(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 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, and 

(D) estimated oil and gas reserves attributable to downward revisions of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves since such

determinations made pursuant to clauses (A) through (D), such increases and decreases shall be as estimated by the Company’s petroleum engineers; 

(ii) the capitalized costs that are attributable to Oil and Gas Properties of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to

of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to Volumetric Production Payments (determined, if applicable, using the schedules specified with respect thereto); and 

(iv) the discounted future net revenues, calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines, attributable to reserves subject to

basis assuming that all such Asset Acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (and the change of any associated Fixed Charges and the change in Consolidated

reasonable judgment of the chief financial officer of the Company (regardless of whether these cost savings or operating improvements could then be reflected in pro forma financial statements in accordance with Regulation S-X promulgated under

Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capital Lease
Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes
of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.
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 Company may designate. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Company as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, to
reflect operating expense reductions reasonably expected to result from any acquisition or merger.

Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Company) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuers or a Subsidiary of
the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee will
serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
  

	Section 2.05	Holder Lists.

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 the Holders and the Issuers shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof). 

  
 -58- 

 (3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and
Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global
Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers will be
required: 
 (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

	Section 2.07	Replacement Notes. 

 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers
and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s
requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note. 

  
 -59- 

 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers and will be entitled to all of
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  

	Section 2.08	Outstanding Notes. 

 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as
not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not
be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If
the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuers, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or
maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

 

	Section 2.09	Treasury Notes. 

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

	Section 2.10	Temporary Notes. 

 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the
Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate
for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

  
 -60- 

 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

 

	Section 2.11	Cancellation. 

 The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be
delivered to the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

	Section 2.12	Defaulted Interest. 

 If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the
Notes, they will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the
Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers will fix or cause to be fixed each such
special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the
written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be
paid. 
  

	Section 2.13	CUSIP Numbers. 

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

Section 3.03 hereof, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder designated for redemption in

shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the
preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes

date thereof the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred
or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred equity is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional

(2), (3), (4), (5), (12) or (16) of this Section 4.09(b); 
 (6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and 

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

(7) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries

 (8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Hedging Obligations other than for speculative purposes; 

  
 -77-

(10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’
compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with health or other types of social security benefits, unemployment or other insurance or self-insurance obligations, reclamation, statutory obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance,

finance an acquisition or of Persons that are acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or merged into a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided, however, that for any such
indebtedness outstanding under this clause (12) in excess of $10.0 million, after giving effect to such acquisition and the incurrence of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred equity either: 

(A) the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a); or 

(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would not be less than immediately prior to such acquisition; 

(13) Indebtedness incurred by a Receivables Subsidiary in a Qualified Receivables Financing that is not recourse to the Company

Indenture, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred or assumed by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; 

  
 -78- 

 (15) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
additional Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) or having an aggregate liquidation preference at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of
$35.0 million or 3.5% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (it being understood that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity incurred pursuant to this clause (15) shall cease to be deemed incurred or
outstanding for purposes of this Section 4.09 from and after the date on which the Company could have incurred such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred equity under Section 4.09(a) hereof without reliance upon this clause
(15)); and 
 (16) Contribution Indebtedness. 

The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is
contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially
identical terms and the Company will not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in
right of payment to the Note Guarantee provided by the Company on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of
the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis. 
 For purposes of
determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses
(1) through (16) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity on the date of its incurrence and
will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one of the above clauses, although the Company may divide and classify an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred
equity in one or more of the types of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and may later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity, in any manner that complies with this
Section 4.09. The accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of
preferred equity as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and unrealized
losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of SFAS 133) will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity for purposes of this
Section 4.09; provided, in each such case (other than preferred stock that is not Disqualified Stock), that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this 

  
 -79- 

 
Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a
result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 
 The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date
will be: 
 (1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

 (2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: 

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and 

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

 

	Section 4.10	Asset Sales. 

 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

otherwise disposed of; and 
 (2) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received from such Asset Sale and all other
Asset Sales since the Issue Date, on a cumulative basis, by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities or Additional Assets, or any combination thereof. For purposes of this provision,
each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: 
 (A) any liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other

from further liability; 
 (B) any securities, notes, other obligations or assets received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that
conversion; 

  
 -80- 

 (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale; provided that the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, taken together with the Fair Market Value at the time of receipt of all other Designated Non-cash
Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) less the amount of Net Proceeds previously realized in cash from prior Designated Non-cash Consideration is less than the greater of (x) 2.5% of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the
time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) and
(y) $25.0 million; and 
 (D) any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (2), (4) or (5) of
the next paragraph of this Section 4.10. 
 Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may: 
 (a) apply such Net Proceeds, at its option: 

(1) to repay (w) Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility, (x) any Indebtedness that was secured by
the assets sold in such Asset Sale, (y) other pari passu Indebtedness (provided, that in the case of this clause (y), the Issuers shall also equally and ratably reduce Indebtedness under the Notes by making an offer (in accordance
with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale) to all Holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, the pro rata principal
amount of Notes), or (z) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; 

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business; provided,
that in the case of any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or

(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted
Business; or 
 (5) to invest in Additional Assets; or 

(b) enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant to clauses (a) (2), (3), (4) or
(5) above, provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is
consummated, and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period. 

  
 -81- 

 Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings
or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are
not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of this Section 4.10 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Not later than the 366th day (or such later date as permitted by clause (b) of this Section 4.10) from the
later of the date of such Asset Sale or the receipt of such Net Proceeds, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, within ten Business Days thereof, the Issuers will make an offer to all holders of Notes (an “Asset
Sale Offer”) and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets
to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those
Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee
will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to
the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this
Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 

Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Issuers shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the
compliance of such allocation with the provisions of this Section 4.10. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuers. The Trustee (or a Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the
amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Issuers to the Trustee is greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Issuers immediately after the
expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.10. 

  
 -82- 

 Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form
entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note duly completed, to the Issuers at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their
election if the Trustee or the Issuers receive not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered
by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuers are required to purchase,
selection of such Notes for purchase shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by
lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. 

Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase
date to each Holder at such Holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be purchased. 

A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note purchased in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder
thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the purchase date, unless the Issuers default in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof purchased. 

 

	Section 4.11	Transactions with Affiliates. 

 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), involving aggregate consideration in excess of $1.0 million, unless: 

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee: 

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $20.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company certifying that 

  
 -83- 

 
such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members, if any, of the Board of Directors
of the Company; and 
 (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
national standing. 
 (b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the
provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof: 
 (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director
indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice and payments pursuant thereto; 

(2) transactions (including a merger) between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

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

(4) payment of reasonable fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company; 
 (5) any issuance of
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company or to any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, and the granting and performance
of registration rights; 
 (6) Restricted Payments and Investments that do not violate Section 4.07 hereof; 

(7) the entering into any agreement to pay, and the payment of, customary annual management, consulting, monitoring and
advisory fees to the Equity Investors in an amount not to exceed in any four quarter period the greater of (x) $5.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Consolidated Cash Flow of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period and related
expenses; 
 (8) loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past
practice; 
 (9) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing; 

  
 -84- 

 (10) any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or
that such transaction meets the requirements of clause (1) of Section 4.11(a); 
 (11) the existence of, or the
performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any acquisition agreements or members’ or stockholders agreement or related documents to which it is a party as of the date of this
Indenture and any amendment thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under,
any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the date of this Indenture shall only be permitted by this clause (11) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement, together
with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or such new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders taken as a whole than the original agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture; 

(12) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or
sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits
associated with such transactions), materially no less favorable to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated
Person, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company or senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(13) (x) guarantees of performance by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary
course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, and (y) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of lenders of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; 

(14) if such Affiliate Transaction is with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary where such Person is treated no more favorably than the holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

(15) transactions effected pursuant to agreements in effect on the issue date and any amendment, modification or replacement of
such agreement (so long as such amendment or replacement is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders, taken as a whole); and 

  
 -85- 

 (16) payments to the Equity Investors made for any financial advisory, financing
or other investment banking activities, including without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. 

 

	Section 4.12	Liens. 

 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, securing
Indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantors unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

 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 4.13	Business Activities. 

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

 

	Section 4.14	Intentionally Omitted. 

  

	Section 4.15	Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Issuers will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuers have
exercised their right to redeem the Notes in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture, the Issuers will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating: 

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes properly tendered
pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which
shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

  
 -86- 

 (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

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

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business
on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder
is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part
will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 

The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to
the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance. 

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

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess of $2,000) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not properly withdrawn; 
 (2) deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes accepted for payment; and 

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate of
the Company stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuers. 

  
 -87- 

 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder properly tendered the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided,
that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Change
of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do
not withdraw such notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any other Person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the
Issuers shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes 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 date of redemption (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times
and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to
Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. 
 (e) The Issuers’
obligation to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to this Section 4.15 may be waived or modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control. 
  

	Section 4.16	Payments for Consent. 

 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any cash consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such
consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders that are QIBs and that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

 

	Section 4.17	Additional Note Guarantees. 

 If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
acquires or creates another wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then that newly acquired or 

  
 -88- 

 
created Domestic Subsidiary, if such Subsidiary guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company (unless such Subsidiary is a Receivables Subsidiary) will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental
indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within 30 days of the date on which it was acquired or created; provided that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a
Guarantor until such time as it (i) ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or (ii) guarantees the Credit Agreement. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit E hereto. 

 

	Section 4.18	Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

 The Board of Directors of the
Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary, other than the Company, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair
Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the
amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be
permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that
redesignation would not cause a Default. 
 Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced
to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an officers’ certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was
permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and
any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in
default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) (x) the Company could incur such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a)
hereof, or (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis
taking into account such designation; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. 

  
 -89- 

	Section 4.19	Changes in Covenants upon Notes being Rated Investment Grade. 

 During any period of time
and beginning on the day that (a) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Issuers and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries will not be
subject to the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13 and 4.18 hereof, and clause (4) of Section 5.01 shall terminate. If the Issuers and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to these
covenants for any period of time as a result of the previous sentence (a “Fall-Away Period”) and, subsequently, the ratings assigned to the Notes are withdrawn or downgraded so the Notes no longer have an Investment Grade Rating or
an Event of Default (other than with respect to a suspended covenant) occurs and is continuing, then the Issuers and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to these covenants. The ability of the Issuers and the
Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to make Restricted Payments after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade or Event of Default will be calculated as if the covenant governing Restricted Payments had been in effect during the entire period of
time from the Issue Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the continued existence after the end of the Fall-Away Period of facts and circumstances or obligations arising from transactions which occurred during a Fall-Away Period shall not constitute
a breach of any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause an Event of Default hereunder. 
  

	Section 4.20	Limitation on Activities of the Co-Issuer. 

 The Co-Issuer may not hold any material
assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct any business activity, other than (1) the issuance of its Equity Interests to the Company or any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,
(2) the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-obligor or Guarantor, as the case may be, of the Notes, the Exchange Notes, the Credit Facilities and any other Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred by the Company under Section 4.09;
provided that the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are not retained by the Co-Issuer, and (3) activities incidental thereto. Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall engage in any transactions with the Co-Issuer in
violation of this Section 4.20. 
 ARTICLE 5 

SUCCESSORS 
  

	Section 5.01	Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. 

 Neither Issuer will, directly
or indirectly: (i) consolidate or merge with or into another Person; or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s properties or assets (determined on a consolidated basis for
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in one or more related transactions to another Person, unless: 
 (1) either:

 (A) such Issuer is the surviving entity; or 

  
 -90- 

 (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other
than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the
United States or the District of Columbia; 
 (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer, as the case may be, under the Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights
Agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (3) immediately after such transaction, no
Default or Event of Default exists; and 
 (4) (a) such Issuer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
merger (if other than such Issuer), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if
the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof; or 

(b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the successor entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries would not be less than such ratio
for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction. 
 In addition, the Company will not, directly or
indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. 

This Section 5.01 will not apply to: 

(1) a merger of the Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction; or

 (2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets
between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
  

	Section 5.02	Successor Substituted. 

 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of an Issuer in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor
Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which such Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall 

  
 -91- 

 
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this
Indenture referring to the “Company” or “Co-Issuer” or “Issuers”, as the case may be, shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company or Co-Issuer or Issuers, as the case may be), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company or Co-Issuer or Issuers, as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company or Co-Issuer or Issuers, as the case may be herein; provided,
however, that the predecessor shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of such Issuers’ properties or assets in a transaction that
is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  

	Section 6.01	Events of Default.

Notes; 
 (2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if

this Indenture; 
 (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there
may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuers or any of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries or group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by an Issuer or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture (but excluding
Indebtedness owing to an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), if that default: 
 (A) is caused by a failure to
pay principal on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness following the Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or 

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, 

  
 -92- 

 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 $25.0 million or more; 

(5) failure by the Issuers or any of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries, or group of the Company’s Restricted
Subsidiaries that taken as a whole would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, to pay final and non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $25.0 million (net of any amounts which are
covered by insurance or bonded), which judgments are not paid, waived, satisfied, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; 

(6) the Issuers or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of the
Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case, 

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

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

(A) is for relief against an Issuer or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a custodian of such Issuer or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary

Significant Subsidiary or any group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 

(C) orders the liquidation of such Issuer or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary

the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect
(other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and this Indenture), or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10
days. 
  

	Section 6.02	Acceleration. 

 In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or
(7) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, the Co-Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. 
 Upon any such declaration, the Notes
shall become due and payable immediately. 
 In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01, such
Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of
Default arose the Issuers deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the Holders thereof have rescinded or
waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the
principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 
  

	Section 6.03	Other Remedies. 

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue
any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

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

  
 -94- 

	Section 6.04	Waiver of Past Defaults. 

 Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. Upon any such rescission or waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	Section 6.05	Control by Majority. 

 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

 

	Section 6.06	Limitation on Suits. 

 A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture
or the Notes only if: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the
remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to
prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
  

	Section 6.07	Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, 

  
 -95- 

 
on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
  

	Section 6.08	Collection Suit by Trustee. 

 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or
(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and
interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

 

	Section 6.10	Priorities. 

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

 Third: to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct

	Section 6.11	Undertaking for Costs. 

 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in
its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable and documented 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 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

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

	Section 7.04	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

 The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers’ direction under any
provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any 

  
 -99- 

 
money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection
with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
  

	Section 7.05	Notice of Defaults. 

 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it
is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders a 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 or Additional Interest, if
any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

 

	Section 7.06	Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

 (a) Within 60 days after each May 15
beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if
no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all
reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 
 (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders will be mailed by the
Trustee to the Issuers and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock
exchange or delisted therefrom. 
  

	Section 7.07	Compensation and Indemnity. 

 (a) The Issuers will pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers will reimburse the Trustee promptly

expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) The Issuers and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee
against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses
of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Issuers
promptly of any claim of 

  
 -100- 

 
which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers will not relieve the Issuers or any of the Guarantors
of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, will pay the reasonable and
documented fees and expenses of such counsel provided, however that the Issuers and any Guarantor shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified
parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made
without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under
this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.
Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 (f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

 

	Section 7.08	Replacement of Trustee. 

 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of
a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

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

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 -101-

reason, the Issuers will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace
the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10
hereof, such Holder may petition at the expense of the Issuers any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders.
The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

 

	Section 7.09	Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is

compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
  

	Section 8.02	Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

 Upon the Issuers’ exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company, the Co-Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance
means that the Company, the Co-Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be
“outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note
Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or
interest or premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

(2) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09,
2.10 and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article 8. 

  
 -103- 

 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise their option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
  

	Section 8.03	Covenant Defeasance. 

 Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of
the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company, the Co-Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed
outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company, the Co-Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision
herein or in any other document and such omission to comply with such covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and
Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Defeasance had not occurred;

the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a

(6) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers

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

The Issuers will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

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

 

	Section 8.06	Repayment to Issuers. 

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

 

	Section 8.07	Reinstatement. 

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S.
dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by 

  
 -106- 

 
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’
obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT
AND WAIVER 
  

	Section 9.01	Without Consent of Holders. 

 Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the
Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder: 

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

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders and Note Guarantees by a
successor to such Issuer or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof; 
 (4) to make any change that would
provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder; 

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

 (6) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of notes” section of
the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes; 

(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the
date hereof; or 
 (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the
Notes and to release Guarantors from the Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 

  
 -107- 

 Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of any
amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended
or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

	Section 9.02	With Consent of Holders. 

 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the
Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes or the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07
hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration
that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including,
without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine
which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Issuers
accompanied by a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders
as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or
supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental
Indenture. 
 It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect
therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting
as a single class may waive 

  
 -108- 

 
compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1)
reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the
principal of or extend the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (for the avoidance of doubt, repurchases of the Notes by the Issuers pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.15 hereof are not
redemptions of the Notes); 
 (3) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including default interest,
on any Note; 
 (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium or Additional Interest, if
any, or interest on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such
acceleration); 
 (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or impair the rights of Holders to
receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes; 
 (7) waive a
redemption payment with respect to any Note (for the avoidance of doubt, any payment required by Sections 4.10 or 4.15 hereof is not a redemption payment); 

(8) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this
Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and
waiver provisions. 
  

	Section 9.03	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or
the Notes will be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
  

	Section 9.04	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is

  
 -109- 

 
not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it thereafter binds every Holder. 
  

	Section 9.05	Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

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

	Section 9.06	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

 The Trustee will sign any amended or
supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until
the Board of Directors of each Issuer approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents
required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

ARTICLE 10 
 NOTE GUARANTEES 

 

	Section 10.01	Guarantee. 

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

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

  
 -110- 

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

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent
theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and
the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under the Note Guarantee. 
  

	Section 10.02	Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each
Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such
Guarantor will 

  
 -111- 

 
be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and
after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  

	Section 10.03	Intentionally Omitted. 

  

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

 Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 10.04, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other
than an Issuer or another Guarantor, unless: 
 (1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event
of Default exists; and 
 (2) either: 

(a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or 
 (b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the
assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or
all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal
rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 2(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in
any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into an Issuer or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to an Issuer
or another Guarantor. 

  
 -112- 

	Section 10.05	Releases. 

 The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released: 

(1) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including
by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale, disposition or transfer does not violate Section 4.10
hereof; 
 (2) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person
that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale, disposition or transfer does not violate Section 4.10 hereof; 

(3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (4) upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction
and discharge of the indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof; or 
 (5) upon the release of such Guarantors’
Guarantee under the Credit Agreement or such other Indebtedness that triggered such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. 
 Any Guarantor not
released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations
of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 
 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
  

	Section 11.01	Satisfaction and Discharge. 

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

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated and, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and
Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

  
 -113- 

 (b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration
of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal, interest and Additional Interest) on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; 

(2) the Company, Co-Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 

(3) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward
the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officers’ Certificate
to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive such satisfaction and
discharge. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

 

	Section 11.02	Application of Trust Money. 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with
the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent
is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof 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 Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if
the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the 

  
 -114- 

 
reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.

pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] 
 Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) INTEREST. NFR Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“Company”), and NFR Energy Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Co-Issuer” and, together, with the Company, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at
9.75% per annum from February 12, 2010 until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers will pay interest and Additional
Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes
will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from February 12, 2010 until the principal hereof is due. The first Interest Payment Date shall be August 15, 2010. The Issuers will
pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional
Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such
Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Issuers will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest),
at the office of each Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made in the
case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice
to the Trustee or a Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). Such payment will be in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture,
will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

  
 A1-3 

 (4) INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
February 12, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. Terms defined in
the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all the terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To
the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers. This Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The
Notes include the Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes are treated as a single
class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other
distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries,
enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make asset sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuers and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or
convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property. 
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the
principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuers under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes
and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Obligations of the Issuers under the Notes on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) At any time prior to February 15, 2013, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 109.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

(1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and
its Subsidiaries, including the Co-Issuer) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

  
 A1-4 

 (2) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such
Equity Offering. 
 (b) On or after February 15, 2014, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but not including, the applicable
redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

	  	 	104.875	% 
	 2015
	  	 	102.438	% 
	 2016 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (c) At any time prior to February 15, 2014, the Issuers may also
redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus
the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date. 
 (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. 

The Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption
date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a
satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 

(8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. 

(a) If there is a Change of Control, the Issuers will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on

  
 A1-5 

 
the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control
Offer as required by the Indenture. 
 (b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within ten
Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuers will commence an offer to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions
similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness 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 thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that, any Excess Proceeds remain after the consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount
of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company
prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. 

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except
for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date
and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 (10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder may be treated as its
owner for all purposes. 
 (11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the
Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any
existing Default or Event or Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture or the Notes or the Note 

  
 A1-6 

 
Guarantees may be amended or supplemented (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes, (iii) to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders and Note Guarantees in case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s or such
Guarantor’s assets, as applicable, (iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, (v) to comply
with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, (vi) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of notes” section of the
Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes, (vii) to provide for the issuance of
Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture or (viii) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes and to release Guarantors
from the Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 (12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuers, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in
the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon
becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

(13) DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the Issuers at any time may terminate some or all of its
obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee money or Government Securities for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

 (14) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUERS. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Issuers or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

  
 A1-7 

 (15) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, manager, officer, employee,
incorporator, member or stockholder of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on,
in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or
as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

(20) GOVERNING LAW. THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased

Notes, (vii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture or (viii) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with
respect to the Notes and to release Guarantors from the Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 (12) DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuers, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in
the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.

Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 
 (14) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUERS. The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuers or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

(15) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Issuers or any of
the Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

 ARTICLE II 

LIEN PRIORITIES 

Section 2.1 Relative Priorities. Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens
securing the Second Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law or the Term Credit Documents or any other
circumstance whatsoever, the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Claimholders, and the Senior Indebtedness Representative, on behalf of itself and the Senior Revolving Claimholders, hereby agree that: (a) any Lien on the
Collateral securing any Senior Indebtedness (in the case of principal of Senior Indebtedness, up to the First Lien Cap amount) now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Senior Indebtedness Representative, any Senior Revolving Claimholders or any
agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any of the Second Lien
Obligations; (b) any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Term Administrative Agent, any Term Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute,
operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Indebtedness (but in the case of principal of Senior Indebtedness, up to the First Lien Cap amount); and
(c) any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Senior Indebtedness Representative, any Senior Revolving Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, that secures any portion of Senior Indebtedness representing principal in excess of the First Lien Cap shall be subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing the Second Lien
Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Indebtedness shall, to the extent provided herein, be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations for all purposes,
whether or not such Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligations of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1 and the other provisions
of this Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to suggest or imply any intent of any party or either the Senior Revolving Claimholders or the Term Claimholders to subordinate their Liens to any Liens other than as set forth in
Section 2.1 (and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to suggest or imply that the Second Lien Obligations themselves are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness or vice versa). 

Section 2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Term Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term
Claimholder, and the Senior Indebtedness Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Revolving Claimholder, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding
(including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Senior Revolving Claimholders in the Senior Revolving Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Term
Claimholders in the Term Collateral, as the case may be; provided that nothing in this Agreement (a) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder
to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1, or vote on a plan of reorganization in an Insolvency or Liquidation

Proceeding; or (b) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens
securing the Second Lien Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1, or vote on a plan of reorganization in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 

Section 2.3 No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, (a) the Term Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Term Claimholders, hereby agrees that neither the Term Administrative Agent nor any Term Claimholder will accept or receive from the Borrower or any Guarantor any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Second
Lien Obligation unless the Borrower or such Guarantor has granted a senior Lien on such asset or property to secure the Senior Indebtedness, and (b) the Senior Indebtedness Representative, on behalf of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, hereby
agrees that neither the Senior Indebtedness Representative nor any Senior Revolving Claimholder will accept or receive from the Borrower or any Guarantor any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Senior Indebtedness unless the
Borrower or such Guarantor has granted a junior Lien on such asset or property to secure the Second Lien Obligations. Any such Lien referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.1 and
Section 3.1. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Senior Indebtedness Representative, the Senior Revolving Claimholders, the Term
Administrative Agent and/or the Term Claimholders, each of the Senior Indebtedness Representative, on behalf of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, and the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of Term Claimholders, hereby agrees that any amounts
received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2. 

Section 2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The Lender Representatives agree that it is their intention that the Senior Revolving
Collateral and the Term Collateral be identical. To the extent that, notwithstanding this Section 2.4, the Senior Revolving Collateral and Term Collateral are not identical, (i) the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of Term
Claimholders, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them after an Enforcement Action pursuant to or as a result of Liens on Term Collateral that is not Senior Revolving Collateral, shall be subject to Section 4.2, and
(ii) the Senior Indebtedness Representative, on behalf of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them after an Enforcement Action pursuant to or as a result of Liens on Senior Revolving
Collateral that is not Term Collateral, shall, to the extent such amounts are in excess of the amount necessary to result in the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, be subject to Section 4.2. In furtherance of the foregoing and of
Section 8.9, the Lender Representatives agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement: 
 (a) upon request by the Senior
Indebtedness Representative or the Term Administrative Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Senior Revolving Collateral
and the Term Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Credit Documents; and 

  
 9 

 (b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Senior Revolving Collateral and
the Term Collateral and guarantees for the Senior Indebtedness and the Second Lien Obligations shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first Lien and the second Lien nature of the Obligations and
Collateral thereunder. 
 ARTICLE III 

ENFORCEMENT 

Section 3.1 Exercise of Remedies. (a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Obligor: 
 (i) the Term Administrative
Agent and the Term Claimholders: 
 (x) will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with
respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, letter in-lieu, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Term Administrative
Agent or any Term Claimholder is a party), or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies against the Collateral (including any action of foreclosure); provided, however, that the Term Administrative
Agent may exercise any or all such rights and remedies after the earlier of (1) the passage of a period of 180 days from the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the Senior Indebtedness Representative that an Event of Default (as defined
in the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) has occurred under the Term Credit Documents (with respect to each individual Event of Default, each a “Standstill Period”) which notice may only be delivered following the occurrence of and
during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) under the Term Credit Documents, or (2) the date on which the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness occurs; provided, further,
however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) in no event shall the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder exercise or continue to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral if,
notwithstanding the expiration of any outstanding Standstill Period, the Senior Indebtedness Representative or Senior Revolving Claimholders shall have already commenced, prior to the expiration of such Standstill Period, and are diligently and in
good faith pursuing the exercise of any of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Term Administrative Agent), and (B) if, after the expiration of
a Standstill Period, neither the Senior Indebtedness Representative nor any Senior Revolving Claimholder has commenced exercising such rights or remedies and the Term Administrative Agent or the Term Claimholders subsequently commences the exercise
of any of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Senior Indebtedness Representative), then neither the Senior Indebtedness Representative nor any
Senior Revolving Claimholder shall in any event commence the exercise of any of their rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral for long as the Term Administrative Agent or the Term Claimholders are diligently and in good faith pursuing
such exercise of their rights and remedies with respect to all or such material portion of the Collateral; 

  
 10 

 (y) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action
brought by the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder or any other exercise by the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder, of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under
the Senior Revolving Credit Documents or otherwise so long as such proceedings or action or other exercise is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement; and 

(z) subject to its rights under clause (i)(x) above, will not object to the forbearance by the Senior Indebtedness
Representative or the Senior Revolving Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral, in each case so long as the respective interests of the
Term Claimholders attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2 hereof; and 
 (ii) the
Senior Indebtedness Representative and the Senior Revolving Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition,
or restrictions with respect to the Collateral as provided for under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents without any consultation with or the consent of the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder (but in no event shall the Senior
Indebtedness Representative and the Senior Revolving Claimholders have the right to require the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder to release their Liens except as expressly provided in this Agreement); 

provided, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Obligor, the Term
Administrative Agent may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, (B) the Term Administrative Agent may accelerate the Second Lien Obligations and take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the
Collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness, or the rights of the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral,
(C) the Term Claimholders shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance
of the claims of the Term Claimholders, including without limitation any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (D) the Term Claimholders shall be entitled to file any pleadings,
objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Obligors arising under either the Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, (E) the Term Claimholders shall be entitled to file any proof of claim and other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Lien
Obligations and the Collateral, (F) the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the termination of each then outstanding Standstill Period to the extent
permitted by clause (i)(x) above, and (G) the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Claimholders may charge default interest pursuant to 

  
 11 

 
the terms of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Senior Indebtedness Representative and the Senior Revolving Claimholders
may enforce the provisions of the Senior Revolving Credit Documents, and the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Term Credit Documents, in each case, as applicable, and exercise remedies thereunder,
all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to
incur reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable legal fees) in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable
jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Term Administrative Agent, on behalf
of itself and the Term Claimholders, agrees that, it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with an Enforcement Action in violation of this Agreement. 

(c) Subject to Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement, (i) the Term Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term
Claimholders, agrees that the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any
sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the Term Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the
Term Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Senior Revolving Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the Senior Indebtedness or the Liens granted in
any of the Senior Revolving Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Senior Indebtedness Representative or Senior Revolving Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Term Administrative Agent or Term
Claimholders. 
 (d) The Senior Indebtedness Representative shall provide (i) at least ten (10) days’ notice prior to taking
any Enforcement Action to the Term Administrative Agent of its intent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral and (ii) notice no later than one Business Day after such Enforcement Action is taken. 

(e) Each Term Lender agrees that upon termination of a Standstill Period if any Term Lender or the Term Administrative Agent or other
representative of such Term Lender intends to commence any Enforcement Action, then such Term Lender or the Term Administrative Agent or other representative shall first deliver notice thereof in writing to the Senior Indebtedness Representative
both (i) not less than ten (10) days prior to taking any such Enforcement Action, and (ii) one (1) Business Day after such Enforcement Action is taken. Such notices may be given during a Standstill Period. 

Section 3.2 Cooperation. Subject to its rights after the expiration of each outstanding Standstill Period and subject to
Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement, the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Claimholders, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge 

  
 12 

 
of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding (including,
without limitation, any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) with respect to any Lien held by it under the Term Collateral Documents or any other Term Credit Document or otherwise. 

Section 3.3 Coordination of Enforcement Efforts. Without providing any rights or benefits to the Borrower or any Obligor, the
Senior Indebtedness Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, and the Term Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Claimholders, agree that in the event enforcement proceedings are necessary,
such parties shall reasonably discuss the possibility of undertaking a coordinated enforcement process, including an effort to attempt to sell the Collateral for fair market value as a going concern and to reasonably enter into arrangements between
themselves so as to permit the ongoing operation of the business of the Borrower and the other Obligors. Failure to enter into such discussions shall in no way affect the rights and/or obligations of any party as set forth in this Agreement. In
addition, the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Claimholders may join in (but not control) any judicial foreclosure proceeding or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by the Senior Indebtedness
Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder, to the extent that any such action could not reasonably be expected, in any material respect, to restrain, hinder, limit, delay for any material period or otherwise interfere with the exercise of
such remedy or remedies by the Senior Indebtedness Representative or such Senior Revolving Claimholder. 
 ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENTS 
 Section 4.1

Section 4.2 Payments Over. So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, any Collateral or proceeds thereof
(together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off)
with respect to the Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the 

  
 13 

 
Senior Indebtedness Representative for the benefit of the Senior Revolving Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct. The Senior Indebtedness Representative is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Term Administrative Agent or any such Term Claimholders. This authorization is limited to the specific matters described in
the preceding sentence and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. After the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, any amount received by or distributed to

ability of the Term Lenders to receive, scheduled principal and other interest payments in accordance with the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement and the other Term Credit Documents. 

ARTICLE V 
 OTHER
AGREEMENTS 
 Section 5.1 Releases. 

(a) If, in connection with: 
 (i)
any sale of any Collateral permitted under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency under the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement; or 

  
 14 

 (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral permitted under
the terms of both the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, 
 the Senior Indebtedness Representative, for itself or on
behalf of any of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases any Obligor from its obligations under its guaranty of the Senior Indebtedness, in each case other than in connection with the
Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, then the Term Administrative Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Term Claimholders, shall release the Liens (if any) of the Term Administrative Agent on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Obligor
under its guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously be released and the Term Administrative Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Term Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to
the Senior Indebtedness Representative or such Obligor such termination statements, releases and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to effectively confirm such release. 

(b) Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness occurs, the Term Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Claimholders,
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Senior Indebtedness Representative and any officer or agent of the Senior Indebtedness Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of the Term Administrative Agent or such holder or in the Senior Indebtedness Representative’s own name, from time to time in the Senior Indebtedness Representative’s discretion, for the purpose
of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or
other instruments of transfer or release. 
 (c) Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness occurs, to the extent that the Senior Revolving
Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral or any Obligor from its obligation under its guaranty and any such Liens or guaranty are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new first priority Liens or additional guaranties from
Obligors, then the Term Claimholders shall be immediately granted a second priority lien on any such Collateral and an additional guaranty, as the case may be. 

Section 5.2 Insurance. The Senior Indebtedness Representative and the Senior Revolving Claimholders shall have the sole and
exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any
condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral until the earliest to occur of (a) the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, (b) the Senior Indebtedness Representative, in a written instrument,
waives or otherwise confers such right to the Term Administrative Agent or a Term Claimholder or (c) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default which has resulted in a Standstill Period, such Standstill Period has
elapsed. Subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Senior Revolving Collateral Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect to the Collateral shall
be paid (w) until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, to the Senior Indebtedness 

  
 15

collateralization of letters of credit and Eligible Swap Agreements); (x) after the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Term Collateral Documents, to the Term Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Term Claimholders to the extent required under the Term Collateral Documents and then, (y) to the extent the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has occurred, to the Senior Indebtedness Representative for the benefit of the
Senior Revolving Claimholders to the extent that there are principal amounts owing in excess of the First Lien Cap amount, and (z) thereafter, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, if the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award
or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Senior Indebtedness Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 of this Agreement. 

Section 5.3 Amendments to Credit Documents. 

(a) Unless a similar amendment, supplement or modification to the applicable Senior Revolving Credit Document(s) has been, or is concurrently
being, made, without the prior written consent of the Senior Indebtedness Representative, no Term Credit Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the
terms of any new Term Credit Document, if (i) the effect thereof would be to shorten the maturity of the Second Lien Obligations or shorten the average life or increase the amount of any payment of principal thereof or increase the interest
rate by more than 200 basis points or to add scheduled recurring fee or add call or pre-payment premiums or shorten any period for payment of interest thereon (other than amendments providing for the payment of interest on a monthly basis),
(ii) such action requires the payment of a consent fee (howsoever described) in excess of two percent (2%) per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien Obligations, (iii) such action adds additional Property as
collateral to secure the Second Lien Obligations unless the Borrower complies with Section 8.13(e) of the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement or (iv) such action adds any covenants or defaults without the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement
being contemporaneously amended to add substantially similar covenants or defaults, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the execution of supplemental agreements to add guarantors if required by the terms thereof provided that any such
guarantor also guarantees the Senior Indebtedness; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the incurrence or subsequent refinancing of Incremental Term Loans, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and Extended Loans, in each
case, to the extent permitted by the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement. 
 The Borrower agrees that each Term
Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the Senior Indebtedness Representative): 

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Term Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Term Administrative Agent hereunder are 

  
 16 

 
subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2012 as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor
Agreement”), among Borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Senior Indebtedness Representative, Bank of America, N.A., as Term Administrative Agent, and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to
time.” 
 (b) The Senior Revolving Credit Documents and any agreements relating to Eligible Swap Agreements constituting Senior
Indebtedness may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without the consent of the Term Administrative Agent or the Term
Lenders; provided, however, that any such amendment, supplement, waiver, modification or Refinancing shall not: (i) increase any applicable interest rate or scheduled recurring fees with respect to the Senior Indebtedness more
than 200 basis points, except in connection with the imposition of a default rate of interest in accordance with the terms of the Senior Revolving Credit Documents (as in effect on the date hereof); (ii) require the payment of a consent fee
(howsoever described) in excess of two percent (2%) per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness; (iii) modify the scheduled amortization of any portion of the principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness (as set
forth in the Senior Revolving Credit Documents in effect on the date hereof); (iv) add or make more restrictive any event of default or any covenant with respect to the Senior Indebtedness or make any change to any event of default or any
covenant which would have the effect of making such event of default or covenant more restrictive, unless a corresponding amendment is offered to the Term Lenders; (v) change any redemption, put or prepayment provisions of the Senior
Indebtedness (other than in respect of Eligible Swap Agreements) in a manner adverse to the Term Lenders; (vi) directly prohibit or restrict the payment of principal of, interest on, or other amounts payable with respect to the Second Lien
Obligations in a manner that is more restrictive than the prohibitions and restrictions currently contained in the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement; (vii) subordinate in right of payment any of the Senior Indebtedness, or subordinate the Lien
on any of the Collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness; (viii) change the definitions of “Borrowing Base”, “Oil and Gas Properties”, or any of the component definitions thereof in a manner adverse to the Term Lenders;
(ix) add additional Property as collateral to secure the Notes unless the Borrower complies with Section 8.11(e) of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement; (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of the Senior Indebtedness (other than
Eligible Swap Agreements) or any other scheduled payment date for principal, interest or any other amount in respect thereof or (xi) amend Section 2.07 of the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement in a manner adverse to the Term Lenders;
provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the execution of supplemental agreements to add guarantors if required by the terms thereof provided that any such guarantor also guarantees the Second Lien Obligations. 

Section 5.4 Rights as an Unsecured Creditor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Senior
Revolving Credit Document, the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies available to unsecured creditors in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, the Term Credit Documents and
applicable law, and nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the acceleration of the Second Lien Obligations or the receipt of the Term Administrative Agent or the Term Lenders of the required payments of principal and interest and other amounts, so
long 

  
 17 

 
as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise of the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lenders of an Enforcement Action in contravention of this Agreement. Except as
expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Senior Revolving Claimholders may have with respect to the Senior Revolving Collateral.

 Section 5.5 Bailee for Perfection. 

(a) The Senior Indebtedness Representative agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the
possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the Uniform Commercial Code (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral
agent for the Senior Revolving Claimholders and as bailee for the Term Administrative Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Credit
Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. 
 (b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until
the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, the Senior Indebtedness Representative shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Revolving Credit Documents as if the Liens of the Term
Administrative Agent under the Term Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Term Administrative Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) The Senior Indebtedness Representative shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Senior Revolving Claimholders and the Term
Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Obligors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or
responsibilities of the Senior Indebtedness Representative under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5. 

(d) The Senior Indebtedness Representative acting pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not have by reason of the Senior Revolving
Collateral Documents, the Term Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder. 

(e) Upon the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents to which the Senior Indebtedness Representative is a
party, the Senior Indebtedness Representative shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements, to the Term Administrative Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and the Senior
Indebtedness Representative further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Term Administrative Agent in connection with it obtaining a first priority interest in the Collateral in such a situation. Upon the Discharge of Second
Lien Obligations under the Term Credit Documents to which the Term Administrative Agent is a party, the Term Administrative Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements, to the Senior
Indebtedness Representatives to 

  
 18 

 
the extent that any principal in excess of the First Lien Cap amount remains outstanding under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents, and the Term Administrative Agent further agrees to take all
other action reasonably requested by the Senior Indebtedness Representative in connection with it obtaining a first priority interest in the Collateral in such a situation. 

Section 5.6 Purchase Option. 

(a) The Senior Indebtedness Representative, on behalf of itself and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, agrees that if (i) an Event of
Default under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents has occurred and is continuing, and as a result of such Event of Default under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents (A) the Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated and/or (B) the
Majority Lenders are pursuing remedies of foreclosure against the Collateral (the “Trigger Event”), or (ii) an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Obligor, then the Term
Claimholders shall have the right and option to purchase the entire aggregate amount of outstanding Senior Indebtedness (including unfunded commitments) up to, in the case of principal, the First Lien Cap amount, at a price of not less than par,
plus all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, together with cash collateral for all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to 105% of the undrawn and available amount consistent with all other Senior Revolving Credit Documents of all
letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents, and a payment for all then outstanding Eligible Swap Agreements at a price equal to the sum of any unpaid amounts then due in respect of such Eligible Swap Agreements plus or
minus a net amount quoted by the Senior Revolving Claimholder party to such Eligible Swap Agreement that would be paid to assign or novate each such Eligible Swap Agreement in the ordinary course of its business. Such sale shall be without warranty
or representation or recourse other than as provided in standard LSTA documentation for par trades. To exercise the option following a Trigger Event, the Term Administrative Agent shall deliver a written notice to the Senior Indebtedness
Representative and the Senior Revolving Lenders, which notice shall be deemed an irrevocable offer to the Senior Revolving Claimholders to purchase the Senior Indebtedness on the terms set forth in this Section (the “Purchase
Notice”). 
 (b) Upon receipt of a Purchase Notice the parties to such purchase shall endeavor to close within twenty
(20) days after such acceptance (such entire period referred to as the “Purchase Period”). Neither the Senior Indebtedness Representative nor the Senior Revolving Claimholders shall commence any Enforcement Action during the
Purchase Period; provided, however, if, upon expiration of the Purchase Period, the parties to such purchase have not closed the transaction, then the Senior Indebtedness Representative and the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall have
no further obligations pursuant to this Section and may commence any Enforcement Action in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Revolving Credit Documents and this Agreement; provided that if during the Purchase Period, a Senior
Revolving Claimholder determines Exigent Circumstances exist, (A) it may or may direct the Senior Indebtedness Representative to take appropriate Enforcement Actions to preserve the value of the Collateral or the amount which could reasonably
be expected to be recovered thereon and (B) nothing shall prevent the early termination of a Swap Agreement and the netting of amounts due in respect thereof.

 ARTICLE VI 

INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS 

Section 6.1 Filing of Claims; Finance and Sale Issues. If no proof of claim is filed in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
with respect to any Second Lien Obligations by the third (3rd) day prior to the bar date for any such proof of claim, the Senior Indebtedness Representative may, after notice to the Term Lenders or the Term Administrative Agent or other
representative, file such a proof of claim on behalf of the Term Lenders, and each Term Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Senior Indebtedness Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact for such limited purpose; provided, that the
foregoing shall not confer to the holder of any Senior Indebtedness the right to vote on behalf of the Term Lenders in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings or any other right. Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, if the
Borrower or any other Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Senior Indebtedness Representative shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral on which the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any other
creditor has a Lien or to permit the Borrower or any other Obligor to obtain financing from the Senior Revolving Claimholders under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (each, a
“DIP Financing”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount when combined with the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness not to exceed the First Lien Cap, then the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself
and the Term Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the Senior
Indebtedness Representative or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3) and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Term Administrative Agent will subordinate
its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Term Lenders from (a) objecting to any DIP Financing relating
to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization, (b) proposing any other DIP Financing to the Borrower or the bankruptcy court, (c) objecting to any term of the DIP Financing requiring the liquidation of the Collateral before a
default under the DIP Financing exists, or (d) asserting any objection to the DIP Financing available to an unsecured creditor. The Term Administrative Agent on behalf of the Term Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection or oppose a
sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Revolving Claimholders have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets. 

Section 6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the earlier of (a) the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred or
(b) 180 days after the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding have elapsed, the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Senior Indebtedness Representative. If after the expiration of the foregoing period, the Term Administrative Agent or any
Term Claimholder seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay, the Term Administrative Agent will provide prompt written notice thereof. 

  
 20 

 Section 6.3 Adequate Protection. The Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself
and the Term Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other person contesting) (a) any request by the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Senior Revolving Claimholders for adequate protection or (b) any
objection by the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Senior Revolving Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Senior Revolving Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate
protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in Section 6.1 or this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Revolving Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in
the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional
collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to
the Senior Indebtedness under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Second Lien Obligations and such adequate
protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Claimholders, agrees that the Senior Indebtedness Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such
additional collateral as security for the Senior Indebtedness and for any such DIP Financing provided by the Senior Revolving Claimholders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to
the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness and any such DIP Financing provided by the Senior Revolving Claimholders (and all Obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Senior Revolving Claimholders as
adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness under this Agreement. Except as set forth above, the Term Administrative Agent shall not be limited from
seeking adequate protection with respect to its rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including, without limitation, adequate protection in the form of cash payments of interest or otherwise). 

Section 6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement and other actions expressly permitted hereunder, nothing
contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Term Administrative
Agent or any of the Term Claimholders, including the seeking by the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholders of any of its rights and
remedies under the Term Credit Documents or otherwise. If in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off, then such Person shall, to the extent practicable,
exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with this Agreement. 
 Section 6.5 Avoidance
Issues. If any Senior Revolving Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower or any other Obligor any amount (a “Recovery”), then
such Senior Revolving Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Senior Indebtedness with respect to all such 

  
 21 

 
recovered amounts; provided that the terms of this Agreement as between the parties shall not apply to any such Liens as reinstated to the extent the court ordering such Recovery determines such
Recovery is due as the result of fraud, bad faith or the intentional misconduct of such Senior Revolving Claimholder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect,
and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement unless the court ordering such Recovery determines such Recovery is due as the result
of fraud, bad faith or the intentional misconduct of such Senior Revolving Claimholder. 
 Section 6.6 Reorganization
Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive
restructuring plan, both on account of Senior Indebtedness and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Indebtedness and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are
secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 

Section 6.7 Post-Petition Interest. 

(a) Neither the Term Administrative Agent nor any Term Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Senior Indebtedness
Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Indebtedness consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Senior Revolving
Claimholder’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Term Administrative Agent on behalf of the Term Claimholders on the Collateral. 

(b) Neither the Senior Indebtedness Representative nor any other Senior Revolving Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by
the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Term
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Term Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the Senior Indebtedness Representative on behalf of the Senior Revolving Claimholders on the Collateral). 

Section 6.8 Waiver. The Term Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Claimholders, waives any claim it may
hereafter have against any Senior Revolving Claimholder arising out of the election of any Senior Revolving Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement
or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The Senior Indebtedness Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, waives any claim it may
hereafter have against any Term Claimholder arising out of the election of any Term Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (which is not in contravention of this Agreement), and/or out of any cash collateral
or financing arrangement (which is not in contravention of this Agreement) or out of any grant of a security interest of the appropriate priority (which is not in contravention of this Agreement) in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding. 

  
 22 

 Section 6.9 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Neither
the Term Administrative Agent nor any other Term Lender shall, in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any Property of any Obligor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code that is supported by
the Senior Revolving Claimholders, and the Term Administrative Agent and each other Term Lender will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to any such sale supported by the Senior Revolving Claimholders; provided
in any case, the cash proceeds of such sale are used to permanently repay Senior Indebtedness and/or other permitted senior claims (i.e. “Excepted Liens”) on the assets subject of such sale. Neither the Term Administrative Agent nor any
other Term Lender shall, in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, assert in connection with any sale or disposition of any Property of any Obligor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code any rights under Section 363(k) of
the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise credit bid any of the Second Lien Obligations unless such credit bid includes a cash portion for any amounts with respect to the Senior Indebtedness. 

Section 6.10 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Term Lender acknowledges and agrees that (a) the
grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Revolving Credit Documents and the Term Credit Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second
Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Indebtedness and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the Term
Lenders as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims against the Senior Revolving Claimholders and Term Lenders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of
senior and junior secured claims), then the Term Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Borrower and/or other Obligors in respect of
the Collateral with the effect being that (i) to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Lenders), the Senior Revolving Claimholders shall be entitled to
receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal up to the First Lien Cap amount, pre-petition interest and other claims owing in respect thereof, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest owing in respect
thereof before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Term Lenders and (ii) the Term Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree to turn over to the Senior Revolving Claimholders amounts otherwise received or receivable by them
to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Lenders. 

Section 6.11 Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. This Agreement shall be effective both before and after the
commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Obligor shall include such Obligor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Obligor in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

Claimholders shall have no duty to the Term Administrative Agent or any of the Term Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any

 24 

 Section 7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities. 

(a) No right of the Senior Revolving Claimholders, the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any of them to enforce any provision of this
Agreement or any Senior Revolving Credit Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or any other Obligor or by any act or failure to act by any Senior Revolving
Claimholder or the Senior Indebtedness Representative, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the Senior Revolving Credit Documents or any of the Term Credit Documents, regardless of
any knowledge thereof which the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Senior Revolving Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

under the Senior Revolving Credit Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a), Section 5.3(b) and Section 8.4), the Senior Revolving Claimholders, the Senior Indebtedness Representative and any of them may, at any time

 (i) change the manner, place or
terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Senior Indebtedness or any Lien on any Senior Revolving Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of the

actions taken in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (excluding actions constituting the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Senior Indebtedness Representative or any Senior Revolving Claimholder), and the Term Administrative

 ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.1 Conflicts. With respect solely to the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Indebtedness Representative and
the Senior Revolving Claimholders, on one hand, and the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Claimholders, on the other hand, and not with respect to any right or obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor or Obligor under any Senior Revolving
Credit Document or Term Credit Document, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Senior Revolving Credit Documents or the Term Credit Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern
and control. 
 Section 8.2 Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become
effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. Except as set forth herein, this is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior Revolving Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the Term
Administrative Agent or any Term Claimholder subject to the Term Credit Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Obligor constituting Senior Indebtedness in reliance
hereof. The Term Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Claimholders, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement absent fraud or material
misrepresentation by any other party hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to the Borrower or any other Obligor shall include the Borrower or such Obligor as debtor and debtor in possession and any receiver or trustee for the Borrower or any other Obligor (as the case may
be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, (a) with respect to the Term Administrative Agent, the Term Claimholders and the Second Lien Obligations, upon the later of
(i) the date upon which the obligations under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement terminate if there are no other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date and (ii) if there are other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such
date, the date upon which such Second Lien Obligations terminate and (b) with respect to the Senior Indebtedness Representative, the Senior Revolving Claimholders and the Senior Indebtedness, the date on which the Senior Indebtedness is paid in
full in cash and all of the Commitments of the Senior Revolving Claimholders have expired or been terminated, subject to the rights of the Senior Revolving Claimholders under Section 6.5. 

Section 8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement by the Term
Administrative Agent or the Senior Indebtedness Representative shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect
to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of 

  
 27 

 
the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor shall have any right to
consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected (which includes, but is not limited to any amendment to the Obligors’ ability to cause
additional obligations to constitute Senior Indebtedness or Second Lien Obligations as the Borrower may designate).
