 Issuance of Securities 
 SECTION 1.1. Issuance of Notes; Principal
Amount; Maturity; Title.  
 (1) On March 28, 2013, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall authenticate, the Initial Notes substantially in the form set forth in Section 3.2 below, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Base Indenture and
this First Supplemental Indenture, and with such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable tax laws or the rules of any securities exchange or
Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by the execution of such Notes. 
 (2) The Initial Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 and shall mature on March 30, 2043 (the “Stated
Maturity”), unless the Notes are redeemed prior to that date as described in Section 5.1. The aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed $400,000,000, except for Notes issued, authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base
Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered. The Company may without the consent of the Holders, issue additional Notes hereunder as part of the same series and on the same terms and conditions (and having the same
Guarantors) and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Initial Notes, but may be offered at a different offering price or have a different issue date, initial interest accrual or initial interest payment date (“Additional Notes”);
provided that if any Additional Notes are issued at a price that causes such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and regulations of the United States Department of Treasury thereunder (the “Code”), such Additional Notes may not have the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes. 

(3) The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (4) Pursuant to the terms hereof and Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company
hereby creates a series of Securities designated as the “5.625% Senior Notes due 2043” of the Company (as amended or supplemented from time to time, that are issued under the Indenture, including both the Initial Notes and the Additional
Notes, if any, the “Notes”), which Notes shall be deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Base Indenture. 
 SECTION 1.2. Interest.  
 (1) Interest on a Note will accrue at the per
annum rate of 5.625%, from and including the date specified on the face of such Note to, but excluding, the date on which the principal thereof is paid, deemed paid, or made available for payment and, in each case, will be paid on the basis of a
360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 (2) The Company shall pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on March 30
and September 30 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 30, 2013. 

(3) Interest shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders of the Notes after the close of business on the
Regular Record Date. 
 (4) Amounts due on the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date of the Notes will be payable at the
Corporate Trust Office. The Company shall make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest or the Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event in respect of the Notes in book-entry form to DTC in immediately
available funds, while disbursement of such payments to owners of beneficial interests in Notes in book-entry form will be made in accordance with the procedures of DTC and its participants in effect from time to time. The Company may at any time
designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that the Company shall be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment
for the Notes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a Note. However, the Company may require Holders of the Notes to pay any taxes or other governmental charges in connection with a
transfer or exchange of Notes. 
 (5) If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, or earlier Redemption Date or Repurchase
Price Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day in The City of New York, the Company shall make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase
Event on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date or
Repurchase Price Payment Date, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day. 
 SECTION 1.3. Relationship with
Base Indenture.  
 The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly made,

 Carlyle Holdings II Finance L.L.C., a limited liability company duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the First Supplemental Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of              United States Dollars (U.S.$             
) on March 30, 2043 and to pay interest thereon, from March 28, 2013, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date, which shall be
March 30 and September 30 of each year, commencing September 30, 2013, at the per annum rate of 5.625%, or as such rate may be adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment. 
 The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in
the First Supplemental Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the day that is 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date
(whether or not a Business Day). Except as otherwise provided in the First Supplemental Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Notes not less
than 10 days prior to the Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 Payment of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on this Note and the Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event will be made at the Corporate Trust Office, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. With respect to Global Securities, the Company will make such payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to DTC, or its nominee, as registered owner of the
Global Securities. With respect to certificated Notes, the Company will make such payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a United States Dollar account maintained in New York, New York to each Holder of an aggregate principal
amount of Notes in excess of U.S. $5,000,000 that has furnished wire instructions in writing to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date. If a Holder of a certificated Note (i) does not furnish such wire
instructions as provided in the preceding sentence or (ii) holds U.S. $5,000,000 or less aggregate principal amount of Notes, the Company will make such payments by mailing a check to such Holder’s registered address. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

accordance with the terms thereof, the “Base Indenture” and herein with the 

  
 13 









 
First Supplemental Indenture, collectively, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which 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. The aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed $400,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount, except for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered. The First Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that Additional Notes may be issued thereunder. 
 All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Note and the Indenture,
the provisions of the Indenture shall govern. 
 2. Optional Redemption. At any time prior to Maturity, the Company may
at its option redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior notice, at a redemption price in cash equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of any Notes being redeemed and
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

3. Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option
to redeem the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a
repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 of the First Supplemental Indenture. 

4. Global Security. If this Note is a Global Security, then, in the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Note,
including an exchange, transfer, redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Note in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures. 
 5. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal
of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Notes shall terminate. 

  
 14 









 No Holder of Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder (except actions for payment of overdue principal of, and premium, if any, or
interest on such Notes in accordance with its terms), unless (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a an Event of Default and the continuance thereto with respect to the Notes, specifying an Event of Default, as
required under the Indenture; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own
name as Trustee under the Indenture; (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the
Trustee has failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day
period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the
manner provided in the Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 
 The foregoing shall not apply
to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest hereon, on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

6. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and

principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance
by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. Certain modifications or
amendments to the Indenture require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. 
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair (without the consent of the Holder hereof) the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such Subsidiaries, without
providing that the Notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other indebtedness of, or guarantee by, the Credit Parties ranking equally with the Notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the Notes or
thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities for so long
as such other indebtedness is so secured. This Section 6.1 shall not limit the ability of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other than the voting stock or profit

 SECTION 6.2. Obligation to Offer
to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.  
 (1) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the
Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes pursuant to Article V, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes
repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Repurchase Price”). 
 (2) In connection with any
Change of Control related to a Change of Control Repurchase Event and any particular reduction in the rating on the Notes, the Company shall request from the Rating Agencies each such Rating Agency’s written confirmation that such


  
 18 









 
reduction in the rating on the Notes was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control
(whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of any Below Investment Grade Rating Event). The Company shall promptly deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying as to whether or not such
confirmation has been received or denied. 
 (3) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the
Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall give notice to each Holder of Notes, with a written copy to the Trustee. Such notice shall state: 

(i) a description of the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase
Event;

(iii) the Repurchase Price and the date on which the Repurchase Price will be paid, which date shall be a Business Day
that is no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Repurchase Price Payment Date”); and 

(iv) if the notice is given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, a statement that the offer to

 (4) 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 the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes,
the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict. 

(5) On the Repurchase Price Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

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

 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Repurchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions
of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly
accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased. 

  
 19 









 The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Repurchase Price for
such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate (if applicable) and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes
surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (6) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes such an offer in
respect of the Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the
Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided under Section 5.2; provided that the Company has not failed to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date. 

SECTION 6.3. Financial Reports  
 Section 704 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the reports, information, and documents delivered under this Section 6.3. 

(1) For so long as Partnership is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company
shall provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), within 15 days after the Partnership files the same with the
Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Partnership may
file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Trustee may conclusively presume, and shall incur no liability in such presumption, that the Partnership has not filed any such reports, information,
documents and other reports with the Commission that are not available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system) unless and until it shall have received written notice from the Company to
the contrary. 
 (2) For so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding and have not become freely tradeable without
restrictions by non-affiliates of the Credit Parties pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act for the Company and, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), for the
Partnership (as if such rule applied to it); provided, however, that if any time the Partnership no longer directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties or guarantees the Notes, such information shall be provided for either
(i) the Credit Parties on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole or (ii) any Person that directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties and guarantees the Notes (in each case, as if such rule applied to such Persons).
The Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

(8) modify any of the provisions of this Section 7.2 or Section 512 or Section 1005 of the Base Indenture, except to

 (11) modify clauses (1) through
(10) above.

 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option, if any, to have this Section 8.1
