of the United States. 
 The Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other
and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined) of the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”): 
 ARTICLE 1 
 DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01. Definitions.

	 	(4)	Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary held by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall
entitle the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to not less than a pro rata portion of all dividends or other distributions made by such Subsidiary upon any of such Capital Stock; 

provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (2), (3) and (4), such Subsidiary is primarily engaged in a Related Business.

	 	(1)	the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights (including by way of a Production Payment or a sale and leaseback transaction); provided
that the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by Section 4.09 and/or Section 5.01 and not by the provisions
of Section 4.10; and 

	 	(2)	the issuance of Equity Interests in any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries (other than directors’ qualifying shares) or the sale of Equity Interests held
by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries in any of its Subsidiaries. 

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

	 	(1)	any single transaction or series of related transactions that involves assets having a Fair Market Value of less than $1.0 million; 

 

	 	(2)	a transfer of assets between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

	 	(4)	the sale, lease or other disposition of equipment, inventory, products, services, accounts receivable or other assets in the ordinary course of business, including in
connection with any compromise, settlement or collection of accounts receivable, and any sale or other disposition of damaged, worn-out or obsolete assets or assets that are no longer useful in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  

	 	(5)	the sale or other disposition of cash or Cash Equivalents;

other amount due under such lease prior to the first date upon which such lease may be prepaid by the lessee without payment of a penalty. 
 “Capital Stock” means: 
  

	 	(1)	in the case of a corporation, corporate stock; 

  

	 	(2)	in the case of an association or business entity, any and all shares, interests, participations, rights or other equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock;

  

	 	(3)	in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, partnership interests (whether general or limited) or membership interests; and 

 

	 	(4)	any other interest or participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing

hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in
excess thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of
this Indenture and the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture (or any indenture supplemental hereto), expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the

co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as
such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may not act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Issuer initially appoints The

Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent will have no further liability for the money. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee will preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at

a nominee of the Depositary, 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. All Global Notes
will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days

 Upon the occurrence of the preceding event in
(1) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee in writing. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A
Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c). 

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the

 (i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in
an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)
will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect
Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. 
 (d)
Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time.

exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.

 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and cancelled by
the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the
Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased
accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 (h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global
Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request. 
 (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 2.10,
Article 3 and Sections 4.09, 4.10 and 9.05). 
 (3) The Registrar will not be required to register the
transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be required: 
 (A) to
issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day
of selection; 
 (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) to register the transfer of or
to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 

  
 -28-

 (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note,
the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes,
and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7) The Trustee
will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02. 

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 Section 2.07.
Replacement Notes. 
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the
Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may
suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an
additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are
all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions, and those described in
this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under
Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the
Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease
to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes
owned by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, will be considered as though not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

  
 -29-

 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation. 
 The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to
the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration
of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer.
The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Issuer defaults in a payment of
interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each
such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon
the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will send or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.01. Optional Redemption. 

The Notes may be redeemed, at the option of the Issuer, in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the redemption date. 
 Section
3.02. Mandatory Redemption.

writing of (i) the Section of this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to which the redemption shall occur (including the relevant provision of the Notes), (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed
and (iv) the redemption price. The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, unless a shorter or longer period is acceptable to the Trustee. If
fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Issuer and given to the Trustee. Any such notice pursuant to Section 3.01 may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such
redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
 Section 3.04. Selection of Notes to Be
Redeemed. 
 Selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Registrar on a pro rata basis by lot to the extent
practicable; provided that no Notes of $1,000 principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. 
 Notwithstanding
anything else contained in this Section 3.04, the parties acknowledge and agree that any partial redemption of a Global Note will be made by the Depository among the Beneficial Owners in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Depository and that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with the selection of Beneficial Owners whose interest in the Global Security will be redeemed or any other actions taken by the Depository in connection therewith, and by
accepting the Notes, the Holders shall waive and release any and all such liability. 
 Section 3.05. Notice of
Redemption. 
 (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed. 
 Any such notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (A) the redemption date; 
 (B) the redemption price and the amount
of accrued interest to the redemption date; 
 (C) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(D) the provision of the Notes or this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption is occurring; 

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

(F) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the
particular Notes to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; 

(G) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such
payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

  
 -31-

 (H) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any,
printed on the Notes being redeemed; and 
 (I) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
of the CUSIP number or ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 (b)
At the Issuer’s request, the Registrar and each Paying Agent shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Registrar and each Paying Agent with the
information required by this Section 3.05 at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Registrar and Paying Agent) prior to the date such notice is to be provided to Holders in the final form such
notice is to be delivered to Holders. 
 Section 3.06. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.05, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the
redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final sentence of Section 5 of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the
redemption price stated in the notice; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed
Notes registered on the relevant Record Date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. 
 Section 3.07. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York
City time on each redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly
return to the Issuer any amount so deposited that is not required for that purpose, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article 7. 

Unless the Issuer fails to comply with the preceding paragraph and defaults in the payment of such redemption price, interest on the
Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. 
 Section 3.08. Notes Redeemed in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is
redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note
being redeemed or purchased in part in the name of the Holder thereof.

 COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. 

The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes.
Principal and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds
and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 
 The Issuer will pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in
any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section
4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 The Issuer will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the
Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with
Section 2.03. 
 Section 4.03. Reports. 
 (a) Regardless of whether required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will continue to file with the SEC for public availability, within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing, in which case the Issuer will comply with the requirements described in the next succeeding paragraph): 

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that are required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K; and

 (2) all current reports that are required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K. 

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such
reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Issuer’s consolidated financial statements by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants. Notwithstanding the above reporting requirements, the Issuer shall not be
required to disclose to the Trustee (or the Holders of the Notes) any materials for which it has sought and has received (or reasonably expects to receive) confidential treatment from the SEC. 

  
 -33-

 If the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, the
quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. 
 If at any time, the Issuer is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for
any reason, the Issuer will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in this Section 4.03(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified herein, unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Issuer will not take any action for
the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Issuer’s filings for any reason, the Issuer will post the reports required by this Section 4.03(a) on its website
within the time periods described above.

obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant
contained in this Indenture and the Security Documents and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture and the Security Documents (or, if a Default or Event of Default has
occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and
remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto.

 The Issuer will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate

 -34-

 Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted. 
 Section 4.07. Restricted Payments. 
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 
 (i) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment; and 

  
 -35-

 (ii) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all
other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2) through (8) and (11) of Section 4.07(b)), is equal to or less than the sum,

 The Fair Market Value of any cash Restricted Payment shall be its face amount, and the Fair Market Value of any non-cash Restricted Payment exceeding $2.5 million shall be determined conclusively by two
senior Officers of the Issuer acting in good faith whose conclusions with respect thereto shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the trustee; provided, however, that if the Fair Market Value of any non-cash
Restricted Payment exceeds $10.0 million, such Fair Market Value shall be determined conclusively by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and set forth in a board resolution, and a certified copy of such board resolution shall be delivered to the
Trustee. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in subclauses (1) through (11) of Section 4.07(b) or
is entitled to be made pursuant to Section 4.07(a), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify such Restricted Payment, or later classify, reclassify or re-divide all or a portion of such Restricted Payment, in any manner that complies
with this Section 4.07. 
 Section 4.08. Liens. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit
to exist any Lien to secure Indebtedness on any of its properties or assets, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens.

 Section 4.09. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each
Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to not less than 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to (but not including) the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being
made pursuant to this Section 4.09 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the
purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent ; 
 (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase”
attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of
business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased
only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof.

 The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions of this Section 4.09, or compliance with this Section 4.09 would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such compliance. 

  
 -39-

 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all
Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the
Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly mail or wire transfer to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes as directed by the Issuer in writing, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate upon an authentication order from the Issuer and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided
that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess of $1,000. Any Note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date unless the Issuer
defaults in making the Change of Control Payment. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.09 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.01, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control
Offer is made. 
 Section 4.10. Asset Sales. 
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 

(1) the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market
Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 
 (2) at least 75% of the
consideration received in respect of such Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or Equity Interests pursuant to (1) a customary
novation agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability therefor or (2) an assignment agreement that includes, in lieu of such a release, the agreement of the transferee or its parent company to
indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from and against any loss, liability or other cost in respect of such assumed liability; 

  
 -40-

 (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any
such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the date of the Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and 

(C) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in Section 4.10(b)(2). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% limitation referred to above shall be deemed satisfied with respect to any Asset Sale in which the
cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision on an after-tax basis, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale
complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation. 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale
or, if the Issuer has entered into a binding commitment or commitments with respect to any of the actions described in Section 4.10(b)(2) or (3), within the later of (x) 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or
(y) 180 days after the entering into of such commitment or commitments, the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds: 

 

	 	(1)	to repay Senior Debt; 

  

	 	(2)	to invest in Additional Assets; or 

  

	 	(3)	to make capital expenditures in respect of a Related Business of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

An amount equal to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in clauses (1) through
(3) above will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” 
 (c) Within ten Business Days after the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Issuer will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of Notes and all holders of Additional Permitted Pari Passu Obligations with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the
proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and Additional Permitted Pari Passu Obligations as may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Additional Permitted Pari Passu Obligations tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of
Excess Proceeds, the Issuer will use the Excess Proceeds to purchase the Notes and Additional Permitted Pari Passu Obligations on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by Section 4.09 and/or Section 5.01 of this Indenture and not by the provisions of this Section 4.10. 

  
 -41-

 (e) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, or compliance with this Section 4.10 would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations
and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (f) In the
event that, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.10, the Issuer is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of
Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations (other than Additional Notes) containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale Offer will
remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three
Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other Permitted Additional Pari Passu
Obligations (on a pro rata basis, with such adjustments as may be needed so that only Notes in minimum amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 will be purchased) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and such other
Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 

(g) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest
will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 

(h) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer will send a notice thereof to each of the Holders, with a copy to the
Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer
will remain open; 
 (2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $1.00 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only (except that no Note may be purchased in part to the extent the remaining portion of such
Note would be less than $1,000); 

  
 -42-

 (6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale
Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a
Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
 (7) that
Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth
the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

(8) that, except as provided above, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Permitted Additional Pari Passu
Obligations surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer will select the Notes and other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other
Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof will remain outstanding); and

 (9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to
the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 (i) On or before the Purchase Date,
the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary and consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions
thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.10. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase
Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request
from the Issuer, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be
promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. 
 (j) For purposes of this Section 4.10, any Additional Notes shall be deemed to be Notes and not Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations. 

Section 4.11. Business Activities. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Issuer. 

  
 -43-

 Section 4.12. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article 5, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

 (1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and 
 (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such
right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 Section 4.13. Payments for Consent. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or
agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

Section 4.14. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 If any Person becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, then that Domestic Restricted Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes and execute a supplemental indenture and Security
Documents, if applicable, deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate as to the authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of such supplemental indenture and Security Documents satisfactory to the Trustee (and, if
applicable, the Collateral Agent) within 20 Business Days after the date on which it becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and take all action required by the Security Documents to perfect the liens created thereunder. The Subsidiary Guarantee of
a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to constitute a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary. 
 Section 4.15. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would
not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Restricted Subsidiary designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or under one or more clauses of the definition of
“Permitted Investments”, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

  
 -44-

 Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be
evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding
conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of
this Indenture. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such
designation. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 SUCCESSORS 
 Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

surviving corporation), convert into another form of entity or continue in another jurisdiction; or (ii) directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets
of the Issuer, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless: 
 (1) either:

States or the District of Columbia; 
 (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such conversion, consolidation
or merger (if other than the Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to agreements reasonably

(3) immediately after such transaction or transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; 

(4) the Issuer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer), or to
which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would have Consolidated Net Worth immediately after the transaction equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of the Issuer immediately preceding the
transaction; and 
 (5) the Issuer will have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary assumptions and qualifications, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conversion, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, and, if a supplemental indenture is required in
connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with this Section 5.01 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been satisfied. 

  
 -45-

 For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer,
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Issuer, which properties and assets, if held by the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of
the properties and assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer. 
 Notwithstanding the restrictions described in Section 5.01(4), any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer, the
Issuer may merge into a Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction, and any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another
Restricted Subsidiary.

Upon any consolidation, amalgamation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or amalgamation or into or with which the
Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to “the Issuer” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to previous Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer
under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer herein; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be released from the obligations of Section 4.01 except in the case of a sale of all
of the Issuer’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with, this Section 5.01. 
 ARTICLE 6

Notes; 
 (3) failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01 or to consummate a
purchase of Notes when required pursuant to Sections 4.09 and 4.10;

to the extent not described in clause (3) above; 

  
 -46-

 (5) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days
after written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture or the Security Documents; 

(6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default: 
 (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (“Payment
Default”); or 
 (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its 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 $5.0 million or more; 
 (7) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or group of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the
Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $5.0 million (net of any amounts that a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability for in
writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; 
 (8) the Issuer or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case, application, petition, compromise, voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement,
moratorium, liquidation, administration, or receivership or other proceeding, 
 (B) consents to the entry of an

 (E) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or admits in writing
its inability to pay its debts as such debts become due or its directors or other officers request the appointment of, or give notice of their intention to appoint, a receiver, receiver manager, administrative receiver, administrator, liquidator or
other officer having similar powers over its property, or 

  
 -47-

 (F) is deemed for the purposes of any applicable law to be unable to pay its
debts as they fall due. 
 (9) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree (which order or decree remains
unstayed and in effect for more than 60 consecutive days) under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (A) is for relief
against the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, application,
petition or other proceeding; 
 (B) appoints a custodian, receiver, receiver-manager, administrative receiver,
administrator, liquidator, or other similar officer of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary; or 
 (C) orders the liquidation, administration or receivership of the Issuer or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 

(10) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee is held in a judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or
invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; or 

(11) unless all of the Collateral has been released from the Note Liens in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, the
default, repudiation or disaffirmation by the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any of their obligations under the Security Documents (other than by reason of a release of such obligation or Lien related thereto in accordance with this
Indenture or the Security Documents), which default, repudiation or disaffirmation results in Collateral having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $5.0 million not being subject to a valid, perfected security interest in favor of the
Collateral Agent under any applicable law (other than the law of any foreign jurisdiction) (to the extent required under the Security Documents), or a determination in a judicial proceeding that the Security Documents are unenforceable or invalid
against the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors for any reason with respect to Collateral having an aggregate Fair Market Value of $5.0 million or more; provided that such default, repudiation, disaffirmation or determination is not
rescinded, stayed, or waived by the Persons having such authority pursuant to the Security Documents or otherwise cured within 60 days after the Issuer receives written notice thereof specifying such occurrence from the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes demanding that such default be remedied. 

  
 -48-

 For the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of
any action or event that occurred prior to a restatement of the financial statements of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries, to the extent (i) such financial statements were prepared in accordance in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as the case may be,
at the time such action or event occurred and (ii) such action or event was permitted at the time such action or event occurred based on the financial statements of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in existence at such time. 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. 
 In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01, with respect to the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Issuer and, in the case of a notice by
Holders, also to the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a notice of acceleration. 
 Section
6.03. Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Note Documents. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default
or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however,
that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 
 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising
any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Holders of Notes or that may subject the Trustee to personal liability. The Trustee may also withhold from the Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall have the right to select and retain counsel of its choosing to represent of in any such proceedings.

 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due, no Holder may
pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (1) such Holder gives to the Trustee
written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such
Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or
indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder of a Note may not use this
Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on
the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding related thereto, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer and Subsidiary
Guarantors for the whole amount of principal of and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including without limitation any amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof), its agents and counsel. 

  
 -50-

 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to 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 Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and
any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in
liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.10. Priorities. 
 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all
compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes
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 a 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 due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of
a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

 ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 

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

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

(1) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and 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; and 

(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 form required by this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts or conclusions stated therein). Delivery of reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly 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 7.01; 

(2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is
proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) the Trustee will
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 the terms hereof. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof. 

(e) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee and the
Collateral Agent will be under no obligation to exercise any of their respective rights and powers under this Indenture or the Security Documents at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee and/or the Collateral
Agent security and indemnity satisfactory to it, in its sole discretion, against any loss, liability or expense. 

  
 -52-

 (f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely
upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting on any document 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.

 (b) Before the Trustee takes, suffers or omits to take any action hereunder, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or
an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of the Trustee’s own
choosing and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. Any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a board resolution. Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate. 

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer will be sufficient
if signed by an Officer of the Issuer. 
 (f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee, in its sole discretion, against the losses, liabilities and expenses
that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) Except with respect to Section 4.01
hereof, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance by the Issuer with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4 hereof. The Trustee is not required to take notice or deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder or under any of the Note Documents with respect to a series of Notes (other than an Event of Default described in subsections (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 with respect to such Notes during any period the Trustee is
also serving as a Paying Agent for such Notes), unless a Responsible Officer has received notice in writing of such Event of Default from the Issuer or from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes so
affected, and in absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no Default or Event of Default exists. 

(h) The Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers
under this Indenture. 

  
 -53-

 (i) The Trustee’s rights, powers, indemnities, immunities and protections from
liability and its rights to compensation and indemnification in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend to (1) the Trustee, whether serving in any other capacity hereunder, including without limitation,
in the capacity of Registrar, Paying Agent or Collateral Agent, and (2) the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents and employees. Such immunities and protections and rights to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to
compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal, the discharge of this Indenture and final payment of the Notes. 
 (j) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information in any offering document or other disclosure material distributed with respect to any series of Notes, and the Trustee shall have no
responsibility for compliance with any state or federal securities laws in connection with the Notes, other than the filing of any documents required to be filed by an indenture trustee pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act. 

(k) Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, whenever any provision of this Indenture indicates that any confirmation of a
condition or event is qualified by the words “to the knowledge of” or “known to” the Trustee or other words of similar meaning, said words shall mean and refer to the actual knowledge of one or more Responsible Officers who are
located at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 (l) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any registration,
filing, recording, reregistration, refiling or rerecording of this Indenture, any of the Security Documents or any other document or instrument executed in connection with this Indenture and the issuance and sale of the Notes, including without
limitation, any financing statements or continuation statements with respect thereto, or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. 

(m) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to effect or maintain insurance or to renew any policies of insurance or to inquire as
to the sufficiency of any policies of insurance carried by the Issuer or any other party, or to report, or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or damage insured against or which may occur, or to keep itself informed or advised as to
the payment of any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made. 
 (n) The Trustee shall not be personally
liable for any debts, contractual obligations or other claims by or on behalf of any Person (including, without limitation, any damages to Persons or property or salaries or other employee benefits) arising from the conduct or management of, or from
any work or thing done on, any property that is subject to the Security Documents, whether such might arise prior to, during or after any period in which the Trustee may be in the possession of or managing any property subject to the Security
Documents; and shall have no affirmative duty with respect to compliance of such properties under state or federal laws pertaining to the transport, storage, treatment or disposal of pollutants, contaminants, waste or hazardous materials, or
regulations, permits or licenses issued under such laws. 
 (o) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein or in any of the
Security Documents, prior to exercising any rights or remedies under the Security Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosing on any property, the Trustee shall have the right to obtain any and all environmental and other reports and
studies and undertake such additional investigation as it deems prudent, and to require that it be furnished with, security or indemnitees against any and all risks and liabilities in connection therewith, which shall have such coverage and be in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee. 

  
 -54-

 (p) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or Indirect
Participant or to the Persons for whom they act as nominees with respect to the Notes, or to any Beneficial Owner of Notes in respect of the accuracy of any records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or any Participant or Indirect
Participant, the payment by the Depositary, or any Participant or Indirect Participant of any amount in respect of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the Notes, any notice which is permitted or required to be given under this
Indenture, the selection by the Depositary or any Participant or Indirect Participant of any Person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Notes, or any consent given or other action taken by the Depositary or its nominee as
Holder. 
 (q) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of
any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or
resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, or the value, condition or sufficiency of the Collateral or any other
assets pledged or assigned as security for the Notes, the right, title or interest of the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person therein, or the security provided thereby or by the Note Documents. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any
Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its
certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will
send to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on, any
Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes
remain outstanding, the Trustee will send to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
requirements of this Section 7.06 shall not apply until such time as this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA. 

  
 -55-

 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services
hereunder and under the other Note Documents. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly upon
request for all reasonable and documented disbursements, advances, expenses, claims or damages incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and
expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s respective agents and counsel, as applicable. 
 (b) The Issuer
and the Subsidiary Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against any and all losses, liabilities,
claims or expenses (including without limitation taxes other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties, or the exercise
or failure to exercise any of its rights or remedies, under this Indenture or the other Note Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors (including this Section 7.07)
and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and under the
other Note Documents (or its failure to do so), except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of its/their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Subsidiary
Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge
or termination of this Indenture for any reason, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law, or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. 

(d) To secure the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have
a Lien prior to the Lien (if any) securing the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee under the Note Documents or otherwise, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (e) In addition, and without
prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (7) or
(8) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any
time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The
Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under
any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint
a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Issuer. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 (e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective,
and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the
Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of a retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent. 

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will
be the successor Trustee.

America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0
million as set forth in its most recent filed annual or quarterly report of condition.

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the Issuer’s
exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been
discharged from its/their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Subsidiary Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal
Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Subsidiary Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be
“outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its/their other obligations under such Notes, the
Subsidiary Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same) and all of the Liens on Collateral securing the Notes shall be released, except for
the following provisions of this Indenture which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in
Section 8.04; 
 (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and
Section 4.02; 

  
 -58-

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

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

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their/its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.14 and 4.15 and Section 5.01(3) and (4) with respect
to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of
any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood
that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, all Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will be released and with respect to the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary
Guarantees, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(7) and Sections 6.01(9) and (10) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(9) and (10), only with respect to the
Subsidiaries of the Issuer) will not constitute Events of Default with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to
Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either
Section 8.02 or 8.03: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit
of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent
public accountants delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of and interest on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the
Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in the case
of an election under Section 8.02, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 
 (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

  
 -59-

 (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal
income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders
of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an election under
Section 8.03, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default
or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any related deposit of funds); 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the
agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(6) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; 

(7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that all conditions precedent set forth
in clauses (1) through (7) of this Section 8.04 have been complied with; and 
 (8) The Issuer
must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (2), (3) and (5) of this Section 8.04 have been complied with. 

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

Subject to Section 8.06, all money and non-callable Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become
due thereon in respect of principal and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 -60-

 The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of
the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will
deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to Issuer. 

Subject to applicable law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment
of the principal of or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability and other obligations of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’
obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Notes or the Subsidiary
Guarantees without the consent of any Holder of Note: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity or defect or to correct or
supplement any provision therein that may be inconsistent with any other provision therein; 
 (2) to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

  
 -61-

 (3) to evidence the succession of another Person or entity to the Issuer and
the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer therein and, to the extent applicable, the Notes; 
 (4) to make any change to any provision of this Indenture that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder or that does not adversely affect the rights or
interests of any such Holder; 
 (5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, or under any similar federal statute subsequently enacted, and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required under the TIA; 

(6) to conform the text of this Indenture (and/or any supplemental indenture), the Notes or the Security Documents to any
provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the
Subsidiary Guarantees, the Notes or the Security Documents, which intent shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer to that effect; 
 (7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Indenture on the date of this Indenture; 

(8) to establish the form or terms of the Notes, including issuing Additional Notes; 

(9) to add any additional Defaults or Events of Default in respect of the Notes; 

(10) to add a corporate co-issuer in accordance with Section 5.01 of this Indenture; 

(11) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment thereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes
and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of this Indenture; 

(12) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Issuer
shall consider to be appropriate for the benefit of the Holders of Notes or to surrender any right or power therein conferred upon the Issuer and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any such additional
covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as set forth therein; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant,
restriction, condition or provision, such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for an immediate
enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes of such series to waive such an
Event of Default; 
 (13) to add a Subsidiary Guarantee and cause any person or entity to become a Subsidiary
Guarantor, and/or to evidence the succession of another person or entity to a Subsidiary Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor therein and, to the extent applicable, endorsed upon
any Notes; 

  
 -62-

 (14) to provide, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
additional collateral to secure the Notes; or 
 (15) to comply with the rules of the Depository. 

In addition, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend the Intercreditor Agreement or the
Security Documents to add additional secured parties holding Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations or New Credit Facility Obligations permitted by this Indenture with the same Lien priorities and rights as provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement or to enter into intercreditor arrangements with the holders of any such Indebtedness so long as the terms of such intercreditor arrangements are not less favorable to the Holders of Notes than the intercreditor provisions contained in the
Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 The consent of the Holders of Notes is not necessary to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the
Holders of Notes a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
indenture or waiver. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any amended or
supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties, privileges, protections, indemnities, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 Except as provided below
in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.09 and 4.10), the Notes or any Guarantee thereof with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or
purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting
from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes). 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any
such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendments, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described
in Section 7.02, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties, privileges, protections, indemnities, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

  
 -63-

 It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement
or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees. However,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the
redemption of the Notes (except for provisions relating to (i) the timing for notices that must be given by the Issuer in connection with a redemption of the Notes and (ii) as provided above with respect to Sections 4.09 and 4.10);

 (3) reduce the stated rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any
Note; 
 (4) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; 

(5) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults; 

(6) make any changes to provisions related to the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or
interest or premium, if any, on, such Holders’ Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holders’ Notes; 

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.09 or 4.10);

 (8) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this
Indenture, in each case in any manner adverse to the Holders of Notes, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. 
 Section
9.03. [Reserved]. 

  
 -64-

 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder
of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder
of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer
in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amended
or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.04, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

ARTICLE 10 

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Guarantee. 
 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of
the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the other Notes Documents or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (1) the principal of and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest
on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and 

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will
be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

  
 -65-

 Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity
or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any
action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged
except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee
is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by either
to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may
be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the
event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary
Guarantee. 
 (e) All Subsidiary Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing
Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Indenture. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under
its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes such that its Aggregate Payments exceed its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause
each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of
(i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors, multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid
or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes in respect of the obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor
as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of 

  
 -66-

 
state law; provided that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 10.01, any
assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such
date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee of the Notes (including in respect of this Section 10.01), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from
the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 10.01. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding
Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 10.01. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. 
 Each
Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of applicable Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and
fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of
the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee. 

To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such
Subsidiary Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf
of such Subsidiary Guarantor by one of its Officers (but the failure to execute such notation shall not affect the validity of any Subsidiary Guarantee). 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of
such Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will be deemed to constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the
Subsidiary Guarantors. 

  
 -67-

 Section 10.04. Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

 A Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or
merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless: 

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

(2) either: 
 (a) (i) the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person or (ii) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
merger (if other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of that Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and all appropriate Security Documents pursuant to a supplemental indenture and other documentation
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent; or 
 (b) the transaction constitutes a sale or other
disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Subsidiary Guarantor or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor otherwise permitted by Section 4.10. 

In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by
supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture
to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may
cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued will
in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at
the date of the execution. 
 Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5, and notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2)(a) and
(b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or
conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 Section 10.05. Releases. 
 The Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary
Guarantor, and the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor, will be released: 
 (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving
effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10; 

  
 -68-

 (2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of
that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or Subsidiary Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 and the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases
to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as a result of the sale or other disposition; 
 (3) if the Issuer
designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or 

(4) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 or satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture as provided under Article 11. 
 Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

 ARTICLE 11 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

(1) either: 
 (a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to
the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (b) all Notes that have not been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused
to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any
reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 
 (3) such deposit will
not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is

 -69-

 (4) the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all
sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 
 (5) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 11.01
have been satisfied and (b) an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (3) and (5) of this Section 11.01 have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07, that, by their
terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money.

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

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

 (d) as to property that constitutes all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Notes, with the consent of Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding voting as a single class (which consent may be obtained in connection with an exchange offer or tender offer and associated consent solicitation); 
 (e) as to property that constitutes less than all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Notes, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (which consent may be obtained in connection with an exchange offer or tender offer and associated consent solicitation); and 

(f) on any or all of the Collateral, upon any release of all New Credit Facility Liens thereon; provided,
however, that if there is instated or reinstated a Lien securing New Credit Facility Obligations on any or all of the Collateral upon which the Lien securing the Note Obligations has been released pursuant to this clause (g), then the Lien
securing the Note Obligations on such Collateral will also be deemed reinstated on a second priority basis. 
 In connection
with any release of Collateral under this Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to comply with Sections 314(b) or 314(c) of the TIA. 
 Each of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors may, among other things, without any release or consent by the Trustee, but otherwise in compliance with the covenants of this Indenture and the Security
Documents, conduct ordinary course activities with respect to the Collateral, including (i) selling or otherwise disposing of, in any transaction or series of related transactions, any property subject to the Lien of the Security Documents
which has become worn out, defective or obsolete or not used or useful in the business; (ii) abandoning, terminating, canceling, releasing or making alterations in or substitutions of any leases or contracts subject to the Lien of the Security
Documents; (iii) surrendering or modifying any franchise, license or permit subject to the Lien of the Security Documents which it may own or under which it may be operating; (iv) altering, repairing, replacing, changing the location or
position of and adding to its structures, machinery, systems, equipment, fixtures and appurtenances; (v) granting a license of any intellectual property; (vi) selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of inventory in the ordinary course
of business; (vii) collecting accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business or selling, liquidating, factoring or otherwise disposing of accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business; (viii) making cash payments

by this Indenture and the Security Documents; and (ix) abandoning any intellectual property which is no longer used or useful in the Issuer’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s business. 

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 30 calendar days following the end of each fiscal year (or such later date as the Trustee
shall agree), an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that all releases and withdrawals during the preceding fiscal year (or since the date of this Indenture, in the case of the first such certificate) in which no release or consent of the
Trustee was obtained in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ business were not prohibited by this Indenture.

 Section 13.05. Use of Collateral; Compliance with Section 314(d) of the TIA.

 (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have commenced
enforcement of remedies under the Security Documents, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Security Documents, this Indenture or the New Credit Facility or other documentation governing the New Credit Facility Obligations, the Security
Documents or this Indenture, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors will have the right to remain in possession and retain exclusive control of the Collateral to alter or repair the Collateral, to freely operate the Collateral and to collect,
invest and dispose of any income thereon. 
 (b) After qualification of this Indenture pursuant to the TIA, the Issuer and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall comply with TIA § 314(d). Any certificate or opinion required by TIA § 314(d) may be made by an officer of the Issuer except in cases where TIA § 314(d) requires that such certificate or
opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person will be an independent appraiser or other expert selected by the Issuer and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.05(b), each of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA § 314(d) if
it determines, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of TIA § 314(d) and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive
orders, all or any portion of TIA § 314(d) is inapplicable to released Collateral (including, without limitation, certain no-action letters issued by the SEC have permitted an indenture qualified under the TIA to contain provisions
permitting the release of collateral from Liens under an indenture in the ordinary course of an issuer’s business without requiring the issuer to provide certificates and other documents under TIA § 314(d)). 

Section 13.06. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. 

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this
Article 13 upon the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the
equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 13; and if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the
Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. 
 Section 13.07. Voting. 
 In connection with any matter under the Security
Agreement requiring a vote of holders of Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), the holders of such Secured Obligations shall be treated as a single class and the Holders shall cast their votes in accordance with this Indenture.
The amount of the Notes to be voted by the Holders will equal the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under this Indenture, the Trustee shall vote the total amount
of the Notes as a block in respect of any vote under the Security Agreement.[Reserved]

set forth herein or therein or (ii) any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture or any Security Document or otherwise
exist against the Collateral Agent. 
 (3) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or
opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Security Documents in good faith and in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

 Floating Rate Senior Secured Note Due 2016 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. DUNE ENERGY, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date of issuance until maturity. Interest on the principal amount of each Note will accrue
from the Issue Date or, if interest has previously been paid on any Note, from the most recent interest payment date on which the Issuer has paid or provided for the payment of interest, to the next interest payment date or the scheduled maturity
date, as the case may be. Interest on overdue principal and interest will accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate. Interest on the Notes will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in each quarterly interest
payment period. 
 Each payment of interest on the Notes (other than interest due upon Stated Maturity of the Notes) will
consist of a “Mandatory Cash Interest Payment” and a “PIK-Eligible Interest Payment,” and on each interest payment date (other than upon Stated Maturity of the Notes), the Issuer will pay in full the Mandatory Cash Interest
Payment and the PIK-Eligible Interest Payment with respect to each outstanding Note. The Issuer will pay each such Mandatory Cash Interest Payment in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the previously accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount of such Note at an interest rate per annum equal to 3.0%. The amount of each such PIK-Eligible Interest Payment will be equal to the previously accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Note at an interest rate per
annum that is three percentage points less than the Applicable Interest Rate. 
 On each interest payment date, the Issuer, in
its sole discretion, may pay all or any portion of the PIK-Eligible Interest Payment on each note in the form of immediately available funds, and on such date, the principal amount of each note shall automatically increase by the amount (the
“Accretion Amount”), if any, equal to the difference between (a) the amount of the PIK-Eligible Interest Payment due on such note and (b) the amount of such PIK-Eligible Interest Payment paid in immediately available funds
on such interest payment date; provided, however that (i) the Accretion Amount, if any, may not be any amount that is not an integral multiple of $1.00, (ii) the sum of the amount of immediately available funds, if any, paid
by the Issuer on such date as all or a portion of the PIK-Eligible Interest Payment (the “PIK-Eligible Cash Interest Payment”) plus the Accretion Amount must equal the PIK-Eligible Interest Payment due on such note and (iii) on
each interest payment date, the PIK-Eligible Cash Interest Payment paid on such date, together with the automatic increase, if any, of the principal amount of such note by the Accretion Amount, shall be deemed to be full payment of the PIK-Eligible
Interest Payment. The Calculation Agent shall prepare, and the registrar shall maintain, a schedule with respect to the foregoing, setting forth with respect to each note on each interest payment date, the principal amount (immediately prior to the
payment of interest thereon on such date), the Mandatory Cash Interest Payment, the PIK-Eligible Interest Payment, the portion of the PIK-Eligible Interest Payment paid in immediately available funds, and the Accretion Amount, if any. 

“Applicable Interest Rate” means an annual interest rate, expressed as a percentage, equal to the lower of (a) the
sum of (i) the Minimum Three-Month LIBOR Rate plus (ii) 13 percentage points and (b) the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. 

  
 A-5

 “Minimum Three-Month LIBOR Rate” means an annual interest rate, expressed
as a percentage, equal to the greater of (a) 1.5% or (b) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the three-month period commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined below) at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second London banking day (defined below) prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date. If this rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, the Calculation Agent will determine the rate on the
basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four major reference banks in the London interbank market (selected by the Calculation Agent) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second London banking day prior to the
applicable Interest Reset Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of three months commencing on that Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a
single transaction in such market at such time. In such case, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of the aforesaid major banks to provide a quotation of such rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the
rate for that Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations calculated by the Calculation Agent, and, if fewer than two quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates
quoted by major banks in New York City (selected by the Calculation Agent) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second London banking day prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European
banks for a period of three months commencing on that Interest Reset Date (such arithmetic mean as calculated by the Calculation Agent) and in a principal amount equal to an amount not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single
transaction in such market at such time; provided, however that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting such rates as mentioned in the preceding sentence, the Minimum Three-Month LIBOR Rate set at such
Interest Reset Date will be the Minimum Three-Month LIBOR Rate determined with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date. A “London banking day” is any business day in which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted in the
London interbank market. 
 “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page
“LIBOR01” on Reuters Screen (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, any successor service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of
displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). 
 The Minimum Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be reset
quarterly on each interest payment date (each of these dates is referred to as an “Interest Reset Date”), beginning on March 15, 2012. All percentages resulting from any calculation of Applicable Interest Rate and the Minimum
Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (for example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or
..0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) being rounded to 9.87654% (or .0987654)), and all dollar amounts in or resulting from any such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). 

Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Issuer and the trustee (if the Calculation Agent is not the
Trustee) of the Minimum Three-Month LIBOR Rate and the Applicable Interest Rate for the three month period beginning on the Interest Reset Date. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of any Note, provide the Applicable Interest
Rate then in effect. 
 The Calculation Agent is initially the trustee until such time as the Issuer appoints a successor
Calculation Agent. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence of manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. All interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15
and December 15, beginning on March 15, 2012. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1
preceding the respective interest payment date. At 

  
 A-6

 
maturity of the Notes, the Issuer will pay the principal amount of the Notes in immediately available funds upon delivery of the Notes to the Trustee. If an interest payment date is not a
Business Day, payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. 
 If a Holder of Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer, the Issuer will pay all principal and interest on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other
payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar, unless we elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the noteholders at their address set forth in the register of Holders. Such payment shall be
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 3. TRUSTEE; PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will initially act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or
Registrar without notice to any Holder, and the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 4. INDENTURE AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 22, 2011 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors
party thereto and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a
statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. Following the Issue Date, the Notes and the related Subsidiary
Guarantees are secured obligations of the Issuer and the relevant Subsidiary Guarantors. The Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees are secured by a pledge of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in the Indenture. The
Note Liens, which secure the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees, and the New Credit Facility Liens are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by accepting a Note agrees that the Note Liens and the New Credit
Facility Liens are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Holders, by accepting a Note, hereby authorize and direct the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Holders and agree
that the Holders shall comply with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to them in their capacities as such to the same extent as if the Holders were parties thereto. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of
Notes that may be issued thereunder. 
 5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) The Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the Issue Date upon
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date). 
 (b) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes in global form, the Trustee will select Notes
for redemption based on DTC’s method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection), unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements. 
 (c) No Notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to
be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

  
 A-7

 (d) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to
such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes
called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment. Any
redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. 
 6.
MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise. 
 7. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall be required to make a Change of Control Offer in accordance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture. 

(b) In accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of
certain events. 
 8. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. Notes will be issued either in registered, global form or in
registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among
other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer will not be required to transfer or
exchange any note (or portion of a note) selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 

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

10. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in
Article 9 of the Indenture and Events of Default may be waived as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture. 
 11.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Issuer and, in case of a notice by Holders, also to the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and
that it is a notice of acceleration. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or certain Restricted Subsidiaries occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the
Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such
acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 

  
 A-8

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

15. GOVERNING LAW. The laws of the State of New York shall govern and be used to construe the Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary
Guarantees. 
 16. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 17. REFERENCE TO INDENTURE AND OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and other Note Documents (copies of which are on file
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) and all indentures and agreements supplemental thereto for a description of the rights thereunder of the Holders of the Notes, the nature and extent of the security therefor, the rights, duties,
protections and immunities of the Trustee and the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors thereunder, to all the provisions of which the Holder, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.

 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST 
 Section 2.01 Grant of Security
Interest. Each Grantor hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by
such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security
for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations: 
 (1) all Accounts; 
 (2) all Chattel Paper (whether Tangible Chattel Paper or
Electronic Chattel Paper); 
 (3) all Commercial Tort Claims; 

(4) all Deposit Accounts other than payroll, withholding tax and other fiduciary Deposit Accounts; 

(5) all Documents; 
 (6) all General Intangibles (including, without limitation, rights in and under any Swap Agreements); 
 (7) all Goods (including, without limitation, all Inventory and all Equipment, but excluding all Fixtures);

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (1) through (15) above, the Collateral will not include any

 Section 2.02 Transfer of Pledged Securities. 

(a) Subject to Section 2.02(b), all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities shall be
delivered to and held pursuant hereto by the Collateral Agent or a Person designated by the Collateral Agent and, in the case of an instrument or certificate in registered form, shall be duly indorsed to the Collateral Agent or in blank by an
effective indorsement (whether on the certificate or instrument or on a separate writing), and accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps to effect the pledge of the Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, all Pledged Securities must be delivered or transferred in such manner, and each Grantor shall take all such further action as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, as to permit the Collateral Agent to be a “protected
purchaser” to the extent of its security interest as provided in Section 8.303 of the Texas UCC (if the Collateral Agent otherwise qualifies as a protected purchaser). 

(b) It is further acknowledged and agreed that notwithstanding anything to contrary herein by virtue of the execution and delivery by the
Grantors of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, for so long as the First-Lien Obligations (as defined under the Intercreditor Agreement) remain outstanding, the delivery of any Collateral to the First-Lien Administrative Agent will
satisfy the obligation under this Agreement to deliver the Collateral to the Collateral Agent. Upon such delivery in accordance with this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, and the filing of any necessary financing statement covering such
Collateral in the appropriate filing offices, the Collateral Agent will obtain, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and perfected lien upon and security interest in such Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, as security for

 Section 2.03 Grantors Remain Liable under Accounts, Chattel Paper

under any Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any such other Secured Party of any payment relating to such
Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible, pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account, Chattel Paper or
Payment Intangible (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account, Chattel
Paper or Payment Intangible (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.

not make the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party a successor to Grantor as a partner or member in any Issuer that is a partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, and neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured
Party, nor any of their respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to have become a partner or member in any Issuer, as applicable, by accepting this Agreement or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if
any, when any such Person expressly becomes a partner or member in any Issuer, as applicable, and complies with any applicable transfer provisions set forth in the charter or organizational documents relating to an applicable Pledged Security after

Agreement; or (H) any other circumstance or act whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Grantor), which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge or defense of the Company for the

  
 7 

 
Secured Obligations, or of such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Article II or with respect to the collateral security provided by such Grantor herein, or which might be available to a
surety or guarantor, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

ARTICLE IV 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to enter into the Indenture, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party that: 

Section 4.01 Benefit to the Obligor. The Company is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes each Obligor, and
the Company and the Obligors are engaged in related business. Each Obligor is a Subsidiary of the Company and its guaranty and surety obligations pursuant to this Agreement reasonably may be expected to benefit, directly or indirectly, it; and it
has determined that this Agreement is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of such Obligor and the Company. 
 Section 4.02 Perfected Second Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in
the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent in all of
the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code or by possession, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s obligations, enforceable in
accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for
Excepted Liens which have priority by operation of law. 

  
 9 

 Section 4.03 Prior Names, Addresses, Locations of Tangible Assets. Schedule 4
correctly sets forth (a) all names that such Grantor has used in the last five years and (b) the chief executive office of such Grantor over the last five years. 
 Section 4.04 Pledged Securities. The shares (or such other interests) of Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares (or such other
interests) of all classes of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Issuer owned by such Grantor. All the shares (or such other interests) of the Pledged Securities have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable;
and such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good title to, the Pledged Securities pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens except Excepted Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the
security interest created by this Agreement. 
 Section 4.05 Instruments and Chattel Paper. Subject to Section 2.02
(b) hereof, such Grantor has delivered to the Collateral Agent all Collateral constituting Instruments and Chattel Paper having a value in excess of $500,000. No Collateral constituting Chattel Paper or Instruments contains any statement
therein to the effect that such Collateral has been assigned to an identified party other than the Collateral Agent, and the grant of a security interest in such Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent hereunder does not violate the rights of
any other Person as a secured party. 
 ARTICLE V 
 COVENANTS

the other Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until Secured Obligations (other than amounts in respect of indemnification, expense, reimbursement or tax gross up for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in
full: 
 Section 5.01 Covenants in the Indenture. In the case of each Obligor, such Obligor shall take, or shall refrain
from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Obligor or
any of its Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.02 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation. 

(a) Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having at
least the priority described in Section 5.03 and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever except for Liens permitted by Section 4.08 of the Indenture. 

(b) At any time and from time to time, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and
at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly give, execute, deliver, indorse, file or record any and all financing statements, continuation statements, amendments, notices (including, without limitation, notifications to
financial institutions and any other Person), contracts, 

  
 10 

 
agreements, assignments, certificates, stock powers or other instruments, obtain any and all governmental approvals and consents and take or cause to be taken any and all steps or acts that may
be necessary or advisable or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect, establish the priority of, or to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of, the Liens granted by this Agreement or to enable the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party to enforce its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement with respect to such Liens or to otherwise obtain or preserve the full benefits of this Agreement and the rights, powers and privileges herein
granted. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall be required to perfect the security interest of
the Secured Creditors in any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodities Accounts unless (i) an Event of Default exists and (ii) the Collateral Agent has notified the Company that it elects to have its security interest in such
assets perfected.

(a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate or other instrument
(including, without limitation, any certificate or instrument representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate or instrument issued in connection with any
reorganization), option or rights in respect of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Company, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares (or such other interests) of the Pledged
Securities, or otherwise in respect thereof, subject to Section 2.02(b) hereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power or other equivalent instrument of transfer
acceptable to the Collateral Agent covering such certificate or instrument duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Collateral Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof,
as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations. 
 (b) Without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (i) unless otherwise permitted hereby, vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Company to issue any stock or other equity interests of any nature or to issue any other securities or
interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interests of any nature of any Company, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to,
the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Indenture), (iii) except for Liens permitted by Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement and Section 4.08 of the Indenture, create, incur or
permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or (iv) except
as permitted by the Credit Agreement, enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof. 

  
 11

(i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of
the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 6.03(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (iii) the terms of Section 7.01(c) and Section 7.05 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect
to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.05 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it. 
 (d) Such Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent such stock powers and other equivalent instruments of transfer as may be required by the Collateral Agent to assure the transferability of and the
perfection of the security interest in the Pledged Securities when and as often as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. 
 (e) The Pledged Securities will at all times constitute not less than 100% of the capital stock or other equity interests of the Issuer thereof owned by any Grantor. Each Grantor will not permit any
Issuer of any of the Pledged Securities to issue any new shares (or other interests) of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of such Issuer without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent unless immediately upon issuance
the same are pledged and, if applicable, delivered to Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and subject to Section 2.02(b) hereof to the extent necessary to give Collateral Agent a second priority security interest after such issue in
at least the same percentage of such Issuer’s outstanding shares or other interests as Grantor had before such issue.

Exchange Commission or any successor thereto or analogous Governmental Authority, or to the extent that the existence of any such Commercial Tort Claim is disclosed in 

  
 12 

 
any press release issued by any Grantor, then, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, the relevant Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days after such request is made, transmit to the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties a writing signed by such Grantor containing a brief description of such Commercial Tort Claim and granting to the Collateral Agent in such writing (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a security

any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged
Securities shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting
of shareholders (or other equivalent body) of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as
if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the

the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received

 13 

 (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged
Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder (and each Issuer party hereto hereby agrees) to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless
otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent. 
 (d) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Company of any Pledged Securities is the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, custodianship or other
proceedings under the supervision of any Governmental Authority, then all rights of the Grantor in respect thereof to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the
Pledged Securities issued by such Issuer shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, but the Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to exercise any such voting or other consensual rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 
 Section 6.02 Collections on Accounts, Etc. The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect upon the Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles, and the Collateral
Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, each Grantor shall notify the Account Debtors that the applicable Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof
shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may in its own name or in the name of others communicate with the Account Debtors to verify with them to its satisfaction the
existence, amount and terms of any Accounts, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangibles. 
 Section 6.03 Proceeds. If required
by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles, when collected or received by each Grantor, and any other cash
or non-cash Proceeds received by each Grantor upon the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor
to the Collateral Agent if required, in a special collateral account maintained by the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties only, as hereinafter provided, and, until so turned
over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of any such Grantor. Each deposit of any such Proceeds shall be accompanied by a report identifying in
reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. All Proceeds (including, without limitation, Proceeds constituting collections of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments) while held by the Collateral Agent (or by any
Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At
such intervals as may be agreed upon by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent shall apply all or any part of
the funds on deposit in said special collateral account on account of the Secured Obligations in such order as the 

  
 14 

 
Collateral Agent may elect, and any part of such funds which the Collateral Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid
over from time to time by the Collateral Agent to each Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 

Section 6.04 Texas UCC and Other Remedies. 

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may
exercise in its discretion, in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges granted to them in this Agreement, the other Indenture Documents and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured
Obligations, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of a secured party under the Texas UCC (whether the Texas UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, remedies, powers or privileges are asserted) or any other applicable law or
otherwise available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by
law) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale
or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, each Grantor further agrees, at the
Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Any such sale or transfer
by the Collateral Agent either to itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim of right by Grantor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Grantor has or may have under any rule of law,
regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. Upon any such sale or transfer, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred. The
Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 7.04, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of
any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable 

  
 15 

 
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture, and only after such application and
after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9.615 of the Texas UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed
sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent elects not to sell the Collateral, the Collateral Agent retains its rights to
dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the proceeds of the same towards payment of the Secured Obligations. Each and every method of disposition of
the Collateral described in this Agreement shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent may appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale or transfer of the
Collateral. 
 Section 6.05 Private Sales of Pledged Securities. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and
agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Company thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities
Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Company would agree to do so. Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may reasonably be necessary to make such sale
or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section 7.05 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Governmental Requirements, but no Grantor will be required to register any of the
Pledged Securities under the Securities Act. 
 Section 6.06 Waiver; Deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under the Texas UCC or any other applicable law. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the documented fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. 

  
 16 

 Section 6.07 Non-Judicial Enforcement. The Collateral Agent may enforce its rights
hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the extent permitted by law, each Grantor expressly waives any and all legal rights which might otherwise require the Collateral Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.

as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. 
 (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for
the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all reasonably appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this

or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (C) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Collateral; (D) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral;

 17

of and in the name of any Grantor; (F) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral; (G) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (H) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such
discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; and (I) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral
Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. 

Anything in this Section 8.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights
under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 8.01(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein within the applicable grace periods, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may
perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 
 (c) The expenses of the
Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 8.01, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant
Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand. 
 (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies
all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue and in compliance hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated
and the security interests created hereby are released. 
 Section 7.02 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral
Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9.207 of the Texas UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral
Agent deals with similar property for its own account and shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
comparable secured parties accord comparable collateral. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of
the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any 

  
 18 

 
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to 
 exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) shall be responsible to any
Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, Notwithstanding the sole or concurrent negligence of every kind or character whatsoever, whether active or passive, whether an affirmative act or an omission, including without limitation, all
types of negligent conduct identified in the restatement (second) of torts of one or more of the indemnitees or by reason of strict liability imposed without fault on any one or more of the indemnitees; provided that such exculpation shall not, as
to any indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Collateral Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in
connection with any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against any Grantor or other Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders
or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral, and
waives any right to require the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed against any Grantor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party now has or may
hereafter have against any Grantor or other Person. 
 Section 7.03 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the
Texas UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, continuation statements, amendments thereto and other
filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Additionally, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record such financing statements that describe the collateral covered
thereby as “all assets of the Grantor”, “all personal property of the Grantor” or words of similar effect. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or
recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. 
 Section 7.04 Authority of Collateral
Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option,
voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured 

  
 19 

 
Parties, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the
Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS 
 Section 8.01 Subordination of All
Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” means all debts and obligations of the Company or any other Grantor to any Grantor (other than the Company), whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter
incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open
account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by. After
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Grantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Guarantor Claims. 

Section 8.02 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or
other insolvency proceedings involving any Grantor, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver,
trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Should any Agent or Secured Party receive, for application upon the Secured Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise
payable to any Grantor, and which, as between such Grantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations then due, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Secured Obligations, and such subrogation
shall be with respect to that proportion of the Secured Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims. 

Section 8.03 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that notwithstanding Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, any Grantor should
receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees: (a) to hold in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims
or distributions so received, and (b) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and
each Grantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Collateral Agent. 

  
 20 

 Section 8.04 Liens Subordinate. Each Grantor agrees that, until the Secured
Obligations are paid in full, any Liens securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Secured Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Grantor,
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor, during the period in which any of the Secured Obligations (other than amounts
in respect of indemnification, expense reimbursement or tax gross up for which no claim has been made) are outstanding, shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Guarantor Claims,
or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement,
debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien held by it. 
 Section 8.05 Notation of Records. Upon
the request of the Collateral Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held by any Grantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness
evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IX 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 9.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy,

or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. The exercise by the

proceeds had not been received and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Security Instrument shall continue in full force and effect. In
such event, each Security Instrument shall be automatically reinstated and each Grantor shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to effect such reinstatement.

 (e) Each Grantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set
forth in this Agreement are made voluntarily and unconditionally after consultation with outside legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right
waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Grantor otherwise may have against the Company, any other Grantor, the Secured Parties or any other Person or against any collateral. If, notwithstanding the intent of the
parties that the terms of this Agreement shall control in any and all circumstances, any such waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted
by law. 
 Section 9.12 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Company that is required to become a party to this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.14 of the Indenture and is not a signatory hereto shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto.

 Section 9.13 Releases. 
 (a) Release Upon Payment in Full. The grant of a security interest hereunder and all of rights, powers and remedies in connection herewith shall remain in full force and effect until the Collateral
Agent has (i) retransferred and delivered all Collateral in its possession to the Grantors, and (ii) executed a written release or termination statement and reassigned to the Grantors without recourse or warranty any remaining Collateral
and all rights conveyed hereby. Upon the complete payment of the Secured Obligations (other than amounts in respect of indemnification, expense, reimbursement or tax gross-up for which no claim has been made), the termination of the Indenture and
the compliance by the Grantors with all covenants and agreements hereof, the Collateral Agent, at the written request and expense of the Company, will promptly release, reassign and transfer the Collateral to the Grantors and declare this Agreement
to be terminated and of no further force or effect. 
 (b) Further Assurances. If any of the Collateral
shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Indenture, then the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all
releases or other documents reasonably necessary or 

  
 24 

 
desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral and the capital stock of such Grantor. At the request and sole expense of the Company, a Grantor shall be released from
its obligations hereunder in the event that all the capital stock of such Grantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Indenture; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Collateral
Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any
expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Company stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Indenture and the other Indenture Documents. 

(c) Retention in Satisfaction. Except as may be expressly applicable pursuant to Section 9.620 of the Texas
UCC, no action taken or omission to act by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, any exercise of voting or consensual rights or any other action taken or inaction, shall be deemed to constitute a
retention of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or otherwise to be in full satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, and the Secured Obligations shall remain in full force and effect, until the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties shall have applied payments (including, without limitation, collections from Collateral) towards the Secured Obligations in the full amount then outstanding or until such subsequent time as is provided in Section 10.14(a).

 Section 9.14 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with
respect to the guarantee contained in Article II and the provision of collateral herein) shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Grantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

Section 9.15 Acceptance. Each Grantor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, acceptance on the part of
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties being conclusively presumed by their request for this Agreement and delivery of the same to the Collateral Agent. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent
hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Intercreditor
Agreement”), among Dune Energy, Inc., the other obligors from time to time party thereto, Bank of Montreal, in its capacity as the initial First-Lien Collateral Agent thereunder, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in its capacity
as the initial Second-Lien Collateral Agent thereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
