 Section 104. Incorporation by Reference of TIA. Whenever this Indenture refers
to a provision of the TIA, the provision is incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Indenture. This Indenture is subject to the mandatory provisions of the TIA, which are incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Indenture.
Any terms incorporated by reference in this Indenture that are defined by the TIA, defined by any TIA reference to another statute or defined by SEC rule under the TIA, have the meanings so assigned to them therein. The following TIA terms have the
following meanings: 
 “indenture securities” means the Notes. 

“indenture security holder” means a Noteholder. 

“indenture to be qualified” means this Indenture. 

“indenture trustee” or “institutional trustee” means the Trustee. 

“obligor” on the indenture securities means the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, and any successor or
other obligor on the indenture securities. 
 Section 105. Conflict with TIA. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the TIA that is required under the TIA to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that

Section 106. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Upon any application or request by the Company or by any other obligor
upon the Notes (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company or such other obligor (including any Subsidiary Guarantor), as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee
such certificates and opinions as may be required under the TIA. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the form of one or more Officer’s Certificates, if to be given by an Officer, or an Opinion of Counsel, if to be given by
counsel, and shall comply with the requirements of the TIA and any other requirements set forth in this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any such request or application as to which the furnishing of any Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular request or application, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (except for
certificates provided for in Section 406) shall include: 
 (1) a statement that the individual
signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; 

  
 53 









 (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (3) a
statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he or she made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

 (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied
with. 
 Section 107. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be
certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers to the effect that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such
counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person
is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

Section 108. Acts of Noteholders; Record Dates. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and,
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company, as the case may be. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 701) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, if made in the manner provided in this
Section 108. 

  
 54 









 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged
to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership or other legal entity other than an individual, on behalf of such corporation or partnership or entity, such certificate or affidavit
shall also constitute sufficient proof of such Person’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee
deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind the
Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 (e) (i) The Company may set any day as a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by
Holders of Notes, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next
paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such
Persons remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such
record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such
action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in
writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110. 
 (ii) The Trustee may set any day as a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of (A) any Notice of Default, (B) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 602,
(C) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 607(ii) or (D) any direction referred to in Section 612, in each case with respect to Notes. If any record date is set pursuant to this


  
 55 









 
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such
action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to
the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110. 
 (iii) With respect to
any record date set pursuant to this Section 108, the party hereto that sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later
day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Company or the Trustee, whichever such party is not setting a record date pursuant to this Section 108(e) in
writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this
Section 108, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as
provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
 (iv) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such
Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
 (v) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including the Depositary, that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and the Depositary, as the Holder of a Global Note, may provide its proxy or proxies to the
beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices. 
 (vi) The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by the Depositary entitled under the procedures of such
depositary to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly 

  
 56 









 
appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record
date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization direction, notice consent, waiver or other action, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

 Section 109. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Note Collateral Agent and Company. Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 

(1) the Trustee by any Holder, the Note Collateral Agent or by the Company or by any other obligor upon the Notes shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at 246 Goose Lane, Suite 105, Guilford, Connecticut 06437, Attention: Corporate Trust Department (telephone: (203) 453-4130; telecopier:
(203) 453-1183) or at any other address furnished in writing to the Company and the Note Collateral Agent by the Trustee, 
 (2) the Note Collateral Agent by any Holder, the Trustee or by the Company or by any obligor upon the Notes shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to
or with the Note Collateral Agent at 246 Goose Lane, Suite 105, Guilford, Connecticut 06437, Attention: Corporate Trust Department (telephone: (203) 453-4130; telecopier: (203) 453-1183) or at any other address furnished in writing to the
Trustee and the Company by the Note Collateral Agent, 
 (3) the Company by the Trustee, the Note Collateral
Agent or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company at HD Supply, Inc., 3100 Cumberland Boulevard, Suite 1480, Atlanta, GA 30339, Attention: General Counsel
(telephone: (770) 852-9000; telecopier: (770) 852-9466); with copies to Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Steven J. Slutzky, Esq. and Paul D. Brusiloff, Esq., (telephone:
(212) 909-6000; telecopier: (212) 909-6836), or at any other address furnished in writing to the Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent by the Company, or 

(4) the Company, the Note Collateral Agent or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different
addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 
 Section 110. Notices to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to
each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s 

  
 57 









 
address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by reason of any other cause, it
shall be impossible to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) shall constitute a sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this
Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Note (or its
designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary. 
 Section 111. Effect of Headings and Table of
Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 112. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements
of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Note Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 Section 113. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 114. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in
this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Paying Agent and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture. 
 Section 115. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE TRUSTEE, THE NOTE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE COMPANY, ANY OTHER OBLIGOR IN RESPECT OF THE NOTES AND (BY THEIR 

  
 58 









 
ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOTES) THE HOLDERS AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE NOTES. 
 Section 116. Legal Holidays. In any case
where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of interest or principal and
premium (if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at
the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. 
 Section 117. No
Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators and Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary of any thereof shall have any liability
for any obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantee, the Note Security Documents, or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any
such obligation or its creation. Each Noteholder, by accepting the Notes, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 

Section 118. Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are by this reference made a part hereof with
the same effect as if herein set forth in full. 
 Section 119. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 120. Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder, by its acceptance of Notes, (a) consents to the subordination of Liens on ABL Priority Collateral provided for in the Base
Intercreditor Agreement, (b) consents to the subordination of Liens on Collateral provided for in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions
of any Intercreditor Agreement and (d) authorizes and instructs the Note Collateral Agent to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement as “Second Lien Note Agent” thereunder and on behalf of such Holder. 

Section 121. Force Majeure. To the extent permitted by the TIA, in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for
any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil
or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services (it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable
best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances).

ARTICLE III  
 THE NOTES 
 Section 301. Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series.
The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding under this Indenture is not limited. The Notes may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Except as provided in Section 902, all
Notes (including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) will vote (or consent) as a class with the other Notes and otherwise be treated as Notes for all purposes of this Indenture. 

The following matters shall be established with respect to each series of Notes issued hereunder in a Notes Supplemental Indenture:

 (1) the title of the Notes of the series (which title shall distinguish the Notes of the series from all other
series of Notes); 
 (2) any limit (if any) upon the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the series that
may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (which limit shall not pertain to Notes 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, 312(c), 312(d) or 1008); 

  
 65 









 (3) the date or dates on which the principal of and premium, if any, on the
Notes of the series is payable or the method of determination and/or extension of such date or dates, and the amount or amounts of such principal and premium, if any, payments and methods of determination thereof; 

(4) the rate or rates at which the Notes of the series shall bear interest, if any, or the method of calculating and/or
resetting such rate or rates of interest, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue or the method by which such date or dates shall be determined, and the Interest Payment Dates on which any such interest shall be payable; 

(5) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, and other terms and conditions upon which Notes of
the series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, if the Company is to have the option; 
 (6) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of Notes of the series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of maturity thereof pursuant to
Section 602 or the method by which such portion shall be determined; and 
 (7) in the case of any
Notes, other than Initial Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes, whether Section 409(c) shall apply to such Notes without any modification, and if such Section shall not so apply, such provision or provisions
(if any) as shall apply in lieu thereof (it being understood that no such provision need be specified in the event that Section 409(c) shall not apply to such series of Notes). 
 The form of the Notes of such series, as set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto as the case may be, may be modified to reflect such matters as so established in such Notes Supplemental
Indenture. 
 Such matters may also be established in a Notes Supplemental Indenture for any Additional Notes issued hereunder
that are to be of the same series as any Notes previously issued hereunder. Notes that have the same terms described in the foregoing clauses (1) though (7) will be treated as the same series, unless otherwise designated by the Company.

 Section 302. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and only
in minimum denominations of $2,000 (the “Minimum Denomination”) and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 66 









 Section 303. Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall
be executed on behalf of the Company by one Officer of the Company. The signature of any such Officer on the Notes may be manual or by facsimile. 
 Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time an Officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office
prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of such Notes. 
 At any time and
from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Initial Notes for original
issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $950.0 million, (ii) Additional Notes in one or more series (which may be of the same series as any Notes previously issued hereunder, or of a different series) from time to time
for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company and (iii) Exchange Notes from time to time for issue in exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Notes or Initial Additional Notes, in each case specified
in clauses (i) through (iii) above, upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Company (an “Authentication Order”). Such Officer’s Certificate shall specify the amount of
Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, the “CUSIP”, “ISIN”, “Common Code” or other similar identification numbers of such Notes, if any, whether the Notes are to be Initial
Notes, Additional Notes or Exchange Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or Physical Notes and such other information as the Company may include or the Trustee may reasonably request. 

All Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication. 
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

Section 304. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and upon receipt of an
Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes of the same
series and tenor. 

  
 67 









 Section 305. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall cause to be kept at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Company may have one or more co-registrars. The term “Note
Registrar” includes any co-registrars. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as “Note Registrar” and
“Paying Agent” in connection with the Notes, until such time as it has resigned or a successor has been appointed. The Company may have one or more additional paying agents, and the term “Paying Agent” shall include any
additional Paying Agent. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Note Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of Notes. The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Note Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this
Indenture. Any such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a
Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 707. The Company or any wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company may act as Paying Agent
(except for purposes of Section 1102 or Section 1205) or Note Registrar. 
 Upon surrender for transfer
of any Note at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Indenture and applicable law, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to
be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 Every Note
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed, by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized
in writing. 

  
 68 









 No service charge shall be made for any registration, transfer or exchange of Notes, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption (or purchase) of Notes selected for redemption (or purchase) under Section 1004 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Note so selected for redemption
(or purchase) in whole or in part. 
 Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If a mutilated Note
is surrendered to the Note Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Company or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Note
Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform
Commercial Code and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Company. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to
protect the Trustee and (ii) the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Note Registrar, from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Note under this
Section 306, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. 
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably
with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 307. Payment of Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid


  
 69 









 
to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest specified in Section 4 of the
applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture. 
 Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes
Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause
(2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee
and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days
prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears
in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons
in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Note. 

  
 70 









 Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to
Section 307) interest on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 309. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption,
transfer, exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or
in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the
record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). 
 Section 310. Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise
specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 301, interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 311. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and
“Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee may use the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided,
however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes; that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Notes; and that any redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 Section 312.
Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to the account of an
Agent Member, and (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary. Neither the Company nor any agent of the Company shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made
on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or its
custodian, or under such Global Notes. The Depositary may be treated by the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and any agent of any of them as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, 

  
 71 









 
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee or any agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Note. The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture (including the Note Security Documents) or the Notes.

 (b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but, subject to the immediately
succeeding sentence, not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may not be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes unless (i) the Company has consented
thereto in writing, or such transfer or exchange is made pursuant to the next sentence, and (ii) such transfer or exchange is in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Sections
305 and 313. Subject to the limitation on issuance of Physical Notes set forth in Section 313(3), Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the relevant Global
Note, if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days; (ii) the Depositary
ceases to be registered as a “Clearing Agency” under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days; (iii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of
Physical Notes; or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes and the Trustee has received a written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Notes. 

(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial owners for
Physical Notes pursuant to Section 312(b), the Note Registrar shall record on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note
being transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and principal amount of authorized denominations. 

(d) In connection with a transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners for Physical Notes pursuant to
Section 312(b), the applicable Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the
Depositary, in exchange for its beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Rule 144A Physical Notes (in the case of any Rule 144A Global Note) or Regulation S Physical Notes (in the case of any
Regulation S Global Note), as the case may be, of authorized denominations. 
 (e) The transfer and exchange of a Global Note or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 313) and the procedures therefor of the Depositary.


  
 72 









 
Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a different Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an
interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as
long as it remains such an interest. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Note Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the
participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the relevant Global Note. Subject to Section 313, the Note Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the
account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. 

(f) Any Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 312(b) shall, unless such
exchange is made on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date applicable to such Note and except as otherwise provided in Section 203 and Section 313, bear the Private Placement Legend.

 Section 313. Special Transfer Provisions. 
 (1) Transfers to
Non-U.S. Persons. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note that is a Restricted Security to any Non-U.S. Person: The Note Registrar shall register such transfer if it complies with
all other applicable requirements of this Indenture (including Section 305) and, 
 (a) if
(x) such transfer is after the relevant Resale Restriction Termination Date with respect to such Note or (y) the proposed transferor has delivered to the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee a Regulation S
Certificate and, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, an opinion of counsel, certifications and other information satisfactory to the Company, and 
 (b) if the proposed transferor is or is acting through an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in a Global Note, upon receipt by the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee of
(x) the certificate, opinion, certifications and other information, if any, required by clause (a) above and (y) written instructions given in accordance with the procedures of the Note Registrar and of the Depositary;

 whereupon (i) the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer
of any Outstanding Physical Note) a decrease in the principal amount of the relevant Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial 

  
 73 









 
interest in the relevant Global Note to be transferred, and (ii) either (A) if the proposed transferee is or is acting through an Agent Member holding a beneficial
interest in a relevant Regulation S Global Note, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest being so transferred or (B) otherwise the Company shall execute and (upon receipt of an Authentication Order) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount. 

(2) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note
that is a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons): The Note Registrar shall register such transfer if it complies with all other applicable requirements of this Indenture (including Section 305) and,

 (a) if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form
of such Note stating, or has otherwise certified to the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided
for on the form of such Note stating, or has otherwise certified to Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee in writing, that it is purchasing such Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment
discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has
requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

 (b) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Note to be transferred consists of a Physical Note
that after transfer is to be evidenced by an interest in a Global Note or consists of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that after the transfer is to be evidenced by an interest in a different Global Note, upon receipt by the Note Registrar of
written instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Note Registrar’s procedures, whereupon the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the transferee
Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Note or such beneficial interest in such transferor Global Note to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Note so transferred or reflect on its books and
records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such transferor Global Note, as the case may be. 
 (3) Limitation
on Issuance of Physical Notes. No Physical Note shall be exchanged for a beneficial interest in any Global Note, except in accordance with Section 312 and this Section 313. 

A beneficial owner of an interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note (and, in the case of any Additional Notes for which no
Temporary Regulation S Global Note is issued, 

  
 74 









 
any Regulation S Global Note) shall not be permitted to exchange such interest for a Physical Note or (in the case of such interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note) an interest in a
Permanent Regulation S Global Note until a date, which must be after the Distribution Compliance Date, on which the Company receives a certificate of beneficial ownership substantially in the form of Exhibit C from such beneficial owner
(a “Certificate of Beneficial Ownership”). Such date, as it relates to a Regulation S Global Note, is herein referred to as the “Regulation S Note Exchange Date.” 

(4) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
Note Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Note Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement
Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the relevant Resale Restriction Termination Date with respect to such Notes, (ii) upon written request of the Company after there is delivered to the Note Registrar an opinion
of counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act,
(iii) with respect to a Regulation S Global Note (on or after the Regulation S Note Exchange Date with respect to such Regulation S Global Note) or Regulation S Physical Note, in each case with the agreement of the Company, or
(iv) such Notes are sold or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 

(5) Other Transfers. The Note Registrar shall effect and register, upon receipt of a written request from the Company to do so, a
transfer not otherwise permitted by this Section 313, such registration to be done in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of this Section 313, upon the furnishing by the proposed transferor or transferee of a
written opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that, and such other certifications or information as the Company may require (including, in the case of a transfer to an Accredited Investor (as
defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act), a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F) to confirm that, the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 A Note that is a
Restricted Security may not be transferred other than as provided in this Section 313. A beneficial interest in a Global Note that is a Restricted Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note other than
through a transfer in compliance with this Section 313. 
 (6) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing
the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this
Indenture. 
 The Note Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant
to Section 312 or this Section 313 (including all Notes 

  
 75 









 
received for transfer pursuant to Section 313). The Company shall have the right to require the Note Registrar to deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, copies of all
such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Note Registrar. 
 In connection with any transfer of any Note, the Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Company shall be entitled to receive, shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness
of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the certificates, opinions and other information referred to herein (or in the forms provided herein, attached hereto or to the Notes, or otherwise) received from any Holder and any transferee of any
Note regarding the validity, legality and due authorization of any such transfer, the eligibility of the transferee to receive such Note and any other facts and circumstances related to such transfer.

certain additional amounts of interest to the Holders of certain Initial Notes, as more particularly set forth in such Initial Notes. 
 (b) Under certain circumstances the Company may be obligated to pay certain additional amounts of interest to the Holders of certain Initial Additional Notes, as may be more particularly set forth in such
Initial Additional Notes. 
 (c) Prior to any Interest Payment Date on which any such additional interest is payable, the
Company shall give notice to the Trustee of the amount of any such additional interest due on such Interest Payment Date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine whether additional interest is payable or to confirm the amount
of additional interest that is in fact payable. 
 ARTICLE IV  

COVENANTS 

Section 401. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company shall duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Principal amount (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be considered paid on the date due if the Company shall have deposited
with the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company) as of 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the due date money in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal
amount (and premium, if any) and interest then due. At the option of the Company, payment of Interest on a Note may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated to the Company by the Person entitled thereto or by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register. 

Section 402. Maintenance of Office or Agency. (a) The Company shall maintain in the United States an office or agency
where Notes may be presented or surrendered 

  
 76 









 
for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee; provided, however, that legal service of process against the Company shall in no circumstances be
made at an office of the Trustee. 
 (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies
where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. 

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or its Agent, as such office or agency of the Company in
accordance with Section 305 hereof. 
 Section 403. Money for Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the
Company shall at any time act as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act. 
 If the Company is not acting as Paying Agent, it shall, on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City
time, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

If the Company is not acting as Paying Agent, the Company shall cause any Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to
the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 403, that such Paying Agent shall 

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
 (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; 

  
 77 









 (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and 
 (4)
acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Indenture and TIA relating to the duties, rights and liabilities of such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Subject to any applicable
abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after
such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 404. [Reserved]. 

Section 405. SEC Reports. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be required to be or remain subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the SEC (unless such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act or by the SEC), so long as the Notes are Outstanding, the annual reports, information,
documents and other reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or would be so required to file if the Company were so subject. If, at any time, any audited or reviewed financial statements
or information required to be included in any such filing are not reasonably available on a timely basis as a result of the Company’s accountants not being “independent” (as defined pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder), the Company may, in lieu of making such filing or transmitting or making available the information, documents and reports so required to be filed, elect to make a filing on an alternative form or transmit or make
available unaudited or unreviewed financial statements or information substantially similar to such required audited or reviewed financial statements or information, provided that (a) the Company shall in any event be required to
make such filing and so transmit or make available such audited or reviewed financial statements or information no later than the first anniversary of the date on which the same was otherwise required pursuant to the preceding provisions of this
paragraph (such initial 

  
 78 









 
date, the “Reporting Date”) and (b) if the Company makes such an election and such filing has not been made, or such information, documents and reports have not been
transmitted or made available, as the case may be, within 90 days after such Reporting Date, liquidated damages will accrue on the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum from the date that is 90 days after such Reporting Date to the earlier of
(x) the date on which such filing has been made, or such information, documents and reports have been transmitted or made available, as the case may be, and (y) the first anniversary of such Reporting Date (provided
that not more than 0.50% per annum in liquidated damages shall be payable for any period regardless of the number of such elections by the Company). The Trustee shall have no independent responsibility to determine if liquidated damages are due
or the amount of any such liquidated damages. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file or
cause to be filed with the SEC or transmit or make available (or to make any filing with the SEC that would be required to include) separate financial statements of any Subsidiary solely as a result of the inclusion of any class of securities of any
such Subsidiary in the Collateral. 
 The Company will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this
Section 405 if any Parent files and provides reports, documents and information of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods, and the Company is not required to file such reports, documents and
information separately under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (after giving effect to any exemptive relief) because of the filings by such Parent. The Company also will comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a).

 Subject to Article VII, delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this
Section 405 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt (or constructive receipt) of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). Subject to Article VII, the Trustee is not obligated to
confirm that the Company has complied with its obligations contained in this Section 405 to file such reports with the SEC or post such reports and information on its website. 

Section 406. Statement as to Default. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Company commencing with the Company’s fiscal year ending February 3, 2013, an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that to the best knowledge of the signer thereof (on behalf of the Company) the Company is or is not
in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture applicable to the Company (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be
in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such signer may have knowledge. To the extent required by the TIA, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall comply with TIA § 314(a)(4). The individual signing any
certificate given by any Person pursuant to this Section 406 shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of such Person, in compliance with TIA § 314(a)(4).

 Section 407. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company will not, and will
not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the
Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would be equal to or greater than 2.00 to 1.00, provided further that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries
that are not Subsidiary Guarantors shall not exceed $150.0 million at any one time outstanding.

amount at any time outstanding not exceeding in the aggregate the amount equal to (A) $2,100.0 million, plus (B) (x) the greater of $1,700.0 million and the Borrowing Base less (y) the aggregate principal
amount of Indebtedness Incurred by Special Purpose Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries and then outstanding pursuant to clause (ix) of this paragraph (b), plus (C) in the event of any refinancing of any such
Indebtedness, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing; 
 (ii) Indebtedness (A) of any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or (B) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that any such
Indebtedness owed to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be expressly subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of the obligor with respect to the Notes and all Subsidiary Guarantees and provided further
that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary to which such Indebtedness is owed, or other event, that results in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other
subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) will be deemed, in each case, an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof not permitted by this clause (ii); 

(iii) Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the Senior Unsecured Notes issued on the Issue Date (or issued in respect
thereof or in exchange therefor), any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clause (i) or (ii) above) outstanding on the Issue Date, any Indebtedness represented by Senior Unsecured Notes issued in connection with the

liability of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in violation of this Section 407), or (B) without limiting
Section 413, Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary arising by reason of any Lien granted by or applicable to such Person securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Indebtedness
Incurred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in violation of this Section 407);

connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Person; 
 (viii) Indebtedness of the

 (ix) Indebtedness (A) of a Special Purpose Subsidiary secured by
a Lien on all or part of the assets disposed of in, or otherwise Incurred in connection with, a Financing Disposition or (B) otherwise Incurred in connection with a Special Purpose Financing; provided that (1) such
Indebtedness is not recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Special Purpose Subsidiary (other than with respect to Special Purpose Financing Undertakings), (2) in the event such Indebtedness shall become
recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Special Purpose Subsidiary (other than with respect to Special Purpose Financing Undertakings), such Indebtedness will be deemed to be, and must be classified by the Company as,
Incurred at such time (or at the time initially Incurred) under one or more of the other provisions of this Section 407 for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so recourse, and (3) in the event that at any time thereafter

that is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including Indebtedness thereof Incurred in connection with any such acquisition, merger or consolidation), provided that on the date of such
acquisition, merger or consolidation, after giving effect thereto, either (1) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) above or (2) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of
the Company would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to giving effect thereto; and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to any such Indebtedness; 

(xii) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred as consideration in connection with any
acquisition of any assets (including Capital Stock), business or Person, or any merger or consolidation of any Person with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto, in an aggregate

 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any

Section 407) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of
credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness; (ii) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described
in paragraph (b) above, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness and may include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of such clauses (including in part under one such clause and in part
under another such clause); provided that any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 407 as limited by the proviso thereto, or clause (b)(xiii) of this Section 407 shall, at the Company’s
election, cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of such clause but shall be deemed Incurred for the purposes of paragraph (a) of this Section 407 from and after the first date on which such Restricted Subsidiary
could have Incurred such Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of this Section 407 without reliance on such clause; (iii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be
equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and (iv) the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of paragraph (b) above shall be determined after giving effect to
the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness. Any Indebtedness Incurred by the Company on the Issue Date under the Senior First Priority Notes, the Senior Term Facility or the Senior ABL Facility
shall be classified as Incurred under Section 407(b)(i). 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any
dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, provided that (x) the dollar-equivalent principal amount of any
such Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Issue Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign
currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being Incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date
of such refinancing, such dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount
(whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (z) the
dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to a Senior Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Company’s option,
(i) the Issue Date, (ii) any date on which any of the respective 

  
 83 









 
commitments under such Senior Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose
thereunder, or (iii) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on
the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 Section 408. [Reserved]. 
 Section 409. Limitation on Restricted
Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of its Capital Stock (including any such
payment in connection with any merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party) except (x) dividends or distributions payable solely in its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) and (y) dividends or

 (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net
Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) beginning on April 30, 2012 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which consolidated financial statements of the

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 409, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay any cash dividend or make any cash distribution on or in respect of the Company’s Capital Stock or purchase for cash or otherwise acquire for cash any Capital Stock of the Company or any

(x) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of the Company would have been equal to or less than 6.0 to 1.0 and (y) such payment is otherwise in compliance with this Section 409. The provisions of this
Section 409(c) shall apply so long as (i) any Initial Notes or any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor are outstanding or (ii) any series of Additional Notes issued pursuant to a Notes Supplemental
Indenture that specifies that this Section 409(c) shall apply to such Notes without any modification, or any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Additional Notes, are outstanding. If no such Notes are outstanding, the preceding

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, this Indenture shall not restrict any redemption or other payment by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary made as a Mandatory Principal Redemption (as defined in the Senior Unsecured Indenture) in respect of the Senior Unsecured Notes or any similar “AHYDO saver” provision of any other agreement or
instrument in respect of Senior Unsecured Indebtedness, and the Company’s determination in good faith of any Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount (as so defined) or the amount of any such similar “AHYDO saver” payment

Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) make any loans or advances to the Company or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is 

  
 89 









 
not a Subsidiary Guarantor, to a Subsidiary Guarantor or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Subsidiary Guarantor, to a Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that dividend or liquidation priority between classes of Capital Stock, or subordination of any obligation (including the application of any remedy bars thereto) to any other
obligation, will not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction), except any encumbrance or restriction: 
 (1) pursuant to an agreement or instrument in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, any Credit Facility, this Indenture, the Note Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Notes, the
Senior First Priority Note Documents, the Senior First Priority Notes, the Senior Unsecured Indenture, the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Senior Subordinated Indenture or the Senior Subordinated Notes;

Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or which agreement or instrument is assumed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition of assets from such
Person, as in effect at the time of such acquisition, merger or consolidation (except to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred to finance, or otherwise in connection with, such acquisition, merger or consolidation); provided that for
purposes of this clause (2), if a Person other than the Company is the Successor Company with respect thereto, any Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed, as the
case may be, by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when such Person becomes such Successor Company; 
 (3) pursuant to an agreement or instrument (a “Refinancing Agreement”) effecting a refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to, or that otherwise extends, renews, refunds, refinances
or replaces, an agreement or instrument referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 410 or this clause (3) (an “Initial Agreement”) or contained in any amendment, supplement or other modification to
an Initial Agreement (an “Amendment”); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the
Holders of the Notes than encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment relates (as determined in good faith by the Company); 

(4) (A) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that
is subject to a lease, license or similar contract, or the assignment or transfer of any lease, license or other contract, (B) by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property
or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, (C) contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent restricting

limited to leases and licenses) or in joint venture and other similar agreements, (H) that arises or is agreed to in the ordinary course of business and does not detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, (I) pursuant to Hedging Obligations entered into for bona fide hedging purposes or (J) pursuant to Bank Products Obligations;

 (5) with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary (or any of its property or assets), imposed pursuant to an
agreement entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (or the property or assets that are subject to such restriction) pending the closing of such
sale or disposition; 
 (6) by reason of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, or required by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their businesses; or 
 (7) pursuant to an agreement or instrument (A) relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 407
(i) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial
Agreements (as determined in good faith by the Company), or (ii) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good
faith by the Company) and either (x) the Company determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes or
(y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness, (B) relating to any sale of receivables by or Indebtedness of a Foreign
Subsidiary or (C) relating to Indebtedness of or a Financing Disposition by or to or in favor of any Special Purpose Entity.

(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming
responsibility for, any 

  
 91 









 
liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition, as such fair market
value shall be determined in good faith by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive (including as to the value of all noncash consideration), 
 (ii) in the case of any Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions) having a fair market value of $25.0 million or more, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor (excluding, in the
case of an Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions), any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not Indebtedness) received by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, and 
 (iii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash
from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) in accordance with paragraph (b) or (c) below, as applicable. 

(b) To the extent that such Net Available Cash is from an Asset Disposition of any Collateral, an amount equal to 100% of such Net
Available Cash is applied by the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows: 
 (A)
first, either (x) to the extent that such Net Available Cash is from an Asset Disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral, and to the extent that the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness under the Senior
ABL Facility or any other Indebtedness constituting ABL Obligations), to prepay, repay or purchase any such Indebtedness or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments) cash collateralize any such
Indebtedness within 450 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or (y) to the extent that the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness under
the Senior Term Facility or any other Indebtedness having Senior Lien Priority), to prepay, repay or purchase any such Indebtedness or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments) cash collateralize any
such Indebtedness within 450 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or (z) to the extent that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in
Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with an amount equal to Net Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 450 days from the later of the date of
such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or, if such investment in Additional Assets is a project authorized by the Board of Directors that will take longer than such 450 days to complete, the period of time
necessary to complete such project; 
 (B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash
after application in accordance with clause (A) above (such balance, the “Excess 

  
 92 









 
Collateral Proceeds”), to make an offer to purchase Notes and (to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, or is required by the terms thereof) to purchase,
redeem or repay any Additional Obligations of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or any other Indebtedness having Senior Lien Priority or Pari Passu Lien Priority, pursuant and subject to the conditions of this Indenture and the agreements
governing such other Indebtedness; and 
 (C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available
Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Indenture) any general corporate purpose (including but not limited to the repurchase,
repayment or other acquisition or retirement of any Senior Unsecured Indebtedness or Subordinated Obligations); 
 provided,
however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (y)(A) or (B) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan
commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 411(b), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be
required to apply any Net Available Cash or equivalent amount in accordance with this Section 411(b) except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions subject to this paragraph (b) or equivalent
amount that is not applied in accordance with this Section 411(b) exceeds $75.0 million. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and/or other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary validly tendered and not withdrawn
(or otherwise subject to purchase, redemption or repayment) in connection with an offer pursuant to Section 411(b)(B) exceeds the Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Excess Collateral Proceeds will be apportioned between such Notes and such
other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, with the portion of the Excess Collateral Proceeds payable in respect of such Notes to equal the lesser of (x) the Excess Collateral Proceeds amount multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the outstanding principal amount of the relevant other Indebtedness of the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary, and (y) the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn. 

(c) To the extent that such Net Available Cash is from an Asset Disposition of any assets not constituting Collateral (“Other
Assets”), an amount equal to 100% of such Net Available Cash is applied by the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows: 
 (A) first, either (x) to the extent that the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Credit Facility Indebtedness, any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor), to prepay, repay or purchase any 

  
 93 









 
such Indebtedness or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments) cash collateralize any such Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness owed
to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) within 450 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or (y) to the extent that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
elects, to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with an amount equal to Net Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 450 days from the
later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or, if such investment in Additional Assets is a project authorized by the Board of Directors that will take longer than such 450 days to complete, the
period of time necessary to complete such project; 
 (B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net
Available Cash after application in accordance with clause (A) above (such balance, the “Excess Other Proceeds”), to make an offer to purchase Notes and (to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, or is
required by the terms thereof) to purchase, redeem or repay any Additional Obligations of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or any other Indebtedness having Senior Lien Priority or Pari Passu Lien Priority, pursuant and subject to the
conditions of this Indenture and the agreements governing such other Indebtedness; and 
 (C) third, to
the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Indenture) any general corporate purpose
(including but not limited to the repurchase, repayment or other acquisition or retirement of any Senior Unsecured Indebtedness or Subordinated Obligations); 
 provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (B) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such
Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 411(c), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash or equivalent amount in
accordance with this Section 411(c) except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions subject to this Section 411(c) or equivalent amount that is not applied in accordance with this
paragraph (c) exceeds $75.0 million. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and/or other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary validly tendered and not withdrawn (or otherwise subject to purchase, redemption or repayment)
in connection with an offer pursuant to clause (B) above exceeds the Excess Other Proceeds, the Excess Other Proceeds will be apportioned between such Notes and such other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, with the portion
of the Excess Other 

  
 94 









 
Proceeds payable in respect of such Notes to equal the lesser of (x) the Excess Other Proceeds amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal
amount of such Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the outstanding principal amount of the relevant other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, and (y) the
aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn. 
 (d) For the purposes of clause (ii) of paragraph
(a) above, the following are deemed to be cash: (1) Temporary Cash Investments and Cash Equivalents, (2) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock of the Company) or any Restricted
Subsidiary and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition, (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary
that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in
connection with such Asset Disposition, (4) securities received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days,
(5) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (6) Additional Assets and (7) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in an Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause, not to exceed an aggregate amount at any time outstanding equal to the
greater of $125.0 million and 2.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

 (e) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Notes pursuant to
Section 411(b)(B) or Section 411(c)(B), the Company will be required to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Notes (the “Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of their
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the Notes tendered
pursuant to the Offer is less than the Net Available Cash allotted to the purchase of Notes, the remaining Net Available Cash will be available to the Company for use in accordance with Section 411(b)(B) or
Section 411(c)(B) (to repay other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) or Section 411(b)(C) or Section 411(c)(C). The Company shall not be required to make an Offer for Notes pursuant to
this Section 411 if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in Section 411(b)(A) or Section 411(c)(A), as applicable) is less than $75.0 million for any
particular Asset Disposition (which lesser amounts shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). No Note will be repurchased in part
if less than the Minimum Denomination in original principal amount of such Note would be left outstanding. 

  
 95 









 (f) For the purposes of Section 411(b) and Section 411(c),
(i) in the event of any Asset Disposition of Capital Stock of a Person that has any right, title or interest to or in assets constituting both Collateral and Other Assets, such Asset Disposition shall instead be deemed to be an Asset
Disposition of such assets, and the Company shall allocate the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition between the Collateral and the Other Assets in proportion to their respective fair market values as determined by the Company in good faith
(which determination shall be conclusive), (ii) any Asset Disposition of Capital Stock of any Person that has any right, title or interest to or in assets constituting only Other Assets will be subject to Section 411(c) and
not Section 411(b), and (iii) any Asset Disposition of Capital Stock of any Person that has any right, title or interest to or in assets constituting only Collateral will be subject to Section 411(b) and not
Section 411(c). 
 (g) The Company shall, not later than 45 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an
Offer pursuant to this Section 411, mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: (1) that an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of a portion of the Notes has occurred and that such Holder has the
right (subject to the prorating described below) to require the Company to purchase a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of purchase (subject to provisions in the applicable Indenture regarding the preservation of payment of interest rights); (2) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed); (3) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 411, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased; and (4) the amount of the Offer. If, upon the
expiration of the period for which the Offer remains open, the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holder exceeds the amount of the Offer, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments
as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of the Minimum Denomination or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof shall be purchased). 

(h) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 411. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 411, the
Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 411 by virtue thereof. 

Section 412. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an
“Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million unless (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not such an Affiliate and (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate


  
 96 









 
consideration in excess of $40.0 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Section 412(a),
any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in this Section 412(a) if (x) such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or (y) in
the event there are no Disinterested Directors, a fairness opinion is provided by a nationally recognized appraisal or investment banking firm with respect to such Affiliate Transaction. 

(b) The provisions of Section 412(a) will not apply to: 

(i) any Restricted Payment Transaction, 

(ii) (1) the entering into, maintaining or performance of any employment or consulting contract, collective
bargaining agreement, benefit plan, program or arrangement, related trust agreement or any other similar arrangement for or with any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of or to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any
Parent heretofore or hereafter entered into in the ordinary course of business, including vacation, health, insurance, deferred compensation, severance, retirement, savings or other similar plans, programs or arrangements, (2) payments,
compensation, performance of indemnification or contribution obligations, the making or cancellation of loans or any issuance, grant or award of stock, options, other equity-related interests or other securities, to any such employees, officers,
directors or consultants in the ordinary course of business, (3) the payment of reasonable fees to directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent (as determined in good faith by the Company, such Subsidiary or such
Parent), (4) any transaction with an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent in the ordinary course of business not involving more than $100,000 in any one case or (5) Management Advances
and payments in respect thereof (or in reimbursement of any expenses referred to in the definition of such term), 
 (iii) any transaction between or among any of the Company, one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, and/or one or more Special Purpose Entities, 

(iv) any transaction arising out of agreements or instruments in existence on the Issue Date (other than any Tax Sharing
Agreement or Management Agreement referred to in Section 412(b)(vii)), and any payments made pursuant thereto, 
 (v) any transaction in the ordinary course of business on terms that are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or senior management
of the Company, or are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Company, 

(vi) any transaction in the ordinary course of business, or approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, between the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company controlled by the Company that is a joint venture or similar entity, 

  
 97 









 (vii) (1) the execution, delivery and performance of any Tax
Sharing Agreement and any Management Agreement, and (2) payments to CD&R, Bain Capital or Carlyle or any of their respective Affiliates (w) of any and all out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Transactions,
(x) for any management consulting, financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities pursuant to the Management Agreements, provided that payments under this
clause (x) shall not exceed $7.5 million per calendar year, (y) in connection with any acquisition, disposition, merger, recapitalization or similar transactions, which payments are made pursuant to the Management Agreements or are
approved by a majority of the Board of Directors in good faith, and (z) of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services or activities, 

(viii) the Transactions, all transactions in connection therewith (including but not limited to the financing thereof),
the execution, delivery and performance of all agreements and instruments in connection with the Transactions, and all fees and expenses paid or payable in connection with the Transactions, 

(ix) any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or Junior Capital or any capital
contribution to the Company, 
 (x) any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to or of the Senior
Unsecured Notes, the Senior Unsecured Indenture or any related agreements, documents and instruments, or any of the terms and provisions of any thereof, to provide for the payment of interest in cash instead of in additional principal, or in
additional principal instead of in cash, in each case in whole or in part, and 
 (xi) any investment by any
Investor in securities of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as (i) such securities are being offered generally to other investors on the same or more favorable terms and (ii) such investment by all Investors
constitutes less than 5% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities. 
 Section 413.
Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock
of any other Person), whether owned on the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness (the “Initial Lien”), unless (a) in the case of an Initial Lien on any Collateral, such Initial Lien
expressly has Junior Lien Priority on such Collateral in relation to the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable or (b) in the case of an Initial Lien on any other asset or property, contemporaneously therewith effective
provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under this Indenture and the Notes or, in respect of any Initial Lien on any Restricted Subsidiary’s property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and
ratably 

  
 98 









 
with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations) such obligation for so long as such obligation is so secured by such Initial Lien.
Any such Lien thereby created in favor of the Notes or any such Subsidiary Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the release and discharge of the Initial Lien to which it relates,
(ii) in the case of any such Lien in favor of any such Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the termination and discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the terms of Section 1303 or (iii) any sale, exchange
or transfer (other than a transfer constituting a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company that is governed by Section 501) to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of the property or assets secured by such
Initial Lien, or of all of the Capital Stock held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in, or all or substantially all the assets of, any Restricted Subsidiary creating such Initial Lien. 

Section 414. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. From and after the Issue Date, the Company will cause each Person that becomes a
Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), and each other Domestic Subsidiary that is a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility or that guarantees payment of Indebtedness of the Company under any Credit Facility
or Capital Markets Securities, to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 30 days a supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes, whereupon such Domestic Subsidiary
will become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes under this Indenture; provided, that any such guarantee described under clause (x) or (y) by a Person in effect at the time such Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated
with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and not created with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation) shall not trigger an obligation to guarantee the Notes so long as the aggregate principal amount of
guaranteed Indebtedness relying on this proviso, together with the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Section 407(a), shall not exceed $300.0
million at any time outstanding. Within 90 days of so becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company will also cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and deliver such documents and instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to cause its property
and assets of a type that would constitute Collateral to be made subject to a perfected Lien (subject to Liens permitted by this Indenture, including Permitted Liens) in favor of the Note Collateral Agent, as and to the extent provided in
Section 1503. In addition, the Company may cause any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor so to guarantee payment of the Notes and become a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

Section 415. Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence after the Issue Date of a Change of
Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase (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); provided, however, that the Company shall not
be obligated to repurchase Notes pursuant to this Section 415 in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as provided in Article X. 

  
 99 









 (b) In the event that, at the time of such Change of Control, the terms of any Credit
Facility Indebtedness constituting Designated Senior Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 415, then prior to the mailing of the notice to Holders provided for in
Section 415(c) but in any event not later than 30 days following the date the Company obtains actual knowledge of any Change of Control (unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes as provided in
Article X), the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, (i) repay in full all such Credit Facility Indebtedness subject to such terms or offer to repay in full all such Credit Facility Indebtedness
and repay the Credit Facility Indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer or (ii) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing such Credit Facility Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided
for in Section 415(c). The Company shall first comply with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence before it shall be required to repurchase Notes pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section 415. The
Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 415(b) or Section 415(c) shall constitute an Event of Default described in Section 601(iv) and not in Section 601(ii). 

(c) Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes as described in Article X, the Company shall, not
later than 30 days following the date the Company obtains actual knowledge of any Change of Control having occurred, mail a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: (1) that
a Change of Control has occurred or may occur and that such Holder has, or upon such occurrence will have, the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date); (2) the repurchase date (which shall be no
earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); (3) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 415, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes
purchased; and (4) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, that such offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Change of Control. No Note will be repurchased in part if less than the Minimum
Denomination in original principal amount of such Note would be left outstanding. 
 (d) The Company will not be required to
make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control
Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (e)
The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 415. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 415, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 415 by virtue thereof.

 Section 416. Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Rating.
(a) If on any day following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day (the
“Suspension Date”) subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the covenants listed under Sections 407, 409, 410, 411, 412, 414, and 501(a)(iii) (collectively, the
“Suspended Covenants”) will be suspended. During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Board of Directors may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries unless such
designation would have complied with Section 409 as if Section 409 would have been in effect during such period. 
 (b) If on any subsequent date one or both of the Rating Agencies downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, the foregoing covenants will be reinstated as of and from the
date of such rating decline (any such date, a “Reversion Date”). The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Upon such reinstatement, all
Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been Incurred under the exception provided by Section 407(b)(iii). With respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted
Payments will be calculated as if Section 409 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. For purposes of Section 411, upon the occurrence of a Reversion Date the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds
or Excess Other Proceeds not applied in accordance with such covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero. 
 (c) During the
Suspension Period, any reference in the definitions of “Permitted Liens” and “Unrestricted Subsidiary” to Section 407 or any provision thereof shall be construed as if such covenant were in effect during the
Suspension Period. 
 Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be
deemed to have occurred as a result of any actions taken by the Company or any Subsidiary (including for the avoidance of doubt any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants) during any Suspension Period and the Company and any Subsidiary will
be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a
Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 (d) The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of the occurrence of any Suspension Date or any Reversion Date. 
 ARTICLE V 

 SUCCESSORS 
 Section 501. When the Company May Merge, Etc. (a) The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any
Person, unless: 
 (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) will expressly assume all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this
Indenture by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture or one or more other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 

  
 101









 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that
becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default will have
occurred and be continuing; 
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (A) the Company
(or, if applicable, the Successor Company with respect thereto) could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 407(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company (or, if applicable, the
Successor Company with respect thereto) would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; 
 (iv) each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than (x) any Subsidiary Guarantor that will be released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with such transaction and
(y) any party to any such consolidation or merger) shall have delivered a supplemental indenture or other document or instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than any
Subsidiary Guarantee that will be discharged or terminated in connection with such transaction); and 
 (v) the Company will
have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with the provisions described in this paragraph, provided that (x) in
giving such opinion such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) and as to any matters of fact, and (y) no Opinion of Counsel will be required for a
consolidation, merger or transfer described in Section 501(b). 
 Immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, the Collateral owned by the Successor Company upon giving effect thereto (including any Collateral transferred to the Successor Company pursuant to such transaction) shall continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the
Note Security Documents and be subject to the Lien in favor of the Note Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and shall not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens, in each case except as otherwise
permitted by or provided in this Indenture and the Note Security Documents. Any property and assets of any Person that is so consolidated or merged with the Company, to the extent of a type that would constitute Collateral under the Note Security
Documents (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets and Excluded Subsidiary Securities), shall be treated as After Acquired Property and the Successor Company shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to


  
 102









 
cause such property and assets to be made subject to a Lien in favor of the Note Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, in each case to the extent required
under Section 1503. 
 Any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (or that is deemed to be Incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) as a result of any such transaction undertaken in compliance with this Section 501, and any Refinancing Indebtedness with
respect thereto, shall be deemed to have been Incurred in compliance with Section 407. 
 (b) Clauses (ii) and
(iii) of Section 501(a) will not apply to any transaction in which the Company consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to (x) an Affiliate incorporated or
organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to a corporation or other entity or (y) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company so long as all assets of the
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation
thereof. Section 501(a) will not apply to (1) any transaction in which any Restricted Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or (2) the Transactions.

 Section 502. Successor Company Substituted. Upon any transaction involving the Company in accordance with
Section 501 in which the Company is not the Successor Company, the Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, and thereafter the predecessor
Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture, except that the predecessor Company in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets shall not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and
interest on the Notes. 
 ARTICLE VI

Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, if the total amount of such Indebtedness so unpaid or accelerated exceeds $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent; provided, that no Default or Event of Default will be
deemed to occur with respect to any such Indebtedness that is paid or otherwise acquired or retired (or for which such failure to pay or acceleration is waived or rescinded) within 20 Business Days after such failure to pay or such acceleration;

 (viii) the taking of any of the following actions by the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the

received in respect thereof prior to or within 90 days from the entry thereof, or to be received in respect thereof in the event any appeal thereof shall be unsuccessful) in excess of $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent against
the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, that is not discharged, or bonded or insured by a third Person, if such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 90 days following such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or
stayed; 
 (xi) more than $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of (1) the Senior Subordinated Notes remains
outstanding on the date that is 45 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Senior Subordinated Notes or (2) any unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred to refinance the Senior Subordinated Notes
remains outstanding on the date that is 45 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of such Indebtedness; 
 (xii) the failure
of any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof or of this Indenture) or the denial or disaffirmation in writing by any Subsidiary

accordance with such Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture), if such Default continues for 10 days; or

representative on their behalf) or the Senior Term Agreement (or by their agent or other representative on their behalf) if, after that waiver, the Company is in compliance with Article XV), except to the extent that any loss of perfection or
priority results from the failure of the Note Collateral Agent, the ABL Agent, the Term Agent, the First Lien Note Agent, any Additional Agent or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it
representing securities, promissory notes or other instruments pledged under the Note Security Documents, or otherwise results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, the Note Collateral Agent, the ABL Agent, the Term Agent,
the First Lien Note Agent, any Additional Agent or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative; provided, that if a failure of the 

  
 105









 
sort described in this clause (xiii) is susceptible of cure (including with respect to any loss of Lien priority on material portions of the Collateral), no Event of Default shall arise
under this clause (xiii) with respect thereto until 30 days after notice of such failure shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under this
Indenture. 
 The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it
is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal, state or foreign law for the
relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 However, a Default under clause (iv), (v) or (vi) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
notify the Company in writing of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in such clause after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such
notice is a “Notice of Default.” When a Default or an Event of Default is cured, it ceases. 
 The Company
shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (vii) or (x) and any event that with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iv), (v) or (vi), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 602. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 601(viii) or
Section 601(ix), with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 301, the Trustee by written
notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, in either case specifying in such notice the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a
“notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon the effectiveness of such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 601(viii) or
Section 601(ix), with respect to the Company, occurs and is continuing, unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 301, the principal of and
accrued but unpaid interest on all the Outstanding Notes will ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

  
 106









 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by notice to the
Company and the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except non-payment of principal or interest
that has become due solely because of such acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Section 603. Other Remedies; Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent may, but are not obligated under this
Section 603 to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Note Security Documents. If an Event of
Default specified in Section 601(i) or 601(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together
with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 707. 

Section 604. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreements as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon
the Notes, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 707. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 605. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


  
 107









 Section 606. Application of Money Collected. Any money or property collected by
the Trustee or the Note Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VI shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal (or
premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 707; 

Second: To the payment of all amounts due the Note Collateral Agent under Section 1510; 

Third: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and
interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
respectively; and 
 Fourth: to the Company. 
 The foregoing provisions of this Section 606 are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, to subsection 6.5 of the Collateral Agreement, to any corresponding provision of any
other Note Security Document relating to application of such money or property, and to Section 1509(l). 

Section 607. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 608 hereof, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to
this Indenture, the Note Security Documents, or the Notes unless: 
 (i) such Holder has previously given the
Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (ii) Holders of at least 30% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holder
or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request within such 60-day period. 

  
 108









 A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another
Holder, to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders. 

Section 608. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of and all (subject to Section 307) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates
expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 609. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture or any Note and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, any other obligor
upon the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 610. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 611. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 612. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that 

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and 

  
 109









 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which
is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
this Indenture or, subject to Section 701, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. This Section 612 shall be in lieu of TIA § 316(a)(1)(A), and
such TIA § 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. 

Section 613. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of Notes affected), or 

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 902 cannot
be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon. In case of any such waiver, the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This paragraph of
this Section 613 shall be in lieu of TIA § 316(a)(1)(B) and such TIA § 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. 

Section 614. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant. This Section 614 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted
by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on any Note on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates expressed in such Note. 

  
 110









 Section 615. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company agrees (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other similar law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes contemplated herein or in the Notes or that may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE VII

 THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 701. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the
absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but need not verify the contents thereof. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 701(a); (ii) the Trustee shall not
be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 612. 
 (d)
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

  
 111









 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 701 and Section 703. 

Section 702. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail
within 90 days after it occurs, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register, notice of such Default hereunder known to the Trustee unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however,
that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a
trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 703. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 701: 
 (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
bond, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 

(2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or
Company Order thereof, and any resolution of any Person’s board of directors shall be sufficiently evidenced if certified by an Officer of such Person as having been duly adopted and being in full force and effect on the date of such
certificate; 
 (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate
of the Company; 
 (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

(5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction; 

  
 112









 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document; 

(7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(8) to the extent permitted by the TIA, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect,
consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage; and 

(9) the permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless
so specified herein. 
 Section 704. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals contained
herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations
hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes in connection with the registration of any Notes and any Subsidiary Guarantees
issued hereunder are and will be true and accurate subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Notes or the proceeds thereof.

 Section 705. May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or
any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Section 708 and Section 713, may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent. 

Section 706. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 

  
 113









 Section 707. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees, 

(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time the reasonable compensation agreed to by the Company in writing for all
services rendered by the Trustee hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to
hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee’s part, arising out of or in connection with the administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
 The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The provisions of this Section 707 shall survive the termination of
this Indenture or the resignation and removal of the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Notes for payment
of all amounts due the Trustee under this Section 707 on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on any Notes. 

Section 708. Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA,
the Trustee shall eliminate such interest, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee with such conflict or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture. To the extent
permitted by the TIA, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Original Notes and Additional Notes, or a trustee under any other indenture between the Company
and the Trustee. 
 Section 709. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be one (and only
one) Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the TIA to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the TIA, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 709, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

  
 114









 Section 710. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. No resignation
or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 711. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 711 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 If at any
time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 708 after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible under Section 709 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case,
(A) the Company may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 614, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 711. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 711, become the successor Trustee
and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have 

  
 115









 
been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 711, then, subject to Section 614, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Holders in the manner provided in Section 110. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 707 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 711. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such
successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any
and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to above. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VII. 

Section 712. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. 
 Section 713. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the


  
 116









 
Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the TIA regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor) or realizing on certain property received by
it in respect of such claims. 
 Section 714. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Unless
limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by the Trustee includes
authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

ARTICLE VIII 

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY 
 TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY 
 Section 801. The Company to Furnish
Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee 

(1) semi-annually, not more than 10 days after each Regular Record Date, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such Regular Record Date, and 
 (2) at such
other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 

provided, however, that if and to the extent and so long as the Trustee shall be the Note Registrar, no such list need be furnished
pursuant to this Section 801.

The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list, if any, furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 801 and the names and addresses
of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar; provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Note Registrar, the Note Register shall satisfy the requirements relating to such list. None of
the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee or any other Person shall be under any responsibility with regard to the accuracy of such list. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 801 upon receipt
of a new list so furnished. 

  
 117









 The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under
this Indenture or under the Notes, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the TIA. 

Every Holder of Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company, nor the
Trustee, nor any agent of any of them, shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the TIA. 
 Section 803. Reports by Trustee. Within 60 days after each April 1, beginning with April 1, 2013, the Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its
actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the TIA at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto for so long as any Notes remain outstanding. A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders,
be filed by the Trustee or any applicable listing agent with each stock exchange upon which any Notes are listed, with the SEC and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when any Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

ARTICLE IX

 (7) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes, any
Note Security Document, the Base Intercreditor Agreement, the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement or any Subsidiary Guarantee to any provision of the “Description of Second Priority Notes” or “Description of Intercreditor
Agreements” sections of the Offering Memorandum, 
 (8) to increase the minimum denomination of the Notes to
equal the dollar equivalent of €1,000 rounded up to the nearest $1,000 (including for purposes of redemption or repurchase of any Note in part), 
 (9) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder under the Notes, this Indenture or the Note Security Documents, or 

(10) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or
otherwise. 
 In addition, the Note Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement may be amended in accordance with the
terms thereof. 
 Section 902. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Section 608, the Company, the
Trustee, the Note Collateral Agent and (if applicable) any Subsidiary Guarantor may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) and the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes by written notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) may waive any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with any
provision of this Indenture, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantee, any Note Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement; provided that (x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all
series of Notes) then outstanding under this Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required, (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of Notes in a manner different and materially adverse relative to the manner such amendment or waiver affects other
series of Notes, then the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, 

  
 119









 
in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required and (z) any amendment or waiver to or of Section 409(c) of
this Indenture shall only require the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding that are Initial Notes or Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor, or Additional Notes issued pursuant to a Notes
Supplemental Indenture that specifies that Section 409(c) shall apply to such Notes without any modification, or Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Additional Notes. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 902, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver,
including a waiver pursuant to Section 613, may not: 
 (i) reduce the principal amount of the Notes
whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver; 
 (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment
of interest on any Note; 
 (iii) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; 

(iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the date on which any Note may be redeemed as
described in Section 6 of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture; 
 (v) make any Note payable in money
other than that stated in such Note; 
 (vi) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of
and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or 

(vii) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions described in this paragraph. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 902 to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 902 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to
mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any supplemental indenture or the effectiveness of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment,
supplement or waiver may (1) make any change to any Note Security Document, any Intercreditor Agreement, or the specified provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Note Security Documents, that would release


  
 120









 
all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Note Security Documents (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreements) or would change or alter the priority of the security interests in the Collateral under any Intercreditor Agreement, in any manner adverse to the Holders in any material respect, or (2) make any other change to any Note
Security Document, any Intercreditor Agreement, or the specified provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Note Security Documents, or the application of trust proceeds of the Collateral pursuant to this Indenture, that would
adversely affect the Holders in any material respect, in each case other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. 

Section 903. Execution of Amendments, Supplements or Waivers. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing
to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the execution of such amendment,
supplement or waiver has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and that, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereinafter in
effect affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and to general principles of equity (including standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness), whether considered in a proceeding at law or at equity, such
amendment, supplement or waiver is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. 
 Section 904. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of that Note or any Note that evidences all or any part of the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Subject to the following paragraph of this
Section 904, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Note by written notice to the Trustee or the Company, received by the Trustee or the Company, as the case may be, before the date on which
the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Company certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company
may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver as set forth in Section 108. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Notes, unless it makes a change described in
any of clauses (i) through (vii) of the second paragraph of Section 902. In that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of such Note or any
Note that evidences all or any part of the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note. 

  
 121









 Section 905. Conformity with TIA. Every amendment or supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 906.
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee shall (if required by the Company and in accordance with the specific direction of the Company) request the Holder of the Note to
deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee shall (if required by the Company and in accordance with the specific direction of the Company) place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if
the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect
the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 ARTICLE X 

REDEMPTION OF NOTES 
 Section 1001. Applicability of Article. Notes of or within any series that are redeemable in whole or in part before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms
and (except as otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 301) in accordance with this Article X. 

Section 1002. [Reserved]. 
 Section 1003. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Notes of any series, the Company shall, at least two
Business Days (but not more than 60 days, other than in the case of defeasance or satisfaction and discharge) prior to the date on which notice is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 1005, notify
the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. 
 Section 1004. Selection by
Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 301, in the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for
redemption will be made by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate, in integral multiples
of $1,000, although no Note of $2,000 in original principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. 
 The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

  
 122









 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note that has been or is to be redeemed. 

Section 1005. Notice of Redemption. Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental
Indenture, as contemplated by Section 301, notice of redemption or purchase as provided in Section 1001 shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor (other than in the case of
defeasance or satisfaction and discharge) more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register. 

Any such notice shall state: 
 (1) the expected Redemption Date, 
 (2) the redemption price (or
the formula by which the redemption price will be determined), 
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Notes are to
be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the portion of the respective principal amounts) of the Notes to be redeemed, 
 (4) that, on the Redemption Date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Note, and that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is
prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date, and 
 (5) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price. 
 In
addition, if such redemption, purchase or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, as permitted by Section 6 of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if
applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the
event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. 
 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.


  
 123









 Notice of such redemption or purchase of Notes to be so redeemed or purchased at the
election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request (made to the Trustee at least 40 days (or such shorter period as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date), by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Company. Any such request will set forth the information to be stated in such notice, as provided by this Section 1005. 
 The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or
any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 

Section 1006. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 403) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 1007. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in this
Article X, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price herein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price
or the Paying Agent is prohibited from paying the redemption price pursuant to the terms of this Indenture) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Notes shall be paid
by the Company at the redemption price. Installments of interest whose Interest Payment Date is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to
their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and any accrued and unpaid interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with Section 1006, the Notes (or the portions thereof) called for redemption will cease to accrue
interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes (or portions thereof) will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes (or
portions thereof) to the Redemption Date. If any Note (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption
Date at the rate borne by the Note (or portion thereof). 
 Section 1008. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note that is
to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in
writing) and the Company shall execute and (upon receipt of an 

  
 124









 
Authentication Order) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder
in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered. 

ARTICLE XI 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 1101. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture and the Note Security Documents shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving
rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,

or a combination thereof, sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Notes not previously cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the
date of such deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be (provided that if such redemption shall be pursuant to Section 6(c) of the applicable


  
 125









 
Notes Supplemental Indenture, (x) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited
shall be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit, and (y) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date, as required by
Section 1006, as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date); 
 (iii) the

this Indenture have been complied with, provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)). 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, (a) the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
Section 707 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1101(ii), the obligations of the Trustee under Section 1102 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge,
(b) if such satisfaction and discharge is effected through redemption in accordance with Section 1101(i)(b)(3), the provisions of Section 1007 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge, and the other
provisions of Article X (and Section 6 of each applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture) shall survive such satisfaction and discharge until the Redemption Date shall have occurred and (c) the obligations of the Note
Collateral Agent under Section 1513 shall survive until the second anniversary of such satisfaction and discharge. 

Section 1102. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 403, all
money and/or U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1101 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 1201. The
Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option, at any time, elect to have terminated the obligations of the Company with respect to Outstanding Notes, to have terminated all of the obligations
of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantees, to have 

  
 126









 
released any and all Liens on the Collateral securing the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and to have terminated the Note Security Documents, in each case, as set forth in this Article
XII, and elect to have either Section 1202 or Section 1203 be applied to all of the Outstanding Notes (the “Defeased Notes”), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in
Section 1204. Either Section 1202 or Section 1203 may be applied to the Defeased Notes to any Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes. 

Section 1202. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 1201 of the option
applicable to this Section 1202, the Company shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Notes on the date the relevant conditions set forth in Section 1204 below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Defeased Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed
to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1205 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to
have satisfied all other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following, which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Defeased Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1204 and as more fully set forth in such Section,
payments in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Defeased Notes under Sections 304, 305, 306,
402, and 403, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, including the Trustee’s rights under Section 707, and the Company’s obligations under
Section 707, and (d) this Article XII. If the Company exercises its option under this Section 1202, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. Subject
to compliance with this Article XII, the Company may, at its option and at any time, exercise its option under this Section 1202 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1203 with respect to the
Notes. 
 Section 1203. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 1201 of the
option applicable to this Section 1203, (a) the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant or provision contained in Section 405, Sections 407 through 415, inclusive, and
Section 1503, and the provisions of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) and the second paragraph of Section 501(a) shall not apply, and (b) the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iv),
(v) (with respect to Section 405, Sections 407 through 415, inclusive, and Section 1503), (vi), (vii), (viii) (with respect to Subsidiaries), (ix) (with respect to Subsidiaries), (x) or
(xi) of Section 601 shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Defeased Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants or provisions, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company may omit


  
 127









 
to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant or provision, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or provision or by reason of any reference in any such covenant or provision to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of
Default under Section 601, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Outstanding Notes shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 1204. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1202 or Section 1203 to the
Outstanding Notes: 
 (1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee, in trust, money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient (without reinvestment), to pay and discharge the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Defeased Notes to the Stated
Maturity or relevant Redemption Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes (provided that if such redemption shall be pursuant to Section 6(c) of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, (x) the
amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof that the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited shall be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit, and
(y) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date, as required by Section 1006, as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date);

 (2) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

 (3) Such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default or Event of Default
under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; 
 (4) In the case of an election under Section 1202, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from Debevoise & Plimpton LLP or other counsel in the United
States to the effect that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm to the effect that, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance and will
be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Defeasance had not occurred; provided that such Opinion of Counsel need not be delivered if all Notes
theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in 

  
 128









 
trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 403) not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Company; 
 (5) In the case of an election under Section 1203, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from Debevoise & Plimpton LLP or other counsel in the United States to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; and 

(6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the
effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 1204 relating to either the Defeasance under Section 1202 or the Covenant Defeasance under Section 1203, as the case may be, have been complied
with. In rendering such Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 1204 or as to any matters of fact. 

Section 1205. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 403, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or such other Person that would qualify to act as successor trustee under
Article VII, collectively and solely for purposes of this Section 1205, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1204 in respect of the Defeased Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee,
in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of
principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee and its agents and hold them harmless against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant
to Section 1204, or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof, other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of the Holders of the Defeased Notes. 

Anything in this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company from time to time, upon
Company Request, any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1204 that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm expressed in a written certification


  
 129









 
thereof to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Subject to Article VII,
the Trustee shall not incur any liability to any Person by relying on such opinion. 
 Section 1206. Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 1202 or 1203, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to Section 1202 or 1203, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 1202 or
1203, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

Section 1207. Repayment to the Company. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee shall pay to the
Company upon Company Request any money held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to
money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease. 

ARTICLE XIII 

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 
 Section 1301. Guarantees Generally. 
 (a) Guarantee of Each
Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally Guarantees, on a senior basis, the punctual payment when due, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such
Subsidiary Guarantors being herein called the “Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations”). 
 The obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including but not limited to any Guarantee by it of any Credit Facility Indebtedness)
and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its 

  
 130









 
Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors. 
 (b) Further Agreements of Each Subsidiary Guarantor. (i) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a
notation concerning its Subsidiary Guarantee is made on any particular Note, or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

(ii) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the benefit of diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that (except
as otherwise provided in Section 1303) its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Security Documents and this Subsidiary Guarantee.
Such Subsidiary Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other
hand, subject to this Article XIII, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed by its Subsidiary Guarantee may be accelerated as and to the extent provided in Article VI for the purposes of such Subsidiary
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantee, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as
provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Section 1301 for the purpose of such Subsidiary
Guarantee. Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations or against the Company or any other
Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations under their respective Subsidiary Guarantees or under this Indenture.

 (iii) Until terminated in accordance with Section 1303, each Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in
full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a


  
 131









 
receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on such Notes, whether as a “voidable preference,”
“fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall have the right to seek contribution from the Company or any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor that has
also Guaranteed the relevant Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations in respect of which such payment or distribution is made, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees. 

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated
by this Indenture and that its Subsidiary Guarantee, and the waiver set forth in Section 1305, are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 (e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee, also hereby agrees to pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by
the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under its Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 Section 1302. Continuing
Guarantees. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall be a continuing Guarantee and shall (i) subject to Section 1303, remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the principal amount of all Outstanding Notes
(whether by payment at maturity, purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition) and all other Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor then due and owing, (ii) be binding upon such Subsidiary
Guarantor and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the Holders and their permitted successors, transferees and assigns. 
 (b) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced or
terminated the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under its Subsidiary Guarantee (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Subsidiary Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed
from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

Section 1303. Release of Subsidiary Guarantees. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1302, Subsidiary
Guarantees will be subject to termination and discharge under the circumstances described in this Section 1303. Any Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically and 

  
 132









 
unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect,
(i) concurrently with any direct or indirect sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any interest therein in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (including Section 411 and
Section 501) by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) at any time that such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from all of
its obligations under all of its Guarantees of payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities and Capital Markets Securities and is not a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility (it being
understood that a release subject to contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Subsidiary Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required
to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 414), (iii) upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such
merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, (iv) concurrently with any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, (v) during the Suspension Period, upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into another Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor with such other Subsidiary being the surviving
Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to a subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (vi) upon Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the
Company’s obligations, or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or (vii) subject to Section 1302(b), upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then Outstanding and all other Subsidiary
Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing. In addition, the Company will have the right, upon 30 days’ notice to the Trustee, to cause any Subsidiary Guarantor that has not guaranteed payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities or Capital Markets Securities and is not a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility to be unconditionally released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary
Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect. 
 Upon any such occurrence specified
in this Section 1303, the Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense, execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Subsidiary
Guarantee. 
 Section 1304. [Reserved]. 
 Section 1305. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, including any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, 

  
 133









 
exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under
contract, statute or common law, until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have
been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such
Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 Section 1306. Notation Not Required. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Subsidiary Guarantee or any release,
termination or discharge thereof. 
 Section 1307. Successors and Assigns of Subsidiary Guarantors. All covenants
and agreements in this Indenture by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 1308. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantees. The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
Section 414, and each Subsidiary of the Company that the Company causes to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 414, to promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantor Supplemental Indenture, or a
supplemental indenture otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing its Subsidiary Guarantee on substantially the terms set forth in this Article XIII. Concurrently therewith, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Guarantor Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and that, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and to general principles of equity (including standards of materiality, good faith, fair
dealing and reasonableness), whether considered in a proceeding at law or at equity, such Guarantor Supplemental Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of such Restricted Subsidiary, enforceable against such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance
with its terms. 
 Section 1309. Notices. Notice to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sufficient if addressed to
such Subsidiary Guarantor care of the Company at the address, place and manner provided in Section 109.

 ARTICLE XV 

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY 
 Section 1501. Collateral and Security Documents. The punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Company and any
Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Security Documents, whether for principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, shall be secured as provided in the Note Security Documents, which
define the terms of the Liens that secure the Secured Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Trustee and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the Note Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, in each case pursuant and subject to the terms of the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Note Security Documents
(including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral), this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements, in each case as the same may be in effect or may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise
modified from time to time in accordance with their terms, and authorizes and directs the Note Collateral Agent to enter into the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights
thereunder in accordance therewith. Pursuant and subject to the terms of the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Company shall deliver to the Note Collateral Agent copies of all documents and will do or cause to be done all
such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 1501, to reasonably assure and confirm to the Note Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Note Security
Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Company
shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Note Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Secured Obligations, a
valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral in favor of the Note Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as and to the extent contemplated by the Note Security Documents and subject to
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, including making all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such financing statements) or
recordings and taking all other similar actions as are reasonably necessary or required by the Note Security Documents or that the Note Collateral Agent may reasonably request (to the extent required under the Note Security Documents) in order to
maintain and perfect (at the sole cost and expense of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors) the security interest and liens created by the Note Security Documents in the Collateral as a perfected security interest, in each case other than with
respect 

  
 135









 
to any Collateral the lien or security interest in or on which is not required to be maintained or perfected under the Note Security Documents, and subject to Liens permitted under this
Indenture, including Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted by Section 413. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not so maintain the security interest and liens created by the Note Security Documents as a
perfected security interest as described therein (in the case of the Collateral Agreement, as described in subsection 4.2.2, 4.3.4 or 4.3.5 thereof, as applicable) notwithstanding its use of commercially reasonable efforts, such failure shall not
(by reason of the use of commercially reasonable efforts) be deemed to be in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or any of the Note Security Documents for purpose of subclause (i) of the first parenthetical in clause (xiii) of
Section 601. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall continue to have the right to possess and control their property and assets constituting Collateral and exercise all rights with respect thereto, subject to the terms of the
Note Security Documents. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are unable to complete
on or prior to the Issue Date all filings, recordings and other similar actions required in connection with the perfection of such liens and security interests, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to complete such actions as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than 180 days) after such date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be required to (x) take any action in any
jurisdiction other than the United States of America, or required by the laws of any such jurisdiction, in order to create any security interests (or other Liens) in assets located or titled outside of the United States of America or to perfect any
security interests (or other Liens) in any Collateral, (y) deliver control agreements with respect to, or confer perfection by “control” over, any deposit accounts, bank or securities account or other Collateral, except, in the
case of Collateral that constitutes Capital Stock or intercompany notes in certificated form, delivering such Capital Stock or intercompany notes (in the case of intercompany notes, limited to any such note with a principal amount in excess of $3.0
million) to the Note Collateral Agent (or another Person as required under the Intercreditor Agreements) or (z) deliver landlord lien waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters. 

The Collateral shall not at any time include any Excluded Assets or Excluded Subsidiary Securities. 

Section 1502. Release of Collateral. (a) The Collateral shall be released from the Lien and security interest created by
the Note Security Documents, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Note Security Documents or as provided by this
Section 1502. Upon such release, all rights in the Collateral shall revert to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Collateral shall be released under one or more of the following circumstances: 

(i) so long as any ABL Obligations are outstanding, in the case of any property or other assets constituting ABL Priority
Collateral, upon the release of all Liens thereon securing ABL Obligations; 

  
 136









 (ii) so long as any Term Obligations are outstanding, in the case of any
property or other assets constituting Cash Flow Priority Collateral, upon the release of all Liens thereon securing Term Obligations (or, if no Term Obligations are then outstanding, all other Senior Priority Obligations (as defined in the Cash Flow
Intercreditor Agreement)); 
 (iii) to enable the disposition (as defined under Section 101 in the
“Asset Disposition” definition and including any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition described in the parenthetical exclusion to such definition) of such property or assets to any Person (other than the Company or a Subsidiary
Guarantor) to the extent not prohibited under Section 411; 
 (iv) the release of Excess Collateral
Proceeds or Excess Other Proceeds (whether in respect of any Asset Disposition of Collateral or non-Collateral) that remain unexpended after the conclusion of an applicable Offer conducted in accordance with Section 411; 

(v) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is released from its Guarantee of the Notes, the release of the property
and assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (vi) pursuant to an amendment or waiver in accordance with Article
IX of this Indenture; 
 (vii) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest
on, the Notes and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantees under this Indenture and the Note Security Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is paid;

 (viii) if the Notes have been discharged or defeased pursuant to Article XI or Article XII of
this Indenture; or 
 (ix) as provided in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor
Agreement. 
 (b) The Note Collateral Agent and, if necessary, the Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense, execute,
deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence and shall do or cause to be done all other acts reasonably necessary to effect, in each case as soon as is reasonably practicable, the release of any Collateral permitted to be released
pursuant to this Indenture, the Note Security Documents, the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Note Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in good faith and
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  
 137









 Section 1503. After Acquired Property. Promptly, but in no event later than
90 days, following the acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any After Acquired Property, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such mortgages, Note Security Document supplements, security
instruments and financing statements as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such After Acquired Property to be made subject to a perfected Lien (subject to Liens permitted under this Indenture, including Permitted Liens) in favor of the Note
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture and the Note Security Documents relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After Acquired Property to the
same extent and with the same force and effect; provided that, (a) if any ABL Obligations are outstanding at such time, in the case of After Acquired Property constituting ABL Priority Collateral, the execution and delivery of such
documents will only be required, and such After Acquired Property will only become part of the Collateral securing the Notes, if and to the extent that such After Acquired Property becomes part of the Collateral securing the ABL Obligations
substantially concurrently therewith, (b) if any Term Obligations are outstanding at such time, in the case of After Acquired Property constituting Cash Flow Priority Collateral, the execution and delivery of such documents will only be
required, and such After Acquired Property will only become part of the Collateral securing the Notes, if and to the extent that such After Acquired Property becomes part of the Collateral securing the Term Obligations and any other Senior Priority
Obligations (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement) substantially concurrently therewith, (c) the Collateral in any event will exclude Excluded Subsidiary Securities and (d) in any event the Company or such Subsidiary
Guarantor will not be required to (x) take any action in any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, or required by the laws of any such jurisdiction, in order to create any security interests (or other Liens) in assets
located or titled outside of the United States of America or to perfect any security interests (or other Liens) in any Collateral, (y) deliver control agreements with respect to, or confer perfection by “control” over, any
deposit accounts, bank or securities account or other Collateral, except, in the case of Collateral that constitutes Capital Stock or intercompany notes in certificated form, delivering such Capital Stock or intercompany notes (in the case of
intercompany notes, limited to any such note with a principal amount in excess of $3.0 million) to the Note Collateral Agent (or another Person as required under the Intercreditor Agreements) or (z) deliver landlord lien waivers,
estoppels or collateral access letters. 
 Section 1504. Suits to Protect the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may or may direct the Note Collateral
Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 
 (a) enforce any of the terms of the
Note Security Documents; and 

  
 138









 (b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the
obligations hereunder. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee
shall have the power to, or direct the Note Collateral Agent to, institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that the Trustee reasonably believes are unlawful
or in violation of any of the Note Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may reasonably deem expedient to preserve or protect the interests of the Note Collateral Agent and the
Trustee and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Lien on the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee). Nothing in this
Section 1504 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee. 

Section 1505. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Note Security Documents. Subject to the provisions
of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed by the Note Collateral Agent under the Note Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders
according to the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Section 1506. Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser
or other transferee in good faith of any property or assets purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Note Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any
conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or assets be
under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer. 
 Section 1507. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article
XV upon the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property or assets may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed
the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XV; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any
provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee. 
 Section 1508. Reports and Certificates
Relating to Collateral. (a) From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, to the extent applicable, the Company shall cause TIA § 313(b)(1), relating to reports, and TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of
property or securities subject to the Lien of the Note Security Documents, to be complied with. 

  
 139









 (b) Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 1502 shall be deemed not to
impair the Liens under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreement and the other Note Security Documents in contravention thereof. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, any certificate or opinion required under TIA §
314(d) may be made by an officer or legal counsel, as applicable, of the Company except in cases where TIA § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer,
appraiser or other expert selected by the Company. 
 (c) From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1508, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA § 314(d) if they reasonably determine that under the terms of
TIA § 314(d) or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA § 314(d) is inapplicable to any release or series of
releases of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may, subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, among other things, without any release or consent by the Trustee,
the Note Collateral Agent, the Holders or any other Secured Party, conduct ordinary course activities with respect to the Collateral, including, (i) selling or otherwise disposing of, in any transaction or series of related transactions,
any property or assets that is or has become worn out, defective, obsolete or not used or useful in the business of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors; (ii) abandoning, terminating, canceling, releasing or making alterations in or
substitutions for any leases, contracts or other agreements or instruments; (iii) surrendering or modifying any franchise, license or permit that it may hold or own or under which it may be operating; (iv) altering,
repairing, replacing, changing the location or position of or adding to its structures, machinery, systems, equipment, fixtures and appurtenances; (v) granting a license of any intellectual property; (vi) selling,
transferring or otherwise disposing of inventory in the ordinary course of business; (vii) collecting accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business; (viii) making cash payments (including for the repayment of
Indebtedness or payment of interest) from cash that is at any time part of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business; and (ix) abandoning any intellectual property that is no longer used or useful in the business of the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 (d) From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, to the extent
applicable, the Company will comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(b), relating to opinions of counsel, except to the extent the Company reasonably determines such compliance is not required as set forth in the TIA or any other SEC regulation
or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders. 
 Section 1509. Note Collateral Agent. (a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Note Collateral Agent as its


  
 140









 
collateral agent under this Indenture and the Note Security Documents and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Note Collateral Agent to
take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Note Security Documents to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Note Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Note
Security Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Note Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 1509. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Note Security Documents, the Note Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Note Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have
any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Note Security
Documents or otherwise exist against the Note Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Note Collateral Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly
otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Note Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that the
Note Collateral Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Indenture and the Note Security Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article VI, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to
by the Trustee and the Holders. 
 (b) The Note Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Indenture or the Note
Security Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties and the Note Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the
part of any agent or attorney-in-fact appointed with due care by it hereunder. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be
construed to relieve the Note Collateral Agent from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of the third and fourth
sentences of Section 1509(a); and (ii) the Note Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any other officer or assistant officer of the
Note Collateral Agent assigned by the Note Collateral Agent to administer its collateral agency functions, unless it is proved that the Note Collateral Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. The recitals contained herein and in the
Notes, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Note Collateral Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Note Collateral Agent makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Notes, except that the Note Collateral Agent represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Note Security Documents and perform its obligations hereunder. The Note Collateral Agent
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Notes 

  
 141









 
or the proceeds thereof. None of the Note Collateral Agent or any of its agents shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or inquire as to the observance or
performance by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture or the Note Security Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

 (d) The Note Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, unless the Note Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
The Note Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article VI (subject to this Section 1509 and the Intercreditor Agreements);
provided, however, that unless and until the Note Collateral Agent has received any such request, the Note Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements. 
 (e) A resignation or removal
of the Note Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Note Collateral Agent shall become effective only upon the successor Note Collateral Agent’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 1509(e). The Note
Collateral Agent may resign in writing at any time by so notifying the Company and the Trustee at least 30 days prior to the proposed date of resignation. The Company may remove the Note Collateral Agent if: (i) the Note Collateral Agent
is removed as Trustee under this Indenture; (ii) the Note Collateral Agent fails to meet the requirements for being a Trustee under Section 709; or (iii) the Note Collateral Agent shall become incapable of acting
or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Note Collateral Agent or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Note Collateral or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation. If the Note Collateral Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Note Collateral Agent for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Note Collateral Agent that
complies with the eligibility requirements contained in this Indenture. If a successor Note Collateral Agent does not take office within 10 days after the retiring Note Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Note Collateral Agent, the
Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Note Collateral Agent. A successor Note Collateral
Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Note Collateral Agent and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Note Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Note
Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and the duties of the Note Collateral Agent under this Indenture and the Note Security Documents. The successor Note Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to the Trustee. The
retiring Note Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property and assets held by it as Note Collateral Agent to the successor Note Collateral Agent, provided that all sums owing to the Note Collateral Agent hereunder have been paid.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Note Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 1509(e), the 

  
 142









 
Company’s obligations under this Section 1509 and Section 1511 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Note Collateral Agent and the retiring Note Collateral
Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Note Collateral Agent under this Indenture. 

(f) The Note Collateral Agent shall be authorized to appoint co-note collateral agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as
otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Note Security Documents, neither the Note Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or
for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Note
Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Note Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any
act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. 
 (g) The Note
Collateral Agent, is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, (ii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreements and (iii) perform and observe its obligations under the Note Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. 
 (h) The Trustee agrees that it shall not (and shall not be obliged to), and shall not instruct the Note Collateral Agent to, unless specifically requested to do so by a majority of the Holders and subject
to the Intercreditor Agreements, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Indenture or against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any
Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
 (i) The Note Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Liens securing the
Collateral have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of any Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended
to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Note Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to
exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Note Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any
Note Security Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Note Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may in good faith deem appropriate, in its sole discretion
and in accordance with this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements, and that the Note Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing. 

  
 143









 (j) The Note Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable, are hereby directed and
authorized to enter into any intercreditor agreement on behalf of, and binding with respect to, the Holders and their interest in designated assets, in connection with the incurrence of any Additional Obligations, including to clarify the respective
rights of all parties in and to designated assets, including the Base Intercreditor Agreement and the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement. The Note Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall enter into the Base Intercreditor Agreement, the Cash Flow
Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement at the request of the Company, provided that (in the case of such other intercreditor agreement) the Company will have delivered to the Note Collateral Agent and the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such other intercreditor agreement complies with the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes and the other Note Security Documents. The Note Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable, each agrees
at the Company’s expense to execute and deliver any amendment to, waiver of, or supplement to any Note Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement authorized pursuant to Article IX. 

(k) The Note Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it
reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer, unless it is proved that the Note Collateral Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts,
(ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Note Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Note Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law), and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect
of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Note Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

 (l) If at any time the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of
Collateral or any payment with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payment received by the Trustee from the Note Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or
(ii) any payment from the Note Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article VI, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Note Collateral Agent, in kind, and with any
such endorsement as may be required to negotiate the same to the Note Collateral Agent. 
 (m) The Trustee and the Note
Collateral Agent are each Holder’s agents for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets that can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the
Company, the Trustee shall notify the Note Collateral Agent thereof, and shall deliver such Collateral to the Note Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Note Collateral Agent’s instructions. 

  
 144









 (n) The Note Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit
for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors as though the Note Collateral
Agent was not the Note Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Trustee. The Trustee and the Holders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Note Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may receive information
regarding the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor) and acknowledge that the Note Collateral Agent shall not be under any
obligation to provide such information to the Trustee or the Holders. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of the Note Collateral Agent to advance funds.

indemnification set forth in Section 707 (with the references to the Trustee therein applying herein to refer to the Note Collateral Agent).

Intercreditor Agreements and any Note Security Documents in which it is named as a party. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of
such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under or pursuant to, the
Intercreditor Agreements or any Note Security Documents, the Trustee and Note Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be
granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements). 
 Section 1512. [Reserved].

Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries confidential from anyone other than its Affiliates (provided that each such Affiliate keeps such information confidential in accordance herewith) and to use (and cause such
Affiliate to use) such information only in connection with the duties specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Note Security Documents; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Note Collateral Agent or any such Affiliate from
disclosing such information (a) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over the Note Collateral Agent or any such
Affiliate, (c) that had been publicly disclosed other 

  
 145









 
than as a result of a disclosure by the Note Collateral Agent or any such Affiliate that is prohibited by the terms of this Section 1513, (d) already in the Note
Collateral Agent’s or any such Affiliate’s possession (other than information provided to the Note Collateral Agent or any such Affiliate known by the Note Collateral Agent or such Affiliate to be subject to any confidentiality agreement
or undertaking in favor of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries) prior to its receipt of such information from the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or from another
Person supplying it on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or from its review of books and records described above (as the case may be), (e) in connection with any litigation to which
the Note Collateral Agent or any such Affiliate may be a party, to the extent compelled by legal process in such litigation, (f) to the extent necessary or advisable in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder,
(g) to the Note Collateral Agent’s or any such Affiliate’s legal counsel and independent auditors, provided that such counsel and auditors keep such information confidential in accordance herewith, or (h) to

executed and delivered to the Company prior to any such disclosure to the Trustee); provided that, in the case of clause (a), (b) or (e), the Note Collateral Agent shall, to the extent practicable and in accordance with its reasonable
business practice, notify the Company of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment.

 [The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Exchange and
Registration Rights Agreement, dated [            ], 20[    ], among the Company and the initial purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”). Until (i) this Note has been exchanged for an Exchange Security (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in an Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement); (ii) a Shelf
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) registering this Note under the Securities Act has been declared or becomes effective and this Note has been sold or otherwise transferred by the holder thereof pursuant to and
in a manner contemplated by such effective Shelf Registration Statement; (iii) this Note is sold pursuant to Rule 144 under circumstances in which any legend borne by this Note relating to restrictions on transferability thereof,
under the Securities Act or otherwise, is removed by the Company or pursuant to the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof; or (iv) the earliest date that is no less than 480 days after
[            ], 20[    ] and on which this Note is eligible to be sold by a Person that is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company
pursuant to Rule 144 without volume restriction: From and including the date on which a Registration Default (as defined below) shall occur to but excluding the date on which such Registration Default has been cured, additional interest will
accrue on this Note until such time as all Registration Defaults have been cured at the rate of (a) prior to the 91st day of such period (for so long as such period is continuing), 0.25% per annum and (b) thereafter (so
long as such period is continuing), 0.50% per annum. Any such additional interest shall not exceed such respective rates for such respective periods, and shall not in any event exceed 0.50% per annum in the aggregate, regardless of the
number of Registration Defaults that shall have occurred and be continuing. Any such additional interest shall be paid in the same manner and on the same dates as interest payments in respect of this Note. Following the cure of all Registration
Defaults, the accrual of such additional interest will cease. A Registration Default under clause (ii) or (iii) below will be deemed cured upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement required to be
filed due to a failure to consummate the Exchange Offer within the required time period. For purposes of the foregoing, each of the following events, as more particularly defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, is a “Registration
Default”: (i) the Exchange Offer has not been consummated within 360 days after the Issue Date; (ii) if a Shelf Registration Statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement is not declared effective on or
before 90 days after the date on which the obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement arises or (iii) if any Shelf Registration Statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement is filed and declared effective, and during
the period the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, (1) the Company shall have suspended the Shelf Registration
Statement for more than 60 days in the aggregate in any consecutive twelve-month period and be continuing to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement, or (2) the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective

available funds to the account designated to the Company by the Person entitled thereto or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register.

upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, as in effect from
time to time (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the case of any conflict between the

affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all 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.

such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request

neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction was pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States. 
 3. No directed selling efforts have been made in the United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(a)(2) or Rule 904(a)(2) of Regulation S, as applicable. 

4. The proposed transfer of Notes is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In
connection with our proposed sale of $         aggregate principal amount of Notes, we confirm that: 
 1. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture dated as of April 12, 2012, relating to the Notes (as amended,
supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”) and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, and that the Notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts
for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should offer, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Notes within one year after the original issuance of the Notes, we will do so only (A) to the Company
or a Subsidiary, (B) inside the United States to a “qualified institutional buyer” in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (C) inside the United States to an institutional “accredited
investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to you a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter, (D) outside the United States to a foreign person in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S
under the Securities Act, (E) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and we
further agree to provide to any person purchasing any of the Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated herein and in the Indenture. 

3. We understand that, on any proposed transfer of any Notes prior to the later of the original issue date of the Notes and the last date
the Notes were held by an affiliate of

the Company pursuant to paragraphs 2(C), 2(D) and 2(E) above, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company such certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and the
Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect. 

4. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities
Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are acquiring the Notes for investment
purposes and not with a view to, or offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act, and we are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 

5. We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional
“accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion. 
 You, the Company and
counsel to the Company are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters

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

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 [    ] Note at any Redemption
Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such [    ] Note and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such Redemption Date of (1) the redemption price of such

scheduled interest payments due on such [    ] 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 [    ] 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

20[    ]];45 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.
