which is hereby acknowledged, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Defined Terms. As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as therein defined. The words
“herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.








 SECTION 2. Amendments to the Indenture. The Indenture shall hereby be amended as
follows: 
 (a) The definition of “First-Priority After-Acquired Property” in Section 1.01 of the Indenture is
hereby amended and restated to read as follows: 
 “First-Priority After-Acquired Property” means any property (other
than the initial collateral) of Holdings, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor that secures any Secured Bank Indebtedness and ABL Obligations, other than any Excluded Assets. 

(b) The definition of “First Priority Lien Obligations” in Section 1.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the
following sentence at the end thereof: 
 “Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “First-Priority Lien
Obligations” shall exclude ABL Obligations; provided that references in each of: 
 (i) Section 4.01(b)(i) and
the second proviso in Section 4.01(b)(xiv), 
 (ii) Section 9.01(v), 

(iii) Section 11.11(c) and the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 11.01(a), and 

(iv) in the definition of “Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio” 

to First-Priority Lien Obligations shall, in each case, include ABL Obligations.” 

(c) Section 4.06(b)(i) of the Indenture is hereby amended by striking the “or” before clause (E) and adding the
following at the end thereof: 
 “or (F) if such proceeds are from an Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral (including
indirect Asset Sales of ABL Priority Collateral due to the sale of the Capital Stock of a Person), any Indebtedness constituting ABL Obligations.” 
 (d) Section 4.12 of the Indenture is modified by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: 
 “In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, Liens may secure ABL Obligations to the extent provided in, and subject to, Section 12.03.” 

(e) Section 4.14 of the Indenture is modified by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the acquisition by the Issuer, Holdings or any other Guarantor of any First-Priority
After-Acquired Property consisting of ABL Priority Collateral, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall only be required to grant junior priority liens on such Collateral to secure the Notes (and only take actions with respect to the granting of such
liens that are otherwise consistent with actions required to be taken by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent).” 







 (f) Section 9.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by amending and restating the final
sentence thereof to read as follows: 
 “In addition, to the extent permitted by the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and
the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any amendment, waiver or consent to any of the collateral documents with respect to the First Priority Lien Obligations under the Credit Agreement or the ABL Obligations shall apply automatically to the comparable
Security Documents with respect to the Notes to the extent set forth therein.” 
 (g) Sections 11.03(a) of the Indenture is
hereby amended by amending and restating clause (7) as follows and adding a new clause (9) as set forth below: 

“(7) in respect of the property and assets of a Guarantor that at any time is not subject to a Lien securing any other
First-Priority Lien Obligations at such time (provided that if such property and assets is subsequently subject to a Lien securing any other First-Priority Lien Obligations (other than Excluded Assets), such property and assets shall subsequently
constitute Collateral hereunder) other than (x) if such release is in connection with a release or discharge by or as a result of payment in respect of the Credit Agreement or (y) if such release is due to a release of Liens by lenders
under the Credit Agreement, at any time that Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement does not constitute a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness constituting First Priority Lien Obligations outstanding at such time;”

 “(9) in respect of any property and assets of the Issuer or a Guarantor that would constitute ABL Priority Collateral
but is at such time not subject to a Lien securing ABL Obligations, other than any assets or property that cease to be subject to a Lien securing ABL Obligations in connection with a release or discharge by or as a result of payment in full and
termination of the ABL Facility; provided that if such property and assets are subsequently subject to a Lien securing ABL Obligations (other than Excluded Assets), such property and assets shall subsequently constitute Collateral
hereunder.” 
 SECTION 3. Intercreditor Agreement. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to enter into the
ABL Intercreditor Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (which such intercreditor agreement constitutes the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement” as defined in and contemplated by the definition of such term in
Section 12.04 of the Indenture). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in Section 4.05(c)(2), Section 6.10, Article IX and Article XI of the Indenture shall also refer to the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement. The ABL Facility (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) in effect on the date hereof is hereby designated by Holdings, as of the date hereof, as an “ABL Facility” under and as defined in the Indenture.

 SECTION 4. Collateral Documents. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to enter into the collateral documents
