2010 Warrant Plan, Including Form Warrant Certificate

 Exhibit 4.7 

FPB BANCORP, INC. 

2010 Warrant Plan 

ARTICLE I 

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

The Board of Directors of FPB Bancorp, Inc. (“FPB”) has determined that it is in the best interests of FPB to issue Warrants to
purchase FPB Common Stock in connection with FPB’s 2010 public offering of Units comprised of Common Stock and Warrants. FPB proposes to issue up to
                 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase                  shares
of Common Stock in Units. Each Unit will contain four shares of Common Stock and one Warrant which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of additional Common Stock. Therefore, the Board of Directors, in order to provide for the
above, has adopted this Warrant Plan (“Plan”) on the date set forth herein. 
 ARTICLE II 

SCOPE OF THE PLAN 

Section 1.    Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the following terms
have the meanings set forth below: 
  

	 	a.	“Board” means the Board of Directors of FPB. 

  

	 	b.	“Common Stock” means the $0.01 par value common stock of FPB. 

  

	 	c.	“Expiration Date” shall be 5:00 p.m. on ___________, 2015. 

  

	 	d.	“Plan” means this Warrant Plan as adopted by the Board, as set forth herein, and as amended from time to time. 

 

	 	e.	“Units” means units comprised of four shares of Common Stock and one Warrant sold in FPB’s 2010 public offering. 

 

	 	e.	“Warrant” means the right to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. 

 

	 	f.	“Warrant Certificate” means the evidence of ownership of Warrants, as executed and issued by FPB. 

Section 2.    Warrants. There are hereby authorized
                 Warrants, each of which shall be redeemable for one share of Common Stock of FPB. Warrants shall be included only in Units offered by FPB in its 2010
stock offering. Any Warrants authorized by this Plan that are not issued in connection with the 2010 stock offering shall automatically expire. 

Section 3.    Form of Warrants. The certificates evidencing the Warrants (the “Warrant
Certificates”) shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed,
lithographed or engraved thereon as FPB may 

 
deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, or as may be required to comply with any law, or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto, or to conform to
usage. 
 Section 4.    Issuance of Warrants. The Warrant Certificates when issued shall
be dated and signed on behalf of FPB, manually or by facsimile signature, by any two of its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, or Secretary under its corporate seal, if any. The seal of FPB, if any, may be in the form of a
facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrants. 

Section 5.    Registration of Warrant Certificates; Registered Owners. FPB shall maintain or cause
to be maintained books for registration of ownership and transfer of ownership of the Warrant Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Warrant Certificates and the number of
Warrants evidenced by each such Warrant Certificate. FPB may deem and treat the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof and of the Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing thereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise of such Warrants and for all other purposes, and FPB shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

Section 6.    Registration of Transfers and Exchanges; Transfer Restriction. FPB, through its
“Warrant Agent,” Registrar and Transfer Company, shall transfer from time to time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such
Warrants, with the Form of Assignment duly filled in and executed, to the Warrant Agent, at its office in Cranford, New Jersey at any time prior to the Expiration Date. Upon receipt of a Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Assignment duly
completed and executed, the Warrant Agent shall promptly deliver a Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing an equal aggregate full number of Warrants to the transferee; provided, however, in case the registered holder of any Warrant
Certificate shall elect to transfer fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent in addition shall promptly deliver to such registered holder a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates for the full number of
Warrants not so transferred. The Warrant Agent shall serve, and be replaced, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Agreement by and between FPB and the Warrant Agent. 

Subject to Section 8 hereof, any Warrant Certificate or Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof for
Warrant Certificates of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate or Certificates, with the Form of Assignment duly completed and executed, on or
prior to the Expiration Date. 
 Section 7.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Warrant
Certificates. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and receipt by the Warrant Agent of an Indemnity Bond reasonably
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, and reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall deliver a new Warrant Certificate
of like tenor representing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants. 

 Section 8.    Payment of Taxes. FPB shall not be
required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant or any certificates for shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant or Warrant
Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and FPB shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant or certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to FPB the amount of such
tax if any, or shall have established to the satisfaction of FPB that such tax if required, has been paid. 

Section 9.    Exercise, Purchase Price and Duration of Warrants. Subject to the provisions of this
Plan, the holder of a Warrant shall have the right to purchase from FPB (and FPB shall issue and sell to that holder), one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock for each Warrant at the initial exercise price of
$        per share (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereof), upon the surrender of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant on any business day prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date,
with the Form of Election to Exercise on the reverse thereof duly completed and executed, and payment of the Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America in cash or by cashiers’ or certified check payable to FPB. The exercise
price and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the manner specified in Section 11 and, as initially established or as so adjusted, are referred to herein as the
“Exercise Price” and the “Shares,” respectively. The Warrants shall be so exercisable either as an entirety or from time to time in part at the election of the registered holder thereof. In the event that fewer than all Warrants
evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Expiration Date a new Warrant Certificate will be issued for the Warrants not so exercised. 

No payments or adjustments shall be made for any cash dividends, whether paid or declared, on Shares issuable on the exercise of a
Warrant. 
 No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of a Warrant, but, in lieu thereof, there shall
be paid to the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant or other person designated on the Form of Election to Exercise as soon as practicable after date of surrender, an amount in cash equal to the fraction of the current
market value of a share of Common Stock equal to the fraction of a share to which such Warrant related. For such purpose, the current market value of a share of Common Stock shall be the book value of the Common Stock as of the last day of the month
immediately preceding the date of the Election to Exercise. 
 Subject to Section 8 hereof, upon surrender of a Warrant
Certificate, with the Form of Election to Exercise duly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price, FPB shall issue and deliver the full number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants tendered for exercise. Shares
shall be deemed to have been issued, and any person so designated by the registered holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of a Share, as of the date of the surrender of the Warrant Certificate to which the Share relates and
payment of the appropriate Exercise Price; provided, however, if the date of surrender of a Warrant Certificate shall occur within any period during which the transfer books for FPB’s Common Stock are closed for any purpose, such person
shall not be deemed to have become a holder of record of a Share until the opening of business on the day of reopening said transfer books, and certificates representing such Shares shall not be issuable until such day. 

 If we do not maintain a current and effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933 covering the warrants and the underlying shares of common stock, the warrants may expire unexercised on their expiration date. Under no circumstances shall a warrant holder be entitled to (a) net-cash settlement of a warrant or the
underling shares of common stock, regardless of whether any or all of the securities have been registered by us pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (b) receive any damages if any or all of the securities have not been registered
by us pursuant to an effective registration statement. A warrant holder will not be entitled to exercise warrants unless a registration statement covering the securities is effective or an exemption from registration is available. We will use our
best efforts to maintain such a registration statement throughout the term of the Warrants. 

Section 10.    Reservation of Shares. FPB will at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Shares upon exercise of Warrants, through the close of business on the Expiration Date, the number
of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. 
 FPB covenants that all Shares issued upon exercise of
the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be fully paid and non-assessable. 

Section 11.    Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Purchasable. The Exercise Price
and the number of Shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence, after the date hereof, if FPB shall: (i) declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares
of common stock; (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for
that dividend or on the effective date of that subdivision or combination, and/or the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on that date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant exercised after such time
shall be entitled to receive solely the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to that date, such holder would have owned upon exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue
of that dividend, subdivision, or combination. The foregoing adjustments shall be made by FPB successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. 

Section 12.    Notices to Warrant Holders. Upon any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to
Section 11 hereof, FPB within twenty calendar days thereafter shall cause to be given to the registered holders of outstanding Warrant Certificates at their respective addresses appearing on the Warrant Certificate register written notice of
the adjustments by first-class mail, postage prepaid. 
 Section 13.    Supplements and
Amendments. FPB may from time to time supplement or amend this Plan without the consent or concurrence of or notice to any holders of Warrant Certificates or Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision
herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, to correct any defective provision, clerical omission, mistake or manifest error herein contained, or to make any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Warrant Certificates; provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants. Other amendments to
this Plan may be approved by a vote of the holders of a majority of FPB’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. 

 Section 14.    Governing Law. This Plan and
each Warrant Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Florida and for all purposes shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of said State. 

Section 15.    Benefits of this Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to give to any
person or corporation other than FPB and the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Plan; this Plan shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of FPB and the registered
holders of the Warrant Certificates. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate, shall not be entitled to vote on or be deemed the holder of Common Stock of FPB which may at any time be
issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, and nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant Certificate, any of the rights of a stockholder of FPB or any right to vote for the election of directors
or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no
par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise.

 Summary of Terms of Warrant Plan 

The Warrant Plan provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events, the initial exercise prices set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate may,
subject to specified conditions, be adjusted (such exercise price, as initially established or as adjusted from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Exercise Price”). If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Warrant Plan provides that
the number of shares which can be purchased upon the exercise of each Warrant represented by this Warrant Certificate are subject to adjustment. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be exercisable until 5:00 p.m. on the
Expiration Date. 
 In the event that upon any exercise the number of Warrants exercised shall be fewer than the total number of Warrants
represented hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants not so exercised. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares or any certificates which evidence
fractional shares. In lieu of a fractional share, if any, there shall be paid to the registered holder of a Warrant with regard to which the fractional share would be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value
(as determined pursuant to the Warrant Plan) of a share. 
 No payment or adjustment will be made for any cash dividends, whether paid or
declared, on any shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall not be entitled to vote on or be deemed the holder of Common Stock of the
Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose. 
 The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of
this Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner hereof and of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone) for the purposes of any exercise of such Warrants
and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate
with the form of Assignment below duly completed and executed, a new Warrant Certificate representing the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate will be issued to the transferee; provided, however, that if the registered holder of
this Warrant Certificate elects to transfer fewer than all Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate for the Warrants not so transferred will be issued to such registered holder. This Warrant Certificate, together
with other Warrant Certificates, may be exchanged by the registered holder for another Warrant Certificate or Certificates of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate Warrants equal in number to the same full number
of Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and any other Warrant Certificate so exchanged. 
 We will only issue shares of common stock
pursuant to the exercise of warrants if, at the time of exercise, we have an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will use our best efforts to maintain such a registration statement throughout the
term of the warrants.

All Securities of one Series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a Series may be reopened
for issuances of additional Securities of such Series pursuant to an Authorizing Resolution, an Officers’ Certificate or in any indenture supplemental hereto. 

The creation and issuance of a Series and the authentication and delivery thereof are not subject to any conditions
precedent. 
  

	Section 2.02.	Execution and Authentication. 

One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. Each Guarantor shall execute the
Guarantee in the manner set forth in Section 9.07. 
 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 nevertheless be valid. 

A Security shall not be valid until 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 Base Indenture. 

The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the
Company. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  

	Section 2.03.	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or where
Securities of a Series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an
office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange (the “Security
Register”). The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. 

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. The
agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Securities
Register at all reasonable times to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon such register as to the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and

 - 9 - 

 

 
certificate numbers thereof. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent. 

 

	Section 2.04.	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders and the Trustee all money held by the Paying
Agent for the payment of principal of or 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 Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and hold it
as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. 

 

	Section 2.05.	Securityholder 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 Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days before each semiannual 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 Securityholders. 
  

	Section 2.06.	Transfer and Exchange. 

Where a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar
shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the NYUCC are met and the other provisions of this Section 2.06 are satisfied. Where Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-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 transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Security selected for redemption or repurchase, except the unredeemed or repurchased part thereof if the Security is redeemed or repurchased in
part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or repurchased. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto except in the case of exchanges pursuant to 2.09, 3.06, or 10.05 not involving any transfer. 

Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial
interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a
book entry. 
  

	Section 2.07.	Replacement Securities. 

If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken, the Company
shall issue and execute a replacement security, the Guarantors shall execute the related Guarantee and, upon written request of any Officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate such replacement Security, provided, in the case of a
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security, that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the NYUCC are met. If any such lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken Security shall have matured or shall be about to mature, the Company may,
instead of issuing a substitute Security therefor, pay such Security without requiring (except in the case of a mutilated Security) the surrender thereof. An indemnity bond must be sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect
the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, including the acquisition of such Security by a bona fide purchaser. The Company and the Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a
Security.

	Section 2.08.	Outstanding Securities. 

Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it and
those described in this Section. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, any Guarantor or one of their Affiliates holds the Security. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives
proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a “protected purchaser” (as such term is defined in the NYUCC). 

If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date, purchase date or maturity date money sufficient to pay Securities payable
on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

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

 

	Section 2.09.	Temporary Securities. 

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee 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. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and, upon
surrender for cancellation of the temporary Security, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  

	Section 2.10.	Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall
forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy, or retain in accordance with its standard retention policy, all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase, payment or cancellation. Unless the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture so provides, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities
that it has previously paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

	Section 2.11.	Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities of any Series, it shall pay the defaulted interest
plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest to the persons who are Securityholders of such Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such special record date and a payment date which shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 15 days before such special record date, the Company shall mail to each Securityholder of the relevant Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be
paid. On or before the date such notice is mailed, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the amount of defaulted interest to be so paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner if, after
notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  

	Section 2.12.	Treasury Securities. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any
direction, waiver, consent or notice, Securities owned by the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of

 - 11 - 

 

 
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered.

  

	Section 2.13.	CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities of any Series may use a “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” or other similar
number, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders of such Securities; provided that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the
Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number printed in the notice or on such Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities. The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in any CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number. 
  

	Section 2.14.	Deposit of Moneys. 

Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each interest payment date and maturity date with respect to each Series of
Securities, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money in the applicable currency sufficient to make cash payments due on such interest payment date or maturity date, as the case may be, in a timely
manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders of such Series on such interest payment date or maturity date, as the case may be. 
  

	Section 2.15.	Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security. 

(a)            Any Global Security of a Series initially shall
(i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear any required legends. 

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

(b)            Transfers of any Global Security shall be
limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Security may be transferred or exchanged for Definitive Securities in accordance with the
rules and procedures of the Depositary. In addition, Definitive Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has
received a request from the Depositary to issue Definitive Securities. 

(c)            In connection with any transfer or exchange of
a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Definitive Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease
in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Company and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, one or more Definitive Securities of like Series and amount. 

(d)            In connection with the transfer of an entire
Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, to each beneficial owner 

 - 12 - 

 

 
identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities of the same Series in authorized
denominations. 
 (e)            The Holder of any
Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities of
such Series. 
 (f)            Unless otherwise
provided in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture for a particular Series of Securities, each Global Security of such Series shall bear legends in substantially the following forms: 

“THIS GLOBAL SECURITY IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS SECURITY)
OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOLDERS OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE ANY SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO
THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL
SECURITY MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.” 

“UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS
SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR TO ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR
DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS
REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF ANY ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO SUCH ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER
USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 

ARTICLE THREE 

REDEMPTION 
  

	Section 3.01.	Notices to Trustee. 

Securities of a Series that are redeemable prior to maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and,
unless the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture provides otherwise, in accordance with this Article Three. 

If the Company wants to redeem Securities pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to Holders. Any such cancelled notice shall be void and of no
effect. 
 If the Company wants to credit any Securities previously redeemed, retired or acquired against any
redemption pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the amount of the credit and it shall deliver any Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation with such notice. 

 - 13 - 

 

 The Company shall give each notice provided for in this
Section 3.01 at least 30 days before the notice of any such redemption is to be mailed to Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). 

 

	Section 3.02.	Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 

If fewer than all of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed
by a method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate and in a manner that complies with applicable requirements of the Depositary. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities outstanding not previously called for redemption and shall
promptly notify the Company of the serial numbers or other identifying attributes of the Securities so selected. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than the minimum
denomination for the Series. Securities and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts equal to a permissible denomination for the Series. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of
Securities called for redemption. 
 Unless otherwise provided in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental
indenture relating to a Series, if any Security selected for partial redemption is converted into or exchanged for Common Stock or other securities, cash or other property in part before termination of the conversion or exchange right with respect
to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be
redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
  

	Section 3.03.	Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities to
be redeemed and shall state: 
  

	 	(1)	 the redemption date; 

  

	 	(2)	 the redemption price or the formula pursuant to which such price will be calculated; 

 

	 	(3)	 if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date,
upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Security; 

 

	 	(4)	 in the case of Securities of a Series that are convertible or exchangeable into shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities, cash
or other property, the conversion or exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities of such Series to be redeemed will commence or terminate and the place or places where such
Securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange; 

  

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

  

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

 

	 	(7)	 that interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and 

 

	 	(8)	 that the Securities are being redeemed pursuant to the mandatory redemption or the optional redemption provisions, as applicable.

 - 14 - 

 

 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is to be mailed or such shorter period as may
be satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

 

	Section 3.04.	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at
the redemption price as set forth in the notice of redemption. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. 

 

	Section 3.05.	Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent immediately available funds in the
applicable currency sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 
  

	Section 3.06.	Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate for each Holder a new Security of the same Series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 

ARTICLE FOUR 

COVENANTS 
  

	Section 4.01.	Payment of Securities. 

The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on a Series on the dates, in the currency and in the manner provided
in the Securities of the Series. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Paying Agent holds on that date money in the applicable currency designated for and sufficient to pay the installment.

 The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Series; it shall pay interest on
overdue installments of interest at the same rate. 
  

	Section 4.02.	Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain the office or agency required under Section 2.03. The Company shall give prior
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee. 
  

	Section 4.03.	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 whether or not the signers know of any continuing Default by the Company in performing any of its obligations under this Indenture. If they do know of such a Default, the certificate shall describe the Default.

 - 15 - 

 

	Section 4.04.	Payment of Taxes; Maintenance of Corporate Existence; Maintenance of Properties. 

The Company will: 

(a)            cause to be paid and discharged all lawful
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or upon the income or profits of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or upon Property or any part thereof belonging to the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries before the same shall be in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon such Property or any part thereof; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the
nonpayment thereof does not, in the judgment of the Company, materially adversely affect the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to pay all obligations under this Indenture when due; and provided further that the Company shall not be
required to cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if, in the judgment of the Company, such payment shall not be advantageous to the Company in the conduct of its business and if the failure so to pay or
discharge does not, in its judgment, materially adversely affect the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to pay all obligations under this Indenture when due; 

(b)            cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of the Company and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and to comply with all applicable laws; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (b) shall
prevent a consolidation or merger of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not prohibited by the provisions of Article Five, Article Nine or any other provision of this Indenture pertaining to a Series, and the Company may
discontinue the corporate existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, or fail to comply with any such applicable laws, if, in the Company’s judgment, such discontinuance or non-compliance does not materially adversely affect the ability of the
Company and the Guarantors to pay all obligations under this Indenture when due; and 

(c)            at all times keep, maintain and preserve all
the Property of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in good repair, working order and condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereto, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (c) shall prevent the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any such properties if such discontinuance, in the judgment of the Company, does not materially adversely affect the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to pay all
obligations under this Indenture when due. 
  

	Section 4.05.	Additional Guarantors. 

If (a) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor shall guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company, or
(b) the Company elects to add any Restricted Subsidiary as a Guarantor, then such Restricted Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such
Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of each Series (other than a Series that, pursuant to the applicable supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolution, does not have the
benefit of Guarantees of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company) and under this Indenture (as it relates to all such Series) on the terms set forth in this Indenture. Thereafter, such Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this
Indenture (as it relates to all such Series) until it is released from its obligations as a Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture. 
  

	Section 4.06.	Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. 

The Company and the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist
upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or any Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal
of or interest on the Securities of any Series as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
the Company and each of the Guarantors expressly 

 - 16 - 

 

 
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 

SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 
  

	Section 5.01.	When Company May Merge, etc. 

Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets (including by way of liquidation or dissolution), to any Person (in each case other than in a transaction in which the Company or a Guarantor is the survivor of a consolidation or merger, or the transferee in a sale,
lease, conveyance or other disposition) unless: 

(1)            the Person formed by or
surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be), or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition will be made (collectively, the “Successor”), is a corporation or
other legal entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor assumes by supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee all of the
obligations of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Securities or a Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Indenture, and 

(2)            immediately after giving effect
to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 The foregoing provisions shall not apply
to: 
 (A)            the
consolidation or merger of a Guarantor, or the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, which under the provisions of Section 9.03 or the other provisions of this Indenture,
results in such Guarantor being released from its Guarantee or the Successor not being required to become a Guarantor, as the case may be, or 

(B)            a transaction the purpose of
which is to change the state of incorporation of the Company or any Guarantor. 
 Upon any such consolidation,
merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the Successor will be substituted for the Company or the relevant Guarantor under the Indenture. The Successor may then exercise every power and right of the Company or the relevant Guarantor
under this Indenture, and except in the case of a lease, the Company or the relevant Guarantor will be released from all of its liabilities and obligations in respect of the Securities, the Guarantee and the Indenture. If the Company or a Guarantor
leases all or substantially all of its assets the Company or such Guarantor will not be released from its obligations to pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities or the Guarantee, as applicable. 

ARTICLE SIX 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  

	Section 6.01.	Events of Default. 

An “Event of Default” on a Series occurs if, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, any
of the following occurs: 

 - 17 - 

 

	 	(1)	 the failure by the Company to pay interest on any Security of such Series when the same becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such
failure for a period of 30 days; 

  

	 	(2)	 the failure by the Company to pay the principal of any Security of such Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration,
redemption or otherwise; 

  

	 	(3)	 the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any of its agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Securities of
such Series, the Guarantees (as they relate thereto) or this Indenture (as they relate thereto) and such failure continues for the period and after the notice specified below (except in the case of a default with respect to Article Five (or
any other provision specified in the applicable supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolution), which will constitute Events of Default with notice but without passage of time); 

 

	 	(4)	 default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness
(other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now
exists or is created after the Issue Date, if that default: 

  

	 	(A)	 is caused by a failure to pay at final stated maturity the principal amount of such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period
provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 

  

	 	(B)	 results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such
Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50 million or more; 
  

	 	(5)	 failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments which are non-appealable aggregating in excess of $50 million,
net of applicable insurance which has not been denied in writing by the insurer, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; 

 

	 	(6)	 the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

  

	 	(A)	 commences a voluntary case, 

  

	 	(B)	 consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

 

	 	(C)	 consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its Property, or 

 

	 	(D)	 makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

 

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

 

	 	(A)	 is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case,

  

	 	(B)	 appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the
Property of the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or 

 - 18 - 

 

	 	(C)	 orders the liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 

 

	 	(8)	 any Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such
Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and the Guarantee). 

 A Default as described in subclause
(3) above will not be deemed an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable Series notify the Company and the
Trustee, of the Default and (except in the case of a default with respect to Article Five (or any other provision specified in the applicable supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolution)) the Company does not cure the Default within 60
days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” If such a Default is cured within such time period, it ceases to exist, without any
action by the Trustee or any other Person. 
 The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee,
assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

	Section 6.02.	Acceleration. 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company resulting from subclause
(6) or (7) above), shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series then
outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all Securities of such Series to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series will be due and
payable immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in subclauses (6) or (7) above occurs, all amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series will ipso facto become and be immediately
due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee and the Company or any Holder. 

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series may rescind an acceleration
with respect to such Series and its consequence (except an acceleration due to nonpayment of principal or interest) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (other than the non-payment of
accelerated principal) have been cured or waived. 
 No such rescission shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent Event of Default, or shall impair any right or power consequent thereon. 
  

	Section 6.03.	Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default on a Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at
law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Series or to enforce the performance of any provision in the Securities or this Indenture applicable to the Series. 

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 Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.
No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 

 - 19 - 

 

	Section 6.04.	Waiver of Existing Defaults. 

Subject to Section 10.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a
Series on behalf of all the Holders of the Series by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default on such Series and its consequences. When a Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	Section 6.05.	Control by Majority. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series may direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to such Series. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction (i) that conflicts with law or
this Indenture, (ii) that, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders, (iii) that would involve the Trustee in personal liability, if there shall be reasonable
grounds for believing that adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it, or (iv) if the Trustee shall not have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it. 

 

	Section 6.06.	Limitation on Suits. 

A Securityholder of a Series may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Series unless: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default on the Series;

Securities of the same Series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities of the same Series. 
  

	Section 6.07.	Rights of 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 any Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of the Holder. 
  

	Section 6.08.	Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.01(1) or
(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid.

	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 the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, any
Guarantor or their respective creditors or Property, and unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a Custodian, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys or
other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder except as aforesaid for the election of the Custodian.

 First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

  

	 	Second:	  to Securityholders of the Series for amounts due and unpaid on the Series for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Series for principal and interest, respectively; and 

Third: to the Company or the Guarantors as their interests may appear. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
  

	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, against any party litigant in the suit, having the 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 Series.

TRUSTEE 
  

	Section 7.01.	Duties of Trustee. 

(a)            If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the Series, exercise its rights and powers and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(b)            Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default: 
 (1)            The Trustee need perform
only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 

 - 21 - 

 

(2)            In the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee,
however, shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts or matters stated
therein. 
 (c)            The Trustee may not be
relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(1)            This paragraph does not limit the effect of
paragraph (b) of this Section. 

(2)            The Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 

(3)            The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 or any other direction of the Holders permitted hereunder.

exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(f)            The Trustee shall not be liable for interest
on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(g)            None of the provisions contained in this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing
that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  

	Section 7.02.	Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to Section 7.01: 

(a)            The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting on any document, resolution, certificate, instrument, report, or direction believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter
stated in the document, resolution, certificate, instrument, report, or direction. 

(b)            Before the Trustee acts or refrains from
acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, which shall conform to Sections 12.04 and 12.05 hereof and containing such other statements as the Trustee reasonably deems necessary to perform its
duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or any other direction of the Company permitted hereunder. 

(c)            The Trustee may act through agents and shall

taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 

 - 22 - 

 

(e)            The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the
written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection 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)            Unless
otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or a Guarantor shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or a Guarantor. 

(g)            For all purposes under this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default (other than under Section 6.01(1) or 6.01(2)) unless a Trust Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee’s corporate trust office has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any Event of Default is received by the Trustee at its address specified in Section 12.02 hereof and such notice references the Securities generally, the Company or this Indenture.

  

	Section 7.03.	Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with the Company or any Guarantor or their affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

 

	Section 7.04.	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities or of any prospectus
used to sell the Securities of any Series; it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; it shall not be accountable for any money paid to the Company, or upon the Company’s direction, if made under
and in accordance with any provision of this Indenture; it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company or any
Guarantor in this Indenture or in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication. 
  

	Section 7.05.	Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default on a Series occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder of the Series notice of the Default (which shall specify any uncured Default known to it) within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on a Series, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as the board of directors of the Trustee, the executive or any trust committee of such directors and/or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determine(s) that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders
of the Series. 
  

	Section 7.06.	Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Base Indenture, the
Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(1) through (8) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting
date no report in relation thereto need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be delivered to the Company and filed by the
Trustee with the SEC and each national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee of each national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed. 

 

	Section 7.07.	Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for their respective services subject to
any written agreement between the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the

 - 23 - 

 

 
reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents and hold it harmless against
any loss, liability or expense incurred or made by or on behalf of it in connection with the administration of this Indenture or the trust hereunder and its duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or
investigating any claim in the premises. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee
through the Trustee’s, or its officers’, directors’, employees’ or agents’ negligence or bad faith. 

Unless otherwise provided in any supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolution relating to any Series, to ensure the
Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities of all Series on all money or Property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of or interest on
particular Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 or in connection with Article Six hereof, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for services in connection therewith are to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

	Section 7.08.	Replacement of Trustee. 

The Trustee may resign with respect to Securities of any or all Series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities (or of the relevant Series) may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company’s consent. Such resignation or
removal shall not take effect until the appointment by the Securityholders of the relevant Series or the Company as hereinafter provided of a successor trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor trustee. The Company may remove
the Trustee and any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee for any or no reason, including if: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 after written request by the Company or any bona fide Securityholder who has been a
Securityholder for at least six months; 

  

	 	(2)	 the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 

 

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

 

	 	(4)	 the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of the relevant Series. If a successor trustee does not take office within 45 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or any Holder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. 
 A successor
trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all Property held by it as Trustee to the successor trustee, 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. A successor trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder.

  

	Section 7.09.	Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges with or into or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor trustee.

 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
  

	Section 8.01.	Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or Government Obligations. 

(a)            The Company may, at its option and at any time,
elect to have either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below be applied to the outstanding Securities of any Series upon compliance with the applicable conditions set forth in paragraph (d). 

(b)            Upon the Company’s exercise under
paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (b) with respect to any Series, the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from their respective obligations with respect to
the outstanding Securities of the Series on the date the applicable conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of a Series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of the Sections and matters under this Indenture referred to in
(i) and (ii) below, and the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned, except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of a Series to receive solely from the trust fund described in paragraph (d) below and as more fully set forth in such
paragraph, payments in respect of the principal of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due and (ii) obligations listed in Section 8.02, subject to compliance with this Section 8.01. The Company may
exercise its option under this paragraph (b) with respect to a Series notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under paragraph (c) below with respect to the Securities of the Series. 

(c)            Upon the Company’s exercise under
paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (c) with respect to a Series, the Company and the Guarantors shall be released and discharged from the obligations under any covenant contained in Article Five
and Sections 4.04 (but only to the extent it applies to Restricted Subsidiaries), 4.05 and any other covenant contained in or referenced in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such Series (to the extent
such release and discharge shall not be prohibited thereby), on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such Series shall thereafter be deemed to be
not “outstanding” for the purpose of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all
other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01(3) or otherwise, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

(d)            The following shall be the conditions to
application of either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) above to the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series: 

 - 25 - 

 

(1)            The Company shall have
irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee (or another qualifying trustee), pursuant to an irrevocable trust and security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, money in the currency in which the Securities of
such Series are payable or Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of and interest on
the outstanding Securities of such Series to maturity or redemption; provided, however, that the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) shall have received an irrevocable written order from the Company instructing the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee) to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Securities of such Series to maturity or redemption; 

(2)            No Default or Event of Default
(other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from non-compliance with any covenant from which the Company and the Guarantors are released upon effectiveness of such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) hereof, as applicable) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or result therefrom; 

(3)            Such deposit will not result in
a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of their Property is bound; 

(4)            (i) In the event the Company
elects paragraph (b) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that (A) the Company has received from, or
there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date pertaining to such Series, 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 state that, or (ii) in the event the Company elects paragraph (c) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and
defeasance had not occurred; 

(5)            The Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that the deposit under clause (1) was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the
Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or any Guarantor or others; 

(6)            the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and qualifications) to the effect that, assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Company or any Guarantor between the date of deposit and the
123rd day following the deposit and assuming that no
Holder is an “insider” of the Company under applicable Bankruptcy Law, after the
123rd day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not
be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any analogous New York State law provision; and 

(7)            The Company has delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 8.01 have been complied with. 

In the event all or any portion of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the
Company must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

(e)            In addition to the Company’s rights above
under this Section 8.01, the Company may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to a Series, and the obligations of the Guarantors shall terminate with respect to such Series (subject to
Section 8.02), when: 

 - 26 - 

 

(1)            All Securities of such Series
theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 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 all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, (B) will become due and payable at maturity within one year or (C) 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 in each such case, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another qualifying trustee) as trust funds in trust
solely for that purpose an amount of money in the currency in which the Securities of such Series are payable or Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities of such Series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series, on the date of such deposit or to
the maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; 

(2)            The Company has paid or caused
to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; 

(3)            The Company has delivered
irrevocable instructions to the Trustee (or such other qualifying trustee), to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities of such Series at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and 

(4)            The Company has delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent specified in this Section 8.01(e) relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

  

	Section 8.02.	Survival of the Company’s Obligations. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture under Section 8.01, the Company’s
obligations in Paragraph 8 of the Securities and Sections 2.03 through 2.07, 4.01, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04 and 8.05, however, shall survive until the Securities of an applicable Series are no longer
outstanding. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Paragraph 8 of the Securities of such Series and Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive (as they relate to such Series). 

 

	Section 8.03.	Application of Trust Money. 

The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01. It
shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of the defeased Series. 

 

	Section 8.04.	Repayment to the Company. 

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by
them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each such Holder notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company,
Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company or any Guarantor for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another person and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such money shall cease. 

 - 27 - 

 

	Section 8.05.	Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01 by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities relating to the Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that (a) if the Company or any Guarantor has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities of the Series because of the reinstatement of its
obligations hereunder, the Company or Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee and (b) unless otherwise required by any
legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee shall return all such money or Government Obligations to the Company promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement
of the Company’s or Guarantor’s obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.

 GUARANTEES 
  

	Section 9.01.	Unconditional Guarantees. 

Subject to any other provisions set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to a
particular Series, each Guarantor unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees (each such guarantee to be referred to herein as the “Guarantee”) to each Holder of Securities of such Series authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest of the Securities of such Series and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, except obligations
to pay principal of and interest on any other Series not so guaranteed, will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Securities of such Series or of any such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 9.04. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities of such Series or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities of such Series with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that, subject to Section 9.03, this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities of the applicable Series, this Indenture and in this Guarantee. If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any
Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

	Section 9.02.	Severability. 

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

	Section 9.03.	Release of a Guarantor. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in the event of (i) the sale or other disposition of
Capital Stock of any Guarantor if as a result of such disposition, such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor (other than to the
Company or another Guarantor), (iii) a merger or consolidation of a Guarantor with a Person other than the Company or another Guarantor, (iv) a Guarantor ceasing to guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company, or (v) the designation of
a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, then such Guarantor (in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) above) will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations
under this Article Nine, the other provisions of this Indenture and the Securities and the Person acquiring such assets (in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above) shall not be required to assume the Guarantor’s obligations
under this Article Nine, the other provisions of this Indenture and the Securities or otherwise become a Guarantor, in each case without any further action required on the part of the Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any Guarantor;
provided that such sale, disposition or other transaction is otherwise in compliance with this Indenture. 

Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor
with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially assets of a Guarantor to the Company or another Guarantor. Upon any such consolidation, merger, or disposition,
the Guarantee given by such Guarantor shall no longer have any force or effect. 
 The Trustee shall deliver an
appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 9.03. 

Any Guarantor not released in accordance with this Section 9.03 remains liable for the full amount of
principal of and interest on the Securities as provided in this Article Nine, except as provided in Article Eight. 
  

	Section 9.04.	Limitation of a Guarantor’s Liability. 

Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state
law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and
fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to
Section 9.05, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  

	Section 9.05.	Contribution. 

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the
event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under the Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted
Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to any Securities or any other Guarantor’s
obligations with respect to its Guarantee. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the Property of such

 - 29 - 

 

 
Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after
giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Guarantor in respect of the obligations of its Guarantee), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the present fair salable value of
the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and
after giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Company in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

  

	Section 9.06.	Waiver of Subrogation. 

Until all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture and with respect to all Securities of an applicable Series are paid
in full, each Guarantor irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the
Guarantee and this Indenture, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Securities of the applicable Series against the Company, whether or
not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other Property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or
security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Securities of the applicable Series shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed
to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Securities of the applicable Series, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and
applied upon the Securities of the applicable Series, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 9.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
  

	Section 9.07.	Execution of Guarantee. 

To evidence their guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article Nine with respect to any Series, the Guarantors shall
execute the Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit A or in any such other form set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to the applicable Series, which shall be endorsed on each Security
ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article Nine shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such
Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by one Officer (who shall, in each case, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other actions) shall attest to such Guarantee prior to the authentication of
the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signature upon the Guarantee may be
by manual or facsimile signature of such officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Security on which such
Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased
to be such officer of the Guarantor. 
 ARTICLE TEN 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
  

	Section 10.01.	Without Consent of Holders. 

The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of a Series without
notice to or consent of any Securityholder of such Series: 

(1)            to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency; 

 - 30 - 

 

(2)            to comply with Article
Five; 
 (3)            to
provide that specific provisions of this Indenture shall not apply to a Series not previously issued or to make a change to specific provisions of this Indenture that only applies to any Series not previously issued or to additional Securities of a
Series not previously issued; 

(4)            to create a Series and
establish its terms; 

(5)            to provide for uncertificated
Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 

(6)            to release a Guarantor in
respect of any Series which, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture applicable to the particular Series, ceases to be liable in respect of its Guarantee; 

(7)            to add a Guarantor in respect
of any Series; 
 (8) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; and 

(9)            to make any other change that
does not adversely affect the rights of Securityholders. 
 After an amendment under this
Section 10.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail notice of such amendment to the Securityholders. 
  

	Section 10.02.	With Consent of Holders. 

The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of a Series without
notice to any Securityholder of such Series but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by the amendment (including consents obtained in connection with
a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities of such Series). Each such Series shall vote as a separate class. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may waive compliance by the
Company with any provision of the Securities of such Series or of this Indenture relating to such Series without notice to any Securityholder (including any waiver granted in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for,
Securities of such Series). Without the consent of each Holder of a Security affected thereby, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not: 

 

	 	(1)	 reduce the amount of Securities of the relevant Series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

  

	 	(2)	 reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Security; 

 

	 	(3)	 reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or alter the provisions (including related definitions) with respect to
redemption of any Security pursuant to Article Three hereof or with respect to any obligations on the part of the Company to offer to purchase or to redeem Securities of a Series pursuant to the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental
indenture pertaining to such Series; 

  

	 	(4)	 make any change that adversely affects any right of a Holder to convert or exchange any Security into or for shares of the Company’s common
stock or other securities, cash or other property in accordance with the terms of such Security; 

  

	 	(5)	 modify the ranking or priority of the Securities of the relevant Series or any Guarantee thereof; 

 - 31 - 

 

	 	(6)	 release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture; 

  

	 	(7)	 make any change in Sections 6.04, 6.07 or this Section 10.02; 

 

	 	(8)	 waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security; or 

 

	 	(9)	 make any Security payable at a place or in money other than that stated in the Security, or impair the right of any Securityholder to bring suit as
permitted by Section 6.07. 

 An amendment of a provision included solely for the
benefit of one or more Series does not affect the interests of Securityholders of any other Series. 
 It shall
not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

 

	Section 10.03.	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or any Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

  

	Section 10.04.	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a
Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. Unless otherwise provided in the consent or the consent solicitation statement or
other document describing the terms of the consent, any Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security. Any revocation of a consent by the Holder of a Security or any such subsequent Holder shall be
effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate from the Company certifying that the requisite number of consents have been received. 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Securities of any Series entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be at least 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, and if Holders otherwise have a right to
revoke their consent under the consent or the consent solicitation statement or other document describing the terms of the consent, then notwithstanding the second to last sentence of 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 revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be
valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. 
 An amendment, supplement or waiver with
respect to a Series becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of the requisite consents, (ii) satisfaction of any conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto
containing such amendment, supplement or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver (or the related supplemental indenture) by the Company and the Trustee. After an amendment, supplement or waiver with respect to a
Series becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of such Series, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 10.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall
bind a Holder of a Security who is affected thereby only if it has consented to such amendment, supplement or waiver and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security; provided that no such waiver shall impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder. 

 - 32 - 

 

	Section 10.05.	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, at which time the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Security about 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. 
  

	Section 10.06.	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

Subject to Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to
this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver 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 or refusing to sign such amendment or
supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company and any Guarantors in accordance with its terms. 

ARTICLE ELEVEN 

SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the rights of, Holders of
Securities of any Series in which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to the contrary pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities
of any particular Series, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of
exchange and as of the record date with respect to Securities of such Series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such
action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee may determine.

 DUCOMMUN INCORPORATED 

[Title of Security] 

DUCOMMUN INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”),
issued this Security under an Indenture dated as of                     , (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in
accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of
                         (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the
“Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and
[                                ], as trustee (in such capacity, the
“Trustee”), to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authorized and delivered. All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them therein. 
  

	1.	Interest. 

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The
Company will pay interest semiannually on                              and
                             of each year, commencing
                    ,         , until the principal is paid or made available for payment.
Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from
                    ,         , provided that, if there is no existing default in the
payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment. 

The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special
payment date to Holders of record on such special record date as may be fixed by the Company) to the persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the [Insert record dates] immediately preceding the interest payment
date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of [Insert applicable country or currency] that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar. 

Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar. 
  

	4.	 Optional
Redemption.1 

The Company may redeem the Securities at any time on or after
                                        ,
in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of their principal amount) together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption: 

 

			
	If redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on
                     and ending on
                     in each of the following years	 	Percentage

 [Insert provisions
relating to redemption at option of Holders, if any] 
  

 
  

	1
	 If applicable. 

  

 A-2 

 Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. Securities in denominations larger than
