2021 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1

This 2021 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1, dated June 22, 2016 (this “2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture”), is made and entered into among Diamond 1 Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco 1”), Diamond 2 Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco 2” and, together with Finco 1, the “Fincos”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Base Indenture referred to below.

RECITALS

A. Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture, dated June 22, 2016, among the Fincos and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture” and, together with this 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) provides that, without the consent of Holders of any series of Notes, the Fincos and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to establish the form or terms of Initial Notes of any series pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture.

B. The Fincos desire to issue $1,625,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), and in connection therewith, the Fincos have duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture to set forth the terms and provisions of the 2021 Notes as required by the Base Indenture. This 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall supplement the Base Indenture insofar as it will apply only to the 2021 Notes issued hereunder (and not to any other series of Notes).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, as follows for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the 2021 Notes:

Section 1. 2021 Notes. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture, the terms and provisions of the 2021 Notes are as follows:

(a) The title of the 2021 Notes shall be “5.875% Senior Notes due 2021.”

(b) The 2021 Notes shall be initially limited to $1,625,000,000 aggregate principal amount. Subject to compliance with Section 4.09 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2021 Notes, increase such aggregate principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue. The 2021 Notes issued originally hereunder and any additional Notes of such series subsequently issued, shall be treated as a single class for purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes of such series will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Initial Notes of such series.

(c) The price at which the 2021 Notes shall be issued to the public is 100.000%.

(d) The Stated Maturity for the 2021 Notes shall be on June 15, 2021. The 2021 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments prior to the Stated Maturity.


(e) The rate at which the 2021 Notes shall bear interest shall be 5.875% per annum, as set forth in Section 1 of the form of 2021 Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Interest on the 2021 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from June 22, 2016; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2016. Each June 15 and December 15 in each year, commencing December 15, 2016, shall be an Interest Payment Date for the 2021 Notes. The June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the Record Date for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, even if such 2021 Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at a rate equal to the interest rate on the 2021 Notes to the extent lawful, and the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

(f) Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2021 Notes represented by one or more Global Notes initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) or its nominee with respect to the 2021 Notes shall be made by the Issuers through the Trustee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be.

(g) The 2021 Notes shall be redeemable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 2 hereof and (to the extent they do not conflict with Section 2 hereof) the terms and provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture.

(h) There shall be no mandatory sinking fund for the payments of the 2021 Notes.

(i) The 2021 Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Notes deposited with the Depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary. The 2021 Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture.

(j) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the Trustee for the 2021 Notes.

(k) Article 10 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2021 Notes.

(l) To the extent not set forth otherwise herein, the provisions of Article 2 of the Base Indenture are applicable.

Section 2. Optional Redemption of the 2021 Notes.

(a) At any time prior to June 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the 2021 Notes, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus the 2021 Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders of 2021 Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date.

(b) On and after June 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the 2021 Notes to

(c) At any time prior to June 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, on one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes (including Additional Notes of such series) issued under the Indenture at a Redemption Price (as calculated by Covenant Parent) equal to (i) 105.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof (the “2021 Equity Claw Redemption Amount”), with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings to the extent such net cash proceeds are received by or contributed to an Issuer, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date; provided that (a) at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes originally issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date (but excluding any Additional Notes of such series issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (b) each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering; provided, further, that the aggregate of the 2021 Equity Claw Redemption Amount and the 2024 Equity Claw Redemption Amount (as defined in the 2024 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of June 22, 2016, among the Fincos and the Trustee) shall not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds from an Equity Offering being used to effect a redemption in connection therewith.

(d) In connection with any tender offer for the 2021 Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2021 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2021 Notes in such tender offer and the Issuers, or any third party approved in writing by Covenant Parent making such tender offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchases all of the 2021 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem (with respect to the Issuers) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all 2021 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to each other Holder in such tender offer (which may be less than par) plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date or purchase date, subject to the right of Holders of the 2021 Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date or purchase date.

(e) A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.

Any redemption pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

 

-3-


Section 3. Definitions.

(a) “2021 Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any 2021 Note on any Redemption Date, the greater of:

 

  (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2021 Note; and

 

  (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such Redemption Date of (i) the redemption price of such 2021 Note at June 15, 2018 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 2(b) herein), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such 2021 Note through June 15, 2018 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the Redemption Date), computed by Covenant Parent on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the 2021 Treasury Rate as of such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the principal amount of such 2021 Note.

Calculation of the 2021 Applicable Premium will be made by Covenant Parent and such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

(b) “2021 Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by Covenant Parent, as of any Redemption Date, the yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to June 15, 2018; provided, however, that if the period from such Redemption Date to June 15, 2018 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.

Section 4. Governing Law. THIS 2021 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 5. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

Section 6. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of 2021 Notes. The recitals contained herein and in the 2021 Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Fincos, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture or of the 2021 Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuers of 2021 Notes or the proceeds thereof.
