Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.

Such registration in the Security Register shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of the Notes. Included in the books and records for the Notes shall be notations as to whether such Notes have been paid, exchanged or transferred, canceled, lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed and whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so replaced and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so canceled and the date on which such Note was canceled.

Not later than 11:00 am (New York, New York time) on each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal of, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due on the due date for payment under the Notes. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal of, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

(a)Where Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.6. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the

Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any (i) transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange and (ii) agency fee or similar charge payable in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (other than any agency fee or similar charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.7 or 9.4) or in accordance with an Offer to Purchase pursuant to Section 4.4, not involving a transfer.

Upon presentation for exchange or transfer of any Note as permitted by the terms of this Indenture and by any legend appearing on such Note, such Note shall be exchanged or transferred upon the Security Register and one or more new Notes shall be authenticated and issued in the name of the Holder (in the case of exchanges only) or the transferee, as the case may be. No exchange or transfer of a Note shall be effective under this Indenture unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person in the Security Register. Furthermore, the exchange or transfer of any Note shall not be effective under this Indenture unless the request for such exchange or transfer is made by the Holder or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact at the office of the Registrar.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of fifteen days before the day of selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 and ending upon such selection of Notes, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, or of any beneficial interest therein, shall only be made in accordance with Sections 2.1(c), 2.6(a) and this Section 2.6(b); provided, however, that a beneficial interest in a Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the legend on the Note, if any.

(i)Except for transfers or exchanges made in accordance with any of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.6(b), transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(ii)Restricted Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note at any time wishes to exchange its interest in such Restricted Global Note for an interest in a Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, such transfer or exchange may be effected only in accordance with this clause (ii) and the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream. Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) instructions directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in such Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in a Restricted Global Note in such specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, given by the owner of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and (x) pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S or (y) that the Note being transferred is being transferred in a transaction permitted by Rule 144, then the Registrar shall instruct the Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of such Restricted Global Note and the Depositary to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Restricted Global Note to be exchanged.

(iii)Regulation S Global Note to Restricted Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note at any time wishes to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this clause (iii) and the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream. Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) instructions directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in such Restricted Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in such Regulation S Global Note in such specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, given by the owner of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and stating that (x) the Person transferring such interest reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest is a QIB and is obtaining such interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or (y) that the Person transferring such interest is relying on an exemption other than Rule 144A from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in such circumstances, such Opinion of Counsel as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably request to ensure that the requested transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Registrar shall instruct the Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note and to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of such Restricted Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in such Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred.

(iv)Global Notes to certificated Notes. In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated, registered form pursuant to Section 2.10, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the

Company and the Trustee. A beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be exchanged for a Note in certificated form or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Note in certificated form prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) of the Securities Act, except in the case of a transfer pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act other than Rule 903 or Rule 904.

(c)If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the restricted legends set forth in Exhibit A, the Notes so issued shall bear the restricted legends, and a request to remove such restricted legends from the Notes shall not be honored unless there is delivered to the Company such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel licensed to practice law in the State of New York, as may be reasonably required by the Company, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear the legend.

(d)The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be.

Section 2.7. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated certificated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note in such form as the Note mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken if the Holder satisfies any evidentiary or other reasonable requirements of the Trustee or the Company. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar and any co-Registrar, and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note shall be an additional obligation of the Company.

Section 2.8. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the Note which has been replaced is held by a bona fide purchaser.

Except if the Company or an Affiliate thereof is acting as Paying Agent, if the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that

date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.9. Notes Held by Company. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or by an Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and treated as if they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.10. Certificated Notes.

(a)A Global Note deposited with the Depositary, as the case may be, or other custodian for the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes only if such transfer complies with Section 2.6 and one of the following events has occurred (each, a “Certificated Note Event”): (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as the Depositary for such Global Note, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days of such notice, or (ii) if the owner of a beneficial interest in a Note requests such a transfer in writing delivered through the Depositary following an Event of Default under this Indenture and enforcement action is being taken in respect thereof under this Indenture. Notice of any such transfer shall be given by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2(a).

(b)Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Transfer Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of authorized denominations in the form of certificated Notes. Any portion of a Global Note transferred or exchanged pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in registered form in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Note is not exchangeable except for a Global Note of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Note becomes exchangeable for certificated Notes, payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the certificated Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the certificated Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes in accordance with Section 2.3. Such certificated Notes shall bear the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

(c)In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.10(a), the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

(d)In the event that certificated Notes are not issued to each owner of beneficial interests in Global Notes in accordance with Section 2.10(a) promptly after a Certificated Note Event, the Company explicitly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.6 or 6.7, the right of any beneficial owner in any Global Note to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial owner’s Notes as if such certificated Notes had been issued.

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, in accordance with its customary procedures, and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee’s retention policy) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and destroy such cancelled Notes in its customary manner. Certification of the destruction of cancelled Notes shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Company upon request. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. Any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture (all such interest herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a)The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company may deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest; or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. In addition, the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, such date to be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the proposed payment date and not less than 15 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment date. The Company shall promptly but, in any event, not less than 15 days prior to the special record date, notify the Trustee of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed first-class, postage prepaid to each Holder as such Xxxxxx’s address appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to clause (b) below.

(b)The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment date pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed reasonably practicable.

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

Section 2.13. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months.

Section 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers, as appropriate, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers or codes 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 Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.15. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company may issue an unlimited amount of Additional Notes from time to time under this Indenture in accordance with the procedures of Section 2.2; provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes may have a separate CUSIP number or common code and ISIN as applicable, from the Notes. The Original Notes issued on the date of this Indenture and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including with respect to waivers, amendments, redemptions and Offers to Purchase.

Section 2.16. Open Market Purchases. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION; OFFERS TO PURCHASE

Section 3.1. Right of Redemption.

(a)Prior to the date that is one month prior to the Maturity date of the Notes (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (assuming for this purpose that interest accrued to the Par Call Date is scheduled to be paid on the Par Call Date) from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date of the Notes discounted in either case to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day

year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus in either (i) or (ii), any interest accrued but not paid to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). For the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest pursuant to subclause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall not include interest accrued as of the Redemption Date.

(b)At any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any interest accrued but not paid to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(c)Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this Article 3.

Section 3.2.Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem all or a portion of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.1, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption will occur.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.2 at least two Business Days before the date notice is mailed to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.4 unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period or waives such notice requirement. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

Section 3.3.Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption as follows:

(1)in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed;

(2)if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; or

(3)otherwise in accordance with the procedures of Depositary;

provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $2,000.

The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions equal to $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that no such redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $2,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Registrar promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.

Section 3.4.Notice of Redemption.

(a)At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date of Notes, the Company shall (i) mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address contained in the Security Register or (ii) otherwise give notice of redemption to each Holder in accordance with the procedures of Depositary. The Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 12.2(b).

(b)The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP and ISIN numbers) and shall state:

(i)the Redemption Date or expected Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(ii)the Redemption Price (or the formula by which the Redemption Price will be determined in accordance with this Indenture) and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to be paid or expected to be paid; provided that if the notice does not include the actual Redemption Price, the actual Redemption Price shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date or expected Redemption Date, as applicable;

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

(iv)that such Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

(v)that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount (equal to $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Note to be redeemed (provided that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $2,000) and that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be reissued;

(vi)that, if any Note contains a CUSIP or ISIN number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of such CUSIP or ISIN number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Notes;

(vii)that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

(viii)the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which such Notes called for redemption are being redeemed.

In addition, if such redemption, purchase or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, as permitted by Section 3.1, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such

redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give a notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the notice and the other information required by this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5.Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have previously been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money so deposited that is not required for that purpose.

Section 3.6.Payment of Notes Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided herein, the Notes called for redemption or portion of such Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date (unless the Company delays such Redemption Date or rescinds such notice of redemption, in each case pursuant to a condition precedent specified in such notice of redemption) at the Redemption Price stated therein, together with accrued and unpaid interest to such Redemption Date, and on and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date.

Notice of redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed or electronically transmitted, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by Holders to whom such notice was properly given.

Section 3.7. Notes Redeemed in Part.

(a)Upon surrender of a Global Note that is redeemed in part, the Paying Agent shall forward such Global Note to the Trustee who shall make a notation on the Security Register to reduce the principal amount of such Global Note to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Global Note surrendered; provided, however, that each such Global Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b)Upon surrender and cancellation of a certificated Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s

expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and canceled; provided, however, that each such certificated Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.8.Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

ARTICLE 4

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders that it shall duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) holds, in accordance with this Indenture, money sufficient to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest then due.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to comply with Section 4.6 shall be deemed a default until a period of 120 days has elapsed from such failure, and any failure to comply with such Section shall be automatically cured when the Company files (or attempts to file) all required reports with the Commission or otherwise provide such financial information to Holders in accordance with Section 4.6.

The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default unless a Trust Officer has actual knowledge of such Default or written notice of such

Default has been received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. Delivery of reports to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.6 shall not constitute knowledge of, or notice to, the Trustee of the information contained therein.

Section 6.2.Acceleration.

(a)If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(a)(6) or 6.1(a)(7) above) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company specifying the Event of Default (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) may and the Trustee, upon the written request of such Holders shall, declare the principal amount of all of such outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration such principal amount in respect of the Notes shall become immediately due and payable.

Section 6.3.Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee (or Collateral Agent, as applicable), its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 6.4.Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture with respect to the Notes except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of premium, interest on, or the principal of, the Notes.

(b)The Holders of a majority in principal amount of then outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent with respect to the Notes or the Security Documents; provided that the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may refuse to follow any direction (i) that conflicts with law or this Indenture, (ii) that may involve the Trustee or Collateral Agent in personal liability or (iii) that the Trustee or Collateral Agent determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction. The Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes.

Section 6.6.Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1)the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2)the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(4)the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(5)during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

The limitations set forth in clauses (1) to (5) above do not apply to the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.

Section 6.7.Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, 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 6.8.Collection Suit by Trustee. The Company covenants that if (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof, the Company shall, upon

demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate provided therefor in the Notes, and, in addition thereto, 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.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 6.9.Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders at their direction in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6. The Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in any such matter.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10.Application of Money Collected. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent (including any predecessor Trustee or Collateral Agent) for amounts due under Section 7.6;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority

of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other obligors of the Notes, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11.Undertaking for Costs. A court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee or Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such 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 or Collateral Agent, a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or to any suit by any Holder pursuant to Section 6.7.

Section 6.12.Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Security Documents and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.13.Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.7, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.14.Delay or Omission not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.15.Record Date. The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or to consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Sections 6.4, 6.5, 9.2 and 11.4. Unless this Indenture provides otherwise, if not previously set by the Company, such record date shall be the later of ten days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.5 prior to such solicitation.

Section 6.16.Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Agent, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Sections 7.9 and 7.10, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, the Collateral Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

Section 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Notes or the proceeds thereof.

Section 7.5. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after April 1 of each year commencing with April 1, 2020, the Trustee shall transmit to the Holders, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such date, if, and to the extent, required by TIA Section 313(a)(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (7) and (8), as if this Indenture were qualified under the TIA. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2), as if this Indenture were qualified under the TIA.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any securities exchange and of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d).

Section 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company, failing which each Subsidiary Guarantor, shall pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent such compensation as shall be agreed in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company, failing which each Subsidiary Guarantor, shall reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

The Company, failing which the Subsidiary Guarantors, shall indemnify the Trustee and the Collateral Agent against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them without willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of their duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim, whether asserted by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person and the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 7.6)). The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall cooperate in such defense. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The

Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent through the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, or by the Collateral Agent, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes.

When the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Sections 6.1(a)(6) or 6.1(a)(7) with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.6 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee or Collateral Agent, the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article 8 and any rejection or termination under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, and the termination of this Indenture.

Section 7.7. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.7.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(a)the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9;

(b)the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(d)the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.7 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Company.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.8.Successor Trustee by Xxxxxx. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate such Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.9.Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1) and (5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall be deemed to be subject to TIA Section 310(b). If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the Trustee must either eliminate such interest within 90 days or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture.

Section 7.10.Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall be deemed to be subject to TIA Section 311(a) on the same basis as if this Indenture were

qualified under the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be deemed to be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 7.11.Appointment of Co-Trustee.

(a) It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section 7.11 are adopted to these ends.

(b)In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

(c)Should any instrument in writing from the Company be required by the separate or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Company does not execute any such instrument within 15 days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Company to execute any such instrument in the Company’s name and stead. In case any separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable or acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

(d)To the extent permitted by law, no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

(e)Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 7.

(f)Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name.

Section 7.12.Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral

Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, accords its own property and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.2(a)(iii).

ARTICLE 8
DEFEASANCE; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 8.1.Company’s Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option and at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.2.Legal Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees and have Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Notes Guarantees released on the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes when such payments are due from the trust fund described in Section 8.8 and as more fully set forth in such Section; (ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and (iv) the provisions of this Indenture relating to Legal Defeasance. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 below with respect to the Notes.

Section 8.3.Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from their respective obligations under any covenant contained in Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10, Section 4.11 and Section 4.12 with respect to the Notes on and after the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that 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, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(a)(3), 6.1(a)(4) and 6.1(a)(5) shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.4.Conditions to Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:

(1)the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date;

(3)in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary exceptions and exclusions, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in

the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4)no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(5)such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6)the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others;

(7)if the Notes are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, the Company must deliver to the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem all of the Notes on the specified Redemption Date under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of such redemption by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; and

(8)the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.5.Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture and the Security Documents shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1)either:

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

Government Obligations, 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 on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(2) no Default or Event of Default (other than resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) will have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit, and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

Section 8.7.Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.8, the Trustee shall hold in trust cash in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited cash or U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

All payments under such Note Guarantee shall be made in U.S. dollars.

(b)The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be as if they were principal debtor and not merely surety, unaffected by, and irrespective of, any validity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto by the Holders or the Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (except payment in full); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification, indulgence or circumstance shall without the written consent of the Subsidiary Guarantors increase the principal amount of a Note or the interest rate thereon or change the currency of payment with respect to any Note, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require that the Trustee pursue or exhaust its legal or equitable remedies against the Company prior to exercising its rights under the Note Guarantee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any right which the Subsidiary Guarantors may have to require the seizure and sale of the assets of the Company to satisfy the outstanding principal of, interest on or any other amount payable under each Note prior to recourse against the Subsidiary Guarantors or their assets), protest or notice with respect to any Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenant that the Note Guarantee shall not be discharged with respect to any Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon or as otherwise provided in this Indenture, including Sections 10.3 and 10.5. If at any time any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as of the date of such rescission, restoration or returns as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such times.

Section 10.2.Subrogation.

(b)The Subsidiary Guarantors agree that they shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Note Guarantee guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Note Guarantees. The Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that, as between them, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Note Guarantees guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.2 for the purposes of their Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Note Guarantees guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.2, such Note Guarantees (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purposes of this Section 10.2, subject to Section 10.1(b) above.

Section 10.3.Limitation of Note Guarantees. Each Note Guarantee is limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by each Subsidiary Guarantor by law or without resulting in its obligations under its Note Guarantee being voidable or unenforceable under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfer, or under similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 10.4.Notation Not Required. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.

Section 10.5.Release of the Note Guarantees. A Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and shall have no further obligation or liability under its Subsidiary Guarantee without the requirement of any further action by the Company, such Subsidiary or the Trustee:

(a)if such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a subsidiary guarantor under the Credit Agreement, and if the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying to that effect as of the date of such Officer’s Certificate; or

(b)upon a Legal Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture that complies with Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4 or Section 8.5, as applicable.

Upon any occurrence giving rise to a release of a Note Guarantee as specified above, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required by the Company in order to evidence or effect such release, discharge and termination in respect of such Note Guarantee. Neither the

Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge.

This Article 10 shall be binding upon the Subsidiary Guarantors and each of their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assigns, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 10.7.No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a

waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.

Section 13.6.Collateral Agent

(a)Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes and the Trustee hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on their behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and consents and agrees to the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Collateral Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 13.6. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Notes Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or otherwise exist, against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, by or through receivers, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel of its selection concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by such counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.

(c)The Collateral Agent shall not (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any

Security Document, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Officer thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or for any failure of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their Affiliates.

(d)The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e)The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, unless a responsible officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as may be requested

in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Article 6 by the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 13.6 and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement).

(f)The Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ advance written notice to the Trustee and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor collateral agent prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation). If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Agent may appoint, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated subject to payment of its fees and expenses. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 13.6 (and Section 7.6 hereof) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(g)U.S. Bank National Association shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Notes Secured Party for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h)By their acceptance of a Note hereunder, the Collateral Agent is authorized and directed by the Holders to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on the Issue Date, (iii) enter into the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, after the Issue Date, (iv) make the

representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, (v) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, (vi) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any; and (vii) release any Collateral in accordance with Section 13.5.

(i)If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Notes Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent, such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if any).

(j)The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon written request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(k)The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, other than pursuant to the written instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents, Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have a duty or obligation to monitor the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

(l)If the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Intercreditor Agreement or Junior

Lien Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the Intercreditor Agreement or, in the case of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in customary market form (as reasonably determined by the Company as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent)) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations so incurred, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(m)No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto.

(n)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the Security Documents or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless it shall have received indemnity in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (n) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

(o)The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral

and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral, as those terms are defined in Section 101(20)(E) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq., as amended.

(p)Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and if satisfactory in form to the Collateral Agent, shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the Issue Date to the extent entry into such Security Documents is otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 13.6(p), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document. Any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents.

(q)The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the interest rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. Method of Payment

The Company shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date for the next Interest Payment Date even if this Note is cancelled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay principal and interest in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Company shall pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on such Holder’s Notes in accordance with such instructions. All other payments on Notes shall be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, with respect to the Global Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC.

The amount of payments in respect of interest on each Interest Payment Date shall correspond to the aggregate principal amount of Notes, as established by the Registrar at the close of business on the relevant Record Date. Payments of principal shall be made upon surrender of the Note to the Paying Agent.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association or one of its affiliates shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries incorporated in the United States may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture

The Company issued this Note under an indenture dated as of September 29, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by express reference to the TIA. Terms defined in

A-6

the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. This Note is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those 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.

This Note is a senior obligation of the Company. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, limitations on Liens and Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

5. Optional Redemption

(a) Prior to the date that is one month prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Notes (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (assuming for this purpose that interest accrued to the Par Call Date is scheduled to be paid on the Par Call Date) from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date of the Notes discounted in either case to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus in either (i) or (ii), any interest accrued but not paid to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). For the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall not include interest accrued as of the Redemption Date.

(b) At any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any interest accrued but not paid to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

6. Notice of Redemption

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date of Notes, the Company shall (i) mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address contained in the Security Register or (ii) otherwise give notice of redemption to each Holder in accordance with the procedures of DTC. If this Note is in a denomination larger than $2,000 of principal amount it may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $2,000. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Notes, the Notes for redemption shall be chosen by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. If this Note is redeemed subsequent to a Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date specified above, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Holder at the close of business on such Record Date. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and

A-7

certain other conditions are satisfied, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption on or after such date.

7. Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently mailed or otherwise given a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Indenture, the Company shall commence, within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, and consummate, by the Payment Date, an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Company shall purchase all Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in such notice. The Offer to Purchase shall state, among other things, the procedures that Holders of the Notes must follow to accept the Offer to Purchase.

8. Denominations

The Notes are in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered, and Notes may be exchanged, as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

9. Mandatory Redemption

The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

10. Unclaimed Money

All moneys paid by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes that remain unclaimed for two years (subject to Section 8.8 of the Indenture) after such principal of, premium or interest has become due and payable may be repaid to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to applicable law, and the Holder of such Note thereafter may look only to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors for payment thereof.

11. Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Indenture if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-8

12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture and compliance with any provision of the Indenture, any Note Guarantee or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

13. Defaults and Remedies

The Notes have the Events of Default as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the Event of Default. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to the Notes. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture with respect to the Notes except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of premium, interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The above description of Events of Default and remedies is qualified by reference, and subject in its entirety, to the more complete description thereof contained in the Indenture.

14. Trustee Dealings with the Company

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-Registrar or co-Paying Agent may do the same with like rights.

15. No Recourse Against Others

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member, manager or partner of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
