ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred would be at least 2.0 to 1.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsection (a) of this Section 4.03 shall not prohibit the Incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”):

(6) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness owing to and held by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that any event that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (except for any pledge of such Indebtedness until the pledgee commences actions to foreclose on such Indebtedness) shall 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) (i) a Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Indebtedness was incurred in accordance with this Section 4.03, and (ii) a Guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness of the Company, provided that (x) such Indebtedness was incurred in accordance with this Section 4.03 and (y) the Restricted Subsidiary concurrently Guarantees the Securities in accordance with Section 4.05;

(10) (i) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its Incurrence; and (ii) any customary cash management, cash pooling or netting or setting off arrangements in the ordinary course of business;

(12) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease or to satisfy and discharge the Securities as described in Article VIII of the Base Indenture (as amended by this First Supplemental Indenture);

(13) Indebtedness consisting of (i) Acquired Indebtedness of any Person and/or (ii) Additional Securities or any unsecured debt securities of the Company having a final maturity date no earlier than the final maturity date of the Securities (and no ability on the part of the Company to redeem such debt securities prior to the final maturity date of the Securities), in all cases, incurred by the Company to finance (or refinance within 180 days of the incurrence thereof of any Indebtedness incurred to finance) the acquisition of any assets (including a division or line of business) or all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of a Person; provided that, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence thereof and the use of proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred would be either (x) at least 2.0 to 1 or (y) equal to or greater than such Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company in effect immediately prior to, and calculated without giving pro forma effect to, the acquisition transaction and the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the use of proceeds therefrom;

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (1) through (15) of Section 4.03(b), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Company shall be permitted to classify, and may later reclassify, such item of Indebtedness or a part thereof in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, (i) the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies and (ii) any fluctuations in the value of assets as a result of changes in fair value or xxxx to market accounting shall not be deemed an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of the Indenture.

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated by the Company based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred (or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt); provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus accrued interest and the related costs and fees of such refinancing. The Trustee shall not be responsible for obtaining any foreign currency rate or performing any conversions.

(f) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 4.04 Limitation on Liens Securing Indebtedness of the Company. The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any kind upon the property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, now owned or hereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness of the Company unless all obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Securities are secured by a Lien on such property or assets on an equal and ratable basis with such Indebtedness so secured (or, in the case of Indebtedness subordinated to the Securities, senior in priority thereto, with the same relative priority as the Securities shall have with respect to such subordinated Indebtedness) until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer outstanding or secured by a Lien.

Section 4.05 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantees of Indebtedness of the Company. The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company (other than the Securities) unless such Restricted Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for the Guarantee of the Securities (a “Security Guarantee”) by such Restricted Subsidiary, which Security Guarantee shall rank equally in right of payment with such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee of the Company Indebtedness (unless the Company Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Securities, in which case the Guarantee of the Indebtedness of the Company shall be subordinated to the Security Guarantee to the same extent as the Indebtedness of the Company is subordinated to the Securities). Any Security Guarantee provided pursuant to this Section 4.05

shall be automatically released when such Indebtedness of the Company is no longer outstanding or the Guarantee of such Indebtedness of the Company is released or terminated, in each case, other than as a result of a payment thereon by the Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.06 Payments for Consent.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Securities for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Securities 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 4.07 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) On the Issue Date, all of the Subsidiaries of the Company, shall be Restricted Subsidiaries other than HealthCare Royalty Partners, which shall be an Unrestricted Subsidiary until otherwise designated by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that at the time of such designation the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) any Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary being so designated shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, at the time of such designation, and such designation shall only be permitted if such Incurrence of Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.03;

(ii) such Subsidiary does not hold any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of, or own or hold any Lien on any property or assets of, or have any Investment in, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(iii) the Subsidiary being so designated has not Guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except to the extent such Guarantee or credit support would be released upon such designation; and

(iv) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

(b) Any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced by the Company filing with the Trustee the Board Resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the Indenture. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet any of the preceding requirements described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.07(a), it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture, and any Indebtedness or Liens on the property of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred or made by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date, and if such Indebtedness or Liens

are not permitted to be Incurred or made as of such date under the Indenture, the Company shall be in default under the Indenture.

(c) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that at the time of such designation the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) such designation shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.03;

(ii) all Liens upon property or assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary existing at the time of such designation must be permitted under Section 4.04; and

(iii) no Default or Event of Default is in existence following such designation.

Section 4.08 Covenant Suspension.

(a) If at any time (i) the Securities have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Ratings Agencies, (ii) no default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying to the foregoing provisions of this sentence, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.02 and 4.03 of this First Supplemental Indenture and 4.1(a)(ii) of the Base Indenture as amended and restated by this First Supplemental Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time (the “Suspension Period”) as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, one of the Rating Agencies withdraws its rating, no longer makes its rating publicly available or downgrades the rating assigned to the Securities resulting in the Securities no longer having an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies (the “Reversion Date”), then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants, it being understood that no actions taken by (or omissions of) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period shall constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Suspended Covenants. Furthermore, after the Reversion Date, (i) calculations with respect to Restricted Payments shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02 as though such covenant had been in effect prior to and throughout the Suspension Period and accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.02(a) and (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Securities have received an Investment Grade Rating from any of the Rating Agencies and thereafter, Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch ceases to exist with no successor or assign or Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch ceases to publicly rate the Securities for reasons outside of the Company’s control (a “ratings failure event”), then the Company shall have 60 calendar days from the ratings failure event to select

another Rating Agency in substitution for Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch and until the earlier of the expiration of such 60-day period or the selection of such other Rating Agency, the Securities shall be deemed to have an Investment Grade Rating.

(c) During a Suspension Period, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries that was a Restricted Subsidiary at the commencement of a Suspension Period as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Company shall provide the Trustee with prompt written notice of the commencement of any Suspension Period.

(a) The Company shall not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless:

(i) either:

(A) the Company shall be the surviving or continuing corporation; or

(B) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Company and of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”):

(1) shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; and

(2) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Securities and the performance of every covenant of the Securities and the Indenture on the Company’s part to be performed or observed;

(ii) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (i)(B)(2) of this Section 4.1 (including giving pro

forma effect to any Indebtedness, including Acquired Indebtedness, incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction), the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of such transaction would be either (a) at least 2.0 to 1 or (b) equal to or greater than such Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company in effect immediately prior to, and calculated without giving pro forma effect to, such transaction;

(iii) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (i)(B)(2) of this Section 4.1 (including, without limitation, giving effect to any Indebtedness, including Acquired Indebtedness, incurred or anticipated to be incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and

(iv) the Company or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

provided, however, that clause (ii) shall not apply (A) if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee, the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of incorporation of the Company, and any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations, or (B) to any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary.

(b) For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets.

(c) Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in accordance with the foregoing in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named as such.

(i) is caused by a failure to make any payment of principal or interest when due at the stated maturity thereof (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 7.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Section 8.1 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following Section 8.1:

The Securities shall be subject to defeasance or covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article VIII. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 be applied to all outstanding Securities so subject to defeasance or covenant defeasance. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution of the Company.

Section 7.02 Covenant Defeasance. Section 8.3 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following Section 8.3:

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3 with respect to the Securities, the Company shall, with respect to the Securities, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.2 and 3.5 of the Base Indenture, Sections 3.03, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06 and 4.07 of this First Supplemental Indenture and Section 4.1 of the Base Indenture (as amended by Section 5.01 of this First Supplemental Indenture) with respect to the outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of the Securities (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that the Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under clauses (3), (4) or (7) of Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture (as amended and restated by Section 6.01 of this First Supplemental Indenture), but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and the Securities shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises under Section 8.1 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (5), (6), (8) or (9) (other than, in the case of clauses (8) and (9), any such Event of Default with respect to the Company) of Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture (as amended and restated by Section 6.01 of this First Supplemental Indenture).

Section 7.03 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. Section 8.4 of the Base Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following Section 8.4:

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof to the outstanding Securities of any series.

In order to exercise Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Securities of any series:

(1) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, (i) cash in U.S. dollars, (ii) non-callable U.S. government securities or (iii) a combination thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient, after payment of all federal, state and local taxes in respect thereof, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay when due the principal, premium, if any, and interest to Stated Maturity or to the Redemption Date, as the case may be, with respect to the Securities then outstanding, and any similar payments or payment pursuant to any call for redemption applicable to the Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Securities;

(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the deposit or insofar as an Event of Default resulting from certain events involving the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of the deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration date of the longest preference period applicable to the Company in respect of the deposit (and this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

(3) the defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have any conflicting interest with respect to any of securities of the Company or result in the trust arising from the deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(4) the defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any Significant Subsidiary is bound;

(5) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax in the same manner as if the defeasance had not occurred, which Opinion of Counsel, in the case of legal defeasance, must refer to and be based upon a published ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, a private ruling of the Internal Revenue Service addressed to us, or otherwise a change in applicable federal income tax law occurring after the date hereof; and

(6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the conditions to such defeasance set forth in the Indenture have been complied with.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENTS

Section 8.01 Without Consent of Holders. Section 9.1 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Holder of Securities:

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

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

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of Securities in accordance with the Indenture in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Securities or that does not materially, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder;

(5) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(6) to comply with the provisions of Section 4.05 of this First Supplemental Indenture;

(8) to provide for the issuance of Additional Securities in accordance with the Indenture; or

(9) to conform the Indenture or the Securities to the “Description of the Notes” section in the Prospectus Supplement, to the extent any provision of the Indenture or the Securities is expressly inconsistent with any provision of the “Description of the Notes”.

After an amendment becomes effective, the Company is required to deliver to the Holders of each Security affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders of each Security affected thereof, or any defect

therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplemental indenture under this Section 9.1.

Section 8.02 With Consent of Holders. Section 9.2 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Except as provided in Section 9.1 and this Section 9.2, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities).

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.5, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.6, join with the Company in the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture.

Except as otherwise provided by Section 6.4 and this Section 9.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture with respect to the Securities (including waivers obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities of such series).

Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Security;

(3) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security;

(4) change the optional Redemption Price (or the method of calculating the Redemption Price) of the Securities from those stated in Section 3.01;

(5) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest, or premium, if any, on, the Securities (except, upon a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities, a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration) or in respect of any other covenant or provision that cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders;

(6) make any Security payable in money other than U.S. dollars;

(7) make any change in the amendment and waiver provisions of the Indenture;

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Security Guarantee or the Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(9) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Securities or any Security Guarantee; or

(10) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with Section 3.03 after such Change of Control has occurred, including, in each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

A consent to any amendment or waiver under the Indenture by any Holder of the Securities given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Securities will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall promptly deliver to Holders of each Security affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders of each Security affected thereby, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver under this Section 9.2.

XXXXX GROUP, INC.

8.25% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2021

1. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 8.25% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Securities”) issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of October 10, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), and the first supplemental indenture, dated as of October 10, 2014 (the Base Indenture, as so supplemented and as it may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Securities, including the principal thereof and interest thereon (including post-default interest), shall constitute unsecured indebtedness of the Company and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s current and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior to all of its current and future subordinated debt.

Interest on the Securities shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

2. The Securities are redeemable, at the option of the Company, as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Redemption Prices and in the manner provided in the Indenture.

3. If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Securities pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Security, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $25.00 or in integral multiples of $25.00) of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, at a cash purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement of the Change of Control Offer.

4. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

5. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment or supplement thereof and the Securities and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of Securities under the Indenture at any

time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

6. The Securities are issuable as registered securities in minimum denominations of $25.00 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $25.00. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities in authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

7. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Registrar shall register the transfer and make certain exchanges of the Securities if the Registrar’s requirements and the requirements of the Indenture for such transactions are met. Such Securities presented for transfer or exchange must be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which instruction the Registrar can conclusively rely.

8. No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any such registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Indenture), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable on exchanges pursuant to the Indenture).

9. Prior to the due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer or exchange, the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee, any Agent nor any authenticating agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

10. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

11. No director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

12. This Security shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.

13. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUT (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

14. Each Holder of this Security covenants and agrees by such Holder’s acceptance thereof to comply with and be bound by the foregoing provisions.

15. THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND THE HOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY, THE INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

16. All capitalized terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
