 FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of April 12, 2012 (this
“Supplemental Indenture”), among HD Supply, Inc. (the “Company”), as issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture referred to below (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and Wilmington Trust,
National Association, as Trustee under the Indenture referred to below. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as note collateral agent, are
party to an Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”), relating to the issuance from time to time by the Company of senior secured second priority notes in
series; 
 WHEREAS, Section 901(6) of the Indenture provides that the Company may provide for the issuance of Notes
of any series as permitted by Section 301 therein; 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes (as
defined herein), the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture to establish the forms and terms of the 2020 Notes as hereinafter described; and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Indenture, the parties hereto are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental
Indenture to amend the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 

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 so 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. 
 2. Title of Notes. There shall be a series of Notes of the Company designated the “11% Senior
Secured Second Priority Notes due 2020” (the “2020 Notes”). 

  
 2 








 3. Maturity Date. The final Stated Maturity of the 2020 Notes shall be April 15,
2020. 
 4. Interest and Interest Rates. Interest on the Outstanding principal amount of 2020 Notes will accrue at the
rate of 11% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on October 15, 2012, to holders of record on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1,
respectively (each such April 1 and October 1, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on the 2020 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid,
from April 12, 2012, except that interest on any Additional 2020 Notes (as defined below) issued on or after the first Interest Payment Date (and Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) will accrue (or will be deemed to have accrued) from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid on such Additional 2020 Notes, from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Additional 2020 Notes (or if
the date of issuance of such Additional 2020 Notes is an Interest Payment Date, from such date of issuance); provided that if any 2020 Note and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefore are surrendered for exchange on or after a record
date for an Interest Payment Date that will occur on or after the date of such exchange, interest on such Note received in exchange thereof will accrue from such Interest Payment Date. 

5. No Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes that may be authenticated and
delivered and Outstanding under the Indenture is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes shall initially be $675 million. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue Additional Notes
having the same terms and conditions as the 2020 Notes in all respects or in all respects except for issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first date on which interest accrues and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional Notes
issued in this manner will be consolidated with, and will form a single series with, the 2020 Notes (any such Additional Notes, “Additional 2020 Notes”), unless otherwise specified for Additional Notes in an applicable Notes
Supplemental Indenture, or otherwise designated by the Company, as contemplated by Section 301 of the Indenture. 

6. Redemption. (a) The 2020 Notes will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from
time to time on and after April 15, 2016 and prior to maturity at the applicable redemption price set forth below. Such redemption may be made upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address and the Company shall
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, in each case in accordance with Section 1005 of the Indenture. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and
the performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption and notice may, in the 

  
 3 








 
Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control. The 2020 Notes will be so
redeemable at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the relevant Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date
to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 307 of the Indenture), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set forth below: 

 

					
	 Redemption Period
	  	Price	 
	 2016
	  	 	105.500	% 
	 2017
	  	 	102.750	% 
	 2018 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (b) In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to April 15, 2015, the Company at its
option may redeem 2020 Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional 2020 Notes, or any other Additional Notes of the same series
as the 2020 Notes), with funds in an equal aggregate amount (the “Redemption Amount”) not exceeding the aggregate proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount
thereof) of 111.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date pursuant to
Section 307 of the Indenture); provided, however, that an aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes equal to at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes (including the principal amount of any
Additional 2020 Notes, or any other Additional Notes of the same series as the 2020 Notes) must remain outstanding immediately after each such redemption. 
 The Company may make such redemption upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, and the Company shall notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed, in each case in accordance with Section 1005 of the Indenture (but in no event more than 180 days after the completion of the related Equity Offering). The Company may provide in such notice that payment
of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering, and any such
redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the completion of the related Equity Offering. 

(c) At any time prior to April 15, 2016, 2020 Notes may also be redeemed in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at a
price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but 

  
 4 








 
unpaid interest, if any, to, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date
pursuant to Section 307 of the Indenture). Such redemption may be made upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, and the Company shall notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed, in each case in accordance with Section 1005 of the Indenture. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to
such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of
Control. 
 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to an 2020 Note at any Redemption Date, the greater of
(i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2020 Note and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such Redemption Date of (1) the redemption price of such 2020 Note on April 15, 2016 (such
redemption price being that described in Section 6(a)), plus (2) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such 2020 Note through such date (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date),
computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such 2020 Note on such Redemption Date. Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Company or on behalf of
the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to a Redemption Date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation 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 such 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 April 15, 2016; provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to such date is not equal to the constant maturity of a
United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury
securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to such date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one
year shall be used. 
 7. Section 409. Section 409(c) of the Indenture shall apply without modification
to 2020 Notes. 
 8. Form. The 2020 Notes shall be issued substantially in the form set forth, or referenced, in
Article II of the Indenture, and either Exhibit A or Exhibit B annexed to the Indenture, in each case as provided for in Section 201 of the Indenture (as such form may be modified in accordance with
Section 301 of the Indenture).
