (x) notice to the Trustee of the relevant Asset Sale, (but for purposes of clarity, no such notice of such Asset Sale is otherwise required hereunder), (y) execution
of a definitive agreement for the relevant Asset Sale, and (z) consummation of the relevant Asset Sale) and deem the amount so invested to be applied pursuant to and in accordance with clauses (2) to (4) of
Section 3.5(b) with respect to such Asset Sale. 
 (d) The amount of any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that is not
applied or invested as described in Section 3.5(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, within 30 days thereof, unless waived or
modified with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and subject to the limitations with respect to Foreign Dispositions set forth in Section 3.5(f),
the Issuer will make an Asset Sale Offer by electronic transmission (for Notes held in book-entry form) to all Holders of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) and all holders of other Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari
passu with the Lien securing the Notes, including any ABL Indebtedness to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset
Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount being purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to
such Net Proceeds from Asset Sales by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to all or a portion of the available Net Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (the “Advance
Offer”). If any Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion)
for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, including for Restricted Payments. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuer will select the Notes and 

  
 -77- 

 
such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized denominations for the Notes). Upon completion of each Asset
Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
 (e) To the extent that any portion of Net Proceeds from Assets Sales
payable in respect of the Notes is denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in U.S. dollars that is actually received by the Issuer upon converting
such portion into U.S. dollars. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.5, (i) to the extent
that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds
so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 3.5, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not
permit repatriation to the United States (the Issuer hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions available under the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such
repatriation of any such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after
such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) in compliance with this Section 3.5 and (ii) to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that
repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition would have a material adverse Tax consequence (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any repatriation whereby doing so the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary would incur a material tax liability, including as a result of a dividend or deemed dividend, or a withholding tax, but taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit received in connection with such repatriation) with
respect to such Net Proceeds, the Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when the Issuer determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition
would no longer have a material adverse Tax consequence, such Net Proceeds shall be promptly applied in accordance with this covenant. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the
foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default. 
 (g) The Issuer will comply in all
material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with
each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 

SECTION 3.6. Limitation on Liens 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired. The foregoing shall not apply to: 

(1) in the case of a Lien securing Indebtedness upon any property or asset that does not constitute Collateral, Permitted
Liens; provided, however, that any Lien on such asset shall be permitted notwithstanding that it is not a Permitted Lien if all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the
obligations so secured by such Lien until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien; and 
 (2) in the
case of any property or asset that constitutes Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens. 
 (b) In the case of the proviso in clause
(1) of Section 3.6(a), if the Obligations so secured are Subordinated Indebtedness, the Lien securing such Obligations will also be so subordinated by its terms at least to the same extent. 

  
 -78- 

 (c) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to clause
(1) of Section 3.6(a) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the applicable Lien described in clause
(1) of Section 3.6(a). 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 3.6, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or
pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3.6(a), in the case of a Lien securing Indebtedness upon any property or asset that does not constitute Collateral, but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof
and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) upon any property or asset that does not constitute Collateral meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion
thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such Lien securing such item of
Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 3.6 and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or any portion
thereof) in one of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” and, in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will be treated as
being incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to any
other clause or paragraph, it being understood that any such classification or reclassification will not result in a related classification or reclassification of the definition of Permitted Collateral Lien. 

(e) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such
Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness means any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of
interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Issuer, accretion of original issue
discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. 

SECTION 3.7. Limitation on Guarantees The Issuer shall cause each of its Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) to become a Guarantor and execute and deliver a supplemental indenture and all documents required to be executed and delivered and take all actions required to grant a security interest in
the Collateral to the Collateral Agent within 90 days of the date on which it became a guarantor of any obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor; provided that this Section 3.7 shall not be applicable (i) to
any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) in the event
that the Guarantee of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture by such Subsidiary would not be permitted under applicable law. 

The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause or allow, as the case may be, any Subsidiary (including an Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case, such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 90 day period described above and such
Guarantee may be released at any time in the Issuer’s sole discretion so long as any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary then outstanding could have been incurred by such Subsidiary (either (x) when so incurred or (y) at the time of the
release of such Guarantee) assuming such Subsidiary were not a Guarantor at such time. The Issuer shall deliver notice to the Trustee of such release, but failure to so notify the Trustee shall not constitute an Event of Default. 

SECTION 3.8. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance
or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer with a Fair Market Value in excess of the greater of $10.0 million or 10% of Trailing Consolidated EBITDA (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
those that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unaffiliated Person; and 

  
 -79- 

 (2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of $20.0 million and 40% of Trailing Consolidated EBITDA, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by a majority of the disinterested members
of the Board of Directors of the Issuer as the case may be, approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this
Section 3.8. 
 (b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will
not be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.8: 
 (1) any employment agreement, employee
benefit plan, employee stock ownership plan, program or arrangement, indemnification or reimbursement agreement or arrangement for directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants, stock option, stock repurchase agreement, service agreement,
incentive agreement, consulting agreement, severance agreement, insurance plan or any similar agreement, plan or arrangement (including director compensation), in each case entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto and any indemnification agreement or director and officer insurance arrangement that any of them may enter into with any director or officer of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or with
the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of any director or officer of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; 

(2) transactions solely between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Existing Digital Assets
Subsidiary); 
 (3) transactions with a Person (other than any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary or an Unrestricted
Subsidiary of the Issuer that is an Affiliate of the Issuer) solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 

(4) payment of reasonable directors’ fees and reasonable compensation to officers, employees and consultants; 

(5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to Affiliates, directors, officers or
employees of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to holders of Equity Interests in the Issuer; 
 (6) (i)
obligations that are permitted by Section 3.2; (ii) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 3.3 and entering into all agreements and arrangements that relate to such Restricted Payments;
or (iii) Permitted Investments; 
 (7) loans and advances paid to officers, directors, consultants, managers or
employees of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; 

(8) transactions with Affiliates that are customers, clients, lessors, lessees, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners
or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case which are in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, and which are fair to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as
applicable, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, or are on terms that, taken as a whole, are materially not less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained,
at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with
a Person that is not an Affiliate; 

  
 -80- 

 (9) transactions permitted by Section 4.1; 

(10) transactions between the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that is an Affiliate of the Issuer or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries solely because a director of such Person is also a director of the Issuer; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director on any matter involving such other Person; 

(11) transactions with any Person solely in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Issuer or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries if such transaction provides for equal treatment of such Person and all other holders, in their capacity as holders, of the same series of such Indebtedness or of the same class of such Capital Stock; 

(12) transactions pursuant to permitted agreements in existence on the Issue Date or any amendments, restatements, amendments
and restatements, modifications, supplements or replacements thereto to the extent such amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, modifications, supplements or replacements, taken as a whole, is not adverse to the Holders in any
material respect; 
 (13) contracts or arrangements between the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and any of its Affiliates
regarding coordination or joint defense of any litigation or any other action, suit, proceeding, claim or dispute before any courts, arbitrators or governmental authority; 

(14) the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection with the issuance of Equity Interests or other
securities by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (15) transactions pursuant to agreements or arrangements
to be in effect on the Issue Date, or any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or renewal or replacement thereof as long as such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented, renewed or replaced, taken as a whole, is not
materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date as determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Issuer; 

(16) employment and severance or termination arrangements between the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or the Parent Entity
and any of the Issuer’s or a Restricted Subsidiaries’ respective Employees (including management and employee benefit plans or agreements, subscription agreements or similar agreements pertaining to the repurchase of Capital Stock pursuant
to put/call rights or similar rights with current or former Employees and stock option or incentive plans and other compensation arrangements) in the ordinary course of business and otherwise permitted under this Indenture;

acquisition of Securitization Assets, Receivables Assets or related assets in connection with any Qualified Securitization Financing or Receivables Facility; 

(18) the Transactions and the payment of all costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting and other professional fees
and expenses) related to the Transactions; 
 (19) transactions with Existing Digital Assets Subsidiaries, joint ventures or
Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are Permitted Investments; 
 (20) intercompany transactions undertaken in good faith for the
purpose of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any covenant set forth in this Indenture; provided that, after giving effect to any such transactions, the Guarantees
and the security interests of the Holders in the Collateral, taken as a whole, would not be adversely impaired in any material respect; and 

(21) any merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Issuer with an Affiliate of the Issuer and solely for purpose of
(i) forming or collapsing a holding company structure or (ii) reincorporating the Issuer in a new jurisdiction; provided that, after giving effect to any such transactions, the Guarantees and the security interests of the Holders in the
Collateral, taken as a whole, would not be adversely impaired in any material respect. 

  
 -81- 

 SECTION 3.9. Change of Control or Fundamental Change. 

(a) If a Change of Control or Fundamental Change occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or
any part (equal to a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change Offer (a “Change Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Indenture. In a Change Offer, the
Issuer will offer a payment (a “Change Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase
(the “Change Payment Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive the interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control or Fundamental
Change, the Issuer will send a notice by electronic transmission (for Notes held in book-entry form) to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control or Fundamental Change
and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and
described in such notice. The Issuer will comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those
laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control or Fundamental Change. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control
or Fundamental Change provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control or Fundamental Change provisions of
this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 (b) On the Change Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change Offer; 

(2) deposit with the applicable paying agent (or tender agent appointed for such repurchase) an amount equal to the Change
Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 

(c) The paying agent or tender agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change Payment for such Notes, and if
certificated notes are tendered for repurchase, the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the certificated Notes
surrendered, if any; provided that each certificated Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Notes so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the
Change Payment Date. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change Payment Date. 

(d) The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change Offer following a Change of Control or Fundamental Change will be
applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control or Fundamental Change, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to
require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 
 (e) A Change
Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control or Fundamental Change, and conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control or Fundamental Change, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control or Fundamental Change at
the time of making of the Change Offer. The closing date of any such Change Offer made in advance of a Change of Control or Fundamental Change may be changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control or Fundamental Change;
provided that such closing date is not earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date the Change Offer notice is mailed as described in the first paragraph of this Section 3.9. 

  
 -82- 

 (f) The Issuer will not be required to make a Change Offer upon a Change of Control or
Fundamental Change if (1) a third party makes the Change Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or Fundamental Change, (2) notice of redemption has been or will be given pursuant to Section 5.7 prior to the date the Issuer is required to send
notice of the Change Offer to the Holders of the Notes, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, (3) the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change Offer are waived or modified with
the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, or (4) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control or Fundamental Change, the Issuer or a third party has made an offer to
purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change Payment (the “Alternate Offer Price”) and purchases all Notes properly tendered in accordance
with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 
 (g) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change Offer or Alternate Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change Offer or Alternate Offer, as applicable, as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee), given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant
to the Change Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change Payment or Alternate Offer Price, as applicable, plus, to the extent not included

 SECTION 3.10. Reports. 

(a) Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or

Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 

  
 -83- 

 provided further, however, with respect to the information and reports
required by the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2), that (a) such information and reports will not be required to comply with Section 302, 404 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related

Rules); (d) the schedules identified in Section 5-04 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (or any successor Section) will not be required; (e) no exhibits pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K (or any successor Item) under the Securities Act will be required (other than financial statements and pro forma financial information as the chief financial officer or principal financial or accounting
officer reasonably determines to be material to Holders or the business, assets, operations, financial positions or prospects of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, if such information would be required pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b) of Item 9.01 of Form 8-K (in each case relating to transactions required to be reported pursuant to Item 2.01 of Form
8-K to the extent available (as reasonably determined by the Issuer)); (f) no information required by Item 402 of Regulation S-K need be provided; and
(g) financial statements need not be in interactive data format using extensible Business Reporting Language. 
 The Issuer will
(a) furnish the information and reports described in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 3.10(a) (the “Financial Reports”) electronically to the Trustee and (b) make the
Financial Reports available to any Holder or beneficial owner of notes, any prospective investor, any security analyst and any market maker affiliated with any initial purchaser by posting the Financial Reports on Intralinks or any comparable
password protected online data system with notification and alert capabilities (the “Secure Website”); provided that the Issuer shall not be required to make available any password or other login information to any competitor
of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries or any person other than any such Holder, beneficial owner, prospective investor, security analyst or market maker that establishes its identity as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if the Issuer or any Parent Entity has furnished the Holders or filed with the SEC the reports described in the preceding paragraphs with respect to the Issuer or any Parent Entity, the
Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.10. 
 (b) In addition, the
Issuer will, beginning in connection with the Financial Report for the quarter ending September 30, 2021: 
 (1) hold a
quarterly conference call to discuss the information contained in the Financial Reports not later than 20 Business Days from the time the Issuer furnishes the Financial Reports to the Trustee; and 

(2) no fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with
clause (1) above, use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to notify the Holders or beneficial owners of, and prospective investors in, the notes and securities analysts and market makers (subject to the proviso in the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph) (the “Recipients”) of the availability of the Financial Reports and information on how to access such conference call by posting to the Secure Website an announcement and making appropriate selections
with the Secure Website’s settings to cause a notification or alert to be sent to the Recipients to the extent reasonably feasible. 

In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, they will furnish to the Holders of Notes
and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine if and when any of the above reports have been filed or posted to any website. Delivery
of the above reports to the Trustee are for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports will constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, including the Issuer’s or any other party’s
compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee may rely conclusively rely on Officer’s Certificates). 

  
 -84- 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will be deemed to have delivered such reports and
information referred to above to the Holders and the Trustee for all purposes of this Indenture if the Issuer has filed such reports with the SEC via EDGAR filing system (or any successor system) and such reports are publicly available. In addition,
the requirements of this covenant will be deemed satisfied and the issuer will be deemed to have delivered such reports and information referred to above to the Trustee for all purposes of this Indenture by the posting of reports and information
that would be required to be provided on the Secure Website. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Issuer will not
be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its agreements contained in this Indenture or the notes for purposes of clause (4) under Section 6.1 until 60 days after the date any report hereunder is due, and
failure to comply with this covenant shall be automatically cured when the Issuer makes all required reports available to the holders through the methods set forth above or files all required reports with the SEC. 

SECTION 3.11. Business Activities. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than the Similar Business, except
to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary) taken as a whole. 

SECTION 3.12. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where, if applicable, the Notes may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The corporate trust office of the Trustee, which initially shall be located at U.S. Bank National Association, Global Corporate Trust Services, One Federal Street, 10th Floor, Boston, MA 02110, Attention: Karen Beard, shall be such office or agency of the Issuer, unless the Issuer shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such
purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee
with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations and surrenders. 

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency. No office
of the Trustee shall be an office or agency of the Issuer for the purposes of service of legal process on the Issuer or any Guarantor. 

SECTION 3.13. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 3.14. After-Acquired Collateral; Further Assurances 

(a) From and after the Issue Date, if (a) any Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor or (b) the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any
property or rights which are of a type constituting Collateral under any Collateral Document (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets or assets not required to be Collateral pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents),
the Issuer or such Guarantor will be required to execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements and such certificates as are required under this Indenture or any Collateral Document to vest in the Collateral Agent a security
interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such after-acquired collateral (or all of its assets, except Excluded Assets, in the case of a new Guarantor) and to take such actions to add such after-acquired collateral to the Collateral and satisfy the
Collateral Requirement in respect thereof, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired collateral to the same extent and with the same force
and effect. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, opinions of counsel will not be required after the Issue Date in connection with any
additional Guarantors entering into the Collateral Documents or to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in after-acquired collateral owned by such Guarantors. 

  
 -85- 

 (c) To the extent the Collateral Agent has not been granted control over any Digital Asset
subject to a security interest granted under the Collateral Agreement in the form of Control Agreements over any other securities account that is not the Digital Assets Securities Account that is being opened to hold any Digital Assets after the
Issue Date, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a Control Agreement within 60 days following the date such Digital Assets are first held in such other securities account that is not the Digital Assets Securities Account.

 SECTION 3.15. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 135 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Issuer an Officer’s Certificate, the signer of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, principal legal officer, secretary or treasurer of the Issuer, stating that in
the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default that
occurred during the previous fiscal year; provided that no such Officer’s Certificate shall be required for any fiscal year ended prior to the Issue Date. If such Officer does have such knowledge, the certificate shall describe the
Default or Event of Default, its status and the action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 3.16.
[Reserved]. 
 SECTION 3.17. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 3.18. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event
within 30 days after the Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status and the actions which the Issuer is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 3.19. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary, to
be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following
such designation; 
 (2) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 3.3
or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer; provided further that such designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time; and 

(3) such designation otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer;
provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will be deemed to be an Investment
by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, of any Investments made by such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted or not prohibited under Section 3.2
calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; (2) such Investment is permitted or not prohibited under Section 3.3 calculated on a pro
forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (3) no Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.  

Any such designation by the Issuer shall be evidenced to the Trustee by delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that such designation complies with the preceding conditions. 

  
 -86- 

 SECTION 3.20. Suspension of Certain Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade
Status. Beginning on the first day (a) the Notes have achieved Investment Grade Status and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture and ending on a Reversion Date (such period a
“Suspension Period”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.4,
Section 3.5, Section 3.8 and Section 4.1(a)(4) and Article X (the “Suspended Covenants”); provided that with respect to those covenants that will remain
in effect (the “Effective Covenants”), references in such Effective Covenants to clauses in the Suspended Covenants will be deemed to continue to exist for purposes of interpretation of the Effective Covenants. 

In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes for any
period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, either Moody’s (or any successor to the rating agency business thereof) or S&P (or any successor to the rating agency business thereof) withdraws its rating or assigns
the Notes a rating below the required Investment Grade Ratings (such date, the “Reversion Date”), then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for the benefit of
the Notes. The period of time between the date of the suspension of the covenants and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be
deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”. On and after the Reversion Date, all Liens created during the Suspension Period
will be considered Permitted Liens pursuant to clause (7) of such definition. 
 Calculations made after the Reversion Date of
the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.3 will be made as though such Section 3.3 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period.
Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.3(a). In addition, during a Suspension Period, any future obligation to
grant further Guarantees shall be released. All such further obligation to grant Guarantees shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Event of Default will be deemed to have
occurred on the Reversion Date solely as a result of any actions taken by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. 

On and after each Reversion Date, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any
contract entered into during the Suspension Period, so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period. 

In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes for any
period of time as described in this Section 3.20, during such period no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, determine whether a Suspension Period or Reversion Date has occurred or
notify Holders of any of the foregoing.  
 SECTION 3.21. Existing Digital Assets Subsidiaries. 

(a) On or prior to the Issue Date, the Issuer shall have transferred all Existing Digital Assets to the Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary
Holdco, and such Existing Digital Assets shall constitute substantially all of the Existing Digital Assets Subsidiaries’ assets as of the Issue Date. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Notes Document: 

(1) from and after the Issue Date, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries other than any
Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets to, or make any Investments in, any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary, except for Investments pursuant to the Cumulative
Credit or clauses (12), (21) and (23) of Section 3.3(b); 

  
 -87- 

 (2) all Existing Digital Assets and Proceeds thereof owned and held by any
Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary and any assets they are permitted to hold pursuant to clause (1) shall not constitute part of the Collateral; and 

(3) all Digital Assets that are not Existing Digital Assets or Proceeds thereof or otherwise purchased or obtained as permitted
by clause (1) shall not be owned or held by any Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary and shall constitute part of the Collateral. 

SECTION 3.22. Hedging. The Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into hedging arrangements with respect to its
Digital Assets. However, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any agreement with respect to any swap, forward, future or derivative transaction or option or similar agreement involving, or
settled by reference to, Existing Digital Assets or Proceeds thereof except to the extent the consideration of such agreement is financed or otherwise paid for by an Existing Digital Assets Subsidiary.

 SECTION 4.1. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets 

(a) The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the
surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to
another Person, unless: 
 (1) either: (a) the Issuer is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or

 (2) the Surviving Entity expressly
assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture, if in effect, pursuant to agreements, supplemental indentures or other documents, as required, and shall expressly assume all the obligations of the Issuer under the
applicable Collateral Documents and shall cause such amendments, supplements and other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral
owned by or transferred to the Surviving Entity, together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or
similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdictions; 

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(4) the Issuer or the Surviving Entity would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any
related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set
forth in Section 3.2 or (B) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer immediately prior to such merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition; and 
 (5) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture and other documents or instruments (if any) comply with this Indenture and Collateral Documents and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that such supplemental indenture and other document or instrument (if any) is a legal and binding agreement enforceable against the Successor Company; provided that in giving an Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate
as to any matters of fact. 

  
 -88- 

 (b) In addition, the Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all
of the properties and assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. 

(c) This Section 4.1 will not apply to: 

(1) a merger of the Issuer with a Guarantor solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction; or

 (2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets
between or among the Issuer and any Guarantors; 
 provided that in each case of the immediately preceding clauses (1) and
(2), either: (a) the Issuer is the surviving corporation in such transaction; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance,
lease, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer has been made is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of
the United States or the District of Columbia. 
 ARTICLE V 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

SECTION 5.1. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of
Section 5.7 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth: 

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

(2) the Redemption Date; 

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

(4) the redemption price. 

Any optional redemption referenced in such Officer’s Certificate may be cancelled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of redemption
being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void. 
 SECTION 5.2. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.7 or purchased in an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 3.5, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase
(a) if the Notes are in global form, on a pro rata basis, by lot, or by such other method in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC and (b) if the Notes are in definitive form in their entirety, on a pro rata basis (subject to
adjustments to maintain the authorized Notes denomination requirements) or by lot, except if otherwise required by law. 
 No Notes in an
unauthorized denomination or of $2,000 in aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less
than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase; provided that the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with sufficient notice
of such partial redemption to enable the Trustee to select the Notes for partial redemption. 

  
 -89- 

 The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption
or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and whole multiples
of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

SECTION 5.3. Notice of Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Issuer will send or
cause to be sent, by electronic transmission (for Notes held in book-entry form), by electronic delivery or by first class mail postage prepaid, a notice of redemption to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) whose Notes are to be redeemed at the
address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the
notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles VIII or XI hereto. 

The notice will identify the Notes (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the
Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

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

(6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which
the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give
the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least three Business Days (or if any of the Notes to be redeemed are in definitive form, five
Business Days) prior to the date on which the Issuer instructs the Trustee to give the notice (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the
Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of a transaction (including an Equity Offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness, a Change of Control or Fundamental Change or other transaction) and any redemption notice may, at the
Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such
notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or
delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been
satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may
be performed by another Person.

 SECTION 5.4. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 5.5. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City Time on the redemption or
purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the
Paying Agent will promptly return, on or following the applicable redemption or repurchase date, to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or
purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 
 If the Issuer complies with the provisions of
the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a record date but on or
prior to the corresponding interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date or purchase date shall be paid on the Redemption Date or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note was
registered at the close of business on such record date in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer
to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at
the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 3.1 hereof. 
 SECTION 5.6. Notes Redeemed or Purchased in
Part. Upon surrender of a Note issued in physical form that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the
unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

In the case of a Note issued as a global note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to
an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof; provided, that the unredeemed portion thereof will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

	  	 	101.531	% 
	 2026 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for Notes, including a Change Offer or
Asset Sale Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes, in such tender offer and the Issuers, or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of
the Issuers, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right upon notice as described under Section 5.2, given at least 10 days but not more
than 60 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer
plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the date of such redemption. 

(g) Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called

the Notes, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, including this Indenture, any purchases made by the Issuer
may be funded by the use of cash on its balance sheet or the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt, including borrowings under its credit facilities.

determination in a judicial proceeding that the Collateral Documents are unenforceable or invalid against the Issuer or any Guarantor that is (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute) a Significant Subsidiary for any reason
except to the extent any such unenforceability or invalidity (A) caused by the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates, promissory notes or instruments actually delivered to it representing securities pledged
under the Collateral Documents or (B) to the extent relating to Collateral consisting of real property, is covered by a title insurance policy with respect to such real property and such insurer has not denied coverage and (ii) such

 -94- 

 (b) Notwithstanding clause (4) of
Section 6.1(a) above or any other provision of this Indenture, any failure to perform, or breach of, any covenant or agreement pursuant to Section 3.10 (a “Reporting Default”)
shall not be a Default or an Event of Default until the 121st day after the Issuer has received the notice referred to in clause (4) of Section 6.1(a) (at which point, unless cured or waived, such failure to
perform or breach shall constitute an Event of Default). 
 SECTION 6.2. Acceleration.  

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (9) or (10) of
Section 6.1(a) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice
to the Issuer with a copy to the Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will
be due and payable immediately. 
 However, a Default under clauses (3), (4), (5), (6) or (9) of
Section 6.1(a) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the Default and, with respect to clauses (3), (4),
(6) and (9) of Section 6.1(a), such party does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (3), (4), (6) and (9) of Section 6.1(a), as
applicable, after receipt of such notice; provided that a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default. 

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.1(a), such Event of Default
and all consequences thereof shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if, at any time prior to the acceleration of the Notes: 

(1) (i) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (ii) the Issuer
cures the underlying Payment Default or the holders of the applicable Indebtedness waive the underlying Payment Default or rescind the acceleration of such Indebtedness, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indebtedness; and

 (2) such cure, waiver or rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 If an Event of Default described in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.1(a) (with
respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holders. 
 (b) Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to
provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more holders (other than a Regulated Bank) (each, a “Directing Holder”) must be
accompanied by a written representation from each such holder delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, that such holder is not (or, in the case such holder is DTC or its nominee, that such holder is being
instructed solely by Beneficial Owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing
representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuer
with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification
Covenant”). In any case in which the holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the Beneficial Owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee, and DTC shall
be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. 

(c) If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that
there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant 

  
 -95- 

 
time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee or Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated litigation in a court of
competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure
period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and
non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the
Trustee or Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any
Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such
holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient
to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such acceleration shall be voided and the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder
Direction or such notice of such Event of Default. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2(b) and
Section 6.2(c) to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with
Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.2(c). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing paragraphs shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank. 

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance
with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or
otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to any Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Issuer, any
Holder, or any other Person acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction. 
 (f) (i) if a Default for a failure to report or failure to
deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in
connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in
Section 3.10 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or
certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture. 
 SECTION 6.3.
Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 

SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, (a) waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), an existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest, on a Note or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in
respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected and (b) rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (2) all 

  
 -96- 

 
existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (3) to the
extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (4) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its
compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances and (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (4) of
Section 6.1(a), the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or
impair any right consequent thereto. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. 

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. However, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent,
as applicable, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Notes or, subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, that the Trustee determines is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee or Collateral Agent in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to determine whether any action is prejudicial to any Holder); provided,
however, that the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by taking or not taking
such action. 
 SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.7, a Holder may not pursue any
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event
of Default is continuing; 
 (b) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole and absolute
discretion against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee has not complied with such written request within 60
days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.  

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood
that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 

SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without
limitation, Section 6.6), the contractual right of any Holder to receive payment of interest on the Notes held by such Holder or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such
Holder’s Notes shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the amendment, supplement or modification in accordance with the terms of this Indenture of Articles III and
IV and Section 6.1(a)(3), Section 6.1(a)(4), Section 6.1(a)(5) and Section 6.1(a)(6) and the related definitions shall be deemed not to
impair the contractual right of any Holder to receive payments of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such
Holder’s Note). 

  
 -97- 

 SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole
amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. 

SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and its agents and
counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to
participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.7. 

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
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. 

(a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI (including upon
exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral), it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
  

			
	FIRST:	  	to the Trustee and to the Collateral Agent, in each case for amounts due to it under Section 7.7 and Section 12.7(y);
		
	SECOND:	  	to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal of, or premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal of, or
premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and
		
	THIRD:	  	to the Issuer, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor or their successors or assigns, as their interest may appear, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

 (b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Issuer, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 20.0% in outstanding aggregate principal
amount of the Notes.

 ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.1. Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.1(b); 

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5; and 

(4) no provision of this Indenture or the Notes shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is
subject to clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.1. 
 (e) The Trustee shall
not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. 
 (f) Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1.

 SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. Subject to
Section 7.1: 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, judgment or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Issuer as provided herein, but shall have
no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance with covenants or other obligations of the Issuer. 
 (b)
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts and powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or
opinion of counsel relating to this Indenture or the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Notes in good faith and in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (f) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have notice of any
Default or Event of Default or whether any entity or group of entities constitutes a Significant Subsidiary unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or
Event of Default or of any such Significant Subsidiary is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent specified in Section 3.12,
and such notice references the Notes, the Issuer and this Indenture and states that it is a “Notice of Default”. 
 (g) The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including
without limitation, as Collateral Agent, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder and under all other agreements executed by the Trustee in connection with the Notes and this Indenture, including the Notes Documents.

 (h) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
this Indenture or the Notes at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered and if requested, provided to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case
may be, security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. 

(i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such fact or matter is known to a Trust Officer of the
Trustee. 
 (j) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture or the Notes the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, as determined by
a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate. 

  
 -100- 

 (k) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, judgment, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and
premises of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 

(m) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of
officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (n) In no event shall the Trustee be
liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

 (o) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be
sufficient if signed by one Officer of the Issuer. 
 (p) The permissive rights of the Trustee under this Indenture and the other Notes
Documents shall not be construed as duties. 
 SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any
other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10. In addition, the Trustee
shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 7.4.
Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes, any Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents, shall not be
accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes, shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents or in any document issued in connection
with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 7.5. Notice of
Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall send electronically or by first class mail to each Holder at the address set forth in the Notes Register
or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or
interest, if any, on any Note (including payments pursuant to the optional redemption or required repurchase provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of Holders. 
 SECTION 7.6. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time compensation
for its services hereunder and under the Notes as the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent upon request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including, but 

  
 -101- 

 
not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the agents, counsel, accountants and experts of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent, their directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability, damages, claims or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent) (including
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ and agents’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined
by a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, on its part in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the other Notes Documents, including the costs and expenses of
enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and the Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or otherwise). The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder.
The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if it assumes the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s
defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in connection with such defense;
provided further that, the Issuer shall be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in evaluating such conflict. 

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The
Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s respective right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Issuer. 

The Issuer’s payment and indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge
of this Indenture and any resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.8 and Section 12.7(f). Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent under applicable law, when the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs fees, expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of
Section 6.1(a), the fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing not less than 30
days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of
such removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not
reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee as described in the preceding paragraph, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 

  
 -102- 

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall
mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.7. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or
is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder, who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least
six months, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under
Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall have no liability for any action or inaction of any successor Trustee. 

SECTION 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that
time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; provided that the right to adopt
the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall only apply to its successor or successors by merger, consolidation or conversion. 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee. The Trustee shall have a combined capital
and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 SECTION 7.11.
[Reserved]. 
 SECTION 7.12. Trustee’s Application for Instruction from the Issuer. Any
application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action
shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application
(which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any Officer of the Issuer actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such
action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 

SECTION 7.13. Collateral Documents; Intercreditor Agreements. By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and
direct the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any other Collateral Document in which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party,
including the Collateral Agreement and any Collateral Documents executed on or after the Issue Date and any supplements thereto. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are not
responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any
action under the Pari Passu 

  
 -103- 

 
Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, privileges, benefits,
immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements). 

SECTION 7.14. Limitation on Duty of Trustee in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification. 

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any
Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the
Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security
interest in the Collateral. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee
or the Collateral Agent in good faith. 
 (b) The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or
value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the
validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon
the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral (except with respect to certificates delivered to the Collateral Agent representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents). The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall have
no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any representative for the
holders of pari passu obligations. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 8.1. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance; Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time,
elect to have either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 

SECTION 8.2. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of
the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees) and the Collateral Documents with respect to such Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees), which will
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and
to have satisfied all of their other obligations under the Notes Documents (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging the same), and to
have cured all then existing Events of Default, except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of,
or interest or premium (including the Applicable Premium), if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.4 hereof; 

  
 -104- 

 (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article
II concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Section 3.12 hereof concerning the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security
payments held in trust; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee and Collateral
Agent, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article
VIII with respect to provisions relating to Legal Defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.3. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s
exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.4 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.4,
Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 3.7, Section 3.8, Section 3.9, Section 3.10,
Section 3.11, Section 3.14, Section 3.15, Section 3.16, Section 3.18, Section 3.19,
Section 3.20, Section 3.21, Section 3.22 and Section 4.1 (except Section 4.1(a)(1) and
Section 4.1(a)(2)) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants,
but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with
and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a) hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Section 6.1(a)(3) (other than with respect to Section 4.1(a)(1)and
Section 4.1(a)(2), Section 6.1(a)(4), Section 6.1(a)(5), Section 6.1(a)(6), Section 6.1(a)(7) with respect only to a
Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), Section 6.1(a)(8) (with respect only to a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), Section 6.1(a)(9) and Section 6.1(a)(10) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 

SECTION 8.4. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under
either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof: 
 (1) the Issuer must
irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or
interest and premium (including the Applicable Premium), if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity
or to a particular Redemption Date; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel confirming that the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred: 

(a) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the
beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not 

  
 -105- 

 
recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (b) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound; 

(c) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a party or by which the Issuer,
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is bound; 
 (d) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer, with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and

 (e) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.  
 If the Issuer exercises
either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Liens, as they pertain to the Notes and the Guarantees, will be released and the Issuer and each Guarantor, as applicable, will be released from all of its obligations with respect to the
Guarantees and, to the extent pertaining to the Notes and the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents. 
 SECTION 8.5. Deposited Money
and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held
in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding
Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to
time upon the request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.6. Repayment to the Issuer. Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall
be paid to the Issuer on its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person or (if then held by the 

  
 -106- 

 
Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 

SECTION 8.7. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or
Section 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer make any payment of principal of, premium, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer
will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE IX 
 AMENDMENTS

 SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.2 of this Indenture, the
Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to its Guarantee, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents), the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent may amend, supplement or modify this Indenture, any Guarantee, the Collateral Documents and the Notes without
the consent of any Holder: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes (including the
addition of collateral to secure the Notes and/or additional guarantees) or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 

(5) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of this
Indenture to the extent that such provision of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Guarantees or the Notes was intended to conform to the text of this Indenture as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate; 

(6) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the
Issue Date; 
 (7) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes or
to release any Guarantor from its Guarantee if such release is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (8) to
evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture or Collateral Documents of a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to the requirements thereof; 

  
 -107- 

 (9) to add additional assets as Collateral or to release any Collateral from
the Liens securing the Notes, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, as and when permitted or required by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents; 

(10) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by
this Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; 

(11) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Indenture or any of the Collateral
Documents or any release, termination or discharge of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents; 

(12) to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or intercreditor agreement having substantially similar terms with
respect to the Holders as those set forth in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, taken as a whole, or any joinder thereto;

this Indenture or the Collateral Documents; and 
 (14) to amend the Collateral Documents to provide for the addition of any
creditors to such agreements to the extent a pari passu Lien for the benefit of such creditor is permitted by the terms of this Indenture.  

Subject to Section 9.2, upon the request of the Issuer and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of
the documents described in Section 9.6 and Section 13.2 hereof, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements, unless such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements affects the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security
documents or intercreditor agreements. 
 SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this
Section 9.2, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, any Guarantee, the Collateral Documents and the Notes issued hereunder with the consent of the Holders of
at least a majority in principal amount of all the outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture, including, without limitation, consents obtained before or after a Change of Control or Fundamental Change or in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from
an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Collateral Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all the
outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture (including consents obtained before or after a Change of Control or Fundamental Change or in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for Notes).
Section 2.12 hereof and Section 13.4 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.2. 

Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of evidence of the consent of the
Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent of the documents described in Section 9.6 and Section 13.2 hereof, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent
will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements unless such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements
affect the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements. 

  
 -108- 

 Without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may
not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
  

	 	(1)	 reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

  

	 	(2)	 reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or change the date on which any Note may be
subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price thereof as described in Section 5.7 (other than provisions relating to the covenant under Section 3.9); provided that the notice period
for redemption may be reduced to not less than 3 Business Days with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding if a notice of redemption has not prior thereto been sent to Holders;

  

	 	(3)	 reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

 

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

  

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

 

	 	(6)	 make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of
Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium (including the Applicable Premium), if any, on the Notes; 

  

	 	(7)	 amend, change or modify the obligation of the Issuer to make and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to
any Asset Sale in accordance with Section 3.5 after the obligation to make such Asset Sale Offer has arisen, or the obligation of the Issuer to make and consummate a Change Offer in the event of a Change of Control or
Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 3.9 after such Change of Control or Fundamental Change has occurred, including, in each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto; and

  

	 	(8)	 make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (A) make any change in any Collateral Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the
effect of releasing the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral which secure the Obligations in respect of the Notes or (B) change or alter the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations in respect of the Notes in any material
portion of the Collateral in any way materially adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of the Notes given in connection with a tender or exchange of such
Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. 
 SECTION 9.3. [Reserved] 

SECTION 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it
by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made
on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

  
 -109- 

 The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Section 9.4 or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding
the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such
action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or
waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

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

 SECTION 9.6. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall sign any amended or supplemental
indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 hereof) shall be fully protected in
conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.2 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or
security documents or intercreditor agreements is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is valid, binding and enforceable against the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms. 

ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTEE 

SECTION 10.1. Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Guarantor that executes this Indenture or a
supplemental indenture hereto will fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the full and
punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Issuer under this Indenture (including
without limitation interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or Post-Petition Interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.7), (all the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness
is subordinate to the Guaranteed Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such other Indebtedness. 

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be
executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this
Section 10.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 

  
 -110- 

 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time
the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by
law) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed
Obligation. 
 Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. 

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and
waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Except
as set forth in Section 10.3, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in
full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder
to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any
rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the failure of any
Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Issuer; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (h) any
other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations
or such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee in compliance with Section 10.3, Article VIII or Article XI. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has
at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each
Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of itself, the Collateral Agent and the Holders an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing
after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or Post-Petition Interest is allowed in such proceeding). 
 Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between
such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed
Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 

  
 -111- 

 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.1. 

SECTION 10.2. Subsidiary Guarantor Guarantees. A Subsidiary Guarantor may not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or
not such Subsidiary Guarantor or Issuer is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor concurrently with the transaction, unless: 

(a) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Event of Default exists; and 

(b) either: 
 (1)
(x) the Subsidiary Guarantor is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee, this Indenture and
the applicable Collateral Documents and to the extent any assets of the Successor Guarantor are assets of the type which would constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the applicable Collateral Documents, such Successor Guarantor will take
such action, if any, as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Lien of this Indenture and the applicable Collateral Documents in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture and the
applicable Collateral Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected, but solely to the extent perfection is required by this Indenture and the applicable Collateral Documents; or 

(2) such consolidation or merger is permitted under this Indenture. 

The Successor Guarantor, if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor, will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Guarantor under
this Indenture, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee and the Collateral Documents to which such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party and such Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this
Indenture, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee and the Collateral Documents to which such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may (i) consolidate or merge with or otherwise combine
with or into or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of part or all or substantially all of the properties or assets to another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Issuer, (ii) consolidate or merge with or otherwise combine with or into
the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Subsidiary Guarantor in another jurisdiction or changing the legal form of the Subsidiary Guarantor, (iii) convert into a corporation,
partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary Guarantor or a jurisdiction in the United States, any state or territory
thereof or the District of Columbia or (iv) liquidate or dissolve or change its legal form if the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management of the Issuer determines in good faith that such action is in the best interests of the
Issuer and is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders, in each case, without regard to the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this covenant, the Issuer may contribute Capital Stock of
any or all of its Subsidiaries to any Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 SECTION 10.3. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and
Discharge. 
 (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of
the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under federal, foreign, state or provincial law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

  
 -112- 

 (b) Any Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally
released and discharged upon: 
 (1) Any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including by way of merger,
amalgamation, consolidation, dividend distribution or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor to a
Person other than to the Issuer or another Guarantor, in each case, so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited by Section 3.5; 

(2) the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the
occurrence of any event after which the Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or the Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary; provided that no such automatic release shall
occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Non-Guarantor solely under clause (v) of the definition of “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary” unless in
connection with a bona fide sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor that is permitted
hereunder; 
 (3) legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes pursuant to Article
VIII or Article XI; 
 (4) such Subsidiary Guarantor being (or being substantially concurrently) released or
discharged from all of its Guarantees of payment in the case of a Guarantee made by a Guarantor (each, an “Other Guarantee”) as a result of its guarantee of other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor pursuant to
Section 3.7 hereof, including a release as a result of the repayment in full or termination of the Indebtedness specified under such Guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is
still considered a release and if such Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor under or any Other Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated); 

(5) upon the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor or
upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case, in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

(6) as provided under any Intercreditor Agreement; 

(7) as described in the second paragraph under Section 3.7; 

(8) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Collateral Documents; 

(9) as provided for in Article IX; and 

(10) upon the occurrence of Investment Grade Status; provided that such Guarantee shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date.

 SECTION 10.4. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more
than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share
of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to
the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 
 SECTION 10.5. No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder against the Issuer or any other
Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in 

  
 -113- 

 
respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid
in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee,
the Collateral Agent and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to
the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 ARTICLE XI 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 11.1. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes
issued hereunder, when: 
 (a) either: 

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

(2) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
delivery of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be
sufficient (in the case that non-callable Government Securities have been deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants),
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(b) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents; and

 (c) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment
of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
 Upon a satisfaction and discharge in accordance with the
provisions described above, the Liens, as they pertain to the Notes and the Guarantees, will be released and the Issuer and each Guarantor, as applicable, will be released from all of its obligations with respect to the Guarantees and, to the extent
pertaining to the Notes and the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents. 
 In addition, the Issuer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Issuer’s obligations to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in
Section 7.7 and Section 12.7(y) hereof and, if money in Dollars has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(2) of this Section 11.1, the provisions
of Section 11.2 and Section 8.6 hereof will survive. 
 SECTION 11.2.
Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof, all money in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof
shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium) and interest for whose payment such money in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money in Dollars or U.S. Government
Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 -114- 

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 11.1 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof; provided that if the Issuer
have made any payment of principal of, premium or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE XII 

COLLATERAL 

SECTION 12.1. Collateral Documents. 

(a) The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether
on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors to
the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, and the Collateral Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Collateral Documents (upon the entry
into such documents), which define the terms of the Liens that secure Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the
Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of
the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreements, each as may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their
terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements prior to, on or following the Issue Date, and the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements
at any time after the Issue Date, if applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuer shall deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the
Collateral Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 12.1, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in
the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to
the intent and purposes herein expressed. On or following the Issue Date and subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute, file or cause the filing of any and all further documents, financing statements
(including continuation statements and amendments to financing statements), agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law in order to grant, preserve, maintain, protect and perfect (or continue the
perfection of) the validity and priority of the Liens and security interests created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents in the Collateral and cause the Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied; 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the security interests in the Collateral securing the Notes (other than as set forth in
the following proviso) will not be required to be in place on the Issue Date and will not be perfected on such date, but will be required to be put in place no later than 90 days after the Issue Date; provided, however, the perfection
of the security interests (1) in pledged equity represented by certificates must be delivered no later than 5 Business Days after the Issue Date to the extent required by the Collateral Documents, (2) in assets with respect to which a Lien
may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement, which UCC financing statement will be required to be filed as of the Issue Date and (3) filings in (A) the United States Patent and Trademark Office with respect to any U.S.
registered or applied for patents and trademarks and (B) the United States Copyright Office of the Library of Congress with respect to copyright registrations, in the case of each of (A) and (B), constituting Collateral, which filings will
be required to be filed on the Issue Date. The Collateral Agent 

  
 -115- 

 
may grant extensions of time for the perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Issue
Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Issuer and Guarantors on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Issuer, that perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the
time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Indenture or the Collateral Documents. 
 (c) Without limiting the foregoing,
to the extent the Collateral Agent has not been granted control over any Digital Asset subject to a security interest granted under the Collateral Agreement in the form of control agreements (“Control Agreements”) over the securities
account that is being opened to hold any such Digital Assets (the “Digital Assets Securities Account”) on or prior to the Issue Date, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a Control Agreement with respect to the
Digital Assets Securities Account within 60 days following the Issue Date.. 
 SECTION 12.2. Release of Collateral. 

(a) Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents at any time and from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements and this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements and this Indenture, the property and
other assets of the Issuer and the Guarantors constituting Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens securing the Notes and the Notes Obligations under any one or more of the following circumstances: 

(1) as to the Collateral of any Guarantor and/or the pledged Capital Stock of such Guarantor, such Collateral and/or Capital
Stock shall be released upon a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation, dividend distribution or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale, exchange,
transfer or other disposition, of all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person other than to the Issuer or another Guarantor, in each case, so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited by
Section 3.5; 
 (2) as to the Collateral of any Guarantor and/or the pledged Capital Stock of such
Guarantor, such Collateral and/or Capital Stock shall be released upon the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the occurrence of any event after which the Subsidiary Guarantor is
no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or the Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary; 

(3) as to the Collateral of any Guarantor and/or the pledged Capital Stock of such Guarantor, such Collateral and/or Capital
Stock shall be released upon such Guarantor being (or being substantially concurrently) released or discharged from all of its Guarantees of payment in the case of a Guarantee made by a Guarantor (each, an “Other Guarantee”) as a result of
its guarantee of other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 3.9, including a release as a result of the repayment in full or termination of the Indebtedness specified under such Guarantee (it being
understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still considered a release and if such Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor under any Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated); 

(4) as to the pledged Capital Stock of any Guarantor, upon the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Subsidiary
Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor or upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case, in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

(5) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to the Issuer or a Guarantor, upon the termination or
expiration of such lease; 
 (6) with respect to any Collateral that is or becomes an Excluded Asset or that is or becomes
subject to certain Permitted Liens; 
 (7) as described in the second paragraph under Section 3.7;
and 

  
 -116- 

 (8) upon the occurrence of Investment Grade Status; provided that the Liens
shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date. 
 (b) The first priority Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Guarantees shall
terminate and be released automatically in connection with a sale, transfer or disposition of Notes Priority Collateral that occurs in connection with the foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, Notes Priority Collateral by
the Collateral Agent (except with respect to the proceeds of such sale, transfer or disposition). 
 (c) The Liens on the Collateral
securing the Notes and the Guarantees also will be automatically released without further action upon (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and all other Obligations (other than
contingent indemnity obligations for which no demand has been made) under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Collateral Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are
paid, or (ii) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under this Indenture as described under Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 hereof or a discharge of this Indenture as described under
Section 11.1 hereof. 
 (d) With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or Collateral
Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Issuer in connection with such release and any instruments of termination, satisfaction or release reasonably requested by and prepared by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
shall, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Issuer’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement (if any) or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and shall do or cause to be done (at the Issuer’s expense) all acts reasonably requested of them to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the
Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral Document or in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (if
any) or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release,
satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate, upon which it shall be entitled to conclusively rely. 

(e) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall not enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be
applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted by this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Section 12.2 will restrict the incurrence of Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens or Permitted Collateral Liens.  

SECTION 12.3. Suits to Protect the Collateral. 

Subject to the provisions of Article VII and the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any Acceptable
Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may or may direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it determines in order to: 
 (a) enforce
any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and 
 (b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations
hereunder. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any Acceptable Intercreditor
Agreement, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be
unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the
Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.3 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. 

  
 -117- 

 SECTION 12.4. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral
Documents. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, the
Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 12.5. Purchaser Protected. 

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the
Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the applicable release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by
such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article XII to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the
applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer. 
 SECTION 12.6. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. 

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article
XII upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent
of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XII; and if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under
any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 12.7.
Collateral Agent. 
 (a) The Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral
Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and each Intercreditor Agreement, and the Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and each Intercreditor Agreement, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the
Collateral Documents and each Intercreditor Agreement, and consents and agrees to the terms of each Intercreditor Agreement and each Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.7. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral
Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding
upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and each Intercreditor Agreement, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature,
and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents and each Intercreditor Agreement, to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral
Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the
Collateral Documents and each Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the
Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its
duties under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement by or through receivers, agents, employees,
attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates 

  
 -118- 

 
(a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected
in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care. 

(c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Grantor), independent accountants and
other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or
any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Collateral Document, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders. 

(d) [Reserved] 
 (e) The
Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this
Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee
in accordance with Article VI or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.7). 

(f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be
effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed
prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may
appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and
consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and
the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. If the Collateral Agent consolidates with,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor
Collateral Agent. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.7 (and Section 7.7 hereof) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the
retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture. 

  
 -119- 

 (g) U.S. Bank National Association shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be
authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any
Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for
any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent
shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (h) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to
(i) enter into the Collateral Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into a Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any supplement thereto from time to time after Issue Date, (iii) enter
into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any supplement thereto from time to time after the Issue Date, (iv) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any
Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, (v) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, and (vi) perform and observe its obligations under the Collateral Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreements. 
 (i) If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article VI, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same
over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents
and the Intercreditor Agreements. 
 (j) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’
security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control. Should the Trustee obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the
Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 

(k) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is
owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the
case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights,
authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents. 
 (l) If the Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any
obligations which are subordinated to or pari passu to the Notes at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when such subordinated or pari passu obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Trustee and Collateral Agent, if
applicable, to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or a Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, if any) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the
subordinated or pari passu obligations, as applicable, so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent and Trustee, if applicable, shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at
the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Trustee and Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder. 

  
 -120- 

 (m) No provision of this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Document
shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or
thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee against potential costs and
liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required
to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any
studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such
property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (m) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or
the Holders to be sufficient. 
 (n) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
connection with this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except
as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and
the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of
such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act. 
 (o)
Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics,
governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special,
punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. 

(p) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other
Grantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
contained in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this
Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Collateral Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness,
enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or
collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the
Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by
any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Collateral Documents. The
Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The
Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. 

  
 -121- 

 (q) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the
Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable
and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or
property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the
parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, if any, any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral
Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any
participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any
fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in either of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, to be considered an “owner or operator”
under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or
any other federal, state or local law, each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the
asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or
regulation by reason of either of the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the
environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuer or the Guarantors, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate
or manage, as the case may be, the property. 
 (r) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuer signed by an
Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document or
amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the Issue Date; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or enter into any such Collateral Document which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion is
reasonably likely to adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Collateral Agent or that the Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Security Document
Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.7(r), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute
and enter into such Collateral Document. Other than as set forth in this Indenture, any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to
execute such Collateral Documents (subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.7(r)). 
 (s) Subject
to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents
to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor
Agreements or the Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable. Each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable to execute and deliver any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and/or any Acceptable
Intercreditor Agreement and, in each case, all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. 

  
 -122- 

 (t) After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the
direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the
Intercreditor Agreements. 
 (u) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the
Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreements for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and
the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture. 
 (v)
In each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Collateral Document or Intercreditor Agreement to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give
consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Collateral Document or Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required to (unless otherwise
required by Section 9.2), seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. 
 (w)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the

MICROSTRATEGY INCORPORATED 
 6.125%
SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2028 
 Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. 

 

	1.	 Interest 

The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.125% per annum from June 14, 2021 until maturity. The
Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears every June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on
the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2021. The Issuer shall pay
interest on overdue principal at the rate specified herein, and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months. 
  

	2.	 Method of Payment 

By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on any Note is due and
payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium, and interest when due. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is timely paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the preceding June 1 and December 1 at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of Paying Agent or Registrar designated by the Issuer
maintained for such purpose (which shall initially be the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose), or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 2.3 of the Indenture; provided, however, that, at the option of the Paying Agent, each installment of interest may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such
addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee, subject to the third to the last sentence of this paragraph. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a
Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depository. Payments in respect of Notes
represented by Definitive Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) held by a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes will be made in accordance with the Notes Register, or
by wire transfer to a Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later
than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). If an Interest Payment Date or a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding
day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected. 
  

	3.	 Paying Agent and Registrar 

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (in such capacity, as applicable, the “Trustee” and the “Collateral
Agent”) shall act as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuer may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 

 

	4.	 Indenture 

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 14, 2021, among the Issuer, the Guarantors from time to time party
thereto, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (as it may be amended or supplemented from 

  
 A-4 

 
time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and
provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Notes and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. 

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under
the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $500,000,000 principal amount of the Issuer’s 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 issued under the
Indenture on June 14, 2021 (the “Initial Notes”) and (ii) if and when issued, additional Notes that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to June 14, 2021 (the “Additional
Notes”) as provided in Section 2.1(a) of the Indenture. The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture; provided that the
Additional Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP as the existing Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with the existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the incurrence of
indebtedness, the making of restricted payments, the sale of assets, the incurrence of certain liens, the making of payments for consents, the entering into of agreements that restrict distribution from restricted subsidiaries and the consummation
of mergers and consolidations. The Indenture also imposes requirements with respect to the provision of financial information and the provision of guarantees of the Notes by certain subsidiaries. 

 

	5.	 Guarantees 

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest (including
post-filing or post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes
when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, each Guarantor will unconditionally guarantee (and future guarantors, jointly and severally with
the Guarantors, will fully and unconditionally Guarantee) such obligations on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	6.	 Redemption and Repurchase.  

The Notes are subject to optional and mandatory redemption, and may be the subject of certain repurchase events, as further described in the
Indenture. Except as provided in the Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
  

	7.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay a sum sufficient to
cover any tax and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (A) for a period beginning (1) fifteen (15) calendar days before the mailing of a notice of an
offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) fifteen (15) calendar days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date, (B) called for redemption,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer or exchange of Notes between the date of any conditional notice to Holders of the anticipated occurrence of an early maturity date in the
circumstances described above under the “Springing Maturity” provision set forth in Section 2.18 of the Indenture and the occurrence or cancellation of such early maturity date. 

 

	8.	 Persons Deemed Owners 

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

  
 A-5 

	9.	 Unclaimed Money 

If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the
money back to the Issuer at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person to receive such money. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer and not to the Trustee for payment
as general creditors unless an abandoned property law designates another person for payment. 
  

	10.	 Discharge and Defeasance 

Subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations
under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 

 

	11.	 Amendment, Supplement, Waiver 

Subject to certain exceptions contained in the Indenture, the Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents may be amended, or a Default
thereunder may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	12.	 Defaults and Remedies 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or
certain Guarantors) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 30.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and
accrued and unpaid interest, and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal, interest, and other monetary obligations will be due and payable
immediately. If a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its
consequences. 
  

	13.	 Trustee Dealings with the Issuer 

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer and its Affiliates and
Subsidiaries. 
  

	14.	 No Recourse Against Others 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as such (other than the
Issuer and the Guarantors), shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is
the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. 

  
 A-6 

	15.	 Authentication 

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the
certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the
entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

	17.	 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

The Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if applicable, to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if
applicable, in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or purchase and reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
  

	18.	 Governing Law 

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 

 

	19.	 Security 

The Notes and the related Guarantees will be secured by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture
and the Collateral Documents. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hold the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, in each case pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.
Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreements, each as may be in effect or may be
amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture, and authorizes and directs each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements on or

 ARTICLE II 

PRIORITIES AND AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SHARED COLLATERAL 

SECTION 2.01. Equal Priority. 

(a) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Lien on any Shared Collateral securing
Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class, and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code or similar statute or law of any jurisdiction, as applicable, any other applicable law or any Pari Passu Lien Document, or any other
circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 2.02), each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that valid and perfected Liens on any Shared Collateral securing Pari Passu
Lien Obligations of any Class shall be of equal priority with valid and perfected Liens on such Shared Collateral securing Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any other Class. 

(b) Each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of any
Pari Passu Lien Document to the contrary (but subject to Section 2.02), if (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties is taking action to enforce
rights or exercise remedies in respect of any Shared Collateral, (ii) any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (iii) such Authorized Representative or any of its Related
Secured Parties receives any payment with respect to any Shared Collateral pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), then the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral obtained by such
Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties on account of such enforcement of rights or exercise of remedies, and any such distributions or payments received by such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties
(all such proceeds, distributions and payments being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall, subject to the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement, be applied as follows: 

(i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to the Authorized Representatives and the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the
Pari Passu Lien Documents; 
 (ii) SECOND, to the payment of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations of each Class for the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on a ratable basis, owing to them on the date of such determination; and 
 (iii)
THIRD, to the Company and the other Grantors or their successors or permitted assigns, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

(c) It is acknowledged that the Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class may, to the extent permitted in the Pari Passu Lien Documents,
be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the
provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties of any Class. 
 SECTION 2.02. Impairments. It is the
intention of the parties hereto that the Secured Parties of each Class (and not the Secured Parties of any other Class) bear the risk of (a) any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (i) any Pari Passu Lien Obligations of
such Class are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than to any Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any other Class), (ii) any Pari Passu Lien Obligations of such Class do not have a valid and
perfected Lien on any of the Collateral securing any Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any other Class and/or (iii) any Person (other than any Authorized Representative or any Secured Party) has a Lien on any Shared Collateral that is senior
in priority to the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing Pari Passu Lien Obligations of such Class, but junior to the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing any Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any other Class (any such Lien being referred to as an
“Intervening Lien”, and any such Person being referred to as an “Intervening Creditor”), or (b) the existence of any Collateral securing Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any other Class that does not
constitute Shared Collateral with respect to Pari Passu Lien Obligations of such Class (any condition referred to in clause (a) or (b) with respect to Pari Passu Lien Obligations of such Class being referred to
as an “Impairment” of such Class); provided that the existence of any limitation on the maximum claim that may be made against any Mortgaged Property that applies to Pari Passu Lien Obligations of all Classes shall not be
deemed to be an Impairment of Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class. In the event an Impairment exists with respect to Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the Secured Parties of such
Class, and the rights of the Secured Parties of such Class (including the right to receive distributions in respect of Pari Passu Lien Obligations of such Class pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent
necessary so that the results of such Impairment are 

  
 7 

 
borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class shall be subject to an Impairment in the form of an
Intervening Lien of any Intervening Creditor, the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of Pari Passu
Lien Obligations of such Class. In addition, in the event the Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class are modified pursuant to applicable law (including pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code), any reference to the Pari Passu
Lien Obligations of such Class or the Pari Passu Lien Documents of such Class shall refer to such obligations or such documents as so modified. 

SECTION 2.03. Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Certain Contests. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Pari Passu Lien Documents (other than this Agreement), (i) only the Controlling Collateral
Agent shall, and shall have the right to, exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights, remedies and powers with respect to the Shared Collateral, including any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon any Shared Collateral and
any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), (ii) the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not be required to follow any instructions or directions with respect to
Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other
Non-Controlling Secured Party) it being understood and agreed that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that could expose the Controlling Collateral Agent to liability or
be contrary to any Pari Passu Lien Security Document or applicable law, and (iii) no Non- Controlling Authorized Representative or any other Non-Controlling Secured
Party shall, or shall instruct the Controlling Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar
official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, take any other action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or exercise any other right, remedy or power with respect to (including any right, remedy or power
under any intercreditor agreement other than this Agreement) any Shared Collateral, whether under any Pari Passu Lien Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Collateral Agent, and in accordance with the
applicable Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such rights, remedies and powers with respect to Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens established under
Section 2.01(a), the Controlling Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral as if the Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized
Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Controlling Secured Party, or any
other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Controlling Secured Party of any rights, remedies or powers with respect to the Shared Collateral, or seek to cause the Controlling Collateral Agent to do so. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to limit the rights and priorities of the Controlling Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral. 

(b) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, that they will not accept any Lien
on any asset of any Grantor securing Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class for the benefit of any Secured Party of such Class other than pursuant to the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, other than (i) any funds deposited for the
discharge or defeasance of Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class and (ii) any rights of set-off created under the Pari Passu Lien Documents of any Class. 

(c) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, that neither such Authorized
Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) challenge or contest or support any other Person in challenging or contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the
validity, attachment, creation, perfection, priority or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any other Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, (ii) the validity,
enforceability or effectiveness of any Pari Passu Lien Obligation of any Class or any Pari Passu Lien Security Document of any Class or (iii) the validity, enforceability or effectiveness of the priorities, rights or duties
established by, or other provisions of, this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties to enforce this
Agreement. 

  
 8 

 SECTION 2.04. No Interference; Payment Over. 

(a) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that (i) neither such
Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) take or cause to be taken any action the purpose of which is, or could reasonably be expected to be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner,
whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent, (ii) except as provided in Section 2.03, neither such Authorized Representative nor its
Related Secured Parties shall have any right (A) to direct the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor
agreement) or (B) to consent to the exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral, (iii) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related
Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) institute any suit or proceeding, or assert in any suit or proceeding any claim, against the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by
way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling
Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement, and (iv) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related
Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) seek to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Shared Collateral; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement. 

(b) Each Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, agrees that if such Authorized Representative or any
of its Related Secured Parties shall at any time obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or receive any Proceeds or payment in respect thereof (other than as a result of any application of Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.01(b)), in each case,
pursuant to the applicable Pari Passu Lien Documents or as a result of the enforcement of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies, at any time
prior to the Discharge of Pari Passu Lien Obligations of each other Class, (i) such Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform each Authorized Representative thereof, (ii) such
Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party shall hold such Shared Collateral or Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties of any Class entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (iii) such Authorized
Representative or its Related Secured Party shall promptly transfer such Shared Collateral or Proceeds to the Controlling Collateral Agent, for distribution in accordance with Section 2.01(b). 

SECTION 2.05. Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to Pari Passu Lien Security Documents. 

(a) Subject to the terms of the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement, if, at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent forecloses upon or
otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each Authorized Representative for the
benefit of each Class of Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized by any Secured Party therefrom shall be applied pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof. 
 (b) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties,
acknowledges and agrees that each Authorized Representative may enter into any amendment to any Pari Passu Lien Security Document so long as such amendment is not prohibited by the terms of each then extant Pari Passu Lien Document, in each case,
without the consent of any other Authorized Representative or its related Secured Parties. 
 (c) Each Authorized Representative agrees to
execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such consents, confirmations, authorizations and other instruments as necessary or shall reasonably be requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any
release of Shared Collateral or amendment or modification to any Pari Passu Lien Security Document or to the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement provided for in this Section.

 SECTION 2.06. Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy and Insolvency
Proceedings. 
 (a)    The Authorized Representative of each Class, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured
Parties, agrees that, if the Company or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code
or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related
Secured Parties will raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any such financing (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, in each
case unless the Controlling Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such
Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the
Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Controlling Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any
such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Pari Passu Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared
Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of such Class retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral subject to the DIP Financing Liens, including proceeds thereof arising after the
commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties of such other Class constituting DIP Financing Liens) as
existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Parties of such Class are granted Liens on any additional collateral provided to the Secured Parties of any other Class as adequate protection or otherwise in
connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties of such other Class constituting
DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any Pari Passu Lien Obligations, such amount is applied in accordance with
Section 2.01(b), and (D) if the Secured Parties of any Class are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate
protection are applied in accordance with Section 2.01(b); provided, that the Secured Parties of each Class shall have a right to object to the grant, as security for the DIP Financing, of a Lien on any Collateral subject to Liens
in favor of the Secured Parties of such Class or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; provided, further, that any Secured Party receiving adequate protection granted in connection with the DIP
Financing or such use of cash collateral shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any such adequate protection granted to such Secured Party. 

(b) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or
against the Company or any other Grantor. 
 SECTION 2.07. Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement or avoidance of a preference or
fraudulent transfer under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), then the terms and conditions of Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all the Pari Passu Lien Obligations of such
Class shall again have been paid in full in cash. 
 SECTION 2.08. Insurance and Condemnation Awards. As between the Secured
Parties, the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting pursuant to the applicable Pari Passu Lien Security Documents), shall have the exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, to settle and
adjust claims in respect of Shared Collateral under policies of insurance covering or constituting Shared Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the
Shared Collateral; provided that any Proceeds arising therefrom shall be subject to Section 2.01(b). 

  
 10 

 SECTION 2.09. Refinancings. The Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class may be
Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, any Secured Party of any other Class, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, that nothing in this
Section shall affect any limitation on any such Refinancing that is set forth in the Pari Passu Lien Documents of any such other Class; provided, further, that if any obligations of the Grantors in respect of such Refinancing
Indebtedness shall be secured by Liens on any Shared Collateral, then the administrative agent, trustee or similar representative of the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall become a party hereto (to the extent not already a party hereto)
and such obligations and the holders thereof shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing Indebtedness shall have executed an Additional Authorized
Representative Joinder Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.10. Controlling Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. 

(a) The Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in
its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such
Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section. Each Authorized Representative agrees to deliver any Shared Collateral constituting
Possessory Collateral promptly to the Controlling Collateral Agent and pending delivery to the Controlling Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in
its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari Passu Lien
Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section. 
 (b) The duties or responsibilities of the
Controlling Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative under this Section shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party for
purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Secured Parties therein and (in the case of each Authorized Representative) delivering any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral promptly to the Controlling Collateral Agent. 

ARTICLE III 

DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO OBLIGATIONS AND LIENS 

Whenever, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Controlling Collateral Agent or
the Authorized Representative of any Class shall be required to determine the existence or amount of any Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any Class, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Pari Passu Lien Obligations of any
Class (and whether such Lien constitutes a valid and perfected Lien), it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the Authorized Representative of such Class and shall be entitled to make such determination on the
basis of the information so furnished; provided that if, notwithstanding such request, the Authorized Representative of the applicable Class shall fail or refuse to promptly provide the requested information, the requesting Controlling
Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by reliance upon an Officer’s Certificate. The Controlling Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be
fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured Party
or any other Person as a result of such determination or any action or not taken pursuant thereto. 

  
 11 

 ARTICLE IV 

CONCERNING THE CONTROLLING COLLATERAL AGENT 

SECTION 4.01. Appointment and Authority. 

(a) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably appoints the
Controlling Collateral Agent as such hereunder and under each of the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, and authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Controlling Collateral
Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby grants to the
Controlling Collateral Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Pari Passu Lien Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Secured Party’s behalf. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Controlling Collateral Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute (i) any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Shared Collateral, and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement as Designated Notes Priority Agent. 

(b) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the
Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, without regard to
any rights, remedies or powers to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled to as a result of their holding Pari Passu Lien Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the
Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of
Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Pari Passu Lien
Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect
the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its
Related Secured Parties, waives any claim they may now or hereafter have against the Controlling Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative or any Secured Party of any other Class arising out of (i) any actions that the Controlling
Collateral Agent or any such Authorized Representative or Secured Party takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale
or other disposition, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or
any other party) in accordance with the applicable Pari Passu Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the
Pari Passu Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Controlling Collateral Agent or Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or
(iii) subject to Section 2.06, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law by, the Company or
any of their respective Subsidiaries, as debtor-in- possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not accept
any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Pari Passu Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any equivalent section of any other similar statute or law of any jurisdiction, as applicable,
without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing Secured Parties for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral. 

SECTION 4.02. Rights as a Secured Party. The Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights,
protections and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party of any Class as any other Secured Party of such Class under any Pari Passu Lien Documents and may exercise the same as though it were not the Controlling Collateral Agent and the
term “Secured Party”, “Secured Parties”, “Indenture Secured Party”, “Indenture Secured Parties”, “Initial Additional Secured Party”, “Initial Additional Secured Parties”, “Additional
Secured Party” or “Additional Secured Parties”, as applicable, shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. 

  
 12 

 SECTION 4.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall not have
any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents to which it is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Controlling Collateral Agent: 

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except to the extent directed and indemnified to its satisfaction pursuant to the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents to which the Controlling Collateral Agent is a party and is required to exercise, provided that the Controlling Collateral
Agent shall not be required to take any action that may expose the Controlling Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu Lien Security Document or applicable law; 

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents to which the
Controlling Collateral Agent is a party, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 

(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (A) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement; 

(v) shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under any Pari Passu Lien Documents of any
Class unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Controlling Collateral Agent by the Authorized Representative of such Class or the Company in accordance with the applicable Pari Passu Lien
Document; 
 (vi) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty

required under the Indenture, into such amendments or modifications of this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to reflect such Refinancing or such incurrence and are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and each
such Authorized Representative. 
 SECTION 7.03. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, as well as the other Secured Parties, all of whom are intended to be bound by, and to be third-party beneficiaries of, this Agreement.

Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The
rights and obligations of each party hereto shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. The Adviser shall comply in all material respects with all applicable law and regulations. 

9. Compensation. 

(a) During the term hereof, as the same may be extended from time to time, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Advisory Fee. The Adviser
shall compute each installment of the Advisory Fee as promptly as possible after the end of the month with respect to which such installment is payable. The accrued fees will be payable monthly as promptly as possible after the end of each month
during which this Agreement is in effect. A copy of the computations made by the Adviser to calculate such installment shall thereafter, for informational purposes only, promptly be delivered to the Board. The Advisory Fee shall be paid in cash
unless the Adviser elects, in its sole discretion, to receive all or a portion of the Advisory Fee in OP Units; provided, that such election to receive all or a portion of the fee in OP Units shall be made by notice to the Board (the
“Election Notice”) at the time the Adviser delivers to the Board the computation of the Advisory Fee for such month. To the extent that the Adviser elects to receive OP Units in payment of all or a portion of the Advisory Fee
for any particular month, the number of OP Units payable to the Adviser for such month shall equal (i) the dollar amount of the portion of the monthly installment of the Advisory Fee payable in OP Units (as set forth in the Election Notice)
divided by (ii) the Value Per Share. The Advisory Fee shall be payable independent of the performance of the Company or the Investments. The Adviser’s ability to receive OP Units in payment of all or a portion of the Advisory Fee
due to the Adviser under this Agreement shall be subject to complying with all U.S. federal and state securities laws. 
 (b) The Adviser
may waive a portion of its fees. If this Agreement becomes effective subsequent to the first day of a month or shall terminate before the last day of a month, compensation for such month shall be computed in a manner consistent with the calculation
of the fees payable on a monthly basis. 
 10. Expenses. 

(a) In addition to the compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to Section 9, the Company shall pay directly or
reimburse the Adviser for all of the documented Operating Expenses and Offering Expenses (together, “Expenses”) paid or incurred by the Adviser or its Affiliates in connection with the services it provides to the Company and
its subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement. Any Expenses payable by the Company or reimbursable to the Adviser pursuant to this Agreement shall not be in amounts greater than those which would be payable to outside professionals or consultants
engaged to perform such services pursuant to agreements negotiated on an arm’s length basis. Reimbursement of Operating Expenses under this Section 10, plus Advisory Fees under Section 9, may
not exceed 1.5% of the Average Total Gross Asset Value for any calendar year or portion thereof, provided, however, that this limitation will not apply to legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other service fees incurred in connection with
extraordinary litigation, an initial public offering of equity securities of the Company, an Internalization, mergers and acquisitions and other events outside the Company’s ordinary course of business or any out-of-pocket acquisition or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of Real Estate Assets.

 11. Other Services. Should the Board request that the
Adviser or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company and its subsidiaries other than set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such customary rates and in such
customary amounts as are agreed upon by the Adviser and the Board, including a majority of any directors independent of the Adviser, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 12. Other Activities of the Adviser. Except as set forth in
this Section 12, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Adviser or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons
(including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by NexPoint or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, member, partner, employee, or stockholder of
the Adviser or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services;
provided, however, that the Adviser must devote sufficient resources to the Company’s business to discharge its obligations to the Company under this Agreement. The Adviser may, with respect to any investment in which the Company
is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Specifically, it is contemplated that the Company may enter into Joint Ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such Joint Ventures or arrangements, the Adviser may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case
the Adviser will earn fees for rendering such advice and service. 
 The Board acknowledges that the Adviser and its Affiliates are subject
to various conflicts of interest, including without limitation, those set forth in the PPM. The Adviser shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or is
reasonably likely to create a conflict of interest between the Adviser’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. 

13. Term and Termination. 

(a) Duration. This Agreement shall become effective on the date first set forth above. Unless terminated as herein provided, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until November 1, 2021 (the “Initial Term”). Subsequent to the Initial Term, this Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically renewed for an additional one-year period (an “Automatic Renewal Term”), unless the Company or the Adviser elects not to renew this Agreement in accordance with Section 13(c) below. 

(b) Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. Any amendment of this Agreement shall be approved by either (i) the Company’s Board of Directors or (ii) a vote of the
Company’s Stockholders. 
 (c) Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) upon
written notice given 180 days’ prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Automatic Renewal Term to the Adviser, the Company may, without cause, in connection with the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Automatic Renewal
Term, decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the anniversary date of this Agreement next following the delivery of such notice, (ii) no later
than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Automatic Renewal Term, the Adviser may deliver written notice to the Company informing it of the Adviser’s intention to decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon
this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the anniversary date of this Agreement next following the delivery of such notice, (iii) the Company may terminate this Agreement upon the
occurrence of a Cause Event by giving written notice to the Adviser of the occurrence of a Cause Event, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate 30 days after delivery of such written notice, (iv) the Adviser may terminate this Agreement by
giving written notice to the Company in the event that the Company shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, condition or covenant contained in this Agreement and such default shall have continued for a

  
 9 

 
period of 30 days before the Adviser had given written notice to the Company of such default, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate 30 days after delivery of such written notice, (v) the
Adviser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Company in the event that any of the Adviser Designees are not elected or appointed to the Board as set forth in Section 15, whereupon this Agreement
shall terminate 30 days after delivery of such written notice and (vi) this Agreement will automatically terminate on the Internalization Closing. 

14. Payments and Duties Upon Termination. 

(a) Amounts Owed. The Company shall pay the Adviser the Termination Fee before or on the last day of the Initial Term, the Automatic
Renewal Term or the end of the 30-day period, as the case may be, provided that the Company is not required to pay the Adviser the Termination Fee if this Agreement is terminated by the Company as a result of
a Cause Event. 
 (b) Adviser’s Duties. The Adviser shall promptly upon termination of this Agreement: 

(i) pay over to the Company all money collected and held for the account of the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, after
deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled; 
 (ii) deliver to the Board a full
accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board; 

(iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and its subsidiaries then in the custody of the
Adviser; and 
 (iv) reasonably cooperate with the Company and its subsidiaries, at the Company’s expense, to provide an orderly
management transition. 
 15. Board Nominations. So long as this Agreement is in effect, (a) the Adviser shall have the
right to designate individuals (the “Adviser Designees”) to be nominated for election (or re-election) to the Board such that, if elected, there shall be two Adviser Designees serving
on the Board, and the Company will take all reasonably necessary action to nominate and include the Adviser Designees in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual meeting of Stockholders or
special meeting of Stockholders at which directors are to be elected, including, without limitation, at every adjournment or postponement thereof, or in a written consent of Stockholders relating to the election of directors, and the Company will
recommend each such individual be elected as a director and will solicit proxies or consents in favor thereof, and (b) in the event that a vacancy on the Board is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal
of any of the Adviser Designees, the Company will take all reasonably necessary action (whether by Board or Stockholder action) to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as soon as reasonably practicable by a new designee of the Adviser.

 16. Internalization. At any time at which the Company and the Adviser mutually agree to internalize the Adviser, pursuant
to which the Company will purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding and issued partnership interests of the Adviser (the “Adviser Equity”) from the Adviser (the “Internalization”) and its
general partner, NexPoint Real Estate Advisors GP, LLC (the “Adviser GP”), the purchase price for the Adviser Equity shall be equal to the Internalization Fee. At the closing of the Internalization (the
“Internalization Closing”), the Company shall pay the Internalization Fee to the Adviser in stock of the Company. At the Internalization Closing, the Adviser and the Adviser GP shall transfer the Adviser Equity, free and
clear of any lien or encumbrance, and shall deliver to the Company certificates evidencing the Adviser Equity, duly endorsed in blank and accompanied by a duly executed instrument of assignment separate from the certificate, together with any other
documentation reasonably requested by the Company to evidence the transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Internalization occurs pursuant to this Section 16, the Adviser shall not be entitled to the Termination Fee
provided under Section 13.

 17. Limitation of Liability, Exculpation and Indemnification by the Company and
its Subsidiaries. 
 (a) Whether or not expressly provided in this Agreement, every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Adviser or any of its respective Affiliates and their respective partners, members, officers, directors, employees and agents (including parties acting as agents for the execution of
transactions) (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, “Covered Persons”) shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 17. 

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Company and its subsidiaries for any act or omission
(including but not limited to (i) any act or omission by any Covered Person in connection with the conduct of the business of the Company or its subsidiaries, that is determined by such Covered Person in good faith to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) any act or omission by any Covered Person based on the suggestions of any professional advisor of the Company or its subsidiaries whom such Covered Person believes is authorized to make
such suggestions on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries, (iii) any act or omission by the Company or its subsidiaries, or (iv) any mistake, negligence, misconduct or bad faith of any broker or other agent of the Company or its
subsidiaries selected by the Covered Person with reasonable care), unless any such act or omission by such Covered Person constitutes bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties
(as determined by a non-appealable judgment of a court or arbitration proceeding of competent jurisdiction). 

(c) A Covered Person may consult with legal counsel or accountants selected by such Covered Person and any act or omission by such Covered
Person on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries or in furtherance of the business of the Company or its subsidiaries in good faith in reliance on and in accordance with the advice of such counsel or accountants shall be full justification for
the act or omission, and such Covered Person shall be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act if the counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care. 

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company or its applicable subsidiaries shall indemnify and save harmless Covered Persons, from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and expenses of investigating or
defending against any claim or alleged claim, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by any Covered Person and arise out of or in connection with the business or Investments of the Company or its
subsidiaries, or the performance by the Covered Person of its responsibilities hereunder, provided that the Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent the Covered Person’s conduct constitutes bad faith,
fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties (as determined by a non-appealable judgment of a court or arbitration proceeding of competent
jurisdiction). The termination of any proceeding by settlement, judgment, order or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted bad faith, fraud,
willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties. 
 (e) Expenses incurred by a Covered
Person in defense or settlement of any claim that shall be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder, shall be advanced by the Company or its applicable subsidiaries prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the Covered Person to repay the amount advanced to the extent that it shall be determined ultimately that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. 

(f) The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to
which the Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall be extended to the Covered Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives. 

  
 11 

 (g) The provisions of this Section 17 are expressly intended to
confer benefits upon Covered Persons and such provisions shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration or any termination of this Agreement. 

(h) No Covered Person shall be liable hereunder for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent thereto. 

18. Indemnification by the Adviser. 

(a) The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including
amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown,
liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by reason of the Adviser’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Adviser
shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any written advice or written recommendation given by the Adviser. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate maximum amount that the Adviser may be liable to the Company
pursuant to this Agreement shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, never exceed the amount of the Advisory Fees received by the Adviser under this Agreement prior to the date that the acts or omissions giving rise to a claim for indemnification
or liability shall have occurred. In no event shall the Adviser be liable for special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, or consequential loss, or damage of any kind whatsoever, including without limitation lost profits. The foregoing limitations shall
not apply to the extent such damages are determined in a final binding non-appealable court or arbitration proceeding to result from the bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of its duties of the Adviser. 
 (c) The provisions of this Section 18 are
expressly intended to confer benefits upon the Company and such provisions shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration or any termination of this Agreement. 

19. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly received (a) if given by electronic mail transmitted delivery receipt requested, upon receipt of a delivery receipt, (b) if given by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, three
business days after being deposited in the U.S. mails and (c) if given by courier or other means, when received or personally delivered, and, in any such case, addressed as follows:
