Section 4.02 Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, any Principal Property as an entirety, or any substantial portion of such property, with the intention of taking back a lease of such property, except a lease for a period of three years or less at the end of which it is intended that the use of such property by the lessee will be discontinued; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may sell any such Principal Property and lease it back for a longer period (i) if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions described above in clauses (a) through (o) under Section 4.01 to create a mortgage on the property to be leased securing Funded Debt (as defined below) in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt (as defined below) with respect to such sale and lease-back transaction without equally and ratably securing the outstanding debt securities or (ii) if (A) the Company promptly informs the Trustee of such transaction, (B) the net proceeds of such transaction are at least equal to the fair value (as determined by board resolution of the Company) of such property and (C) the Company causes an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale to be applied to the retirement, within 180 days after receipt of such proceeds, of Funded Debt incurred or assumed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (including the debt securities); provided further that, in lieu of applying all of or any part of such net proceeds to such retirement, the Company may, within 75 days after such sale, deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable trustee for cancellation either debentures or notes evidencing Funded Debt of the Company (which may include the outstanding debt securities) or of a Restricted Subsidiary previously authenticated and delivered by the applicable trustee, and not previously tendered for sinking fund purposes or called for a sinking fund or otherwise applied as a credit against an obligation to redeem or retire such notes or debentures, and an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company elects to deliver or cause to be delivered such debentures or notes in lieu of retiring Funded Debt as provided in this Indenture. If the Company shall so deliver debentures or notes to the applicable trustee and the Company shall duly deliver such Officers’ Certificate, the amount of cash which the Company will be required to apply to the retirement of Funded Debt under this provision shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of the then applicable optional redemption prices (not including any optional sinking fund redemption prices) of such debentures or notes or, if there are no such redemption prices, the principal amount of such debentures or notes; provided, that in the case of debentures or notes which provide for an amount less than the principal amount of such debentures or notes to be due and payable upon a declaration of the maturity of such debentures or notes, such amount of cash shall be reduced by the amount of principal of such debentures or notes that would be due and payable as of the date of such application upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity of such debentures or notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture pursuant to which such debentures or notes were issued.

FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE

Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2014, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 25, 2014 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors thereto (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $400,000,000.

Guarantees. The Notes are guaranteed by the Guarantors as set forth in the Indenture, which guarantees may be released under certain circumstances as set forth in the Indenture.

Optional Redemption. Prior to July 1, 2024, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to the applicable redemption date: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed; and (2) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the applicable redemption date), discounted to the applicable redemption date in accordance with customary market practice on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points.

On or after July 1, 2024, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

The redemption prices will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If the date of redemption is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest is payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company. Unless the Company Defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions thereof called for redemption.

Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the applicable series of the notes to be redeemed that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary market practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes.

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date: (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers selected by the Company.

Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, or a Primary Treasury Dealer, in which case the Company will substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) any other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are a Primary Treasury Dealer as selected by the Company.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company and the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that redemption date.

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first-class mail, or by electronic transmission in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate that complies with applicable legal requirements, if any, and in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

Except as set forth above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

EXECUTION VERSION

 

Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each affected series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

Restrictive Covenants.
