New Notes Indenture and New Notes
General
On November 1, 2023 (the “Issue Date”), Arrow Bidco,
LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Target Hospitality Corp. (the “Company”),
the guarantors from time to time party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and as collateral agent (in such capacity,
the “New Notes Trustee”), entered into an indenture (the “New Notes Indenture”) governing the Issuer’s
10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “New Notes”). As previously announced, on the Issue Date, approximately $181.4
million aggregate principal amount of the New Notes were issued as consideration for the exchange of the Issuer’s existing 9.50%
Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Existing Notes”) pursuant to the previously announced exchange offer (the “Exchange
Offer”). Following this issuance and related transactions, approximately $28.1 million aggregate principal amount of Existing
Notes remains outstanding.
The New Notes were issued pursuant to private placement exemptions
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The New Notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement
or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities
Act or any state securities laws.
The Issuer’s obligations under the New Notes and the New Notes
Indenture are jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the same guarantors as the
Existing Notes (the “Guarantors”). Target Hospitality is not an issuer or a guarantor of the New Notes. The New Notes
and the related guarantees are secured on the same senior secured basis as the Existing Notes by a second-priority lien on substantially
all, present and hereinafter acquired, assets of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors, subject to certain customary exemptions and permitted
liens.
Maturity and Interest Payments
The New Notes will mature on June 15, 2025; provided that if
any Existing Notes remain outstanding on March 15, 2024, then the New Notes will mature on March 15, 2024 at a make-whole price. Interest
on the New Notes will accrue at 10.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning March 15,
2024.
Redemption
Prior to September 15, 2024, the New Notes will be redeemable at the
Issuer’s option at a make-whole price. On and after September 15, 2024, the New Notes will be redeemable at the Issuer’s option
during the 6-month period beginning on the dates set forth below at the redemption prices listed below:
| Date | |
Redemption Price | |
| September 15, 2024 | |
| 102.000 | % |
| March 15, 2025 and thereafter | |
| 101.000 | % |
Certain Covenants
The New Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the Issuer’s
and the its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain types of stock,
(ii) create or incur certain liens, (iii) make certain payments, including dividends or other distributions, (iv) prepay or redeem junior
debt, (v) make certain investments or acquisitions, including participating in joint ventures, (vi) engage in certain transactions with
affiliates and (vii) sell assets, consolidate or merge with or into other companies. These covenants are subject to a number of important
limitations and exceptions. In addition, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Issuer must offer to repurchase
the New Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase
date. The New Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal,
premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all of the then outstanding New Notes to be due and payable immediately.
A copy of the New Notes Indenture is included as Exhibit 4.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Supplemental Indenture
On
November 1, 2023, the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Existing
Notes Trustee”), entered into a first supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture,
dated as of March 15, 2019 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Existing Notes Indenture”), by and
among the Issuer, the guarantors from time to time party thereto and the Existing Notes Trustee, governing the Existing Notes. The Supplemental
Indenture amended the Existing Notes Indenture and the Existing Notes to effectuate certain proposed amendments with respect to the Existing
Notes pursuant to the previously announced solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”), which amendments
included eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminating certain events of default, modifying covenants regarding
mergers and consolidations and modifying or eliminating certain other provisions, including certain provisions relating to future guarantors
and defeasance, contained in the Existing Notes Indenture and the Existing Notes. In addition, all of the collateral securing the Existing
Notes was released pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture.
A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is included as Exhibit 4.2 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On October 31, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
of the Company adopted and approved, effective immediately, the third amended and restated bylaws of the Company (as amended and restated,
the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The Amended and Restated Bylaws, among other things:
| · | revise procedures and advance notice and disclosure requirements for the nomination of directors and the submission of proposals for
consideration at meetings of the stockholders of the Company; |
| · | adopt gender neutral terms when referring to particular positions, offices or title holders, including the adoption of the title chair
in place of chairman; and |
| · | make certain administrative, modernizing, clarifying and conforming changes, including making updates to reflect recent amendments

to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which is attached as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
OF
TARGET HOSPITALITY CORP.
October 31, 2023
ARTICLE 1
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.1 Place
of Meetings. Meetings of stockholders of Target Hospitality Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”),
shall be held at the place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
(the “Board of Directors”) from time to time; provided, that the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion,
determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication
as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).
Section 1.2 Annual
Meetings. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, as fixed by the Board of Directors for
the purpose of electing directors and transacting any other business as may properly come before such meetings. The Corporation may postpone,
reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.
Section 1.3 Special
Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time
only by the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, to be held at such
place, if any, date and time as shall be designated in the notice or waiver of notice thereof. Only business within the purposes described
in the Corporation’s notice of meeting required by Section 1.4 may be conducted at the special meetings. The
ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting is specifically denied. The Corporation may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special
meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.
Section 1.4 Notice
of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall
be given that shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders
and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (as the
same may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the notice
of any meeting shall be given no fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote
at such meeting.
Section 1.5 Adjournments.
Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice
need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken or are provided in any other manner permitted by the DGCL. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that
might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote
at the meeting.
Section 1.6 Quorum.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders, the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes that could be cast by the holders of all outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the stockholders present
at any duly convened meeting may continue to do business until adjournment notwithstanding any withdrawal from the meeting of holders
of shares counted in determining the existence of a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chair of the meeting or the stockholders so
present, by majority vote, may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.5 of these
Bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of the Corporation’s capital stock shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for
quorum purposes if such shares belong to (i) the Corporation, (ii) another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled
to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or (iii) any other
entity, if a majority of the voting power of such other entity is otherwise controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it
in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 1.7 Organization.
Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chair of the Board of Directors, if any, or in his or her absence by the Lead Director
of the Board of the Directors, if any, or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in his or her absence by a chair designated
by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation, by a chair chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary
of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chair of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 1.8 Voting;
Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders
shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder that has voting power upon the matter in question. Each
stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy,
but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly
executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient
in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting
in person, by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later
date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes entitled
to be cast by the stockholders who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of
directors. All other elections and questions presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall, unless a different
or minimum vote is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable
to the Corporation, or any law or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities in which case such different or minimum vote
shall be the applicable vote on the matter, shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled
to be cast by the stockholders who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.
Section 1.9 Stockholder
Action by Consent. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by the DGCL to be taken at any
annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders,
may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by
the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in the manner
required by the DGCL, provided, however, that an action by consent to elect directors, unless such action is unanimous, may be in lieu
of the holding of an annual meeting only if all the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the
effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.
No consent shall be effective
to take the corporate action referred to in such consent unless consents signed by the requisite number of stockholders required to take
the action are delivered to the corporation within 60 days of the first date on which a consent is delivered to the corporation in the
manner required by the DGCL.
If an action by consent under
this Section 1.9 has been taken by stockholders by less than unanimous consent, prompt notice of the taking of the action by consent
shall be given to those stockholders as of the record date for the action by consent who have not consented and who would have been entitled
to notice of the meeting if the action had been taken at a meeting and the record date for the meeting were the record for action by consent.
Section 1.10 Record
Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders
or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required
by law, not be more than 60 nor fewer than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date
shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines,
at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.
If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote
at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice
is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of
record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting,
and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier
date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote.
In order that the Corporation
may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled
to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board
of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted,
and which record date shall not be more than 60 days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining
stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating
thereto.
Unless otherwise restricted
by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate
action without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution
fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled
to express consent to corporate action without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board
of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the
action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action
by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
Section 1.11 List
of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth day before every meeting of stockholders,
a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders
entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the
10th day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares
registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic
contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting
for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that
the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business
hours, at the Corporation’s principal place of business. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available
on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders
of the Corporation.
Section 1.12 Notice
of Stockholder Business; Nominations.
| (a) | Annual Meetings of Stockholders. Nominations of one or more individuals to the Board of Directors
(each, a “Nomination,” and more than one, “Nominations”) and the proposal of business other than
Nominations (“Business”) to be considered by the stockholders of the Corporation may be made at an annual meeting of
stockholders only (1) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting or any supplement thereto (provided, however,
that reference in the Corporation’s notice of meeting to the election of directors or to the election of members of the Board of
Directors shall not include or be deemed to include nominations by stockholders), (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors
or any duly authorized committee thereof or (3) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record of the Corporation
at the time the notice provided for in this Section 1.12 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is
entitled to vote at the meeting, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.12. Subclause
(3) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit business (other than matters properly brought
under Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
and indicated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders. |
| (b) | Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such Business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations
may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting
(1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (2) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors
shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided
for in this Section 1.12 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting
and upon such election, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.12. In the event the
Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such
stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may make Nominations of one or more individuals (as the case may be) for election
to such positions as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 1.12(c)(1) shall
be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation in accordance with Section 1.12(c)(1)(E). |
| (c) | Stockholder Nominations and Business. For Nominations and Business to be properly brought before
an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 1.12(a)(3), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof
in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation in compliance with this Section 1.12, and any such proposed Business must
constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. For Nominations to be properly brought before a special meeting by a stockholder pursuant
to Section 1.12(b)(2), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation
in compliance with this Section 1.12. |
| (1) | Stockholder Nominations. |
(A) Only
individuals subject to a Nomination made in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 shall
be eligible for election at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, and any individuals subject to a Nomination
not made in compliance with this Section 1.12 shall not be considered nor acted upon at such meeting of stockholders.
(B) For
Nominations to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation by a stockholder pursuant to Section 1.12(a)(3) or Section 1.12(b)(2),
respectively, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 1.12. To be timely, the stockholder’s notice must be delivered
to the Secretary of the Corporation as provided in Section 1.12(c)(1)(C) or Section 1.12(c)(1)(D),
in the case of an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, and Section 1.12(c)(1)(E), in the case of a special
meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, respectively.
(C) In
the case of an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, to be timely, any Nomination made pursuant to Section 1.12(a)(3) shall
be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business
on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s
annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before
or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business
on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual
meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation).
In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation commence
a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The number of nominees
a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial
owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall
not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting.
(D) Notwithstanding Section 1.12(c)(1)(C),
in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation
is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least 100
days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, the stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.12 shall
also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary
of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following
the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(E) In
the case of a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, to be timely, any Nomination made pursuant to Section 1.12(b)(2) shall
be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business
on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special
meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of such special meeting and of the nominees
proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such special meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment
or postponement of a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the
giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the special
meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate
for election at the special meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such
annual meeting.
(F) To
be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice of Nomination(s) pursuant to Section 1.12(a)(3) or Section 1.12(b)(2) shall
set forth: (i) as to any Nomination to be made by such stockholder, (a) all information relating to the individual subject to
such Nomination that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14 under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, without regard to the application of the Exchange Act to either the Nomination or the Corporation, (b) such individual’s
written consent to being named in the Corporation’s proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, (c) a

a Nomination or Business proposed to be brought before such meeting was made or proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this Section 1.12, and (b) if any proposed Nomination or Business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 1.12,
to declare that such Nomination or Business shall be disregarded or that such proposed Nomination or Business shall not be considered
or transacted notwithstanding that such Nomination or Business is included in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting
or other proxy materials for any annual meeting (or any supplement thereto) and notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may
have been received by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, if a stockholder
(or a qualified representative of such stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation
to present a Nomination or Business, such Nomination or Business shall be disregarded and such Nomination or Business shall not be considered
or transacted, notwithstanding that such Nomination or Business is included in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting
or other proxy materials for any annual meeting (or any supplement thereto) and notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may
have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.12, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder,
a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such
stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders
and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission,
at the meeting of stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bylaws, unless otherwise required by law, if any stockholder,
beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the
Exchange Act with respect to any proposed nominee and (ii) subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19
promulgated under the Exchange Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such stockholder
has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence),
then the Nomination of each such proposed nominee shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that the nominee is included as a nominee in the
Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials for any annual meeting (or any supplement thereto) and
notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such proposed nominees may have been received by the Corporation (which
proxies and votes shall be disregarded). If any stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated Person provides notice pursuant
to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five
(5) business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it or such beneficial owner or Stockholder Associated
Person has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
(2) For
purposes of this Section 1.12, “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported
by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(3) Nothing
in this Section 1.12 shall be deemed to affect (a) the rights or obligations, if any, of stockholders of the
Corporation to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor
thereto) under the Exchange Act or (b) the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation to
elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
(4) A
stockholder providing notice of a Nomination or Business to be brought before a meeting (given pursuant to paragraph a of this Section 1.12
or paragraph (b) of this Section 1.12, as applicable) shall promptly update and supplement such notice from time to time to
the extent necessary so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to clauses (c)(1)(F)(i), (ii),
(iv)(a)-(b), (d)-(h) (with respect Nominations) and (c)(2)(C)(i), (ii), (iv)(a)-(b), (d)-(h) (with respect to Business) of this
Section 1.12 shall be true and correct (x) as of the record date for notice and voting at the meeting and (y) as of the
date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Any such update and supplement shall be
delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (i) in the case of
any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date for notice of the meeting, not later than five (5) days after
the later of such record date and the public announcement of such record date and (ii) in the case of any update or supplement required
to be made as of fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting or adjournment or postponement thereof, not later than ten (10) days prior
to the date for the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement
as set forth in this Section 1.12(c)(d)(4) or any other section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s
rights with respect to any deficiencies in any stockholder's notice, including, without limitation, any representation required herein,
extend any applicable deadlines under these Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted a stockholder's
notice under these Bylaws to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters,
business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of stockholders.
Section 1.13 Conduct

a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chair of the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and
regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and

or comments by participants. The chair at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate
to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly
brought before the meeting and if such chair should so determine, such chair shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business
not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors
or the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary
procedure.

of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes
shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, and meeting contingencies.
Section 5.4 Transfer
of Shares.
| (a) | Transfers of shares shall be made upon the books of the Corporation (i) only by the holder of record
thereof, or by a duly authorized agent, transferee or legal representative and (ii) in the case of certificated shares, upon the
surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession,
assignment, or authority to transfer. Shares that are not represented by a certificate shall be transferred in accordance with applicable
law. Subject to applicable law and the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may prescribe
such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, transfer and registration of shares of the
Corporation. |
| (b) | The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim to, or interest
in, such share or shares of stock on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except
as otherwise expressly provided by law. |
Section 5.5 Transfer
Agent; Registrar. The Board of Directors may appoint a transfer agent and one or more co-transfer agents and registrar and one or
more co-registrars and may make, or authorize any such agent to make, all such rules and regulations deemed expedient concerning
the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation.
ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES
Section 6.1 Right
to Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently
exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of
the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation
or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee,
member, trustee, partner, manager, representative or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the
Corporation (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis in such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as director,
officer, employee, member, trustee, partner, manager, representative or agent or in any other capacity while serving as such, against
all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement)
incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith.
Section 6.2 Limitations
on Indemnification. Subject to the requirements in the DGCL, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant
to this Article 6 in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):
| (a) | for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any statute, insurance policy,
indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid; |
| (b) | for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act,
or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant
to any settlement arrangements); |
| (c) | (i) for any reimbursement of the Corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based
or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Corporation, as required in each
case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Corporation pursuant to
Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Corporation of
profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if
Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements) or (ii) for any reimbursement of the Corporation
by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board of Directors or the
compensation committee of the Board of Directors, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing
requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; |
| (d) | initiated by such person, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by such person
against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors authorized
the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Corporation provides the indemnification,
in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law, or (iii) otherwise required by applicable
law; or |
| (e) | if prohibited by applicable law. |
Section 6.3 Prepayment
of Expenses. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however,
that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only
upon receipt of an undertaking (an “Undertaking”) by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced
if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise.
Section 6.4 Claims.
| (a) | Indemnitee shall notify the Corporation in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends
to seek indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of
notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying
the Proceeding. To obtain indemnification under this Article 6, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request,
including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary
to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by an Indemnitee for indemnification
pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 6.4(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to
the Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the Proceeding
in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee (“Disinterested Directors”), even though less than a quorum,
(2) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum,
(3) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel or (4) by
the stockholders of the Corporation. |
| (b) | If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article 6 is not paid in full
by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the Corporation (except in the
case of a claim for advancement of expenses, for which the applicable period is 30 days), the Indemnitee may file suit to recover the
unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim.
It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding
in advance of its final disposition where the required Undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the
Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct that makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee
for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors, independent counsel or stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because
he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including
its directors, independent counsel or stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense
to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. If a determination shall have
been made pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall
be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 6.4(b). The Corporation
shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) that the
procedures and presumptions of this Article 6 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that
the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article 6. |
Section 6.5 Employees
and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification,
and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any
current or former employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to
the indemnification and advancement of expenses of current or former directors and officers of the Corporation.
Section 6.6 Nonexclusivity
of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article 6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such person may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders
or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.
Section 6.7 Other
Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced
by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
nonprofit enterprise.
Section 6.8 Survival;
Amendment or Repeal. Each person who was, is, or becomes a director or officer shall be deemed to have served or to have continued
to serve in such capacity in reliance upon the indemnity provided for in this Article 6. Such rights shall be deemed to have vested
at the time such person becomes or became a director or officer of the Corporation, and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors
and administrators. Any amendment, modification, alteration or repeal of this Article 6 that in any way diminishes, limits, restricts,
adversely affects or eliminates any right of an Indemnitee or his or her successors to indemnification, advancement of expenses or otherwise
shall be prospective only and shall not in any way diminish, limit, restrict, adversely affect or eliminate any such right with respect
to any actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission then or previously existing, or any action, suit or proceeding
previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action
or omission.
Section 6.9 Enforceability.
If any provision or provisions of this Article 6 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever,
then (1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article 6 (including, without limitation,
each portion of any Section or paragraph of this Article 6 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (2) to
the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article 6 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any Section or
paragraph of this Article 6 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as
to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
Section 6.10 Insurance
for Indemnification. The Corporation may purchase and maintain, at its expense, insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL.
To the extent that the Corporation maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such current or former director or
officer, and each such agent or employee to whom rights to indemnification have been granted as provided in Section 6.5,
shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for
any such current or former director, officer, employee or agent.
ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 Execution
of Corporate Contracts and Instruments. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the
Board of Directors may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any document or instrument
in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized
or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or
authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for
any amount.
Section 7.2 Fiscal
Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the calendar year, unless otherwise determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Section 7.3 Seal.
The corporate seal shall have the name of the Corporation inscribed thereon and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to
time by the Board of Directors.
Section 7.4 Notices.
| (a) | Notice to Directors. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws
notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally
recognized delivery service, (ii) by means of facsimile telecommunication or other form of electronic transmission, or (iii) by
oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery,
orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the
United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the
records of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited
with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the
Corporation, (iv) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission number for such director appearing
on the records of the Corporation, (v) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing
on the records of the Corporation, or (vi) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location
or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation. |
| (b) | Notice to Stockholders. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these
Bylaws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively
to stockholders, such notice may be given (i) in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address, or (ii) by means
of a form of electronic transmission, to the extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 232 of the DGCL.
A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given as follows: (i) if sent by mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with
postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the
Corporation, (ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at the stockholder’s
address, and (iii) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address (unless the stockholder
has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice
is prohibited by the DGCL to be given by electronic transmission). A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the
communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation. A notice by electronic mail will include any files attached thereto and
any information hyperlinked to a website if such electronic mail includes the contact information of an officer or agent of the Corporation
who is available to assist with accessing such files or information. Any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision
of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws provided by means of electronic transmission (other than any such notice
given by electronic mail) may only be given in a form consented to by such stockholder, and any such notice by such means of electronic
transmission shall be deemed to be given as provided by the DGCL. The terms “electronic mail,” “electronic mail address”
and “electronic signature” as used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the DGCL |
| (c) | Electronic Transmission. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication,
not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks
or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved
and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process,
including but not limited to transmission by telex, facsimile telecommunication, electronic mail, telegram and cablegram. |
| (d) | Notice to Stockholders Sharing Same Address. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise
may be given effectively by the Corporation to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of
the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who
share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s
consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation
within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed
to have consented to receiving such single written notice. |
| (e) | Exceptions to Notice Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person
shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such
notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is
unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation
is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the
fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication
is unlawful. |
Whenever notice is required
to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any stockholder
to whom (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of
action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual
meetings, or (2) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month
period, have been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such stockholder’s address as shown on the records of the Corporation
and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such stockholder shall not be required. Any action or meeting that
shall be taken or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given.
If any such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder’s then current address,
the requirement that notice be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is
such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was
not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection
(1) of the first sentence of this paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned
as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission. The exception in subsection (1) of the first sentence of this
paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any stockholder whose electronic mail address appears on
the records of the Corporation to whom notice by electronic transmission is not prohibited by Section 232 of the DGCL.
Section 7.5 Waiver
of Notice of Meetings of Stockholders, Directors and Committees. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law,
the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a waiver of such notice, given before or after the date of such meeting by the person
or persons entitled to said notice, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers shall be kept with the books
of the Corporation. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends for the
express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not
lawfully called or convened.
Section 7.6 Interested
Directors; Quorum. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the
Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers
are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director
or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof that authorizes the contract or
transaction, or solely because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (a) the material facts as to his or her
relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee,
and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of
the Disinterested Directors, even though the Disinterested Directors be less than a quorum; (b) the material facts as to his or her
relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon,
and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (c) the contract or transaction
is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or
the stockholders. All directors, including interested directors, may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of
the Board of Directors or of a committee that authorizes the contract or transaction.
Section 7.7 Form of
Records. Any records administered by or on behalf of the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger,
books of account and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device, method, or one
or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), provided that the records
so kept can be converted into clearly legible form within a reasonable time and, with respect to the stock ledger, that the records so
kept (i) can be used to prepare the list of stockholders specified in Sections 219 and 220 of the DGCL, (ii) record the information
specified in Sections 156, 159, 217(a) and 218 of the DGCL and (iii) record transfers of stock as governed by Article 8
of subtitle I of Title 6. The Corporation shall convert any records so kept into clearly legible paper form upon the request of any person
entitled to inspect the same pursuant to the DGCL.
Section 7.8 Amendment
of Bylaws.
| (a) | These Bylaws may be amended or repealed by the stockholders only by an affirmative vote of the stockholders
holding a majority in interest of all shares entitled to vote upon such amendment or repeal, voting as a single class. |
| (b) | The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend or repeal these Bylaws of, or adopt new bylaws for,
the Corporation. Any such bylaws, or any alteration, amendment or repeal of these Bylaws, may be subsequently amended or repealed by the
stockholders as provided in Section 7.8(a) of these Bylaws. |
Section 7.9 Emergency
Bylaws. In the event of any emergency, disaster or catastrophe or similar event referenced in Section 110 of the DGCL (as
the same exists or may be in effect from time to time, “Section 110”), or other similar emergency condition, irrespective
of whether a quorum of the Board of Directors or a standing committee of the Board of Directors can readily be convened for action, then
the director or directors or other persons as identified in Section 110 in attendance at the meeting shall constitute a quorum, and
such director or directors or such other persons shall have and may exercise, for and on behalf of the Corporation, all such powers and
authority as may be contemplated by Section 110 and in any manner contemplated thereby. Such director or directors and/or other
persons in attendance may further take action to appoint one or more of themselves or other directors or officers, as applicable, to membership
on any standing or temporary committees of the Board of Directors as they shall deem necessary and appropriate.
Section 7.10 Federal
Forum Selection. Unless the Corporation consents in writing
to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any security of the Corporation
shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 7.10.

Person to purchase or redeem such Capital Stock upon the occurrence of an “asset sale” or “change of control”
occurring on or prior to the 91st day after the Stated Maturity of the Notes will not constitute Disqualified Stock if the “asset
sale” or “change of control” provisions applicable to such Capital Stock are not more favorable, as measured by the

Article II
THE
NOTES
Section 2.1
Form and Dating.
The Notes and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Notes may have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
The Notes initially shall be issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The terms and provisions
contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture, and the Company, 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.
(a) The
Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one (1) or more Global Notes substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto,
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 a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee
as hereinafter provided.
Each Global Note shall represent
such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding
Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time
be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions and transfers of interests. Any endorsement of a Global Note
to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee
or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with written instructions given by the Holder thereof as required
by Section 2.6.
Except as set forth in Section 2.6,
the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary
or its nominee.
(b) The
Initial Notes are being issued by the Company only to “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under
the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”)) (“QIBs”) and outside the United States to persons other
than U.S. persons in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). Initial Notes to non-U.S.
persons that are Transfer Restricted Notes may be transferred to QIBs, in reliance on Rule 144A, outside the United States pursuant
to Regulation S or to the Company, in accordance with Section 2.14. Initial Notes that are offered in reliance on Rule 144A
shall be issued in the form of one (1) or more permanent Global Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A
(the “QIB Global Note”) deposited with the Trustee, as Notes Custodian, duly executed by the Company and authenticated
by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Initial Notes that are resold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued
in the form of one (1) or more Global Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Regulation
S Global Note”) deposited with the Trustee, as Notes Custodian, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee
as hereinafter provided. The QIB Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note shall each be issued with separate CUSIP numbers. The aggregate
principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee,
as Notes Custodian. Transfers of Notes to QIBs or pursuant to Regulation S shall be represented by appropriate increases and decreases
to the respective amounts of the appropriate Global Notes, as more fully provided in Section 2.14.
(c) Section 2.1(b) shall
apply only to Global Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.
The Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.2, authenticate
and deliver the Global Notes, which (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary and (ii) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions or held by the Trustee as Note Custodian
for the Depositary.
None of the Trustee, the
Registrar or any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Holder, any member of (or a Participant in) DTC or any
other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC (or its nominee) or of any Participant or member thereof, with respect
to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery 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 the Notes. The Trustee may rely (and
shall be fully protected in relying) upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, Participants and any owners of beneficial
interests in the Notes.
(d) Notes
issued in certificated form, including Global Notes, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
Section 2.2
Execution and Authentication.
An Officer shall sign the
Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature
is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.
A Note shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt
of a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes
for original issue up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be validly issued under this Indenture including (i) Initial
Notes for original issuance in an aggregate principal amount of $181,446,000 and (ii) subject to compliance with Sections 4.9 and
4.12, any Additional Notes for original issuance from time to time after the Issue Date.
The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
authenticating agent may authenticate Notes to the same extent that 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
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.3
Registrar; Paying Agent.
The Company shall maintain
(i) an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee) where Notes may be presented to a
Registrar for registration of transfer or for exchange and (ii) an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee) where Notes may be presented to a Paying Agent for payment. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes
(the “Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one (1) or more co-registrars
and one (1) or more paying agents; provided, however, that at all times there shall be only one (1) Note
Register. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries
may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
The Company shall notify
the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the provisions of Section 317(b) of the TIA. The agreement
shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.
The Company initially appoints
the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as the office
or agency of the Company for such purposes.
The Company initially appoints
DTC to act as the Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
Section 2.4
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Company shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders
or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall
notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company 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 Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by
it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof) shall have
no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary thereof acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate
trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon the occurrence of events specified in clause (8) of
the first paragraph of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
Section 2.5
Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall 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. If
the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) 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, including the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by each Holder
thereof.
Section 2.6
Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities.
(a) Each
Global Note shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Notes or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as required by Section 2.6(e).
Members of, or participants
in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held
on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from
giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary
and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.
(b) Transfers
of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their
respective nominees. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with Section 2.14 and the rules and
procedures of the Depositary. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all owners of a beneficial interest in exchange
for their beneficial interests only if the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
the Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary
is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such notice.
(c) In
connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to owners of beneficial interests pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.6,
such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver, to each owner of a beneficial interest identified in writing by the
Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized
denominations.
(d) The
registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and persons that may
hold an interest through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or any Note.
(e) Each
Global Note shall bear the Global Note Legend on the face thereof. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more temporary Global Notes bearing the Temporary Regulation S Notes Legend.
(f) At
such time as all beneficial interests in Global Notes have been exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled,
all Global Notes shall be returned to or retained by the Trustee and cancelled in accordance with Section 2.11. At any time prior
to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled,
the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global
Note, by the Trustee or the Note Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.
(g) General
provisions relating to transfers and exchanges, subject to Section 2.14:
(i) To
permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Certificated
Notes at the Registrar’s request.
(ii) No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any stamp or transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such stamp or transfer
taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.10, 3.6, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.4 hereto).
(iii) All
Global Notes and Certificated Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Certificated Notes shall,
upon execution by the Company and authentication by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, be the valid obligations of
the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Certificated Notes
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(iv) The
Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange Notes during a period beginning at the
opening of fifteen (15) days before the day of any mailing of a notice of Notes selected for redemption under Section 3.2 and ending
at the close of business on the day of mailing, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (C) to register the transfer of or to
exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.
(v) Prior
to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company 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 Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(vi) The
Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Except as provided
in Section 2.6(b), neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall authenticate or deliver any Certificated Note in exchange for a Global
Note.
(vii) Each
Holder agrees to provide indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from
the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United
States federal or state securities law.
(viii) Neither
the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on
transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any
transfers between or among Agent Members or owners of beneficial interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are 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 2.7
Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Note, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if
the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder
that is sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Company to protect the Company, the
Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the
Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note shall
be an obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other
Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.8
Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at
any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in
this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant
to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.
If the principal amount of
any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other
than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.
Section 2.9
Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the
Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company
or by any Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes shown on the Notes Register as being so
owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such
Notes passes to such entity.
Section 2.10
Temporary Notes.
Until Certificated Notes
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate temporary
Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate
for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
authenticate Certificated Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes
shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.11
Cancellation.
The Company at any time may
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder or which the Company may have acquired
in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee upon the receipt of a cancellation request
from the Company signed by an Officer. All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation
if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all
Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.7, the Company
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All
cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be cancelled and disposed of in accordance with its customary practice, and certification of
their cancellation delivered to the Company upon written request.
Section 2.12
[Reserved].
Section 2.13
CUSIP Number.
The Company in issuing or
otherwise dealing with the Notes may use a “CUSIP” and/or ISIN or other similar number, and if it does so, the Company may
use the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided
that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other
similar number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number.
Section 2.14
Special Transfer Provisions.
Unless and until a Transfer
Restricted Note is transferred or exchanged pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act or under an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act the following provisions shall apply:
(a) Transfers
to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Transfer Restricted
Note (other than pursuant to Regulation S):
(i) The
Registrar shall register the transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note by a Holder to a QIB if such transfer is being made by a proposed
transferor who has provided the Registrar with (a) an appropriately completed certificate of transfer in the form attached to the
Note and (b) a letter substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
(ii) If
the proposed transferee is an Agent Member and the Transfer Restricted Note to be transferred consists of an interest in the Regulation
S Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the items required by paragraph (i) above and (y) instructions given
in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and
records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the QIB Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and
an appropriate decrease in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note.
(b) Transfers
Pursuant to Regulation S. On or after the termination of the Restricted Period (as defined in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163
-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7)), interests in a Global Note bearing the Temporary Regulation S Notes Legend shall be exchangeable for corresponding
interests in a Global Note. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in a Global Note bearing
the Temporary Regulation S Notes Legend may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. Transfers of
beneficial interests in a Global Note bearing the Temporary Regulation S Notes Legend only may be transferred upon (A) delivery
by a beneficial owner of an interest therein to the Depositary or its nominee (as the case may be) of a written certification in the
form of Exhibit C, and (b) delivery by the transferee of such interest to the Depositary or its nominee (as the case
may be) of a written certification in the form of Exhibit C. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Registrar
shall register the transfer of any Regulation S Global Note without requiring any additional certification. The following provisions
shall apply with respect to registration of any proposed transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note pursuant to Regulation S:
(i) The
Registrar shall register any proposed transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note pursuant to Regulation S by a Holder if such transfer is
being made by a proposed transferor who has provided the Registrar with (a) an appropriately completed certificate of transfer in
the form attached to the Note and (b) a written certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto.
(ii) If
the proposed transferee is an Agent Member and the Transfer Restricted Note to be transferred consists of an interest in a QIB Global
Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the items required by paragraph (i) above and (y) instructions given in accordance
with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and an increase in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the QIB Global Note to be transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an appropriate
decrease in the principal amount of the QIB Global Note.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Restricted
Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver
Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend. Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, upon the transfer, exchange or replacement
of Notes bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Restricted Notes Legend unless there
is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that neither such legend nor
the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. On and after
the Resale Restriction Termination Date, upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, which
transfer, exchange or replacement may be initiated by the Company, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Restricted
Notes Legend. Upon request by any Holder, the Company shall cooperate to have the Restricted Notes Legend removed if the Company has
determined such legend is no longer required. At any time on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date with respect to a Note,
if such Note is represented by one or more Global Notes that bear the Restricted Notes Legend, the Company shall remove the Restricted
Notes Legend on such Note by:
| (1) | providing written notice to the Trustee
and the Registrar that the Resale Restriction Termination Date has occurred and instructing
the Trustee to remove the Restricted Notes Legend from such Global Notes; |
| (2) | providing written notice to each Holder
of such Global Notes, which notice shall state that the Restricted Notes Legend has been
removed from the applicable Global Note and include the unrestricted CUSIP that will thereafter
apply to such applicable Global Note; |
| (3) | providing written notice to the Trustee
and the Depositary that the CUSIP number for each such Global Note will be changed to an
unrestricted CUSIP number, which unrestricted CUSIP number shall be listed in such notice;
and |
| (4) | complying with any Applicable Procedures
for legend removal. |
(f) General.
By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the applicable restrictions
on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Notes Legend and agrees that it shall transfer such Note only
as provided herein and therein.
Section 2.15
Issuance of Additional Notes.
The Company shall be entitled
to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture that shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date
of issuance, issue price, accreted value, CUSIP or ISIN numbers, first interest payment date and amount of interest payable on the first
interest payment date applicable thereto, as applicable; provided that such issuance is not otherwise prohibited by the terms
of this Indenture, including Section 4.9 and Section 4.12. All Notes issued under this Indenture (including Additional Notes)
shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture including for purposes of any vote, consent, waiver or other
act of Holders; provided, however, that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with other Notes issued hereunder for
federal income tax purposes, then such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.
With respect to any Additional
Notes, the Company shall set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following
information:
| (1) | the aggregate principal amount of such
Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and |
| (2) | the issue price, the issue date, the CUSIP
number of such Additional Notes, the first interest payment date and the amount of interest
payable on such first interest payment date applicable thereto and the date from which interest
shall accrue. |
Article III
REDEMPTION
AND PREPAYMENT
Section 3.1
Notices to Trustee.
If the Company elects to
redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.7, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least fifteen (15) days but not more than sixty (60) days
(or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) before a date fixed for redemption (the “redemption date”),
an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur,
(ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the Redemption Price.
Section 3.2
Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.
If less than all of the Notes
are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to Section 3.7, the Trustee shall select the Notes (or portions thereof) on a pro rata
basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (subject to the Depositary’s procedures as applicable);
provided that no Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from
the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected

Notice of Redemption.
At least fifteen (15) days
but not more than sixty (60) days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail (or, deliver
electronically if held by DTC or in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes
are to be redeemed at its registered address and for the Notes registered in the name of the Depositary, in accordance with the Depositary’s
applicable procedures.
The notice shall identify
the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
| (3) | if any Note is being redeemed in part,
the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption
date, upon surrender of such Note, and in the case of physical Notes, new Note or Notes in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the
original Note; |
| (4) | the name, telephone number and address
of the Paying Agent; |
| (5) | that Notes called for redemption must
be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price; |
| (6) | that, unless the Company defaults in making
such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date; |
| (7) | the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of
this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;
and |
| (8) | that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number, if any, listed

is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information
to be stated in the notices as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail (or electronically
if held by DTC) or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption
of any other Note.
Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, notices of redemption may be sent more than sixty (60) days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection
with a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 3.4
Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption
is mailed in accordance with Section 3.3, subject to any conditions, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable

thereof called for redemption, provided that the Company has delivered the requisite funds to the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits or pay any Debt owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being
understood that the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating
distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and
the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to other Debt Incurred by the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to pay any Debt or other Obligations);
(ii) make
any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made
to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to other Debt Incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall
not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or
(iii) sell,
lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers
shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (i) or (ii) above).
However, the preceding restrictions shall not
apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(a) agreements
or instruments in effect or entered into on the Original Issue Date, including agreements or instruments governing Debt outstanding on
the Original Issue Date, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements,
refinancings or extensions thereof; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
refundings, replacements, refinancings or extensions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, as determined in good faith
by the Company, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the agreements or instruments governing
such Debt on the Original Issue Date;
(b) an
agreement relating to an acquisition of property, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions in any such agreement relate solely to
the property so acquired (and are not or were not created solely in contemplation of or in connection with the acquisition thereof) and
any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings or extensions thereof;
provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings
or extensions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, as determined in good faith by the Company, with respect to such
dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the agreement prior to such amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings or extensions;
(c) any
agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence at the time of such

or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so
acquired, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings or
extensions thereof; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements, refinancings or extensions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, as determined in good faith by the Company,
with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in such agreements or other instruments prior to such
amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings or extensions;
(d) customary
provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any property or asset that is subject to any lease, contract, or license of the Company

as in effect on the Original Issue Date), the Existing Notes Documents, and in each case any amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings or extensions thereof; provided that such amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings or extensions are not materially
more restrictive, taken as a whole, as determined in good faith by the Company, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions
than those contained in the Note Documents, the ABL Credit Facility or the other Loan Documents (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility,
as in effect on the Original Issue Date), and the Existing Notes Documents, as the case may be, on the Original Issue Date;
(h) restrictions
on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(i) customary
provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational
materials, stockholder agreements, joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements

the subject of such agreements;
(j) Liens
permitted to be incurred under this Indenture, including under Section 4.12, that limit the right of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to sell or dispose of the property or assets subject to such Liens;
(k) any
agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending
its sale or other disposition;
(l) customary

Transaction that, in the good faith determination of the Company, is reasonably necessary to effect such Qualified Receivables Transaction;
(m) (i) purchase

(o) those
arising in connection with any Hedging Obligations and/or Bank Product Obligations; and
(p) those
arising under other Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Original Issue
Date pursuant to Section 4.9; provided that the restrictions contained therein are not materially more restrictive,
taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in this Indenture or would not materially
adversely affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal and interest payments on the Notes, in each case, as determined
in good faith by the Company.
Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 shall
prevent the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from creating, incurring or suffering to exist any Permitted Lien or Permitted
Collateral Lien.
Section 4.9
Limitation on Incurrence of Debt.
The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt (including Acquired Debt); provided, however, that
the Company and any Guarantor may Incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) if the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
for the Company’s most recently ended Four-Quarter Period for which internal financial statements are available on or immediately
preceding the date on which such additional Debt is Incurred, would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis
(including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom).
Notwithstanding the first
paragraph of this Section 4.9, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Debt.
For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 4.9, (x) Guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Debt otherwise
included in the determination of the amount of Debt shall not be included and (y) in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria
of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt and/or would have been permitted to have been Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph
of this Section 4.9, the Company, in its sole discretion, may classify, and from time to time may reclassify, all or any portion
of such item of Debt as being within one or more of such categories or as being Debt permitted to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph
of this Section 4.9; provided that all Debt outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility on the Original Issue Date shall be
treated as incurred on the Original Issue Date under clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”. Debt permitted
by this Section 4.9 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part
by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.9 permitting such Debt.
The accrual of interest and
dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any
Debt in the form of additional Debt, the payment of dividends on Equity Interests in the forms of additional shares of Equity Interests
with the same terms, and changes to amounts outstanding in respect of Hedging Obligations solely as a result of fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates or interest rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder shall not be deemed to
be an Incurrence of Debt.
For purposes of determining
compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt
denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was
Incurred, in the case of term Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided that if such Debt
is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated
restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S.
Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Debt does
not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced (plus interest or premiums, defeasance costs, underwriting discounts and
fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.9, any increase in the
U.S. Dollar equivalent of outstanding Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than
U.S. Dollars resulting from fluctuations in the exchange values of currencies shall not be considered to be an Incurrence of Debt for
purposes of this Section 4.9; provided that the amount of Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding
at any time for purposes of covenant compliance shall be the U.S. Dollar equivalent of all such Debt of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries outstanding at such time.
In the event an item of Debt
(or any portion thereof) is Incurred as Permitted Debt (other than Permitted Debt pursuant to clause (xv) of the definition thereof)
on the same date that an item of Debt is Incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.9, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such Incurrence under the first paragraph of this Section 4.9 without regard
to any Incurrence of such Permitted Debt. Unless the Company elects otherwise, the Incurrence of Debt shall be deemed Incurred first
under the first paragraph of this Section 4.9 to the extent permitted, with the balance Incurred as Permitted Debt.
The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any Guarantor to Incur, any Debt that pursuant to its terms is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other
Debt of the Company or such Guarantor, unless such Debt is also subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of
such Guarantor, as the case may be, on substantially identical terms; provided that Debt shall not be considered subordinate
or junior in right of payment to any other Debt solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior lien or
priority basis.
Section 4.10
Limitation on Asset Sales.
The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1) the
Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the
Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and
(2)
at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in such Asset Sale is in
the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets; provided that to the extent the assets disposed of constituted
Collateral, any Replacement Assets received constitute Collateral.
For purposes of this provision,
each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:
(a) any
liabilities (as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company (or any direct or indirect parent of the Company)
or in the notes thereto or, if incurred, increased, or decreased subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that
would have been reflected on such balance sheet or in the notes thereto if such incurrence, increase or decrease had taken place on the
date of such balance sheet, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than
contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the
transferee (or a third party on behalf of the transferee) of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases or indemnifies the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (or a third party on behalf of the transferee), as the case may be, from further liability;
(b) any
Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate
Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (b), less the amount
of cash or Cash Equivalents received in connection with a subsequent sale, redemption or payment of, or collected on or with respect
to any such Designated Non-cash Consideration, not to exceed 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of receipt of such Designated
Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received
and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); and
(c) any
securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that
are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of their receipt to the extent
of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net
Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply (or cause to be
applied) such Net Cash Proceeds at its option:
(1) (x) to
the extent such Net Cash Proceeds constitute proceeds from the sale of Collateral, to repay First Lien Obligations, or (y) to the
extent such Net Cash Proceeds constitute proceeds from the sale of assets not constituting Collateral, to repay any Debt of a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;
(2) to
prepay, repay or purchase (or offer to prepay, repay or purchase, as applicable) the Notes and any other Second Lien Obligations on a
pro rata basis; provided that any repayment, prepayment or purchase of (or offer to repay, prepay or purchase) obligations
under the Notes shall be made (x) as provided in Section 3.7, (y) through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases
are at or above 100% of the principal amount of the Notes purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of purchase)
or (z) by making an Offer to Purchase (in accordance with the procedures set forth below with respect to Excess Proceeds) to all
holders of Notes to purchase their Notes (at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to
but excluding the date of purchase);
(3) to
make capital expenditures or expenditures for maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets; provided
that to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds constitute proceeds from the disposition of Collateral, such properties and assets constitute
Collateral;
(4) to
acquire Replacement Assets; provided that to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds constitute proceeds from the disposition of
Collateral, such Replacement Assets also constitute Collateral; or
(5) any
combination of the foregoing;
or enter into a binding commitment regarding
clauses (3) or (4) above; provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of
Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is
consummated and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period. If such acquisition or expenditure
is not consummated on or before such 180th day and the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall not have applied such Net Cash Proceeds
pursuant to clauses (1) through (5) of this paragraph on or before such 180th day, such commitment shall be deemed not to have
been a permitted application of Net Cash Proceeds on such 180th day.
Pending the final application
of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Debt under Credit Facilities or otherwise
invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.
Any Net Cash Proceeds from
Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the third paragraph of this Section 4.10 shall constitute “Excess
Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, within thirty days thereof, the Company shall
make an Offer to Purchase to all Holders and all holders of Pari Passu Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this
Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, in each case, equal to the maximum principal
amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any such Offer to
Purchase shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the
date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of such an Offer to Purchase, the Company
may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and such remaining amount shall not be added
to any subsequent Excess Proceeds for any purpose under this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari
Passu Debt tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Company
shall select such other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis as between the Notes and Pari Passu Debt. Upon completion
of each Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Any such Offer to Purchase shall be conducted in accordance
with the procedures specified in Section 3.8.
To the extent that any portion
of Net Cash Proceeds payable in respect of the Notes is denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the amount thereof payable
in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in U.S. Dollars that is actually received by the Company upon converting
such portion into U.S. Dollars.
The Company shall comply
with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent
such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.8 or this Section 4.10, the Company shall
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.8
or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.
Section 4.11
Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.
The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from in any transaction or series of related transactions,
or enter into or make or amend, any contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the
Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million,
unless:
(i) such
Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those
that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
with an unaffiliated third party; and
(ii) with
respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0
million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction
and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.
The foregoing limitation does not limit, and
shall not apply to:
(i) Permitted
Investments and/or other Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.7;
(ii) [reserved];
(iii) any
employment or consulting agreement, director’s engagement agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification
agreement, severance arrangement, compensation or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company (or any direct or indirect parent
thereof) or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business or approved in good faith by the relevant Board of
Directors and payments pursuant thereto;
(iv) the
payment of reasonable fees, reasonable out of pocket costs, compensation and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock, option,

Subsidiaries;

in good faith;

Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or any direct or indirect parent thereof), or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant

respective estates, investment funds, investment vehicles, spouses or former spouses) of the Company, any of the Company’s subsidiaries
or any direct or indirect parent of the Company and the granting and performing of reasonable and customary registration rights;
(ix) any
agreement, instrument or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date (including agreement, instrument or arrangement underlying affiliate
transactions described in the Offering Memorandum), and any transactions contemplated thereby and amendments or modifications thereto
or replacements thereof, so long as any such amendment, modification or replacement is not disadvantageous in any material respect to
the Holders, taken as a whole, as compared to the original agreement, instrument or arrangement in effect on the Issue Date;
(x) transactions
as to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of an investment banking, accounting,

case may be;
(xi) any
contribution of capital to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary otherwise permitted hereunder;
(xii) transactions

the Company (including by senior management or the board thereof), fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (y) on
terms that are not less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, than those that might reasonably have
been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unaffiliated third party;
(xiii) sales
or other dispositions of accounts receivable and related assets and interests therein of the type specified in the definition of “Qualified
Receivables Transaction” to a Receivables Subsidiary in a Qualified Receivables Transaction and Permitted Investments and other

with a Qualified Receivables Transaction;
(xiv) the
entering into of a tax sharing agreement, or payments pursuant thereto, between the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries,
on the one hand, and any other Person (including any direct or indirect parent of the Company) with which the Company and/or such Restricted
Subsidiaries files a consolidated tax return; provided that any such tax sharing agreement, or payment pursuant thereto, shall
be on customary terms to the extent attributable to the ownership or operation of the Company and the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries;
(xv) any
merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose and
with the sole effect of forming a holding company or reincorporating the Company in a new jurisdiction;

director of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

other holders of such class generally;
(xix) any
agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by, merged into or amalgamated,
arranged or consolidated with the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such agreement was not entered
into in contemplation of such acquisition, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation and any amendment thereto (so long as any
such amendment is not materially more disadvantageous to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in the good faith judgment of Senior
Management or the Board of Directors of the Company, when taken as a whole, as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the

Section 4.12
Limitation on Liens.
The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien of any kind securing
Debt on the Collateral, except Permitted Collateral Liens.
For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 4.12, in the event that a proposed Lien (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one
of the categories described in one or more of the clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Company shall
be entitled to divide or classify (or later divide, classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Lien (or
any portion thereof) among one or more clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Liens” in a manner that otherwise
complies with this Section 4.12. In the event a Lien (or any portion thereof) is Incurred under clause (mm) of the definition of
“Permitted Liens” on the same date that a Lien is incurred under a different clause of the definition of “Permitted
Liens”, then the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such Incurrence under such clause (mm) without
regarding to any Incurrence of such other Permitted Lien.
Section 4.13
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:
(i) the
consideration received in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property that is the
subject of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, and in the case of any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with a Fair Market Value equal
to or greater than $10.0 million, such Fair Market Value is certified to the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate;
(ii) the
Company or the Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred an aggregate principal amount of such Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable
Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction under Section 4.9; and
(iii) if
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction constitutes an Asset Sale, the transfer of assets in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted
by, and the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, applies the Net Cash Proceeds of such transaction in compliance
with Section 4.10.
Section 4.14
Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control.
Upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control, the Company shall be required to make an Offer to Purchase (a “Change of Control Offer”) all or
any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price (the
“Purchase Price”) in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest
to but not including the Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest
payment date falling on or prior to the Purchase Date). For purposes of the foregoing, a Change of Control Offer shall be deemed to have
been made if (i) within thirty (30) days following a Change of Control, the Company commences an Offer to Purchase all outstanding
Notes at the Purchase Price and (ii) all Notes validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased
in accordance with the terms of such Offer to Purchase. Any Change of Control Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures
specified in Section 3.8.
The Company shall not be
required to make a Change of Control Offer if (i) a third party makes such Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise
in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and
purchases all Notes validly tendered (and not withdrawn) under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption for all
of the outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.7. An Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control(an
“Advanced Offer to Purchase”), conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for
the Change of Control at the time such Advanced Offer to Purchase is made. The Company shall not be required to make another Change of
Control Offer if an Advanced Offer to Purchase has already been made.
The Company 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 any Offer to Purchase described above. To the extent that the provisions
of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.8 or this Section 4.14, the Company shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.8 or this Section 4.14
by virtue of such compliance.
In the event that Holders
of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer (or Advanced Offer to
Purchase) and the Company purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, within 90 days of such purchase, the Company shall have the
right, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, to redeem all of the Notes that
remain outstanding following such purchase at the Purchase Price plus, to the extent not included in the Purchase Price, accrued and
unpaid interest on the Notes to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).
Section 4.15
Maintenance of Properties, Corporate Existence and Insurance.
Subject to and in compliance
with the provisions of Article X and the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, all property (including equipment) material
to, and used or useful in the conduct of the business of, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as whole, shall be maintained
and kept in good operating condition and working order (ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss excepted), and the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries shall make any repairs, replacements and improvements thereto as they determine to be reasonable and prudent; provided
that the Company. and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15
to the extent that the failure to do so would not result in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries to satisfy their obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture and the Security Documents.
The Company shall do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory),
licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that (a) this Section 4.15 shall
not apply to any transaction or series of transactions to which Article V is applicable and (b) the Company shall not be required
to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and that the loss thereof would not result in a material adverse effect
on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to satisfy their obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture
and the Security Documents.
The Company shall provide
or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) on its and its
Subsidiaries business and the Collateral, with recognized, financially sound insurers or with the government of the United States of
America, or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as are determined by the
Company in good faith to be reasonable and prudent, taking into account the risks that are usually insured against in the same general
area by companies engaged in the same business or a business that the Company deems reasonably similar (in each case, after giving effect
to any self-insurance determined by the Company to be reasonable and prudent).
Section 4.16
Limited Condition Transactions.
When
calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture or compliance with any provision of this Indenture in connection
with any Limited Condition Transaction, any actions or transactions related thereto (including, without limitation, acquisitions, Investments,
the Incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds therefrom, the incurrence of Liens, Restricted Payments and the designation of any Restricted
Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary), and determining compliance with Defaults and Events of Default, in each case, at the option of
the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination for
availability under any such basket or ratio and whether any such action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition
therefor is complied with or satisfied (including, without limitation, as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default))
under this Indenture shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into
(or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or similar event) (the “LCT Test Date”), and if,
after giving effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including, without limitation,
acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds therefrom, the incurrence of Liens and Restricted Payments)
on a Pro Forma Basis, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate
such transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions),
such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied) for
all purposes under this Indenture (in the case of Debt, for example, whether such Debt is committed, issued or otherwise Incurred at
the LCT Test Date or at any time thereafter); provided, that compliance with such ratios, tests or baskets (and any related requirements
and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction
or any actions or transactions related thereto (including, without limitation, acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence of Debt
and the use of proceeds therefrom, the incurrence of Liens, Restricted Payments and the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted
Subsidiary).
For
the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCT Election, (1) if any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance
was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date have been exceeded or otherwise failed to
have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated
EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, such baskets, tests or
ratios shall not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations; (2) if any
related requirements and conditions (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default) for which compliance
or satisfaction was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date not have been complied with
or satisfied (including due to the occurrence or continuation of an Default or Event of Default), such requirements and conditions shall
not be deemed to have been failed to be complied with or satisfied (and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have
occurred or be continuing); and (3) in calculating the availability under any ratio, test or basket in connection with any action
or transaction unrelated to such Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date
on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, purchase
or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes or such irrevocable
notice is rescinded, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall
be determined or tested giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction.
Section 4.17
Additional Note Guarantees.
After the Issue Date, the
Company shall cause each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. organized Restricted Subsidiary
that guarantees the Debt under the ABL Credit Facility, the Existing Notes or any other Debt for borrowed money in a principal amount
in excess of $25.0 million to Guarantee the Notes (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
Any Restricted Subsidiary
that becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date shall execute (i) a supplemental indenture, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture,
pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee, on a senior secured basis, all of the Company’s Obligations
under the Notes upon the terms set forth in this Indenture and (ii) a joinder agreement to the applicable Security Documents defining
the terms of the security interests that secure payment and performance when due of the Notes, and take all actions required by the Security
Documents to cause the Note Liens created thereunder to be duly perfected in accordance with applicable law (subject to Section 4.19
hereof), including the execution and delivery of other applicable Security Documents and the filing of financing statements in the jurisdictions
of incorporation or formation of the Company and the Guarantors.
Section 4.18
Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
The Company may designate
any of its Subsidiaries to be an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” as provided below, in which event such Subsidiary and each other
Person that is a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
“Unrestricted
Subsidiary” means:
| (i) | any
Subsidiary of the Company designated as such by the Board of Directors of the Company after
the Issue Date as set forth below; and |
| (ii) | any
Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. |
After the Issue Date, the
Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless after giving effect to such designation,
such Subsidiary would own any Equity Interests of, or would own or hold any Lien on any property of, any other Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company; provided that either:
(x) the
Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) of $100,000 or less;
or
(y) the
Company could make a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value or book value
of such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.7 and such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment,
as applicable, for the purpose of calculating the amount available for Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments thereunder.
An Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated
as a Restricted Subsidiary if (i) all the Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred under Section 4.9 and (ii) all
the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred under Section 4.12.
Section 4.19
Creation and Perfection of Certain Security Interests After the Issue Date.
The Company and the Guarantors
shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all acts and things that would be required, including
obtaining any required consents from third parties, to have all security interests in the Collateral duly created and enforceable and
perfected, to the extent required by the Security Documents, in each case, promptly following the Issue Date, but in no event later than
120 days thereafter. Failure to obtain such consents and create and perfect a security interest in such Collateral within such period
constitutes an Event of Default if and to the extent provided under clause (9) under Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if after using commercially reasonable efforts such a security interest in an asset could not be created or perfected because a third
party consent had not been obtained or local law did not permit a security interest to more than one secured party, the Company shall
not be required to create or perfect such security interest. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this paragraph to Collateral do
not include Excluded Assets. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent on behalf of the holders of the Notes has any duty or responsibility
to see to or monitor the performance of the Company and the Guarantors with regard to these matters.
Section 4.20
Further Assurances.
The Company and each of the
Guarantors shall execute and deliver such additional instruments, certificates or documents, and take all such further actions as may
be reasonably required from time to time in order to:
| (1) | carry out more effectively the purposes
of the Security Documents; |
| (2) | create, grant, perfect and maintain the
validity, effectiveness and priority (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) of any of the
Security Documents and the Liens created, or intended to be created, by the Security Documents;
and |
| (3) | ensure the protection and enforcement
of any of the rights granted or intended to be granted to the Collateral Agent or Trustee
under any other instrument executed in connection therewith |
Section 4.21
Suspension of Covenants.
(a) The
covenants contained in Section 4.7; Section 4.8; Section 4.9; Section 4.10; Section 4.11;
clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.13 and clause (vii) of Section 5.1 (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”) shall not apply during any period during which the Notes have an Investment Grade Status (a “Suspension
Period”).
(b) Additionally,
during any Suspension Period, the Company shall no longer be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
(c) In
the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result
of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “ Reversion Date”) the Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status,
then the Suspended Covenants shall apply with respect to events occurring following the Reversion Date (unless and until the Notes subsequently
attain an Investment Grade Status, in which case the Suspended Covenants shall again be suspended for such time that the Notes maintain
an Investment Grade Status); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed
to exist under any of the Note Documents with respect to the Suspended Covenants, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
shall bear any liability for any actions taken or events occurring during a Suspension Period and before any related Reversion Date,
or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation or binding commitment arising prior to such Reversion Date, regardless
of whether those actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenant had remained in effect during such
period.
On each Reversion Date, all
Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date shall be deemed to be Debt existing on the Original Issue Date.
For purposes of calculating the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (c) of the first paragraph of Section 4.7
on or after the Reversion Date, such calculations shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of
time after the Original Issue Date (including the Suspension Period).
Restricted Payments made
during the Suspension Period not otherwise permitted pursuant to any of clauses (ii) through (xvi) under the second paragraph
of Section 4.7 shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (c) of the first paragraph
of Section 4.7; provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reversion Date shall not
be reduced to below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments. In addition, for purposes of the other Suspended Covenants all
agreements entered into and all actions taken during the Suspension Period, including the Incurrence of Debt shall be deemed to have
been taken or to have existed prior to the Original Issue Date.
The Company, in an Officer’s
Certificate, shall provide the Trustee notice of any Suspension Period or Reversion Date. The Trustee shall 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 Company’s future compliance with its covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of a Suspension Period or Reversion
Date.

of this Indenture;
(v) after

Subsidiary), shall be held in a judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid, or any
Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its
Note Guarantee (other than by reason of a release of such Guarantor in accordance with this
Indenture, as applicable); |
| (5) | default in the performance, or breach,
of (i) any covenant or agreement of the Company or any Guarantor in this Indenture (other
than (x) a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically

and continuance of such default or breach for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice
thereof has been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by
the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or (ii) Section 4.3
and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 120 days after written notice thereof

of such Debt when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period provided
in such Debt (a “Payment Default”) or (B) results in the acceleration
of such Debt prior to its Stated Maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any

been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated and remains unpaid,
aggregates in excess of $30.0 million; |
| (7) | failure by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that,
taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final and non-appealable

a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); or |
| (iii) | orders the liquidation of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); |
and the order or
decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or
| (9) | unless all of the Collateral has been
released from the Note Liens in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents,
the default, repudiation or disaffirmation by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of any of their obligations under the Security Documents (other than by reason of a release
of such obligation or Lien related thereto in accordance with this Indenture or the Security
Documents), which default, repudiation or disaffirmation results in Collateral having an
aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $15.0 million not being subject to a valid, perfected
security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent under any applicable law (other than the
law of any foreign jurisdiction) (to the extent required under the Collateral Documents),
or a determination in a judicial proceeding that the Security Documents are unenforceable
or invalid against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for any reason with
respect to Collateral having an aggregate Fair Market Value of $15.0 million or more;
provided that such default, repudiation, disaffirmation or determination is not rescinded,
stayed, or waived by the Persons having such authority pursuant to the Security Documents
or otherwise cured within sixty (60) days after the Company receives written notice thereof
specifying such occurrence from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes demanding that such default be remedied. |
Section 6.2
Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other
than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing and is
actually known to a responsible officer of the Trustee, then and in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30%
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Notes, premium, if any, and any accrued
and unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if (i) all
Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, have been cured
or waived as provided herein and (ii) such rescission or annulment would not conflict with any decree of judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
In the event of a declaration
of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.1 has occurred and is continuing,
the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default
triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.1 shall be remedied or cured by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within thirty (30) Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with
respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes.
If an Event of Default specified
in clause (8) of Section 6.1 occurs with respect to the Company, the principal amount of, premium, if any, and any accrued
and unpaid interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, any Note) if the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests
of the Holders.
If the Notes are accelerated
or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case as a result of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of
Section 6.1 (including the acceleration of any portion of the Debt evidenced by the Notes by operation of law), or if the Stated
Maturity of the Notes is shortened because the Existing Notes remain outstanding, the amount that shall then be due and payable shall
be equal to:
| (x) | (i) 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding plus the Applicable Premium in effect on the date of
such acceleration or shortened maturity or (ii) the applicable redemption price in effect
on the date of such acceleration or shortened maturity, as applicable, plus |
| (y) | accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding,
the date of such acceleration or shortened maturity, |
in each case as if such acceleration or shortened
maturity were an optional redemption of the Notes so accelerated.
Notwithstanding the generality
of the foregoing, if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case, as a result of an
Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 (including the acceleration of any portion of the Debt evidenced by
the Notes by operation of law), or if the stated maturity of the Notes is shortened because the Existing Notes remain outstanding, the
Applicable Premium or the amount by which the applicable redemption price exceeds the principal amount of the Notes (the “Redemption
Price Premium”), as applicable, with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes shall also be due and payable as though
the Notes had been optionally redeemed on the date of such acceleration or shortened maturity and shall constitute part of the Obligations
with respect to the Notes in view of the impracticability and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the
parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. If the Applicable Premium or the Redemption
Price Premium, as applicable, becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the Notes and interest shall accrue on the
full principal amount of the Notes (including the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable) from and after the
applicable triggering event. Any premium payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be presumed to be liquidated damages sustained by each
Holder as the result of the acceleration or shortened maturity of the Notes, and the Company agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances
currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes or this Indenture are satisfied, released or discharged
through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE COMPANY AND EACH GUARANTOR
EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS
OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION OR SHORTENED MATURITY. The Company
expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s
length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding
the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Holders and
the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (D) the Company shall be
estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement
to pay the premium to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the Notes. In no event shall
the Trustee or the Agent be responsible for any calculations including calculating the Redemption Price Premium, Applicable Premium or
Treasury Rate.
Section 6.3
Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or any Security Document, subject, in each case, to
the Intercreditor Agreement.
The Trustee may maintain
a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.4
Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than as a result of an acceleration), which shall require
the written consent of all of the Holders of the Notes then outstanding.
Section 6.5
Control by Majority.
Subject to the provisions
of the Security Documents, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
on it. However, (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines
may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, and (ii) the Trustee
may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
Section 6.6
Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of any Note shall
have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) such
Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the
Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have in writing requested the Trustee to institute
such proceeding;
(c) such
Holders shall have offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and
(d) the
Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a written direction
inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within sixty (60) days.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not
have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).
Section 6.7
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, premium, if any, and interest on or after the respective
due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Offer to Purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.8
Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof
in any proceeding related thereto, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against
the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses
of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including without limitation
any amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7), its agents and counsel.
Section 6.9
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized
to 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 relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property
and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable
upon the conversion or exchange of the Notes or on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly
to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. To the extent that the payment of any
such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.7 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured
by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders
may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10
Priorities
Subject to the provisions
of the Security Documents, any money or property collected by the Trustee (or received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent under
any Security Documents) pursuant to this Article VI and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any,
upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
First: to the Trustee,
Agent, Collateral Agent (including any predecessor Trustee, Agent and/or Collateral Agent), its agents and attorneys for amounts due
under Section 7.7, including payment of all reasonable compensation, fees, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made,
by the Trustee, Agent and Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders
for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest respectively;
Third: without
duplication, to the Holders for any other Obligations owing to the Holders under this Indenture and the Notes; and Fourth: to the
Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment
date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11
Undertaking for Costs
In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a
court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(a) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise

its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
(b) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the
duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those
duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee; and

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, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the certificates and opinions specifically required to be furnished to it to determine
whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts or conclusions stated therein).
(c) The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,

(i) this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraphs (b) or (e) of this Section 7.1;

Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it is proved

by it in accordance with the terms hereof.

and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.
(b) Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion
of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of the Trustee’s own choosing and the Trustee shall be fully protected from liability
in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel
or on any Opinion of Counsel.

Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent
appointed with due care.

or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by an Officer’s Certificate and a Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee. Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on its part,
conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.
(e) Unless
otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or a Guarantor shall be
sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or such Guarantor.
(f) The

(g) The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,

documents, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see
fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall have reasonable access after reasonable
notice during normal business hours to the books, records and premises of the Company or any Guarantor, personally or by agent or attorney
and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
(h) The
rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Trustee, including its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall
be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Persons employed to act hereunder
or under any Security Document (including the Collateral Agent and the Agent).
(i) The
permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture or any Security Document shall
not be construed as a duty.
(j) In
the event that the Trustee (in such capacity or in any other capacity hereunder or under any Security Document) is unable to decide between
alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Indenture or any Security Document, or in the event that the
Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Indenture or any Security Document, or believes any such provision is
ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
Indenture or any Security Document permits any determination by or the exercise of discretion on the part of the Trustee or is silent
or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Trustee
may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Holders requesting instruction as to the course
of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instructions received from a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, the Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any
Person. If the Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or such shorter period
as reasonably may be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to,
take or refrain from taking such action as it shall deem to be in the interests of the Holders and the Trustee shall have no liability
to any Person for such action or inaction.
(k) The
Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized
at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.
Section 7.3
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 Company or any Affiliate of the Company
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also
subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.
Section 7.4
Trustee’s Disclaimer

responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, or the existence, genuineness,
enforceability, value, filing financing or continuation statements or any other filings, or protection of any Collateral (except for
the safe custody of Collateral in its possession in accordance with the terms hereof), for the legality, effectiveness, enforceability
or sufficiency of any Security Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Note Lien, and it
shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s
direction under any provision of this Indenture, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein, any statement in
the Notes, or any statement or recital in any document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than
its certificate of authentication on the Notes. In no event shall the Trustee or the Agent be responsible for any calculations including
calculating the Redemption Price Premium, Applicable Premium or Treasury Rate.
Section 7.5
Notice of Defaults
If a Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default
within 90 days after it occurs, or if discovered after such 90 day period, promptly after the Trustee learns of such Default (unless
such Default shall have been cured or waived). Except in the case of a 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 the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is
in the interests of the Holders.
The Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes)unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge
thereof or shall have received written notice thereof at its address set forth in Section 12.2 from the Company, any Guarantor or
Holders of 30 % in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes specifying the occurrence and nature thereof and stating
that such notice is a notice of default.
Section 7.6
[Reserved]
Section 7.7
Compensation and Indemnity
The Company shall pay to
the Trustee from time to time compensation as shall be agreed to in writing by the Company and the Trustee for its acceptance of this
Indenture and services hereunder (it being hereby agreed that the compensation set forth in any fee letter between the Company and the
Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonable). The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee
of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses
incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements,
fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
The Company and the Guarantors,
jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include its officers, directors,
agents and employees) against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities (including environmental liabilities) or expenses incurred
by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under the Note Documents, this Indenture, including
the costs and expenses of enforcing the Note Documents or this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.7) and defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense may
be attributable to its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel,
including, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions).
The Company and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The obligations of the Company
and the Guarantors under this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of this Indenture,

held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on particular Notes.
Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of this Indenture and the resignation or removal
of the Trustee.
In addition, and without
prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of the first paragraph of Section 6.1 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.
“Trustee” for
the purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each
agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder or under any Security Document; provided, however, that
the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.
The Trustee shall comply
with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.
Section 7.8
Replacement of Trustee

of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment
as provided in this Section 7.8.
The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from
the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. 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 Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

expense), the Company 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.
If the Trustee, after written
request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six (6) months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of
the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and the duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder
have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this

all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or any Agent, shall be the successor of the Trustee or any Agent hereunder, as applicable,
provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII, to the extent operative, without the execution
or filing of any document or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In the case any Notes shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated
such Notes.

There shall at all times
be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state
thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power and that is subject to supervision or examination by federal

recent annual report of condition. If at any time the Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article VII.

have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b) including
the provision in § 310(b)(1); provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any

Any application by the Trustee
for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or
omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application
on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than twenty (20) Business Days after the date any Officer

including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, Paying Agent or Registrar
or in any other capacity hereunder, has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages
are sought. The Trustee, the Collateral Agent and/or the Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance
of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control,
including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances;
sabotage; epidemics; pandemics; recognized public emergencies; quarantine restrictions; riots; interruptions; loss

At any time or times, for
the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Company,
the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of (i) the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent or (ii) the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount at maturity of the Notes, the Company shall
for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper

separate trustee, co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent of any such property, in either case with such
powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property,
title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.15. If the Company does not
join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request in accordance with this Section 7.15 so to
do, or in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent alone shall have power to make
such appointment.
Should any written instrument
from the Company be requested by any co-trustee or separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral
agent so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all
such instruments shall, on request of such co-trustee or separate trustee or separate collateral agent, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Company.
Any co-trustee, separate
trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent shall agree in writing to be and shall be subject to
the provisions of the applicable Security Documents as if it were the Trustee thereunder (and the Trustee shall continue to be so subject).
Every co-trustee or separate
trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such
extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms and subject in all cases to the provisions of the Security Documents, namely:
The Notes shall be authenticated
and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal
property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee.
The rights, powers, duties
and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred
or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, or by the
Trustee and such co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent jointly as shall be provided in the instrument
appointing such co-trustee, separate trustee or separate collateral agent, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction
in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee, separate trustee or co-collateral agent,
sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent.
The Trustee at any time,
by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company evidenced by a Board Resolution, may accept the resignation
of or remove any co-trustee, separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent appointed under
this Section 7.15, and, in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation
of, or remove, any such co-trustee, separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent without
the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery
and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee,
separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent so resigned or removed may be appointed in
the manner provided in this Section 7.15.
No co-trustee, separate trustee
or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent hereunder shall be liable by reason of any act or omission
of the Trustee, or any other such trustee, co-trustee, separate trustee, co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral
agent hereunder.
The Trustee shall not be
liable by reason of any act or omission of any co-trustee, separate trustee, co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral
agent.
Any Act of Holders delivered
to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee, separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral
agent or separate collateral agent, as the case may be.
Article VIII
LEGAL
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section 8.1
Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Company may, at its option
and at any time evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.2 or
8.3 applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.
Section 8.2
Legal Defeasance.
Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding
Notes, and all obligations of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees, on the date
the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “legal defeasance”). For this purpose, legal defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and
the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(a) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes
when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.4(l);
(b) the
Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.10 and 4.2;
(c) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection
therewith; and
(d) the
provisions of this Article VIII.
Subject to compliance with
this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
under Section 8.3.
Section 8.3
Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections
4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20 and 5.1 with respect to the outstanding Notes and
Note Guarantees on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”
and, together with legal defeasance, “defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding”
for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection
with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood
that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, covenant defeasance means that, with respect
to the outstanding Notes, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein
to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1
of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, clauses
(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9) of the first paragraph of Section 6.1 shall not constitute Events of Default.
Section 8.4
Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The following shall be the
conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 to the outstanding Notes:
| (1) | the Company must irrevocably deposit or
cause to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders,
cash in U.S. Dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof,
in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment
bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent chartered public accountants, expressed in a
written opinion thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be
applied by the Trustee to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding
Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and
the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to Stated Maturity or to a
particular redemption date; |
| (2) | in the case of legal defeasance, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling
or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel
shall confirm that, the Holders and beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize
gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and
will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such legal defeasance had not occurred; |
| (3) | in the case of covenant defeasance, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders and beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; |
| (4) | no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of
Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit or the granting
of any Lien to secure such borrowing); |
| (5) | such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance
shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material
agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by
which the Company is bound; and |
| (6) | the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that
all conditions precedent relating to such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance have been
satisfied. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of
Counsel required by clause (2) above with respect to a legal defeasance need not to be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise,
(y) will become due and payable within one year or (z) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee.
Section 8.5
Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
Subject to Section 8.6,
all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 in respect
of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or any Subsidiary thereof acting as Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge in connection with any investment, reinvestment or liquidation of an investment
imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 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.
Anything in this Article VIII
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company
and be relieved of all liability with respect to any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent chartered public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(1)), 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 8.6
Repayment to Company.
Subject to applicable law,
any money or property deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one (1) year after such principal and premium,
if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its written request or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall 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 Company 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
shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money or property
then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.
Section 8.7
Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3, as
the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes
any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or property held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.
Section 8.8
Discharge.
This Indenture will be discharged
and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (subject to those provisions that by their express terms shall
survive) (a “Discharge”), when:
| (A) | all Notes theretofore authenticated and
delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes
for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company)
have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or |
| (B) | all Notes not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of
a notice of redemption or otherwise, (ii) will become due and payable within one year
or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption and, in each case, the
Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in trust
of cash in U.S. Dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof
in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the principal, premium, if any, and interest
on, the Notes to the Stated Maturity thereof or the date of redemption, as the case may be;
provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium,
the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that
an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of
the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any
such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited
with the Trustee by 11:00 am NY time on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable
Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee
simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such
Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption; |
| (2) | the Company has paid or caused to be paid
all other sums then due and payable under this Indenture by the Company; |
| (3) | the deposit will not result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the
Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; |
| (4) | the Company has delivered irrevocable
instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes
at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be; and |
| (5) | the Company has delivered to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that
all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the Discharge have been satisfied. |
The Collateral shall be released
from the Note Lien securing the Notes, as provided under Section 10.4 hereof, upon a Discharge in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 8.8.

| (11) | make any amendment to the provisions
of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture,
including to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes or to comply with the
rules of any applicable securities depository; provided, however,
that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being
transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such
amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; |
| (12) | conform the text of this Indenture or
any other Note Document to any provision of the “Description of New Notes” in

Certificate; |
| (13) | provide for the release, addition, completion,

release of Collateral from the Lien securing the Obligations under the Notes, this Indenture
and the Security Documents when permitted or required by the Security Documents, the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Second Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (if then in effect) or this
Indenture; or |
| (16) | secure any Additional Second Lien Obligations
under the Security Documents. |
Section 9.2
With Consent of Holders.
Except as provided below
in this Section 9.2, the Note Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Note Documents
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including
consents obtained in connection with purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes); provided, however,
that without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held
by a non-consenting Holder):
| (1) | change the Stated Maturity of the principal
of, or any installment of interest on, any Note; |
| (2) | reduce the principal of, or rate of interest
on, or premium payable on, any Note; |
| (3) | change the place of payment where, or
the currency in which, the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Note is payable
or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the Stated Maturity thereof; |
| (4) | change the date on which any Notes may
be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor (it being understood that
a change to any advance notice requirement with respect to such date shall not be deemed
to be a change of such date); |
| (5) | reduce the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; |
| (6) | subordinate, in right of payment, the
Notes to any other Debt of the Company; |
| (7) | waive a Default or Event of Default in
the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission
of acceleration of the Notes and the consequences thereof by the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default
that resulted from such acceleration); |
| (8) | waive a redemption payment with respect
to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.10 or Section 4.14); |
| (9) | make any change in the provisions of this
Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive
payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due and payable;
or |
| (10) | make any change in the preceding amendment
and waiver provisions. |
In addition, any amendment
or supplement to, or waiver of, the provisions of the Note Documents that has the effect of releasing (x) all or substantially all
of the Collateral from the Note Liens securing the Notes or (y) any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee
or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, will, in each case, require the consent of the Holders of at
least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.
The consent of the Holders
is not necessary under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment of any Note Document. It is sufficient
if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder
of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender.
For the avoidance of doubt,
no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants described in Article IV or action taken in compliance with the covenants in
effect at the time of such action, shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of any Holder of Notes to receive payment of principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such
Holder’s Notes.
Section 9.3
Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder
of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent
is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives
written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. When an amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it thereafter binds every Holder.
The Company may, but shall
not be obligated to, fix a record date for determining which Holders consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Company
fixes a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of thirty (30) days prior to the first solicitation of such
consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished for the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.5
or (ii) such other date as the Company shall designate.
Section 9.4
Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an
appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes
may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate
notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
After any amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. The
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.5
Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.
The Trustee shall sign any
amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect
the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental
indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In signing or refusing to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture
the Trustee shall receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that all conditions precedent
thereto have been satisfied or waived, that such amendment or supplemental indenture is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be
valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms. The Trustee may but need not sign any such amendment or supplemental
indenture. In signing such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.
Article X
SECURITY
Section 10.1
Appointment, Authorization and Rights of the Collateral Agent.
(a) The
Collateral Agent is hereby designated and appointed as the Collateral Agent of the Trustee and the Holders under the Security Documents,
and is authorized as the Collateral Agent for the Trustee and such Holders to execute and enter into each of the Security Documents and
the Intercreditor Agreement and all other instruments relating to the Security Documents and (i) to take action and exercise such
powers as are expressly required or permitted hereunder and under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and all instruments
relating hereto and thereto and (ii) to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are in each case, expressly delegated to
the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto.
(b) The
Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into any other Intercreditor Agreement that may be entered into after the
Issue Date by the Company, any Guarantor and the Collateral Agent in connection with Credit Facilities not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture (which is not materially less favorable to the Collateral Agent and the Holders (taken as a whole) than the Intercreditor Agreement
referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Intercreditor Agreement” set forth in Section 1.1) (as certified
to by the Company in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent).
(c) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or therein or any fiduciary relationship with any
Holder or the Trustee, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.
(d) Before
the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both. The Collateral
Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any such Officer’s Certificate
or Opinion of Counsel. The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of the Collateral Agent’s own choosing and the Collateral
Agent shall be fully protected from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder or under the Security
Documents in good faith and in reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel or on any Opinion of Counsel.
(e) In
the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind
in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion
may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the
Collateral Agent to incur, or to be exposed to, any environmental liabilities or any other liability under any other federal, state or
local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Agent or to arrange
for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any
Person for any environmental liabilities or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or
regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating
to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous substances into the environment.
(f) The
Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for or liability with respect to monitoring compliance of any other party to this Indenture
or any other document related hereto or thereto. The Collateral Agent has no duty to monitor the value or rating of any collateral on
an ongoing basis.
Section 10.2
Security Documents; Additional Collateral.
(a) Security
Documents. In order to secure the due and punctual payment of the Note Obligations, the Company, the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent
and the other parties thereto have simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture entered or, in accordance with the provisions
of Section 4.19, Section 4.20 and this Article X and Sections 5.1 and 12.1 of the security agreement referred to in clause

In the event that either
Company or any Guarantor has sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of or proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any portion
of the Collateral that, under the terms of this Indenture may be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Guarantor,
and the Company or such Guarantor requests the Trustee to furnish a written disclaimer, release or quitclaim of any interest in such
property under this Indenture, the applicable Guarantee and the Security Documents, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release complies with Section 10.4 and specifying the provision in Section 10.4

form provided by the Company, and providing for release without recourse and shall take such other action as the Company or such Guarantor
may reasonably request and as necessary to effect such release. Before executing, acknowledging or delivering any such instrument, the
Trustee shall be furnished with an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (on which the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
and exclusively rely) each to the effect that such release is authorized and permitted by the terms hereof and the Security Documents
and that all conditions precedent with respect to such release have been satisfied.

Subject to the provisions
of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall have the right to remain in possession
and retain exclusive control of and to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral (other than monies or U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Article VIII, and other than as set forth in the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Indenture), to operate, manage, develop, lease, use, consume and enjoy the Collateral (other than monies and U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Article VIII and other than as set forth in the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture),
to alter or repair any Collateral so long as such alterations and repairs do not impair the Lien of the Security Documents hereon, and
to collect, receive, use, invest and dispose of the reversions, remainders, interest, rents, lease payments, issues, profits, revenues,
proceeds and other income thereof.
Section 10.7
Purchaser Protected.
No purchaser or grantee of
any property or rights purporting to be released shall be bound to ascertain the authority of the Trustee or Collateral Agent to execute
the release or to inquire as to the existence of any conditions herein prescribed for the exercise of such authority so long as the conditions
set forth in Section 10.5 have been satisfied.
Section 10.8
Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the Collateral Agent Under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing herein shall require the Collateral Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, or to be responsible for maintaining
the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and
the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Security Documents) and such responsibility shall be solely
that of the Company.
Article XI
NOTE
GUARANTEES
Section 11.1
Note Guarantees.
(a) Each
Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Notes and obligations of the Company hereunder
and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee on behalf of such
Holder, that: (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that would become due but for
the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), and all other obligations of the Company
to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, 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 of any such other obligations, the
same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise. Each of the Note Guarantees of the Guarantors shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
(b) Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that 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 with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
(c) Each
Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and all
demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in such Note and such Note Guarantee or as provided for in this Indenture. Each of the Guarantors
hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated
Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of,
or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors
to enforce such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor
agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented
by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes,
or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account
of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted
to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.
(d) If
any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee
or such Holder, the Note Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force
and effect. This paragraph (d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Trustee or any
Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned. This paragraph (d) shall survive the termination of this Indenture.
(e) Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, 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 VI for the purposes of the Note Guarantee
of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such
Guarantor.
Section 11.2
[Reserved].
Section 11.3
Severability.
In case any provision of
any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.4
Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability.
Each Guarantor and by its
acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute
a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee,
the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited
to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor 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 its Note Guarantee, result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee
not becoming voidable under applicable Bankruptcy Law relating to fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance.
Section 11.5
Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.
Subject to Section 11.6,
a Guarantor (other than the Company) may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with
or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person unless:
| (1) | immediately after giving effect to such
transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; |
| (A) | the Person acquiring the property in any
such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
(if other than such Guarantor) (the “Successor Guarantor”) assumes all
the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture
in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D; or |
| (B) | the Net Cash Proceeds of any such sale or
other disposition are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10;
and |
| (3) | in the case of any transaction pursuant
to subclause (2)(A) above, |
| (A) | such Guarantor or the Successor Guarantor,
as applicable, causes such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be executed, delivered,
filed and recorded, as applicable, in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable
law to preserve and protect the Lien of the Security Documents on the Collateral owned by
or transferred to the Successor Guarantor; |
| (B) | the Collateral owned by or transferred to
such Guarantor or the Successor Guarantor, as applicable, shall (a) continue to constitute
Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents, (b) be subject to the Note
Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the
Notes, and (c) not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Collateral Liens; |
| (C) | the property and assets of the Person which
is merged or consolidated with or into such Guarantor or the Successor Guarantor, as applicable,
to the extent that they are property or assets of the types which would constitute Collateral
under the Security Documents, shall be treated as after-acquired property and such Guarantor
or the Successor Guarantor shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause
such property and assets to be made subject to the Note Lien of the Security Documents in
the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture; and |
| (4) | the Company delivers, or causes to be
delivered, to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (upon
which the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely), each stating that
such sale, other disposition, consolidation or merger complies with the requirements of this
Indenture. |
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance and upon the assumption by the Successor Guarantor, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, of
the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, such Successor Guarantor shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named
herein as a Guarantor. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture
as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Note Guarantees
had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles
IV and V, and notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of
the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.
Section 11.6
Release of a Guarantor.
The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor
and its obligations under the Note Documents shall be automatically and unconditionally released:
(a) in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger,
consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 or Section 5.1;
(b) in
connection with any sale, issuance or other disposition of Equity Interests of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before
or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale, issuance or other disposition
does not violate Section 4.10 and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of such sale, issuance
or other disposition;
(c) if
the Company designates that Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

receipt by the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Guarantor has met the definition of an Excluded Subsidiary;

discharge or termination by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such guarantee or direct obligations;
(f) upon
the release of such Guarantor from its Note Guarantee with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance
with Article IX; or
(g) upon
legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or Discharge of this Indenture under Article VIII.
Upon any release of a Guarantor
from its Note Guarantee, such Guarantor shall also be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the Security
Documents. At the Company’s request and expense, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any instrument evidencing the release of
any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee pursuant to this Section 11.6.
Section 11.7
Benefits Acknowledged.
Each Guarantor acknowledges
that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its Guarantee
and waivers pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 11.8
Future Guarantors.
Each Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company organized under the laws of the United States, any political subdivision thereof, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia that is required to Guarantee the Notes (and thereby become a Guarantor) after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.17
shall promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D,
pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee, on a senior secured basis, all of the Company’s Obligations
under the Notes upon the terms set forth in this Indenture and (ii) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a joinder agreement
to each of the applicable Security Documents defining the terms of the security interests that secure payment and performance when due
of the Notes, and take all actions required by the Security Documents to cause the Note Liens created thereunder to be duly perfected
in accordance with applicable law, including the execution and delivery of other applicable Security Documents and the filing of financing
statements in the jurisdictions of incorporation or formation of such Guarantor and where such Guarantor’s assets are located.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
and an Officer’s Certificate (upon which the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely) to the effect that
such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Guarantor and that such supplemental indenture is
a legally valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such
other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request (subject to customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications).
Section 11.9
Subordination of TLM Equipment, LLC’s Guarantee.
Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each of the Company and the Guarantors, for itself and its successors, and each Holder agrees that the payment by TLM
Equipment, LLC (“TLM Equipment”) of all Obligations with respect to its Note Guarantee is subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations under the ABL Credit Facility. The Trustee is authorized and shall take
such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Section 11.9. No provision of
this Section 11.9 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder.
Upon any payment or distribution
of the assets of TLM Equipment to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution, or in a reorganization, of TLM Equipment,
or, in each case, any similar proceeding relating to TLM Equipment or its property, the holders of Obligations under the ABL Credit Facility
shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash with respect to the assets or property of TLM Equipment before Holders of the Notes
shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the assets or property of TLM Equipment.

in person or by agent duly appointed in writing (including signatures in electronic, digital or other machine-readable form); and,

the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

| (c) | Notice of any redemption or any redemption
in respect of the Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more
conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or
more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition,

or such redemption may not occur and such notice, upon written notice to the Trustee, may
be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or
waived) by the redemption date as stated in such notice, or by the redemption date as so
delayed; provided that in no event shall such redemption date be delayed to a
date later than sixty (60) days after the date on which the original redemption notice was
sent. The Company shall provide notice to the Trustee at least one Business Day prior to
the then scheduled redemption date of the delayed redemption date or the rescinding of the
redemption notice. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption

may be performed by another Person. |
| (d) | Unless the Company defaults in the payment
of the applicable redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. |
| (e) | If any Note is redeemed in part only,
a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the original Note shall
be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Subject
to any conditions, Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption.
On and after the redemption date and interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions
of the Notes called for redemption. |
| (f) | Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
notices of redemption may be sent more than sixty (60) days prior to a redemption date if
the notice is issued in connection with a Discharge of this Indenture. |
| (g) | The Company may at any time, and from
time to time, purchase Notes by means other than redemption, whether in open market transactions
or otherwise, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. |
| (7) | Mandatory Redemption. The Company is
not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. |
| (9) | Notice of Redemption. Subject to Section 3.3
of the Indenture, notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail (or, delivered
electronically if held by DTC) at least fifteen (15) days but not more than sixty (60) days
before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered
address and for the Notes registered to DTC, in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that
Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of $2,000
principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. |
| (10) | Repurchase at Option of Holder. |
| (a) | Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
the Company will be required to make an Offer to Purchase (a “Change of Control
Offer”) all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”)
in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to but not including the Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to the
Purchase Date). For purposes of the foregoing, a Change of Control Offer shall be deemed
to have been made if (i) within thirty (30) days following a Change of Control, the
Company commences an Offer to Purchase all outstanding Notes at the Purchase Price and (ii) all
Notes validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased
in accordance with the terms of such Offer to Purchase. Any Change of Control Offer will
be conducted in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 3.8 of the Indenture. |
| (b) | If the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale, any Net Cash Proceeds therefrom that are not applied
or invested as provided in the third paragraph of Section 4.10 of the Indenture within
365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from such applicable Asset Sale will
constitute Excess Proceeds. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million,
within thirty days thereof, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase (“Asset Sale
Offer”) to all Holders and all holders of Pari Passu Debt containing provisions
similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
with the proceeds of sales of assets, in each case, equal to the maximum principal amount
of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.
The offer price in any such Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of purchase,
and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset
Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited
by the Indenture and such remaining amount shall not be added to any subsequent Excess Proceeds
for any purpose under the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such
other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds,
the Trustee will select the Notes and the Company will select such other Pari Passu Debt
to be purchased on a pro rata basis as between the Notes and Pari Passu Debt. Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
Any Asset Sale Offer will be conducted in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 3.8
of the Indenture. |
| (c) | Holders that are the subject of a Change
of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer (each, an “Offer to Purchase”),
will receive notice of an Offer to Purchase from the Company prior to any related Purchase
Date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form titled “Option
of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below. |
| (11) | Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of the Notes may be registered and the
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 Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted
by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion
of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed
in part. Also, the Company and the Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to
register the transfer of or to exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of
fifteen (15) days before the day of any mailing of a notice of redemption under Section (6) hereof
and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing, (B) to register the transfer
of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (C) to register the transfer of or to
exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. |
| (12) | Persons Deemed Owners. The registered
Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. |
| (13) | Discharge and Defeasance. Subject
to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors at any time
shall be entitled to terminate some or all of their obligations under the Indenture and the
Notes or the Note Guarantees, as applicable, if the Company irrevocably deposits with the
Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. Dollars, non-callable U.S.
Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, for the payment of principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may
be; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable
Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent
that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as
of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any
such amount, the “ Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited
with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall
be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with
the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium
Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption). |
| (14) | Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.
The Indenture, the Notes or any Note Document may be amended or supplemented as provided
in the Indenture. |
| (15) | Defaults and Remedies. The Events
of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.1 of the Indenture. If an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) of
the Indenture with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such
case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Notes, premium, if any, and any
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however,
that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind
and annul such acceleration if (i) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment
of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided
in the Indenture and (ii) such rescission or annulment would not conflict with any decree
of judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. |
|
In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes
because an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(f) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the declaration
of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering
such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(f) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within thirty (30) Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect
thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes. |
|
If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(8) occurs with respect to the Company, the principal amount of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part
of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on, any Note) if the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the
Holders. |
| (16) | Trustee Dealings with the Company. The
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. |
| (17) | No Recourse Against Others. No past,
present or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, incorporator or
stockholder of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, will have any personal liability
for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor by reason of his, her or its status as
such director, officer, employee, stockholder, general partner, limited partner or incorporator,
under the Note Documents, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases
all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance
of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the U.S. federal
securities laws or other corporate laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver
is against public policy. |
| (18) | Authentication. This Note shall not
be valid until authenticated by the signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. |
| (19) | Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations
may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common),
TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship
and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act). |
| (20) | CUSIP, ISIN Numbers. Pursuant
to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures,
the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP, ISIN
or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to the 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. |
The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written
request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

THE WOODLANDS, Texas—November 1, 2023—Arrow Bidco,
LLC (the “Issuer”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect subsidiary of Target Hospitality Corp. (“Target
Hospitality”, “Target”, or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TH), today announced the settlement of the previously
announced offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of its outstanding 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the
“Existing Notes”) for cash and for the Issuer’s new 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “New Notes”)
and solicitation of consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the “Consent Solicitation).
The Exchange Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 30,
2023 (the “Expiration Date”). Approximately $181.4 million of Existing Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
as of the early exchange date and withdrawal deadline, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 13, 2023, with
no additional valid tenders of Existing Notes received thereafter. In total, approximately $181.4 million Existing Notes were exchanged
by the Issuer on November 1, 2023 (the “Settlement Date”).
The completion of the Exchange Offer is a continuation of the Company’s
focused commitment to strengthening its balance sheet, while optimizing financial flexibility. Target anticipates continued progress towards

in New Notes and paid approximately $2.7 million in cash to eligible holders whose Existing Notes were accepted for exchange in the Exchange
Offer. Holders whose Existing Notes were accepted for exchange also received a cash payment representing interest that has accrued from
