available, as increased by, as of the date of determination, the estimated discounted future net revenues from 

(A)    estimated proved oil and gas reserves acquired since such year end, which reserves were not
reflected in such year-end reserve report, and 

(B)    estimated proved oil and gas reserves attributable to extensions, discoveries and other additions
and upward revisions of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves since such year-end due to exploration, development or exploitation, production or other activities, which would, in accordance with standard
industry practice, cause such revisions (including the impact to proved reserves and future net revenues from estimated development costs incurred and the accretion of discount since such year-end), and
decreased by, as of the date of determination, the estimated discounted future net revenues from 

(C)    estimated proved oil and gas reserves produced or disposed of since such year end to the extent such
estimated discounted future net revenues were included in such year-end reserve report or such estimated reserves under clauses (A) or (B) above, and 

  
 6 

 (D)    estimated proved oil and gas reserves attributable to
downward revisions of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves since such year-end due to changes in geological conditions or other factors which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause

as of a date no earlier than the date of the Parent Guarantor’s latest annual or quarterly financial statements, and 

(B)    the appraised value, as estimated by independent appraisers, of other tangible assets of the Parent
Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as of a date no earlier than the date of the Parent Guarantor’s latest audited financial statements; provided, that, if no such appraisal has been performed, the Parent Guarantor shall not be

company, corporation, limited partnership or other form of entity to a limited liability company, corporation, limited partnership or other form of entity or an exchange of all of the outstanding Capital Stock in one form of entity for Capital Stock
for another form of entity shall not constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event, so long as following such conversion or exchange the “persons” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) who Beneficially Owned the
Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor immediately prior to such transactions continue to Beneficially Own in the aggregate more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such entity, or continue to Beneficially Own sufficient Equity Interests in such entity

 (1)    if the Parent
Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary: 
 (a)    has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of
such period that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Consolidated EBITDAX and Consolidated Interest Expense
for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period and such proceeds had been applied as of such
date (except that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving Credit Facility outstanding on the date of such calculation will be deemed to be (i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four
fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (ii) if such revolving Credit Facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period
from the date of creation of such revolving Credit Facility to the date of such calculation, in each case, provided that such average daily balance shall take into account any repayment of Indebtedness under such revolving Credit Facility as
provided in clause (b)); or 
 (b)    has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any
Indebtedness since the beginning of the period, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage
Ratio involves a discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving Credit Facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated), Consolidated EBITDAX and
Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period; 

  
 14 

 (2)    if, since the beginning of such period, the Parent
Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary has made any Asset Disposition or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is such an Asset Disposition, the Consolidated EBITDAX for such period will be reduced
by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDAX (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDAX (if negative) directly
attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted
Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Parent Guarantor and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with or with the proceeds from such Asset Disposition for such period (or, if the Capital
Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Parent Guarantor and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are
no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale); 
 (3)    if, since the beginning of such
period, the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) has made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged with or into the Parent Guarantor or a
Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition (or will have received a contribution) of assets, including any acquisition or contribution of assets occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made under this Indenture, which
constitutes all or substantially all of a company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of business, Consolidated EBITDAX and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro
forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition or contribution had occurred on the first day of such period; and 

(4)    if, since the beginning of such period, any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary
or was merged with or into the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) made any Asset Disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause
(2) or (3) above if made by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated EBITDAX and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset
Disposition or Investment or acquisition of assets had occurred on the first day of such period. 
 For purposes of this definition,
whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined either (i) in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or
(ii) in good faith by the chief financial or accounting officer of the Parent Guarantor; provided that such Officer may in his or her discretion include any reasonably identifiable and factually supportable pro forma changes to

  
 15 

 
Consolidated EBITDAX, including any pro forma expenses and cost reductions, that have occurred or in the judgment of such officer are reasonably expected to occur within 12 months of the date of
the applicable transaction and that are set forth in an Officers’ Certificate signed by the chief financial or accounting officer of the Parent Guarantor that states (a) the amount of each such adjustment, (b) that such adjustments
are based on the reasonable good faith belief of the Officers executing such Officers’ Certificate at the time of such execution and (c) the factual basis on which such good faith belief is based. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate
of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the average rate in effect from the beginning of such period to the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire
period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness, but if the remaining term of such Interest Rate Agreement is less than 12 months, then such Interest Rate Agreement shall only be taken into account for that
portion of the period equal to the remaining term thereof). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an interest rate at the option of the Parent Guarantor, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate
chosen by the Parent Guarantor. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based
upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Parent Guarantor may designate.

following, without duplication and to the extent deducted (and not added back) in calculating such Consolidated Net Income:

Property, Plant and Equipment”; 
 (5)    other
non-cash charges of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding any such non-cash charge to the extent it represents an accrual of or reserve for

(6)    consolidated exploration (including all drilling, completion, geological and geophysical costs) and
abandonment expense of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries; and 
 (7)    the amount of

non-controlling interests, 

  
 16 

 if applicable for such period; and less, to the extent included in calculating such Consolidated Net Income and
in excess of any costs or expenses attributable thereto that were deducted (and not added back) in calculating such Consolidated Net Income, the sum of (x) the amount of deferred revenues that are amortized during such period and are
attributable to reserves that are subject to Volumetric Production Payments, (y) amounts recorded in accordance with GAAP as repayments of principal and interest pursuant to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments and (z) other non-cash gains (excluding any non-cash gain to the extent it represents the reversal of an accrual or reserve for a potential cash item that reduced Consolidated EBITDAX in
any prior period). 
 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, clauses (2) through (6) relating to amounts of a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Parent Guarantor will be added to Consolidated Net Income to compute Consolidated EBITDAX of the Parent Guarantor only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that the net income (loss) of such Restricted Subsidiary was included in
calculating the Consolidated Net Income of the Parent Guarantor and, to the extent the amounts set forth in clauses (2) through (6) are in excess of those necessary to offset a net loss of such Restricted Subsidiary or if such Restricted
Subsidiary has net income for such period included in Consolidated Net Income, only if a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the Parent Guarantor by such Restricted Subsidiary (unless it is the
Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor) without prior approval (that has not been obtained), pursuant to the terms of its charter and all agreements, instruments, judgments, decrees, orders, statutes, rules and governmental regulations applicable to that
Restricted Subsidiary or the holders of its Capital Stock. 
 “Consolidated Income Tax Expense” means, with respect to any

(4)    commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit and

THE SECURITIES

(a)    The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is
unlimited. The 2022 Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $700,000,000, and the 2025 Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. In addition, the Issuer may issue,
from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, Additional Securities, subject to compliance with Section 3.2. Any Additional Securities of a series that are not fungible with the Initial Securities
of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN from the Initial Securities of such series. Furthermore, Securities may be authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer, exchange or in lieu
of, other Securities pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.6, 2.10, 2.12, 5.8 or 9.5, in connection with an Asset Disposition Offer pursuant to Section 3.5 or in connection
with a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 3.9. 
 The 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes that are Initial
Securities shall be known and designated as “6.875% Senior Notes due 2022” and “7.125% Senior Notes due 2025”, respectively, of the Issuer. The 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes that are Additional Securities issued as Restricted
Securities shall be known and designated as “6.875% Senior Notes due 2022” and “7.125% Senior Notes due 2025”, respectively, of the Issuer. 

With respect to any Additional Securities, the Issuer shall set forth in (a) a Board Resolution of the Issuer and (b) (i) an
Officers’ Certificate and (ii) one or more indentures supplemental hereto, the following information: 

(1)    the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered

 (2)    the issue price, the issue date of such Additional Securities,
including the date from which interest shall accrue, the initial interest payment date of such Additional Securities and, if different from the Initial Securities of the applicable series, the CUSIP number and ISIN of such Additional Securities.

 In authenticating and delivering Additional Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying
upon, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate required by Section 12.4, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization, execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of such Additional
Securities. 
 The Initial Securities of a series and any Additional Securities of such series shall be considered collectively as a single
class for all purposes of this Indenture. Holders of the Initial Securities of a series and any Additional Securities of such series will vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class,
and none of the Holders of the Initial Securities or any Additional Securities of such series shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. 

  
 48 

 A copy of an appropriate record of the terms of any Additional Securities that are established by
action taken pursuant to Board Resolutions of the Issuer shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate and the indenture
supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Securities. 
 (b)    The Initial Securities are being
offered and sold by the Issuer pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated April 7, 2017, among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the Initial Purchasers. The Initial Securities and any Additional Securities
(if issued as Restricted Securities) (the “Additional Restricted Securities”) shall be resold initially only to (A) persons reasonably believed to be QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and
(B) Non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S. Such Initial Securities and Additional Restricted Securities may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs, purchasers in reliance on Regulation S
and IAIs in accordance with Rule 501 of the Securities Act, in each case, in accordance with the procedure described herein. Additional Securities offered after the Issue Date may be offered and sold by the Issuer from time to time pursuant to one
or more purchase agreements in accordance with applicable law. 
 Initial Securities and Additional Restricted Securities offered and sold
to persons reasonably believed to be QIBs in the United States of America in reliance on Rule 144A (the “Rule 144A Notes”) shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Security substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes), which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture,
including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Rule 144A Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as Securities Custodian, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided. The Rule 144A Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Rule 144A
Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as Securities Custodian, as hereinafter provided. 

Initial Securities and any Additional Restricted Securities offered and sold outside the United States of America (the “Regulation S
Notes”) in reliance on Regulation S shall initially be issued in the form of a permanent global Security substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes) including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Regulation S Global Note”) deposited upon issuance with, or on behalf of, the
Trustee as Securities Custodian in the manner described in this Article II for credit to the respective accounts of the purchasers (or to such other accounts as they may direct), including, but not limited to, accounts at Euroclear Bank
S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”). Prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Initial Securities and the Issue Date
(such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be transferred to Non-U.S. Persons pursuant to Regulation S,
unless exchanged for interests in another Global Security in accordance with the transfer and 

  
 49 

 
certification requirements described herein. Investors may hold their interests in the Regulation S Global Note through organizations other than Euroclear or Clearstream that are participants in
DTC’s system or directly through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. If such interests are held through Euroclear or Clearstream,
Euroclear and Clearstream shall hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries. Such
depositaries, in turn, shall hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. The Regulation S Global Note may be represented by more than one
certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 
 Initial Securities and
Additional Restricted Securities resold to IAIs (the “Institutional Accredited Investor Notes”) in the United States of America shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Security substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes) including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the
“Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note”) deposited with the Trustee, as Securities Custodian, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Institutional Accredited Investor Global
Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Institutional Accredited Investor Global
Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 

The Rule 144A Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note, and the Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note are sometimes collectively
herein referred to as the “Global Securities.” 
 The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities
shall be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3; provided, however, that, at the option of the Issuer, each installment of interest may be paid by check mailed to
addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Securities Register. Payments in respect of Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC. 
 The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case
of the 2025 Notes) and in Section 2.1(d). The Issuer shall approve any notation, endorsement or legend on the Securities. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall
be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes). The terms of the
Securities set forth in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Guarantors and
the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms. 

  
 50 

 (c)    Denominations. The Securities shall be issuable only in fully
registered form, without coupons, and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(d)    Restrictive Legends. Unless and until an Initial Security or an Additional Security issued as a Restricted Security
is sold under an effective registration statement: 
 (1)    the Rule 144A Global Note, the Regulation S
Global Note and the Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note shall bear the following legend on the face thereof:

 (3)    Each Security issued hereunder
that has more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS SUPPLIED SOLELY FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THIS SECURITY IS ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT UNDER
SECTIONS 1272, 1273 AND 1275 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. A HOLDER MAY OBTAIN THE ISSUE PRICE, AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT, ISSUE DATE AND YIELD TO MATURITY FOR THIS SECURITY BY SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR SUCH INFORMATION TO
THE ISSUER AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: ULTRA RESOURCES, INC., 400 NORTH SAM HOUSTON PARKWAY EAST, SUITE 1200, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77060, ATTENTION: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. 

(4)     Each Security issued hereunder shall also bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THIS NOTE BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY
AFTER THE LATER OF (I) APRIL 12, 2017 AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY. 

(e)    Book-Entry Provisions. 

(i)    This Section 2.1(e) shall apply only to Global Securities deposited with the Trustee, as
Securities Custodian. 
 (ii)    Each Global Security initially shall (x) be registered in the name
of Cede & Co. as the nominee of DTC, (y) be delivered to the Trustee as Securities Custodian and (z) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d). Transfers of a Global Security (but not a beneficial interest therein) will
be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, 

  
 53 

 
except as set forth in Section 2.1(e)(v) and 2.1(f). If a beneficial interest in a Global Security is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Security,
the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the
other Global Security. Any beneficial interest in one Global Security that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Security, will, upon
transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in the other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable
to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(iii)    Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by DTC or by the Trustee as the Securities Custodian or under such Global Security, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, the
Guarantors or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the
rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security. 
 (iv)    In connection with any
transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.1(f) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Securities, the Securities Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date and
a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee
shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Securities of like tenor and amount. 

(v)    In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to
Section 2.1(f), such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each
beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations. 

(vi)    The registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person,
including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 

  
 54 

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

(f)    Definitive Securities. 

(i)    Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be entitled
to receive Definitive Securities. If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Securities in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security upon written request in
accordance with DTC’s and the Registrar’s procedures. In addition, Definitive Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if (A) DTC notifies the Issuer that
it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Security or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case
a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (B) the Issuer, in its sole discretion, executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Global Security
shall be so exchangeable. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding sentence or in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence, Definitive Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Security or
beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of DTC (in accordance with its customary procedures). 

(ii)    Any Definitive Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to
Section 2.1(e)(iv) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the Restricted Securities Legend. 

(iii)    If a Definitive Security is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global
Security, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Definitive Security, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Security equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer
or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Security, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder
a new Definitive Security representing the principal amount not so transferred. 
 (iv)    If a
Definitive Security is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Security, (x) the Trustee will cancel the Definitive Security being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Securities in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the
case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Security (in the case of an exchange), registered in the 

  
 55 

 
name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Security, the Issuer shall
execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Securities in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive Securities, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 

SECTION 2.2    Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or
facsimile signature. If the Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized officer of the Trustee manually authenticates the Security. The signature of the Trustee on
a Security shall be conclusive evidence that such Security has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery: (1) the 2022 Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $700,000,000, (2) the 2025 Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, (3) subject to the
terms of this Indenture, (including compliance with Section 3.2), Additional Securities for original issue in an unlimited principal amount and (4) when sold in connection with an effective registration statement,
Initial Securities in the form of an unrestricted Global Security, in each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer (the “Issuer Order”). Such Issuer Order shall specify whether the Securities will
be in the form of Definitive Securities or Global Securities, the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be Initial
Securities or Additional Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the 2022 Notes and the 2025 Notes shall constitute a separate series hereunder. 

The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the
Securities. Any such instrument shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for
delivery of notices and demands. 
 In case the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or
shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer or any
Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee in accordance with Article IV, as
applicable, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered 

  
 56 

 
prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in
the name of the successor Person (in the case of Global Securities, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary) with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities
surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If
Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such
successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name. 

SECTION 2.3    Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain in the continental United States an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange (the “Securities Register”). The Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or Paying Agent. The Issuer may have
one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar. 
 The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying
Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Parent Guarantor or any of its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries organized
in the United States may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar for the
Securities at its corporate trust office in the United States, and as Paying Agent for the Securities at its corporate trust office in the United States The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or
Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor
Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause
(i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee. 

SECTION 2.4    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
date on which any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium or interest when due. The
Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by such 

  
 57 

 
Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer or other obligors on the Securities),
shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer or any Guarantor in making any such payment and shall during the continuance of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in
respect of the Securities, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith deliver to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities together with a full accounting thereof. If the Parent
Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds or assets disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall have
no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 

SECTION 2.5    Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, each of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors,
shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the
Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders. 
 SECTION 2.6    Transfer and
Exchange. 
 (a)    A Holder may transfer a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange
a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Security or Securities of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange,
accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by this Section 2.6. The Trustee shall promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this
Section 2.6 by noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange shall be effective until it is registered in such register. The transfer or exchange of any Security (or
a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 2.6 and Section 2.1(e) and 2.1(f), as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Security (or a beneficial interest therein), the
applicable rules and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. Subject to Section 2.6(h), the Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this Section 2.6(a).

 The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 

1.    We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Securities, and we
are acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risk of our investment in the Securities and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or
its investment. 

  
 62 

 2.    We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise transfer
such Securities prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale
Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof, (b) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of
Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB
and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S. persons that occur outside the United States within the meaning of
Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such
an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Securities of $250,000 for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of the
Securities Act or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of

 SECTION 2.10    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. If a
mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the
Trustee’s requirements are met, such that the Securityholder (a) satisfies the Issuer or the Trustee that such Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken within a reasonable time after such Securityholder has notice of such
loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer or Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined
in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other customary requirements of the Trustee; provided, however, if after the delivery
of such replacement Security, a protected purchaser of the Security for which such replacement Security was issued presents for payment or registration such replaced Security, the Trustee or the Issuer shall be entitled to recover such replacement
Security from the Person to whom it was issued and delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or
expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Trustee and the Issuer to protect
the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken
Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.10, the Issuer may require that such Holder pay a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 

Subject to the proviso in the initial paragraph of this Section 2.10, every new Security issued pursuant to this
Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken 

  
 65 

 
Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, any Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Securities, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or
wrongfully taken Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section 2.10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities. 

SECTION 2.11    Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by
the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding in the event the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the
Security; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining which are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of Section 12.6 shall apply and (ii) in determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities are present at a meeting of Holders of Securities for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in
favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be held by
the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall not be considered outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.10 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected
purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement pursuant to Section 2.10. 

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Redemption Date
or other maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or otherwise maturing, as the case may be, then on and after
that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

SECTION 2.12    Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms
of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of
Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer consider appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities. After the preparation of
Definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for Definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to
the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange 

  
 66 

 
therefor, one or more Definitive Securities representing an equal principal amount of Securities. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Securities. 
 SECTION 2.13    Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no
one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such Securities in accordance with its internal policies and customary procedures including delivery of a certificate
describing such Securities disposed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). If the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.13. The Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities they have
paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange. 
 At such time as
all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Securities, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned by DTC or the Securities Custodian 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 Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Security,
redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities Custodian for such
Global Security) with respect to such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 

SECTION 2.14    Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Security which is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such payment at
the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3. 
 Any interest on any
Security which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular record date, and such defaulted interest and (to
the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Securities (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election
in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a)    The Issuer may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall
be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”),
and at the same time the 

  
 67 

 
Issuer 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 in this clause provided. Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a record
date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which date shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt
by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date, and shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special
Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.2, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 

(b)    The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner
of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.14, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which
were carried by such other Security. 
 SECTION 2.15    Computation of Interest. 

(a)    Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months. 
 (b)    Solely for the purposes of the Interest
Act (Canada), whenever any interest is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (i) the applicable rate based on a year of 360
days, multiplied by (ii) the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for such interest is payable (or compounded) ends, divided by (iii) 360. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any
interest calculation under this Indenture; all interest payments to be made under this Indenture shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise, before and after demand, default and judgment. The rates of interest
specified in this Indenture are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates, and any interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation. 

SECTION 2.16    CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use
“CUSIP”, “Common Code” and “ISIN” numbers and, if so, the Trustee shall 

  
 68 

 
use “CUSIP”, “Common Code” and “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption or purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, Common
Code and ISIN numbers. 
 SECTION 2.17    Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar Not Responsible for Depositary.
None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in any Global Security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with any Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any Global Security
for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such
Global Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions
of any such Depositary with respect to any Global Security, for the records of any Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any Global Security, for any transactions between such Depositary and any
participant in such Depositary or between or among any such Depositary, any such participant or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Security or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any Global Security. 

SECTION 2.18    Payment of Additional Amounts. 

(a)    All payments made (or deemed to be made) to a holder of the Securities by a Guarantor pursuant to any Guarantee
shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto)
(collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Canadian government (or, with respect to any Guarantor incorporated or organized outside the United States or Canada, the government of the country in which such
Guarantor is incorporated or organized) or political subdivision or territory or authority or agency therein or thereof having the power to tax (each a “Non-U.S. Taxing Authority”), unless the
obligor thereon is required to withhold or deduct Taxes under any law or by the interpretation, application or administration thereof. 

(b)    If any such obligor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount of or on account of Taxes imposed by a Non-U.S. Taxing Authority from any payment made with respect to any Guarantee, such obligor shall pay, as additional interest, to each Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities that are outstanding on the date of
the required payment such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by such Holder or beneficial owner (including the Additional Amounts) after such withholding

  
 69 

 
or deduction (including withholdings and deductions on Additional Amounts) shall not be less than the amount such Holder or beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been
withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities (an “Excluded Holder”): 

(1)    which is subject to such Taxes by reason of the fact that it does not deal at arm’s length
(within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with the Parent Guarantor or any other Guarantor resident in Canada for tax purposes at the time of payment, if such payment is made by the Parent Guarantor or such other Canadian Guarantor; 

(2)    which is subject to such Taxes by reason of its being or having been connected with any Non-U.S. Taxing Authority other than by the mere holding or ownership, or deemed holding or ownership of the Securities or the receipt of payments thereunder or under any Guarantee or the enforcement of rights under
the Securities, this Indenture or any Guarantee (as a matter of, for example, citizenship, nationality, residence, domicile, or existence of a business or permanent establishment, a dependent agent, a place of business or a place of management
present or deemed present within the Non-U.S. Taxing Authority); 

(3)    where such Taxes are on account of any Tax imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the
Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S.
jurisdiction and the United States, with respect to the forgoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code; 

(4)    which failed to duly and timely comply with a timely request of the Issuer or any Guarantor in
writing to provide information, documents or other evidence concerning such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, entitlement to treaty benefits or identity, if and to the extent that (i) such Holder and/or beneficial
owner was legally able to comply with such request and (ii) due and timely compliance with such request is required by applicable law or administrative policy as a precondition to reduction or elimination of, and would have reduced or
eliminated, any Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder or beneficial owner but for this clause; 

(5)    which is a fiduciary or a partnership or not the sole beneficial owner of the relevant Security, if
and to the extent that any beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, any partner with respect to such partnership or any beneficial owner of such Security (as the case may be) would not have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts
with respect to the payment in question had such beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Security; 

(6)    in respect of any estate, gift, inheritance, value added, excise, transfer, or similar tax; or 

  
 70 

 (7)    any combination of the above clauses in this proviso.

 For the avoidance of doubt, no Additional Amounts will be owed for Taxes imposed by the United States government or any political
subdivision or territory or authority or agency therein or thereof having the power to tax. 
 (c)    The applicable
obligor on the Securities, this Indenture or any Guarantee, as the case may be, shall also be entitled to make any withholding or deduction required by a Non-U.S. Taxing Authority or other taxing authority and
remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The applicable obligor on the Securities, this Indenture or any Guarantee, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Holders , within 30 days
after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, copies of tax receipts, if any, evidencing that such payment has been made by such obligor, as applicable. 

(d)    In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Holder or
beneficial owner (without duplication) of the Securities that are outstanding on the date of the required payment and upon written request reimburse each such Holder or beneficial owner for the amount of: (i) any Taxes so levied or imposed by a
Non-U.S. Taxing Authority and paid by such Holder or beneficial owner (without duplication) as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Securities, this Indenture or any Guarantee (including, for
greater certainty, any Taxes payable under Section 803 of the regulations under the Income Tax Act (Canada)), but excluding any Taxes with respect to which such Holder or beneficial owner is an Excluded Holder, and (ii) any Taxes
imposed on such Holder or beneficial owner by a Non-U.S. Tax Authority (other than any Taxes with respect to which such Holder or beneficial owner is an Excluded Holder) with respect to any reimbursement under
clause (i) immediately above (collectively, a “Reimbursement Payment”). 
 (e)    At least 30 days
prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to any Note is due and payable, if any Guarantor becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee (or other applicable
paying agent) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable and the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee (or other applicable paying agent)
to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. 
 (f)    Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned,
in any context: (i) the payment of principal (and premium, if any), (ii) purchase prices in connection with a repurchase or a redemption of the Securities, (iii) interest, or (iv) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of
the Securities, this Indenture or the Guarantees, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts and Reimbursement Payments provided for in this Section 2.18 to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 
 (g)    The
Issuer and the Guarantors will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise, property or similar Taxes that are imposed by any Non-U.S. Taxing Authority from the execution,
delivery, issuance, initial resale, registration or 

  
 71 

 
enforcement of any Securities, this Indenture, the Guarantee or any other document or instrument in relation thereto (other than a transfer of the Securities). The obligations described in this
Section 2.18 shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any successor person to the Issuer or any Guarantor and to any jurisdiction in which such successor
is organized or is otherwise resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by such successor or its respective agents. 

ARTICLE III 
 COVENANTS

 SECTION 3.1    Payment of Securities. The Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date
the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money
to the Securityholders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the
rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, and subject to Section 2.18, the Issuer may,
to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder. 

SECTION 3.2    Limitation on Indebtedness and Preferred Stock. 

(a)    The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), and the Parent Guarantor will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Parent Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness and the
Issuer and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may Incur Indebtedness and issue Preferred Stock if on the date thereof: 

(1)    the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries is at least
2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of proceeds); and 

(2)    no Default would occur as a consequence of, and no Default or Event of Default would be continuing
following, the Incurrence of the Indebtedness or its application. 

  
 72 

 (b)    Section 3.2(a) will not prohibit the Incurrence of the
following Indebtedness: 
 (1)    Indebtedness under one or more Credit Facilities of (i) the Issuer
or any Guarantor Incurred pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(1) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greatest of (x) $1.25 billion, (y) the sum of $400.0 million and 30.0% of the Parent Guarantor’s Adjusted Consolidated

Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(1)(ii) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million as of the date of Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to such Incurrence and the application of the proceeds therefrom;

 (2)    guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;
provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being guaranteed is a Subordinated Obligation or a Guarantor Subordinated Obligation, then the related guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or the Guarantee
to at least the same extent as the Indebtedness being guaranteed, as the case may be; 

(3)    Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness
of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (i)(a) if the Issuer is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the obligee is not a Guarantor, such
Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Securities and (b) if a Guarantor is the obligor of such Indebtedness and the obligee is neither the Issuer nor another
Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of such Guarantor with respect to its Guarantee and (ii)(a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event
which results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary and (b) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this Section 3.2(b)(3);

 (4)    Indebtedness represented by (i) the Securities issued on the Issue Date and all
Guarantees, (ii) any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in Section 3.2(b)(1), (2) and 4(i)) outstanding on the Issue Date and (iii) any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness

(7)    Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary represented by Capitalized Lease
Obligations (whether or not incurred pursuant to Sale/Leaseback Transactions) or other Indebtedness Incurred in connection with the acquisition, construction, improvement or development of real or personal, movable or immovable, property, in each
case Incurred for the purpose of financing, refinancing, renewing, defeasing or refunding all or any part of the purchase price or cost of acquisition, construction, improvement or development of property used in the business of the Parent Guarantor
or its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the outstanding Indebtedness Incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(7), and any outstanding Indebtedness under Section
3.2(b)(4) incurred to refinance Indebtedness initially incurred in reliance on this Section 3.2(b)(7), shall not exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 2.5% of the Parent Guarantor’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets as of the date of Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to such Incurrence and the application of the proceeds therefrom; and provided further that the principal amount of any Indebtedness permitted under this
Section 3.2(b)(7) did not in each case at the time of incurrence exceed the Fair Market Value, as determined in accordance with the definition of such term, of the acquired or constructed asset or improvement or development so financed; 

(8)    Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer and any Subsidiary Guarantor; 

(9)    Cash Management Obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor in an aggregate amount not to exceed

(10)    Indebtedness issued in satisfaction of any Claims derived from or based upon makewhole, applicable
premium, redemption premium, or other similar payment provisions under the OpCo Notes MNPA or any other alleged premiums, fees, or Claims arising from the treatment of the OpCo Funded Debt Claims under the Approved Plan (capitalized terms used in
this clause (10) but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Approved Plan), including any Claims for damages or other relief arising from such treatment, which, when taken together with the principal amount

  
 74 

 
of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(10) and then outstanding, will not exceed $300.0 million, determined as of the date of Incurrence of such
Indebtedness after giving effect to such Incurrence and the application of the proceeds therefrom; and 

(11)    in addition to the items referred to in Sections 3.2(b)(1) through (10) above,
Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(11) and
then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (x) $125.0 million and (y) 2.5% of the Parent Guarantor’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, determined as of the date of Incurrence of such Indebtedness after giving effect to such
Incurrence and the application of the proceeds therefrom. 
 (c)    For purposes of determining compliance with, and the
outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 3.2: 

(1)    in the event an item of that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of
Indebtedness described in Section 3.2(a) and (b), the Parent Guarantor, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and, subject to Section 3.2(c)(2) below, may later classify,
reclassify or redivide all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 3.2; 

(2)    all Indebtedness outstanding on the date of this Indenture under the Senior Secured Credit
Agreements shall be deemed Incurred on the Issue Date under Section 3.2(b)(1); 

(3)    guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit supporting, Indebtedness which is
otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(4)    if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility and are
being treated as Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(1) and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(5)    the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary,
or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof; 

(6)    Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.2 need not be permitted solely by
reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 3.2 permitting such Indebtedness; and 

  
 75 

 (7)    the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is
less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP. 

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the amortization of debt discount or the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in
the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of FASB
ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging) will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.2. 

The Parent Guarantor will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness (including to issue any Disqualified
Stock) other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as
of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 3.2, the Parent Guarantor shall be in Default of this Section 3.2). 

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 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-denominated
restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.2, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that any Person may Incur
pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other 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 Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such
refinancing. 
 This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely
because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 

  
 76 

 SECTION 3.3    Limitation on Restricted Payments. 

(a)    The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to:

(A)    dividends or distributions by the Parent Guarantor payable solely in Capital Stock of the Parent
Guarantor (other than Disqualified Stock but including options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor); and 

(B)    dividends or distributions payable to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary and if such
Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to minority stockholders (or owners of an equivalent interest in the case of a Subsidiary that is an entity other than a corporation) so long as the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary
receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution; 
 (2)    purchase, repurchase,
redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor held by Persons other than the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than in
exchange for Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor (other than Disqualified Stock)); 
 (3)    purchase,
repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations (other than
(x) Indebtedness permitted under Section 3.2(b)(3) or (y) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations purchased in
anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value); or 

(4)    make any Restricted Investment; 

(any such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, other acquisition, retirement or Restricted Investment referred to in clauses
(1) through (4) is referred to herein as a “Restricted Payment”), if at the time the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment: 

 

	 	(A)	a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom); 

  

	 	(B)	the Parent Guarantor is not able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.2(a) after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Restricted Payment; or 

  
 77 

	 	(C)	the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date would exceed the sum of: 

(i)    50% of Consolidated Net Income for the period (treated as one accounting period) from the first day
of the fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which internal financial statements are available (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income
is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); 
 (ii)    100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the
Fair Market Value of property or securities other than cash (including Capital Stock of Persons engaged primarily in the Oil and Gas Business or assets used in the Oil and Gas Business), in each case received by the Parent Guarantor from the issue
or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) or other capital contributions subsequent to the Issue Date (other than Net Cash Proceeds received from an issuance or sale of such Capital Stock to (x) management, employees,
directors or any direct or indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds have been used to make a Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (5)(a) of Section 3.3(b), (y) a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or
(z) an employee stock ownership plan, option plan or similar trust (to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan, option plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted
Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination)); 

(iii)    the amount by which Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries is
reduced on the Parent Guarantor’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries
convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor (less the amount of any cash, or the Fair Market Value of any other property (other than such Capital Stock), distributed by the Parent Guarantor
upon such conversion or exchange), together with the net proceeds, if any, received by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries upon such conversion or exchange; and 

(iv)    the amount equal to the aggregate net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Parent
Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any Person after the Issue Date resulting from: 

(1)    repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Restricted Investments by such Person, proceeds
realized upon the sale of such Restricted Investment (other than to a Subsidiary of 

  
 78 

 
the Parent Guarantor), repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets (including by way of dividend or distribution) by such Person to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted
Subsidiary; 
 (2)    the re-designation of Unrestricted
Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries (valued in each case as provided in the definition of “Investment”) not to exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made by the Parent Guarantor or any
Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, which amount in each case under this clause (iv) was included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; provided, however, that no amount will be included under this clause
(iv) to the extent it is already included in Consolidated Net Income; and 
 (3)    the sale by the
Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) of all or a portion of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a dividend from
an Unrestricted Subsidiary (whether any such distribution or dividend is made with proceeds from the issuance by such Unrestricted Subsidiary of its Capital Stock or otherwise) (other than, in each case, to the extent the Investment in such
Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted Investment). 
 (b)    The provisions of Section 3.3(a) will not
prohibit: 
 (1)    any Restricted Payment made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the
substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the
extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination)
or a substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Parent Guarantor from its shareholders; provided, however, that (a) such Restricted Payment will be excluded from subsequent calculations of the amount of
Restricted Payments and (b) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale of Capital Stock or capital contribution will be excluded from clause (C)(ii) of Section 3.3(a); 

(2)    any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of
Subordinated Obligations of the Issuer or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of any Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Subordinated Obligations of the Issuer or any purchase, repurchase,
redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Guarantor Subordinated Obligations made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of Guarantor Subordinated Obligations that, in each case, is

  
 79 

 
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement for
value will be excluded from subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
 (3)    any
purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Disqualified Stock of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of,
Disqualified Stock of the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that, in each case, is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2; provided, however, that such purchase,
repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value will be excluded from subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

(4)    dividends paid or distributions made within 60 days after the date of declaration if at such date of
declaration such dividend or distribution would have complied with this Section 3.3; provided, however, that such dividends and distributions will be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of
Restricted Payments; and provided further, however, that for purposes of clarification, this clause (4) shall not include cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares included in clause (9) below; 

(5)    so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) the repurchase or other acquisition
of Capital Stock (including options, warrants, equity appreciation rights or other rights to purchase or acquire Capital Stock) of the Parent Guarantor held by any existing or former employees, management or directors of the Parent Guarantor or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or their assigns, estates or heirs, in each case pursuant to the repurchase or other acquisition provisions under employee stock option or stock purchase plans or agreements or other agreements to
compensate management, employees or directors, in each case approved by the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors; provided that such repurchases or other acquisitions pursuant to this subclause (a) during any calendar year will not
exceed $2.0 million in the aggregate (with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried over to succeeding calendar years without limitation); provided further, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not
to exceed (A) the cash proceeds received by the Parent Guarantor from the sale of Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor to members of management or directors of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries that occurs after the Issue
Date (to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Capital Stock have not otherwise been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments by virtue of clause (C) of Section 3.3(a)), plus (B) the cash proceeds of key man life
insurance policies received by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date, less (C) the amount of any Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (5)(a); provided further,

in excess of $2.0 million at any one time outstanding; provided, however, that the amount of such loans and advances will be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

(6)    purchases, repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements for value of Capital Stock
deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, rights to acquire Capital Stock or other convertible securities if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise or exchange price thereof, and any purchases, repurchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements for value of Capital Stock made in lieu of withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of warrants, options or rights to acquire Capital Stock; provided, however, that
such acquisitions or retirements will be excluded from subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

(7)    the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any
Subordinated Obligation (i) at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Obligation in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event in accordance with provisions similar to
Section 3.9 or (ii) at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof in accordance with provisions similar to Section 3.5; provided that, prior to or
simultaneously with such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Issuer has made the Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer, as applicable, as provided in such Section with respect to the
Securities of each series and has completed the repurchase or redemption of all Securities validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer; provided, however, that such
acquisitions or retirements will be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

(8)    payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law or in connection

subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
 (9)    cash payments in lieu of the
issuance of fractional shares; provided, however, that any payment pursuant to this clause (9) will be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

(10)    the declaration and payment of scheduled or accrued dividends to Holders of any class of or series
of Disqualified Stock of the Parent Guarantor issued after the Issue Date in accordance with Section 3.2, to the extent such dividends are included in Consolidated Interest Expense; provided, however, that any
payment pursuant to this clause (10) will be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

  
 81 

 (11)    any purchase or redemption of Subordinated
Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations from Net Available Cash to the extent permitted under Section 3.5; provided, however, that any payment pursuant to this clause (11) will be included in
subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; and 
 (12)    Restricted Payments in an
amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate since the Issue Date; provided, however, that the amount of such Restricted Payments will be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments. 

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the asset(s)
or securities proposed to be paid, transferred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment, except that the Fair Market Value of any
non-cash dividend or distribution made within 60 days after the date of declaration shall be determined as of such date. The Fair Market Value of any cash Restricted Payment shall be its face amount and the
Fair Market Value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined in accordance with the definition of that term. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment in excess of $20.0 million
that will be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments, the Parent Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon
which the calculations required by this Section 3.3 were computed. 
 In the event that a Restricted Payment meets
the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in (1) through (12) above or is entitled to be made pursuant to Section 3.3(a), the Parent Guarantor shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify such Restricted Payment.

 The Parent Guarantor shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence
of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purpose of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent
such Investments are repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investment.” Such designation will be permitted only if a
Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or under Section 3.3(b)(12), or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise
meets the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” 

  
 82 

 SECTION 3.4    Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from
Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a)    The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor to: 

(1)    pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other
obligations owed to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (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
Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock); 

(2)    make any loans or advances to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood
that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Parent Guarantor 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 property or assets to the Parent Guarantor
or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (b)    The preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

(1)    any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to or by reason of an agreement in effect at or entered into
on the Issue Date, including, without limitation, this Indenture as in effect on such date; 
 (2)    any
encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Person pursuant to or by reason of an agreement relating to any Capital Stock or Indebtedness Incurred by a Person on or before the date on which such Person was acquired by the Parent Guarantor or
another Restricted Subsidiary (other than Capital Stock or Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such
Person was acquired by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary or in contemplation of the transaction) and outstanding on such date; provided that any such encumbrance or restriction shall not extend to any assets or property of the
Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets and property of such acquired Person; 

(3)    encumbrances and restrictions contained in contracts entered into in the ordinary course of
business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of, or from the ability of the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries to realize the value of, property or assets of the
Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

(4)    any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to or by reason of
an agreement that the Unrestricted Subsidiary is a party to entered into before the date on which such Unrestricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in anticipation of the Unrestricted
Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and any such encumbrance or restriction shall not extend to any assets or property of the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets and property of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary; 

  
 83 

 (5)    with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary, any
encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was Incurred if either (1) the encumbrance or restriction applies to such Foreign Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries only in
the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (2) the Parent Guarantor determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Parent
Guarantor’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Securities, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor, whose determination shall be conclusive; 

(6)    any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement
effecting a refunding, replacement or refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clauses (1) through (5) or clause (12) of this Section 3.4(b) or this clause (6) or contained in any amendment,
restatement, modification, renewal, supplemental, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (1) through (5) or clause (12) of this Section 3.4(b)or this clause (6); provided that the
encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement taken as a whole are no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements
governing the Indebtedness being refunded, replaced or refinanced; 
 (7)    in the case of Section
3.4(a)(3), any encumbrance or restriction: 
 (A)    that restricts in a customary manner the
subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease (including leases governing leasehold interests or farm-in agreements or farm-out
agreements relating to leasehold interests in oil and gas properties), license or similar contract, or the assignment or transfer of any such lease (including leases governing leasehold interests or farm-in
agreements or farm-out agreements relating to leasehold interests in oil and gas properties), license (including, without limitation, licenses of intellectual property) or other contract; 

(B)    contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements permitted under this Indenture securing
Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such encumbrances or restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to such mortgages, pledges or other security agreements; 

(C)    contained in any agreement creating Hedging Obligations permitted from time to time under this
Indenture; 
 (D)    pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests
set forth in any reciprocal easement agreements of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 84 

 (E)    restrictions on cash or other deposits imposed by
customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; or

respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in operating agreements, joint venture agreements, development agreements, area of mutual interest agreements and other agreements that are customary in the Oil and Gas Business and
entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (8)    any encumbrance or restriction contained in
(a) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and (b) Capitalized Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in
Section 3.4(a)(3) on the property so acquired; 
 (9)    any encumbrance or restriction with
respect to a Restricted Subsidiary (or any of its property or assets) imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition of all or a portion of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (or
the property or assets that are subject to such restriction) pending the closing of such sale or disposition; 

(10)    any customary encumbrances or restrictions imposed pursuant to any agreement of the type described
in the definition of “Permitted Business Investment”; 
 (11)    encumbrances or restrictions
arising or existing by reason of applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order; 

(12)    encumbrances or restrictions contained in agreements governing Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be Incurred pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with Section 3.2; provided that the provisions relating to such
encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor taken as a whole, as determined by the Board of Directors or a responsible financial officer of the Parent Guarantor in good faith,
than the provisions contained in the Senior Secured Credit Agreements and in this Indenture as in effect on the Issue Date; 

(13)    the issuance of Preferred Stock by a Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of dividends thereon in
accordance with the terms thereof; provided that issuance of such Preferred Stock is permitted pursuant to Section 3.2 and the terms of such Preferred Stock do not expressly restrict the ability of a Restricted
Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such Preferred Stock prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such
other Capital Stock); 
 (14)    supermajority voting requirements existing under corporate charters,
bylaws, stockholders agreements and similar documents and agreements; 

  
 85 

 (15)    restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth
imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; and 
 (16)    any
encumbrance or restriction contained in the Senior Secured Credit Agreements as in effect as of the Issue Date, and in any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof;
provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor taken as a whole, as determined by the Board of
Directors or a responsible financial officer of the Parent Guarantor in good faith, than those contained in the Senior Secured Credit Agreements as in effect on the Issue Date. 

SECTION 3.5    Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 

(a)    The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition
unless: 
 (1)    the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives consideration at
the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the Capital Stock or other assets subject to such Asset
Disposition; 
 (2)    except in the case of an Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration (determined
on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) received by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from such Asset Disposition and all other Asset Dispositions since the Issue Date, on a cumulative basis, is in
the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, or any combination thereof; and 
 (3)    except as provided in
Section 3.5(b), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied, within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, by the Parent Guarantor
or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be: 
 (A)    to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase
(x) Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor (other than Disqualified Stock, Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations) or (y) Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Stock) of a Restricted Subsidiary that is
not a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Issuer) (in each case, excluding Indebtedness owed to the Parent Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor); 

(B)    to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor (in
each case, excluding Indebtedness owed to the Parent Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor); provided, however, that the Issuer will either (1) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Securities on an equal or
ratable basis with any Pari Passu Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B) by, at its option, (x) redeeming Securities as provided under paragraph 5 of the form of Securities set forth in Exhibit A-1 (in the case of
the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes) and/or (y) purchasing 

  
 86 

 
Securities through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions at market prices (which shall be at or above par) and/or (2) make an offer (in accordance with the provisions
set forth in this Section 3.5 for an Asset Disposition Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Securities on an equal or ratable basis with any Pari Passu Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B) (which offer shall
be deemed to be an Asset Disposition Offer for purposes hereof); or 
 (C)    to invest in Additional
Assets; 
 provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (A), (B) or (C) above, the
Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. The requirement of clause (C) above shall be deemed to be satisfied
if an agreement (including a lease, whether a capital lease or an operating lease) committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to therein is entered into by the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiary within the specified time
period and such Net Available Cash is subsequently applied in accordance with such agreement within six months following such agreement. 

(b)    Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested as provided in Section
3.5(a)(3) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Not later than the 366th day from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) and, to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all
holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition to purchase the maximum principal amount of the
Securities and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount (or, in the event such Pari
Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) of the Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such
lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness), to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.5 or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000,
provided that the unpurchased portion of each Security must be equal to a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. If the aggregate principal amount of the Securities surrendered by Holders
thereof and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of tendered Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of the Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less
than the Excess Proceeds, the Parent Guarantor and its 

  
 87 

 
Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. Upon completion of such Asset Disposition
Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (c)    The Asset Disposition 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 Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the
Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Issuer will purchase the principal amount of the Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to this
Section 3.5 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 (d)    If the Asset
Disposition Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business
on such record date, and no further interest will be payable to Holders who tender the Securities pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. 

(e)    On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a
pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions of Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset
Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case in integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, provided that the unpurchased portion of each Security must be equal to a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.5 and, in addition, the Issuer will deliver all certificates
and notes required, if any, by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Issuer or the paying agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition
Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of the Securities or holder or lender of Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Securities or Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and
not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer will promptly issue a new Security, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Issuer Order and Officers’ Certificate from
the Issuer, will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Security to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered; provided that each such new Security will be in a minimum principal amount
of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. In addition, the Issuer will take any and all other actions required by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness. Any Security not so accepted will be promptly mailed or
delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on the Asset Disposition Purchase Date. 

  
 88 

 (f)    The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of the Securities pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.5, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Indenture by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 (g)    For the
purposes of Section 3.5(a)(2), the following will be deemed to be cash: 
 (1)    the assumption
by the transferee of Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor (other than Guarantor Subordinated Obligations or Disqualified Stock of the Parent Guarantor) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Obligations of the Issuer,
Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor or Disqualified Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary) and the release of the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such
Asset Disposition (in which case the Parent Guarantor will, without further action, be deemed to have applied such deemed cash to Indebtedness in accordance with Section 3.5(a)(3); 

(2)    with respect to any Asset Disposition of oil and gas properties by the Parent Guarantor or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries in which the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary still retains an interest, any agreement by the transferee (or any Affiliate thereof) to pay all or a portion of the costs and expenses related to the
exploration, development, completion or production of such properties and activities related thereto; 

(3)    securities, notes or other obligations received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary
from the transferee that are converted by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after receipt thereof; and 

(4)    any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (4) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.5% of Adjusted
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset
Disposition). 
 (h)    The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any
Asset Swaps, unless: 
 (1)    at the time of entering into such Asset Swap and immediately after giving
effect to such Asset Swap, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and 

  
 89 

 (2)    in the event such Asset Swap involves the transfer by
the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary of assets having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $20.0 million, the terms of such Asset Swap have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent
Guarantor. 
 (i)    Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.5, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article V. 

SECTION 3.6    Limitation on Liens. The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) other than Permitted Liens upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries), including
any income or profits therefrom, whether owned on the date of this Indenture or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Lien effective provision is made to secure the
Securities (in the case of the Issuer) or, in respect of Liens on any property or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), any Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary,
equally and ratably with (or senior in priority to, in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, as the case may be) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so
secured. 
 Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien
shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien. 

SECTION 3.7    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Parent Guarantor and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries
covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Parent Guarantor and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of
any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been
enacted. 
 SECTION 3.8    Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. 

(a)    The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
enter into, make, amend or conduct any transaction (including making a payment to, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service), contract, agreement or understanding with or for the benefit of any Affiliate
of the Parent Guarantor in excess of $5.0 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless: 

(1)    the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a
Person who is not such an Affiliate; and 

  
 90 

 (2)    either: 

(A)    if such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million
but not greater than $50.0 million, the Parent Guarantor delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (1) above; or 

(B)    if such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million,
the Parent Guarantor delivers to the Trustee a Board Resolution adopted by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor having no personal stake in such transaction approving the terms of such transaction and set forth
in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (1) above. 

(b)    Section 3.8(a) will not apply to: 

(1)    any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 3.3 or any
Permitted Investment; 
 (2)    any issuance of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock), or other
payments, awards or grants in cash, Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment or severance agreements and other compensation arrangements, options to purchase Capital Stock (other than
Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor, restricted stock plans, long-term incentive plans, stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee benefits plans and/or insurance and indemnification arrangements provided to or
for the benefit of directors and employees approved by the Board of Directors or properly designated committee of the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor; 

(3)    loans or advances to employees, officers or directors in the ordinary course of business of the
Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (4)    advances to or reimbursements of
employees for moving, entertainment and travel expenses, drawing accounts and similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(5)    any transaction between the Parent Guarantor and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted
Subsidiaries, and guarantees issued by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 3.2; 

(6)    any transaction with a joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate
Transaction solely because the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, an Equity Interest in or otherwise controls such joint venture or similar entity; 

  
 91 

 (7)    the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than
Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor to an Affiliate, or the receipt by the Parent Guarantor of any capital contribution from its shareholders; 

(8)    indemnities of officers, directors and employees of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries permitted by bylaw or statutory provisions and any employment agreement or other employee compensation plan or arrangement entered into in the ordinary course of business by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 (9)    the payment of reasonable compensation and fees paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of,
officers or directors of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (10)    the performance of
obligations of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of any agreement to which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party as of or on the Issue Date, as these agreements may be amended,
modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time; provided, however, that any future amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal entered into after the Issue Date will be permitted only to the extent that its
terms are not materially more disadvantageous, taken as a whole, to the Holders than the terms of the agreements in effect on the Issue Date; 

(11)    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 of the Parent Guarantor or the senior management of the Parent
Guarantor, such transactions are on terms not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor 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 Guarantor; 

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

(13)    transactions between the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director
of which is also a director of the Parent Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor, and such director is the sole cause for such Person to be deemed an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary;
provided, however, that such director shall abstain from voting as a director of the Parent Guarantor or such direct or indirect parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person; and 

(14)    any transaction or arrangement contemplated or required by the Approved Plan. 

  
 92 

 SECTION 3.9    Purchase of Securities Upon a Change of Control
Triggering Event. 
 (a)    If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to a series of Securities,
unless one of the three exceptions described in Section 3.9(f) applies, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities of such series at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the principal amount of the Securities of such series plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record of such series on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event,
unless one of the three exceptions described below in Section 3.9(f) applies, the Issuer will send a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Securities of such series, with a copy to the Trustee, stating:

 (1)    that a Change of Control Offer is being made and that such Holder has the right to require the
Issuer to purchase such Holder’s Securities of such series at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date) (the “Change of Control Payment”); 

(2)    the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date
such notice is sent) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); provided, that the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed, in the Issuer’s discretion, until such time (including more than 60 days after the date such
notice is sent (subject to the applicable procedures of DTC)) as any or all such conditions referred to in clause (9) below shall be satisfied; 

(3)    that any Security not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

 (4)    that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Securities
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5)    that Holders electing to have any Definitive Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer will be required to surrender such Securities, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Securities in certificated form 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 Payment Date; 

(6)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Securities and their election to require
the Issuer to purchase such Securities, provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of the Holder of the Securities, the principal amount of the Securities tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Securities and its election to have such Securities purchased; 

  
 93 

 (7)    that if the Issuer is repurchasing a portion of the
Security of any Holder, the Holder will be issued a new Security equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered, provided that the unpurchased portion of the Security must be equal to a minimum principal
amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; 
 (8)    the procedures
determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities repurchased; and 

(9)    if such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, stating that
the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein and shall describe each such condition, and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s
discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuer reasonably believes
that any or all such conditions (including the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event) will not be satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed. 

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

(1)    accept for payment all Securities or portions of the Securities properly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer and not properly withdrawn, provided that the unpurchased portion of the Security must be equal to a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; 

(2)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all
Securities or portions of the Securities accepted for payment; and 
 (3)    deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Securities or portions of the Securities being purchased by the Issuer. 

(d)    The Paying Agent will promptly mail or deliver to each Holder of the Securities accepted for payment the Change of
Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if
any; provided that each such new Security will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 

(e)    If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest
payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no further interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer. 

  
 94 

 (f)    The Issuer is not required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) any other Person makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with this Section 3.9 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by
the Issuer and purchases all Securities of the applicable series validly tendered and not properly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (ii) notice of redemption of all outstanding Securities of the applicable series has been given
pursuant to Section 5.5 of this Indenture, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control Triggering Event,
the Issuer has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Securities of the applicable series validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Securities
of such series properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 
 (g)    A Change of Control
Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Triggering Event at the time of making
the Change of Control Offer. 
 (h)    The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.9, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 3.9 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 (i)    If
Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer and the Issuer, or any other Person making a
Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Securities of such series validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 15 nor more
than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer, as applicable, to redeem all Securities of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase
at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (j)    The Issuer’s
obligation to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Section 3.9 may be waived or modified or terminated with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Securities of such series then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such series) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event. 

  
 95 

 (k)    Other than as specifically provided in this
Section 3.9, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article V. 

SECTION 3.10    Provision of Financial Information. 

(a)    Whether or not the Parent Guarantor is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, to the extent not prohibited by the Exchange Act, the Parent Guarantor will file with the SEC, and deliver to the Trustee and make available to the Holders without cost to any Holder, the annual reports and the information,
documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation within the time
periods specified therein with respect to a non-accelerated filer. In the event that the Parent Guarantor is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange
Act, the Parent Guarantor will nevertheless deliver such Exchange Act information to the Trustee and make available to the Holders without cost to any Holder as if the Parent Guarantor were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation within the time periods specified therein with respect to a non-accelerated filer. 

(b)    If the Parent Guarantor has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the financial
information required will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, or in any accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(c)    Any direct or indirect parent entity of the Parent Guarantor may satisfy the obligations of the Parent Guarantor
set forth in this Section 3.10 by providing the requisite financial and other information of such parent entity instead of the Parent Guarantor so long as (i) the Parent Guarantor is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of such
parent entity and (ii) such parent entity does not conduct any business other than the holding of Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor, does not have any material liabilities other than liabilities of the Parent Guarantor, does not own any
material assets other than the Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor and does not generate or derive any material revenues other than the revenues of the Parent Guarantor; provided that to the extent such parent entity holds assets (other
than its direct or indirect interest in the Parent Guarantor) that exceeds the lesser of (i) 0.5% of the total assets of such parent entity and (ii) 0.5% of the total revenue for the preceding fiscal year of such parent entity, then such information
related to such parent entity shall be accompanied by consolidating information, which may be unaudited, that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information of such parent entity, on the one hand, and the information relating
to the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand. 

  
 96 

 (d)    The availability of the foregoing materials on the SEC’s website
or on the Parent Guarantor’s (or its parent entity’s) website shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing delivery obligations to the Holders. 

(e)    For so long as any Securities remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144,
if the Parent Guarantor is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Parent Guarantor will furnish to the Holders, and to securities analysts and bona fide prospective investors, upon their
request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (f)    In
addition, no later than five Business Days after the date the annual and quarterly financial information for the prior fiscal period have been filed or furnished pursuant to Section 3.10(a) (or customary earnings releases in respect thereof),
the Parent Guarantor (or its parent entity) shall also hold live quarterly conference calls (which may be the same call held by the Parent Guarantor (or its parent entity) for its public equity holders). 

(g)    The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine if and when the reports, information and documents of the Parent
Guarantor are filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system and available on the SEC’s EDGAR website or available on the Issuer’s website. 

(h)    Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which
the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provision of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or
otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein. 
 SECTION 3.11    Future Subsidiary
Guarantors. The Parent Guarantor will cause (a) each of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) formed or acquired after the Issue Date and (b) any other Domestic Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) that is not
already a Subsidiary Guarantor that guarantees any of the Parent Guarantor’s or the Issuer’s Indebtedness or any Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 30 days a supplemental
indenture (in substantially the form specified in Exhibit B to this Indenture) pursuant to which such Subsidiary will unconditionally guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Securities on a senior basis; provided that any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Subsidiary Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary. 

SECTION 3.12    Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where the
Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where, if applicable, the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be made. The corporate trust office of the Trustee indicated in Section 2.3 shall be such office or agency of the Issuer, unless the Issuer shall designate and maintain some other office or agency

  
 97 

 
for one or more of such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee indicated in
Section 12.2, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no service of legal process may be made on the Issuer
at any office of the Trustee. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities
may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of
any such other office or agency. 
 SECTION 3.13    Corporate Existence. Except as otherwise provided in
Article IV, the Parent Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory), licenses
and franchises; provided, however, that the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise if it shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Parent Guarantor. 
 SECTION 3.14    Payment of Taxes. The
Parent Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed
upon the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or charge the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 

SECTION 3.15    Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the Issue Date a statement (which need not be an Officers’ Certificate) signed by the principal executive officer, the principal accounting officer or the principal financial officer of the Issuer,
stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries has performed their respective obligations under this Indenture, and further stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall
describe such Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

SECTION 3.16    Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Parent Guarantor and its
Restricted Subsidiaries will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

  
 98 

 SECTION 3.17    Statement by Officers as to Default. The Issuer
shall, so long as any Security is outstanding, deliver to the Trustee within 10 Business Days after the occurrence of a Default, a written notice setting forth the details of such Default, or Events of Default, and what action the Issuer is taking
or proposing to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 3.18    Covenant Termination. 

(a)    From and after the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the provisions of this Indenture described above in Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.8 and Section 4.1(a)(3) hereof (collectively, the “Eliminated
Covenants”). 
 (b)    After the Eliminated Covenants have been terminated, the Parent Guarantor may not
designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” After the Eliminated Covenants have been terminated, the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted
Subsidiaries shall be entitled to incur Liens permitted under Section 3.6 (including, without limitation, Permitted Liens). To the extent Section 3.6 and any Permitted Liens refer to one or more
Eliminated Covenants, such Section 3.6 or definition shall be interpreted as though such applicable Eliminated Covenant(s) continued to be applicable following such termination (but solely for purposes of
Section 3.6 and the “Permitted Liens” definition and for no other section of this Indenture). 

(c)    On the date of the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee, specifying (i) that a termination of the foregoing covenants under this Section 3.18 has occurred and (ii) the date of the commencement of any termination of the foregoing covenants
under this Section 3.18. The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor the ratings of the Securities or whether or not an Investment Grade Rating Event or the termination of the foregoing covenants has occurred, nor any
duty to notify the Securityholders of any of the foregoing. 
 ARTICLE IV 

SUCCESSOR COMPANY 

SECTION 4.1    Merger and Consolidation. 

(a)    Neither the Parent Guarantor nor the Issuer will consolidate with or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or
not it is the surviving Person), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person, unless: 

(1)    (A) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be
a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided that in the case where the Successor

  
 99 

 
Company of the Issuer is not a corporation, a co-issuer of the Securities is a corporation; and (B) the Successor Company (if not the Parent Guarantor
or the Issuer, as the case may be) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Securities or the
relevant Guarantee, as applicable; 
 (2)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and
treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such
transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 (3)    immediately
after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four quarter period, either (A) the Successor Company would be able to Incur at
least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Parent Guarantor is equal to or greater than the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Parent Guarantor immediately before
such transaction; 
 (4)    if the Successor Company of the Issuer is not the Issuer, each Guarantor
(unless it is the other party to the transactions, in which case clause (1) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to the Successor Company’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and
the Securities and that its Guarantee shall continue to be in effect; and 
 (5)    the Parent Guarantor
or the Issuer, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 

For purposes of this Section 4.1, the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, as the case may be, which assets, if held by the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the
assets of the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable. 

The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer,
as the case may be, under this Indenture; and its predecessor, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, will be released from all obligations under this Indenture, the Securities or the relevant Guarantee, as applicable.

 Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a)(3), (x) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or wind up into, or dispose of
all or part of its assets to, the Parent Guarantor, and the Parent Guarantor may consolidate with, merge into or wind up into, or dispose of all or part of its assets to, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor and (y) the Parent Guarantor and the
Issuer may 

  
 100 

 
merge with or into an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, as the case may be, in another State of the United States or the District
of Columbia; provided that, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that consolidates with, merges into, winds up into or disposes of all or part of its properties and assets to the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or the
Issuer, as the case may be, will not be required to comply with the preceding Section 4.1(a)(5). 
 (b)    In
addition, the Parent Guarantor will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with, merge with or into or wind up into, and will not permit the disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor to, any Person
(other than the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor) unless: 
 (1)    (a) the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person will be a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia and
such Person (if not such Subsidiary Guarantor) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and its Guarantee; and (b) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Person or
such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or 

(2)    the transaction results in the release of the Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under this
Indenture and its Guarantee after and in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.2 and 

(3)    the Parent Guarantor will have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that such transaction and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE V 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

SECTION 5.1    Redemption. The Securities of a series may be redeemed (a) as a whole or from time to time
in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices specified in paragraph 5 of the form of Securities set forth in Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes) hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, or (b) as a whole, and not less than as a whole, subject to the conditions and at
the redemption price specified in Section 3.9(i) or Section 5.9, as applicable, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. 

SECTION 5.2    Applicability of Article. Redemption of Securities at the election of the Issuer, as permitted
by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article. 

  
 101 

 SECTION 5.3    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The
election of the Issuer to redeem any Securities of a series pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuer, the Issuer
shall, not later than five Business Days prior to giving notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 5.5 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date
and of the principal amount of Securities of a series to be redeemed and, in the case of any redemption of less than all Securities of such series, shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the
Securities of such series to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.4. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 

SECTION 5.4    Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all Securities of a series are
to be redeemed at any time pursuant to an optional redemption, the particular Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Securities of such
series not previously called for redemption, in compliance with the requirements, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee, of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities
are listed, or, if such Securities of such series are not so listed, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate (or, in the case of Global Securities, the
Trustee will select Securities of such series for redemption based on such method as DTC may prescribe); provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to
less than $2,000. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of
any Securities selected for partial redemption, the method it has chosen for the selection of Securities and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 

SECTION 5.5    Notice of Redemption. 

(a)    Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.2, not less
than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, except that that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a legal
defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII or except as set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 5.5(b). At the Issuer’s request, the
Trustee shall give notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the giving of such notice (unless
a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice at the Issuer’s expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
following items. 

  
 102 

 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(1)    the Redemption Date, 

(2)    the redemption price, if then determinable, and otherwise the method for its determination and the
amount of accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.7, if any, 

(3)    if less than all outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the identification of the
particular Securities of such series (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial
redemption, 
 (4)    in case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which
relates to such Security of such series shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security of such series, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the
principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 
 (5)    that on the Redemption Date, the redemption
price (and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.7) will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuer defaults in
making the redemption payment, that interest on Securities called for redemption (or the portion thereof) will cease to accrue on and after said date, 

(6)    the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price
and accrued interest, if any, 
 (7)    the name and address of the Paying Agent, 

(8)    that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price, 
 (9)    the CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN numbers, if applicable, and that no
representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN numbers, if applicable, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities, 

(10)    the Section of this Indenture or the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the Securities
are to be redeemed, and 
 (11)    if in connection with any conditional notice of redemption pursuant to
the Issuer’s right to redeem all of the Securities upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, and in compliance with Section 5.5(b), that such redemption is conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event occurring. 

(b)    Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent and, in the case of a redemption with the Net Cash 

  
 103 

 
Proceeds of an Equity Offering, be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice
shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or
delivered, including by electronic transmission (subject to the applicable procedures of DTC)) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or
all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if the Issuer reasonably believes that any or all of such
conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. 

SECTION 5.6    Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date,
the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient (as determined by the Issuer) to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on, all Securities of a series which are to be redeemed on that date, other than Securities of
such series or portions of Securities called for redemption that are beneficially owned by the Issuer and have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. 

SECTION 5.7    Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities or portions of Securities of a series so to be redeemed without a condition precedent shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the only right of the Holders thereof will be to receive
payment of the redemption price and, subject to the next sentence, unpaid interest on such Securities to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the
Issuer at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder
of such Security, or one or more predecessor Securities, registered as such as of the relevant record date. 
 If any Security called for
redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the unpaid principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Securities. 

SECTION 5.8    Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security of a series which is to be redeemed only in part
(pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.12 (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so require, due endorsement
by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security at the expense of the 

  
 104 

 
Issuer, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Security so surrendered; provided, that each such new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

SECTION 5.9    Tax Redemption. 

(a)    The Issuer may, at its option, upon providing not less than 30 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders,
redeem, in whole but not in part, the outstanding Securities at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption if any Guarantor has become or would become obligated to pay any
Additional Amounts or any Reimbursement Payments in respect of any Guarantee as a result of: 

(1)    any change in or amendment to the laws (or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Non-U.S. Taxing Authority, or 
 (2)    any change in or amendment to
any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings, technical interpretations, income tax folios, interpretation bulletins, information circulars or equivalent documents issued by a Non-U.S. Taxing Authority (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (without regard to whether
the Issuer or any Guarantor is or has been making any payments under the Securities prior to, at or after the time such change or amendment is announced or effective). 

(b)    It shall be a condition to the Issuer’s right to redeem the Securities pursuant to the provisions of
Section 5.9(a) that, prior to giving any notice of redemption of the Securities, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer has determined in its reasonable judgment that the
obligations to pay such Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments cannot be avoided by such Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel that such Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay
Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments as a result of an amendment or change described in Section 5.9(a). 

(c)    No such notice of redemption may be given more than 60 days before or more than 180 days after any Guarantor first
becomes liable (or, if later, the earlier of the date on which such Guarantor first becomes aware of its liability or the date on which it reasonably should have become aware of its liability) to pay any Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments
as a result of a change or amendment described in Section 5.9(a). 
 ARTICLE VI 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

SECTION 6.1    Events of Default. 

(a)    An “Event of Default” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events in relation to
the Securities of a series (whatever the reason for such Event of 

  
 105 

 
Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body): 
 (1)    default in any payment of interest on any Security of
such series when due, continued for 30 days; 
 (2)    default in the payment of principal of or premium,
if any, on any Security of such series when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 

(3)    failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor to comply with its obligations under Article IV; 

(4)    failure by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 30 days (or 180 days in
the case of a Reporting Failure) after notice has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Parent Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of the applicable series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder with Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4,
3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 (in each case, other than a failure to purchase Securities of such series which will constitute an Event of Default under clause (2) above and other than a failure to
comply with Article IV which is covered by clause (3)); 
 (5)    failure by the Parent Guarantor
or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any agreement in this Indenture or the Securities (other than an agreement, a default in or failure to comply with that is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) and continuance of such default
or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Parent Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of the applicable series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

Indebtedness owed to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee existed at the Issue Date, or was created thereafter, which default: 

(A)    is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness
prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (and any extensions of any grace period) (“payment default”); or 

  
 106 

 (B)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior
to its Stated Maturity (the “cross acceleration provision”); 
 and, in each case, the principal amount of
any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more; 

(7)    the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in
respect of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries),
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer
or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary
bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited
consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or of any substantial part of its or their property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its or their
affairs, and the continuance of any decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; 

(8)    the commencement by the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary or group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it or them to the entry of a decree or order for relief or in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it or them, or the filing by it or
them of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it or them to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial
statements 

  
 107 

 
for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its or their property, or the making by it or them of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it or them in writing of its or their inability to pay its or their debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a
Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in
furtherance of any such action; 
 (9)    failure by the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final
judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid or discharged, and there shall
be any period of 60 consecutive days following entry of such final judgment or decree during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or decree, by reason of pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect (the “judgment
default provision”); or 
 (10)    any Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor or a Significant
Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, ceases to be in full
force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Subsidiary Guarantors
that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or its
Guarantee. 
 (b)    However, a default under clauses (4) and (5) of Section 6.1(a) will not constitute an
Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series notify the Parent Guarantor in writing and, in the case of a notice given by the Holders, the Trustee of the
default and the Parent Guarantor does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (4) and (5) of Section 6.1(a) after receipt of such notice. 

SECTION 6.2    Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses
(7) and (8) of Section 6.1(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series by notice to the Issuer and the
Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Securities of such series to be due and payable. Upon such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
all Securities of such series shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clauses (7) and (8) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of Securities, the principal of,
premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest, if 

  
 108 

 
any, on all Securities of such series will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an Event of Default specified clause (6) of Section 6.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to a series of Securities, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration (to the extent not in violation of any
applicable law or in conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be automatically rescinded if (i) the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been repaid or (ii) if the default
relating to such Indebtedness is waived by the holders of such Indebtedness or cured and if such Indebtedness has been accelerated, then the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, in each
case within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto, and (iii) any other existing Events of Default relating to Securities of such series, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Securities of such
series that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Securities of such series, have been cured or waived. 

SECTION 6.3    Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of
Securities, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of (or premium) or interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the
Securities of such series, this Indenture with respect to such series or the Guarantees with respect to such Securities. 
 The Trustee may
maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 

SECTION 6.4    Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of a series by notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer, but the applicable waiver or rescission shall be effective when the notice is given to the Trustee) may (a) waive, by their consent (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities of such series), an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on a Security of such series or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each
Securityholder of such series affected and (b) rescind any acceleration with respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured
or waived. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. 

SECTION 6.5    Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of a series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred 

  
 109 

 
on the Trustee with respect to such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture with respect to such series, the Securities of such
series or the Guarantees or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders of such series or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided,
however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification or security
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused or that may be caused by taking or not taking such action. 

SECTION 6.6    Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.7, a Securityholder of a
series may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series unless: 

(1)    such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default with
respect to such series of the Securities is continuing; 
 (2)    Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of such series have requested that the Trustee pursue the remedy; 

(3)    such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4)    the Trustee has not complied with such request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5)    the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series have not waived such Event of Default or otherwise given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request during
such 60-day period. 
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. 

SECTION 6.7    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture
(including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture or the Securities of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities
held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Securities of such series, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be amended without the
consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.8    Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any
unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. 

  
 110 

 SECTION 6.9    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable
regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar
functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due it for the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 

No provision of this Indenture 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

SECTION 6.10    Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI,
it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due to it under
Section 7.7, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

SECOND: to Holders of Securities for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

THIRD: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.11    Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Parent Guarantor or its Subsidiaries, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10%
in outstanding principal amount of the Securities. 

  
 111 

 ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.1    Duties of Trustee. 

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

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

(1)    the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees, as applicable. However, in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees, as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1)    Section 7.1(c) does not limit the effect of
Section 7.1(b); 
 (2)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(3)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5; and 

(4)    no provision of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such
funds or indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

  
 112 

 (d)    Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.1. 
 (e)    The
Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers or duties under
the Indenture. 
 (f)    Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. 
 (g)    Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or
notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by one Officer of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 7.2    Rights of
Trustee. Subject to Section 7.1: 
 (a)    The Trustee may conclusively rely on any
document (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee shall
receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Issuer as provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance with covenants or other obligations of the Issuer. 

(b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of
Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c)    The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence
of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d)    The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, unless the Trustee’s conduct constitutes willful misconduct or negligence. 

(e)    The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal
matters relating to this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Securities or the Guarantees
in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (f)    The Trustee shall not be deemed to
have notice of any Default or Event of Default or whether any entity or group of entities constitutes a Significant Subsidiary unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a Default or of any such Significant Subsidiary is received by the Trustee at the corporate trust office of the Trustee specified in Section 12.2, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 

  
 113 

 (g)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to
the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(h)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture,
the Securities or the Guarantees at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered (and if requested, provided) to the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against the losses, costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. 

(i)    Whenever in the administration of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees the Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may request and in the absence of bad faith or willful
misconduct on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate. 
 (j)    In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit), irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action. 
 (k)    The parties hereto acknowledge, in accordance with Section 326 of the
Patriot Act, that the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that
establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that they will provide the Trustee with all such information as it may reasonably request in order to satisfy the requirements or its obligations
under the Patriot Act. 
 (l)    Any discretion, permissive right or privilege in favor of the Trustee, if any, shall
not be construed as a duty or obligation. 
 (m)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder 

(n)    The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 SECTION 7.3    Individual Rights of Trustee. The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any

  
 114 

 
Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in
transactions with the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest under the TIA, the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest,
(ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign. 

SECTION 7.4    Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Securities, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities, shall not be responsible for the use or
application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document
issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

SECTION 7.5    Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities
occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder of such series in the manner provided in Section 12.02, notice of the Default or Event of Default
within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any), or interest on any Security (including payments pursuant to the optional redemption or required repurchase provisions
of such Security), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of such series. 

SECTION 7.6    Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

A copy of each report at the time it is sent to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the
Securities are listed. The Issuer agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 313(d). 

SECTION 7.7    Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services hereunder and under the Securities and the Guarantees as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee
of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to,
costs of collection, costs of preparing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and sending of notices to Securityholders. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee (including its officers, directors, agents and employees) against any and all loss, liability, damages,
claims or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without willful misconduct or gross negligence on its part (as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction) in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Securities and the Guarantees, including the 

  
 115 

 
costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7), the Securities and the Guarantees and of defending itself against any claims (whether
asserted by any Securityholder, the Issuer or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not
relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the
Trustee, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such defense. 
 To secure the Issuer’s
payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due
under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Issuer. 
 The
Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when
the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in clause (7) or clause (8) of Section 6.1, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
“Trustee” for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 

SECTION 7.8    Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in
writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series may remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written
consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 

(1)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof or TIA §310;

 (2)    the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(4)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such Holders do
not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee as described in the preceding paragraph, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any other reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 

  
 116 

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee
and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a
notice of its succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition, at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in
TIA § 310(b), any Securityholder, who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under
Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.9    Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture, any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; provided
that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall only apply to its successor or successors by merger, consolidation or conversion. 

SECTION 7.10    Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee that satisfies the
requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall
comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other

 117

or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall
not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer of the Issuer actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective
date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 DISCHARGE
OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.1    Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. 

(a)    Subject to Section 8.1(c), when (i) either (x) all Securities of a series that have been authenticated
(other than Securities of such series replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.10 and such Securities for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to
the Issuer or discharged from such trust), have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (y) all outstanding Securities of a series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or may 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 Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S.
Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and
discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of final maturity or redemption (provided that if
such redemption is made as provided in the fifth paragraph of paragraph 5 of the forms of Securities attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes), (1) the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that must be irrevocably deposited will be determined using an assumed
Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (2) the depositor must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined by
such date); (ii) in respect of clause (i)(y), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the 

  
 118 

 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 other instrument to which either the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either
the Issuer 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); (iii) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and (iv) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities at final maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, then the Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand
of the Issuer (accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture have been complied with) and at the cost and expense of the Issuer. If U.S. Government Obligations shall have been deposited in connection with such satisfaction and discharge, then as a further condition to such satisfaction and
discharge, the Trustee shall have received a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants to the effect set forth in Section 8.2(1). 

(b)    Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its
obligations under the Securities of a series and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”), and after giving effect to such legal defeasance, any omission to comply with such obligations shall no longer constitute a Default or
Event of Default or (ii) its obligations under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11, and clause (a)(3) of Section 4.1, and the Issuer
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any
reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply with such Sections shall no longer constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a)(3) (as it relates to
Section 4.1(a)(3) only), Section 6.1(a)(4) (to the extent applicable to such other defeased covenants), Section 6.1(a)(6), Section 6.1(a)(7) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and a group of Restricted
Subsidiaries constituting a Significant Subsidiary), Section 6.1(a)(8) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and a group of Restricted Subsidiaries constituting a Significant Subsidiary), Section 6.1(a)(9) and Section
6.1(a)(10) (other than with respect to the Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor), and the events specified in such Sections shall no longer constitute an Event of Default (clause (ii) being referred to as the “covenant defeasance
option”), but except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities shall be unaffected thereby. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance
option. If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance or its covenant defeasance option, the Guarantees in effect at such time shall terminate. 

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(3) (as it relates to Section 4.1(a)(3) only)
Section 6.1(a)(4) (to the extent applicable to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11), 

  
 119 

 
Section 6.1(a)(6), Section 6.1(a)(7) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and a group of Restricted Subsidiaries constituting a Significant Subsidiary), Section
6.1(a)(8) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and a group of Restricted Subsidiaries constituting a Significant Subsidiary), Section 6.1(9) or Section 6.1(10) (other than with
respect to the Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor). 
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request and expense of
the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates. 

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.1(a) and (b) to the extent relating to a
satisfaction and discharge or a legal defeasance, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.18, 7.7 and 7.8 and in
this Article VIII shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.7, 8.4 and 8.5 shall survive. 

SECTION 8.2    Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant
defeasance option with respect to Securities of a series only if: 
 (1)    in accordance with
Section 8.1, the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S.
dollars and U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due on the
outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Securities are being defeased to Stated Maturity or to a particular Redemption Date
(provided that if such redemption is made as provided in the fifth paragraph of paragraph 5 of the forms of Securities attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the 2022 Notes) and
Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the 2025 Notes), (x) the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that must be irrevocably deposited will be determined using an
assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the depositor must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as
determined on such date); 
 (2)    in the case of legal defeasance, the Issuer has delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (a) the Issuer 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, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the respective outstanding
Securities 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; 

  
 120 

 (3)    in the case of covenant defeasance, the Issuer has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) confirming that the Holders of the respective outstanding Securities 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 grant of any Lien securing
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 Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries are bound; 
 (6)    the Issuer must deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of the respective outstanding Securities of such series over the creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of
defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; 
 (7)    the Issuer must
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 relating to the legal defeasance or the
covenant defeasance have been complied with; and 
 (8)    the Issuer has delivered irrevocable
instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities 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 8.3    Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust all
money or U.S. Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance
with this Indenture and the Securities to the Holders of all sums due in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Securities. 

SECTION 8.4    Repayment to the Issuer. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the
Issuer upon request any excess money, U.S. Government Obligations or other Securities held by them upon payment of all the Obligations under this Indenture. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them
for the payment of principal of or 

  
 121 

 
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities that remains unclaimed by the Holders thereof for two years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for
payment as unsecured general creditors unless an abandoned property law designates another Person and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such money. 

SECTION 8.5    Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 

SECTION 8.6    Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations
of the Issuer and each Guarantor under this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer or the Guarantors have made any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on
any Securities because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer or Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 The Trustee’s rights under this Article VIII shall survive termination of this
Indenture. 
 ARTICLE IX 

AMENDMENTS 

SECTION 9.1    Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantors (in the case of the Subsidiary
Guarantors, with respect to its Guarantee) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Securities of a series and the related Guarantees without notice to or consent of any Securityholder: 

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

(2)    to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability
company of the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture and the Securities of such series or the applicable Guarantee in accordance with Article IV; 

(3)    to provide for or facilitate the issuance of uncertificated Securities of such series in addition to
or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that such uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code; 

  
 122 

 (4)    to add Guarantors with respect to the Securities of
such series, or release a Guarantor from its Guarantee and terminate such Guarantee; provided that the release and termination is in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

(5)    to secure the Securities of such series or the related Guarantees; 

(6)    to add covenants of the Issuer or a Guarantor for the benefit of, or to make changes that would
provide additional rights to, the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer or a Guarantor; 

(7)    to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights under this Indenture of any
Securityholder, provided, however, that any change made to conform this Indenture to the “Description of Notes” contained in the Offering Memorandum shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights; 

(8)    to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with any qualification of this Indenture
under the TIA; 
 (9)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment under this
Indenture of a successor Trustee; provided that the successor Trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture; 

(10)    to provide for the issuance of Additional Securities in accordance with limitations set forth in
this Indenture; or 
 (11)    to modify this Indenture solely for the purpose of providing the removal of
the Restricted Securities Legend on any Security and to allow for the transfer of a Definitive Security or a beneficial interest in a Global Security to a Security that has an unrestricted CUSIP number, in each case in accordance with applicable
securities laws. 
 After an amendment, supplement, or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Parent Guarantor shall send to
Securityholders (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment, supplement or waiver
under this Section. 
 SECTION 9.2    With Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Securities of a series and the related Guarantees without notice to any Securityholder but with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then
outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities of such series). Except as provided in Section 6.4, any past default or
compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Securities of a series or the related Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities of such series). However, without the consent of each Securityholder of such series affected, an amendment, supplement or
waiver may not (with respect to any Securities of such series held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(1)    reduce the principal amount of the Securities of such series whose Holders must consent to an
amendment or waiver; 

  
 123 

 (2)    reduce the stated rate of interest or extend the
stated time for payment of interest on any Security of such series; 
 (3)    reduce the principal of or
extend the Stated Maturity of any Security of such series; 
 (4)    waive a Default or Event of Default
in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of such series by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of such series with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

(5)    reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security of such series as described in
Article V hereof or paragraph 5 of any Security, change the time at which any Security of such series may be redeemed as described in Article V hereof or paragraph 5 of any Security (except provisions relating to minimum
required notice of optional redemption) or make any change relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Securities of such series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event as described in
Section 3.9 after (but not before) the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event; 

(6)    make any Security of such series payable in money other than that stated in such Security; 

(7)    amend the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture with respect to such series of the
Securities or any Security of any Holder to institute a suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Securities of such series on or after the due dates therefor; 

(8)    make any change to this Section 9.2 which requires the consent of each
Holder of the Securities of such series; 
 (9)    modify the Guarantees in any manner adverse to the
Holders of Securities of such series; or 
 (10)    make any change to or modify the ranking of the
Securities that would adversely affect the Holders of such Securities. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement, or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any
Holder of the Securities given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Securities will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. 

  
 124 

 After an amendment, supplement, or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Parent
Guarantor shall send to Securityholders (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section. 
 SECTION 9.3    [Reserved]. 

SECTION 9.4    Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a
waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not
made on the Security. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee and the Issuer receive the notice of revocation before the date the amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective or otherwise in accordance with any related solicitation documents. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder unless it makes a change described in any of
clauses (1) through (10) of Section 9.2, and in that case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Securityholder who has consented to it and every subsequent Securityholder that evidences the
same debt as the consenting Holder’s Securities. An amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.2 shall become effective upon receipt by the Issuer of the requisite number of consents, and in relation to any
Securities evidenced by Global Securities, such consents need not be in written form and may be evidenced by any electronic transmissions that comport with the applicable procedures of DTC. 

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their
consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such
record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record
date. No such consent shall become valid or effective more than 120 days after such record date. 

SECTION 9.5    Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms
of a Security, the Issuer or the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuer may instruct the Trustee to place an notation designated by the Issuer on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it
to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determine, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation
or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
 SECTION 9.6    Trustee to Sign
Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver the 

  
 125 

 
Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Issuer and any Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. 

ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTEE

 SECTION 10.1    Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Guarantor hereby
fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Securities, to the extent lawful, and the Trustee the full and punctual payment
when due, whether at final maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the Obligations under this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder. Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations will rank
equally in right of payment with all other existing and future Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is subordinate to the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. 

Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of
protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Obligations. 
 Each Guarantor further
agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations. 

Except as set forth in Section 10.2, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not
be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement
or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any
security held by any Holder for the Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Issuer; (g) any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would
otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

  
 126 

 Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until
payment in full of all the Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee upon the merger or the sale of all the Capital Stock or assets of the Guarantor or otherwise in compliance with Article IV,
Section 10.2 or Article VIII, as applicable. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof,
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by
virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at final maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of
written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued
and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law). 
 Each Guarantor further agrees
that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether
or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 
 Each Guarantor also
agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section. 

Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall be required to make a notation on the Securities to reflect any Guarantee or any release,
termination or discharge thereof and any such notation shall not be a condition to the validity of any Guarantee. 

SECTION 10.2    Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. 

(a)    Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Senior Secured Credit
Agreements) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution
obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under
any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

  
 127 

 (b)    Upon the sale or disposition of a Subsidiary Guarantor, whether by
merger, consolidation, the sale of a sufficient amount of its Capital Stock so that it no longer qualifies as a “Subsidiary” of the Issuer or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease) and whether or not such
Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving entity in such transaction, to a Person which is not the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from all its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee if
the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 3.5. 
 (c)    Each Subsidiary
Guarantor will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee upon the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of (i) the Senior Secured Credit Agreements (so long as such Subsidiary
Guarantor is not then otherwise required to provide a Guarantee under Section 3.11) or (ii) such other Indebtedness that resulted in the obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Securities pursuant to
Section 3.11(b), except, in each case, a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee. 

(d)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee if the
Parent Guarantor designates such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation complies with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. 

(e)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee,
and such Guarantee will terminate, upon any covenant defeasance of the Securities. 
 (f)    Each Guarantor will be
deemed released from all its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee, and such Guarantee will terminate, upon any legal defeasance or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, in each case pursuant to the provisions of Article
VIII hereof. 
 (g)    The release of any Guarantor from its obligations pursuant to this
Section 10.2 shall be conditioned upon such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the
transactions specified in clauses (b), (c), (d) (e), or (f) of this Section 10.2 have been complied with. 

SECTION 10.3    Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor
shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer or any other Guarantor who has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to
the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

  
 128 

 SECTION 10.4    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or
payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any other Guarantor or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder
for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the
Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such
Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

SECTION 12.16    Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of
this Indenture will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the 

  
 132 

 
Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in the City and County of New York and each party agrees to submit to the
jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts. Each party agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding each party, as applicable, and may be enforced in any court to the
jurisdiction of which each party, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such judgment. The Issuer and the Guarantors irrevocably appoint CT Corporation System, located at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as its authorized agent in the
City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such authorized agent, and written notice of such service to such party by the person serving the same to the address provided

accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as such authorized agent for service of process. The Issuers and the Guarantors further agree to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such
authorized agent in full force and effect for a period of eight years from the date of this Indenture. 

SECTION 12.17    Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any party has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from jurisdiction of any court of (i) Canada, or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) the United States or the State of New York, (iii) any jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or
assets or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution, set-off or otherwise) with respect to such party’s property
and assets or this Indenture, each party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of each of their obligations under this Indenture to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

to indemnify each Holder, its directors, officers, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any loss incurred by such Holder as a
result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as
between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase U.S.
dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors and shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

unenforceability.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY] 

ULTRA RESOURCES, INC. 
 6.875%
Senior Notes due 2022 
  

	1.	Interest 

 Ultra Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. 

The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing October 15, 2017. Interest on the
Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Securities or, if no interest has been paid, from April 12, 2017. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal, and on overdue premium (plus interest
on such interest to the extent lawful), at the rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. The Issuer shall pay Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments with respect to payments on the Securities in the circumstances set forth in Section 2.18 of the Indenture. 

 

	2.	Method of Payment 

 By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which
any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security is due and payable, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest. The Issuer will
pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the April 1 and October 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are cancelled, repurchased
or redeemed after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by the transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depository. The Issuer will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing
a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof. 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as
trustee (the “Trustee”) will act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to any Securityholder. The
Parent Guarantor or any of its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries organized in the United States may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

  
 A-1-3 

	4.	Indenture 

 The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of
April 12, 2017 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated
in the Indenture. The Issuer is not be required to offer to exchange the Securities for notes registered under the Securities Act or otherwise register or qualify by prospectus the Securities for resale under the Securities Act. The Indenture will
not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (as in effect on the date of the Indenture, the “Act”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
Security and the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall govern and control. 
 The Securities are senior obligations of the Issuer. The
aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Security is one of the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2022 referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include (i) $700,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 6.875% Senior Notes due 2022 issued under the Indenture on April 12, 2017 (herein called “Initial Securities”) and (ii) if and when issued, additional 6.875% Senior Notes due
2022 of the Issuer that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to April 12, 2017 (herein called “Additional Securities”) as provided in Section 2.1(a) of the Indenture. The Initial Securities and
Additional Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, the making of restricted payments, the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, the
incurrence of certain liens, the entering into of affiliate transactions, the entering into of agreements that restrict distribution from certain restricted subsidiaries and the consummation of mergers and consolidations. The Indenture also imposes
requirements with respect to the provision of financial information and the provision of guarantees of the Securities by certain subsidiaries. 

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest (including post-filing or post-petition interest) on
the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the
Indenture, the Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed (and future guarantors, together with the Guarantors, will unconditionally Guarantee), jointly and severally, such obligations on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 

 

	5.	Redemption 

 Except as set forth below or in Section 3.9(i) or
Section 5.9 of the Indenture, the Securities will not be redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to April 15, 2019. On and after such date, the Securities will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s option, in whole
or in part, at any time upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date 

  
 A-1-4 

 
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set forth
below: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Redemption Price	 
	 2019
	  	 	103.438	% 
	 2020
	  	 	101.719	% 
	 2021 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 In addition, at any time and from time to time on or prior to April 15, 2019 , upon notice as provided in
the Indenture, the Issuer may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities), but in an amount not greater than the Net Cash Proceeds of
one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, that: 

(1)    at least 65% of the original principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to
any issuance of Additional Securities) must remain outstanding after each such redemption; and 

(2)    each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of such Equity Offering. 

The amount of Net Cash Proceeds from an Equity Offering being used to effect any redemption of the Securities pursuant to the immediately
preceding paragraph and any redemption of the 2025 Notes shall not exceed the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from such Equity Offering. 
 In
addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2019, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, the Issuer may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Security on any Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal
amount of such Security or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the present value at such time of (1) the redemption price of such Security on April 15, 2019 (such redemption price being described in the first paragraph of this
paragraph 5) plus (2) all required interest payments (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to such Redemption Date) due on such Security through April 15, 2019, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate with respect
to such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day calendar
months), over (B) the principal amount of such Security. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the calculation of the Applicable Premium. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States
Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled 

  
 A-1-5 

 
and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (or, if such
Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to April 15, 2019; provided, however, that if the period from the
Redemption Date to April 15, 2019 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to April 15, 2019 is less than one
year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 

The Issuer will (a) calculate the Treasury Rate as of a date no later than the second Business Day preceding the applicable Redemption

The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing October 15, 2017. Interest on the
Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Securities or, if no interest has been paid, from April 12, 2017. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal, and on overdue premium (plus interest
on such interest to the extent lawful), at the rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. The Issuer shall pay Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments with respect to payments on the Securities in the circumstances set forth in Section 2.18 of the Indenture. 

 

	2.	Method of Payment 

 By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which
any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security is due and payable, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest. The Issuer will
pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the April 1 and October 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are cancelled, repurchased
or redeemed after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by the transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depository. The Issuer will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing

 A-2-3 

	4.	Indenture 

 The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of
April 12, 2017 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated
in the Indenture. The Issuer is not be required to offer to exchange the Securities for notes registered under the Securities Act or otherwise register or qualify by prospectus the Securities for resale under the Securities Act. The Indenture will
not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (as in effect on the date of the Indenture, the “Act”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
Security and the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall govern and control. 
 The Securities are senior obligations of the Issuer. The
aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Security is one of the 7.125% Senior Notes due 2025 referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include (i) $500,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 7.125% Senior Notes due 2025 issued under the Indenture on April 12, 2017 (herein called “Initial Securities”) and (ii) if and when issued, additional 7.125% Senior Notes due
2025 of the Issuer that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to April 12, 2017 (herein called “Additional Securities”) as provided in Section 2.1(a) of the Indenture. The Initial Securities and
Additional Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, the making of restricted payments, the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, the
incurrence of certain liens, the entering into of affiliate transactions, the entering into of agreements that restrict distribution from certain restricted subsidiaries and the consummation of mergers and consolidations. The Indenture also imposes
requirements with respect to the provision of financial information and the provision of guarantees of the Securities by certain subsidiaries. 

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest (including post-filing or post-petition interest) on
the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the
Indenture, the Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed (and future guarantors, together with the Guarantors, will unconditionally Guarantee), jointly and severally, such obligations on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 

 

	5.	Redemption

Section 5.9 of the Indenture, the Securities will not be redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to April 15, 2020. On and after such date, the Securities will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s option, in whole
or in part, at any time upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date 

  
 A-2-4 

 
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set forth
below:

	 2020
	  	 	105.344	% 
	 2021
	  	 	103.563	% 
	 2022
	  	 	101.781	% 
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 In addition, at any time and from time to time on or prior to April 15, 2020, upon notice as provided in
the Indenture, the Issuer may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities), but in an amount not greater than the Net Cash Proceeds of
one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 107.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, that: 

(1)    at least 65% of the original principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to
any issuance of Additional Securities) must remain outstanding after each such redemption; and 

(2)    each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of such Equity Offering. 

The amount of Net Cash Proceeds from an Equity Offering being used to effect any redemption of the Securities pursuant to the immediately
preceding paragraph and any redemption of the 2022 Notes shall not exceed the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from such Equity Offering. 
 In
addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2020, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, the Issuer may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Security on any Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal
amount of such Security or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the present value at such time of (1) the redemption price of such Security on April 15, 2020 (such redemption price being described in the first paragraph of this
paragraph 5) plus (2) all required interest payments (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to such Redemption Date) due on such Security through April 15, 2020, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate with respect
to such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day calendar
months), over (B) the principal amount of such Security. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the calculation of the Applicable Premium. 

  
 A-2-5 

 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield to
maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly available at least two Business
Days prior to the Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to April 15, 2020; provided,
however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to April 15, 2020 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the
Redemption Date to April 15, 2020 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 

The Issuer will (a) calculate the Treasury Rate as of a date no later than the second Business Day preceding the applicable Redemption
Date and (b) prior to such Redemption Date file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Applicable Premium and the Treasury Rate and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail. 

The Securities are also subject to tax redemption at the Issuer’s option as set forth in Section 5.9 of the Indenture. 

 

	6.	Repurchase Provisions 

 The Securities may be the subject of a Change of Control Offer
and/or an Asset Disposition Offer, as further described in the Indenture. The Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.

 The Securities are in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of principal amount of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay a sum sufficient to cover any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 

The Issuer or the Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Security (A) for a period (1) of 15 days before a
selection of Securities to be redeemed or (2) beginning 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date or (B) selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

  

	8.	Persons Deemed Owners 

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

  
 A-2-6 

	9.	Amendment, Supplement, Waiver 

 The Indenture, the Securities and the related Guarantees
may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	10.	Defaults and Remedies 

 The Events of Default relating to the Securities are defined in
Section 6.1 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Securities, the rights and obligations of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions in the
Indenture.

Trustee (or an Authenticating Agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security. 
  

	12.	Abbreviations 

 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an
assignee, such as TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gift to
Minors Act).
