A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
substantially in the form of Exhibit A, by the manual signature of the Indenture Administrator. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 

On the Issue Date, the Indenture Administrator shall, upon receipt of an Issuer’s Order (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount or amounts specified in such Authentication Order. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Indenture Administrator shall, upon receipt of an

 - 36 -

 
principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes or Exchange Notes issued or increased hereunder. 

The Indenture Administrator may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent
may authenticate Notes whenever the Indenture Administrator may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Indenture Administrator includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent
to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying
Agent. The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for transfer or for exchange (“Transfer
Agent”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.
The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more co-transfer agents and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar, the term “Transfer Agent” includes any co-transfer agent and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without
prior notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar,
Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, the Indenture Administrator shall, to the extent that it is capable, act as such. The Issuer or any of its domestic Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. 

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes
representing the Notes. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the Indenture Administrator to act as the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent
and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 
 Section 2.04. Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Administrator to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Indenture Administrator all money
held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, and will notify the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While
any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Administrator) to pay all money held
by it to the Indenture Administrator. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary or the Trustee) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee shall serve
as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. The Indenture Administrator shall preserve in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If the Indenture Administrator is not the
Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Administrator at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as
of such date as the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(h) Automatic Exchange from Restricted Global Note to Unrestricted Global. Upon the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Private
Placement Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in an “Unrestricted Global
Note” without any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after (A) with respect to the Notes issued on the Issue Date, the
Issue Date or (B) with respect to Additional Notes, if any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon
the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Private Placement Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuer may pursuant to the rules and procedures (i) provide written notice to DTC at least
fifteen calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, instructing DTC to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to the Unrestricted Global Note, which the Issuer shall have previously
otherwise made eligible for exchange with the DTC, (ii) provide 

  
 - 47 -

 
prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders at least fifteen (15) calendar days
prior to the Automatic Exchange Date (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of the Indenture pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange shall occur,
(y) the “CUSIP” number of the Restricted Global Note from which such Holder’s beneficial interests shall be transferred and the (z) “CUSIP” number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such Holder’s
beneficial interests shall be transferred, and (iii) on or prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, deliver to the Indenture Administrator for authentication upon receipt of an Authentication Order, one or more Unrestricted Global Notes, duly
executed by the Issuer, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Restricted Global Notes to be exchanged. At the Issuer’s request on no less than seven calendar days’ notice prior to the Automatic
Exchange Notice Date, the Indenture Administrator shall deliver, in the Issuer’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Note Register. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.06(h), during the fifteen day period prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 2.06(h) shall be permitted without the prior written
consent of the Issuer. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Issuer shall provide, and the Indenture Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon, an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Administrator to
the effect that the Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with
the Securities Act and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Restricted Global Note is to be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment made on the records of the Indenture Administrator, as custodian for
the Depositary to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.06(h), the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records
of the Indenture Administrator, as custodian for the Depositary, to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note resulting from the applicable exchange. The Restricted Global Note from which beneficial
interests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be canceled following the Automatic Exchange. 
 (i)
Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and
not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Indenture Administrator in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is
exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly
and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Indenture Administrator or by the Depositary at the direction of the Indenture Administrator to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred
to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Indenture Administrator or by
the Depositary at the direction of the Indenture Administrator to reflect such increase. 
 (j) General Provisions Relating
to Transfers and Exchanges. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall
execute and the Indenture Administrator shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive
Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14, and 9.05 hereof). 
 (iii) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the 

  
 - 48 -

 
day of selection or (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date with respect to such Note and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such
Note. 
 (iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (v) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Indenture Administrator, any Agent, the Trustee and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is
registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Indenture Administrator, any Agent, the Trustee or the
Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder represented by the
Global Note for all purposes under this Indenture. Owners of beneficial interests in respect of a Global Note will not be entitled to have Notes represented by such Global Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive
physical delivery of certificated Notes, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Indenture Administrator or
the Trustee thereunder. Accordingly, each Holder owning a beneficial interest in respect of a Global Note must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Holder is not a participant or an indirect participant, on the procedures of the
participant through which such Holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder of Notes under this Indenture or such Global Note. 
 (vii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture
Administrator shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 

(viii) At the option of the Holder, subject to Section 2.06(a) hereof, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall
execute, and the Indenture Administrator shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 

(ix) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 (x) The
Indenture Administrator and/or the Registrar shall be entitled to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signatures of the transferor and the transferee. 

(xi) None of the Indenture Administrator, the Registrar or the Trustee shall have any obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or Applicable Procedures with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Holders) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly 

  
 - 49 -

 
required by, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine material compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Administrator, the Registrar or
the Issuer and the Indenture Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Indenture Administrator, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate a replacement Note if the Indenture Administrator’s requirements are met. If required by the Indenture Administrator or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of both
(i) the Indenture Administrator to protect the Indenture Administrator and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Indenture Administrator, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is
replaced. The Issuer and the Indenture Administrator may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every
replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Indenture
Administrator except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Indenture Administrator in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Indenture Administrator receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 
 Notes in exchange for or in lieu of which other Notes have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes hereof. 

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it
ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor)
holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding (including for
accounting purposes) and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. In determining
whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may
be, knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, the
pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor. 

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare
and the Indenture Administrator, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for
temporary Notes and as shall be in form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Administrator. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Indenture Administrator shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

  
 - 50 -

 Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to
all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Indenture Administrator for cancellation.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Indenture Administrator any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Indenture Administrator or, at the direction of the Indenture Administrator, the
Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner. Certification of the
disposal of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon its request therefor. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Indenture Administrator for cancellation. 

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the
defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons
who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Indenture Administrator an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Indenture
Administrator 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 Section 2.12. The Trustee shall (or
the Indenture Administrator on its behalf shall) fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted
interest. The Trustee (or the Indenture Administrator on its behalf) shall promptly notify the Issuer of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the
Indenture Administrator in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder, with a copy to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it
appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of 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, which were carried by such other Note. 

Section 2.13. CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers (in each case, if
then generally in use) and, if so, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will as promptly as practicable notify the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers. 

ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.01. Notices to Indenture Administrator and Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the
Indenture Administrator and the Trustee, no later than three Business Days prior to the date that notice of redemption is required to be mailed or cause to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof but not more than 60 days before
the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur,

 - 51 -

 Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If the Issuer elects to
redeem less than all of the Notes issued by it at any time, the Indenture Administrator shall select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis (to the extent practicable) or (c) by lot or by such other similar method in accordance with the procedures of DTC (if the Notes are Global Notes). In the
event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Indenture Administrator in accordance with the
procedures of DTC from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 
 The Indenture Administrator shall promptly
notify the Issuer 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. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part, except that
if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder even if not in a principal amount of at least $2,000 or an integral multiple thereof, may be redeemed or purchased. Except as
provided in this Indenture, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. The Issuer shall deliver electronically or mail or cause to be mailed by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with Applicable
Procedures, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof. Notices of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be
conditional. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date; 
 (b) the redemption price; 
 (c) if any Definitive Note is to be
redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original
Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (e) that Notes
called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that,
unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 

(h) the CUSIP and ISIN number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed and that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and ISIN number that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (i) any condition to such redemption. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the
Indenture Administrator shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Administrator, no later than three

  
 - 52 -

 
Business Days prior to the date that the notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be
agreed to by the Indenture Administrator), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Indenture Administrator give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

If the Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange of any such
redemption and, if applicable, of the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes. 

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. A notice of redemption, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Indenture Administrator or with
the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest (included Additional Interest, if any) on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that Redemption Date. The Indenture Administrator or the
Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Indenture Administrator or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 
 (b) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the
preceding paragraph (a), on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment
Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to
the Redemption Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Indenture Administrator shall authenticate for the
Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal
amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is
required for the Indenture Administrator to authenticate such new Note. 
 Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

 (a) The Issuer may redeem the Notes at any time, in whole or in part, upon notice in accordance with Sections 3.02 and
Section 3.03 hereof, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding the applicable
Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed on or after any of the dates indicated below until the subsequent date indicated below:

	  	 	100.00	% 

 (b) Any redemption
pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through Section 3.06 hereof. Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering (in the case of an Equity Offering), other offering or other corporate transaction or event. Notice of any redemption in respect of an Equity Offering may be given prior to
the completion thereof. 
 (c) The Indenture Administrator shall select the Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under
Section 3.02 hereof. 
 Section 3.08. Special Mandatory Redemption. 

(a) All of the Notes then outstanding will be redeemed on the Special Redemption Date (as defined below) at a redemption price equal to
98.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date plus accrued interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the Special Redemption Date if: 

(i) irrevocable notice for the redemption of all of the outstanding ABS Notes has not been given under the indenture
governing the ABS Notes on or prior to December 17, 2010, 
 (ii) the closing documents required to be
escrowed under the Documentation Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) have not been deposited with the documentation escrow agent under the Documentation Escrow Agreement on or prior to December 17, 2010, or 

(iii) the Escrow Issuer notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that it will not pursue the consummation of the
Recapitalization on or prior to December 21, 2010 
 (the date of any such occurrence, the “Escrow Termination
Date”). 
 If the Escrow Termination Date occurs, then the Notes will be redeemed on the first Business Day after
release of the escrowed funds by the Escrow Agent to the Indenture Administrator (the “Special Redemption Date”), without the requirement of notice to the Trustee, the Indenture Administrator, any Holder or any other Person. The
foregoing provisions will cease to apply if the Escrow Termination Date has not occurred on or prior to December 21, 2010. 

(b) Except as described in Section 3.08(a) hereof, the Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 3.09. Offers to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

 (a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it
shall follow the procedures specified below. 
 (b) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days
following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the
“Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and, if required, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable, with adjustments as necessary
so that no Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination), or, if less than the Offer Amount has 

  
 - 54 -

 
been tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are
made. 
 (c) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued
and unpaid interest, up to but excluding the Purchase Date, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant
to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 (d) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall deliver electronically or send, by
first-class mail a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.
The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 

(i) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length
of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open; 
 (ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase

 (v) that any Holder electing to have less than
all of the aggregate principal amount of its Notes purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in an amount not less than $2,000; 

(vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the
Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in
the notice at least two Business Days before the Purchase Date; 
 (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to
withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of
the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and/or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders
thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered (with such adjustments as may
be deemed appropriate by the Indenture Administrator so that only Notes in an amount not less than $2,000 are purchased); and 
 (ix) that Holders whose Definitive Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry
transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased. 
 (e) On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer
shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis as described in clause (d)(viii) of this Section 3.09, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less
than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered and (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Administrator the Notes properly accepted, 

  
 - 55 -

 
together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof so tendered. 

(f) The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount

authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is
required for the Indenture Administrator to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note) in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased. Any Note not
so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date. 

(g) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the purchase date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Indenture Administrator or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be purchased on that purchase date. The Indenture Administrator or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited
with the Indenture Administrator or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09 or Section 4.10 hereof, any purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof, and references therein to “redeem,” “redemption” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to “purchase,”
“repurchase” and similar words, as applicable. 
 ARTICLE 4 

COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor, holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the due
date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 
 The Issuer shall pay all Additional Interest, if any, in the same manner on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Registration Rights Agreement. 

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the
rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; the Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or
Agency. The Issuer shall maintain the offices or agencies (which may be an office of the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee or an affiliate of the Indenture Administrator or Trustee, Trustee, Registrar, co-registrar or Transfer Agent) required
under Section 2.03 hereof where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or presented for payment. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations
and surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Administrator. 
 The Issuer 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 such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; 

  
 - 56 -

 
provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain such offices or agencies as required by Section 2.03 hereof for
such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Administrator as one such office or agency of the Issuer in
accordance with Section 2.03 hereof. 
 Section 4.03. Reports and Other Information. 

(a) Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or
otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Issuer shall file with the SEC, within 15 days after the dates set forth below:

 (i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31,
2011 (and 120 days for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2010), all financial information that would be required to be contained in an annual report on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC, including a
“Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm; 

(ii) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, all financial
information that would be required to be contained in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC; and 
 (iii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports; 
 in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with
the SEC (A) if the SEC does not permit such filing or (B) prior to the consummation of an exchange offer or the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, so long as if clause
(A) or (B) is applicable, the Issuer makes available such information to prospective purchasers of Notes, in addition to providing such information to the Trustee, the Indenture Administrator and the Holders of the Notes, in each case, at
the Issuer’s expense and by the applicable date the Issuer would be required to file such information pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent any such information is not so filed or furnished, as applicable, within the
time periods specified above and such information is subsequently filed or furnished, as applicable, the Issuer shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed
to have been cured; provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under Article 6 hereof if Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes have declared the principal,
premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately and such declaration shall not have been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. In addition, to the extent not
satisfied by the foregoing, for so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall furnish to Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act. The Issuer shall not be required to deliver the financial statements and information of the type required to be delivered pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4.03(a) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended
September 25, 2010. 
 (b) In lieu of furnishing or making such information available to the Trustee and the Indenture
Administrator pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof the Issuer may, at its option, post copies of such information required by Section 4.03(a) hereof on a website (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Issuer or a third party)
to which access will be given to Holders, prospective investors in the Notes (which prospective investors shall be limited to “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act or non-U.S. persons (as
defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) that certify their status as such to the reasonable 

  
 - 57 -

 
satisfaction of the Issuer), and securities analysts and market making financial institutions that are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. The Issuer shall hold quarterly conference calls that
are publicly accessible after the Issuer’s financial statements for the prior fiscal period have been made available, provided that such conference calls shall be held no later than 5 Business Days after the date that such financial
statements are actually made available. 
 (c) The Issuer shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this section if
any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer files and provides reports, documents and information of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods, and the Issuer shall not be 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 company; provided that such financial statements are accompanied by
consolidating financial information for such parent company, on the one hand, and for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the exchange offer or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement by the filing with
the SEC of any registration statement or other filing, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act. 
 (e) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator is for informational purposes only and their respective receipt of such reports shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or
the Notes (as to which the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator are entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 (f) Neither the Trustee nor the Indenture Administrator shall be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s
compliance with the covenants described in this Indenture or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Indenture. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure by the Issuer to comply with any of its obligations under this Section 4.03 for purposes of clause (iii) of Section 6.01(a)
hereof will not constitute an Event of Default thereunder until 90 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder. 
 Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. 
 (a) The Issuer shall
deliver to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date (or such later date as may be permitted pursuant to Section 4.03(a) for the delivery of the Issuer’s
annual report required under subclause (i) therein), and upon request, a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, treasurer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the
Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled in
all material respects each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture during such fiscal year no Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or,
if a Default shall have occurred and is continuing, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 

(b) When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of
Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Issuer shall promptly (which shall be within ten Business Days after becoming aware of such Default) deliver to the

or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose
of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that 
 (A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance
sheet of the Issuer, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet shall not be deemed to be

to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; 
 (vii) Indebtedness of the Issuer to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness owing to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes;
provided, further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such

provided further that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness

event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Issuer or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall be deemed in

 (xxv) prior to the Assumption, the Subordinated Note. 

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09: 

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through (xxv) of Section 4.09(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses or Section 4.09(a) hereof. Additionally, all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness may later be classified as having been incurred pursuant to any category of
permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxv) of Section 4.09(b) hereof or pursuant to Section 4.09(a) so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of
reclassification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Indebtedness outstanding under the New Credit Facilities on the Issue Date will be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under clause (i) of Section 4.09(b) hereof and may not later be
reclassified; and 

  
 - 72 -

 (ii) the Issuer shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of
Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b) hereof. 
 Accrual of
interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall not be
deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. 
 For
purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the
relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness
denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus the aggregate amount of fees
and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing. 
 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. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly
or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may
be. 
 This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is
unsecured or (2) Senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral or guaranteed, if at all, by
different guarantors. 
 Section 4.10. Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate an Asset Sale, unless: 

(i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at
least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 
 (ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash
Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 
 (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such
Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other
than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated 

  
 - 73 -

 
to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,

 (B) any securities or other obligations received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such
transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and 

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having
an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 1.25% of
Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value, 
 shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose. 

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may
apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, 
 (i) to reduce or repay: 

(A) Obligations under the New Credit Facilities, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

 (B) Obligations under Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) that is secured by a Lien, which
Lien is permitted by this Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 
 (C)
Obligations under other Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that, to the extent the Issuer reduces Obligations under such Indebtedness, the Issuer
shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under “Section 3.07 hereof,” through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer
(in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, on
the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or 
 (D) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, other
than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary (and correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); 
 (ii) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or another of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures or (C) acquisitions of other properties or assets, in the
case of each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Similar Business; or 
 (iii) to make (A) an
Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of
the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, or (B) acquisitions of other properties or assets that, in the case of each of (A) and (B), replace the businesses, properties or assets that are the
subject of such Asset Sale; 

  
 - 74 -

 provided that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.10(b), a
binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net
Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within the later of (x) 450 days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds and (y) 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable
Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”)
within 180 days of such Second Commitment; provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds if not otherwise
invested or applied pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above within 450 days of the receipt of such Net Proceeds. 

(c) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in
Section 4.10(b) hereof will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms
of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the
Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess
Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $25.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator or otherwise in accordance
with the procedures of DTC. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the Application Period.

 To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the
Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds,
the Issuer shall purchase such Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of
Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under any revolving credit facility or otherwise use such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

 (e) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 

The provisions of this Section 4.10 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding. 
 Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $7.5 million, unless: 

  
 - 75 -

 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less
favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and 

(ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an
Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) of this Section 4.11(a). 
 (b) The provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof shall not apply to the following: 
 (i) transactions between or among the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction;

things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as
the same may be amended from time to time); provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Issuer in good faith shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.14. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 
 (a)
If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of
the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control,
the Issuer shall deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Security
Register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information: 
 (i) that a
Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer; 

(ii) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date
such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (iii) that any Note not
properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 
 (iv) that unless the Issuer
defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(v) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender
such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

  
 - 78 -

 (vi) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and
their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes, provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of
the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(vii) that if the Issuer is redeeming less than all of the Notes, the Holders of the remaining Notes shall be issued new
Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

(viii) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control
Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (ix) the other instructions, as
determined by us, consistent with this Section 4.14. 
 The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is
defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuer shall
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer
will, to the extent permitted by law, 
 (i) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof
properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal
to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and 
 (iii)
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Indenture Administrator for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been
tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. 
 (c) The issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following 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 Issuer and purchases
all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

 (e) The provisions of this Section 4.14 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Notes. 
 Section 4.15. Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted
Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the
Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantee all or a portion of the New Credit Facilities (solely to the extent 

  
 - 79 -

 
relating to obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor)), other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Foreign Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor unless: 
 (a) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days after the guarantee of such Indebtedness
executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture the form of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto and joinder providing for a senior Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that 

(i) if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such
Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes; and 
 (ii)
if the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment to such Indebtedness, the Guarantee under the supplemental indenture shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee with respect to
such Indebtedness substantially to the same extent as the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee are subordinated to such Indebtedness; and 
 (b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against
the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee until payment in full of Obligations under this Indenture; 
 provided that this Section 4.15 shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred
in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to
cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case, such Subsidiary shall only be required to comply with the 30-day period described in clause (a) above. 

Section 4.16. Activities Prior to the Escrow Release Date. 

(a) Prior to the earlier of the Escrow Release Date or the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Issuer’s primary activities will be
restricted to issuing the Notes, borrowings under the New Credit Facilities, issuing a subordinated note to DBI representing an amount equal to the amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents received by the Escrow Issuer from DBI on the Issue Date (the
“Subordinated Note”), performing its obligations in respect of the Notes under this Indenture, the New Credit Facilities, the Escrow Agreement and the New Credit Facilities Escrow Agreement, consummating the Recapitalization and
redeeming the Notes pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, if applicable, and conducting such other activities and transactions in connection with, or as are necessary or appropriate to carry out, the activities described above. Prior to the earlier
of the Escrow Release Date or the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Issuer will not own, hold or otherwise have any interest in any assets other than the Escrow Account and cash and Cash Equivalents. 

(b) Prior to the earlier of the Escrow Release Date or the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries
shall not engage in any activity or enter into any transaction or agreement (including, without limitation, making any Restricted Payment, incurring any Indebtedness or other obligation, incurring any Liens (except in favor of the Holders of the
Notes or the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee and in favor of the collateral agent under the New Credit Facilities), entering into any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or engaging in any transaction with
its Affiliates) except for the activities, transactions and agreements in the ordinary course of business or necessary to effectuate the Transactions substantially in accordance with the description of the Transactions set forth in the Offering
Memorandum, together with such modifications or alterations that are not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to DBI and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions), or to the
Holders. 

  
 - 80 -

 (c) If the Escrow Release Date occurs, any activity engaged in or transaction or agreement
entered into by DBI or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the period from and including the Issue Date and ending on the Escrow Release Date (the “Escrow Period”), which would have been subject to Section 3.09 hereof and
Article 4 hereof had DBI and the Restricted Subsidiaries been party to this Indenture during the Escrow Period shall be deemed to have occurred on the Issue Date as if all such covenants had been applicable to DBI and the Restricted Subsidiaries
since the Issue Date and all calculations made under this Indenture shall be made as if such covenants had been applicable to DBI and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
any activity engaged in or transaction or agreement entered into by DBI or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Escrow Period that are required to be performed by them pursuant to, or necessary to fulfill their obligations under, the
indenture governing the ABS Notes and all documentation related thereto and the issuance of the Notes shall be permitted and shall not be the basis for any Default hereunder. 
 Section 4.17. Covenant Suspension. 
 (a) If following the first
day, (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Ratings Agencies; and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants
(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) described under: 
 (i) Section 3.09; 

(ii) Section 4.07; 
 (iii) Section 4.08; 
 (iv) Section 4.09; 

(i) Section 4.10; 
 (v) Section 4.11; 
 (ii) Section 4.14; and 

(vi) Section 5.01(a)(iv). 
 (b) If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended
Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or
assessment to determine compliance with the terms hereof), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in
effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this
Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during
the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable
Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

(c) On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant
to Section 4.09(a) hereof or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.09(b) hereof (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred
prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or 

  
 - 81 -

 
Section 4.09(b) hereof, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (iii) of Section 4.09(b)
hereof. Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof will be made as though the covenants described under Section 4.07 hereof had been in effect since
the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) hereof. 

(d) During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the board of directors of the Issuer may not designate any of the
Issuer’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.

solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Issuer in any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not
increased thereby; provided that in the case where the Issuer is reorganized as a Person that is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation. 
 (c) In addition, the Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving

transfer all or part of its properties and assets to a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Issuer, (ii) merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Guarantor in the United States, any state

 - 83 -

 
properties and assets, if held by the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, shall be
deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer. 
 (f) The predecessor company
will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture, but, in the case of a lease of all or

sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this
Indenture referring to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall refer instead to the Successor Person and not to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as
applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer or a Guarantor, as applicable, herein; provided that the predecessor Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the

to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both: 
 (A) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation

 (viii) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Subsidiaries
that together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal period end provided as required under Section 4.03) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full
force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (determined as of the
most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal period end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies in writing that it has any further
liability under its or their Guarantee(s) or gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

(b) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, such Event of Default and all
consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after
such Event of Default arose: 
 (i) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has
been discharged; 
 (ii) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case
may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or 
 (iii) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default
has been cured. 
 Section 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in
clause (vi) and clause (vii) of Section 6.01(a)) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes) shall or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. 

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (vi) and clause (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Trustee may withhold from the
Holders notice of any continuing Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if a committee of its trust officers determines that
withholding notice is in the Holders’ interest. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture (except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the
principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) and rescind any acceleration and its consequences with respect to the Notes, provided such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available
remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer; provided that any waiver or rescission under this Section 6.04 shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to
provide a copy 

  
 - 86 -

 
of such notice to the Issuer) may on behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder (except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission
would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 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 impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05.
Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may 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. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve
the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to
receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) Holders of the Notes have offered and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 (e) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive
Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent
of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any,
Additional Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal, if applicable, and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to
enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture 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, subject to any determination in
such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall 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 has been instituted. 
 Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, 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 

  
 - 87 -

 
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 6.11. 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 6 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 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee and their respective agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such
matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such 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 Indenture Administrator, the Trustee and their respective agents and counsel any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the
payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Administrator and Trustee under Section 7.07
hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained 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, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 Section 6.13. Priorities. If the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee, their respective agents and
counsel, or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 (a) to the Indenture Administrator, Trustee, their respective agents and counsel, or such Agent, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Administrator, Trustee or such Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 

(b) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any,
and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

(c) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if
applicable. 
 The Trustee (or the Indenture Administrator on its behalf) may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders
pursuant to this Section 6.13. 
 Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its 

  
 - 88 -

 
discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01. Duties of the Indenture Administrator and Trustee. 

(a) If 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 its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, and the Indenture Administrator: 

(i) need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in
the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence on its part, 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 Indenture
Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture
Administrator or the Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or

 (ii) neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer thereof, unless it is proved in a court of competent

Trustee, as applicable. 

  
 - 89 -

 Section 7.02. Rights of the Indenture Administrator and Trustee.

 (a) Subject to Section 7.01, each of the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may conclusively rely on any document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee need investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. If however, the Indenture Administrator or the
Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled during normal business hours of the Issuer to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney upon
reasonable prior notice.

an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel. No such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee. 
 (c) Any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer’s Order, and any resolution of the board of directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a
board resolution. 
 (d) Each of the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(e) Each of the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may act through agents or attorneys, and neither the Indenture Administrator nor
the Trustee shall be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care.

 (g) Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee (except with respect to Section 6.01 shall have any duty to
inquire as to the performance of the Issuer with respect to the covenants contained in Article IV. In addition, neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, except
(i) with respect to the Indenture Administrator any Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(i) or Section 6.01(a)(ii) (the Indenture Administrator agrees to promptly notify the Trustee of such a Default or
Event of Default upon a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Administrator acquiring actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Administrator or
the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may, in the absence of such actual knowledge or receipt of such
written notification, conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Indenture Administrator or to the Trustee under Article IV (other than Section 4.04) is for
informational purposes only and the receipt by the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which each of the Indenture Administrator and Trustee is entitled to rely on Officer’s Certificates). 

(h) Subject to Section 7.01(a), neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested 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 Indenture Administrator or to the Trustee, as applicable, security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, against any loss, costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 - 90 -

 (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture
Administrator and the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent,
custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 (j) The Indenture Administrator or the Trustee may request that the
Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person
authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superceded. 
 (k) Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or reasonably adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 

(l) Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Indenture Administrator shall have any duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or
depositing of this Indenture or any Indenture referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording,
refiling or redepositing of any thereof or (ii) to see to any insurance. 
 (m) In the event the Issuer is required to pay
Additional Interest, the Issuer will provide written notice to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee of the Issuer’s obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than 15 days prior to the next Interest Payment Date, which notice shall
set forth the amount of the Additional Interest to be paid by the Issuer. Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holders to determine whether the Additional Interest is
payable to the amount thereof. 
 (n) Delivery of reports, information and documents (including without limitation reports
contemplated under Section 4.03 hereof) to the Indenture Administrator or to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and receipt by the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, of such shall not constitute constructive
notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 (o) The rights of the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee
to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be answerable other than for its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
such act. 
 (p) Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be required to give any bond or surety in respect of
the execution of the powers granted hereunder. 
 (q) Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be responsible
or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes;
fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service, accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military
authority or governmental actions (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances). 

(r) In accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, the Indenture Administrator will obtain, verify, and record information that identifies individuals or entities that establish a relationship or open an account with the Indenture Administrator. The Indenture Administrator will ask for
the name, address, tax identification number and other information that will allow the Indenture Administrator to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or 

  
 - 91 -

 
opening the account. The Indenture Administrator may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided.

 (s) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the
Indenture Administrator that the Indenture Administrator in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted. The recipient of the email communication will be
required to complete a one-time registration process. Information and assistance on registering and using the email encryption technology can be found at the Indenture Administrator’s secure website
www.citigroup.com/citigroup/citizen/privacy/email.htm or by calling (866) 535-2504 (in the U.S.) or (904) 954-6181 at any time. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of the Indenture Administrator and Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may
otherwise deal with the Issuer or any of its Affiliates with the same rights the Trustee would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days,
apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign. The Indenture Administrator and any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee, however, is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04. Disclaimer of the Indenture Administrator and Trustee. Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the
Trustee makes any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes. Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the Trustee shall be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to
the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent (other than, with respect to the Indenture Administrator, the
Indenture Administrator), and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than, with respect to the
Indenture Administrator, its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default
or Event of Default occurs and is continuing as to which the Trustee has received notice pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, or as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge, then the Trustee shall mail to
each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after receipt of such notice or after acquiring such knowledge, as applicable, unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a
Default or an Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each November 1st, beginning November 1,
2011, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in Trust Indenture Act
Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all
reports as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the
Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of
the listing or delisting of the Notes on or from any stock exchange. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and
Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee from time to time such compensation for their services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Neither the Indenture Administrator nor the
Trustee’s compensation shall be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them
pursuant to, 

  
 - 92 -

 
and in accordance with, any provision hereof. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, and out-of-pocket expenses of the agents and counsel of the Indenture Administrator and the
Trustee. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Indenture Administrator and the
Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold each of the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee harmless against any and all loss, liability
damage, claim, or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than those based upon the income of the Indenture Administrator or Trustee) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether
asserted by the Issuer, any Holder, any Guarantor, or any other Person, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Issuer need not pay any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each of the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification. Failure by the Indenture Administrator or
the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor shall defend, the claim and the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee will cooperate in the
defense. The Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Indenture Administrator or by the Trustee through the
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable. 
 Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, in no event shall the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever( including,
without limitation, lost-profits), even if the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action. 

To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee
shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The indemnity obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee provided for in this Section 7.07 shall survive any resignation or removal of the
Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable. 
 When the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee incurs expenses or
renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vi) or Section 6.01(a)(vii) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Indenture
Administrator or the Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee shall become effective only upon such successor’s acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. Each of the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may resign by so notifying the Issuer in writing 30 Business Days prior to such resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Issuer in writing and may appoint a successor Indenture Administrator or
successor Trustee with the Issuer’s consent. The Issuer may remove the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee if: 
 (a)
the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, fails to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 7.10 hereof or the Trustee fails to comply with the Trust Indenture Act Section 310; 

  
 - 93 -

 (b) the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is adjudged a bankrupt or an
insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Indenture Administrator or Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 

(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, or its property; or

 (d) the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Administrator
or the Trustee, for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Administrator or Trustee, as the case may be. Within one year after the successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee, as applicable, takes office, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee, as applicable to replace the successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee, as applicable,
appointed by the Issuer. 
 If a successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee, as applicable, does not take office
within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Administrator or retiring Trustee, as applicable, resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Administrator or retiring Trustee, as applicable (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of
at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Administrator or a successor Trustee, as applicable. 

If the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails
to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, the Issuer or such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable and the appointment of a successor Indenture
Administrator or successor Trustee, as applicable. 
 Each successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee, as
applicable, shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Administrator or retiring Trustee, as applicable, and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Administrator or the
retiring Trustee, as applicable, shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee, as applicable, shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, under
this Indenture. The successor Indenture Administrator or the successor Trustee, as applicable, shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Indenture Administrator or the retiring Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Indenture Administrator or as Trustee, as applicable, to the successor Indenture Administrator or successor Trustee, as applicable, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding the replacement
of the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Administrator or retiring Trustee, as applicable.

 Section 7.09. Successor Indenture Administrator or Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Indenture Administrator
or the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture
Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder. 
 Section 7.10.
Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Indenture Administrator and a Trustee hereunder, each of which (a) is an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state
thereof, (b) is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (c) is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and (d) has, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). Nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the
application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of the Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). 

  
 - 94 -

 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The
Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act
Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all
outstanding Notes and Guarantees and all Events of Default cured on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes), and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture including that
of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same) and to have cured all then existing Events of Default, except for the following provisions which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (a) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

(b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and 

(d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Indenture. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04,
4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, and 4.16 hereof and clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01(a), Section 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) and Article 13 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “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, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for
accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other

  
 - 95 -

 
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(a)(iii) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi) (solely with respect to a
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(a)(vii) (solely with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any
group of Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and 6.01(a)(viii) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes: 

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government
Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated
maturity date or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 
 (i) the Issuer has received from, or there
has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (ii) since the issuance of the
Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such
Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such 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; 
 (d) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to
be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the New
Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be
applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions 

  
 - 96 -

 
following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 

(g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit
was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and 
 (h) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions
and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with 

Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject
to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant
to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding 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 the Indenture
Administrator or any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as 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 and interest, but
such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify
the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required
to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to
Issuer. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, 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 Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Indenture Administrator, the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, 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 Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof until such time as the Indenture Administrator, Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be;
provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such
payment from the money held by the Indenture Administrator, Trustee or Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or this Indenture to which it is a party), the
Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 
 (b) to
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 
 (c) to comply with Section 5.01
hereof; 
 (d) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in a
transaction that complies with this Indenture; 
 (e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to
the Holders or that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (f) to add
covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; 
 (g)
to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor trustee or indenture administrator hereunder pursuant to the requirements hereof; 

(i) to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are
not freely transferable; 
 (j) to effect the Assumption; 

(k) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture or release a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(l) to conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of notes” section of
the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in such “Description of notes” section of the Offering Memorandum was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, Guarantee or Notes; 

(m) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this
Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; or 
 (n) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Indenture
Administrator and the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee each shall have the right, but not be obligated to,

  
 - 98 -

 
enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel
nor an Officer’s Certificate shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor after the Escrow Release Date under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee of a
supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto. 
 Section 9.02.
With Consent of Holders. Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, and, subject to Section 6.04 and 6.07
hereof, Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has
been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this
Section 9.02. 
 Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02
may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose
Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of
any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof or notice periods (to the extent consistent with
applicable requirements of clearing and settlement systems) and conditions to redemption); 
 (c) reduce the rate of or change
the time for payment of interest on any Note; 
 (d) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a
covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders; 
 (e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated therein; 
 (f) make any
change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; 

(g) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions; 
 (h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on
or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; 
 (i) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely
affect the Holders; or 
 (j) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant
Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal period end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary), in any manner adverse to the Holders. 

  
 - 99 -

 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as
aforesaid, the Indenture Administrator and Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Indenture
Administrator’s or the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into
such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or
waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall
be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies in all material respects with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder
of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder
of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Issuer 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. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or
their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Indenture Administrator may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter
authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Indenture Administrator shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.06. Indenture Administrator and Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Indenture
Administrator and the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Indenture Administrator
or the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the board of directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee shall be provided with,
upon request, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms,
subject to customary exceptions, and complies with 

  
 - 100 -

 
the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required for the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee to execute
the supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, adding DBI and the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto on the Escrow Release Date and any supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is
attached as Exhibit E hereto, adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Administrator and to the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations
of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this
is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder
shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof,
the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment in full of all of the Obligations
of the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes). Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 If any Holder, the Indenture Administrator, or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid to the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of
the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees. 

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer
for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an 

  
 - 101 -

 
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’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 of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or
Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment 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. 
 In case any provision of any Guarantee 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. 
 The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall
rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 
 Each payment to
be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after
giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under
applicable law or being void or voidable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors. 
 Section 10.03.
Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its authorized Officers. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature
is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Indenture Administrator authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Indenture Administrator, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

 If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of
Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 
 Section 10.04. Subrogation. Each
Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in
full. 

  
 - 102 -

 Section 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it
will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

Section 10.06. Release of Guarantees. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor shall provide by its terms that it shall be
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuer, the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee is required for the
release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon: 
 (a) (i) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, any sale, exchange,
disposition or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or (y) all or substantially all the assets of
such Subsidiary Guarantor, which sale, exchange, disposition or transfer in each case is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the New Credit Facilities or the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a
result of payment under such guarantee, including a release subject to a contingent reinstatement (provided that if any such guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be
required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof); 
 (iii) the proper designation of any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or 
 (iv) the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance option and Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 
 (b) such Guarantor delivering to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect
as to all Notes, when either: 
 (a) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes
which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Indenture Administrator for cancellation; or 

(b) (i) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Administrator for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Indenture Administrator in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Indenture Administrator as trust funds in trust solely for the
benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Indenture Administrator for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(ii) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred 

  
 - 103 -

 
and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the New
Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be
applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(i) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 

(ii) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Indenture Administrator to apply the deposited money toward
the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee and the Indenture Administrator stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied (other than in the case of a redemption of the Notes in full
under Section 3.08 hereof). 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been
deposited with the Indenture Administrator pursuant to subclause (i) of clause (b) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited
with the Indenture Administrator pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof 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
(including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Indenture Administrator may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited
with the Indenture Administrator; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Indenture Administrator or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with
Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s
obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Indenture Administrator or Paying Agent.

 [Back of Note] 
 9.625% Senior Note due 2018 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. Interest. Dunkin’
Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum of 9.625% from November 23, 2010 until maturity and to pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuer will pay interest on this Note semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2011, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Issuer will make each interest payment to the Holder of record of this Note on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15 (each, a “Record
Date”). Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including November 23, 2010. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest
in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on this Note to the Person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the
close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Note is cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12
of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Issuer, payment may be made by
the Indenture Administrator by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders or, if no such account is specified, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made by check mailed to Holders at
their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by DTC
or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. Until otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s office or agency will be the office of the Indenture Administrator maintained for such purpose. 

3. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Indenture Administrator under the Indenture, will
act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of November 23, 2010 (the
“Indenture”), among Dunkin’ Finance Corp., the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as its 9.625%
Senior Notes due 2018. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 4.09 of the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this
Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

5. Optional Redemption. 
 (a) The Issuer may redeem the Notes at any time, in whole or in part, upon notice in accordance with Sections 3.02 and Section 3.03 hereof, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount of the 

  
 A-5

 
Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders
of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed on or after any of the dates indicated below until the subsequent date indicated below:

that if all the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire amount of 

  
 A-6

 
Notes held by such Holder even if not in a principal amount of at least $2,000 or an integral multiple thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases
to accrue on this Note or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 8. Offers to Repurchase. Upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control, the Issuer shall make a Change of Control Offer in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture. In connection with certain Asset Sales, the Issuer shall make an Asset Sale Offer as and when provided in accordance with

require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register
the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required to exchange or register the transfer of any

 12. Defaults and Remedies.
The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice
to the Issuer 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, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary
obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and
payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer, provided that any waiver or rescission under
Section 6.04 of the Indenture shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to provide a copy of such notice to the Issuer) may on behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the Indenture (except
a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer) and rescind any acceleration with
respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Issuer is required to deliver to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee annually a statement
regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within ten Business Days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect
thereto. 
 13. Authentication. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Indenture Administrator. 
 14. Additional
Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to receive Additional Interest (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). 

  
 A-7

 15. Governing Law. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO
CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES. 
 16. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.
No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 [FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS]

 Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of
                    , among
                     (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Dunkin’ Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Issuer”), Citibank, N.A., as indenture administrator (the “Indenture Administrator”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 

W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, Dunkin’ Finance Corp. has heretofore executed and delivered to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of November 23,
2010, providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes due 2018; 
 WHEREAS, the
Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Administrator and to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the “Guarantee”); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee are authorized to execute and
deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows: 
 (1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

(2) Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: 

(a) Along with all other Guarantors named in the Indenture (including pursuant to any supplemental indentures), to jointly
and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Administrator and to the Indenture Administrator, the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 

(i) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee thereunder
shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms thereof; and 
 (ii) in case of any extension
of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection. 

  
 E-1

 (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Issuer or any other Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. 

(c) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby waives: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in
the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 
 (d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all
obligations applicable to a Guarantor under the Indenture, including Article 10 of the Indenture (which is deemed incorporated in this Supplemental Indenture and applicable to this Guarantee). The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that by
executing this Supplemental Indenture, it will become a Guarantor under the Indenture and subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Guarantors contained therein. 

(e) If any Holder, the Indenture Administrator or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuer, the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid to the Indenture Administrator, Trustee or
such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 

(f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of
any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. 
 (g) As between
the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture
for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such
obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee. 

(h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee. 
 (i) Pursuant to
Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to
receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such
that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (j) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’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 the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a
“voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or 

  
 E-2

 
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 Note 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. 
 (k) In case any provision of this Guarantee 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. 
 (l) This Guarantee shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary,
ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any. 
 (m) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 

(3) Execution and Delivery. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 (4) Merger, Consolidation
or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(c) of the Indenture, the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

or other disposition will have been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as applicable, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of
Columbia, or any territory thereof (such surviving Guaranteeing Subsidiary or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”); 
 (B) the Successor Person, if other than such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and such Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s
related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments as necessary; 
 (C) immediately after
such transaction, no Default exists; and 
 (D) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture; or 

(ii) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture or is not subject to Section 4.10;
or 
 (iii) property or assets constitute Equity Interests of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors,
which Equity Interests are sold, assigned, transferred, leased, conveyed or otherwise disposed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary. 

  
 E-3

of such Guarantor which sale, exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guaranteeing Subsidiary of Indebtedness under the New Credit Facilities, or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee,
except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee , including a release subject to a contingent reinstatement (provided that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the
extent that such Guaranteeing Subsidiary would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 in the Indenture); 
 (iii) the proper designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or 

(iv) the exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8
of the Indenture or the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and 
 (b) such Guaranteeing Subsidiary delivering to the Indenture Administrator and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for

	 	Re:	9.625% Senior Notes due 2018 

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[            ]
principal amount of the 9.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) of Dunkin’ Finance Corp. (the “Issuer”). 
 In connection with the proposed transfer of Notes, the undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 
 1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”))
purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with,
any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in the Notes and we invest in or purchase securities
similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and
on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any
affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof, (b) pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A of the
Securities Act (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S.
persons that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under
the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a 

  
 F-1

 
minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000 for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of the Securities Act or
(f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor
account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale shall not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or
other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuer
and the Registrar, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and that it is
acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer and the Registrar reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale
Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clauses (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar. 

3. We [are][are not] an Affiliate of the Issuer.
