THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a)General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $200,000 (the “Minimum Dollar Denomination”) and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b)Rule 144A Global Notes; Global Notes Generally. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of a 144A Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated Participants in the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that

the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c)Regulation S Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Legended Regulation S Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of the designated Participants in the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in a Legended Regulation S Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unlegended Regulation S Global Note pursuant to Section 2.06 and the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of Unlegended Regulation S Global Notes, the Trustee shall cancel such Legended Regulation S Global Note. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(d)Depositary. The Issuer has initially appointed DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

(e)Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” or the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes that are held by Euroclear or Clearstream, respectively, as Participants in DTC.

(f)None of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, a member of, or a Participant or Indirect Participant in, the Depositary or other Person, with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant, Indirect Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Global Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant, Indirect Participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and each Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, Participants, Indirect Participants and any beneficial owners.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile, or electronic signature, which may be delivered by .pdf attachment to an email or by other electronic means.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. Each such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

Additional Notes may have an issue date, issue price, aggregate principal amount, interest accrual date or initial payment date different from those of the Initial Notes or any other Additional Notes. Any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Initial Notes or any other Additional Notes for United States federal income tax purposes shall constitute a separate issue and shall carry a separate “CUSIP” number or “ISIN”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including for purposes of voting with respect to consents, waivers and amendments regarding this Indenture or the Notes and redemptions of and offers to purchase the Notes.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.03 Agents.

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or Paying Agent.

The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Registrar or Paying Agent only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the Notes.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a)Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

(A)The Depositary (1) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or (2) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Issuer thereupon fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 120 Business Days;

(f)[Intentionally Omitted]

(i)Private Placement Legend.

(A)Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) below, each Global Note and each Definitive Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE.

OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 UNDER

SHALL SO REQUEST), (F) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES TO THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER IS ANNEXED TO THE INDENTURE AND CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE) AND IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES OF LESS THAN $200,000 AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES B.V. THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (G) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS NOTE IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE WITHIN [IN THE CASE OF RULE 144A NOTES: ONE YEAR][IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES: 40 DAYS] AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE ISSUER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER WAS THE OWNER OF THIS NOTE (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF THIS NOTE), THE HOLDER MUST DELIVER THE CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE TRUSTEE. IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE IS AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE AND SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES B.V. SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES B.V. MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”

(B)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued pursuant to subparagraph (b)(iv), (c)(iii), (c)(iv), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii) or (e)(iii) of this Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) will not bear the Private Placement Legend.

(ii)Global Note Legend.

Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(A) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (00 XXXXX XXXXXX, XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX) (“DTC”), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS GLOBAL NOTE, AND THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES, ARE AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS DEFINED HEREIN).”

(h)Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or a Definitive Note, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(i)General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i)To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof.

(ii)No service charge will be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

(iii)The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(iv)All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(v)Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be required:

(A)to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day the Issuer gives notice of redemption of the Notes under Section 3.03 hereof or makes a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day notice is given or the Change of Control Offer is made, as applicable;

(B)to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part or subject to purchase in a Change of Control Offer, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or purchased in part; or

(C)in the case of a redemption or a Change of Control Payment Date occurring after a record date but on or before the corresponding interest payment date, register the transfer or exchange of any Note on or after the record date and before the date of redemption or Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable.

(vi)Subject to the rights of Holders as of the relevant record date to receive interest on the corresponding interest payment date and Section 2.12, prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and

interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(vii)The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(viii)Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any tax or securities laws with respect to any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law (including any transfers between or among Participants, Indirect Participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except (i) Notes theretofore cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; (ii) Notes for the payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount has been theretofore deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Issuer) in trust or set aside, segregated and held in trust by the Issuer (if the Issuer shall act as its own Paying Agent) for the Holders of such Notes; provided that, if such Notes are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, written notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture, or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for giving such notice; and (iii) Notes in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered, or which shall have been paid, pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (except with respect to any such Note as to which proof satisfactory to the Trustee is presented that such Note is held by a Person in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer). Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Registrar receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and accrued interest with respect to the outstanding Notes payable on that date 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 will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, request, waiver or consent in the exercise of any discretion, power or authority (whether contained in this Indenture or vested by operation of law) which the Trustee is required, expressly or impliedly, to exercise in or by reference to the interests of the Holders or any of them, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor, or by an Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

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

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will give or cause to be given to Holders in accordance with Section 12.02 a notice prepared by the Issuer that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers and ISINs.

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

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least five days prior to the date notice of redemption is to be delivered to the Holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 3.03 (unless a shorter time is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:

(i)the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(ii)the redemption date;

(iii)the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed;

(iv)the redemption price;

(v)the applicable CUSIP numbers; and

(vi)a statement that the conditions precedent to such redemption have been satisfied.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, Notes will be selected for redemption as follows:

(i)if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, Notes shall be selected in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

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

in each case, subject to the Applicable Procedures of DTC as applicable.

In the event of partial redemption of Notes, (i) in the case of Definitive Notes, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, by the Trustee not less than 10 days nor more than 30 days prior to the redemption date from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, and (ii) in the case of Global Notes, shall be selected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of DTC.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of any Definitive Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Definitive Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes in principal amounts equal to or less than the Minimum Dollar Denomination can be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03 Notice of Optional Redemption.

(a)Notices of optional redemption will be given at least 10 but not more than 30 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed in accordance with Section 12.02, except that redemption notices may be given more than 30 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(b)If any Note is to be optionally redeemed, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state:

(i)the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(ii)the redemption date;

(iii)the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed;

(iv)the redemption price;

(v)applicable CUSIP numbers;

(vi)a statement that the conditions precedent to such redemption have been satisfied.

(c)At the Issuer’s written request delivered at least 15 days prior to the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period, the Trustee will give the notice of optional redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; in such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03.

(d)If any optional redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied on or prior to one Business Day prior to the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price and interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price or accrued interest or any Additional Amounts.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent, money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed following the redemption date.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the

Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(a)Except pursuant to Sections 3.07(b) through 3.07(e) and 4.15(f), the Notes will not be optionally redeemable by the Issuer; provided, however, the Issuer may acquire the Notes by means other than an optional redemption.

(b)At any time and from time to time prior to September 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date).

(c)At any time and from time to time on or after September 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date):


Period Beginning September 1,			Price
2025			102.938%
2026			101.469%
2027 and thereafter			100.000%

(d)At any time and from time to time prior to September 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 105.875%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that (i) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes originally issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption, and (ii) notice of any such redemption is given to the Holders within 90 days of the closing of each such Equity Offering.

(e)The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 30 days’ notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with Section 3.03), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, premium, if any, and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the date of redemption as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuer determines in good faith that the Issuer or any Guarantor is, or on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof (but, in the case of a Guarantor, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Issuer or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), which the

Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid by the use of reasonable measures available to it (including, without limitation, making payment through a Paying Agent located in another jurisdiction), as a result of:

(1)any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations, official guidance or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation which becomes effective on or after the Issue Date or, in the case of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that arises after the Issue Date, the date on which such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under this Indenture (or, in the case of a successor Person, after the date of assumption by the successor person of the obligations thereunder); or

(2)any change in the official application, administration, or interpretation of the laws, treaties, regulations, official guidance or rulings of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including a holding, judgment, or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), on or after the Issue Date or, in the case of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that arises after the Issue Date, the date on which such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under this Indenture (or, in the case of a successor Person, after the date of assumption by the successor person of the obligations thereunder) (each of the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not redeem the Notes under this provision if a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction changes under this Indenture and the Issuer is obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction which was officially announced at the time the latter became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

In the case of a Guarantor that becomes a party to this Indenture after the Issue Date or a successor Person (including a surviving entity), the Change in Tax Law must become effective after the date that such entity (or another Person organized or resident in the same jurisdiction) first makes a payment on the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (a) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or any Guarantor, would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, as the case may be, were then due and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect.

Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07(e), the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee:

(1)an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred (including that such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts

COVENANTS

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes.

(a)The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day prior to the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on the due date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

The Issuer will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.

(b)All payments that the Issuer makes under or with respect to the Notes and that any Guarantor makes under or with respect to any Note Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other similar governmental charges (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) of whatever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of (i) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or otherwise resident for tax purposes or from or through which the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, makes any payment on the Notes or any department, political subdivision or other governmental authority of or in such jurisdiction having the power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless withholding or deduction is then required by law or by the interpretation or administration of law. If the Issuer or any Guarantor is required (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Issuer or Guarantor) to withhold or deduct any amount on

account of Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction (or any department, political subdivision or other governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax), the Issuer or Guarantor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, and, to the extent such Tax is imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by each Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts) will be not less than the amount that would have been received by the Holder or beneficial owner if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.

(i) Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall, however, pay Additional Amounts to a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes in respect or on account of:

(A)any Taxes that would not have been imposed or levied but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant Holder is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, as a result of being resident for Tax purposes, or being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), other than the mere receipt or holding of Notes or by reason of the receipt of payments thereunder or the exercise or enforcement of rights under the Notes, this Indenture or any Note Guarantee;

(B)any Taxes that are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or Beneficial Owner, following the Issuer’s written request addressed to the Holder (and made at a time that would enable the Holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with that request) to comply with any certification, identification, tax clearance or similar requirements, whether required or imposed by statute, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction);

(C)any estate, inheritance, gift, excise, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

(D)any Tax which is payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to the Notes or Note Guarantees;

(E)any Tax imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Issuer or a Guarantor to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that Taxes

would not have been imposed on such payment had the beneficiary, partner or other beneficial owner directly held the Note;

(F)any Tax imposed, withheld or levied pursuant to the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021) (a tax which applies to interest payments made or deemed to be made to certain affiliated entities all within the meaning of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021);

(G)any Tax that is imposed or levied by reason of the presentation (where presentation is required in order to receive payment) of the Notes for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Beneficial Owner or Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;

(H)any Taxes imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 (inclusive) of the Code (or any amended or successor version of such sections that is substantially comparable), including any current or future Treasury regulations or other official interpretations or guidance thereunder or any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the foregoing, and any rules or practices adopted pursuant to any such intergovernmental agreement, and any provisions of any treaty or convention among governmental authorities implementing such sections of the Code; or

(I)any combination of the items above.

(ii)The Issuer and each Guarantor shall (A) make such Tax withholding or deduction as is required by applicable law to be made in respect of any payment by it under or with respect to the Notes and (B) remit the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law.

(iii)At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, if the Issuer and any Guarantor determines that it shall be obligated to withhold or deduct Taxes from such payment for which it will be required to pay Additional Amounts (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information (other than the identities of Holders and Beneficial Owners) necessary to enable the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date.

(iv)The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee and each relevant Holder within a reasonable period of time certified copies of tax receipts

evidencing the payment by the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, of any Taxes imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that were withheld or deducted from a payment made by the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, under or with respect to the Notes. If, notwithstanding the reasonable best efforts of the Issuer or such Guarantor to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, then the Issuer or such Guarantor shall provide the Trustee and the relevant Holders with other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the relevant Holders of such payment by the Issuer or such Guarantor.

(v)The Issuer and each Guarantor shall pay and indemnify the Holders and the Trustee (if applicable) for (A) any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary, excise or property taxes or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of the execution, issue, delivery or registration of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or this Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to hereunder and any such taxes, charges, duties or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction as a result of, or in connection with, the enforcement of the Notes, such Note Guarantee or this Indenture or any such other document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default, and (B) any stamp, court, or documentary taxes (or similar charges or levies) imposed with respect to the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes or such Note Guarantee. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall, however, pay such amounts that are imposed (i) on or result from a sale or other transfer or disposition by a Holder or Beneficial Owner (other than the initial resale of the Notes by the initial purchasers) or (ii) to the extent that such amounts become payable upon a voluntary registration made by the Holders of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or this Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to thereunder, if such registration is not necessary to enforce the rights of such Holder under the Notes, any Note Guarantee or this Indenture or any other document or instrument referred thereunder.

(vi)This Section 4.01(b) shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor is organized, incorporated or otherwise resident for tax purposes and any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person makes any payment on the Notes (or any Note Guarantee) or any political subdivision thereof or therein.

(c)In order to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) related to this Indenture in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”) that a foreign financial institution, issuer, trustee, paying agent or other party is or has agreed to be subject to, the Issuer agrees (i) to provide to the Trustee and each Paying Agent sufficient information about the parties or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee and each Paying Agent can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law, (ii) that the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall not have any liability, and (iii) to hold harmless the Trustee and each Paying Agent for any

losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with Applicable Law. The terms of this Section 4.01(c) shall survive the termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served (other than the type contemplated by Section 12.09). The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuer at such time has given notice of redemption under Section 3.07(b), Section 3.07(c) or Section 3.07(e) with respect to all outstanding Notes, the Issuer will give notice to the Trustee and each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such conflict.

(b)On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered.

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

(i)accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

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

(d)The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer by, on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(e)The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (ii) a valid notice of redemption for all of the Notes has been given, or will be given contemporaneously with the Change of Control, pursuant to Section 3.07(b), Section 3.07(c) or Section 3.07(e) unless and until such notice has been validly revoked (in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 3.07(b) or Section 3.07(c)) or

there is a default in the payment of the applicable redemption price. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control or conditional upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(f)In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above) purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Issuer shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date relating to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such Change of Control Payment Date in accordance with Article 3 at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment, plus to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

Section 4.16 Payments for Consent.

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

Section 4.17 Additional Guarantees.

(a)On or after the Issue Date, the Issuer shall cause each Subsidiary that is required to Guarantee the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes pursuant to Section 4.09 to become a Guarantor, within 10 Business Days of the creation, assumption, incurrence or Guarantee of the applicable Subsidiary Debt and the Issuer shall cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee within such 10 Business Day period (x) a supplemental indenture in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and (y) a Notation of Guarantee in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, pursuant to which such Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any and interest on the Notes and all other obligations under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture.

(b)Each Note Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be Guaranteed by that Subsidiary without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(c)Each Note Guarantee shall be automatically released in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture described under Article 11.

Section 4.18 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 4.19 Suspension of Guarantees Upon Change in Ratings.

(a)If on any date following the Issue Date (1) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by either of the Rating Agencies; and (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, beginning on such date (the “Suspension Date”) and subject to the provisions of Section 4.19(b), the Note Guarantees shall be deemed released and the Issuer’s obligation under Section 4.17 shall be suspended (collectively, the “Suspended Provisions”).

(b)During any Suspension Period, any Subsidiary Debt incurred prior to or outstanding as of the Suspension Date shall be deemed to have been incurred in compliance with Section 4.09.

(c)In the event that the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Suspended Provisions will be reinstituted as of and from the date on which the Notes are no longer rated Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (any such date, a “Reversion Date”). The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Provisions may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Provisions during the Suspension Period.

(d)The Issuer and its Subsidiaries may honor any contractual commitments to take actions following a Reversion Date without causing a Default or Event of Default; provided that such contractual commitments were entered into during the Suspension Period and not in contemplation of a reversion of the Suspended Provisions.

(e)The Issuer shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee indicating the commencement of any Suspension Period or the occurrence of any Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of the commencement of the Suspension Period or the occurrence of any Reversion Date.

Section 4.20 Compliance with Laws.

The Issuer shall comply, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of the United States, all states and municipalities thereof, and of any governmental department, commission, board, regulatory authority, bureau, agency and instrumentality of the foregoing, in respect of the conduct of their respective businesses and the ownership of their respective properties, except, in any such case, to the extent the failure to so comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.21 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

The Issuer and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the Issuer and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) 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.

(ii)the Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture;

(iii)immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(iv)the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that such transaction complies with this Indenture and, if applicable, all conditions

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that, for all purposes under this Indenture, a sale, transfer or disposition of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries that, in the aggregate accounted for no more than two-thirds of the Issuer’s aggregate EBITDA, during the four most recent consecutive fiscal quarters prior to the date of such sale, transfer or disposition for which financial statements are available (as specified in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee), shall be deemed not to be a sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

(d) Upon the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture referred to in Section 5.01(a)(ii) or the last sentence of Section 5.01(a), as applicable, the predecessor company shall be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the Successor Company (in the case of Section 5.01(a)(ii)) or the surviving entity (in the case of the last sentence of Section 5.01(a)), as applicable, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture and the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, but, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets to a Successor Company, the predecessor shall not be so released.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(vii) the failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50,000,000, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after the applicable judgment becomes final, and, with respect to any such judgments covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; or

(viii) the Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together as of the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Issuer, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms hereof) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Note Guarantee, other than by reason of the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(b)If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action.

(c)Any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such

report required by Section 4.03 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

(a)If an Event of Default specified in clause (v) or (vi) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Issuer, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b)If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (v) or (vi) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes under this Indenture may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on such Notes to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(c)Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders of the Notes (other than a Regulated Bank) (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Xxxxxx’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder of the Notes is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to the acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe that a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to the acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such

Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders of the Notes that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration shall be voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that this shall not invalidate any indemnity or security provided by the Directing Holders to the trustee, which obligations shall continue to survive.

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of bankruptcy or similar proceedings shall not require compliance with this Section 6.02(c). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.02(c) shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction, Position Representation, Verification Covenant, Officers’ Certificate or other document delivered to it pursuant to this Section 6.02(c), shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officers’ Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Regulated Banks, Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise and shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action or staying any remedy. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction or to determine whether any Holder has delivered a Position Representation or that such Position Representation conforms with this Indenture or any other agreement or whether or not any Holder is a Regulated Bank.

By their acquisition of the Notes, each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes consents to the delivery of its Position Representation by the Trustee to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.02(c). By their acquisition of the Notes, each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee will not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with this Section 6.02(c), or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

The Issuer hereby waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee, and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee will not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with this Section 6.02(c), or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will treat all Holders equally with respect to their rights under this Section 6.02(c). In connection with the requisite percentages required under this Section 6.02(c), the Trustee shall also treat all outstanding Notes equally irrespective of any Position Representation in determining whether the requisite percentage has been obtained with respect to the initial delivery of the Noteholder Direction.

(d)At any time after a declaration of acceleration of the unpaid principal, premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest has occurred with respect to the Notes as described in Section 6.02(a) or (b), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee:

(i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or accrued interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(iv) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel), disbursements and advances; and

(v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default under this Indenture of the type described in clause (v) and (vi) of Section 6.01(a), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

(a) If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon a Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

(c) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default, other than as a result of the acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose: (x) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders of such Indebtedness or Guarantee have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default is no longer continuing, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes, as described above, be automatically annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

(d) Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes, except as provided in this Indenture. The Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time then outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any Default with respect to such Notes and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Trustee, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

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

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer and provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 45 days after receipt of the request and the offer and the provision of indemnity; and

(v) during such 45-day period the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction in accordance with Section 6.05 which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, 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 the Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If a Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to

the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to each of the Trustee and the Agents any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Agents under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

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

(ii)in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, with respect to certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished to it hereunder.

(f)The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g)In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

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

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

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

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any related offering material or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(h), the Trustee will provide to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee has notice thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06 Instructions Using Electronic Means.

The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”), given by the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, pursuant to this Indenture and any related financing documents and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that as a condition to so accepting and acting upon such Instructions, the Trustee may require that the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers or other representatives with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, elect to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Issuer and the Guarantors understand and agree that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Issuer, the Guarantors and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding that such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use by them of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable; and (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to

it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a)The Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as agreed between the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable and documented disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable and documented compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b)The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee and hold each of them harmless for, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by it (i) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including the costs and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel) of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or (ii) arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and/or the exercise of its rights, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is attributable to its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, will pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer and any Guarantor shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified party’s defense and, in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such party in connection with such defense. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive payment of the Notes, resignation or removal of the Trustee or any Agent, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or other termination of this Indenture.

(d)To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e)When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(v) or (vi) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

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

(b)The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

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

(ii)the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(iii)a custodian, receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv)the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c)If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

(d)If a successor Xxxxxxx does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

(f)A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been

paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Xxxxxx, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including any corporate trust business contemplated by this Indenture) to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer.

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

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been released from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees

and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(i)the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes issued hereunder to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

(ii)the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes issued hereunder concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment;

(iii)the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in connection therewith; and

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

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.08, 4.09, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 5.01(a)(iii) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees, will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, and clauses (iii), (iv), (v) (with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer), (vi) (with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer), (vii) and (viii) of Section 6.01(a) will not constitute Events of Default.

(vi)the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in clause (i) was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or with the

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

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

Section 8.06 Repayment to the Issuer.

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

Subject to Section 6.04, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive any existing default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes) without notice to any other Holders (except a default in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected).

(b)Notwithstanding Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

(i)reduce the principal amount of Notes issued hereunder whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii)reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note issued hereunder or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the outstanding Notes

issued hereunder (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under Section 4.15, except as set forth in clause (x) below);

(iii)reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note issued hereunder;

(iv)waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes issued hereunder (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes issued hereunder by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued hereunder with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(v)make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(vi)make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Notes;

(vii)waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note issued hereunder (other than a payment required by Section 4.15, except as set forth in clause (x) below);

(viii)make any change in the ranking or priority of any Note issued hereunder that would adversely affect the Holders;

(ix)modify the Note Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders;

(x)amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Issuer to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in respect of a Change of Control that has occurred; or

(xi)make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

(c)It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(d)After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall give to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.03 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

(a)Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of his Note by notice to the Trustee or the Issuer received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

(b)The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable.

(c)After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Issuer’s expense. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9; provided, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution

of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms. Such Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate shall be at the expense of the Issuer.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

(a)Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, Guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of, this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and defaulted interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest and defaulted interest, if any, on the Notes (pursuant to Section 2.12), if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so Guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of collection.

(b)Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c)If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated with full force and effect.

(d)Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders or the Trustee in respect of any obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations Guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of its Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations Guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of its Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders or the Trustee under any Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

(a)Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute (i) a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee or (ii) an unlawful distribution under any applicable state or foreign law prohibiting distributions by an insolvent entity to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or such an unlawful distribution.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Note Guarantee granted by any Guarantor which is incorporated in or existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (each, a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) under this Section 10.02 that provides for the Guarantee of the obligations of (i) the Issuer and/or (ii) any Guarantor which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor, shall be limited at any time to an aggregate amount not exceeding the higher of:

(i)90% of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s capitaux propres and subordinated debt (all as referred to in annex I to the Grand Ducal Regulation dated 18 December 2015 setting out the form and content of the presentation of the balance sheet and profit and loss account, enforcing the law of 19 December 2002 on the register of commerce and companies and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended (“Annex I”) ) as reflected in its last annual accounts (approved by a shareholders’ meeting) available on the date on which a demand is made under such Luxembourg Guarantor’s Note Guarantee; and

(ii)90% of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s capitaux propres and subordinated debt (all as referred to in Annex I) as reflected in its last annual accounts (approved by a shareholders’ meeting) available on the date of this Indenture.

The above limitation shall not apply to any proceeds of the offering of the Notes on-lent, or otherwise made available, to such Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

(a)To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee (a “Notation of Guarantee”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor by manual, electronic or facsimile signature on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

(b)Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a Notation of Guarantee.

(c)If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

(d)The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

(e)If required by Section 4.17, the Issuer shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Notations of Guarantee in accordance with Section 4.17 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor without limitation, or with, into or to any other Persons upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 5.

Section 10.05 Releases.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released in the event that:

(a)there is a sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of (i) all of the Capital Stock (or any sale, disposition or other transfer of Capital Stock (including through merger or consolidation) following which the applicable Guarantor is

no longer a Subsidiary of the Issuer), or (ii) all or substantially all the assets, of the applicable Guarantor;

(b)in the case of any Subsidiary of the Issuer, which after the Issue Date is required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.17, the release or discharge of the Guarantee by such entity of all Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or the repayment of all the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, which resulted in an obligation to provide a Note Guarantee;

(c)if the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option as described under Article 8 or if its obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as described under Article 11; or

(d)such Guarantor is also a guarantor or borrower under the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and, at the time of release of its Note Guarantee, (x) has been released from its Guarantee of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted by it in connection with the Credit Agreement, (y) is not an obligor under any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (3), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11) of Section 4.09(b) and (z) does not Guarantee any Indebtedness in excess of $50,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) at such time outstanding of the Issuer or any of the other Guarantors.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

(i)Either:

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

(B)all the Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise within one year and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent

public accountants delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(ii)in the case of subclause (i)(B) above, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from or arising in connection with borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound;

(iii)the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(iv)the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes issued hereunder at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

(b)In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

(c)Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (i) of Section 11.01(a), the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive such satisfaction and discharge. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the

Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

5.875% Senior Notes due 2030

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Sensata Technologies B.V. (the “Issuer”), a private company with limited liability incorporated under Dutch law, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.875% per annum from August 29, 20222 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on September 1 and March 1 of each year (subject to the second following sentence), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 29, 20223, until the principal hereof is due. The first Interest Payment Date shall be March 1, 20234. The Issuer will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 15 or August 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day), even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Issuer will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on Definitive Notes at the office of the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the Trustee, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under the Indenture dated as of August 29, 2022 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all the terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent

A-5

any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer. This Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture5. The Notes include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur Indebtedness (other than the Issuer), create or incur Liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.

To Guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally Guaranteed the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes on an unsecured senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. Except pursuant to Sections 3.07(b) through Section 3.07(e) and 4.15(f) of the Indenture, the Notes will not be optionally redeemable by the Issuer; provided, however, the Issuer may acquire the Notes by means other than an optional redemption.

(a) At any time and from time to time prior to September 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the record date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date).

(b) At any time and from time to time on or after September 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the record date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date):


Period Beginning September 1,			Price
2025			102.938%
2026			101.469%
2027 and thereafter			100.000%

(c) At any time and from time to time prior to September 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional

________________________________

5 To be used for Initial Notes; to be revised to refer to “one of the Additional Notes” in the case of any Additional Notes

A-6

Notes, if any) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 105.875%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that (i) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes originally issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption, and (ii) notice of any such redemption is given to the Holders within 90 days of the closing of each such Equity Offering.

(d) The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 30 days’ notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Indenture), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, premium, if any, and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the date of redemption as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuer determines in good faith that the Issuer or any Guarantor is, or on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof (but, in the case of a Guarantor, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Issuer or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), which the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid by the use of reasonable measures available to it (including, without limitation, making payment through a Paying Agent located in another jurisdiction), as a result of:

(1) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations, official guidance or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation which becomes effective on or after the Issue Date or, in the case of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that arises after the Issue Date, the date on which such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under the Indenture (or, in the case of a successor Person, after the date of assumption by the successor person of the obligations thereunder); or

(2) any change in the official application, administration, or interpretation of the laws, treaties, regulations, official guidance or rulings of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including a holding, judgment, or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), on or after the Issue Date or, in the case of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that arises after the Issue Date, the date on which such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under the Indenture (or, in the case of a successor Person, after the date of assumption by the successor person of the obligations thereunder).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not redeem the Notes under this provision if a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction changes and the Issuer is obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction which was officially announced at the time the latter became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

A-7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (i) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or any Guarantor, would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, as the case may be, were then due and (ii) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect.

(e) Notices of optional redemption will be given at least 10 but not more than 30 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed in accordance with Section 12.02 of the Indenture, except that redemption notices may be given more than 30 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer at such time has given notice of redemption with respect to all outstanding Notes, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in a minimum principal amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Xxxxxx’s Notes pursuant to a change of control offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuer at such time has given notice of redemption with respect to all outstanding Notes, the Issuer will give notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given.

(8) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $200,000 (the “Minimum Dollar Denomination”) 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 and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part or subject to purchase in a Change of Control Offer, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or purchased in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the day the Issuer gives notice of redemption of the Notes or makes a Change of Control Offer and ending at the close of business on the day notice of redemption is given or the Change of Control Offer is made.

(9) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

A-8

(10) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event or Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class.

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

(iii) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company or a successor company of a Guarantor, as applicable, of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture;

(iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

(v) to secure the Notes;

(vi) to add a Note Guarantee;

(vii) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” included in the Offering Memorandum relating to the Notes;

(viii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Indenture; or

(ix) to release a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee; provided that such release is in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

(11) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without

further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and the remedial action the Issuer proposes to take in connection therewith.

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

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

(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or member of the Issuer, the Parent, any other direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the 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 by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

(15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(16) ABBREVIATIONS.

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

A-10

(18) GOVERNING LAW. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.

(19) JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors has consented to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or any U.S. federal court, in each case, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, United States, and any appellate court from any thereof in any action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Note, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors has appointed C T Corporation located at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 as its authorized agent upon which service of process may be served in any action or proceeding brought in any court of the State of New York or any U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in connection with the Indenture, this Note or the Note Guarantees.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THE INDENTURE HAS IRREVOCABLY WAIVED ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

(20) WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES. To the extent that the Issuer or any Guarantor may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets immunity from a suit, execution, attachment, whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise, or other legal process in connection with and as set out in the Indenture, this Note or the Note Guarantees and to the extent that in any jurisdiction there may be immunity attributed to the Issuer or the Guarantors or the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s assets, whether or not claimed, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, has irrevocably agreed for the benefit of the Holders not to claim, and irrevocably waived, the immunity to the full extent permitted by law.

(21) CURRENCY RATE INDEMNITY. The U.S. dollar is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer or any Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes, including damages. Any amount with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantee received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars, whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or any Guarantor or otherwise by any Holder or by the Trustee, in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or any Guarantor will only constitute a discharge to the Issuer or any Guarantor to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount, which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so).

The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
