In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a

business day, then payment of interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay).

SECTION 2.6 Redemption.

(b) Notice of any redemption shall be given at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.

(e) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 2.7, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and

shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.7 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.7 relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

(d) Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.2, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of, or any part thereof, principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise.

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such

(9) any Subsidiary Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Subsidiary Guarantee) or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee;

then, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7)) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by securityholders) may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding, or, if an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(7) shall have occurred and be continuing, unless the principal of all the Notes shall have already become due and payable, the principal of all the Notes shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Note holder, become immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.01, a default under Sections 6.01(4) or (5) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Supplemental Indenture or otherwise.

The Company shall pay interest on such principal amount at the rate of 5.375% per annum, until payment of such principal amount has been made or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on November 15, 2017, and at the stated maturity or earlier redemption or repayment (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date, then this Note shall bear interest from the next preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid on this Note, from May 23, 2017 (the “Original Issue Date”).

Interest on this Note shall accrue from the Original Issue Date until the principal amount is paid or duly provided for. Interest (including payments for partial periods) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest payable on this Note on any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on this Note that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the holders of this Note as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to this Note and the Indenture. In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such payments to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points.

In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will state that the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions have not been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

SECTION 4. Defeasance. The provisions of Article 8 of the First Supplemental Indenture and Article 14 of the Indenture apply to this Note.

SECTION 5. Events of Default. If an Event of Default (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) shall occur with respect to this Note, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable, or may become automatically due and payable without any action by the holder of this Note or the Trustee, in each case in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

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

The indebtedness represented by this Subsidiary Guarantee is unsecured and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

This Subsidiary Guarantee is subject to release as and to the extent set forth in Sections 3.3, 8.1, and 8.2 of the First Supplemental Indenture. Each Holder of a Note, by accepting the same agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions. This Subsidiary Guarantee will be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined are used herein as so defined in the Indenture.
