 -13- 

 
Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation
Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the

interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging
Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of
interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed
based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered
rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.

contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business with a third party or on terms that would be acceptable to a third party in an arms-length transaction, and in either case, do not include a premium component evidencing a guaranty or

 ARTICLE 2 
 THE SECURITIES 
 SECTION 2.01. Amount of Securities; Issuable in Series. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Original Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is $275,000,000. The
Securities may be issued in one or more series. All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination. 
 The Company may from time to time after the Issue Date issue Additional Securities under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as (i) the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Additional Securities is at
such time permitted by Section 4.03 and (ii) such Additional Securities are issued in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Securities issued after the Issue Date (except for
Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 3.06, 4.06(e), 4.08(c) or the Appendix), there shall be
(a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officers’ Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental
hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities: 
 (1) whether such Additional Securities shall be issued as part
of a new or existing series of Securities and the title of such Additional Securities (which shall distinguish the Additional Securities of the series from Securities of any other series); 
 (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;

 (3) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Securities, including the date from which interest on such
Additional Securities shall accrue; 
 (4) if applicable, that such Additional Securities shall be issuable in whole or in
part in the form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Securities in addition to or in lieu of those set
forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.2 of the Appendix in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Securities registered, or any
transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof; and 
 (5) if applicable, that such Additional Securities that are not Transfer Restricted Securities shall not be issued in the form of Initial
Securities as set forth in Exhibit A, but shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit B. 
 If any of the
terms of any Additional Securities are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action 

  

 -33- 

 
shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’
Certificate or the indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Securities. 
 SECTION 2.02. Form and Dating. 

Provisions relating to the Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities are set forth in the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly
made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Securities (if issued as Transfer Restricted Securities) and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Exchange Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and
(ii) any Additional Securities issued other than as Transfer Restricted Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly
made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation,
legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiples thereof. 
 SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. 
 The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer (an “Authentication Order”) (a) Original Securities for original issue on the
date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $275,000,000, (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Securities in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein and (c) the
Exchange Securities for issue in a Registered Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration Agreement for a like principal amount of Initial Securities exchanged pursuant thereto or otherwise pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be Initial Securities or Exchange Securities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Appendix, any issuance of Additional Securities after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,000, whether such Additional Securities are of the same or a
different series than the Original Securities. 
 One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the
Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the
certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an 

  

 -34- 

 
instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating
agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or
agent for service of notices and demands. 
 SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 (a) The Company shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one
or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Company initially appoints
the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and the Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. 
 (b) The Company may enter into
an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company
shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07.
The Company or any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 (c) The Company may
remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by
a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as
Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee; provided, however, that
the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08. 
 SECTION 2.05. Paying
Agent To Hold Money in Trust. 
 Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time on each due date of the principal of and interest on any Security,
the Company shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and
interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the
money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may 

  

 -35- 

 
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this
Section, a Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or Other Affiliate of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to
the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying agent for the Securities. 
 SECTION 2.06. 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 Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 
 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and
Exchange. 
 The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for
registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When
Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration
of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in
connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be
redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is
registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Company,
any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Any Holder of a beneficial
interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global
Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 All Securities 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 Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
  

 -36- 

 SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities. 
 If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Company and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such
Holder has notice thereof, of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking, and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Security being
acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company,
such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the
Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Security). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof. 
 Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Securities issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities. 
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Securities. 
 Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation
and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to
Section 2.08. 
 If a Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company) segregates
and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as
the case may be, and no Paying Agent is 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 Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on
them ceases to accrue. 
  

 -37- 

 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities. 
 In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as may be
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such
temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Securities. 
 SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. 
 The Company at any time may
deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures or deliver canceled Securities to the Company pursuant to written direction
by an Officer. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities other than pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Securities (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the rate
provided in the Securities and in Section 4.01 hereof in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of defaulted interest on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Company (or upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and
the amount of such interest to be paid. The Company may make payment of any defaulted interest on the Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. 
 The Company in
issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption 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 Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs
and “Common Code” numbers. 
  

 -38- 

 SECTION 2.14. Calculation of Principal Amount of Securities 
 The aggregate principal amount of the Securities, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Securities at such date of
determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of
determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then
outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Company and delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 
 SECTION 3.01. Redemption. 
 The Securities may be redeemed, in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 5 of
the form of Securities set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. 
 SECTION 3.02. Applicability of Article. 
 Redemption of
Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article. 
 SECTION 3.03. Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Security, it shall furnish an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee setting forth (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date,
(iii) the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date if the
redemption is pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Security, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption
will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 15 days
after the date of notice to the Trustee. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
 SECTION 3.04. Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. 
 In
the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which 

  

 -39- 

 
such Securities are listed, or if such Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or any other manner that the Trustee deems practicable, or
as otherwise required by law (and in each case such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided that no Securities of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding
Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of
$1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. After receipt of the items described in Section 3.03, the Trustee
shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 3.05. Notice of Optional Redemption.

 (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Security, the Company shall
mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. 
 Any such notice
shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (i) the redemption date; 
 (ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date; 
 (iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (iv) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, plus accrued interest;

 (v) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the
particular Securities to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption; 
 (vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (vii) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and 
 (viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or ISIN and/or “Common Code” number,
if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
 (b) At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice
of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section. 
  

 -40- 

 SECTION 3.06. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the
Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03.

relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt;
provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal
amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

amounts equal to the amounts required for any direct parent of the Company, if applicable, to pay fees and expenses (including franchise or similar taxes) required to maintain its corporate existences, customary salary, bonus and other benefits
payable to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, officers and employees of any direct parent of the Company, if applicable, and general corporate overhead expenses of any direct parent of the Company, if applicable, in each case to the extent such
fees and expenses are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Company, if applicable, and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000 in any one fiscal year; provided, that any unused amounts may be carried over to
the next fiscal year; 
 (B) in amounts equal to amounts required for any direct parent of the Company, if applicable, to pay
interest and/or principal on Indebtedness the proceeds of which have been contributed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and that has been guaranteed by, or is otherwise considered Indebtedness of, the Company Incurred in
accordance with Section 4.03 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000 in any one fiscal year; provided, that any unused amounts may be carried over to the next fiscal year; 
 provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (vi), (vii), (x) and (xi) of
this Section 4.04(b), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 
 (c) As of the Issue Date, all of the Company’s wholly owned Domestic Subsidiaries shall be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the
definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the
Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation shall only be permitted if a Restricted Payment in such
amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 4.05.
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any
consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (a)(i) pay dividends or
make any other distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (1) on its Capital Stock; or (2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or by, its profits; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
  

 -52- 

 (b) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 
 (c) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; except in each case for such
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the
Issue Date, including pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Agreement Documents; 
 (2) this Indenture and the
Securities (and any Exchange Securities and guarantees thereof); 
 (3) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or
order; 
 (4) any agreement or other instrument relating to Indebtedness of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary which was in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is
not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; 
 (5) any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of assets or stock (including by way of merger) of such Restricted Subsidiary
pending the closing of such sale or disposition; 
 (6) Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant
Sections 4.03 and 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 
 (7)
restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (8) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and ancillary agreements entered into in connection therewith and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (9) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature discussed
in clause (c) above on the property so acquired; 
  

 -53- 

 (10) customary provisions contained in leases, licenses and other similar agreements
entered into in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the type described in clause (c) above on the property subject to such lease; 
 (11) any encumbrance or restriction of a Receivables Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing;
provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary; 
 (12) other Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (i) that is a Guarantor that is Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03 or (ii) that is Incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of the
Company subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to clause (iv), (xi) or (xix) of Section 4.03(b); 
 (13) any
Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 4.04 and any Permitted Investment; or 
 (14) any encumbrances or
restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or
obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the
Company, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement,
refunding, replacement or refinancing. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, (i) the priority of any
Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the
subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or
advances. 
 SECTION 4.06 Asset Sales. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the
Company) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the
amount of: 
 (i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance
sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, 
  

 -54- 

 (ii) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received), and 

(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an
aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $20.0 million at the time of the receipt of such Designated
Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); 
 shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a). 
 (b) Within 365 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option: 
 (i) to
permanently reduce Obligations under the Credit Agreement (and, in the case of revolving Obligations, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) or Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that if the Company or any Guarantor shall
so reduce Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Securities by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to
purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of Securities) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; 
 (ii) to an investment
in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), assets, or property or
capital expenditures, in each case used or useful in a Similar Business; 
 (iii) to make an investment in any one or more
businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), properties or assets that replace the
properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; 
 (iv) to make a capital expenditure; 
 provided that (x) in the case of Section 4.06(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net
Proceeds from the date of such commitment and, (y) in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another
binding commitment within nine months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into such a commitment under clause (y) one
time with respect to each Asset Sale. 
  

 -55- 

 Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as
provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Securities, as described in clause (i) above, shall be
deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders of
Securities (and, at the option of the Company, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Securities (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness), that is an integral multiple of
$1,000 that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of
the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the
date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.06. The Company shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that
Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(f), with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered by
holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.04. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset
at zero. 
 An Asset Sale Offer may be made in advance of the consummation of an Asset Sale, and conditioned upon the consummation of such
Asset Sale, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Asset Sale at the time of making of the Asset Sale Offer. 
 (c) The Company shall
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 (d) Not later than the date upon which copy of the written notice of an Asset
Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales
pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and 

  

 -56- 

 
(iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds to be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing
by the Company, and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall (1) accept
for payment and deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer that are to be purchased by the Company together with an Officer’s Certificate
stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased by the Company and the purchase price. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to
each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Company to the Trustee are greater than the purchase price of the Securities tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the
Company promptly after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with Section 4.06. 
 (e) Holders electing to
have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Securities completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice, or transfer by
book-entry transfer, at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than two Business Days prior to the Purchase Date, a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased.
If at the end of the Offer Period more Securities (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, selection of such Securities for purchase shall be made by the Trustee in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed, or if such Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis or as otherwise required by law, (and in each case in such
manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided that no Securities of $1,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be made pursuant to the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness.

 (f) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the
purchase date to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s registered address. If any Security is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that
has been or is to be purchased. 
 SECTION 4.07 Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company shall not, and shall 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 transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$10.0 million, unless: 
 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or
the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 
  

 -57- 

 (ii) the issuer delivers to the Trustee: 
 (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$10.0 million, a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or if a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company is interested in the Affiliate Transaction, a majority of the disinterested
directors, approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above; and 
 (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value of $20.0 million or more, the resolution and certificate described
in the preceding clause (a) and a written opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view issued by an Independent Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors
of the Company. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following: 
 (i)(A) transactions between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (B) any merger of the Company and any
direct or indirect parent company of the Company; provided that such parent company shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Company and such merger is otherwise
in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected for a bona fide business purpose; 
 (ii) Restricted Payments
permitted by Section 4.04 and Permitted Investments; 
 (iii) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and
indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company; 
 (iv) transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an
Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (i) of Section 4.07(a); 
 (v) payments or loans to employees or consultants which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or if a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Company is interested in the Affiliate Transaction, a majority of the disinterested directors in good faith; 
  

 -58- 

 (vi) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as
any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Securities in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction
contemplated thereby as described in the Offering Memorandum; 
 (vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any amendment
thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any
such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a
whole, or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Securities in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (viii)(A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, purchasers, lessees or lessors, or sellers of goods or services, in each case
in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the senior management of the Company or the Board of
Directors of the Company, or if a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company is interested in the Affiliate Transaction, a majority of the disinterested directors (which determination shall be conclusive), or are on terms at least as
favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party or (B) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (ix) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing;

as appropriate, in good faith; 
 (xii) any contribution to the capital of the Company; 
 (xiii) transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person, a director of which is also a director of
the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such direct or indirect parent company, as the case maybe, on any matter
involving such other Person; 
  

 -59- 

 (xiv) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; 
 (xv) any employment agreements entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; and

 (xvi)(A) the entering into of any tax sharing agreement or arrangement; provided, that such agreement or arrangement
meets the requirements of clause (xv) of Section 4.04(b) and is otherwise on terms reasonable for tax sharing agreements under similar circumstances and (B) any payments permitted by clause (xv) of Section 4.04(b).

 SECTION 4.08. Change of Control. 
 (a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms
contemplated in this Section 4.08; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase any Securities pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that
it has exercised its right to redeem such Securities in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture. 
 (b) Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture, the Company shall mail a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each
Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: 
 (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to
require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of the
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 
 (ii) the
circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control; 
 (iii) the repurchase date
(which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and

instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased. 
 (c) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” duly completed, to the Company at the address
specified in the notice, or transfer the Security by book-entry transfer, at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. The Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than two
Business Days prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name 

  

 -60- 

 
of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
election to have such Security purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. 
 (d) On the purchase date, the Company shall (1) accept for payment all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest in respect of all Securities properly tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all Securities
properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Holders entitled
thereto. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 4.08(b) applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company
and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (f) A Change of Control Offer may be
made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. Securities repurchased by the Company pursuant
to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Securities issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Company. Securities purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding clause (e) will have the
status of Securities issued and outstanding. 
 (g) At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for
purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. A Security shall be deemed to have been
accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder. 
 (h) Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Company to make such offer have been complied with.

 (i) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section, the Company shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof. 
  

 -61- 

 SECTION 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or
not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply
with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA. 
 SECTION 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall
execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.11. Future Guarantors. The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is a
Receivables Subsidiary) that (a) Incurs or guarantees Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or (b) Incurs Indebtedness other than under clauses (iv) through (xxii) of Section 4.03, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit F pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall guarantee payment of the Securities. In addition, each Guarantee shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be
guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally. 
 Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Article 11. 
 SECTION 4.12. Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer
to exist any Lien on any asset or property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, that secures any Indebtedness of the Company or
any Guarantor unless the Securities are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the Securities) the obligations so secured or until such time as such obligations are
no longer secured by a Lien. The preceding sentence shall not require the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to secure the Securities if the Lien consists of a Permitted Lien. Any Lien which is granted to secure the Securities or
such Guarantee under this Section 4.12 shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Securities or such Guarantee under this Section 4.12.

 SECTION 4.13. [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 SECTION 4.14. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which
may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or 

  

 -62- 

 
agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 13.02. 
 (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 (c) The Company
hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its Agent as such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04. 
 SECTION 4.15. Covenant Suspension. 
 During any period of time that the Securities have a Moody’s rating of Baa3 or
higher or an S&P rating of BBB- or higher (each, an “Investment Grade Rating”) and no Default has occurred and is then continuing (such occurrence, a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
shall not be subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 and 5.01(a)(iv) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 
 Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be set at zero. During any Suspension Period, the Company’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”; provided that the Company’s Board of Directors shall be permitted to designate a new Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if at the time of such
designation such designation would not have been prohibited by the terms of this Indenture if the Suspended Covenants were still in effect. In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for
any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, one or both of the Rating Agencies, as applicable, withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes such that the Notes do not have an Investment Grade
Rating (such date, the “Reinstatement Date”), then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants, it being understood that no actions taken by (or omissions of) the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the suspension period shall constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Suspended Covenants. 
 On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be subject to Section 4.03. To the extent such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03, such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the issue date of the Securities, so that it is classified
as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). 
  

 -63- 

 Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments
under the Section 4.04 shall be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect from the date of this Indenture and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount
available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a) to the extent provided therein. 
 Notwithstanding that the Suspended
Covenants may be reinstated: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure
to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or on the Reinstatement Date) or after the Suspension Period based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period; and 
 (2) neither (a) the continued existence, after the Reinstatement Date, of facts and circumstances or obligations that were incurred
or otherwise came into existence during a Suspension Period nor (b) the performance of any such obligations, shall constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause a Default or Event of Default thereunder;
provided that (1) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries did not incur or otherwise cause such facts and circumstances or obligations to exist in anticipation of a withdrawal or downgrade below Baa3 by Moody’s or below BBB- by
S&P and (2) the Company reasonably believed that such incurrence or actions would not result in such withdrawal or downgrade.

Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

to the provisions of Section 11.02(b) (which govern the release of a Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Guarantor), each Guarantor shall not, and the Company shall not permit any Guarantor
to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more
related transactions to, any Person (other than any such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition in connection with the Transactions described in the Offering Memorandum) unless: 
 (i) such Guarantor is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such
Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”); 
  

 -65- 

 (ii) the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Guarantor) expressly assumes all the
obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and such Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and 
 (iii) the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Guarantor) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee an

not increased thereby and (2) a Guarantor may merge with another Guarantor or the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets (collectively, a “Transfer”) to the Company or any
Guarantor. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. 
 An “Event of Default” occurs if: 
 (a) the Company defaults in any payment of
interest on any Security when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, 
 (b) the
Company defaults in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Security when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise, 
 (c) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to comply with any of its agreements in the Securities or this Indenture
(other than those referred to in clause (a) or (b) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below, 
 (d) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) within any applicable grace period after final
maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total principal amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $20.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent,

  

 -66- 

 (e) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to or within the
meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary case; 
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to
insolvency, 
 (f) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case; 
 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or for any substantial part of its property; or

 (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company; 
 or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days, 
 (g) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $20.0 million or its foreign currency
equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days following the entry thereof, or 
 (h) any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any
Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after the notice specified below. 
 The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means
Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

 -67- 

 A Default under clause (d) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies
the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company and the Trustee of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (d) above after
receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence
thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee upon written request of Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of outstanding Securities, shall declare to the Company and the Trustee that the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities is due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and
interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and
be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences
if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 In the event of any Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(d), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of the
Securities, if within 60 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or
(y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being
understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Securities as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities 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. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative. 
  

 -68- 

 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Provided the Securities are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase
any Security when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed
cured and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse
to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability;
provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on
Suits. 
 (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may
pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
 (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written
notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee does not
comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (v) the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
 (b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Holders To Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
  

 -69- 

 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Securities) and the amounts provided for in
Section 7.07. 
 SECTION 6.09. 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 (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses
disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or
any Guarantor, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other
properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or
property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 
 SECOND: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section. 
  

 -70- 

 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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of
the Securities. 
 SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
 Neither the Company nor any Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 7

Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Trust Officer has actual knowledge or of which written notice shall have been given to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a reasonable 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 of which a Trust Officer has actual knowledge or of which written notice shall have been given

Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

 (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,

fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Company and shall incur
no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,

 (h) The rights, privileges,

act hereunder.

the Securities and not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the Holders of Securities and the Company having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held
by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 
 If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default within the
earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any
Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

 The Trustee shall comply with Section 313(a) of the
TIA if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA.

become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection on the Securities and Guarantees, if any,

this Indenture or Guarantee against the Company or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim
(whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Securities or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Guarantor of its
indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Company and
the Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such
indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against
any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party caused by such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities 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 Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 The Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the
resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect
to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 
 No provision of this
Indenture shall require 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 in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction. 
  

 -75- 

 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (i) the Trustee fails
to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 (b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The
retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing hereunder to the Trustee have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. 
 (d) 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
10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed
as provided in Section 310(b) of the TIA, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for
the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. 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. 
  

 -76- 

 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 Securities 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
Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall
have. 
 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA. 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.
The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of
the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. 
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship
listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. 
 This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Securities:

 (a) when (i) all the Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities pursuant to
Section 2.08 which have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all of the Securities (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or (c) if redeemable at the option of the
Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient in the written opinion of a firm of independent public accountants 

  

 -77- 

 
delivered to the Trustee to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities at maturity, or upon redemption, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity
or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Company and/or the Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under this
Indenture; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
 Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (with respect to such Securities) (“legal defeasance
option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11 and 4.12 and the operation of Section 5.01 and Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the
Company only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(g) and 6.01(h) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its
covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company terminates all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (with respect to such Securities) by exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the
obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of such Securities shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 
 If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of
the Securities so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of
the Company only), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01. 
 Upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 
 (d) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09,
7.07, 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. 
 (a) The
Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if: 
 (i) the Company irrevocably
deposits in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient 

  

 -78- 

 
or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and the interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay the principal of
and premium (if any) and interest on the Securities when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date; 
 (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their
opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient
to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (iii) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 
 (iv) the deposit and defeasance and discharge do not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 
 (v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that
(1) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; 
 (vi) the deposit and defeasance and discharge do not impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such holder’s Securities on or after the due dates
therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Securities; 
 (vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of
such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; 
 (viii) the Company delivers to the Trustee (1) an Opinion of Counsel, containing the customary assumptions and exceptions, to the
effect that upon and immediately following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally under any applicable law,
and (2) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Securities over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and 
  

 -79- 

 (ix) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with. 
 (b) Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Securities at a future date in
accordance with Article 3. 
 SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations (including
proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and
interest on the Securities so discharged or defeased. 
 SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Company. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn
over to the Company upon request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of
the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and,
thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
 SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.06.
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of
principal of or interest on, any such Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations
held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of the Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this
Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Holder: 
 (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency; 
 (ii) to comply with Article 5; 
 (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however,
that the uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; 
 (iv) to add additional Guarantees with respect to the Securities or to secure the Securities; 
 (v) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
Company; 
 (vi) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying or maintaining the qualification of,
this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (vii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or

 (viii) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Additional Securities, which shall have terms
substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities, and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Securities, as a single issue of securities. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The
failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of the Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities, and, subject to Section 6.04 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this
Indenture or the Securities or Guarantees may be waived, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for or purchase of the Securities). However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Security affected, an amendment may not: 
 (i) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, 
  

 -81- 

 (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security,

 (iii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security, 
 (iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may be redeemed in accordance
with Article 3, 
 (v) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in such Security, 
 (vi) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Securities
on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities, 
 (vii) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section 9.02, or 
 (viii) modify the Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders. 
 It shall not be necessary for the
consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The
failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02. 
 SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent
Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate from 
  

 -82- 

 
the Company certifying that the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every
Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth
in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Company and the Trustee. 
 (b) The Company 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 above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture, provided that the Trustee agrees with any decision by the Company not to fix a record date for such purpose. 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 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Company may require the Holder of the
Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the
Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments. Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution
of any such amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate from the Company pursuant to Section 9.04(a) above, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the
provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). 
 SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall, directly
or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities
unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
  

 -83- 

 SECTION 9.08. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. All Securities issued under this Indenture shall
vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Securities may vote) as one class and no series of Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. Determinations as to whether Holders of the
requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 2.14. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 [Intentionally Omitted] 
 ARTICLE 11 
 GUARANTEES

 SECTION 11.01. Guarantees. 
 (a) Each
Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due,
whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on in respect of the Securities and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the
Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Guaranteed Obligation. 
 (b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by
(i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any
extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iv) the
release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 11.02(b). 
  

 -84- 

 (c) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder
divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as
payment of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company
be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor. 
 (d) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes
a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 (e) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01, 11.02 and 11.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to
any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, 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 obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay,
willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by 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 any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (f) Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations unless earlier terminated pursuant to the express terms of this Indenture. 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 or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or
otherwise. 
 (g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in
equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise,
or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to
the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary
obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 
  

 -85- 

 (h) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the
Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.01. 
 (i) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any
and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01. 
 (j) Upon request of the Trustee, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably
necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 11.02. Limitation on Liability. 
 (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
 (b) A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force
or effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article 11 upon:

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE SECURITY] 
 7.5% Senior Note due 2014 
  

	 	1.	Interest 

 AMERICAN RAILCAR INDUSTRIES, INC., a
Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum
shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2007. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for
or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from February 28, 2007 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal
at the rate borne by the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
  

	 	2.	Method of Payment 

 The Company shall pay interest
on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on February 15 or August 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and
on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). The Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United
States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest), at
the office of a Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also
be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by
giving written notice to the Trustee or a Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

  

	 	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, Wilmington
Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

 B-4 

	 	4.	Indenture 

 The Company issued the Securities under
an Indenture dated as of February 28, 2007 (the “Indenture”), among the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities
are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
 The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. This Security is one of the Exchange Securities referred to in the Indenture. The
Securities include the Initial Securities, the Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for the Initial Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Securities and Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of
securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other
distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries,
enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or
convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property. 
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and
interest, if any, on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the
Securities and the Indenture, the Guarantors, if any, have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	 	5.	Optional Redemption 

 Except as set forth in the
following two paragraphs, the Securities shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to March 1, 2011. Thereafter, the Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to
time, upon on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of
the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on March 1 of the years set forth below: 
  

				
	 Year
	  	Redemption

	  	103.750	%
	 2012
	  	101.875	%

	  	100.000	%

  

 B-5 

 In addition, prior to March 1, 2011, the Company may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole
at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Securities redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time on or prior to March 1, 2010, the Company may redeem
in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Company or
(2) by any direct or indirect parent of the Company, in each case, to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Company from it, at a redemption price equal to 107.500% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) must remain outstanding
after each such redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed to each
Holder of Securities being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	 	6.	Sinking Fund 

 The Securities are not subject to
any sinking fund. 
  

	 	7.	Notice of Redemption 

 Notice of redemption will be
mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in
part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or
before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

 B-6 

	 	8.	Repurchase of Securities at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales 

 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the
Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
 In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Securities upon the occurrence of certain events. 
  

	 	9.	[Intentionally Omitted] 

  

	 	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Securities
are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of
Securities to be redeemed. 
  

	 	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 

 The registered Holder of
this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

	 	12.	Unclaimed Money 

 If money for the payment of
principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, the Holders
entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
  

	 	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 

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

 B-7 

	 	14.	Amendment; Waiver 

 Subject to certain exceptions
set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities (voting as a single class) and
(ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture,
without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide
for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (iv) to add Guarantees with respect to the Securities or to secure the Securities; (v) to add additional covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vi) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vii) to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (viii) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Additional Securities. 
  

	 	15.	Defaults and Remedies 

 If an Event of Default
occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, in each
case, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
of the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities shall become 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 principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such
Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest
when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not
complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture 

  

 B-8 

 
or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to
taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
  

	 	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

 Subject to
certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its
Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	 	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No director, officer,
employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Company or of any Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Securities,
the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.

 [            ] 
 [            ] 
 Attention:
[            ] 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[            ] principal amount of the
7.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Securities”) of AMERICAN RAILCAR INDUSTRIES, INC. (the “Company”). 
 Upon transfer, the Securities
would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows: 
 Name:

Number:                         
 The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 
 1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in
Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000
principal amount of the Securities, and we are acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting,
are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 
 2. We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise transfer
such Securities prior to the date that is two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale
Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under
the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we 

  

 C-1 

 
reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB
and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an
institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited
investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Securities of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any
requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on
resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor
shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning
of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the
Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel,
certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.

 The payment of principal of and

Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash.

 3. Dissolution, Etc. In the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the

[Affiliate Debtor] or the Company or otherwise): 
  

	 	(a)	the holders of the Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payments in full in cash of all such Senior Debt (including, as applicable, interest accruing on, or original issue
discount accreting with respect to, such Senior Debt after the commencement of a bankruptcy case or proceeding at the contract rate whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such case or proceeding and any additional interest that would
have accrued thereon but for the commencement of any such case or proceeding) before the Holder is entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on or any other amounts payable in respect of this Note;

	 	(b)	any payment or distribution of assets of the [Affiliate Debtor] in the form of cash or property, to which the Holder would, except for the subordination provisions set forth herein,

and/or Administrative Agent notwithstanding the occurrence of any (a) insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding of or against the [Affiliate Debtor] or the Company,
its property or its creditors as such, (b) proceeding for any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the [Affiliate Debtor] or the Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings,
