unless the Notes are at least equally and ratably secured with such secured Indebtedness (together with, if the Company so determines, any other Indebtedness of or guaranty by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter
created that is not subordinated to the Notes) for so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured (and any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and any other debt securities of any series issued pursuant to the Indenture and

other assets of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

arising in connection with the financing of accounts receivable by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the uncollected amount of account receivables subject at any time to any such financing shall not exceed $150,000,000; and

in part of any Lien referred to in this Section 2.8 without increase of the principal of the Indebtedness (plus any premium or fee payable in connection with any such extension, renewal or replacement) secured by the Lien; provided,
however, that any Permitted Liens shall not extend to or cover any property of the Company or that of any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, other than the property specified in this Section 2.8 and improvements to this
property. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may create, assume, incur or guarantee
Indebtedness secured by a Lien without 

  
 6

permitted by Section 2.9(c) does not at such time exceed 5% of Consolidated Total Assets. 
 Section 2.9.
Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement relating to property now owned or hereafter acquired whereby either the Company transfers, or any Restricted Subsidiary transfers, such property to a Person and either the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary leases it back from such Person (a “Sale/Leaseback Transaction”), unless: 
 (i) the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary could, at the time of entering into such arrangement, incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the property involved in the transaction in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such
Sale/Leaseback Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the Notes as described in Section 2.8; or 
 (ii) the net proceeds of the Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to such property’s fair market value, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, and the proceeds are applied
within 180 days of the effective date of the Sale/Leaseback Transaction to the repayment of senior indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (b) The restrictions set forth in (a) above will not apply to a Sale/Leaseback Transaction: (i) entered into prior to the date of issuance of the Notes; (ii) that exists at the time any
Person that owns property or assets becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries; (iv) involving leases for a period of no longer than three years; or (v) in

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale/Leaseback
Transaction; provided that at the time of such transaction, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to Sale/Leaseback Transactions existing at such time that could not have been entered into pursuant
to the restrictions in (a) above, together with the aggregate amount of all outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens as permitted by Section 2.8(b), does not at such time exceed 5% of Consolidated Total Assets. 

  
 7 

 Section 2.10. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. Section 6.04
of the Base Indenture shall be revised in its entirety to read: 
 (a) The Company will be permitted to consolidate or merge
with another entity or to sell all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, subject to the Company’s meeting all of the following conditions: (i) any successor or purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or trust organized under the laws of the United States of America, any State or the District of Columbia; (ii) immediately following the consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity (if
other than the Company) would not be in default in the performance of any covenant in the Indenture; and (iii) the Company delivers a supplemental indenture by which the surviving entity (if other than the Company) expressly assumes the
Company’s obligations under the Indenture. 
 (b) In the event that the Company consolidates or merges with another entity
or sells all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, the surviving entity (if other than the Company) will be substituted for the Company under the Indenture, and the Company will be discharged from all of its obligations under the
Indenture. 
 Section 2.11. Events of Default. 

(a) The term “Event of Default” as used in this Indenture with respect to the Notes shall include the following described event
in addition to those set forth in Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture: 
 (i) The Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary fail to pay the principal of any Indebtedness when due at maturity in an aggregate amount of $50 million or more, or a default occurs that results in the acceleration of the maturity of the Company’s or any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $50 million or more; 
 Section 2.12. Appointment
of Agents. The Trustee shall initially be the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.13. Change of
Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to
redeem the Notes as provided in Article Four of the Base Indenture, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described in this
Section 2.13 (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 (b) Within 30 days following the date
upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by first class
mail, a notice to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later
than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control 

  
 8 

 
Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being
consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to
the close of business on the third business day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) The Company will not be
required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 (d) Holders will not be entitled to require the Company to purchase their Notes
in the event of a takeover, recapitalization, leveraged buyout or similar transaction that is not a Change of Control. In addition, Holders may not be entitled to require the Company to purchase their Notes in certain circumstances involving a
significant change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors, including in connection with a proxy contest where the Company’s Board of Directors does not approve a dissident slate of directors but approves them as required by
clause (4) of Section 1.1(e)(ii). 
 (e) Notwithstanding this Section 2.13, a transaction will not
be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) of Section 1.1(e)(ii) if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) (A) the direct or indirect holders
of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction
no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. 

(f) The Company 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 as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of
Control provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such
compliance. 
 Section 2.14. Defeasance Upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations. At the Company’s
option, either (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes on the first day after the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture have been
satisfied or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition 

  
 9 

 
set forth in Section 10.02 of the Base Indenture and Sections 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10 of this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes at any time after the

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Note” or
collectively, the “Notes”), issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2010, as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture dated August 20, 2012 (as so supplemented, herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes
are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000. 
 Optional Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2022 at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and (ii) the sum, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at
the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 Commencing on June 1, 2022, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 For purposes of
determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable: 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue”
means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations or, if only one such Quotation is obtained, such
Quotation. 

 “Independent Investment Banker” means an independent investment banking
institution of national standing appointed by the Company, which may be one of the Reference Treasury Dealers. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”) that the Company selects. The Company has selected Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their respective successors as Primary Treasury Dealers.

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date
for the Notes, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the
Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently
published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury
securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields
for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month),
(2) if the period from the Redemption Date to the maturity date of the notes to be redeemed is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be
used, or (3) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third
business day preceding the redemption date. 
 Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or
Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date, and unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption. If fewer
than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, and such Notes are at the time represented by a Global Security, the Depositary shall select by lot the particular interests to be redeemed. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the Notes, and
any of such Notes are not represented by a Global Security, then the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed in a manner it deems appropriate and fair (and the Depositary shall select by lot the particular interests in any Global
Security to be redeemed). 

 The Company may at any time, and from time to time, purchase the Notes at any price or
prices in the open market or otherwise. 
 Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit the incurrence of additional debt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
however, it does limit the creation of certain Liens and the entry into sale and leaseback transactions by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Once a
year, the Company must report to the Trustee on its compliance with these limitations. 
 Denominations, Transfer and
Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any different authorized denomination or denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including Section 3.06 of the Base
Indenture, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly
executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of any different authorized denomination or denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to
Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Defined Terms. All terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 (2) Consolidated Interest Expense for such four fiscal quarters;

 provided, however, that 
 (A) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that remains outstanding or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the
Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, or both, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness (but excluding any Indebtedness
Incurred on or after such date of determination pursuant to Section 4.03(b)) as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period, 
 (B) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid,
repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently 

  
 5 

 
repaid and has not been replaced) on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period
shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period and as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income actually earned during such period in
respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness, 
 (C) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to EBITDA (if positive)
directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period, or increased by an amount equal to EBITDA (if negative), directly attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such
period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company

Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale), 

(D) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have

hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of
any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period and 
 (E) if
since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Asset Disposition, any
Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (C) or (D) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period
shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period. 

  
 6 

 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition
of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good
faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in
effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of
12 months). If any Indebtedness is incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for
the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was Incurred solely for working capital purposes. 
 “Consolidated Interest Expense” means, for any period, the total interest expense of the Company and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries, plus, to the extent not included in such total
interest expense, and to the extent incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, without duplication (but excluding, in each case amortization of deferred financing fees, any loss on early extinguishment of Indebtedness and any fees
related to a Qualified Receivables Transaction), 
 (1) interest expense attributable to Capital Lease
Obligations;

 (5) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit and bankers’ acceptance financing; 

(6) net payments pursuant to Hedging Obligations; 

(7) dividends paid in respect of all Disqualified Stock of the Company and all Preferred Stock of any Restricted
Subsidiary, in each case, held by Persons other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than dividends payable solely in Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company); 

(8) interest incurred in connection with Investments in discontinued operations; 

(9) interest accruing on any Indebtedness of any other Person to the extent such Indebtedness is Guaranteed by (or secured
by the assets of) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and 
 (10) the cash contributions to any employee
stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such contributions are used by such plan or trust to pay interest or fees to any Person (other than the Company) in connection with Indebtedness Incurred by such plan or trust.

(2) any net income (or loss) of any Person acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary in a pooling of interests transaction
(or any transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests) for any period prior to the date of such acquisition; 
 (3) any net income of any Restricted Subsidiary if such Restricted Subsidiary is subject to restrictions, directly or indirectly, on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions by such
Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to the Company, except that 
 (A) subject to the exclusion
contained in clause (4) below, the Company’s equity in the net income of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash that could have been distributed
by such Restricted Subsidiary during such period to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution paid to another Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation
contained in this clause); and 
 (B) the Company’s equity in a net loss of any such Restricted Subsidiary
for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income to the extent actually funded in cash; 
 (4) any gain (or loss) realized upon the sale or other disposition of any assets of the Company, its consolidated Subsidiaries or any other Person (including pursuant to any sale-and-leaseback
arrangement) which is not sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business and any gain (or loss) realized upon the sale or other disposition of any Capital Stock of any Person;

reserve for cash expenditures in any future period except to the extent such item is subsequently reversed)); 

(10) any net gain or loss resulting from Hedging Obligations (including pursuant to the application of SFAS No. 133);
and 
 (11) any net after-tax income or loss from discontinued operations and any net after-tax gains or losses
on disposal of discontinued operations, 
 in each case, for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of Section 4.04
only, there shall be excluded from Consolidated Net Income any repurchases, repayments or redemptions of Investments, proceeds realized on the sale of Investments or return of capital to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such
repurchases, repayments, redemptions, proceeds or returns increase the amount of Restricted Payments permitted under such Section pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(3)(D).

 ARTICLE 2 
 THE SECURITIES 
 SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the
Securities are set forth in the Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”) which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is
subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Securities set forth in the
Appendix and Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication.
Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature which may be in counterparts. 
 If an
Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security
has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $1,600,000,000 of
5.125% Senior Secured Notes Due 2018 and, at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in such order, in each case upon a written
order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and either an Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original
issue of Securities is to be authenticated and, in the case of an issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.03 and made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably
acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

  
 36 

 SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or
agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a
register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. 

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this
Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails
to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary incorporated or organized within The United
States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent. 
 The Company initially appoints the
Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities. 
 SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in
Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent
(other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall
notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company, Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund.
The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the
money delivered to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.05. Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as
is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders and shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses
of Securityholders. 
 SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall
be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the
requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other
denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. 

  
 37 

 SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the
Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the
Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the
Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing
a Security. 
 Every replacement Security is an additional Obligation of the Company. 

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof
satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 
 If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with
respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date, such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee
shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities. 
 SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for

  
 38 

 
registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Securities to
the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the
extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and
“Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided,
however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or
“Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities. 
 SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Securities. After
the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03 and the registration thereof under the Securities Act, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture, which Securities shall have identical terms
as the Securities issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. All the Securities issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers,
amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 
 With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in a
resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.03 that the Company is relying on to issue
such Additional Securities; and 
 (2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional

will occur. 
 The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 60 days before the

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

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

 (5) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts

 (7) the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if
any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, ISIN, or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities; and 
 (9) if applicable, the conditions precedent to the redemption. 
 At the
Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section. 

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, and subject to Section 3.07, Securities
called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, and subject to Section 3.07, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated
in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date), and such Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee.
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 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and
hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the
Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in
part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall
promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price for, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. 

SECTION 3.07. Company Discretion. Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to a Public Equity Offering, the consummation of such Public Equity Offering).

 SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall promptly
pay the principal of and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent
holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due. 
 The Company shall pay
interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

SECTION 4.02. SEC Reports. Whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the SEC, subject to the next sentence, and provide the Trustee and Securityholders with such annual and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a
U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such reports to be so filed and provided at the times specified for the filings of such reports under such Sections and containing all the information, audit reports and exhibits required for such reports.
If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company shall nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding sentence with the SEC within the time
periods required unless the SEC will not accept such filing. The Company agrees that it shall not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept such filings
for any reason, the Company shall post the reports specified in the preceding sentence on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC. 

At any time that any of the Company’s Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial
information required by the preceding paragraph 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 Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the
Company. 
 The Company shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a).

by the SEC (or any successor 

  
 42 

 
provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders of the Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02 may, at the option of the Company, be
filed by and be those of Parent rather than of the Company; provided, however, that the issuance by Parent of any Indebtedness or Capital Stock shall not be deemed to prevent the Company from exercising its option described in this
paragraph to file and furnish reports, information and other documents of Parent to satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.02. 
 SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness; provided,

duplication, any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness Incurred under clause (3) that is Incurred under clause (6) below (and, without duplication, any successive Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof)) and

(2) Indebtedness owed to and held by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that
(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the obligor thereon, (B) if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and such Indebtedness is held by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations in respect of the Securities and the Guaranties and (C) if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and
such Indebtedness is held by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor or with respect to its
Subsidiary Guaranty;

transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary or was acquired by the Company); provided, however, that on the date of such acquisition and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Company would have
been entitled to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would be higher after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition; 

(6) Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or pursuant to
clause (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 4.03(b) or this clause (6); provided, however, that to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness directly or indirectly Refinances Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Incurred pursuant
to clause (5), such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be Incurred only by such Subsidiary; 
 (7) Hedging
Obligations; 
 (8) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal and surety bonds and completion guarantees
provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

Guarantor of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03 (other than Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clauses (5) and (14) of this Section 4.03(b) or Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(6)
to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness Refinances Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to such clause (5)); provided, however, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Securities,
then the Guarantee thereof shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness being Guaranteed; 
 (11) Purchase Money Indebtedness and any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness, in an aggregate principal amount which, when added together with the amount of Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to this clause (11) and then outstanding, does not exceed 4% of Total Assets; 
 (12)
Physician Support Obligations incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 44

provided, however, that, at the time of such Incurrence, the Company would have been entitled to Incur Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(1) in an amount equal to the Receivables Transaction Amount of such Qualified
Receivables Transaction; 
 (14) Non-Recourse Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal

 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.03, (1) any Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of the Issue Date will be treated as Incurred on the Issue Date under Section 4.03(b)(1), (2) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion
thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described herein, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) at the time of Incurrence and will only be required to
include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses of Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), (3) the Company shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of
Indebtedness described herein and (4) in the case of any Indebtedness initially Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(11), (14) or (16), the Company shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to later reclassify all or any portion of
such Indebtedness as having been Incurred under any other clause of Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b) as long as, at the time of such reclassification, such Indebtedness (or portion thereof) would be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to
such other clause or paragraph. 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar restriction on the Incurrence
of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness Incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, determined on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided,
however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars, covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such
Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being Refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of
the Indebtedness 

  
 45 

 
Refinanced, except to the extent that (1) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in
accordance with the preceding sentence, and (2) the principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being Refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess will be
determined on the date such Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred.

 (F) any encumbrance or restriction on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(G) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness of a
Restricted Subsidiary permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03 (i) if such encumbrance and restriction contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable
to the holders of the Securities than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date (as determined in good faith by the Company) or (ii) if the encumbrances and restrictions are not materially more
disadvantageous to the holders of the Securities than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and either (x) the Company determines that such encumbrance or restriction will not adversely affect the
Company’s ability to make principal and interest payments on the Securities as and when they come due or (y) such encumbrances and restrictions apply only during the continuance of a default in respect of a payment or financial maintenance
covenant relating to such Indebtedness; 

  
 51 

 (H) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to the terms of any agreement or
instrument relating to any Indebtedness of Subsidiary Guarantors or Foreign Subsidiaries to the extent such Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03;

 (I) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other
similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; and 
 (J) applicable law or any applicable
rule, regulation or order; and 
 (2) with respect to clause (c) only, 

(A) any encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary nonassignment provisions in leases governing leasehold
interests to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or the property leased thereunder; and 
 (B) any encumbrance or restriction contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such encumbrance or restriction restricts the transfer of
the property subject to such security agreements or mortgages. 
 SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary
Stock. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of
such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), as determined in good faith by the Company, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; (2) at least 75%
of the consideration thereof received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents; and (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) (A) first, to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any First Lien Obligations), to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase First Lien Obligations (in each case other than
Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; (B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net
Available Cash after application in accordance with clause (A), to the extent the Company elects, to acquire Additional Assets within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; and
(C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B), to make an Offer to the holders 

  
 52 

 
of the Securities (and to holders of other First Lien Obligations designated by the Company) to purchase Securities (and such other First Lien Obligations) pursuant to and subject to the
conditions contained in this Indenture; provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of First Lien Obligations pursuant to clause (A) or (C) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
shall permanently retire such First Lien Obligations and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased, although such requirement to retire First
Lien Obligations and reduce loan commitments shall not be deemed to prohibit the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries from thereafter Incurring Indebtedness otherwise permitted by Section 4.03; provided, however, that, in the
case of clause (B) above a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good
faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided further that if any Acceptable Commitment is later canceled or
terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall be applied pursuant to clause (C) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this Section 4.06(a) except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions which is not applied in accordance with this
Section 4.06(a) exceeds $100,000,000. Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.06(a), such Net Available Cash shall be invested in Temporary Cash Investments or applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit
indebtedness or in any other manner permitted by this Indenture. 
 For the purposes of this Section 4.06(a), the following
are deemed to be cash or cash equivalents: (i) the assumption or discharge of Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company (other than obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock of the Company) or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor) and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness or other liability in connection with such Asset
Disposition; (ii) securities or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the Asset Disposition, to
the extent of the cash received in that conversion; (iii) Additional Assets; and (iv) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value
(as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $250,000,000 and
(y) an amount equal to 3% of Total Assets on the date on which such Designated Noncash Consideration is received (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving
effect to subsequent changes in value). 

  
 53 

 (b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Securities (and other
First Lien Obligations) pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(3)(C), the Company will purchase Securities tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Securities (and such other First Lien Obligations) (the “Offer”) at a purchase price
of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other First Lien Obligations was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect
of such other First Lien Obligations, such other price, not to exceed 100%, as may be provided for by the terms of such other First Lien Obligations) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth
in Section 4.06(c). If the aggregate purchase price of securities tendered exceeds the Net Available Cash allotted to their purchase, the Company shall select the securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in round denominations, which
in the case of the Securities will be denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000. The Company shall not be required to make an Offer to purchase Securities (and other First Lien Obligations) pursuant to this
Section 4.06 if the Net Available Cash available therefor is less than $100,000,000 (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether such an Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any
subsequent Asset Disposition). Upon completion of such an Offer, Net Available Cash shall be deemed to be reduced by the aggregate amount of such Offer. 
 (c) (1) Promptly, and in any event within 10 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and send, by first-class mail to each
Holder, a written notice stating that the Holder may elect to have his Securities purchased by the Company either in whole or in part (subject to prorating as described in Section 4.06(b) in the event the Offer is oversubscribed) in
denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000, at the applicable purchase price. The notice shall specify a purchase date not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (the
“Purchase Date”) and shall contain such information concerning the business of the Company which the Company in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision (which at a minimum will include (A) the most
recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (including audited consolidated financial statements) of the Company, the most recent subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed subsequent to
such Quarterly Report, other than Current Reports describing Asset Dispositions otherwise described in the offering materials (or corresponding successor reports), (B) a description of material developments in the Company’s business
subsequent to the date of the latest of such reports, and (C) if material, appropriate pro forma financial information) and all instructions and materials necessary to tender Securities pursuant to the Offer, together with the
information contained in clause (3). 
 (2) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Offer is
delivered to the Trustee as provided below, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (A) the amount of the Offer (the “Offer Amount”), including information as to any other First Lien Obligations
included in the Offer, (B) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the Asset 

  
 54 

 
Disposition pursuant to which such Offer is being made and (C) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(a) and (b). On such date, the Company shall also
irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in Temporary Cash Investments, maturing on the last day prior to the Purchase Date or on the Purchase
Date if funds are immediately available by open of business, an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section. If the Offer includes other First Lien Obligations, the deposit described in
the preceding sentence may be made with any other paying agent pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions thereof which have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee shall, on the Purchase Date, mail or deliver payment (or cause the delivery of payment) to each
tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Securities delivered by the Company to the Trustee is less than the Offer Amount applicable to the Securities, the Trustee shall deliver the
excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06. 
 (3) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three
Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth
the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in
part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. 
 (4) At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities are to be
accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section. A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the
surrendering Holder. 
 (d) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.06. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of
this Section 4.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or
regulations. 

  
 55 

 SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company will not,
and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5,000,000 unless (1) the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; (2) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $25,000,000, the terms
of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the directors of the Company disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction, if any, have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (1) are
satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors; and (3) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $100,000,000, the Board of Directors shall also have
received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not less favorable to the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit (1) any Permitted Investment (other than a Permitted Investment described in clauses (1), (2) or (15) of the definition
thereof) or Restricted Payment (but, in the case of a Restricted Payment, only to the extent (i) included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(3), or (ii) made pursuant to
Section 4.04(b)(4) through (15)); (2) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans, or
indemnities provided on behalf of employees or directors approved by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company; (3) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business consistent with the past practices of the
Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, but in any event not to exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any one time; (4) the payment of reasonable fees to directors of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries who are not
employees of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (5) any transaction with the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; (6) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; (7) transactions with
customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture that are fair to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries,
in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Company, or are no less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s
length transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliate; (8) any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any renewals or 

  
 56 

 
extensions of any such agreement (so long as such renewals or extensions are not less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect) and the transactions
evidenced thereby; (9) any transaction pursuant to a Qualified Receivables Transaction; (10) any transaction between or among the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary (or entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such
transaction), or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries; (11) the entry into and performance obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of any transaction arising out of, and any payments pursuant to or
for purposes of funding, any agreement or instrument in effect as of or on the Issue Date, as these agreements and instruments may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed or refinanced from time to time in accordance with the other
terms of this Section 4.07 or to the extent not less favorable to the Holders in any material respect; and (12) any purchases by the Company’s Affiliates of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries the majority of which Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is purchased substantially contemporaneously by Persons who are not the Company’s Affiliates; provided that such purchases by the Company’s Affiliates are on the same
terms as such purchases by such Persons who are not the Company’s Affiliates. 
 SECTION 4.08. Limitation on Line of
Business. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, to engage in any business other than a Related Business, except to the extent as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 SECTION 4.09. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right
to require that the Company purchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (b)
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating: 

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such
Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 
 (2) the circumstances and relevant
facts regarding such Change of Control (including information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, in each case after giving effect to such Change of Control); 

  
 57 

 (3) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later
than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and 
 (4) the instructions, as determined by the
Company, consistent with this Section, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased. 
 (c) Holders
electing to have a Security purchased will be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be
entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. 
 (d) On the purchase date, all Securities purchased by the Company under this Section 4.09 shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay the purchase
price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 4.09, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Section 4.09 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional
upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 
 (g) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of
Securities pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial
Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any of its assets or properties (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, in each case whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, securing
any Indebtedness, other than: 

  
 58 

 (1) in the case of any Initial Lien on any Collateral, such Initial Lien if
such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien; and 
 (2) in the case of any Initial Lien on any asset or property not
constituting or required to become Collateral, such Initial Lien if (a) the Securities and the Guaranties are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the
Obligations secured by such Initial Lien, or (b) such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien. 
 Any Lien created for the benefit
of the Holders pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien, which release and
discharge, in the case of any sale of such asset or property, shall not affect any Lien that the Collateral Agent, Trustee or any other authorized representative may have on the proceeds from such sale. 

If the Company or any Guarantor creates any Lien upon any property or assets to secure any First Lien Obligations, it must concurrently
grant a First Lien upon such property or assets as security for the Securities or the applicable Guaranty such that the property or assets subject to such Lien becomes Collateral subject to the First Lien, except to the extent such property or
assets constitutes (a) cash or cash equivalents required to secure only letter of credit obligations under the Credit Agreement or (b) Excluded Stock Collateral and the granting of a First Lien as security for the Securities or the
applicable Guaranty would require the Company to file separate financial statements for any subsidiary with the SEC that the Company would not otherwise be required to file. 
 The Company and the Guarantors will not enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any
Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted by this Indenture, the Securities, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any
property unless (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (1) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.03 and
(2) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to Section 4.10, (b) the net proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection
with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such property and (c) the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 4.06.

  
 59 

 SECTION 4.12. Future Guarantors. The Company shall cause each Domestic Restricted
Subsidiary that Incurs any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(2), (7), (8), (9), (12), (13) or (14) to, and each Foreign Subsidiary that enters into a Guarantee of any Senior
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(2), (7), (8), (9), (12), (13) or (14) and other than a Foreign Subsidiary that Guarantees Senior Indebtedness Incurred by another Foreign
Subsidiary) to, in each case, within 30 Business Days, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will Guarantee payment of the Securities on the same terms and conditions as those set forth
in Article 10 of this Indenture and applicable to the other Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 SECTION 4.13. Compliance
Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of
the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with TIA § 314(a)(4). 
 SECTION 4.14.
Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively
the purpose of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.15. Covenant Suspension. (a) Following the first day (a) the
Securities have achieved Investment Grade Status and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date (as defined below), the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”): Section 4.03, Section 4.04, Section 4.05, Section 4.06, Section 4.07, Section 4.08,
Section 4.11(a)(1), Section 4.11(c) and Section 5.01(a)(3). 
 (b) If at any time the Securities cease to have
such Investment Grade Status or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reversion Date”) and shall be
applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Securities subsequently attain Investment Grade
Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Securities maintain an Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence);
provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Securities or any Guaranty with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless
of whether such 

  
 60 

 
actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the Suspended
Covenants and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 
 (c) On the Reversion Date, all
Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion
Date and after giving effect to the Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or
Section 4.03(b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(4). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as
Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the
amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). 
 (d) The Company shall deliver promptly to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Trustee of any suspension of the Suspended Covenants and any Reversion Date. 
 SECTION 4.16. Impairment of Security Interest. (a) The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any
action which action or omission might reasonably or would (in the good faith determination of the Company) have the result of materially impairing the value of the security interests, taken as a whole, including the lien priority with respect
thereto, with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Holders, including materially impairing the lien priority of the Securities with respect thereto (it being understood that any release pursuant to
Section 11.06 and the incurrence of Permitted Liens shall not be deemed to so materially impair the security interests with respect to the Collateral and any Person that is required to deliver an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel
pursuant to TIA § 314(d) shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as the basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion). 
 (b) At the direction of the Company and without the consent of the Holders, the Collateral Agent or its agent or designee shall from time to time enter into one or more amendments, extensions, renewals,
restatements, supplements or other modifications or replacements to or of the Notes Collateral Documents to: (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein that does not materially adversely affect the interests of the
Holders, (ii) provide for Permitted Liens or Liens otherwise permitted under Section 4.10, (iii) add to the Collateral or (iv) make any other change thereto that does not adversely affect the Holders in any material respect.

 ARTICLE 5 
 SUCCESSOR COMPANY 
 SECTION 5.01. When Company May Merge or Transfer
Assets. (a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

 (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) shall be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and delivered
to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture and shall expressly assume all the obligations of the Company under the applicable Collateral Documents and shall cause
such amendments, supplements and other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral owned by or transferred to the Successor Company,
together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial
Code or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdiction; 
 (2) immediately after
giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such
Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 (3) immediately
after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, (A) the Successor Company would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Successor
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and 

(4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture; 
 provided,
however, that clauses (2) and (3) will not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to the Company (so long as no Capital Stock of
the Company is distributed to any Person) or to another Restricted Subsidiary or (B) the Company merging with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction. 

  
 62 

 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 Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. 
 The Successor Company shall be the successor to the Company and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the applicable
Collateral Documents, and the predecessor Company, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from all obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Collateral Documents and to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities.

 (b) The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or
lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless: 
 (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not such Subsidiary) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary was organized or under the
laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person shall expressly assume, by a Guaranty Agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary, if any, under its
Subsidiary Guaranty and shall expressly assume all the obligations of such Subsidiary under the applicable Collateral Documents and shall cause such amendments, supplements and other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such
jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such Person, together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security
interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdiction; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not apply in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (x) that has been disposed of in its entirety to another Person (other than to Parent, the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company), whether through a
merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or assets or (y) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary, in both cases, if in connection therewith the Company provides an
Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Company will comply with its obligations under Section 4.06 in respect of such disposition; 

  
 63 

 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions on a
pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (3) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such Guaranty Agreement, if any, complies with this Indenture; 
 provided, however, that clause (2) will not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets
to a Subsidiary Guarantor (so long as no Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor is distributed to any Person) or to another Restricted Subsidiary or (B) a Subsidiary Guarantor merging with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose
of reincorporating the Subsidiary Guarantor in another jurisdiction. 
 (c) Parent shall not consolidate with or merge with or
into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless: 
 (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not Parent) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which Parent was organized or under the laws of the United
States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person shall expressly assume, by a Guaranty Agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of Parent, if any, under the Parent Guaranty and shall
expressly assume all the obligations of the Parent under the applicable Collateral Documents and shall cause such amendments, supplements and other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable
law to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such Person, together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdiction; 

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any
Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

 (3) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating

 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

(5) Indebtedness of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable

 (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 

  
 65 

 (7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary
case; 
 (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its
property; or 
 (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

 or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for
60 days; 
 (8) any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of $125,000,000 or its foreign
currency equivalent at the time (other than a judgment or decree covered by indemnities or insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy companies to the extent coverage has not been disclaimed) is entered against the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary, remains outstanding for a period of 60 consecutive days following the entry of such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or stayed; 

(9) any Guaranty ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guaranty) or any
Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guaranty; 
 (10) (a) any Lien created by the Notes
Collateral Documents relating to the Securities and/or the Guaranties shall not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby with an aggregate fair market value, with respect to all such Liens
taken together, greater than $50.0 million (to the extent perfection is required by this Indenture or the Notes Collateral Documents), except as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture or the relevant Notes Collateral Documents and other

enforceability of any Notes Collateral Document shall be contested by the Company or any Guarantor, except in each case to the extent that any such invalidity or loss of perfection or termination results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to

renewals and continuations (or other equivalent filings) or take other appropriate action or the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates, instruments or other
documents actually delivered to it representing securities pledged or other possessory collateral pledged under the applicable Notes Collateral Documents; or 
 (11) so long as any other First Lien Obligations are outstanding, the Intercreditor Agreement shall cease to be effective or cease to be legally valid and binding, or otherwise not be effective to create
the rights and obligations purported to be created thereunder, unless the same (a) results directly from the action or inaction of the Collateral Agent or (b) is not materially adverse to the Holders. 

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or
involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of
debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default under clause (4) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of the Default
and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. 

In the event of any Event of Default under clause (5), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any
resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Securityholders, if within 20 Business Days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving
rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Securities be annulled, waived or rescinded
upon the happening of any such events. 
 In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries had previously
taken an action (or failed to take an action) that was prohibited (or required) by this Indenture solely because of the continuance of a Default (the “Initial Default”), then upon the cure or waiver of the Initial Default, any Default or
Event of Default arising from the taking of such action (or failure to take such action) and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment Default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Securities) shall be annulled, waived and
rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders. 

  
 67 

 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof,
written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (5), (9), (10) or (11) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under
clause (4) or (8), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION
6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall
be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due
and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect
any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No
remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except (a) a Default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on a Security, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Security when required pursuant to this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be
amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 

  
 68 

 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that
the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against
all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to
enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Securityholder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to
pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity 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) the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
 A
Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. In the event that the Definitive Securities are not issued to any beneficial owner
promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the Holder of a Global Security to issue such Definitive Securities to such beneficial owner or its nominee, the Company expressly agrees and acknowledges, with respect to the right of any
Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to this Indenture, the right of such beneficial holder of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents such beneficial holder’s Securities as if such
Definitive Securities had been issued. 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 69 

 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest
to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its
creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

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

SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: to the Company. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Securityholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by
the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities. 

  
 70 

 SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may
lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 7

 TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (1) the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does
not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 

  
 71 

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

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may rely 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 acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute wilful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture
and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must
comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

  
 72 

 SECTION 7.04. Disclaimer. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be
responsible for and neither of them makes any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities or the Notes Collateral Documents, neither of them shall be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the
Securities, and neither of them shall be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities or any Notes Collateral Document, other than the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs, is continuing and
is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder and to the Collateral Agent notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security
(including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Security, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is not
opposed to the interests of the Securityholders. 
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as
practicable after each August 15, beginning with the August 15 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to October 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of
August 15 that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). 
 A copy
of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on
any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to
the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) Incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The
Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own wilful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

  
 73 

 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities. 

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee Incurs
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such Holders
do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the
Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of
its succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

  
 74 

 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor
Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation, without any further act, shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by
merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the
name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificates of the
Trustee shall have.

provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the

 ARTICLE 8 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. (a) When (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant
to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the mailing of an unconditional notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3
hereof and, in the case of clause (2), the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other
than Securities 

  
 75 

 
replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease
to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.

 (b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the
Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.16 and the operation of Sections 6.01(5), 6.01(6),
6.01(7), 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(6) and (7), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Guarantors) and the limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(3) (“covenant defeasance
option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 
 If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance
option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6) or 6.01(7) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(4), (5) and (6), with respect only to Significant
Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Guarantors) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(3). If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the Liens, as they pertain to the
Securities and the Guaranties, will be released and the Company and each Guarantor, as applicable, shall be released from all of their respective obligations with respect to the Guaranties and, to the extent pertaining to the Securities and the
Guaranties, the Notes Collateral Documents. 
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the
Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the
Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive. 
 SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The
Company shall be entitled to exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if: 

(1) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment
of principal of and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Company
delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the

  
 76 

 
deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when
due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (3) 123 days pass after the
deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 

(4) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 

(5) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does
not constitute, nor is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 

(6) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case
to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had not occurred; 
 (7) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Securityholders 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;

 (8) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the jurisdiction of organization of the
Company (if other than the United States) to the effect that Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for income tax purposes of such jurisdiction as a result of such deposit and defeasance, and will be subject to income tax of such
jurisdiction on the same amounts, and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance, had not occurred; and 
 (9) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as
contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with. 

  
 77 

 Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article 3. 
 SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money.
The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in
accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. 
 SECTION 8.04. Repayment to
Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or Securities held by them at any time. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors. 
 SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S.
Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.06.
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, each Guaranty and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if
the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or
U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENTS 

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent may
amend this Indenture, the Securities or the Notes Collateral Documents without notice to or consent of any Securityholder: 

  
 78 

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

 (2) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company or any
Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 and the Notes Collateral Documents; 
 (3) to provide for uncertificated
Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that the uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the
uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; 
 (4) to add Guarantees with
respect to the Securities, including any Subsidiary Guaranties; 
 (5) to add to the covenants of
the Company or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor; 
 (6) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Securities; 
 (7) to comply with any requirement of the SEC as a result of the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (8) to make changes of a technical or conforming nature that are necessary (as determined in good faith by the Company) for the proper issuance of Additional Securities otherwise permitted to be issued
under this Indenture; 
 (9) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture or
the Notes Collateral Documents of a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable requirements hereof or thereof or to provide for the accession by such successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, to the Securities, the
Guaranties, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents; 
 (10) to conform the text of this Indenture, the
Securities, the Notes Collateral Documents and the Guaranties to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” contained in the Prospectus Supplement to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
provision of this Indenture, the Securities, the Notes Collateral Documents and the Guaranties; 
 (11) to add
additional assets as Collateral or to release any Collateral from the Liens securing the Securities, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents, as and when permitted or required by this Indenture and the
Notes Collateral Documents; or 

  
 79 

 (12) to the extent necessary to provide for the granting of a security
interest for the benefit of any Person; provided that the granting of such security interest is not prohibited under Section 4.16 or otherwise under this Indenture. 
 After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or
any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent
of Holders. The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent may amend this Indenture, the Securities or the Notes Collateral Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. However, without the consent of 
 (a)
each Securityholder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not: 
 (1) reduce the amount of Securities
whose Holders must consent to an amendment; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest
on any Security; 
 (3) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security; 

(4) change the provisions applicable to the redemption of any Security contained in Article 3 hereto or
paragraph 5 of the Securities; 
 (5) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the
Security; 
 (6) make any changes in the ranking or priority of any Security that would adversely affect the
Securityholders; 
 (7) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section;

 (8) make any change in the ranking or priority of any Securities that would adversely affect the
Securityholders; or 
 (9) make any change in, or release other than in accordance with this Indenture, any
Guaranty that would adversely affect the Securityholders; and 

  
 80 

 (b ) the holders of at least two-thirds in principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities), an amendment or waiver may not: 
 (1) subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted by this Indenture or the Notes Collateral Documents; or

 (2) modify the Intercreditor Agreement in any manner materially adverse to the Securityholders, except as
otherwise permitted by this Indenture or the Notes Collateral Documents. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or
any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section. 
 SECTION 9.03. Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall
bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment
or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or
permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those
Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more
than 120 days after such record date. 
 SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment changes the
terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security 

  
 81 

 
regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the
amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or
cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any Notes Collateral
Document unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTIES 

SECTION 10.01. Guaranties. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a
primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder, the Trustee and the other Notes Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (a) the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest (including interest accruing
during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Securities when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption, upon
one or more dates set for prepayments or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the Notes Collateral Documents and the Securities and (b) the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of
the Company and each Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes Collateral Documents and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Obligation and hereby waives any provision of applicable law to the contrary that may be waived by such Guarantor. 

  
 82 

 Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company or
any other Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligation, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary
Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture,
the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against
any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 10.06, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had
by the Collateral Agent, any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent, any Holder or the Trustee in favor of the Company or any other person. 

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject
to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Collateral Agent, any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, the Securities, the Notes Collateral Documents or any other
agreement, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of any thereof, (iii) the release of, or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien on or security interest in,
any security held by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them, (iv) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations or (v) any other act or
omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations)). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Collateral Agent to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the
Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion or to release or substitute
any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. 

  
 83 

 Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent, any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any
Guarantor or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Collateral Agent,
any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company or any other Guarantor to pay any Guaranteed Obligation owed by such party when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, promptly upon receipt of written demand by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Holders, the Trustee or
Collateral Agent in cash an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all
other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Collateral Agent, the Holders or the Trustee. 
 Each Guarantor
agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all such Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and
the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed
Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) Incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this
Section. 
 SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor,
voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

  
 84 

 SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon
each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder, the Collateral
Agent or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

 SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the
Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by
statute or otherwise. 
 SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

SECTION 10.06. Release of Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor will be released (and, in the case of clause (5) and (8), Parent
will be released) from its obligations under this Article 10 (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07): 
 (1) upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest, or other exercise of remedies by a holder of Indebtedness of the Company or of such Guarantor) or
other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor, including the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, 

(2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, 

(3) upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture or at any time as such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, including, without limitation, if such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company, 

(4) at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any other Indebtedness outstanding that would have required
such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 4.12, except as a result of a 

  
 85 

 
payment in respect of such other Indebtedness, and the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that no such Indebtedness is outstanding and that the Company
elects to have such Guarantor released from this Article 10, 
 (5) upon defeasance of the Securities pursuant to
Article 8, 
 (6) the transfer or sale of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to an
enforcement action in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, 
 (7) upon the release or
discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Credit Agreement, except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under such guarantee; provided that, immediately following the release of such Subsidiary Guaranty (and after
giving effect to any substantially contemporaneous release or discharge of guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of other Indebtedness), the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor would meet the requirements for release under clause (4) of this
Section 10.06, or 
 (8) upon the full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture;

 provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other
disposition is made to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture and (iii) the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the
Trustee to the effect that the Company will comply with its obligations under Section 4.06. 
 At the request of the Company, the Trustee
shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. 
 SECTION 10.07. Contribution. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other
Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

ARTICLE 11 

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY 
 SECTION 11.01. The Collateral Agent. (a) By accepting a Security, each Holder is deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Collateral Agent to act as its agent under the Notes Collateral
Documents and irrevocably authorized the Collateral Agent to (i) perform the duties and exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are 

  
 86 

 
specifically given to it under the Notes Collateral Documents or other documents to which it is a party, together with any other incidental rights, powers and discretions, and (ii) execute
each document expressed to be executed by the Collateral Agent on its behalf. The Holders may not take any direct action to enforce the Notes Collateral Documents. The Holders may only act by instruction to the Trustee, which shall instruct the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent will have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Notes Collateral Documents to which it is party. The Collateral Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. The Collateral Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: 
 (1) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an event of default has occurred and is continuing; 

(2) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the Collateral Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its
counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Collateral Document or applicable law; 
 (3) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Company or any of its affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 
 (4) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (a) with the consent or at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or (b) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct or (c) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of Parent or the Company stating that such action is permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any event of default under any series of First Lien Obligations unless and until written notice describing such event of default is given to the Collateral Agent by the Authorized Representative of such First Lien Obligations or
Parent or the Company; and 

  
 87 

 (5) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder
or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any event of default, (d) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Intercreditor Agreement, any other Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral
Documents, (e) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any series of First Lien Obligations, or (f) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any First Lien Debt Document or Collateral Document, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent. 
 The use of the term “agent” herein with reference to
the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law other than as a “representative” as such term is used in
Section 9-102(a)(72)(E) of the Uniform Commercial Code. 
 BY ACCEPTING A SECURITY EACH HOLDER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE IRREVOCABLY AGREED TO
THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.01(A) AND SHALL BE BOUND BY THOSE AGREEMENTS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 
 (b) Without limiting the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be subject to such directions as may be properly given it by the Trustee and/or other Authorized Representatives from time to
time in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. Except as directed by the Trustee and/or other Authorized Representatives and as expressly required by this Indenture, the Intercreditor
Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, and in each case subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated: 
 (1) to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any other Person; 
 (2) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien securing the Securities and the Guaranties; or 
 (3) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Liens securing the Securities, the Guaranties or the Notes Collateral Documents or with regard to the Collateral. 

(c) The Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered to appoint one or more co-agents or sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact as it deems
necessary or appropriate in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. 

  
 88 

 (d) The Collateral Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions
of this Article 11 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. 

(e) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, the Collateral Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Company and the Trustee. Upon any such resignation, the Trustee shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Company, to appoint a successor; provided that during the
existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (1), (2), (6) or (7) of Article 6, no consent of the Company shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Trustee and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Holders and the Trustee, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000, or an Affiliate of any such bank that is, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to clause (1), (2), (6) or (7) of Article 6 shall have
occurred and be continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After a Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Article 7 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Collateral Agent. 
 (f) The benefits, protections and indemnities of the Trustee in Sections 7.02, 7.03, 7.07 and 7.09 of this Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandi to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such,
including, without limitation, the rights to receive and rely on Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel, reimbursement and indemnification. 
 (g) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Securities, is deemed to have consented and agreed to the terms of each Notes Collateral Document, as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or
replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture; and authorizes and empowers the Trustee and (through the Intercreditor Agreement) the Applicable Authorized Representative to bind the Holders and other holders
of Pari Passu Debt Obligations as set forth in the applicable Collateral Documents to which they are a party and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent or deemed
consent shall be deemed or construed to represent an amendment or waiver, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities. 

  
 89 

 (h) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence,
genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for
the validity of the title of the Company or any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. 

SECTION 11.02. Acceptance of Notes Collateral Documents. The Trustee and each Securityholder, by accepting the Securities and the
Guaranties, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Notes Collateral Documents, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be for the benefit of all the Securityholders, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the other Secured
Parties, and that the Lien granted in the Collateral Documents relating to the Securities in respect of the Trustee, the Holders and the other Secured Parties is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Notes Collateral Documents
and actions that may be taken thereunder. In the event of conflict between the Intercreditor Agreement, any of the other Notes Collateral Documents and this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control. 

SECTION 11.03. Further Assurances. The Company and the Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, take all actions that may be
required under applicable law, or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and first
priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Notes Collateral Documents. As necessary, or upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, the Company and the Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, execute any and
all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action (including filing Uniform Commercial Code and other financing statements, mortgages and deeds of trust). 

SECTION 11.04. After-Acquired Property. (a) Subject to Section 11.04(b) and the exceptions and limitations in the Notes
Collateral Documents, if the Company or any Guarantor acquires any property which is of a type constituting Collateral under the Collateral Agreement or any other Notes Collateral Document (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded
Assets), it will be required to execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements and such certificates and opinions of counsel and take all other actions as are required under this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents to
vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in such after-acquired property and to have such after-acquired property included as part of the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of the Notes Collateral Documents and this Indenture
relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.04(a), any requirement to mortgage real property that is acquired after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 11.04(a) shall be limited to
real property owned in fee by a Grantor that (i) has a fair market value equal to or exceeding $10,000,000, (ii) is not subject to a Lien 

  
 90 

 
permitted under Section 6.02(c) or (n) of the Credit Agreement (for so long as such Lien exists) and (iii) the Company does not intend to sell within six months of the acquisition
thereof pursuant to clause (i) or (x) of Section 6.05(b) of the Credit Agreement. No appraisals, environmental reports or surveys shall be required to be obtained in connection with any mortgage of real property pursuant to
Section 11.04(a). The Company shall provide such evidence as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority status of each such security interest and Lien. 

SECTION 11.05. Real Property Mortgages. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete or cause to be
completed on or prior to the Issue Date all filings and other similar actions required or desirable on its part in connection with the creation, perfection, protection and/or reaffirmation of such the security interests in favor of the Securities
and the Guaranties. The Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent within 180 days of the Issue Date (or such longer period as the Trustee may agree in its sole discretion) (a) counterparts of amended and restated mortgages securing the
Obligations with respect to the Securities and the Guaranties, duly executed and delivered by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor that is the record owner of each applicable Mortgaged Property and otherwise suitable for recording and in form and
substance sufficient to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties a valid mortgage lien on such real property, (b) title searches confirming that there are no Liens of record in violation of the applicable
mortgage, (c) modification and date down endorsements to the existing title insurance policies, or new policies, to the extent such endorsements are not available and (d) local counsel opinions, and any other documents reasonably requested
by the Collateral Agent in respect of the amended and restated mortgages. 
 SECTION 11.06. Release. The Liens on the
Collateral will be released with respect to the Securities and the Guaranties: 
 (1) in whole, upon payment in
full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, on, the Securities; 
 (2) in
whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as described under Article 8; 
 (3) in whole, upon a
legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as described under Article 8; 
 (4) in part, as to any property or asset
constituting Collateral (A) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or deemed disposed of in a transaction permitted by Section 4.06, (B) that is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released
from its Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture or (C) otherwise in accordance with, and as expressly provided for under, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents; 

(5) as permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement; 

  
 91 

 (6) with respect to any particular item of Collateral, upon release by the
Collateral Agent of the liens on such item of Collateral securing the Credit Agreement Obligations and the substantially concurrent release of the liens on such item of Collateral securing any other First Lien Obligations (other than the
Securities); provided, however, that there is then outstanding under the Credit Agreement aggregate debt and debt commitments in an amount that exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities; provided, further, however
that this clause (6) shall not apply with respect to a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral; 
 (7) to the extent any particular item of Collateral becomes an Excluded Asset; or 
 (8) as permitted under Article 9. 
 Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral in
compliance with this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents, the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on such Collateral and (subject to the provisions of Section 11.04) all proceeds thereof shall automatically terminate and be released
and the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver such documents and instruments as the Company and the Guarantors may request to evidence such termination and release (without recourse or warranty) without the consent of the Securityholders.

 To the extent required by law, the Company will furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, prior to each proposed
release of Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and such other documentation as is required by the Indenture. 

To the extent required by law, the Company will cause TIA §313(b), relating to reports, TIA §314(b), relating to evidence of
recording of indenture, and TIA §314(d), relating to the release of property or securities or relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien of the Collateral Documents, to be complied with. Any
certificate or opinion required by TIA §314(d) may be made by an Officer 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 engineer, appraiser
or other expert selected or reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. To the extent the Company is required to furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to TIA § 314(b)(2), the Company shall furnish such opinion not more than 60 but
not less than 30 days prior to each September 30. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company 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 the released Collateral. 

  
 92

following: 
  

	 	(a)	cash payments (including for the scheduled repayment of Indebtedness) in the ordinary course of business; 

 

	 	(b)	sales or other dispositions of inventory in the ordinary course of business;

	 	(d)	sales or other dispositions in the ordinary course of business of any property the use of which is no longer necessary or desirable in, and is not material to, the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries; 

 provided, however, the Company’s right to rely on the above
will be conditioned upon the Company’s delivering to the Trustee, within 30 calendar days following the end of each six-month period beginning on February 15 and August 15 of any year, an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that
all releases during such six-month period in respect of which the Company did not comply with TIA §314(d) in reliance on the above were made in the ordinary course of business. 

SECTION 11.07. Enforcement of Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any enforcement of the Guaranties or any
remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Notes Collateral Documents is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 2. The Securities. 
 2.1 
 (a) Form and Dating. The Securities issued on the Issue Date will be
offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement. Securities issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Security Legend and the “Schedule of Increases or
Decreases in the Global Security” attached thereto). Securities issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Security Legend and without the “Schedule of Increases or

principal amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges
and redemptions. Additional Securities offered after the Issue Date may be transferred by the holders thereof in accordance with applicable law. 
 Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee, the
Depository or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions give by the Securityholder thereof.

 Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository or by the
Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Security, and the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any agent of the Company, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute
owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any agent of the Company, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a
holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security. 
 (c) Definitive Securities. Except as provided in this
Section 2.1 or Section 2.3 or 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Securities. 
 2.2 Authentication. 
 The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver:
(1) on the Issue Date, an aggregate principal amount of $1,600,000,000 of 5.125% Senior Secured Notes Due 2018 and (2) any Additional Securities for an original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in the written order of the

the Company. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and, in the case of any issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to
Section 2.13 of the Indenture, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.03 of the Indenture and made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 

2.3 Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities. When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request: 

 

	 	(x)	to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or 

  
 A-3

	 	(y)	to exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal amount of Definitive Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Definitive Security
may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security, except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an
increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such
Definitive Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities
represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial
interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount. 
 (c)
Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. 
 (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests
therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the
Global Security. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the
Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. 
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is
a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which
such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global
Security from which such interest is being transferred.

any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

 (e) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Security. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time
prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for certificated Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an
adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities Custodian for such Global Security) with respect to such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

 (f) No Obligation of the Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the

transfer complies with Section 2.3 hereof and (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security and the Depository fails to appoint a successor depository or if at any
time such Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, in either case, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (ii) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Securities under the Indenture.

the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Security transferred pursuant
to this Section 2.4 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any greater integral multiple of $1,000 and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(b) hereof, the registered Holder of a Global Security shall be entitled to grant
proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Securities.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY] 

5.125% Senior Secured Note Due 2018 
 Interest 
 CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such
corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company
will pay interest semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2013. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
from August 17, 2012. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security plus 1.0% per annum, and it will pay interest on
overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Method of Payment 

The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the
close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent
to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a
Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including
principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the
payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant
due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
 Paying Agent and Registrar 

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

 Indenture 
 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of August 17, 2012 (“Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. 

The Securities are senior secured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with
Section 4.03 of the Indenture and the registration thereof under the Securities Act, to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture. The Securities issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Securities will be
treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase
capital stock; make investments; issue or sell capital stock of subsidiaries; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; transfer or sell assets; guarantee indebtedness; restrict dividends or other payments of subsidiaries;
consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries; engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and impair the security interest in favor of the Securities. These covenants are subject to important
exceptions and qualifications. 
 Optional Redemption 
 Except as set forth below, the Company shall not be entitled to redeem the Securities at its option prior to August 15, 2015. 
 On and after August 15, 2015, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption
prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount, on the redemption date) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to 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), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of the years set forth below: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Redemption
Price	 
	 2015
	  	 	102.563	% 
	 2016
	  	 	101.281	% 
	 2017 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 In addition, prior to August 15, 2015, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or more
occasions to redeem Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at
a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 105.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date), with the Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Public Equity Offerings (provided that if 

  
 6 

 
the Public Equity Offering is an offering by Parent, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to redeem any such Securities is contributed to the equity capital of
the Company); provided, however, that (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Securities originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Securities held,
directly or indirectly, by the Company or its Subsidiaries); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 180 days after the date of the related Public Equity Offering. 

Prior to August 15, 2015, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities at a redemption
price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The Company shall cause notice of such redemption to be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, not less than 30 or more than 60 days prior to the redemption
date. 
 Notice of Redemption 
 Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his registered address. Securities in denominations
larger than $2,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date
is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 

Any optional redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more
conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to a Public Equity Offering, the consummation of such Public Equity Offering). 
 Put Provisions 
 Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will
have the right to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

Guaranty; Security 
 The
payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is (1) fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by each of the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture and
(2) secured by the Collateral as more fully set forth in the Notes Collateral Documents. 

  
 7 

 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any greater integral multiple of
$1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any
Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 

Persons Deemed Owners 

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

Unclaimed Money 
 If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment,
Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 
 Discharge and Defeasance 

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

Amendment; Waiver 

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (1) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities and (2) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount outstanding of the Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend or supplement the Indenture or the
Securities to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, or in certain cases to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents, or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in
place of certificated Securities, or to add guarantees with respect to the Securities, including Guaranties, or to add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or the Guarantors, or to comply with any requirement
of the SEC in 

  
 8 

 
connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Act, or to make changes of a technical or conforming nature that are necessary (as determined in good faith by the Company) for the
proper issuance of Additional Securities otherwise permitted to be issued under the Indenture, or to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture or the Notes Collateral Documents of a successor Trustee or Collateral
Agent pursuant to the applicable requirements therefore or to provide for the accession by such successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, to the Securities, the Guarantees, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents, or to make
any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder, or to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes Collateral Documents, the Securities and the Subsidiary Guaranties to the “Description of the Notes” contained
in the Prospectus Supplement or to add or release Collateral in certain cases or to grant security interest in certain cases. 
 Defaults and
Remedies 
 Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the
Securities; (b) default in payment of principal on the Securities at maturity, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, upon acceleration or otherwise, or failure by the Company to purchase Securities when required;
(c) failure by the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay
within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company and Significant Subsidiaries if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $125,000,000; (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the
Company and the Significant Subsidiaries; (f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $125,000,000; (g) certain defaults with respect to Guaranties, (h) certain Liens become impaired and (i) the
Intercreditor Agreement ceasing to be effective. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable
immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 

Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce
the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

 Trustee Dealings with the Company 

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

 No Recourse Against Others 
 A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities, the Indenture or any Notes
Collateral Document, or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation (other than pursuant to any Guaranty or Notes Collateral Document). By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
 Authentication 

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

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT
(=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
 CUSIP Numbers 
 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is made
as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
