applicable interest rate floor under the existing Term Loan Facility, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin
under the existing Term Loan Facility shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing Term Loan Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the

(a) Notice of Term Loan Borrowings. To request the advance of the Borrowing of Term Loans on the Funding Date, the Borrower shall give
notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with Section 2.3(c), by no later than (i) 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the Funding Date in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans and (ii) 12:00
P.M. on the Funding Date in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Term Loans. 
 (b) Notice of Continuation or Conversion of Outstanding
Borrowings. The Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Term Loan Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirements in Section 2.2 for each outstanding Term Loan Borrowing, a
portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Term Loans, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Term Loans for an Interest Period specified by it or convert part or all of such Borrowing
into Base Rate Term Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the Borrower may earlier convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Term Loans so long as it pays the breakage fees and funding losses provided in
Section 2.11; and (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Term Loans, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Term Loans for an Interest Period specified by it on any Business Day, in each case pursuant to
notices of continuation or conversion as set forth below. The Borrower may select multiple Interest Periods for the Eurodollar Term Loans requested in any single Borrowing Request, provided that at no time shall the number of different
Interest Periods for outstanding Eurodollar Term Loans exceed twenty (20) (it being understood for such purposes that (x) Interest Periods of the same duration, but commencing on different dates, shall be counted as different Interest
Periods, and (y) all Interest Periods commencing on the same date and of the same duration shall be counted as one Interest Period regardless of the number of Borrowings or Loans involved). Notices of the continuation of such Eurodollar Term
Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of such Eurodollar Term Loans into Base Rate Term Loans or of such Base Rate Term Loans into Eurodollar Term Loans must be given by no later than (A) 12:00 P.M. at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such continuation of, or conversion to, Eurodollar Term Loans and (B) 12:00 P.M. on the date of any conversion of Eurodollar Term Loans to Base Rate Term Loans. 

(c) Manner of Notice. The Borrower shall give such notices concerning the advance, continuation, or conversion of a Borrowing described
in Sections 2.3(a) and (b), as applicable, by telephone, facsimile or email (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing) pursuant to a Borrowing Request, which shall specify the date of
the requested advance, continuation or conversion (which shall be a 

  
 51 

 
Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is to be advanced, continued, or converted, the Type of Term Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted
Borrowing, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Term Loans and the Interest Period applicable thereto and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, facsimile or email notice given
by any Person it in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation and that, if any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice
shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon. 
 (d) Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
give prompt telephonic, email or facsimile notice to each Lender of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 2.3 relating to a Term Loan Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like
means of the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans of the Borrower (but, if such notice is given by telephone, the Administrative Agent shall confirm such rate in writing) promptly after the Administrative Agent has
made such determination. 
 (e) Failure to Notify. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or
(b) of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the
Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans that it intends to repay such Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the continuation of such Borrowing as a Eurodollar Term Loan with an Interest Period of one
(1) month so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Borrowing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon written notice thereof from the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower (i) each Eurodollar Term Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Term Loan, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make,
continue or convert Loans into Eurodollar Term Loans shall be suspended. 
 (f) Conversion. If the Borrower shall elect to convert
any particular Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 from one Type of Term Loan to the other only in part, then, from and after the date on which such conversion shall be effective, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this
Agreement (including, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence) be deemed to instead constitute two Borrowings (each originally advanced on the same date as such particular Borrowing), one comprised of (subject to subsequent
conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurodollar Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Eurodollar Term Loans and the second comprised of (subject to
subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Base Rate Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Base Rate Term Loans. If the Borrower
shall elect to have multiple Interest Periods apply to any such particular Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Term Loans, then, from and after the date such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this
Agreement (including, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally 

  
 52 

 
commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected, each such deemed separate Borrowing
corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurodollar Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so
elected by the Borrower to have such Interest Period. This Section 2.3(f) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Borrower shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same
particular Borrowing. 
 Section 2.4. Interest Periods. As provided in Section 2.3, at the time of each request for a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans, or for the continuation or conversion of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans, the Borrower shall select the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Term Loans from among the available options, subject to
the limitations in Section 2.3; provided, however, that: 
 (a) no Interest Period may be selected that would end later
than the Maturity Date; 
 (b) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last
day of such Interest Period shall extended be to the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day; and 
 (c) for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar
month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period
begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end. 

Section 2.5. Funding of Term Loans. 

(a) Disbursement of Term Loans. Not later than 12:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings of Eurodollar Term Loans, and 2:00 P.M. with
respect to Borrowings of Base Rate Term Loans, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Term Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office its Term
Loan comprising its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly make the proceeds of each such Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the Borrower (or as directed in writing by the Borrower) on such date. In the event that any Lender does not make such amounts
available to the Administrative Agent by the time prescribed above, but such amount is received later that day, such amount shall nevertheless be promptly credited to the Borrower in the manner described in the preceding sentence (and if such credit
is made on the next Business Day, with interest on such amount to begin accruing hereunder on such next Business Day); provided that 

  
 53 

 
acceptance by the Borrower of any such late amount shall not be deemed a waiver by the Borrower of any rights it may have against such Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for
any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing. 

(b) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the
time at which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Term Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and in reliance upon such assumption may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Term Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact
made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon for each day during the period
commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for such
amount. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Term Loan attributable to such Lender with interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Term Loan, but the Borrower will in no event be liable to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.11 in respect of such repayment. Nothing in this
Section shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from any obligation to fund any Term Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 

(c) Source of Funding Options. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or
domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 2.6. Applicable Interest Rates. 

(a) Base Rate Term Loans. Each Base Rate Term Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the
case may be, and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a
Eurodollar Term Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or (ii) the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest
Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 
 (b) Eurodollar Term Loans. Each Eurodollar Term
Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such

  
 54 

 
Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Base Rate Term Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or
(ii) the sum of Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or, in the case of , conversion to a
Base Rate Term Loan on a day prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, on the date of such conversion. 
 (c) Rate
Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR, LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Market Index Rate, or any
applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.7, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of the Administrative Agent’s manifest error or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give
notice to the Borrower and each Lender of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR with respect to each Eurodollar Term Loan. 

Section 2.7. Default Rate. If any payment of principal on any Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period
therefor provided in Section 8.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), such past due Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period
expires until such principal then due is paid in full, which the Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to: 
 (a) for
any Base Rate Term Loan, the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment
was due) plus the Applicable Margin; and 
 (b) for any Eurodollar Term Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate and
(ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the rate of interest (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Loan and, thereafter, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Term
Loans. 
 It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them. Accordingly,
if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America, including to the extent applicable, 46 U.S.C.
Section 31322(b)), and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in
that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such
Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall
be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans (or, if the principal amount of the Loans 

  
 55 

 
shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders
thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the
Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if
theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans (or if the principal amount of the Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). 

Section 2.8. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, in equal quarterly installments, which shall be due and payable on last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2014, an amount of 0.25% of aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans
outstanding on the Funding Date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.9 and Section 2.10), with the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans due and payable on the Maturity Date (each such date of repayment, including
the Maturity Date, being called a “Repayment Date”). All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be subject to Section 2.11, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. 

(b) Record of Loans by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made to the Borrower by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and accrued interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) Record of Loans by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and, with respect to Eurodollar Term Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or accrued interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d) Evidence of Obligations. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) or (c) shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Term Loan Notes. The Term Loans
outstanding to the Borrower from any Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.8A (each, a “Term Loan
Note”). The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit 

  
 56 

 
of each Lender requesting a Term Loan Note, an original of each such Term Loan Note, appropriately completed, to evidence the respective Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower hereunder,
within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives a written request therefor (or such longer period of time as such Lender may reasonably agree). 

Section 2.9. Optional Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Base Rate Term Loans without premium
or penalty, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the
Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of such prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Eurodollar Term Loans, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part (but, if in part,
then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or such smaller amount as needed to prepay any particular Borrowing in full) subject to any breakage fees and funding losses
that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11, with respect to any such prepayment on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of the applicable Term Loan; provided, however, that the Borrower shall
have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the proposed prepayment date (or such shorter period as may be reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent in
its sole discretion). A notice delivered under this Section 2.9 may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of one or more securities offerings, in which case such notice shall be deemed rescinded if such
condition shall fail to be satisfied by the proposed prepayment date; provided, that upon any such rescission, the Borrower shall be liable for any breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Funding Date, the Borrower (i) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces all or any portion of the Term Loans with the incurrence by the Parent, the Borrower or
any Restricted Subsidiary of any debt financing having an applicable All-in Yield that is less than the effective All-in Yield of the Loans being repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement
resulting in the Loans having an applicable All-in Yield that is less than the effective All-in Yield of the Loans immediately prior to such amendment, then each Lender shall be paid (1) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium equal to
1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such Loans so repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (2) in the case of clause (ii), a fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Loans outstanding immediately prior
to such amendment. Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, with respect to any Eurodollar Revolving Loans, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Optional prepayments
shall be applied to the Loans then outstanding in the order specified by the Borrower. 
 Section 2.10. Mandatory Prepayments of
Loans/Offers to Prepay. 
 (a) Issuance and Incurrence of Indebtedness. In the event that the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary
shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or Incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary not permitted to be issued or Incurred pursuant to Section 7.3, the Parent shall cause the Borrower
or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to, no later than five (5) Business Day following such receipt, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans. 

  
 57 

 (b) Asset Sales; Casualty Events. No later than the fifth (5th) Business Days following the date of receipt (or the date on which such amounts become Net Cash Proceeds by virtue of the expiration of a Reinvestment Period) by the Parent or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event, the Parent shall cause the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to apply an amount equal to (i) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in
respect of any Asset Sale and (ii) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $30,000,000 in respect of any Casualty Event, to prepay outstanding Loans. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Parent or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds temporarily to reduce the Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited hereunder. 

(c) Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control occurs, the Borrower shall no later than the date which is thirty
(30) Business Days after the occurrence of such Change of Control deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender) stating that a Change of Control has occurred and offering to
prepay the Loans held by each Lender at par (each a “Change of Control Offer”) on a date which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (the
“Change of Control Prepayment Date”). Such notice shall also state that the Lenders electing to have any Lender prepaid pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to notify the Administrative Agent prior to the close of
business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date and that Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their election to require the Borrower to prepay its Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent receives, not later than
the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission, electronic mail or letter setting forth the name of such Lender, the principal amount of Loans to be prepaid and a statement that such Lender is
withdrawing its election to have such Loans prepaid. If any Lender accepts such offer or a portion thereof, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans of such Lender in whole or in part at the discretion of such Lender on the Change of Control Prepayment
Date. The Borrower will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth
herein and prepays the Loans of each Lender accepting such Change of Control Offer at par on the Change of Control Prepayment Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a
Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 

  
 58 

 (d) Excess Cash Flow. 

(i) If, after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with the year ending December 31, 2014), Excess Cash Flow is greater than
$10,000,000, the Parent shall prepay the outstanding Loans no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following its delivery of the Compliance Certificate for such fiscal year, in an amount
as set forth below: 
 (A) an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio as of the
last day of such fiscal year equals or exceeds 3.25:1.0, and 
 (B) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 25% of Excess
Cash Flow for such fiscal year and (B) the amount of a prepayment necessary to lower the Leverage Ratio to no greater than 3.00:1.00 if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is greater than 3.00:1.0 but less than 3.25:1.0;

 provided that such amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) above shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of term
loans (including the Loans) during such fiscal year and all optional prepayments of loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement accompanied by permanent reductions in the Revolving Commitments during such fiscal year. 

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year in respect of which such certificate has been delivered is equal to or
less than 3.00:1.00, no prepayment with Excess Cash Flow will be required. 
 (e) All prepayments of Loans under Sections 2.10(a), (b),
(c) and (d) shall be accompanied by the concurrent payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 

(f) The Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, at the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.10(a),
(b) or (d) a certificate of an Officer of the Parent setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment. 

(g) All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.11. 

Section 2.11. Breakage Fees. If any Lender incurs any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits and other
indirect or consequential damages) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Term Loan as a result of any of the following events other than any such
occurrence as a result of a change of circumstance described in Sections 9.1 or 9.2: 
 (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any
such Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise); 
 (b) any
failure to make a principal payment of any such Loan on the due date therefor; or 
 (c) any failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue or
prepay, or convert to, any such Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.9, as applicable (other than by reason of a default of such Lender), 

then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such
a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the 

  
 59 

 
amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than ninety (90) days after
the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error of such Lender’s entitlement thereto. Within ten (10) days of receipt of such
certificate, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such amount as will compensate such Lender for such loss, cost or expense as provided in such certificate, unless such Lender has failed to timely give notice to the Borrower of such claim
for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay such claim. 
 Section 2.12.
Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Funding Date and any unused Commitments shall expire at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date. 

Section 2.13. [Intentionally Omitted]. 

Section 2.14. Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries
may at any time and from time to time purchase Term Loans by conducting reverse Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) (each Auction to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent or another investment bank of recognized
standing elected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Auction Procedures (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: 

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any
Auction; 
 (ii) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that the Parent, the Borrower or any
of the Parent’s Subsidiaries purchases in any such Auction shall be no less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent and Auction Manager); 

(iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Parent, the Borrower or any
of the Parent’s Subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired by them on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold); 

(iv) the Borrower shall promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the total amount of all Term Loans so purchased by the Parent, the
Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect such cancellation and retirement; 

(v) each offer to purchase Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.14 is made ratably to the Lenders; 

  
 60 

 (vi) proceeds of the Revolving Credit Agreement are not used to purchase Term Loans in any such
Auction; and 
 (vii) no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time. 

(b) The Parent, the Borrower and the Parent’s Subsidiaries shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective
Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such
failure shall not result in any Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.14, (i) the Borrower shall pay on the
settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (ii) such
purchases (and the payments made by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case, in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or
prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.9 or 2.10. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the
Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including
Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.1, 11.6, 11.9 and 11.10, it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 2.14 shall not
constitute Investments by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries) that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such
hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article X and Section 11.13 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative
Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction. 

Section 2.15. Open Market Repurchases. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parent, the Borrower and any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries
may at any time and from time to time make open market purchases of Term Loans (each, an “Open Market Purchase”), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the time of such Open Market
Purchase. 
 (b) The aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Parent, the
Borrower and any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired by them on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold). 

  
 61 

 (c) The Borrower will promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the total amount of all Term
Loans purchased by the Parent, the Borrower and any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect such cancellation and retirement. 

(d) With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Parent, the Borrower and any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries pursuant to this
Section 2.15, (i) the Parent, the Borrower and any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of
such purchase (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant purchase document as agreed by the respective selling Lender) and (ii) such purchases (after the payments made by the Parent, the Borrower and any of the Parent’s
Subsidiaries and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.9 or 2.10. 

(e) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Open Market Purchases contemplated by this Section 2.15 and hereby
waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.1, 11.6, 11.9 and 11.10, it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s
Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 2.15 shall not constitute Investments by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries) that may otherwise prohibit any Open Market Purchase by this Section 2.15. 

ARTICLE III 
 FEES AND
PAYMENTS 
 Section 3.1. Fees. 

(a) Administrative Agent and Arrangement Fees. The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent the
administrative agency fees from time to time agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the arrangement fees previously agreed to by the Parent and the Arrangers, in each case, in the manner provided by such other agreements. 

(b) OID. The Borrower agrees to pay a fee to each Lender payable on the Funding Date equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of such
Lender’s Term Loans made on the Funding Date, such fee to be paid in cash on the Funding Date, or if the Lender so elects by giving notice to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Funding Date, as an original
issue discount with respect to such Term Loans made by it. 
 Section 3.2. Place and Application of Payments. 

(a) All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees and other amounts payable by any Credit Party under the Credit
Documents shall be made free and clear of any set-off, counterclaim or defense by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, 

  
 62 

 
for the benefit of the Lenders entitled to such payments, in immediately available funds on the due date thereof no later than 2:00 P.M. in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account or
such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party after the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been
received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent will, on the same day each payment is received or deemed to have been received in accordance with this Section 3.2, cause to be distributed funds to each Lender owed a Term Loan
Obligation for which such payment was received, pro rata based on the respective amounts of such type of Term Loan Obligation then owing to each Lender. 

(b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all Term Loan Obligations
then due and payable under the Credit Documents, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent in the order set forth in Section 8.6. In calculating the amount of Term Loan Obligations
owing each Lender other than for principal and interest on Loans and fees under Section 3.1, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to include such other Term Loan Obligations that Lenders have certified to the Administrative Agent in
writing are due to such Lenders. 
 Section 3.3. Withholding Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law, each payment by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender or
the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes. If any such withholding is so required by law (as determined in good faith by an
applicable withholding agent), the applicable withholding agent shall make the withholding and pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon. Moreover, in the case of
any such present or future Taxes imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is incorporated, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or (in each case) any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, the following Taxes (whether imposed on or with respect to such Lender or Administrative Agent or required to be
withheld or deducted from any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Credit Document): 
 (i) Taxes imposed
on, based upon, or measured by such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s net income, profits, gains, overall revenues or receipts, and branch profits, franchise and similar Taxes imposed on it, in each case, as a result of a present or
former connection between the taxing jurisdiction and such Lender (including any applicable lending office) or Administrative Agent, or any owner or affiliate thereof, as the case may be, other than connections arising from such Lender’s or the
Administrative Agent’s having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced, any
Credit Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Credit Document; 

  
 63 

 (ii) Taxes imposed (other than pursuant to FATCA) by the United States of America (or any
political subdivision thereof or tax authority therein) on or with respect to a Lender or Administrative Agent organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, except to the extent that such tax is imposed as a result of any
Change in Law (x) after the date hereof, in the case of each Lender or Administrative Agent originally a party hereto, (y) in the case of any Purchasing Lender (as defined in Section 11.10(b)) or Administrative Agent, after the date
on which it becomes a Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be (unless such Purchasing Lender acquired its interest following a request by the Parent under Section 9.6) or (z) after the designation by such Lender or
Administrative Agent of a new Lending Office (other than pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) or Section 9.3(c)); 
 (iii) Taxes
imposed by the United States of America pursuant to FATCA on or with respect to a Lender or Administrative Agent organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States; or 

(iv) Taxes which would not have been imposed but for (a) the failure of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
provide on a timely basis (A) the applicable forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, as required pursuant to Section 3.3(b) (unless excused pursuant to Section 3.3(c)), or (B) any other form, certification,
documentation or proof which is reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent, or (b) a determination by a taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction that a form, certification, documentation or other proof provided
by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to establish an exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge is false or not properly completed; 

(all present or future Taxes, other than the Taxes described in the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), “Indemnified
Taxes”), the Borrower shall forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and the Administrative Agent is free and clear of such Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) and is equal to the amount that such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had withholding of any Indemnified Taxes not been made. If the Borrower pays any
such Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing the payment or certified copies thereof, or other evidence of payment if such tax receipts have not yet
been received by the Borrower (with such tax receipts to be delivered within fifteen (15) days after being actually received), to the Lender or the Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) within fifteen (15) days of such payment. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays any Indemnified Taxes which the Borrower has failed to withhold or pay to the appropriate
governmental authority, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or that Lender for the payment in the currency in which such payment was made within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of written demand therefor. Such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall make written demand on the Parent for reimbursement hereunder no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender or the
Administrative Agent makes payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest, and (ii) the date on which the relevant taxing authority or other governmental authority makes written demand upon such Lender or the Administrative Agent for

  
 64 

 
payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest. Any such demand shall describe in reasonable detail such Indemnified Taxes, penalties or interest, including the amount thereof if then
known to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. In the event that such Lender or the Administrative Agent fails to give the Borrower timely notice as provided herein, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim
for reimbursement. In the event that any taxing authority notifies the Borrower that it has improperly failed to withhold any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes) from a payment to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document, the Borrower shall timely and fully pay such Taxes to such taxing authority and such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the amount of such Taxes to the Borrower within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of written demand therefor. If the Borrower is or will be required to pay an additional amount to a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), then such payee shall use reasonable efforts to take requested
measures (including changing the jurisdiction of its Lending Office) so as to reduce or eliminate any such amounts which may thereafter accrue, if such change would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such payee. 

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. 

(i) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of a properly completed and duly executed certification on the applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form) wherein such Lender either (x) claims entitlement
to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be received pursuant to the Credit Documents (as if such payments were U.S. source) or (y) certifies that it is not a United States person, provided,
that, in the case of subclause (y), such Lender also shall submit a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit 3.3 to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Each Lender that delivers a
certificate pursuant to the foregoing subsequently shall deliver two further copies of such certificate on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent certificate so delivered. 
 (ii) Upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is not a
United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent properly completed and duly executed copies of any additional forms of the United States Internal
Revenue Service (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) that the Borrower believe to be reasonably necessary to accomplish exemption from (or a reduced rate of) withholding
obligations under then-applicable United States law or that the Administrative Agent believes to be necessary to facilitate the Administrative Agent’s performance under this Agreement; provided that the submission of such documentation
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(iii) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the
Borrower two copies of a properly completed and duly executed certification on United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 to the effect that it is such a United States person and is exempt from U.S. withholding tax. 

  
 65 

 (c) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender determines in good faith that
(i) it is not legally able to submit to the Borrower or Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender is obligated to submit pursuant to Section 3.3(b), (ii) it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or
certificate previously submitted, or (iii) any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact, and such Lender shall to that extent not
be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable. 

(d) FATCA Compliance. If any payment required to be made to any Lender, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be
subject to Taxes imposed by the United States of America pursuant to FATCA as a result of such Lender failing to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.3(d),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (e) Refund of Taxes. If any Lender
or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of any Indemnified Tax or any tax referred to in Section 11.3, in either case, with respect to which the Borrower has paid any amount pursuant to this Section 3.3 or Section 11.3, such
Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund (including any interest received with respect thereto) to the Borrower within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. A Lender or the Administrative Agent shall provide, at
the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, such assistance as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to obtain such a refund; provided, however, that none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall in any event be required
to disclose any information to the Borrower with respect to the overall tax position (or any other information relating to taxes that such Person reasonably determines to be confidential) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. 

(f) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand
therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Parent has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Parent to do so) and (ii) any
Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or 

  
 66 

 
paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f). 
 (g) FATCA Certification. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) hereby represents and warrants that it is entitled to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA with respect to payments to be received pursuant to any Credit Document
(as if such payments were U.S. source), and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such exemption. In the event that any such Lender ceases to maintain such exemption, it shall promptly so notify the Borrower in writing. 

(h) VAT. 
 (i) All
amounts expressed to be payable under a Credit Document by any party to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (a “Finance
Party”) which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or
becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under a Credit Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at
the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party). 

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party
(the “Recipient”) under a Credit Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Credit Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to
the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration): 
 (1)
(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The
Recipient must (where this clause (h) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT
chargeable on that supply; and 

  
 67 

 (2) where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax
authority for the VAT the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not
entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. 
 (iii) Where a Credit Document requires any party
to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to
the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 

(iv) Any reference in this clause (h) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT
purposes, including (where appropriate and unless context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the UK Value Added Tax Act
1994). 
 (v) In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any party under a Credit Document, if reasonably requested by such
Finance Party, that party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in
relation to such supply. 
 (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

 ARTICLE V 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Parent and the Borrower represent and warrant to each Lender and Administrative Agent, which representations and warranties shall be
deemed made on the Funding Date, as follows: 
 Section 5.1. Corporate Organization. Each Credit Party: (i) is duly
incorporated or organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation (to the extent the concept of good standing is applicable in such jurisdiction); (ii) has all necessary
organizational or other corporate power and authority to own the property and assets it uses in its business and otherwise to carry on its present business; and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing (to the extent the concept
of good standing is applicable in such jurisdiction) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except in each case,
where the failure to have such power and authority or to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing, as the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 5.2. Power and Authority; Validity. Each of the Credit Parties has the organizational power and authority to execute,
deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents. Each of the Credit Parties has
duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party which is a party thereto enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles. 

Section 5.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it
is a party nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, will (i) contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any
applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, except where such contravention would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any
term, covenant, condition or other provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien other than any Permitted Lien upon any of the property or assets of such
Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under, the terms of any material agreement evidencing Indebtedness to which such Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which they or any of their properties or assets
are bound or to which they may be subject, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of the memorandum of association and articles of association, charter, articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership or limited liability company
agreement, by-laws, or other applicable governance documents of such Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

Section 5.4. Litigation. As of the Funding Date, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or counterclaims (including derivative
or injunctive actions) pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent, threatened against the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 5.5. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 

(a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall only be used (i) to pay costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the Paragon Separation Transactions, the Revolving Credit Agreement, this Agreement, the other transactions to be consummated on or about the date of the consummation of the Paragon Separation Transactions, and other transactions incidental thereto,
(ii) to make payments in respect of the Paragon Separation Transactions and (iii) for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including for Investments and
acquisitions. 
 (b) Margin Stock. Neither the Parent nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally or as one of its
important activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” “margin stock” (each, as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No
proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrower for a purpose which violates Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. 

Section 5.6. Investment Company Act. Neither the Parent nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

Section 5.7. Anti-Corruption Laws; Sanctions Laws and Regulations. The Parent and its Subsidiaries have instituted and maintain
policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations. The Parent and its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, their respective officers, employees, directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations in all material respects (for the avoidance of doubt, this
representation shall not fail to be true and correct due to any failure or failures to comply with Anti-Corruption Laws (i) that are isolated and do not evidence a pervasive or systemic pattern of violations of such laws and regulations or a
significant deficiency in the implementation of the aforesaid policies and procedures to ensure compliance by the Parent and its Subsidiaries with Anti-Corruption Laws or (ii) that arise from actions or incidents that have been publicly
disclosed by Noble Corporation or the Parent or disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent, in each case, at least twenty (20) days prior to the Funding Date). Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries, or to their knowledge any of
their directors or officers, or any of their respective agents acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, is a Designated Person or is knowingly engaged in any activity that could reasonably
be expected to result in such Person becoming a Designated Person. No Borrowing, use of proceeds or other Transaction contemplated by this Agreement will result in a violation of Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations by
the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.8. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole)
furnished by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any Credit Document or any transaction contemplated therein did not, as of the date such information was furnished
(or, if such information expressly related to a specific date, as of such specific date), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (taken as a whole), in light of the
circumstances under which such information was furnished, not misleading, except 

  
 73 

 
for such statements, if any, as have been updated, corrected, supplemented, superseded or modified pursuant to a written correction or supplement furnished to the Lenders prior to the date of
this Agreement; provided, that with respect to projected financial information, each of the Parent and the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the
time, it being understood that (i) such projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period(s) covered by any such projections may differ significantly from the projected results and that such difference may be
material and that such projections are not a guaranty of financial performance and (ii) no representation is made with respect to information of a general economic or general industry nature. To the extent commercially reasonable, the Parent
has provided such information and has taken such action, in each case, as has been reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent or such Lender in maintaining compliance with
the Patriot Act. 
 Section 5.9. Financial Statements. The financial statements required to be included in the Paragon
Registration Statement have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Such annual and quarterly financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the standard specification drilling business of Noble Corporation,
and the results of operations for the periods indicated, subject in the case of interim financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and omission of certain footnotes (as permitted by the SEC). As of the Funding Date, the Parent and
its Restricted Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, had no material contingent liabilities or material Indebtedness required under GAAP to be disclosed in a consolidated balance sheet of the Parent that were not included in the financial statements
included in the Paragon Registration Statement or in writing to the Administrative Agent (with a written request to the Administrative Agent to distribute such disclosure to the Lenders), except for the Term Loan Obligations and the Senior Notes.

 Section 5.10. No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2013, there has occurred no event or circumstance that has
had a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.11. Taxes. The Parent and its Subsidiaries have filed all material tax returns
required to be filed, whether in the United States or in any foreign jurisdiction, and have paid all governmental taxes, rates, assessments, fees, charges and levies (collectively, “Taxes”) shown to be due and payable on such
returns or on any assessments made against the Parent and its Subsidiaries or any of their properties (other than any such assessments, fees, charges or levies that are not more than ninety (90) days past due, or which can thereafter be paid
without penalty, or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which reserves have been provided in conformity with GAAP, or which the failure to pay or delay in filing could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect). 
 Section 5.12. Consents. As of the Funding Date, all consents and approvals of, and filings and
registrations with, and all other actions of, all governmental agencies, authorities or instrumentalities required to have been obtained or made by the Credit Parties in order to execute and deliver and perform their obligations under the Credit
Documents to which they are a party, have been or will have been obtained or made and are or will be in full force and effect. 

  
 74 

 Section 5.13. Insurance. As of the Funding Date, the Parent and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, or an Affiliate of the Parent, on behalf of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, maintain in effect the Required Insurance; provided that the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Parent may
self-insure to the extent and in the manner normal for companies of like size, type and financial condition. 
 Section 5.14.
Intellectual Property. The Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries own or hold valid licenses to use all the patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names that are necessary to the operation of the business of the Parent and its
Restricted Subsidiaries as presently conducted, except where the failure to own, or hold valid licenses to use, such patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 5.15. Ownership of Property. 

(a) The Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries have good title to or a valid leasehold interest in all of their real property and good title
to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of their other property, subject to no Liens except Permitted Liens, except where the failure to have such title or leasehold interest in such property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 (b) The Parent and/or each Credit Party is the true, lawful and sole owner of each Collateral Rig stated to be owned by
it, with respect to Funding Date Collateral Rigs, on Schedule 5.15B, and thereafter, in the relevant Collateral Rig Mortgage, and its ownership of each Collateral Rig is free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. 

Section 5.16. Collateral Documents. The Collateral Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties) a legal, valid and enforceable Lien in the Credit Party’s right, title and interest in the Collateral described therein. Except with respect to Excluded Perfection Assets, (i) when financing statements or
equivalent filings or notices have been made or the Collateral Rig Mortgages are filed or recorded in the appropriate offices as may be required under applicable law and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of
such Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only or control (which control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by any Collateral Document), the Collateral Agent shall have fully perfected
Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Liens, other than Permitted Liens which are permitted to attach to such Collateral
under the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 5.17. Legal Names of Parent and Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.17 sets forth, as of the
Funding Date, the legal name of the Parent, the Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Parent, the type of organization or entity of each such Person and the jurisdiction of organization or incorporation of each such Person. Schedule 5.17 also sets
forth, as of the Funding Date, the direct owner and percentage ownership of each such Subsidiary on the Funding Date. As of the Funding Date, there are no Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

  
 75 

 Section 5.18. Rigs. 

(a) As of the Funding Date, the name, registered owner and official number, and jurisdiction of registration and flag of each Funding Date
Collateral Rig are set forth on Schedule 5.15B. Each Rig owned by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary is operated in compliance with all applicable law, rules and regulations (applicable to such Rig and as required by the American Bureau of
Shipping or other internationally recognized classification society reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), except where failure to comply with such law, rules or regulations could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (b) Each Credit Party which owns or operates one or more Rigs is qualified to own and operate such Rig under the laws of such
Credit Party’s jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction in which such Rig is flagged, except where failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) Each Rig (except an Excluded Rig or a Rig that is cold stacked) maintains its classification as is applicable for rigs of comparable age
and size with the American Bureau of Shipping or another internationally recognized classification society reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, free of any conditions or recommendations affecting class, except for temporary lapses of
such classification as may from time to time arise as a result of the normal operation of such Rig, so long as the Parent or applicable Rig Owner is using commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such lapses. 

Section 5.19. Form of Documentation. Each of the Collateral Rig Mortgages is or, when executed, will be in proper legal form under
the laws of the applicable Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction for the enforcement thereof in all material respects under such laws and the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the applicable Credit Party party thereto, subject as to enforceability,
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles. To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of each
such Collateral Rig Mortgage in the applicable Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of the applicable Credit Party party thereto, it is not necessary that any Collateral Rig Mortgage or any other document be filed or recorded with any
court or other authority in any such jurisdiction, except as have been, or will be, made. 
 Section 5.20. Pari Passu or Priority
Status. Neither the Parent nor any other Credit Party has taken any action which would cause the claims of unsecured creditors of the Parent or of any other Credit Party, as the case may be (other than claims of such creditors to the extent that
they are statutorily preferred or Permitted Liens), to have priority over the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties against the Parent and such other Credit Party under this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents. 
 Section 5.21. No Immunity. Neither the Parent nor any other Credit Party is a sovereign entity or has immunity on
the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from setoff or any legal process under the laws of any jurisdiction. The execution and delivery of the Credit Documents by the Credit Parties and the performance by them of their respective obligations
thereunder constitute commercial transactions. 

  
 76 

 Section 5.22. Solvency. The Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
are Solvent. The Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the execution and performance of the Paragon Separation Transaction, including the Incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith, will be Solvent.

 Section 5.23. Compliance With Laws. The Parent and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations,
orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective property and all Environmental Laws,
except for any failure to comply with any of the foregoing which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

ARTICLE VI 
 AFFIRMATIVE
COVENANTS 
 The Parent covenants and agrees that, from and after the Funding Date and for so long thereafter as any Loan or Term Loan
Note is outstanding hereunder, or any other Term Loan Obligation (other than indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations not then due and payable and as to which no claim has been made as at the time of determination) is due and
payable hereunder: 
 Section 6.1. Corporate Existence. The Parent will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
preserve and maintain its incorporation status or organizational existence, except (i) for the dissolution of any Restricted Subsidiaries whose assets are transferred to the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) where the
failure to preserve, renew or keep in full force and effect the incorporation status or existence of any Restricted Subsidiary could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) as otherwise expressly permitted in this
Agreement. 
 Section 6.2. Maintenance of Properties, including Rigs; Rig Contracts. 

(a) The Parent will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain, preserve and keep its properties and equipment necessary
to the proper conduct of its business in reasonably good repair, working order and condition (normal wear and tear or damage done by casualty or condemnation excepted) and will from time to time make all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, additions and betterments thereto so that at all times such properties and equipment are reasonably preserved and maintained, in each case with such exceptions as could not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.2 shall prevent the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any such properties or equipment if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Parent desirable in the conduct of its business. 
 (b) The Parent will, and will cause each Rig
Owner to, at all times, and without cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, maintain and preserve, or cause to be maintained and preserved, each Rig owned by such Rig Owner (except for an Excluded Rig or any Rig that is cold stacked) and its
material equipment, outfit and appurtenances, tight, staunch, 

  
 77 

 
strong, in good condition, working order and repair and fit for its intended service, in each case with such exceptions as could not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent will, and will cause each Rig Owner to, with respect to each Rig owned by such Rig Owner (except for an Excluded Rig or any Rig that is cold stacked), at all times comply with all applicable laws, treaties
and conventions of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Rig is flagged, and rules and regulations issued thereunder, and shall have on board as and when required thereby valid certificates showing compliance therewith, unless the failure to so
comply or have on board such documentation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent will, and will cause each Rig Owner to, keep each Rig owned by such Rig Owner (except for an Excluded Rig or any Rig that is
cold stacked) in such condition as will entitle such Rig to maintain its classification, as is applicable for rigs of comparable age and type, by the American Bureau of Shipping or another internationally recognized classification society reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, except for any temporary lapse of such classification as may from time to time arise as a result of the normal operation of such Rig, so long as the Parent or the applicable Rig Owner is using commercially
reasonable efforts to remedy such lapse. The Parent will, and will cause each Rig Owner to, with respect to each Rig owned by such Rig Owner (except for an Excluded Rig or any Rig that is cold stacked), comply with and satisfy in all material
respects the provisions of any applicable law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order concerning financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on such Rig Owner, the Parent, the Parent’s Subsidiaries or such Rig with respect to
pollution by any state or nation or political subdivision thereof and will maintain all certificates or other evidence of financial responsibility as may be required by any such law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order with respect to the
trade in which the Rig is from time to time engaged and the cargo carried by it. 
 (c) The Parent will, and will cause each Rig Owner that
owns a Material Rig to, supply the Administrative Agent promptly following its receipt of a reasonable written request from the Administrative Agent with copies of all survey reports in their possession with respect to such Material Rig. 

(d) The Parent will, and will cause each Collateral Rig Owner to, promptly notify the Administrative Agent of and furnish the Administrative
Agent with full information, promptly upon becoming available, including copies of reports and surveys, regarding any material accident or accident involving repairs (except to the extent any such accident could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect). 
 (e) The Parent will, and will cause each applicable Rig Owner or Internal Charterer to, use commercially
reasonable efforts to, perform any and all charter contracts or drilling contracts which are, or may be, entered into with respect to each Rig, except to the extent any such nonperformance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 Section 6.3. Taxes. The Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge all
Taxes upon or against it or its properties, unless and to the extent that (i) the same is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and reserves have been established in conformity with GAAP, or (ii) the failure to
effect such payment or discharge or any delay in filing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 78 

 Section 6.4. [Intentionally Omitted]. 

Section 6.5. Insurance. 

(a) The Parent will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, or will cause an Affiliate of the Parent to, on behalf of the
Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (i) maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (provided that this Section 6.5 shall not be deemed to be breached if an insurance company with which the Parent, any
Restricted Subsidiary or the applicable Affiliate of the Parent maintains insurance becomes financially troubled and the Parent, such Restricted Subsidiary or such Affiliate of the Parent reasonably promptly obtains coverage from a different,
financially sound insurer) insurance on the Rigs (other than the Excluded Rigs) and other material insurable properties of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in at least such amounts and against all such risks as is consistent and in
accordance with normal industry practice for similarly situated insureds and as provided in this Section 6.5 (the “Required Insurance”) and (ii) furnish to the Administrative Agent, at the written request of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, a complete description of the material terms of insurance carried on the Rigs (other than the Excluded Rigs); provided that the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Parent may
self-insure to the extent and in the manner normal for companies of like size, type and financial condition; provided, further that the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned) to the maintenance of alternate insurance coverage should the Parent provide adequate substantiation that such alternate insurance coverage is cost effective from the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries’
perspective. 
 (b) The Parent will, and will cause each of the Rig Owners to, or will cause an Affiliate of the Parent to, on behalf of the
Parent and the Rig Owners, at all times keep the Collateral Rigs insured in favor of the Collateral Agent as provided in this Section 6.5; and from and after the date that is sixty (60) Business Days after consummation of the Paragon
Separation Transactions (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may reasonably agree) (x) all policies or certificates with respect to such insurance (and any other insurance maintained by the Parent and/or such Rig Owners):
(i) shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (including by naming the Collateral Agent as loss payee and/or additional insured, as its interests may appear) and
(ii) shall provide that the respective insurers irrevocably waive any and all rights of subrogation with respect to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and (y) the Parent and/or the applicable Rig Owner will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide that such insurance policies state that they shall not be canceled for non-payment of premium without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof by the respective insurer to the Collateral Agent.
On the Funding Date and from time to time thereafter to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, but no more frequently than once each calendar year, the Parent shall deliver certificates evidencing such insurance policies for
deposit with the Collateral Agent; provided that the Parent shall not be required to deliver certificates including the endorsements and waivers of subrogation described in this Section 6.5(b) until the date that is sixty
(60) Business Days after consummation of the Paragon Separation Transactions (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may reasonably agree). The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to verify the adequacy or existence
of any such insurance or any such policies or endorsements. 

  
 79 

 (c) The Parent will, and will cause each of the Rig Owners to, or will cause an Affiliate of the
Parent to, on behalf of the Parent and the applicable Rig Owners, cause the Rigs to be insured with insurers or protection and indemnity clubs or associations of the type described in Section 6.5(a)(i), against the risks indicated below: 

(i) marine war risk insurance, including coverage afforded by the London Blocking and Trapping Addendum (or equivalent) and Missing Rig
Clause (or equivalent), and marine hull and machinery insurance in an amount equal to not less than 120% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans at such time, except as otherwise reasonably agreed in writing by the Collateral
Agent. The insured values for hull and machinery required under this clause (c)(i) for the Collateral Rigs shall at all times be in an amount equal to 60% of the Fair Market Value of each Collateral Rig, and the remaining hull and machinery
insurance required by this clause (c)(i) may be procured as increased value and/or disbursements insurance; 
 (ii) marine protection and
indemnity insurance or equivalent (including coverage against liability for war risk perils, passengers, fines and penalties arising out of the operation of the Rigs, including crew, pollution, spillage or leakage, and workers’ compensation or
U.S. Longshore and Harbor Worker’s Act insurance as shall be required by applicable law) in such amounts reasonably approved by the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that insurance against liability under applicable law or
international convention arising out of pollution, spillage or leakage shall be in an amount not less than the greater of: 

(A) such sources of pollution, spillage or leakage coverage as are commercially available as shall be carried by prudent rig
owners with similar rigs engaged in similar trades plus amounts available from customary excess insurers of such risks as excess amounts shall be carried by prudent rig owners for similar rigs engaged in similar trades; and 

(iii) the Collateral Agent’s interest insurance (including extended mortgagee’s interest-additional perils-pollution) coverage on
terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that such coverage should only apply to Collateral Rigs operating in the Gulf of Mexico; all such Collateral Agent’s interest insurance cover shall in the Collateral Agent’s
discretion be obtained directly by the Collateral Agent and the Rig Owner shall on demand pay or cause to be paid all costs of such cover; premium costs shall be reimbursed by the Rig Owner to the Collateral Agent; 

(iv) while a Rig is idle or laid up, at the option of the Parent or the applicable Rig Owner and in lieu of the above-mentioned marine and
war risk hull insurance, port risk insurance insuring the relevant Rig against the usual risks encountered by like rigs under similar circumstances; and 

(v) for the marine, war-risks and protection and indemnity/liability insurances required herein, the Parent or the applicable Rig Owner shall
have the discretion to utilize deductibles or self-insured retentions that are customary for similar rigs engaged in similar activities. 

  
 80 

 All insurance maintained hereunder shall be primary insurance without right of contribution against any other
insurance maintained by the Collateral Agent. From and after the date that is sixty (60) Business Days after consummation of the Paragon Separation Transactions (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may reasonably agree), the policy of
marine and war risk hull and machinery insurance with respect to the Collateral Rigs shall provide that the Collateral Agent shall be named in its capacity as Collateral Agent and as a loss payee. Any entry in a marine and war risk protection and
indemnity club with respect to the Collateral Rigs shall note the interest of the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of their respective successors and assigns shall not be responsible for any premiums, club
calls, if any, assessments or any other obligations or for the representations and warranties made therein by any Rig Owner, the Parent, any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries or any other Person. 

(d) The Parent will, or will cause each of the Rig Owners to, or will cause an Affiliate of the Parent to, on behalf of the Parent and the
applicable Rig Owners, furnish to the Administrative Agent a comprehensive summary prepared and signed by its energy insurance brokers with respect to the protection and indemnity insurance, the hull and machinery and war risk insurance carried and
maintained on the Rigs, together with their opinion as to the adequacy thereof and its compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.5. The Parent will, or will cause each of the Rig Owners to, or will cause an Affiliate of the Parent to, on
behalf of the Parent and the applicable Rig Owners, cause such insurance broker and/or the protection and indemnity club or association providing protection and indemnity insurance referred to in Section 6.5(c)(ii), to agree to provide the
Administrative Agent with such information as to such insurances as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to expiration, termination or cancellation of any policy or any default in the payment of any premium. 

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent has given notice to the underwriters of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, all
insurance claim proceeds of whatsoever nature with respect to the Collateral Rigs payable under any insurance shall be payable to the Parent, the applicable Rig Owner or others as their interests may appear; thereafter, payments of insurance claim
proceeds with respect to the Collateral Rigs shall be made to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, unless the Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, has given
written consent to the underwriter to make payments to other parties. 
 (f) In the event that any claim or Lien is asserted against a
Collateral Rig for loss, damage or expense that is covered by insurance required hereunder and it is necessary for the applicable Rig Owner to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of such Collateral Rig or to release such
Collateral Rig from arrest on account of such claim or Lien, the Collateral Agent, on request of the applicable Rig Owner, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, assign to any person, firm or corporation executing a surety or guaranty
bond or other agreement to save or release the Collateral Rig from such arrest, all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in and to said insurance covering said loss, damage or expense, as collateral security to indemnify against
liability under said bond or other agreement. 
 (g) The Parent will not, and will not permit any Rig Owner to, execute or permit or
willingly allow to be done any act by which any insurance required under this Section 6.5 may be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and will not permit or allow any Rig to undertake 

  
 81 

 
any voyage or operational risk which may not be permitted by the policies in force, without having previously notified the Administrative Agent in writing and insured the relevant Rig by
additional coverage to extend to such voyages, risks, passengers or cargoes. 
 (h) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
subject to the rights of any charterer, the Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to negotiate and agree to any compromise to any claim with respect to any Collateral Rig with respect to which any underwriter proposes to pay less on any
claim than the amount thereof. 
 (i) If the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to maintain insurance in accordance with this
Section 6.5 with respect to the Collateral Rigs, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to procure such insurance, and the Parent agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and
expenses of procuring such insurance. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.5 to the contrary, if the requisite Revolving
Lenders or requisite lenders under any refinancing of the Revolving Credit Agreement consent to any amendments or waivers of the provisions of Section 6.5 of the Revolving Credit Agreement or the corresponding comparable provision(s) of such
other revolving credit agreement, as applicable, such amendments or waivers shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to amendment or waiver the corresponding provisions of this Section 6.5 and compliance by the Parent and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of such provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement or other revolving credit agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed compliance with this Section 6.5. 

Section 6.6. Financial Reports and Other Information. 

(a) Periodic Financial Statements; Other Documents; Notices. 

(i) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as the Term Loan Obligations are outstanding, the Parent shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent (who will in turn provide notice to the Lenders of) (or, to the extent permitted by the SEC, file with the SEC for public availability), within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations
that are then applicable to the Parent (or, if the Parent is not subject to such reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, then within those time periods for filing as are applicable to a filer that is not an “accelerated filer” as
defined in such rules and regulations), taking into account any extension of time, deemed filing date or safe harbor contemplated or provided for by Rule 12b-25, Rule 13a-11(c) and Rule 15d-11(c) under the Exchange Act or successor
provisions: 
 (A) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q (or any
successor or comparable form) and 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) if the Parent were required to file such reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and,
with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Parent’s certified independent accountants; and 

(B) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K (or any successor or comparable form) if
the Parent were required to file such reports. 

  
 82 

 (ii) The Parent will be deemed to have delivered such reports to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders if it has filed such reports with the SEC using the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. 
 (iii) All
reports delivered pursuant to Section 6.6(a)(i) shall be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. 

(iv) If, at any time, the Parent is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Parent

effectuating the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or of renewing the rights of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as to which the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, has or is
intended to have a perfected Lien pursuant hereto or thereto, including filing any financing or continuation statements under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby or by

relating to such joinder, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, in no event (either on the Funding Date or thereafter) shall (i) any Lien be granted with respect to any asset of any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary be
required to become a Guarantor or Pledgor (or otherwise comply with clauses (b) or (c) above) if, and to the extent, the granting of such a Lien or pledge to secure, or provision of a Guaranty of, any Secured Obligation is prohibited by
applicable law or could reasonably be expected, in the discretion of the Parent, to result in material adverse tax consequences to the Parent, such Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of the Parent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to perform any Excluded Perfection Actions.

Collateral Agent written notice of such change, and shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interests of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the
Collateral intended to be granted under the Collateral Documents at all times perfected and in full force and effect to the extent required by the Collateral Documents.

a consolidated basis) for the Parent’s most recently ended four full Fiscal Quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred would have been at least
2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(iii) the Incurrence of Indebtedness represented by the Senior Notes and any Guaranties of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or a Subsidiary
Guarantor;

and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Term Loan Obligations then due; 
 (B) if a Guarantor
is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Borrower or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Term Loan Obligations then due; and 

(C) (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held
by a Person other than the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent or (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent will be deemed, in each
case, to constitute an Incurrence (as of the date of such issuance, sale or transfer) of such Indebtedness by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this Section 7.3(b)(vi);

 will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary
that was not permitted by this Section 7.3(b)(vii); 
 (viii) the Incurrence by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes; 
 (ix) any Guaranty of Indebtedness of the Parent

obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting such workers’ compensation claims, public liability insurance, unemployment insurance, property, casualty or liability insurance, self-insurance obligations or completion, performance,
bid performance, appeal or surety bonds; 
 (xii) the Incurrence by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness

to this clause (xv), not to exceed the greater of (A) $150,000,000 and (B) 5.0% of the Parent’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such Incurrence. 

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.3, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Sections 7.3(b)(i) through (xv) above, or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the Parent will be permitted to divide
and classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, on the date of its Incurrence, or later re-divide and reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as
applicable, in any manner that complies with this Section 7.3. Indebtedness under Debt Facilities (including the Senior Credit Facilities, but excluding the Senior Notes and any Guaranties of Indebtedness under the Senior Notes) outstanding on
the Funding Date will be deemed to have been Incurred on such date in reliance of Section 7.3(b)(i) and not Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b)(ii), and may not later be reclassified. The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock dividends,
the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting
principles, and the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 7.3; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Parent as accrued. Further, the reclassification of any lease or other
liability of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as 

  
 92 

 
Indebtedness due to a change of accounting principles after the Funding Date will not be deemed an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. In addition, for purposes of
determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this covenant, Guaranties or Liens supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could
have Incurred such Indebtedness. 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency Exchange Rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was
Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such
refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency Exchange Rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to
have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.3, the maximum amount of
Indebtedness that the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency Exchange Rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 Section 7.4. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any properties or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or Guaranty with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration to or from the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $25,000,000, unless: 

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the
case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis or, if in the good faith judgment of the
Parent’s Board of Directors, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to the Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of
view; and 
 (ii) the Parent delivers to the Administrative Agent: 

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration to
or from the Parent or a 

  
 93 

 
Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $35,000,000 but no greater than $50,000,000, a certificate of an Officer who is the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, the treasurer
or the principal accounting officer of the Parent certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant; and 

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $50,000,000, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent set forth in a certificate of an Officer who is the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, the treasurer or the principal accounting officer of the
Parent certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Parent. 
 (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions
and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(a): 
 (i) any employment agreement, severance agreement,
consulting agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

 (ii) transactions between or among the Parent and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(iii) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Parent) that is an Affiliate of the Parent solely because the
Parent owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 
 (iv) payment of customary
compensation (including bonuses) to, and the provision of customary indemnity and other benefits (including pursuant to any employment agreement or any retirement, health, stock option or stock ownership or other benefit plan) on behalf of,
officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (v) any issuance of Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent to, or receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of the Parent; 
 (vi) Restricted
Payments that are permitted under Section 7.5; 
 (vii) transactions between the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any
Person that would not otherwise constitute an Affiliate Transaction except for the fact that one director of such other Person is also a director of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that such director abstains
from voting as a director of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, on any matter involving such other Person; 

  
 94 

 (viii) any transaction in which the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case
may be, delivers to the Administrative Agent a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or
that such transaction meets the requirements of Section 7.4(a)(i); 
 (ix) transaction 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 Agreement; provided that in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior
management of the Parent, such transactions are on terms not materially less favorable to the Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an
arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent; 
 (x) any transaction where the only consideration paid by
the Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is Qualifying Equity Interests of the Parent; and 
 (xi) transactions pursuant to
agreements or arrangements in effect on the Funding Date or pursuant to the Paragon Separation Transaction Agreements, or, in each case, any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or
arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced is not materially more disadvantageous to the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Funding Date or, in the case
of the Paragon Separation Transaction Agreements, as described in the Paragon Registration Agreement. 
 Section 7.5. Limitation on
Restricted Payments.

 (C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Parent and
its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Funding Date (excluding Restricted Payments made pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xii), (xiii) and (xiv), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

capital or from the issue or sale of Qualifying Equity Interests or (B) from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock of the Parent or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Parent, in each case that have

documents are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, as determined by the Parent in its reasonable and good faith judgment, than those in effect on the Funding Date or (B) any such encumbrance or restriction contained in such
agreements or documents does not prohibit (except upon a default or an event of default thereunder) the payment of dividends in a manner that, as determined by the Parent in good faith, would result in the Parent being unable to, to make principal
and interest payments on the Term Loan Obligations as and when they come due; 
 (iv) applicable law, rule, regulation, approval, permit or
order; 
 (v) any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Parent or any of its

Agreement to be Incurred; and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or instruments; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications,

  
 103

contained in those agreements governing such Indebtedness or Capital Stock, as determined by the Parent in its reasonable and good faith judgment; 

(vi) any agreement or instrument relating to property or assets acquired after the Funding Date, so long as such encumbrance or restriction
relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in in anticipation of such acquisition and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those

 Section 8.6.

 (b)
Second, to the payment of any due and unpaid fees to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as provided by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, pro rata in the proportion in which the amount of such fees due and unpaid to the

 ARTICLE IX  

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES 

Section 9.1. Change in Law. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if a Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or
maintain Eurodollar Term Loans (or in connection with any Redomestication, any Term Loans), such Lender shall promptly give written notice thereof and of the basis therefor in reasonable detail to the Borrower, and such Lender’s obligations to
fund Eurodollar Term Loans (or in connection with any Redomestication, any Term Loans) or make, continue or convert, as applicable, such Loans under this Agreement shall thereupon be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make
or maintain such Loans. 
 (b) Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrower referred to in Section 9.1(a) in respect of any such
Eurodollar Term Loan (except in the case of any such notice delivered in connection with a Redomestication), and provided the Borrower shall not have prepaid such Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, (i) any such outstanding Eurodollar Term Loan
of such Lender shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Term Loan on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto or on such earlier date as required by law, and (ii) such Lender shall make or continue its portion of any
requested Borrowing of such Loan as a Base Rate Term Loan, which Base Rate Term Loan shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing. 

(c) Upon the giving of the notice by any Lender (such Lender, a “Notifying Lender”) to the Borrower referred to in
Section 9.1(a) in connection with a Redomestication, the 

  
 109 

 
Borrower will either (i) notify the Administrative Agent and such Notifying Lender that (A) the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated or (B) the rights and obligations of
such Notifying Lender under this Agreement of such Notifying Lender have been assigned to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more existing Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any
such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other Person become a party to this Agreement; provided that such Notifying Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Term Loans and/or unreimbursed Letters of Credit obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder or (ii) postpone the proposed Redomestication until such time that either one of the actions
described in subclause (i) have been taken or such Notifying Lender shall have delivered a notice described in Section 9.1(d) below. 

(d) Any Lender that has given any notice pursuant to Section 9.1(a) shall, upon determining that it would no longer be unlawful for it to
make such Eurodollar Term Loans (or in connection with any Redomestication, any Term Loans), give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon giving such notice, its obligation to make, allow conversions into
and maintain, as applicable, such Loans shall be reinstated (except in the case of any Notifying Lender with respect to which the actions described in subclause (i) of Section 9.1(c) above have been taken). 

Section 9.2. Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain LIBOR Rate. If on or before the first day of any Interest Period
for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (after consultation with the other Lenders) that, due to changes in circumstances since the date hereof, adequate and fair means do not exist for
determining the LIBOR Rate (including the unavailability of matching deposits) or such rate will not accurately reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding Eurodollar Term Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give
written notice (in reasonable detail) of such determination and of the basis therefor to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension
no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after they do not exist), (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make, continue or convert Loans as or into such Eurodollar Term Loans, or to convert Base Rate Term Loans into
such Eurodollar Term Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Eurodollar Term Loan will automatically on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Term Loan. 

Section 9.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. 

(a) If, a Change in Law, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office), with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any Governmental Authority issued after the date hereof (or, if later, after the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes the Administrative Agent or a Lender): 

(i) subjects any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge related to any Term Loan or its obligation to
advance or maintain Term Loans or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Term Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement related to its Term
Loans or its obligation to make Term Loans (except for changes with respect to Taxes that are not Indemnified Taxes); or 

  
 110 

 (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
(including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding for any Term Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or imposes on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Term Loans owed to it or its obligation to advance or
maintain Term Loans; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) of advancing or
maintaining any Term Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) in connection therewith under this Agreement, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, subject to
Section 9.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 9.3(c) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and
the basis thereof, the Borrower shall, without duplication under this Agreement, be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. 

(b) If, after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have reasonably determined that a Change in Law regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity (including any revision in the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208, Appendix A; 12 CFR Part 225, Appendix A) or of the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A), or in any other applicable capital adequacy or liquidity rules heretofore adopted and issued by any governmental authority), or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital, or on the capital
of any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its
controlling corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity in effect immediately before such adoption, change or compliance) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then, subject to
Section 9.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 9.3(c) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination
and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. 

(c) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that determines to seek compensation under this Section 9.3 shall give written
notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances 

  
 111 

 
that entitle the Administrative Agent or such Lender to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after the Administrative Agent, such Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual
knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event, neither the Parent nor the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior
to the ninetieth day preceding such written demand; provided that if the basis or circumstances giving rise to such compensation is retroactive, then such 90-day period referred to in this sentence shall be extended to include the period with
retroactive effect thereof. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and any payment under Section 3.3, including the designation of a
different Lending Office, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way affect
the rights of any Lender or the obligations of the Parent or the Borrower under this Section 9.3. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, claiming compensation under this Section 9.3, and setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the correctness thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

Section 9.4. Lending Offices. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may, at its option, elect to make or maintain its Loans
hereunder at the Lending Office for each Type available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or Affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
provided that, except in the case of any such transfer to another of its branches, offices or Affiliates made at the request of the Borrower, neither the Parent nor the Borrower shall be responsible for the costs arising under
Section 3.3 or 9.3 resulting from any such transfer to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer. 

Section 9.5. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, each Lender shall be
entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit. 
 Section 9.6. Substitution of
Lender. If (a) any Lender has demanded compensation or given notice of its intention to demand compensation under Section 9.3, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 2.11,
(c) any Lender fails to, or is unable to, submit any form or certificate required under Section 3.3(b) or withdraws or cancels any previously submitted form with no substitution therefor, (d) any Lender gives notice of any Change in
Law or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, pursuant to Section 9.1, (f) any Lender shall seek to avoid its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder for any reason, including reliance upon 12 U.S.C. § 1821(e) or
(n) (1) (B), (g) any taxes referred to in Section 3.3 or Section 11.3 have been levied or imposed (or the Borrower determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such taxes will be levied or imposed) so
as to require withholding or deductions by the Borrower or payment by the Borrower of additional amounts to any Lender, or other reimbursement or indemnification of any Lender, as a result thereof, (h) any Lender shall decline to consent to a
modification or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents requested by the Parent and the Borrower, or shall fail 

  
 112 

 
to give its consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction that requires Required Lender consent pursuant to the definition of “Redomestication” or (i) any Lender
ceases to be entitled to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA with respect to payments to be received pursuant to any Credit Document (as if such payments were U.S. source) or so notifies the Borrower under
Section 3.3(g), then and in such event, upon request from the Borrower delivered to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall assign, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.10 (including the provisions governing
required consents) and an appropriately completed Assignment Agreement, all of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents to another Lender or a commercial banking institution selected by the Borrower, in consideration for the payments
set forth in such Assignment Agreement and payment by the Borrower to such Lender of all other amounts which such Lender may be owed pursuant to this Agreement, including Sections 2.11, 3.3, 9.3 and 11.3. 

ARTICLE X 
 THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, OTHER AGENTS 
 Section 10.1. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative
Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent, and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on each of its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as
are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

Section 10.2. Rights and Powers as a Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents, to the extent each such Person is also
a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Administrative Agent, or an Other Agent, and the
Administrative Agent and the Other Agents and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof as if it were not an
Administrative Agent or an Other Agent under the Credit Documents. The term Lender as used in all Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes, to the extent such Person is also a Lender hereunder, the Administrative
Agent and the Other Agents in their respective individual capacities as a Lender. 
 Section 10.3. Action by Administrative Agent
and the Other Agents. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Neither the Syndication Agent nor any Documentation Agent shall have any liabilities, duties,
responsibilities or obligations hereunder in such capacity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action concerning any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided
in Section 8. Unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 11.11, all of the Lenders) give such direction (including the giving of a notice of default as described in Section 8.1(c)), the Administrative Agent may,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any
action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit Document

  
 113 

 
unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires
against any and all costs, expenses, and liabilities it may Incur in taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default, other than non-payment of any scheduled
principal or interest payment due hereunder, exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Parent. In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative
Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under specific provisions of the Credit Documents,
shall be binding on all the Lenders and holders of Term Loan Notes. 
 Section 10.4. Consultation with Experts. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Section 10.5. Indemnification Provisions; Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by them in connection with the Credit Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if
required by Section 11.11, all of the Lenders) or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit
Document or any Borrowing; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Parent or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in
Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other
documents or writings furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matters mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute
any of its duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected
with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not Incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper
party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by any of them under
the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Term Loan Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent signed by such owner in form satisfactory to such
Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has independently, and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents or any other Lender, obtained such information and made such investigations and inquiries regarding
the Parent and its Subsidiaries as it deems appropriate, and 

  
 114 

 
based upon such information, investigations and inquiries, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be
the responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed about the creditworthiness and business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent
shall have no liability whatsoever to any Lender or for such matters. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required by any Credit Document to be furnished by the Parent or any Subsidiaries to
such Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished to such Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity). 

Section 10.6. Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative
Agent, the Other Agents, and their directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or Incurred by it under any Credit Document or in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that this Section 10.6 shall not limit the Borrower’s reimbursement
obligations hereunder. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.7.
Resignation of Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents may resign at any time and shall resign upon any removal thereof as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until a replacement therefor is appointed pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required
Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents; and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Other Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article X
and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be. 

  
 115 

 Section 10.8. Sub-Agent. The Sub-Agent has been designated under this Agreement to
carry out certain duties of the Administrative Agent as described herein. The Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this Agreement to be performed by the Sub-Agent, and each of the Borrower and the Lenders agrees that the
Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of the benefits of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement as relate to the performance of its obligations hereunder. 

Section 10.9. Collateral and Guaranty Matters; Collateral Agency Agreement. Each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefit of
any Lien in Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents, each holder of the Rate Management and Currency Protection Obligations, each holder of the Specified Cash Management Obligations and each other Person for whose benefit the
Collateral Agent is granted a Lien in Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents) hereby (a) authorizes and directs (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act as Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement and each
other Collateral Document, (ii) the Administrative Agent to execute the Collateral Agency Agreement on its behalf (and any amendments, restatements, supplements and other modifications thereof expressly contemplated thereby or for which the
requisite consent has been obtained in accordance with the terms thereof), (iii) the Collateral Agent to execute the Intercompany Note Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf (and any amendments, restatements, supplements and other modifications
thereof expressly contemplated thereby or for which the requisite consent has been obtained in accordance with the terms thereof), (iv) the Collateral Agent, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to the Collateral or Collateral
Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and to enter into additional Collateral Documents or amendments to Collateral Documents, as contemplated by
Section 6.12 or as necessary or advisable in connection with transfers or changes to the flag or vessel and/or ship registry of any Collateral Rig permitted by Section 6.13, (v) the Administrative Agent to, or to instruct the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement to (A) release any and all Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, subordinate any Lien on any and all such Collateral and/or release any and all
Guarantors from their respective obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement at any time and from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and Section 11.20 and (B) execute and deliver, and
take any action referred to in Section 11.20, to evidence any such release or subordination and (vi) the Administrative Agent to appoint the Collateral Agent as its mortgagee trustee to receive, hold, administer and enforce the Collateral
Rig Mortgages covering the Collateral Rigs, as contemplated under Section 2.1 of the Collateral Agency Agreement; (b) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of, the Collateral Agency Agreement;
and (c) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Collateral Agency Agreement and that the exercise of certain of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder may be subject to, and restricted by, the provisions of the
Collateral Agency Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT,
THE COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT SHALL CONTROL. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s authority, as 

  
 116 

 
applicable, to release any Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, to subordinate any such Liens and/or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and
Collateral Agreement, in each case, pursuant to this Section 10.9 or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement. 

ARTICLE XI 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 11.1. No Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or on the part of the holder or
holders of any Term Loan Notes, in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise of any other power, right or remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the powers, rights and remedies under the Credit Documents of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the holder or holders of any Term Loan
Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any powers, rights or remedies any of them would otherwise have. 
 Section 11.2.
Non-Business Day. Subject to Section 2.4, if any payment of principal or interest on any portion of any Loan or any other Term Loan Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the
rate, if any, such portion of any Loan or other Term Loan Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue in the manner set forth herein on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to the next succeeding Business
Day, on which the same shall instead be payable. 
 Section 11.3. Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any
documentary, stamp or similar Taxes payable with respect to any Credit Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such Taxes are assessed irrespective of when such assessment is made, other than any such Taxes imposed as a result
of any transfer of an interest in a Credit Document. Each Lender that determines to seek compensation under this Section 11.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle such Lender to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after such Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence
of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims under this Section 11.3 accruing prior to the 90th day preceding such written demand (except
that, if the applicable event giving rise to such Taxes is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

Section 11.4. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made until Security Termination. 

Section 11.5. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts
sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans, including Section 2.11, Section 3.3, Section 8.5, Section 9.3, Section 11.3 and Section 11.13, shall, subject to Section 9.3(c), survive the
Security Termination. 

  
 117 

 Section 11.6. Setoff; Pro Rata Sharing. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of, and throughout the continuance of, any Event of Default, each Lender and each subsequent holder of any Term Loan Note or any of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Person, any such prior notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all
deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by that
Lender or that subsequent holder or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the due and unpaid obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to that
Lender or that subsequent holder under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether or not that Lender or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder. Each Lender or any of their respective Affiliates shall promptly give notice to
the Borrower of any action taken by it under this Section 11.6, provided that any failure of such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to give such notice to the Borrower shall not affect the validity of such setoff. Except as
otherwise provided herein, each Lender agrees with each other Lender party hereto that if such Lender receives and retains any payment, whether by setoff or application of deposit balances or otherwise, in respect of the Loans in excess of its
ratable share of payments on all such Term Loan Obligations then owed to the Lenders hereunder, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans held by
each such other Lender as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender and if such excess payment or part
thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. 

Section 11.7. Notices. 

(a) Except as otherwise specified herein and except as otherwise provided in Section 11.7(b), all notices under the Credit Documents
shall be in writing (including email or facsimile) and shall be given to a party hereunder at its address, email address or facsimile number set forth below or such other address, email address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify

Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.6 shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent
as specified in Section 11.7(b) or as otherwise specified to the Parent and the Borrower by the Administrative Agent; provided that any communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Loan or

(b) The Borrower will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates
to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Loan or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under

Anteneh at tesfaye.a.anteneh@jpmorgan.com. 
 The Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications
available the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledge that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is
not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. 
 THE PLATFORM IS
PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS
IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE
BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THE RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION BY THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, ANY OF THE AGENT PARTIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON OF
COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS 

  
 120 

 
FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its email address set forth above shall
constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each of the Lenders agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted
to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each of the Lenders agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication)
from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. 

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any
Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document. 
 Section 11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on different counterpart signature pages, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission (in .pdf format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this
Agreement. 
 Section 11.9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parent, the Borrower, each of the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parent, the Borrower, each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, including any
subsequent holder of any Note; provided, however, (i) neither the Parent nor the Borrower may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the written consent of all Lenders and
the Administrative Agent (except pursuant to a Redomestication), (ii) the Administrative Agent may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document except in accordance with Article X, and (iii) no
Lender may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except in accordance with Section 11.10. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and
the Term Loan Notes issued to it (i) to a Federal Reserve Bank or the European Central Bank to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund comprised in whole or
in part of commercial loans, to a trustee for such fund in support of such Lender’s obligations to such trustee; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such Federal Reserve Bank or the European Central Bank or such trustee for such Lender as a party hereto and the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely with such Lender in connection with
the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement. 

  
 121 

 Section 11.10. Participations in Loans and Term Loan Notes; Sales and Transfers of Loans
and Term Loan Notes. 
 (a) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time
sell to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in the Term Loans of such Lender hereunder, provided that no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign
any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to vote upon or to consent to any matter to be decided by the Lenders or the Required Lenders hereunder or under any other Credit Document or to approve any amendment to or waiver of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and such increase would affect such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal of, or
interest on, any of such Lender’s Term Loans, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such reduction would affect such Participant, (iii) postpone any date fixed for any scheduled payment of principal of, or
interest on, any of such Lender’s Term Loans, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such postponement would affect such Participant, or (iv) release any collateral security for any Term Loan Obligation, except
as otherwise specifically provided in any Credit Document. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Term Loan Note for all purposes under this Agreement, the Parent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under any Credit Document.
The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Term Loan Notes shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Term Loan Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it
as a Lender under this Agreement or any Note, provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in
Section 11.6. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and have the obligations under Sections 2.11, 3.3 and 9.3 with respect to its participation in the Term Loans outstanding from time to time,
provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred if no
participation had been transferred (unless the entitlement to such greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date such Lender transferred the participation) and provided, further, that Sections 9.3(c) and 9.6 shall apply
to the transferor Lender with respect to any claim by any Participant pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.3 or 9.3 as fully as if such claim was made by such Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not at any time be
obligated to pay to any Lender any sum in excess of the sum the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender hereunder if such Lender had not sold any participation in its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, unless the obligation to pay such sum results from a Change in Law after the date such Lender sold its participation in its Term Loans. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for

  
 122 

 
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Term Loans or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (b) Any Lender may
at any time sell (i) to any of such Lender’s Affiliates, to an Approved Fund or to any other Lender or Affiliate thereof, that, in each case, is a commercial banking or other financial or lending institution not subject to Regulation T of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or (ii) with the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower (it being understood that if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of any written request for a consent, such consent shall be deemed to have been given), to one or more commercial banking or
other financial or lending institutions not described in (i), above that are not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (any of (i) or (ii), a “Purchasing Lender”), all or any part of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, executed by such Purchasing Lender and such transferor Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender described in clause (ii),
above, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that each such sale to a Purchasing Lender (other than an existing Lender) shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or more, or if in a
lesser amount or if as a result of such sale the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans would be less than the amount of $5,000,000 (calculated as hereinafter set forth), such sale shall be of all of such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement and all of the other Credit Documents payable to it to one Purchasing Lender. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment
Agreement, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). On or prior to the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall upon reasonable notice from the
Administrative Agent execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Term Loan Note, a new Term Loan Note as appropriate to such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Term Loans assumed by it pursuant to such
Assignment Agreement, and, if the transferor Lender has retained any outstanding Term Loan hereunder, a new Term Loan Note to the order of the transferor Lender 

  
 123 

 
in an amount equal to the outstanding Term Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Term Loan Notes shall be dated the Funding Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Term Loan Notes
replaced thereby. The Term Loan Notes surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled”. 

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by a transferor Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing
Lender that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund thereof, by the Administrative Agent and, to the extent required by Section 11.10(b), by the Borrower), together with payment by the transferor Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (unless the Borrower is replacing such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event such fee shall be paid by the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall
(i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement, and (ii) on the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant thereto give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower shall not be responsible
for such registration and processing fee or any costs or expenses Incurred by any Lender, any Purchasing Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment except as provided above. 

(d) If, pursuant to this Section 11.10 any interest in this Agreement or any Loan or Term Loan Note is transferred (including by reason
of a change of the Lending Office of the Lender with respect to such Loan or Note) to (i) any transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof or (ii) any
transferee that is an entity organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as separate from any Person organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the United States of America or any State thereof), the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee (or its owner, as appropriate), concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the
benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the transferor Lender with respect to any
payments to be made to such transferee pursuant to the Credit Documents, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) two copies of a properly completed and duly
executed certification on the applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form) wherein such transferee (or its owner, as appropriate) either (x) claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax with respect to payments to be received pursuant to the Credit Documents (as if such payments were U.S. source) or (y) certifies that it is not a United States person, provided, that, in the case of subclause (y), such
transferee also shall submit a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3 to the effect that such transferee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) any other forms contemplated by Section 3.3(b) and Section 3.3(d), and
(iv) to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. and United Kingdom laws and regulations with regard to any applicable withholding tax exemption. Any such transferee shall make the representation contained in and agree to be bound by

 124 

 (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 11.10, no transfer or assignment of
the interests of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans, the Term Loan
Notes or any other Term Loan Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in the
Credit Documents, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries through reverse Dutch auctions

Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired by them on the settlement date of the relevant assignment (and may not be reassigned or resold). 

Section 11.11. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if,
such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) in the case of this Agreement, the Parent, the Borrower, the Required Lenders, and if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent
and (b) in the case of any other Credit Document, each party thereto and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders), provided that: 

(i) no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (B) reduce
the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder, without
the consent of each Lender owed any such Term Loan Obligation, (C) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties of the Guarantors under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or all or substantially all of the Collateral
(except as expressly provided for in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Documents or Section 11.20) without the consent of all Lenders, (D) waive the provisions of Article IV hereof without in each such case the consent
of all Lenders, (E) change any provision requiring ratable funding or sharing of payments without the consent of all Lenders or (F) amend or waive this Section 11.11, the definition herein of “Required Lenders” or the number

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein any Borrowing Request may be amended with the consent of only the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.12. Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not
affect the construction of this Agreement. 

  
 125 

 Section 11.13. Legal Fees, Other Costs and Indemnification. 

(a) The Borrower, upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one legal counsel to the Administrative Agent, plus, if reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) in connection with
the preparation and execution of the Credit Documents (not to exceed such amount previously agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated therein are
consummated. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender, each Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, and their respective directors, officers, employees and attorneys
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including the reasonable fees of one legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties, plus one local counsel
in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, another firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict, and other reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor,
whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or Incur as a result of (a) any action, suit or proceeding by any third party or Governmental Authority against such Indemnified Party and relating to any
Credit Document, the Loans or the application or proposed application by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARE FOUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UPON THE ALLEGED SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF
ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, (b) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority involving any Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender, any Arranger or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in each case, in such
capacity hereunder) and related to any use made or proposed to be made by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any Loan, and
(c) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority, litigation or proceeding involving any Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender, any Arranger or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in each case, in such capacity
hereunder) and related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any Environmental Law or the presence of any Hazardous Material (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims
asserted or arising under any Environmental Law) with respect to the Borrower, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Borrower, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any
Indemnified Party for any of the foregoing (i) arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of law or willful breach of its obligations hereunder as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction or as expressly agreed in writing by such Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent arising from a litigation, claim or proceeding solely among Indemnified Parties (other than a litigation, claim or proceeding
brought against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or to the extent arising from the actions of a Credit Party) or (iii) to the extent such indemnification relates to Taxes, except any Taxes arising from a non-Tax claim. The
Borrower, upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Arranger at any time, shall reimburse such Agent, Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or Arranger for any reasonable legal or other
expenses Incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence. Each Indemnified Party agrees to contest any
indemnified 

  
 126 

 
claim if requested by the Borrower, in a manner reasonably directed by the Borrower, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified Party that proposes or intends to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of
settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be restricted from
settling or compromising any such claim if (i) the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnity from the Borrower in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Borrower’s liability pursuant
to this Section 11.13 to any related party of such Indemnified Party, (ii) an Event of Default as described in Section 8.1(a), (b), (f) or (g) or has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably
believes the Credit Parties will not be able to satisfy the full amount of such claim and the Credit Parties have failed to provide sufficient collateral to the Indemnified Party to secure the value of such claim. 

(b) To the extent that any Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under
Section 11.13(a), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent within 10 days of demand therefor, as the case may be, such Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in
its capacity as such. 
 Section 11.14. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH

VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT EITHER THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS. 

(c) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR

FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO 

  
 128 

 
CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 11.14 OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO
DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES); PROVIDED THAT THIS WAIVER DOES NOT LIMIT ANY OF THE BORROWER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. 

Section 11.15. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to their respective Affiliates, to prospective Purchasing Lenders and Participants, and to prospective counterparties under hedging, swap or derivatives agreements,
and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have reason to use such Information in connection with the evaluation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(subject to similar confidentiality provisions as provided herein) solely for purposes of evaluating such Information and, with the written consent of the Parent or the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Rating
Agencies, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (iii) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) in connection with the exercise
of any remedies hereunder or any proceedings relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (v) with the written consent of the Parent or the Borrower, or (vi) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.15, or (B) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Parent or its Affiliates, or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, excluding any Information
from such source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents or Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Parent or any of its Affiliates.
For purposes hereof, “Information” means all information received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders from the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other
than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents or the Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent or such Subsidiary, excluding any Information from a source which, to the actual
knowledge of the Administrative Agent or the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Parent or any Affiliate thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be
considered to have complied with their respective obligations if they have exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as they would accord their own confidential information. 

Section 11.16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 11.17. Currency Conversion. All payments of Term Loan
Obligations under this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes or any other Credit Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. If any payment of any Term Loan Obligation, whether through payment by any Credit Party or

  
 129 

 
the proceeds of any Collateral, shall be made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, such amount shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent as the
rate quoted by it in accordance with methods customarily used by such Person for such or similar purposes as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of U.S. Dollars with the currency of actual payment through its principal foreign exchange
trading office (including, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agent) at approximately 11:00 A.M. (local time at such office) two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion. The parties hereto hereby agree, to
the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that (i) if for the purposes of obtaining any judgment or award it becomes necessary to convert from any currency (other than U.S. Dollars) into U.S. Dollars any amount in
connection with the Term Loan Obligations, then the conversion shall be made as provided above on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given, (ii) in the event that there is a change in the applicable conversion
rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given and the date of payment, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, such additional amounts (if any) as may be
necessary, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will pay to the Borrower such excess amounts (if any) as result from such change in the rate of exchange, to assure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in such other
currency, which when converted at the conversion rate described herein on the date of payment, is the amount then due in U.S. Dollars, and (iii) any amount due from the Borrower under this Section 11.17 shall be due as a separate debt and
shall not be affected by judgment or award being obtained for any other sum due. 
 Section 11.18. Final Agreement. The Credit
Documents constitute the entire understanding among the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Other Agents and the Administrative Agent and supersede all earlier or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the
Credit Documents. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 
 Section 11.19. Officer’s Certificates. It is not intended
that any certificate of any Officer of any Credit Party delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall give rise to any personal liability on the part of such Officer. 

Section 11.20. Release of Collateral and Guarantors. 

(a) Any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by, and any Guaranty of a Guarantor of the Term Loan Obligations to, the Administrative
Agent and/or the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document shall automatically be released, terminated and discharged (as used in this Section 11.20, “released”) without the need for any further action by any Person: (i) upon
Security Termination, (ii) with respect to any such Lien, in the event that any asset constituting Collateral is, or is to be, Disposed of as part of, or in connection with, any transaction not prohibited hereunder or under any other Credit
Document, or if such asset becomes an “Excluded Asset” (as defined in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement), (iii) with respect to any Collateral Rig, promptly following the request of the Borrower to release such Rig

  
 130 

 
from the Lien of the applicable Collateral Rig Mortgage, if immediately after giving effect to such release, the Collateral Coverage Ratio will not be less than 1.50 to 1.00, (iv) with
respect to any such Guaranty, if such Credit Party ceases to be a Collateral Rig Owner, Pledgor or Internal Charterer, or (v) to the extent approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.11. 

(b) In addition, the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall, without the need for any further action by any
Person, subordinate or release (i) any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent, respectively, under any Credit Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien described in the proviso of
clause (b) and clauses (c), (d) and (f) of the definition of Permitted Liens. 
 (c) In the case of any release or
subordination described in this Section 11.20, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall, at the Borrower’s expense, promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit
Party or the Parent may reasonably request to evidence such release or subordination and take such additional actions as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the applicable Credit Party or the Parent to effect the foregoing. 

Section 11.21. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Parent and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Parent and the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Parent and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Parent and the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Parent and the Borrower shall provide, to the
extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

 Section 11.22. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated
hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), the Parent and the Borrower acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates’ understanding, that:
(i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent, the Borrower and
their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Parent and the Borrower have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the
extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Parent and the Borrower are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents;
(ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Other Agent, each Lender and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be
acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither Administrative Agent nor any Other Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to the
Parent or the Borrower or any of their 

  
 131 

 
respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Administrative
Agent, the Other Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, and
neither the Administrative Agent, any Other Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Parent, the Borrower or their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Parent and the
Borrower hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any Other Agent, any Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any
transaction contemplated hereby.

 (b) the

make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note after such record date. No such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date. 

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day

Section 312(a). 
  

	Section 2.06	Transfer and Exchange. 

 (a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be
transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. 
 (b) To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

 (c) No service charge shall be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to
Section 2.07), but the Holders shall be required to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer
pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.15, 4.16, 4.20 and 9.05). 
 (d) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration
of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon
such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (e) Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the
transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or
unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (g) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (h) At the option of the
Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of
Appendix A. 
 (i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission.

	Section 2.07	Replacement Notes. 

 If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder
claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in
replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 

 

	Section 2.08	Outstanding Notes. 

 (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; provided that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company will not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b) and (f). 
 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in
the State of New York. 
 (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and
interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment. 
 (d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date,
then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
  

	Section 2.09	Treasury Notes. 

 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if
the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of
the Company or of such other obligor. 

  
 -38- 

	Section 2.10	Temporary Notes. 

 Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes
and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of
temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
  

	Section 2.11	Cancellation. 

 The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one
else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the
Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall, upon the written request of the Company, be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

	Section 2.12	Defaulted Interest. 

 (a) If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes,
it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and
in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record
date shall be less than ten days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the
written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed or delivered by
electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note. 

  
 -39- 

	Section 2.13	CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

 The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers
(if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes,
and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 

 

	Section 3.01	Notices to Trustee. 

 If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to
Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the
Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (1) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (2) the redemption date, (3) the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed and the series of such Notes to be redeemed and (4) the redemption price, if then ascertainable. 
  

	Section 3.02	Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

 (a) If less than all of the Notes of a
series are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07 or purchased, the Trustee shall select the Notes of that series to be redeemed or purchased (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed or (2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes issued as Global Notes, based on a method as the Depositary or
its nominee or successor may require, or where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) unless otherwise required by law. In the event of
partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the then outstanding
Notes of the applicable series not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in
writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of
$1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; provided that no Notes of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
 (c) After the redemption date or purchase date,
upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed or purchased in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Note, representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or not
purchased, shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption). 

  
 -40- 

	Section 3.03	Notice of Redemption. 

 (a) Subject to Section 3.09, the Company shall mail or
deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) notices of redemption
of Notes not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

(b) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP and ISIN number, if applicable) and shall state: 

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; provided that in
connection with a redemption under Section 3.07(a) or Section 3.07(e), the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof; 

(3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed; 

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

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

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

(7) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice
or printed on the Notes. 
 (c) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name
and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03
(unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(b). 

(d) For so long as the Notes are listed on the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, the Company shall publish notice of
redemption on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or in a daily newspaper with general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort). 

  
 -41- 

	Section 3.04	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with
Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable (subject to the provisions of the next succeeding sentence) on the redemption date at the redemption price. Notice of any redemption, including, without limitation,
upon an Equity Offering, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related Equity Offering. The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in
a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in
whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

  

	Section 3.05	Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

 (a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the redemption or purchase date (or such later time as such date to which the Trustee may reasonably agree), the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and
accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid
to the Holder of record on such Record Date. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed or repurchased the applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 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 or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all
Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 
 (b) If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption
or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment, and the Holders of such Notes shall have no further rights with respect to such Notes
except for the right to receive the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interests, if any, on such Notes upon surrender of such Notes. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest
Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date in respect of such Note will be paid on such redemption or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on such
Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from
the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section
4.01. 
  

	Section 3.06	Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or
purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to
authenticate such new Note. 

  
 -42- 

	Section 3.07	Optional Redemption. 

 (a) At any time prior to July 15, 2018, the Company may on
any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 2022 notes, upon notice pursuant to Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 notes redeemed, plus the 2022 Applicable Premium as of, and accrued

plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company; provided that (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the
2022 notes issued under this Indenture (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2022 Notes but excluding 2022 notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption (unless all of such 2022 notes are redeemed); and (2) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of any such Equity Offering. 

(c) Except pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 3.07, the 2022 notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s
option prior to July 15, 2018. 
 (d) On and after July 15, 2018, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the

the 2024 notes, upon notice pursuant to Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 notes redeemed, plus the 2024 Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
redemption. The Company will (a) determine the 2024 Treasury Rate at least one Business Day prior to the redemption date and (b) prior to such redemption date, file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the 2024
Applicable Premium and the 2024 Treasury Rate and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail.

to Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 107.25% of the principal amount of the 2024 notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings by the Company; provided that (1) at least 65% of the 

  
 -43- 

 
aggregate principal amount of the 2024 notes issued under this Indenture (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2024 Notes but excluding 2024 notes held by the Company and
its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (unless all of such 2024 notes are redeemed); and (2) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of any such Equity Offering. 

(g) Except pursuant to clause (e) or (f) of this Section 3.07, the 2024 notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s
option prior to August 15, 2019. 
 (h) On and after August 15, 2019, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of
the 2022 Notes, upon notice pursuant to Section 3.03, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed
during the 12-month period beginning on August 15 of each of the years indicated below:

	 2021
	  	 	101.208	%

	  	 	100.000	% 

 (i) The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time, upon notice
pursuant to Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed by the Company for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all
Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Company is or would be
required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent), and the requirement arises as a
result of: 
 (1) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the
relevant Tax Jurisdiction affecting taxation, which change or amendment has not been publicly announced before and which becomes effective on or after the date on which the Tax Jurisdiction imposing the relevant withholding or deduction became the
applicable Tax Jurisdiction under this Indenture; or 
 (2) any change in, or amendment to, the existing official position
regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which change, amendment, application or
interpretation has not been publicly announced before and becomes effective on or after the date on which the Tax Jurisdiction imposing the relevant withholding or deduction became the applicable Tax Jurisdiction under the Indenture. 

(j) In the case of Additional Amounts required to be paid as a result of the Company’s conducting business other than in the place of its
organization, such amendment or change must be announced and become effective on or after the date in which the Company began to conduct business giving rise to the relevant withholding or deduction. 

(k) The Company will not give any notice of redemption pursuant to clause (i) above earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on
which it would be obligated to make such payment or 

  
 -44- 

 
withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Prior to the publication or,
where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel, the choice of such counsel to be subject to the prior written approval of the
Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Company to redeem the Notes hereunder. In addition, before the Company publishes or mails notice of redemption
of the Notes, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that it cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. 

(l) The Trustee will accept, and will be entitled to rely solely on, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
proof of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described in clause (k) above, in which event such satisfaction of the conditions precedent will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. 

(m) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06. 

 

	Section 3.08	Mandatory Redemption. 

 The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
  

	Section 3.09	Offers to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

 (a) In the event that, pursuant
to Section 4.16, the Company is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will follow the procedures specified below. 
 (b) The
Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Sale Offer Period”). No later than five days after
the termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period (the “Asset Sale Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds to the purchase of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a
pro rata basis, if applicable) required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.16 (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”), or, if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount of Notes (and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness) has been so
validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments on the Notes are made. 

(c) If the Asset Sale Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid
interest to the Asset Sale Purchase Date will be paid on the Asset Sale Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender
Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 (d) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall mail a notice to each of the
Holders or otherwise deliver such notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to
the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and, if required, all Holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 

(1) that an Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.16 and the expiration time of the
Asset Sale Offer Period; 

  
 -45- 

 (2) the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the purchase price, including the portion
thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest, and the Asset Sale Purchase Date; 
 (3) that Notes must be tendered in
integral multiples of $1,000 (subject to clause (8) below), and any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making the payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer
will cease to accrue interest on and after the Asset Sale Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to such Note completed, the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address
specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Purchase Date; 

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, receives at the address specified in the notice, not later than the expiration of the Asset Sale Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder
tendered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Note purchased; 

(7) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the
Asset Sale Offer Amount, then the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate accreted value or principal amount, as applicable, of the Notes of each series or such Pari Passu
Indebtedness tendered and the selection of the Notes for purchase shall be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate (or, in the case of Notes issued as Global Notes, based on a
method as the Depositary or its nominee or successor may require, or where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate), although no Note having
a principal amount of $2,000 shall be purchased in part; 
 (8) that Holders whose Notes of a particular series were
purchased only in part will be issued new Notes of such series equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes of such series surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the Notes of such series must be equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof); and 
 (9) the other procedures, as determined by the Company, consistent with this
Section 3.09 that a Holder must follow. 
 (e) On or before the Asset Sale Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful,
accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary or as otherwise provided in Section 4.16, the Asset Sale Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn
pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or, if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so tendered, in the case of the Notes, in whole number multiples of $1,000;
provided that if, following 

  
 -46- 

 
repurchase of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so
repurchased shall be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase is $2,000. The Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the Notes so accepted and an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof so accepted and that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. 

(f) The Paying Agent or the Company, as the case may be, and the Company, with respect to any Pari Passu Indebtedness, will promptly, but in
no event later than five Business Days after termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period, mail or deliver to each tendering Holder or holder or lender of Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes
or the Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note of the applicable series, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note of the applicable series to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this
Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note) in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note of such series
surrendered; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, the Company will take any and all other actions required by the agreements governing the
Pari Passu Indebtedness. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale
Purchase Date. 
 (g) 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 requirements, laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with this Section 3.09 or Section 4.16 of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.09 or
Section 4.16 provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 Other than as specifically provided in this
Section 3.09 or Section 4.16, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

 Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all

rules and regulations that are then applicable to the Company (or, if the Company is not subject to such reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, then within those time periods for filing as are applicable to a filer that is not an
“accelerated filer” as defined in such rules and regulations), taking into account any extension of time, deemed filing date or safe harbor contemplated or provided for by Rule 12b-25, Rule 13a-11(c) and Rule 15d-11(c) under the Exchange
Act or successor provisions: 
 (1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms

accessible electronically. 
 (c) All reports specified in clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) above will be prepared in all material respects in
accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.

applicable) within the time periods specified above. 
 (e) If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, and if any such Unrestricted Subsidiary or group of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, if taken together as one Subsidiary, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by
this Section 4.06 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. 

(f) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.06 is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee’s receipt of them will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this

 (g) The Company will also make
available copies of all reports required by clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.06(a), if and so long as the Notes are listed on the Exchange and admitted for trading on the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, at the
offices of the Paying Agent or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such reports on the official website of the Exchange.

Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or
principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the

Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this
Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company and each Guarantor are taking or propose to take with respect
thereto). 
 (b) When any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company will promptly (which
shall be within ten Business Days following the date on 

  
 -50- 

 
which the Company becomes aware of such Default or Event of Default or receives notice of such Default or Event of Default) send to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such
Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereof.

accounting period) from the first day of the fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted

(b) The provisions of Section 4.08(a) will not prohibit:

 (b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the
Incurrence of any of the following items (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 
 (1) the Incurrence by the
Company and any Guarantors of Indebtedness under (and Guarantees in respect of) one or more Debt Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) not to exceed the greater of (i) $1,650.0

 (2) the
Incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; 
 (3) the Incurrence by the Company
and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees (other than any Additional Notes and their related Guarantees); 

(4) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease
Obligations, mortgage financings, industrial revenue bonds, purchase money obligations or other Indebtedness, in each case, Incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or
improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case whether through the direct purchase of such assets or through the purchase of Equity Interests of any Person owning
such assets, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed the greater of
(i) $300.0 million and (ii) 10.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at any time outstanding; 

(5) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for,
or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge, in whole or in part, any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be Incurred under
Section 4.09(a) or clauses (2), (3), this clause (5) or (10) of this Section 4.09(b); 
 (6) the Incurrence by
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 

(A) if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured
and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes; 

  
 -56- 

 (B) if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the
Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Note Guarantee; and 

(C) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held
by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in
each case, to constitute an Incurrence (as of the date of such issuance, sale or transfer) of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6); 

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

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, 
 will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary
that was not permitted by this clause (7); 
 (8) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes; 
 (9) any Guarantee of Indebtedness
of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be Incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated or pari
passu with the Notes, the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed; 

(10) Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness; 

(11) Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, public liability insurance, unemployment insurance,

surety bonds; 
 (12) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the
honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days
of Incurrence; 

  
 -57- 

 (13) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consisting

 (14) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect
of Treasury Management Arrangements, Incurred in the ordinary course of business; and 
 (15) the Incurrence by the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any
Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (15), not to exceed the greater of (i) $150.0 million and (ii) 5.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined as of the date of such Incurrence. 

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to divide and
classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, on the date of its Incurrence, or later re-divide and reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as
applicable, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under Debt Facilities (including the Senior Credit Facilities, but excluding the Notes and the related Note Guarantees) outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to
have been Incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) and not Section 4.09(a) or the exception provided by clause (2) of Section 4.09(b), and may not later be reclassified. 

(d) The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on
any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in
the form of additional shares of the same class of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09;
provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. 
 (e) The
reclassification of any lease or other liability of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness due to a change of accounting principles after the Issue Date will not be deemed an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this
Section 4.09. 
 (f) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 4.09, Guarantees or Liens
supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have Incurred such Indebtedness. 

(g) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S.
dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness,
or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the

  
 -58- 

 
applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-dominated restriction
shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum
amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
  

	Section 4.10	Liens. 

 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, directly or indirectly, Incur or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets, or income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to
receive income therefrom, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens (1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness,
the Notes and the related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens or (2) in all other cases, the Notes and the related Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured
or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens. 
 (b) Any Lien on any property or
assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to Section 4.10(a) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged at such time
as there are no other Liens of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) on such property or assets securing Indebtedness. 
  

	Section 4.11	Additional Guarantees. 

 (a) If any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary (i) Incurs Indebtedness (including by Guaranteeing Indebtedness) under the Senior Credit Facilities or (ii) Guarantees any Indebtedness in an amount of at least $25.0 million in principal amount of the Company or any Guarantor
after the Issue Date, then that Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor within 30 days of the date on which it Incurred or Guaranteed such Indebtedness by executing and delivery to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the
form of Exhibit C hereto. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Note Guarantee provided pursuant to the terms
hereof by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, the Cayman Islands, the Netherlands or Brazil, including a Note Guarantee existing on the Issue Date, may be (or may be modified to become) a
Limited Guarantee if the Company, in consultation with local counsel, makes a reasonable determination that such limitations are required due to legal requirements within such jurisdiction. 

(c) Each Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06. 

  
 -59- 

	Section 4.12	Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 

 (a) The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
to: 
 (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock (or with respect to any other interest or
participation in, or measured by, its profits) to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in
receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Capital Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make dividends or distributions on Capital Stock); 

(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of
the loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being
understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 4.12(a)). 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 4.12(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 

(1) agreements (including agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Debt Facilities (including the Senior Credit
Facilities)) as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications,
renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date, as
determined by the Company in its reasonable and good faith judgment; 
 (2) this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees
and documentation related to each of the foregoing and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements,
modifications, renewals, supplements. refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in this Indenture, the Notes and
the Note Guarantees and related documentation on the Issue Date, as determined by the Company in its reasonable and good faith judgment; 

(3) agreements or other documents governing other Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 and any
amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that either (A) the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such
agreements or other documents are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, as determined by the Company in its reasonable and good faith judgment, than those in effect on the Issue Date or contained in this Indenture, the Notes, the Note
Guarantees or documentation 

  
 -60- 

 
related to the foregoing or (B) any such encumbrance or restriction contained in such agreements or documents does not prohibit (except upon a default or an event of default thereunder) the
payment of dividends in a manner that, as determined by the Company in good faith, would result in the Company being unable to, to make principal and interest payments on the Notes as and when they come due; 

(4) applicable law, rule, regulation, approval, permit or order; 

(5) any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was Incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not
applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this
Indenture to be Incurred; and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or instruments; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications,
renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions, than those contained in those agreements governing such Indebtedness
or Capital Stock, as determined by the Company in its reasonable and good faith judgment; 
 (6) any agreement or instrument
relating to property or assets acquired after the Issue Date, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in in anticipation of such acquisition and any amendments,
restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or instruments; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements or instruments, as determined by the Company in its reasonable and good faith
judgment; 
 (7) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts, leases, licenses and other agreements entered into in the
ordinary course of business; 
 (8) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and
Capital Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.12(a); and any amendments, restatements, modifications,
renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of agreements governing such purchase money obligations or Capital Lease Obligations; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements,
refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in agreements governing such purchase money obligations or Capital
Lease Obligations, as determined by the Company in its reasonable and good faith judgment; 
 (9) any agreement for the sale
or other disposition of Capital Stock or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending such sale or other disposition; 

  
 -61- 

 (10) in the case of clause (3) of Section 4.12(a), Liens permitted to
be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.10, that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 

(11) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, partnership
agreements, limited liability company agreements, asset sale agreements, sale and leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered
(i) in the ordinary course of business or (ii) into with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; 

(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or required by insurance, surety or bonding
companies, in each case, under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; and 
 (13) encumbrances or
restrictions with respect to property under a charter, lease or other agreement that has been entered into in the ordinary course for the employment, charter or other hire of such property. 

 

	Section 4.13	Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

 (a) The Board of Directors of
the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market
Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount
available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.08 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that
time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause
a Default. 
 (b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing
with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted
by Section 4.08. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Company will be in default
of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth
in Section 4.09(a), calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; (2) all Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such designation
as a Restricted Subsidiary would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted to be Incurred for all purposes of this Indenture; and (3) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. 

  
 -62- 

	Section 4.14	Transactions with Affiliates. 

 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any properties or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction,
contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration to or from the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $25.0 million, unless: 
 (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not
materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an
unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis or, if in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is
otherwise fair to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and 
 (2) the Company
delivers to the Trustee: 
 (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate consideration to or from the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $35.0 million but no greater than $50.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions complies with this Section 4.14; and 
 (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions complies with this Section 4.14 and that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(b) The following will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, Section 4.14(a) will not apply to: 

(1) any employment agreement, severance agreement, consulting agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director
indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto; 

(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company
solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 

(4) payment of customary compensation (including bonuses) to, and the provision of customary indemnity and other benefits
(including pursuant to any employment agreement or any retirement, health, stock option or stock ownership or other benefit plan) on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  
 -63- 

 (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Company to, or receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of the Company; 
 (6) Restricted Payments that are
permitted under Section 4.08 and Permitted Investments permitted under this Indenture; 
 (7) transactions between the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that would not otherwise constitute an Affiliate Transaction except for the fact that one director of such other Person is also a director of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
applicable; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, on any matter involving such other Person; 

(8) any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a
letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the requirements of
clause (1) of Section 4.14(a); 
 (9) 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; provided that in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Company, such
transactions are on terms not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a
Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company; 
 (10) any transaction where the only consideration paid by the Company or
the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is Qualifying Equity Interests of the Company; and 
 (11) transactions pursuant to
agreements or arrangements in effect on the Issue Date or pursuant to the Separation Documents, or, in each case, any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or arrangement, as so amended,
modified, supplemented or replaced is not materially more disadvantageous to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date or, in the case of the Separation Documents,
as described in the Offering Memorandum. 
  

	Section 4.15	Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each
Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on
the terms set forth in this Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered, as applicable (the “Change of Control Purchase
Date”), subject to the rights of Holders on a Record Date to receive interest due on the Change of Control Purchase Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, 

  
 -64- 

 
the Company will send a notice of such Change of Control Offer to each Holder or otherwise deliver notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in each case, with a copy
to the Trustee, with the following information: 
 (1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section
4.15, and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted by the Company; 
 (2)
the purchase price and the Change of Control Purchase Date; 
 (3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain
outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Purchase Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date; 
 (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered
Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile, transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(7) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is
conditional upon the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (8) the other instructions, as determined by the Company,
consistent with this Section 4.15, that a Holder must follow. 
 The notice, if mailed or otherwise delivered in a manner herein provided,
shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (A) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (B) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but
it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. 

(b) Promptly following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer on the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in integral multiples of $1,000) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, provided that if, following repurchase of a portion of a Note,
the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so repurchased shall be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding
immediately after such repurchase is $2,000; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes 

  
 -65- 

 
properly tendered and not withdrawn and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating
the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with this Section 4.15; 

(c) Payment of the Change of Control Payment for a Note properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Change of Control
Offer is conditioned upon delivery of such Note (together with necessary endorsements) to the Paying Agent (whether prior to, on or after the Change of Control Purchase Date), which delivery may be in book-entry form in accordance with the
procedures of the Depositary for Global Notes. The Change of Control Payment for such Note will be made promptly following the later of the Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date or the time of delivery of such Note. 

(d) In the event that the Company makes a Change of Control Payment, the Paying Agent will promptly mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance
with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or if all Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of
Depositary), and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note of the applicable series
equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes of such series surrendered, if any; provided, however, that each new Note of such series will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of
$2,000. 
 (e) If the Change of Control Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any
accrued and unpaid interest to the Change of Control Purchase Date will be paid on the Change of Control Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. 

(f) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to a series of Notes upon a Change of Control if
(1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer with respect to such series in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the
Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption with respect to such series has been given pursuant to this Indenture pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.07, unless and
until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Company has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes
of such series validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control
Offer is made. 
 (g) In the event that not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2022 notes or 2024
notes, as applicable, are properly tendered and not withdrawn under a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of such Notes of such series,
the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Purchase Date to redeem all of the 2022 notes or 2024 notes, as applicable, that remain
outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes of such series that remain outstanding, to
the date of redemption. 

  
 -66- 

 (h) 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 requirements, 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 this 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 under this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 (i) The Change of Control provisions described in this
Section 4.15 that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control may be waived, amended or modified with respect to that series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes of such series then outstanding. 
 (j) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.15, any purchase pursuant to this
Section 4.15 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06. 
  

	Section 4.16	Asset Sales. 

 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless: 
 (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, receives consideration at the time of consummation of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (which may be measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests
issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 
 (2) at least 75% of the total consideration from such Asset Sale and all
other Asset Sales on a cumulative basis since the Issue Date received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that for purposes of this clause (2) of this
Section 4.16(a) only and no other purpose, each of the following will be deemed to be cash (without duplication): 
 (A) any
liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Disqualified Stock, contingent liabilities and other liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary against further liability; 
 (B) Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Stock, contingent liabilities
and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or a Note Guarantee) of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale; provided that the Company and each other Restricted
Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale; 
 (C) any securities,
notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 180 days after receipt thereof, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the
extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; 

  
 -67- 

 (D) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (3) and
(4) of Section 4.16(b); and 
 (E) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (e) that is at the time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 3.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash
Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); 
 provided
that in the case of any Asset Sale pursuant to a condemnation, seizure, appropriation or similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, or any casualty, actual or constructive total loss or an agreed or compromised total loss, such Asset
Sale shall not be required to satisfy the requirements of clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.16(a). 
 (b) Within 365 days
after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply such Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 

(1) to permanently reduce (and permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto): (i) Secured Indebtedness under the
Senior Credit Facilities, (ii) Secured Indebtedness of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Indebtedness) or Secured Indebtedness of a Guarantor (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Indebtedness) or
(iii) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(2) to permanently repay or reduce other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu
Indebtedness”), other than Disqualified Stock and Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if the Company shall so reduce any such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company shall equally and ratably
reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided either, at the Company’s option, under Section 3.07, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.16 for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes
that would otherwise be paid; 
 (3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another
Person engaged in a Permitted Business, if, in the case of any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company after giving effect to such acquisition; or 

(4) to make a capital expenditure or to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are
used or useful in a Permitted Business; 
 provided, that the requirement of clause (3) or (4) of Section 4.16(b)
shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to any Asset Sale if, within 365 days after such Asset Sale, the Company or the 

  
 -68- 

 
applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have entered into a binding commitment with respect to an acquisition, expenditure or investment, in compliance with such clause
(3) or (4), and that acquisition, expenditure or investment is substantially completed no later than one year and six months after the date of such Asset Sale. 

(c) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds
temporarily to reduce the Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.16(b) will constitute “Excess
Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, within five days thereof the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any
outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, Incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased,
prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, and will be payable
in cash (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date to receive interest due on the Asset Sale Purchase Date), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness,
as applicable. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture and they will no longer constitute Excess Proceeds. 

If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection
with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes of each series and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Global Notes will be selected by such
method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where the nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate), based on the amounts tendered or
required to be prepaid or redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each
Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
 (e) 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 requirements, laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
  

	Section 4.17	Effectiveness of Covenants. 

 (a) If on any date after the Issue Date (such date, a
“Suspension Date”): 
 (1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies; and

 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, 

  
 -69- 

 the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of Sections
4.08, 4.09, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.16, 4.18 and 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 
 (b) If at any
time the Notes do not have an Investment Grade Rating from at least one of the Rating Agencies or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated (such date of reinstatement, the
“Reinstatement Date”) and 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
occurrence of any subsequent Suspension Date; provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees 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, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the
applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between any Suspension Date and the corresponding Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

(c) On each Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09(a) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.09(b) (in each case to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the
Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or (b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date,
so that it is classified under clause (2) of Section 4.09(b). Calculations made after any Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08 will be made as though Section 4.08 had been in effect
since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during any Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(a). 

(d) During any Suspension Period, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (e) Promptly following the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date,
the Company will provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date has occurred or notify the Holders
of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to any Holder upon request. 
  

	Section 4.18	Business Activities. 

 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company). 

 

	Section 4.19	Maintenance of Listing. 

 The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain the listing of the Notes on the Exchange for so long as such Notes are outstanding; provided that if at any time the 

  
 -70- 

 
Company determines that it will not maintain such listing, it will obtain prior to the delisting of the Notes from the Exchange, and thereafter use its best efforts to maintain, a listing of such
Notes on another “recognised stock exchange” as defined in Section 1005 of the Income Tax Act 2007 of the United Kingdom. 
  

	Section 4.20	Payment of Additional Amounts. 

 (a) All payments made by the Company or any Guarantor
under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, assessment, or other governmental charge of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed (including any penalties and interest related thereto) (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes
imposed or levied by or on behalf of (i) any jurisdiction in which the Company, (including any Successor Company) or any Guarantor (or any Successor Guarantor), are then incorporated, engaged in business, organized or otherwise resident for tax
purposes or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax or (ii) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Company (including, without limitation, the
jurisdiction of any Paying Agent) (each of (i) and (ii), a “Tax Jurisdiction”), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes, including, without limitation, payments of
principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Company (or the applicable Guarantor) will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in
respect of such payments by each Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes after such withholding or deduction (including any such withholding or deduction from such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in
respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to: 

(1) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of the Notes
being a citizen or resident or national of, or incorporated in, the relevant Tax Jurisdiction in which such Taxes are imposed or having any other present or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction other than the mere acquisition,
holding, exercise or enforcement of rights, or receipt of payment in respect of the Notes or under the applicable Note Guarantee; 

(2) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder of the Note or
Beneficial Owner of the Notes to comply, to the extent such Holder is legally entitled, with any reasonable written request, made by the Company or any Guarantor to that Holder or Beneficial Owner in writing at least 90 days before any such
withholding or deduction would be payable, (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or Beneficial Owner or (ii) to make any valid and timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any
certification information or other reporting requirement, which, in either case, is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to any exemption from or reduction
in all or part of such Taxes; 
 (3) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a
Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been
presented on the last day of such 30 day period); 

  
 -71- 

 (4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, excise, personal property or
similar Taxes; 
 (5) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payments to any Holder who is a fiduciary, partnership or
other person other than the sole Beneficial Owner of such payment to the extent that the Beneficial Owner of such fiduciary, partnership or other person would not have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had such Beneficial Owner been
the Holder of the Note; 
 (6) any Taxes withheld, deducted or imposed on a payment to an individual that are required to be
made pursuant to Council Directive 2003/48/EC of 3 June 2003 (as amended, modified or replaced from time to time, including by Council Directive 2014/48/EU of 24 March 2014) or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN
Council meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing or complying with or introduced in order to conform to, such directives; 

(7) any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under or with respect to, the Notes or under the
Note Guarantee; or 
 (8) any combination of items (1) through (7) above. 

(b) The Company or a Guarantor, as applicable, will also pay and indemnify the Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration,
value added, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) or Taxes which are levied by any Tax Jurisdiction on the
execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, this Indenture, any Note Guarantee, or any other document or instrument referred to therein or the receipt of payments with respect thereto. 

(c) If the Company or any Guarantor become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes
or any Note Guarantee, the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to
that payment date, in which case the Company will notify the Trustee promptly after such obligation arises (and in any event within five Business Days thereof)) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable
and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officers’ Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall
be entitled to rely solely on such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts. 
 (d) The Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will make all withholdings and deductions
required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. Upon request, the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, will provide to the Trustee an official receipt
or, if official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld and will attach to each official receipt or other documentation an Officers’
Certificate stating the amount of such Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Upon request, copies of those official receipts or other documentation, as the case may be, will be made available by the Trustee to the
Holders of the Notes. 
 (e) This Section 4.20 will survive termination, defeasance pursuant to Article 8 or discharge pursuant to
Article 11 of this Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or Beneficial Owner of its 

  
 -72- 

 
Notes and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or any
jurisdiction from or through which such person makes any payment on the Notes (or any Note Guarantee) and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.

	Section 6.02	Acceleration. 

 (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in
clause (9) of Section 6.01(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, specifying the Event of Default, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding applicable series of
Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such
declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation to
accelerate the applicable series of Notes if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers, in good faith, determines acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of Notes unless a written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to an officer of the Trustee with direct responsibility for the administration of the Indenture and the
applicable series of Notes, by the Company or any Holder of the applicable series of Notes. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default described in
clause (9) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the applicable series of Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. 
 (c) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the applicable series of Notes
because an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.01(a) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if: 

(1) the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.01(a) shall be remedied or cured by
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto; and 

(2) (A) the annulment of the acceleration of the applicable series of Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction and (B) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the applicable series of Notes, have been
cured or waived. 

  
 -78- 

 (d) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding applicable series of Notes
may waive all past Events of Default (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the applicable series of Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable series of Notes that have become due
solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and (3) there had been paid to or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all amounts due to the Trustee and to reimburse the Trustee for any and all fees,
expenses and disbursements advanced by the Trustee, its agents and its counsel incurred in connection with such Default. 
  

	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, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable series of Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the applicable series of Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the applicable series of Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All
remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
  

	Section 6.04	Waiver of Past Defaults. 

 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding applicable series of Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the applicable series of Notes, waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except: 

(1) a continuing Default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note held by a non-consenting
Holder (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer); and 
 (2) a Default with respect to
a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected, 
 provided that, subject to
Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding applicable series of Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon
any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
right consequent thereon. 
  

	Section 6.05	Control by Majority. 

 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
applicable series of Notes 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, this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

  
 -79- 

	Section 6.06	Limitation on Suits. 

 Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder may pursue any remedy with
respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that
an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
applicable series of Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer
and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

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

	Section 6.07	Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change
of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

 

	Section 6.08	Collection Suit by Trustee. 

 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(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 and any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest
remaining unpaid on the Notes, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. 
  

	Section 6.09	Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

  
 -80- 

	Section 6.10	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

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

	Section 6.11	Priorities. 

 If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6,
it shall pay out the money and property in the following order: 
 (1) to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for
amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

(2) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest ratably, without preference
or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

(3) to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, including a Guarantor, if applicable.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.11. Promptly after any
record date is set pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.02. 

 

	Section 6.12	Undertaking for Costs. 

 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such 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

  
 -81- 

 
litigant. This Section 6.12 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 outstanding Notes.

financial or otherwise, 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 for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory in its sole
discretion to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

any Default or Event of Default unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the existence of a

 (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time
such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.07)) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or any Guarantor, or
liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder), except to the extent set forth in the last sentence of this clause (b). 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
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company and the Guarantors need not (i) pay for any settlement made without the consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) reimburse any expense or

 (d) To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors
in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(a)(9) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

 

	Section 7.08	Replacement of Trustee. 

 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of
a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice of such resignation
to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in
writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
  

	Section 8.01	Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

 The Company may, at any time,
pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes of a series upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article 8. 
  

	Section 8.02	Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

 (a) Upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with
respect to the Indenture, all outstanding Notes of the applicable series and the related Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding applicable series of Notes and related Note Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the
purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) through (4) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes, Note Guarantees and this Indenture including that of
the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes of such series and related Note
Guarantees, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and premium,
interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04; 

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes of such series under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.10, 4.02;

 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture, and the Company’s and the
Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Section 8.02. 

(b) Following the Company’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes of the applicable series may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default. 
 (c) Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 

  
 -87- 

	Section 8.03	Covenant Defeasance. 

 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.09,
4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19 and clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) with respect to the outstanding Notes of the applicable series, and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been
discharged from their obligations with respect to the related Note Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the applicable series of Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to this Indenture and the
outstanding Notes of the applicable series, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes of the applicable series shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(3) that resulted solely from the failure of the Company to comply with
clause (4) of Section 5.01(a), Sections 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(6), 6.01(a)(7), 6.01(a)(8) and 6.01(a)(9) (solely with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), in each case, shall not constitute an Event of Default. 
  

	Section 8.04	Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

 (a) The following shall be the conditions
to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option under Section 8.02 or the Covenant Defeasance option under Section 8.03 with respect to the applicable series of Notes: 

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such series of Notes,
cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion (except in the case of cash) of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent
public accountants selected by the Company, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, on, interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as
the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes of such series are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee confirming that 
 (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a
ruling, or 
 (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 

  
 -88- 

 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that
the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant
Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any
material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of the
Guarantors is bound; 
 (6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit
was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes of such series over the other creditors of the Company, any Guarantor or others, with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the
Company, any Guarantor or others; 
 (7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and 

(8) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
Notes of such series at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (which instructions may be contained in the Officers’ Certificate referred to in clause (7) above). 

 

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

(a) Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05 and Section 11.02, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of
all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 -89- 

 (b) The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders.

 (c) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of an nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. 
  

	Section 8.06	Repayment to the Company. 

 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. 
  

	Section 8.07	Reinstatement. 

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

(5) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes of such series or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the

upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit C, and delivery of an Officers’
Certificate, except as provided in Section 5.01(c). 
  

	Section 9.02	With Consent of Holders. 

 (a) Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this
Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the applicable series of Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the

shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of such proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. 

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will give to the Holders a notice
briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure of the Company to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 (e) Without the consent of each affected Holder, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not: 

(1) reduce the percentage of principal amount of Notes of such series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or
waiver; 
 (2) reduce any premium payable upon redemption of any Notes of such series or change the date on which any Notes
of such series are subject to redemption (other than the notice provisions) or waive any payment with respect to the redemption of the Notes of such series; provided, however, that, solely for the avoidance of doubt, and without any other

 (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including
default interest, on any Note of such series;

the then outstanding Notes of such series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (5)
make any Note of such series payable in money other than that stated in the Notes of such series; 
 (6) impair the right of
any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on, such Holders’ Notes of such series on or after the due dates therefrom or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, such Holders’ Notes of
such series; 
 (7) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of
Holders of Notes of such series to receive payments of principal of, or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes of such series (other than waivers permitted by clause (8) below); 

(8) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note of such series (other than a payment required by

ranking of any such Note of such series or Note Guarantee in a manner that would adversely affect Holders of the Notes of such series. 
 A
consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantee by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 

 

	Section 9.03	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

 If this Indenture is qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act, every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

 

	Section 9.04	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the
consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes
effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 (b) The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date pursuant to Section 1.05 for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. 

  
 -93-

amendment, supplement or waiver.

waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the execution of
such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against them in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions.

required by the rules of such exchange, the Company shall inform the Exchange of any amendments, supplements and waivers pursuant to this Article 9 and provide, if necessary, a supplement to the Offering Memorandum setting forth reasonable details
in connection with any such amendments, supplements or waivers. Furthermore, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Company shall publish notice of any amendment, supplement and waiver on
the official website of the Exchange or in a daily newspaper with general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort). 

ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTEES 

 

	Section 10.01	Guarantee. 

 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and permitted assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the
obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the principal of and premium, if any, on and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal and 

  
 -94- 

 
interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the
terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”. Failing payment by the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so
guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06. 
 (c) Subject to Section 6.06, each of the
Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

(d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect. 
 (e) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees. 

(f) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the
Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored
or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or
any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

  
 -95- 

 (g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (h) Each payment
to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
  

	Section 10.02	Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each
Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of
each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections
from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution
from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP. 

 

	Section 10.03	Execution and Delivery.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes. 
 (c) If an Officer whose signature is on this
Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless. 

(d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 (e) If required by Section 4.11, the Company shall cause any newly created
or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.11 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 
  

	Section 10.04	Subrogation. 

 Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the
Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments
arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

  
 -96- 

	Section 10.05	Benefits Acknowledged.

 (a) A Note Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically
and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee shall be required for the release of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, upon: 

(1) (A) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition is made in compliance with Section 4.16 (it
being understood that only such portion of the Net Proceeds as is required to be applied on or before the date of such release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time); provided
that all the obligations of such Guarantor under all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries terminate upon consummation of such transaction; 

(B) any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving
effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition is made in compliance with Section 4.16 (it being understood that only such portion of the Net Proceeds as is required to be
applied on or before the date of such release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time) and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or
other disposition; 
 (C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary
in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (D) Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction

Incurred any Indebtedness in reliance on its status as a Guarantor under Section 4.09, such Guarantor’s obligations under such Indebtedness, as the case may be, so Incurred are satisfied in full and discharged or are otherwise permitted to
be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) under Section 4.09; or 
 (F) such Guarantor
consolidating with, merging into or transferring all of its assets to the Company or another Guarantor, and as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction such Guarantor dissolving or otherwise ceasing to exist; and

Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction or release have been complied with. 

(b) At the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably required in order to evidence such
release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Note Guarantee. 
 (c) In the event that any released Guarantor thereafter
borrows or Guarantees Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities or Guarantees certain other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, such former Guarantor will, if it is a Restricted Subsidiary, again provide a Guarantee of the Notes, in
accordance with and to the extent required by this Indenture. 
  

	Section 10.07	Swiss Limitation. 

 (a) If and to the extent that a Guarantor incorporated under the laws
of Switzerland (a “Swiss Guarantor”) becomes liable under this Indenture or otherwise in connection with the Notes for Obligations of its Affiliates (other than its Subsidiaries) and if complying with such Obligations would
constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by the
Swiss Guarantor or would otherwise be restricted under then applicable Swiss law (the “Swiss Restricted Obligations”), the aggregate liability of the Swiss Guarantor for Swiss Restricted Obligations shall be limited to the amount of
unrestricted equity capital available for distribution as dividends to the shareholders of the Swiss Guarantor at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to perform the Swiss Restricted Obligations (the “Swiss Maximum Amount”).

 (b) In the event that the Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment under this Indenture or otherwise in connection with the Notes
for Obligations and such payment is subject to the limitations set out in paragraph (a) above, the Swiss Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee up to the Swiss Maximum Amount (less, if required, the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax as described in
paragraph (c) below), to be applied against the Obligations. 
 (c) If so required under applicable law (including double tax treaties)
at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment under this Indenture or otherwise in connection with the Notes for Obligations, the Swiss Guarantor: 

(1) may deduct from such payment the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax at the rate of 35 per cent (or such other rate as is in
force at that time); and 
 (2) may pay the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and 

(3) shall notify and provide evidence to the Trustee that the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal
Tax Administration. 
 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Swiss Guarantor shall not be required to make a gross-up or indemnification for
the deduction of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax in accordance with paragraph (c) above to the extent and for as long as that would cause the Swiss Maximum Amount to be exceeded. 

(e) The Swiss Guarantor shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that any Affiliate which is, as a result of a payment under this Indenture
or otherwise in connection with the Notes, entitled 

  
 -98- 

 
to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax, will (i) request a refund of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax under any applicable law (including double tax treaties) to
be applied against the Obligations. 
  

	Section 10.08	Luxembourg Limitation. 

 The maximum liability and exposure of the Guarantors organized
in Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”), under or in connection with the Notes and the Senior Credit Facilities (collectively, the “Luxembourg Guaranteed Obligations”) shall be limited so that the maximum amount
payable by any such Luxembourg Guarantor for the Luxembourg Guaranteed Obligations of the Company or any other Guarantor, which is not a direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor, shall be limited at any time, with no
double counting, to an aggregate amount not exceeding the sum of: 
 (a) an amount equal to all moneys received directly or indirectly by
that Luxembourg Guarantor or any direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of that Luxembourg Guarantor which have been funded with (i) borrowings made under the Senior Credit Facilities or (ii) issuance proceeds of the Notes;
plus 
 (b) an amount equal to 90% of the higher of: 

(1) the Luxembourg Guarantor’s own funds (capitaux propres) as referred to in article 34 of the Luxembourg law of
19 December 2002 on the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended (the “2002 Law”) and its subordinated debts (as referred to in article 34, Passif, Section
B (Dettes Subordonnées) of the 2002 Law), as reflected in its last approved annual accounts available at the time a guarantee is called or a security interest is enforced under (x) the Notes and/or (y) the Senior Credit
Facilities; and 
 (2) the Luxembourg Guarantor’s own funds (capitaux propres) (as referred to in article 34 of
the 2002 Law) and its subordinated debt (as referred to in article 34, Passif, Section B (Dettes Subordonnées) of the 2002 Law), as reflected in its last approved annual accounts available as at the date of this Indenture.

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

  
 -99- 

 (B) all Notes of such series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise, or will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the
benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the
Notes of such series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium, if any, on, interest, if any, on and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes of such series, to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

 (2) in respect of subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of Notes on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any
similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any instrument to which the Company or any
Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent
deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 
 (3) the Company
or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Company under this Indenture with respect to such series of Notes; and 

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
Notes of such series at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 (b) In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of Section 11.01(a), the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive.

  

	Section 11.02	Application of Trust Money. 

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

(b) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of
any legal proceeding or by reason of any order 

  
 -100- 

 
or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture,
the Notes of the applicable series and the related Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent, as the case may be.

Restricted Notes Legend, and are accompanied by a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for exchange or registration of transfers and, as
applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto.

 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a
Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with: 

(i) a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 or
Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto; and

increase, 
 the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and
procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause

shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon an Authentication Order, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance
with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.2(d) of this Appendix A, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the
Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or another Global Note and
such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note
being transferred. 
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest
in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note 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 Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3 of this Appendix
A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

interest through another Transfer Restricted Global Note shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the transferor in the form provided on
the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for exchange or registration of

interest in either a Regulation S Global Note or a Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in an IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, to the
Trustee. 
 (ii) Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, (A) the Regulation S Global Note shall be a
temporary global security for purposes of Rules 903 and 904 under the Securities Act, whether or not designated as such on the face of such Note, and (B) interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or
Clearstream. During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the
Restricted Notes Legend on such Regulation S Global Note and any applicable securities laws of any state of the U.S. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend and upon receipt by the
Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for exchange or registration of transfers. Such written
certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in
accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the Indenture. 
 (iii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period,
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as
applicable, for an exchange from a Regulation S Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note. 
 (iv) Beneficial interests in a Transfer
Restricted Note that is a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a
transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable) and/or upon delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other
information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably request. 
 (v) If no Unrestricted Global Note is outstanding at the time of a
transfer contemplated by the preceding clauses (iii) and (iv), the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon an Authentication Order, a new Unrestricted Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), OF A PLAN, INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”) OR PROVISIONS UNDER ANY OTHER FEDERAL,

ACCOUNT OR ARRANGEMENT, OR (2) THE ACQUISITION AND HOLDING OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR A SIMILAR VIOLATION UNDER
ANY APPLICABLE SIMILAR LAWS. 
 (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Definitive Note, the Registrar
shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a Definitive Note that does not bear the Restricted Notes Legend and the Definitive Notes Legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted
Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such 

  
 7 

 
certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable) and provides such legal opinions, certifications and other
information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably request. 
 (v) Any Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not
be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 
 (f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the
Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note,
redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Registrar (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with
respect to such Global Note, by the Registrar or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 
 (g) Obligations with
Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
 (ii) No service charge
shall be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than
any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.15, 4.16, 4.20 and 9.05 of this Indenture). 

(iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may
deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(iv) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (v) In order to effect

Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel, in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that no registration under the Securities Act is required in respect of such exchange or transfer or the re-sale of such interest by the
beneficial holder thereof, shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar and the Trustee. 
 (h) No Obligation of the
Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member

the delivery to any participant, member, 

  
 8

rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished
by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or
duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among
Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms
of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
  

	Section 2.3	Definitive Notes. 

 (a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the
Trustee as Custodian pursuant to Section 2.1 may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global
Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.2 of this Appendix A and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to
be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such cessation or (ii) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depository. In addition, any Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such
Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note by providing a written request to the Company and the Trustee and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by
this Indenture or the Company or Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3. no Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for a Definitive Note until the end of the Distribution Compliance Period applicable to such
Regulation S Global Note and receipt by the Trustee and the Company of any certificates required by either of them pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act. 

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be surrendered by the
Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of
Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.2(e) of this
