from time to time, this “Indenture”), among HD Supply, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware, as issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time parties hereto, and Wilmington Trust, National
Association, as Trustee. 
 RECITALS OF THE COMPANY 
 The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of the Notes. 
 All things necessary to make the Original Notes, when executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee hereunder and duly issued by the Company, the valid obligations
of the Company, and to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Original Notes and this Indenture, have been done. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH: 
 For and in consideration of the
premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually agreed, for the benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS  

OF GENERAL APPLICATION 
 Section 101. Definitions. 
 “2007 Transactions” means
the “Transactions” as defined in the Senior Subordinated Indenture. 
 “ABL Agent” has the meaning
assigned to such term in the Base Intercreditor Agreement. 
 “Acquired Indebtedness” means Indebtedness of a
Person (i) existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary or (ii) assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person, in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or in
contemplation of, such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such acquisition. Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to be Incurred on the date of the related acquisition of assets from any Person or the date the acquired Person becomes a Subsidiary.

 “Acquisition Indebtedness” means Indebtedness of (A) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
Incurred to finance or refinance, or otherwise Incurred in connection with, any acquisition of any assets (including Capital Stock), business or Person, or any merger or 

 
consolidation of any Person with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or (B) any Person that is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary (including Indebtedness thereof Incurred in connection with any such acquisition, merger or consolidation). 
 “Additional Assets” means (i) any property or assets that replace the property or assets that are the subject of an Asset Disposition; (ii) any property or assets
(other than Indebtedness and Capital Stock) used or to be used by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise useful in a Related Business (including any capital expenditures on any property or assets already so used); (iii) the
Capital Stock of a Person that is engaged in a Related Business and becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; or (iv) Capital Stock of any Person
that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary acquired from a third party. 
 “Additional Notes” means any notes
issued under this Indenture in addition to the Original Notes (other than any Notes issued pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 312(c), 312(d) or 1009). 

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, THD and its Affiliates
will not be deemed to be Affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 “Asset Disposition” means any
sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than directors’ qualifying shares, or (in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary) to the extent required by applicable law), property or other
assets (each referred to for the purposes of this definition as a “disposition”) by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any disposition by means of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction), other than
(i) a disposition to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) a disposition in the ordinary course of business, (iii) a disposition of Cash Equivalents, Investment Grade Securities or Temporary Cash
Investments, (iv) the sale or discount (with or without recourse, and on customary or commercially reasonable terms) of accounts receivable or notes receivable arising in the ordinary course of business, or the conversion or exchange of
accounts receivable for notes receivable, (v) any Restricted Payment Transaction, (vi) a disposition that is governed by Article V, (vii) any Financing Disposition, (viii) any “fee in lieu”
or other disposition of assets to any governmental authority or agency that continue in use by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may obtain title to such assets upon reasonable notice by
paying a nominal fee, (ix) any exchange of property pursuant to or intended to qualify under Section 1031 (or any successor section) of the Code, or any exchange of equipment to be leased, rented or otherwise used in a Related
Business, (x) any 

  
 2 

 
financing transaction with respect to property built or acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, including without limitation any sale/leaseback transaction or
asset securitization, (xi) any disposition arising from foreclosure, condemnation or similar action with respect to any property or other assets, or exercise of termination rights under any lease, license, concession or other agreement,
or pursuant to buy/sell arrangements under any joint venture or similar agreement or arrangement, (xii) any disposition of Capital Stock, Indebtedness or other securities of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (xiii) a disposition of
Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement or other obligation with or to a Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) from whom such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired, or from whom such Restricted Subsidiary
acquired its business and assets (having been newly formed in connection with such acquisition), entered into in connection with such acquisition, (xiv) a disposition of not more than 5.0% of the outstanding Capital Stock of a Foreign

Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma
effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed,
defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including without limitation in respect of anticipated net cost savings or synergies relating to any such Sale, Purchase or
other transaction) shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or an authorized Officer of the Company; provided that such net cost savings or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable. If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire

interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary

 Section 104. Incorporation by Reference of
TIA. Whenever this Indenture refers to a provision of the TIA, the provision is incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, this Indenture is subject to the mandatory
provisions of the TIA, which are incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Indenture. Any terms incorporated by reference in this Indenture that are defined by the TIA, defined by any TIA reference to another statute or defined by SEC

 51 

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

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (except for
certificates provided for in Section 406) shall include: 
 (1) a statement that the individual
signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; 
 (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

 Section 107. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary
that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an Officer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which 

  
 52 

 
his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an Officer or Officers to the effect that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents,
certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 108. Acts of Noteholders; Record Dates. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company, as the case may be. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby)
are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 701) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, if made in the manner provided in this Section 108. 

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

(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind the
Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 (e) (i) The Company may set any day as a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given,
made or taken by Holders of Notes, provided that 

  
 53 

 
the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to
in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not
such Persons remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such
record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such
action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in
writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110. 
 (ii) The Trustee may
set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of (A) any Notice of Default, (B) any declaration of acceleration referred to in
Section 602, (C) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 607(ii) or (D) any direction referred to in Section 612, in each case with respect to Notes. If any record date
is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any
Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each
Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110. 
 (iii) With respect to any record date set
pursuant to this Section 108, the party hereto that sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided
that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Company or the Trustee, whichever such party is not setting a record date 

  
 54 

 
pursuant to this Section 108(e) in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 108, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the
Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 

(iv) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any
particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

 (v) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including the Depositary, that is the Holder
of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and
the Depositary, as the Holder of a Global Note, may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices. 

(vi) The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the persons who are beneficial owners of interests
in any Global Note held by the Depositary entitled under the procedures of such depositary to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request,
demand, authorization direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or
effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date. 
 Section 109. Notices, Etc., to Trustee
and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 

(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or by any other obligor upon the Notes shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at 246 Goose Lane, Suite 105, Guilford, Connecticut 06437, Attention: Corporate Trust Department (telephone: (203) 453-4130; telecopier:
(203) 453-1183), or at any other address furnished in writing to the Company by the Trustee, or 

  
 55 

 (2) [Reserved]; 

(3) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Company at HD Supply, Inc., 3100 Cumberland Boulevard, Suite 1480, Atlanta, GA 30339, Attention: General Counsel (telephone: (770) 852-9000; telecopier: (770) 852-9466); with copies to
Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Steven J. Slutzky, Esq. and Paul D. Brusiloff, Esq., (telephone: (212) 909-6000; telecopier: (212) 909-6836), or at any other address
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company; or 
 (4) the Company or the Trustee, by notice to the other,
may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 
 Section 110. Notices to
Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or by overnight air
courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of
such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by reason of any
other cause, it shall be impossible to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) shall constitute
a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note,
where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Note (or
its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary. 
 Section 111. Effect of Headings and Table of
Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

  
 56 

 Section 112. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture by the Company shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 

Section 113. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 114. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any
Paying Agent and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 115. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE TRUSTEE, THE COMPANY, ANY OTHER OBLIGOR IN RESPECT OF THE NOTES AND (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOTES) THE HOLDERS AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN, IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE NOTES. 

Section 116. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Note
shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of interest or principal and premium (if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may
be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the
intervening period. 
 Section 117. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators and
Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary of any thereof shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any such obligation or its creation. Each Noteholder, by accepting the Notes, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 Section 118. Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and
schedules attached hereto are by this reference made a part hereof with the same effect as if herein set forth in full. 

Section 119. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original;
but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

  
 57 

 Section 120. Force Majeure. To the extent permitted by the TIA, in no event
shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services (it
being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances). 

ARTICLE II 

NOTE FORMS 
 Section 201. Forms Generally. The Initial Notes and Initial Additional Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication relating thereto shall be in substantially the forms set
forth, or referenced, in this Article and Exhibit A annexed hereto (as such forms may be modified in accordance with Section 301). Exhibit A is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The
Notes may have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, notations, legends, endorsements, identifications and other variations as are required or permitted by law, stock exchange rule or depositary rule or usage, agreements to which
the Company is subject, if any, or other customary usage, or as may consistently herewith be determined by the Officers of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by such execution (provided always that any such notation, legend,
endorsement, identification or variation is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture. Any portion of
the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note. 

Initial Notes and any Initial Additional Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall, unless the Company otherwise
notifies the Trustee in writing, be issued in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (as such form may be modified in accordance with Section 301), except as
otherwise permitted herein. Such Global Notes shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Rule 144A Global Notes,” and deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, for credit to an account of an
Agent Member, and shall be duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of a Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the
records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 
 Initial Notes and any
Initial Additional Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act shall, unless the Company otherwise notifies the Trustee in writing, be issued in the form of one or more temporary global Notes
in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (as such form may be modified in accordance with Section 301), except as otherwise permitted herein. Such Global Notes shall be

  
 58 

 
referred to herein as the “Temporary Regulation S Global Notes,” and shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee for the accounts of
designated Agent Members holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream and shall be duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. 
 Following the expiration of the distribution compliance period set forth in Regulation S (the “Distribution Compliance Date”) with respect to any Temporary Regulation S Global Note,
beneficial interests in such Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 312 and 313 for beneficial interests in one or more permanent global Notes in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit A hereto (as such form may be modified in accordance with Section 301), except as otherwise permitted herein. Such Global Notes shall be referred to herein as the “Permanent Regulation S Global Notes” and,
together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Notes, as the “Regulation S Global Notes.” The Permanent Regulation S Global Notes shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee for credit to the
account of an Agent Member and shall be duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Simultaneously with the authentication of a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the related
Temporary Regulation S Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of a Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made in the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee,
as hereinafter provided. 
 Subject to the limitations on the issuance of certificated Notes set forth in
Sections 312 and 313, Initial Notes and any Initial Additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 305 in exchange for or upon transfer of beneficial interests (x) in a Rule 144A Global Note shall be in the
form of permanent certificated Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (as such form may be modified in accordance with Section 301) (the “Rule 144A Physical Notes”) or (y) in a
Regulation S Global Note (if any), on or after the Regulation S Note Exchange Date with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, shall be in the form of permanent certificated Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A
hereto (as such form may be modified in accordance with Section 301) (the “Regulation S Physical Notes”), respectively, as hereinafter provided. 
 The Rule 144A Physical Notes and Regulation S Physical Notes shall be construed to include any certificated Notes issued in respect thereof pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306 or
1009, and the Rule 144A Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes shall be construed to include any global Notes issued in respect thereof pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306 or 1009. The Rule 144A Physical

Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes, together with any other global Notes that are issued and authenticated pursuant to this Indenture, are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Global Notes.”

 ARTICLE III 
 THE NOTES 

Section 301. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding
under this Indenture is not limited. The Initial Notes will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of up to $757,002,000. Additional Notes will vote (or consent) as a class with the other Notes (except as otherwise provided in
Section 902) and otherwise be treated as Notes (except as otherwise provided in Section 902) for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 The Notes shall be known and designated as the “14.875% Senior Notes due 2020” of the Company. The final Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be October 12, 2020. 

Interest on the Outstanding principal amount of Notes will accrue at a rate of 14.875% per annum and will be payable semi-annually
in arrears on April 12 and October 12 in each year, commencing on October 12, 2012, to holders of record on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1, respectively (each such April 1 and October 1, a
“Regular Record Date”). Interest on the Original Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from April 12, 2012, and interest on any
Additional Notes will accrue (or will be deemed to have accrued) from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid on such Additional Notes, from the Interest Payment Date immediately
preceding the date of issuance of such Additional Notes, or if the date of issuance of such Additional Notes is an Interest Payment Date, from such date of issuance; provided that if any Note is surrendered for exchange on or after a record
date for an Interest Payment Date that will occur on or after the date of such exchange, interest on the Note received in exchange thereof will accrue from the date of such Interest Payment Date. 

  
 63 

 For any semi-annual period ending on or prior to October 12, 2017, interest on the
Outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall be payable entirely by increasing the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (“PIK Interest”). 
 PIK Interest shall be payable on the related Interest Payment Date by increasing the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable
semi-annual interest period (a “PIK Payment”), as hereinafter provided. On the Interest Payment Date for such PIK Payment, the principal amount of each Note shall be increased by the amount of the PIK Interest payable, rounded up to
the nearest $1.00, for the relevant semi-annual interest period on the principal amount of such Note as of the relevant Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, to the credit of the Holders of such Notes on such Regular Record Date,
pro rata in accordance with their interests, automatically without any further action by any Person. In the case of the Global Notes, such increase in principal amount shall be recorded in the Note Registrar’s books and records and in
the schedule to the Global Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Alternatively, the Company may elect, at its option, to issue a new Note or new Notes having a principal amount equal to the amount of the PIK Payment, in accordance with
Section 303. The Company shall notify the Note Registrar of the amount of PIK Interest due on any Interest Payment Date on or prior to such Interest Payment Date. 
 For any semi-annual interest period starting on or after October 12, 2017, interest on the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall be payable entirely in cash (“Cash
Interest”). 
 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including Cash Interest) on the Notes
will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or such other office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of Cash Interest may be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated to the Company by the Person entitled thereto or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register. 

References in this Indenture and the Notes to the “principal amount” of the Notes shall include increases in the principal
amount of the Notes as a result of any PIK Payment. 
 Section 302. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only
in fully registered form, without coupons, and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 (the “Minimum Denomination”), and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, subject to the provisions of Section 301 in respect
of increases in principal amount of the Notes resulting from any PIK Payment and provided that Notes issued as PIK Payments need not satisfy the Minimum Denomination requirement or be issued in multiples of $1000. 

Section 303. Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one
Officer of the Company. The signature of any such Officer on the Notes may be manual or by facsimile. 

  
 64 

 Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time an
Officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of such Notes. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $757,002,000, and (ii) Additional Notes in one or
more series from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company, in each case specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above, upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s
Certificate of the Company (an “Authentication Order”). Such Officer’s Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, the “CUSIP”,
“ISIN”, “Common Code” or other similar identification numbers of such Notes, if any, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or Physical
Notes and such other information as the Company may include or the Trustee may reasonably request. 
 All Notes shall be dated
the date of their authentication. 
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 The Company may issue Notes hereunder in
payment of PIK Interest on the Notes, which Notes shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Issue Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in connection with the payment of PIK Interest on the Notes, the Company shall
not be required to issue, and the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate, Physical Notes if the Company has directed the Paying Agent to record the payment of such PIK Interest as of the relevant Interest Payment Date in the Note
Registrar’s books and records and in the schedule of principal amount of each relevant Global Note outstanding or has arranged for the deposit of a Global Note or Global Notes in the applicable principal amount on or prior to the relevant
Interest Payment Date into the account specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. If the Company elects to issue new Notes in payment of PIK Interest, in lieu of increasing the outstanding principal amount of the existing Notes with respect to the
payment of interest on Notes that are Physical Notes for any semi-annual period ending on or prior to October 12, 2017, (i) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, no later than two Business Days prior to the relevant Interest
Payment Date, the required amount of Notes, together with an order to authenticate and deliver such Notes in accordance with this Section 303, and (ii) such Notes, if executed and authenticated pursuant to this
Section 303, shall be mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown in the Note Register as of the relevant Regular Record Date. 

  
 65 

 Section 304. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and upon receipt of an
Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes of the same series and tenor. 
 Section 305. Registrar and Paying
Agent. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively
referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Company may have one or more
co-registrars. The term “Note Registrar” includes any co-registrars. 
 The Company shall also maintain an
office or agent within the United States where Notes may be presented for payment; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of cash interest on a Note may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account designated to the Company by the Person entitled to do so or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as “Note Registrar” and “Paying Agent” in connection with the Notes, until
such time as it has resigned or a successor has been appointed. The Company may have one or more additional paying agents, and the term “Paying Agent” shall include any additional Paying Agent. The Company may change the Paying
Agent or Note Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of Notes. The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Note Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. Any such agency agreement shall implement the
provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as
such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 707. The Company or any wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company may act as Paying Agent (except for purposes of Section 1102 or
Section 1205) or Note Registrar. 

  
 66 

 Upon surrender for transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment, in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Indenture and applicable law, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes
of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder,
Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes
surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed, by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration, transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 
 The Company
shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption (or purchase) of Notes selected for
redemption (or purchase) under Section 1004 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Note so selected for redemption (or purchase) in whole or in part. 

The Note Registrar shall record in the Note Register the increase in principal amount of each Note as a result of any PIK Payment and the
related Interest Payment Date of such PIK Payment. No consent of the Holders shall be required for any such increase in principal amount of any Note or for the recording thereof in the Note Register. Unless the Company elects otherwise, pursuant to
Section 301, the Company shall not be required to execute, and the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate and deliver, any Note to reflect any such increase in the principal amount of any Note as a result of any PIK Payment (other
than with respect to Physical Notes (if any) in accordance with the following paragraph), nor shall the Company, the Trustee or the Note Registrar be required to make any notation on any Note to reflect any such increase in principal amount (other
than any notation on any Global Note that may be made by the Note Registrar in accordance with Section 312(h)). 

If the Global Notes have been exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with Section 312(b), or in respect of the Initial
Notes originally issued in the form of Physical Notes, 

  
 67 

 
at any time after any PIK Payment in accordance with Section 301, upon surrender for transfer or exchange of any Physical Note as provided in this Section 305, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees or the Holder of such Physical Note, as the case may be, one or more new Physical Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the
then current principal amount of the Physical Note being transferred or exchanged which principal amount shall reflect all increases in the principal amount thereof as a result of PIK Payments made, as recorded in the Note Register. 

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar or if the
Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such
that the Holder (a) satisfies the Company or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Note Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such
notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (c) satisfies any other
reasonable requirements of the Company. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Company to
protect the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Note Registrar, from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 306, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 307. Payment of Interest
Rights Preserved. Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest specified in Section 301. For the 

  
 68 

 
avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, interest that is paid in the form of PIK Interest shall be considered paid or duly provided for, for all
purposes of this Indenture and the Notes, and shall not be considered overdue. 
 Any interest (including Cash Interest) on any
Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of
having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date
of the proposed payment, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee or Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee and the
Paying Agent of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any
Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Note. 

  
 69 

 Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to
Section 307) interest on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 309. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption,
transfer, exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or
in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 309, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures
(subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). 
 Section 310. Computation of Interest.
Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months. 
 Section 311. CUSIP
Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee may use the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code”
numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers printed in the notice or on
the Notes; that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; and that any redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 

Section 312. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered
in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to the account of an Agent Member, and (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary. Neither the Company
nor any agent of the Company shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent
Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or its custodian, or under such Global Notes. The Depositary may be treated by the Company, any other obligor upon
the Notes, the Trustee and any agent of any of them as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee or any

  
 70 

 
agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Note. The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests
through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (b) Transfers
of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global
Note may not be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes unless (i) the Company has consented thereto in writing, or such transfer or exchange is made pursuant to the next sentence, and (ii) such transfer or exchange is in
accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Sections 305 and 313. Subject to the limitation on issuance of Physical Notes set forth in Section 313(3), Physical Notes shall be
transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the relevant Global Note, if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global
Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days; (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a “Clearing Agency” under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days;
(iii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of Physical Notes; or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes and the Trustee has
received a written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Notes. 
 (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a
portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial owners for Physical Notes pursuant to Section 312(b), the Note Registrar shall record on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such
Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and principal amount of
authorized denominations. 
 (d) In connection with a transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners for Physical Notes
pursuant to 
 Section 312(b), the applicable Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary, in exchange for its beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Rule 144A
Physical Notes (in the case of any Rule 144A Global Note) or Regulation S Physical Notes (in the case of any Regulation S Global Note), as the case may be, of authorized denominations. 

(e) The transfer and exchange of a Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance
with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 313) and the procedures therefor of the Depositary. Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes
delivery in the form of an interest in a different Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an 

  
 71 

 
interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to
beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Note Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s
procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the relevant Global Note. Subject to Section 313, the Note Registrar shall, in accordance with such
instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global
Note being transferred. 
 (f) Any Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
Section 312(b) shall, unless such exchange is made on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date applicable to such Note and except as otherwise provided in Section 203 and Section 313, bear the Private
Placement Legend. 
 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, through the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Global Note may be held only through designated Agent Members holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream unless delivery is made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 313. 

(h) The Note Registrar shall record on its books and records the increase in principal amount of each Global Note as a result of any PIK
Payment and the related Interest Payment Date of such PIK Payment and shall record such increase in the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note” attached to such Global Note (or, alternatively, shall record on its books and
records any additional Global Note or Notes issued as a result of any such PIK Payment, which may be issued at the Company’s option pursuant to Section 301). No consent of the Holders shall be required for any such increase in
principal amount of any Global Note (or the issuance of any such additional Global Note or Notes) or for the recording thereof on the Note Registrar’s books and records. 
 Section 313. Special Transfer Provisions. 
 (1) Transfers to
Non-U.S. Persons. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note that is a Restricted Security to any Non-U.S. Person: The Note Registrar shall register such transfer if it complies with
all other applicable requirements of this Indenture (including Section 305) and, 
 (a) if
(x) such transfer is after the relevant Resale Restriction Termination Date with respect to such Note or (y) the proposed transferor has delivered to the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee a Regulation S
Certificate and, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, an opinion of counsel, certifications and other information satisfactory to the Company, and 

  
 72 

 (b) if the proposed transferor is or is acting through an Agent Member
holding a beneficial interest in a Global Note, upon receipt by the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee of (x) the certificate, opinion, certifications and other information, if any, required by clause (a) above and
(y) written instructions given in accordance with the procedures of the Note Registrar and of the Depositary; 
 whereupon
(i) the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer of any Outstanding Physical Note) a decrease in the principal amount of the relevant Global Note in an amount equal
to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the relevant Global Note to be transferred, and (ii) either (A) if the proposed transferee is or is acting through an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in a
relevant Regulation S Global Note, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest
being so transferred or (B) otherwise the Company shall execute and (upon receipt of an Authentication Order) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount. 

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

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

 (b) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Note to be transferred consists of a Physical Note
that after transfer is to be evidenced by an interest in a Global Note or consists of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that after the transfer is to be evidenced by an interest in a different Global Note, upon receipt by the Note Registrar of
written instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Note Registrar’s procedures, whereupon the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the transferee
Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Note or such beneficial interest 

  
 73 

 
in such transferor Global Note to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Note so transferred or reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount
of such transferor Global Note, as the case may be. 
 (3) Limitation on Issuance of Physical Notes. No Physical Note
shall be exchanged for a beneficial interest in any Global Note, except in accordance with Section 312 and this Section 313. 
 A beneficial owner of an interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note (and, in the case of any Additional Notes for which no Temporary Regulation S Global Note is issued, any Regulation S Global Note)
shall not be permitted to exchange such interest for a Physical Note or (in the case of such interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note) an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note until a date, which must be after the Distribution
Compliance Date, on which the Company receives a certificate of beneficial ownership substantially in the form of Exhibit C from such beneficial owner (a “Certificate of Beneficial Ownership”). Such date, as it relates
to a Regulation S Global Note, is herein referred to as the “Regulation S Note Exchange Date.” 
 (4)
Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Note Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Note Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the relevant Resale Restriction Termination Date
with respect to such Notes, (ii) upon written request of the Company after there is delivered to the Note Registrar an opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that neither such legend
nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) with respect to a Regulation S Global Note (on or after the Regulation S Note Exchange Date with
respect to such Regulation S Global Note) or Regulation S Physical Note, in each case with the agreement of the Company, or (iv) such Notes are sold or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

 (5) Other Transfers. The Note Registrar shall effect and register, upon receipt of a written request from the Company
to do so, a transfer not otherwise permitted by this Section 313, such registration to be done in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of this Section 313, upon the furnishing by the proposed transferor or
transferee of a written opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that, and such other certifications or information as the Company may require (including, in the case of a transfer to an Accredited
Investor (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act), a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F) to confirm that, the proposed transfer is being made
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 A
Note that is a Restricted Security may not be transferred other than as provided in this Section 313. A beneficial interest in a Global Note that is a Restricted Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global
Note other than through a transfer in compliance with this Section 313. 

  
 74 

 (6) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each
Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. 

The Note Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to
Section 312 or this Section 313 (including all Notes received for transfer pursuant to Section 313). The Company shall have the right to require the Note Registrar to deliver to the Company, at the Company’s
expense, copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Note Registrar. 
 In connection with any transfer of any Note, the Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Company shall be entitled to receive, shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness
of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the certificates, opinions and other information referred to herein (or in the forms provided herein, attached hereto or to the Notes, or otherwise) received from any Holder and any transferee of any
Note regarding the validity, legality and due authorization of any such transfer, the eligibility of the transferee to receive such Note and any other facts and circumstances related to such transfer.

 Section 402. Maintenance

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

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or its agent, as such office or agency of the Company in
accordance with Section 305 hereof. 
 Section 403. Money for Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the
Company shall at any time act as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including Cash Interest) on, any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including Cash Interest) so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein

 If the Company is not acting as Paying
Agent, it shall, on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including Cash Interest) on, any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and

promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 If the Company is not acting as Paying Agent, the Company
shall cause any Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 403, that such Paying Agent shall

 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including Cash
Interest) on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

  
 76 

 (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including Cash Interest); 
 (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and 

(4) acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Indenture and TIA relating to the
duties, rights and liabilities of such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the
same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including Cash Interest) on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including Cash Interest)
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person,, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall
thereupon cease. 
 Section 404. [Reserved] 

Section 405. SEC Reports. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be required to be or remain subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the SEC (unless such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act or by the SEC), so long as the Notes are Outstanding, the annual reports, information,
documents and other reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or would be so required to file if the Company were so subject. If, at any time, any audited or reviewed financial statements
or information required to be included in any such filing are not reasonably available on a timely basis as a result of the Company’s accountants not being “independent” (as defined pursuant to the Exchange Act and

  
 77 

 
the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder), the Company may, in lieu of making such filing or transmitting or making available the information, documents and reports so required to be
filed, elect to make a filing on an alternative form or transmit or make available unaudited or unreviewed financial statements or information substantially similar to such required audited or reviewed financial statements or information,
provided that (a) the Company shall in any event be required to make such filing and so transmit or make available such audited or reviewed financial statements or information no later than the first anniversary of the date on
which the same was otherwise required pursuant to the preceding provisions of this paragraph (such initial date, the “Reporting Date”) and (b) if the Company makes such an election and such filing has not been made, or
such information, documents and reports have not been transmitted or made available, as the case may be, within 90 days after such Reporting Date, liquidated damages will accrue on the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum from the date that is 90
days after such Reporting Date to the earlier of (x) the date on which such filing has been made, or such information, documents and reports have been transmitted or made available, as the case may be, and (y) the first
anniversary of such Reporting Date (provided that not more than 0.50% per annum in liquidated damages shall be payable for any period regardless of the number of such elections by the Company). The Trustee shall have no independent
responsibility to determine if liquidated damages are due or the amount of any such liquidated damages. 
 The Company will be
deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this Section 405 if any Parent files and provides reports, documents and information of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods, and the Company is not
required to file such reports, documents and information separately under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (after giving effect to any exemptive relief) because of the filings by such Parent. The Company also will comply with the
other provisions of TIA § 314(a). 
 Subject to Article VII, delivery of reports, information and documents to
the Trustee under this Section 405 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt (or constructive receipt) of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable
from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). Subject to Article VII, the
Trustee is not obligated to confirm that the Company has complied with its obligations contained in this Section 405 to file such reports with the SEC or post such reports and information on its website. 

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

  
 78 

 
individual signing any certificate given by any Person pursuant to this Section 406 shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of such Person, in compliance
with TIA § 314(a)(4). 
 Section 407. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company will not, and will not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the
Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would be equal to or greater than 2.00 to 1.00, provided further that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries
that are not Subsidiary Guarantors shall not exceed $150.0 million at any one time outstanding. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing paragraph (a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur the following Indebtedness: 

(i) Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility (including but not limited to in respect of letters of credit or
bankers’ acceptances issued or created thereunder) and Indebtedness Incurred other than under any Credit Facility, and (without limiting the foregoing), in each case, any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, in a maximum principal
amount at any time outstanding not exceeding in the aggregate the amount equal to (A) $2,100.0 million, plus (B) (x) the greater of $1,700.0 million and the Borrowing Base less (y) the aggregate
principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred by Special Purpose Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries and then outstanding pursuant to clause (ix) of this paragraph (b), plus (C) in the event of any refinancing of any
such Indebtedness, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing; 
 (ii) Indebtedness (A) of any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or (B) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such
Indebtedness owed to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be expressly subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of the obligor with respect to the Notes and all Subsidiary Guarantees and provided further
that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary to which such Indebtedness is owed, or other event, that results in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent
transfer of such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) will be deemed, in each case, an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof not permitted by this clause (ii); 

(iii) Indebtedness represented by the Notes, the Senior First Priority Notes and the Senior Second Priority Notes issued
on the Issue Date (or issued in respect thereof or in exchange therefor), any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clause (i) or (ii) above) outstanding on the Issue Date, any Indebtedness represented by Notes issued in
connection with the payment of PIK Interest, and any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (iii) or paragraph (a) above; 

  
 79 

 (iv) Purchase Money Obligations and Capitalized Lease Obligations, and any
Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto; provided that the aggregate principal amount of such Purchase Money Obligations Incurred to finance the acquisition of Capital Stock of any Person at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause
shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of $150.0 million and 3.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets;

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

(vii) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (A) arising from the honoring of a check, draft
or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its Incurrence, or (B) consisting of guarantees, indemnities, obligations in respect of earnouts
or other purchase price adjustments, or similar obligations, Incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Person; 
 (viii) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of (A) letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments or obligations issued, or relating
to liabilities or obligations incurred, in the ordinary course of business (including those issued to governmental entities in connection with self-insurance under applicable workers’ compensation statutes), or (B) completion

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

the Company would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to giving effect thereto; and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to any such Indebtedness; 

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

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

  
 82 

 
Senior Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder, or
(iii) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency
exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Issue Date and then outstanding would exceed, without duplication, the sum of: 
 (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net
Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) beginning on April 30, 2012 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which consolidated financial statements of the

(2) has Pari Passu Lien Priority with respect to the Senior Second Priority Notes, then on the date of such Incurrence after giving effect thereto, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 (any such
Indebtedness, “Secured Indebtedness”), and (y) in the case of any purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 407(b)(viii)(H),
such Indebtedness or Refinancing Indebtedness shall be solely comprised of Subordinated Obligations), (w) from Net Available Cash or an equivalent amount to the extent permitted by Section 411, (x) following the
occurrence of a Change of Control (or other similar event described therein as a “change of control”), but only if the Company shall have complied with Section 415 and, if required, purchased all Notes tendered pursuant to the

Subsidiary to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor that has been subordinated pursuant to Section 407(b)(ii);

connection with any repurchase or other acquisition of Capital Stock (including any options, warrants or other rights in respect thereof) from any Management Investor shall not constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this
Section 409 or any other provision of this Indenture;

 87 

 
effect thereto. The Company, in its sole discretion, may classify any Investment or other Restricted Payment as being made in part under one of the provisions of this Section 409 (or,
in the case of any Investment, the clauses of Permitted Investments) and in part under one or more other such provisions (or, as applicable, clauses). 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 409, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay any cash dividend
or make any cash distribution on or in respect of the Company’s Capital Stock or purchase for cash or otherwise acquire for cash any Capital Stock of the Company or any Parent, for the purpose of paying any cash dividend or making any cash
distribution to, or acquiring Capital Stock of the Company or any Parent for cash from, the Investors, or Guarantee any Indebtedness of any Affiliate of the Company for the purpose of paying such dividend, making such distribution or so acquiring

Section 409(b) or clause (xv) or (xviii) of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” unless at the time and after giving effect to such payment, (x) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of the Company
would have been equal to or less than 6.0 to 1.0 and (y) such payment is otherwise in compliance with this Section 409. 
 Section 410. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause to
exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed
to the Company or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, to a Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) make any loans or advances to the Company or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary
Guarantor, to a Subsidiary Guarantor or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, to a Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that dividend
or liquidation priority between classes of Capital Stock, or subordination of any obligation (including the application of any remedy bars thereto) to any other obligation, will not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction), except
any encumbrance or restriction: 
 (1) pursuant to an agreement or instrument in effect at or entered into on the
Issue Date, any Credit Facility, this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Senior First Priority Documents, the Senior Second Priority Documents, the Senior Subordinated Indenture or the Senior
Subordinated Notes; 
 (2) pursuant to any agreement or instrument of a Person, or relating to Indebtedness or
Capital Stock of a Person, which Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or which agreement or instrument is assumed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an
acquisition of assets from such Person, as in effect at the time of such acquisition, 

  
 88 

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

(4) (A) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that
is subject to a lease, license or similar contract, or the assignment or transfer of any lease, license or other contract, (B) by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property
or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, (C) contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent restricting
the transfer of the property or assets subject thereto, (D) pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in any reciprocal easement agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
(E) pursuant to Purchase Money Obligations that impose encumbrances or restrictions on the property or assets so acquired, (F) on cash or other deposits, net worth or inventory imposed by customers or suppliers under
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, (G) pursuant to customary provisions contained in agreements and instruments entered into in the ordinary course of business (including but not limited to leases and licenses)
or in joint venture and other similar agreements, (H) that arises or is agreed to in the ordinary course of business and does not detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner
material to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, (I) pursuant to Hedging Obligations entered into for bona fide hedging purposes or (J) pursuant to Bank Products Obligations; 

(5) with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary (or any of its property or assets), imposed pursuant to an agreement entered
into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (or the property or assets that are subject to such restriction) pending the closing of such sale or
disposition; 

  
 89 

 (6) by reason of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, or required
by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their businesses; or 
 (7) pursuant to an agreement or instrument (A) relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 407
(i) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial
Agreements (as determined in good faith by the Company), or (ii) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good
faith by the Company) and either (x) the Company determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes or
(y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness, (B) relating to any sale of receivables by or Indebtedness of a Foreign
Subsidiary or (C) relating to Indebtedness of or a Financing Disposition by or to or in favor of any Special Purpose Entity. 
 Section 411. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless 

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

  
 90 

 (iii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset
Disposition is applied by the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows: 
 (A)
first, either (x) to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Secured Indebtedness or any other Indebtedness secured by a Lien (in each case, other than Subordinated Obligations), any Senior Indebtedness
of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor), to prepay, repay or purchase any such Indebtedness or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or
other similar instruments) cash collateralize any such Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) within 450 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt
of such Net Available Cash, or (y) to the extent that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with an amount
equal to Net Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 450 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or, if such investment in Additional
Assets is a project authorized by the Board of Directors that will take longer than such 450 days to complete, the period of time necessary to complete such project; 

(B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with
clause (A) above (such balance, the “Excess Proceeds”), to make an offer to purchase Notes and (to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, or is required by the terms thereof) to purchase, redeem or repay
any other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant and subject to Section 411(b) and Section 411(c) and the agreements governing such other Indebtedness; and 

(C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses
(A) and (B) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Indenture) any general corporate purpose (including but not limited to the repurchase, repayment or other acquisition or retirement of any
Subordinated Obligations); 
 provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness
pursuant to clause (B) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or
purchased. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 411, the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash or equivalent amount in accordance with this Section 411 except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions or equivalent amount that
is not applied in accordance with this Section 411 exceeds $75.0 million. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and/or other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary validly tendered and not withdrawn (or
otherwise subject to purchase, redemption or repayment) in connection with an offer pursuant to 

  
 91 

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

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

  
 92 

 (c) The Company shall, not later than 45 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an
Offer pursuant to this Section 411, mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: (1) that an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of a portion of the Notes has occurred and that such Holder has the
right (subject to the prorating described below) to require the Company to purchase a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the date of purchase (subject to provisions in the applicable Indenture regarding the preservation of payment of interest rights); (2) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed); (3) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 411, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased; and (4) the amount of the Offer. If, upon the
expiration of the period for which the Offer remains open, the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the amount of the Offer, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such
adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of the Minimum Denomination or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof shall be purchased). 

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

Section 412. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an
“Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million unless (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not such an Affiliate and (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of
$40.0 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Section 412(a), any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set
forth in this Section 412(a) if (x) such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or (y) in the event there are no Disinterested Directors, a fairness opinion is provided by a
nationally recognized appraisal or investment banking firm with respect to such Affiliate Transaction.

Section 412(a) will not apply to: 
 (i) any Restricted Payment Transaction, 

  
 93 

 (ii) (1) the entering into, maintaining or performance of any
employment or consulting contract, collective bargaining agreement, benefit plan, program or arrangement, related trust agreement or any other similar arrangement for or with any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of or to

good faith by the Company, such Subsidiary or such Parent), (4) any transaction with an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent in the ordinary course of business not involving more than
$100,000 in any one case or (5) Management Advances and payments in respect thereof (or in reimbursement of any expenses referred to in the definition of such term), 

(iii) any transaction between or among any of the Company, one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, and/or one or more Special

 (v) any transaction in the ordinary course of business on terms that are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or senior management

recapitalization or similar transactions, which payments are made pursuant to the Management Agreements or are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors in good faith, and (z) of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with such services or activities, 

  
 94 

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

(ix) any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or Junior Capital or any capital
contribution to the Company; 
 (x) any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to or of the

(xi) any investment by any Investor in securities of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as
(i) such securities are being offered generally to other investors on the same or more favorable terms and (ii) such investment by all Investors constitutes less than 5% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such
class of securities. 
 Section 413. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of any other Person), whether owned on the date of this Indenture or thereafter
acquired, securing any Indebtedness (the “Initial Lien”), unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under this Indenture and the Notes or, in respect of any Initial Lien on any
Restricted Subsidiary’s property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations) such
obligation for so long as such obligation is so secured by such Initial Lien. Any such Lien thereby created in favor of the Notes or any such Subsidiary Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon
(i) the release and discharge of the Initial Lien to which it relates, (ii) in the case of any such Lien in favor of any such Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the termination and discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance
with the terms of Section 1303 or (iii) any sale, exchange or transfer (other than a transfer constituting a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company that is governed by Section 501) to
any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien, or of all of the Capital Stock held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in, or all or substantially all the assets of, any Restricted
Subsidiary creating such Initial Lien. 

  
 95 

 Section 414. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. From and after the Issue Date, the
Company will cause each Person that becomes a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), and each other Domestic Subsidiary that is a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility or that guarantees payment of Indebtedness of the
Company under any Credit Facility or Capital Markets Securities, to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 30 days a supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes,
whereupon such Domestic Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes under this Indenture; provided, that any such guarantee described above by a Person in effect at the time such Person is acquired by or merged or
consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and not created with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation) shall not trigger an obligation to guarantee the Notes so long as the aggregate principal
amount of guaranteed Indebtedness relying on this proviso, together with the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Section 407(a), shall not exceed
$300.0 million at any time outstanding. In addition, the Company may cause any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor so to guarantee payment of the Notes and become a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

Section 415. Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence after the Issue Date of a Change of
Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 307); provided, however, that the Company shall not
be obligated to repurchase Notes pursuant to this Section 415 in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as provided in Article X. 

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

  
 96 

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

Section 416. Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Rating. 

(a) If on any day following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and
(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day (the “Suspension Date”) subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the covenants listed under Sections
407, 409, 410, 411, 412, 414, and 501(a)(iii) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will be suspended. During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Board
of Directors may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries unless such designation would have complied with Section 409 as if Section 409 would have been in effect during such period.

 (b) If on any subsequent date one or both of the Rating Agencies downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an
Investment Grade Rating, the foregoing covenants will be reinstated as of and from the date of such rating decline (any such date, a “Reversion Date”). The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is
referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Upon such reinstatement, all Indebtedness Incurred during the 

  
 97 

 
Suspension Period will be deemed to have been Incurred under the exception provided by Section 407(b)(iii). With respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the
amount of Restricted Payments will be calculated as if Section 409 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. For purposes of Section 411, upon the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the amount of Excess
Proceeds not applied in accordance with such covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero. 
 (c) During the Suspension Period,
any reference in the definitions of “Permitted Liens” and “Unrestricted Subsidiary” to Section 407 or any provision thereof shall be construed as if such covenant were in effect during the Suspension Period.

 Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have
occurred as a result of any actions taken by the Company or any Subsidiary (including for the avoidance of doubt any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants) during any Suspension Period and the Company and any Subsidiary will be permitted,
without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 (d) The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate notifying it of the occurrence of any Suspension Date or any Reversion Date. 
 ARTICLE V  

SUCCESSORS 
 Section 501. When the Company May Merge, Etc. (a) The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any
Person, unless: 
 (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) will expressly assume all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this
Indenture by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture or one or more other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as
having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default will have occurred and be continuing; 

  
 98 

 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (A) the
Company (or, if applicable, the Successor Company with respect thereto) could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 407(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company (or, if
applicable, the Successor Company with respect thereto) would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; 

(iv) each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than (x) any Subsidiary Guarantor that will be released from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with such transaction and (y) any party to any such consolidation or merger) shall have delivered a supplemental indenture or other document or instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
confirming its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than any Subsidiary Guarantee that will be discharged or terminated in connection with such transaction); and 
 (v) the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with the provisions
described in this paragraph, provided that (x) in giving such opinion such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) and as to any matters of fact, and
(y) no Opinion of Counsel will be required for a consolidation, merger or transfer described in Section 501(b). 
 Any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or that is deemed to be Incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) as a
result of any such transaction undertaken in compliance with this Section 501, and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto, shall be deemed to have been Incurred in compliance with Section 407. 

(b) Clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 501(a) will not apply to any transaction in which the Company consolidates or
merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to (x) an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction or changing its
legal structure to a corporation or other entity or (y) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company so long as all assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such
Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation thereof. Section 501(a) will not apply to (1) any transaction in which any Restricted
Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or (2) the Transactions. 
 Section 502. Successor Company Substituted. Upon any transaction involving the Company in accordance with Section 501 in which the Company is not the Successor Company, the
Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, and thereafter the predecessor Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture,
except that the predecessor Company in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets shall not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes. 

  
 99 

 ARTICLE VI

Default” means the occurrence of the following: 
 (i) a default in any payment of interest on any Note when due,

Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 
 (iii) the
failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 501(a); 
 (iv) the failure by the Company to

Section 601 with its other agreements contained in the Notes or this Indenture; 
 (vi) the failure by any

(vii) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness owed to
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, if the total amount of such Indebtedness so unpaid or
accelerated exceeds $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent; provided, that no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to occur with respect to any such Indebtedness that is paid or otherwise acquired or retired (or for
which such failure to pay or acceleration is waived or rescinded) within 20 Business Days after such failure to pay or such acceleration; 
 (viii) the taking of any of the following actions by the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) the commencement of a voluntary case; 

  
 100

 (B) the consent to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case; 
 (C) the consent to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its
property; or 
 (D) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

(ix) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

 (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; 

(x) the rendering of any judgment or decree for the payment of money in an amount (net of any insurance or indemnity payments actually
received in respect thereof prior to or within 90 days from the entry thereof, or to be received in respect thereof in the event any appeal thereof shall be unsuccessful) in excess of $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent against
the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, that is not discharged, or bonded or insured by a third Person, if such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 90 days following such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or
stayed; 
 (xi) more than $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of (1) the Senior Subordinated Notes remains

Notes remains outstanding on the date that is 45 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of such Indebtedness; or 
 (xii) the
failure of any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof or of this Indenture) or the denial or disaffirmation in writing by any
Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of its obligations under this Indenture or its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or such Subsidiary Guarantee or the release of such Subsidiary
Guarantee in accordance with such Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture), if such Default continues for 10 days. 

  
 101

 The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal, state or foreign law for the
relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 However, a Default under clause (iv), (v) or (vi) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
notify the Company in writing of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in such clause after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such
notice is a “Notice of Default.” When a Default or an Event of Default is cured, it ceases. 
 The Company
shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (vii) or (x) and any event that with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iv), (v) or (vi), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 602. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 601(viii) or
Section 601(ix), with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, in either case specifying in such notice the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon
the effectiveness of such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 601(viii) or Section 601(ix), with respect to the Company, occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Outstanding Notes will
ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee may
rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except non-payment of principal or interest that has become due solely
because of such acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Section 603. Other Remedies; Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may,
but is not obligated under this Section 603 to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. If an Event of
Default 

  
 102

 
specified in Section 601(i) or 601(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the
whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 707. 
 Section 604. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 707. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 605. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of
action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

Section 606. Application of Money Collected. Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article
VI shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First:
to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 707; 
 Second: [Reserved];

 Third: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and
interest, respectively; and 

  
 103

 Fourth: to the Company. 

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

A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder, to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders. 
 Section 608. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the absolute and
unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of and all (subject to Section 307) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 609. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or any Note and such proceeding
has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

  
 104

 Section 610. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 Section 611. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to
the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 612. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 701, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of
any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses
caused by taking or not taking such action. This Section 612 shall be in lieu of TIA § 316(a)(1)(A), and such TIA § 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.

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

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 902 cannot
be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. 

  
 105

 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In case of any such waiver, the
Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This paragraph of this Section 613 shall be in lieu of TIA
§ 316(a)(1)(B) and such TIA § 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. 
 Section 614. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant. This Section 614 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment
Dates expressed in such Note. 
 Section 615. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company agrees (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other similar law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes contemplated herein or in the Notes or that may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE VII 

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

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

  
 106

 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but need not verify
the contents thereof. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 701(a); (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 612. 
 (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 701 and Section 703. 

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

  
 107

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

(5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction; 
 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document; 

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

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

(9) the permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless
so specified herein. 

  
 108

 Section 704. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals
contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its
obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes in connection with the registration of any Notes and any Subsidiary
Guarantees issued hereunder are and will be true and accurate subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Notes or the
proceeds thereof. 
 Section 705. May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any
Note Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Section 708 and Section 713, may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 706. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 

Section 707. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees, 

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

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to
hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee’s part, arising out of or in connection with the administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 

  
 109

 The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The provisions of this Section 707 shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the resignation and removal of the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Notes for payment of all amounts due the Trustee under this Section 707 on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money
or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on any Notes. 
 Section 708. Conflicting Interests. If
the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the Trustee shall eliminate such interest, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee with such conflict or resign, to the extent and in the manner
provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by the TIA, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Original
Notes and Additional Notes, or a trustee under any other indenture between the Company and the Trustee. 
 Section 709.
Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the TIA to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50.0 million. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 709 and to the extent permitted
by the TIA, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 709, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 Section 710. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 711. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 711 shall not have been delivered
to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the
Trustee and to the Company. 

  
 110

 If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 708 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible under Section 709 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case,
(A) the Company may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 614, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 711. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 711, become the successor Trustee
and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 711, then, subject
to Section 614, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a
successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 110. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 707
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 711. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee 

  
 111

 
shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on
the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts referred to above. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VII. 
 Section 712. Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article VII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office,
any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

 Section 713. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a
creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the TIA regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor) or realizing on certain property received by
it in respect of such claims. 
 Section 714. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Unless
limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by the Trustee includes
authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

  
 112

 ARTICLE VIII 
 HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY  
 TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY

 Section 801. The Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company will furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Trustee 
 (1) semi annually, not more than 10 days after each Regular Record Date, a list,
in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such Regular Record Date, and 
 (2) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15
days prior to the time such list is furnished; 
 provided, however, that if and to the extent and so
long as the Trustee shall be the Note Registrar, no such list need be furnished pursuant to this Section 801.  
 Section 802. Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders. The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained
in the most recent list, if any, furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 801 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar; provided, however, that if and so long
as the Trustee shall be the Note Registrar, the Note Register shall satisfy the requirements relating to such list. None of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee or any other Person shall be under any responsibility with regard to the
accuracy of such list. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 801 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 
 The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as
provided by the TIA. 
 Every Holder of Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that
neither the Company, nor the Trustee, nor any agent of any of them, shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the TIA. 

Section 803. Reports by Trustee. Within 60 days after each April 1, beginning with April 1, 2013, the Trustee shall
transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the TIA at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto for so long as any Notes remain outstanding. A copy of each
such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee or any applicable listing agent with each stock exchange upon which any Notes are listed, with the SEC and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee
when any Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

  
 113

 ARTICLE IX  
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT OR WAIVER 
 Section 901. Without Consent of
Holders. Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes, the Company, the Trustee and (as applicable) any Subsidiary Guarantor may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes, for any of the following purposes: 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency, 

(2) to provide for the assumption by a successor of the obligations of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Indenture, 
 (3) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes,

 (4) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes, to secure the Notes, to evidence a successor Trustee, to
confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Guarantee or Lien with respect to or securing the Notes when such release, termination or discharge is provided for under this Indenture, 

(5) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred
upon the Company, 
 (6) to provide for or confirm the issuance of Initial Notes or Additional Notes, 

(7) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee to any applicable provision of the Senior
Second Priority Notes or the Senior Second Priority Indenture, as the same may be amended or supplemented pursuant to Section 901(7) of the Senior Second Priority Indenture, 

(8) to increase the minimum denomination of the Notes to equal the dollar equivalent of €1,000 rounded up to the
nearest $1,000 (including for purposes of redemption or repurchase of any Note in part), 
 (9) to make any
change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder under the Notes or this Indenture, or 

(10) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or
otherwise. 
 Section 902. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Section 608, the Company, the Trustee and
(if applicable) any Subsidiary Guarantor may amend or supplement this 

  
 114

 
Indenture or the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) and the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for Notes) may waive any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee. 

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

(iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the date on which any Note may be redeemed as
described in Section 1001; 
 (v) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note;

 (vi) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s
Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or 
 (vii) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions described in this paragraph. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 902 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 902
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any supplemental indenture or the effectiveness of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Section 903. Execution of Amendments, Supplements or Waivers. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment,
supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive, 

  
 115

 
and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and that, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereinafter in effect affecting creditors’
rights or remedies generally and to general principles of equity (including standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness), whether considered in a proceeding at law or at equity, such amendment, supplement or waiver is a
valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. 
 Section 904.
Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or any Note that evidences all or any
part of the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Subject to the following paragraph of this Section 904, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as
to such Holder’s Note by written notice to the Trustee or the Company, received by the Trustee or the Company, as the case may be, before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Company certifying that the
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver as set forth in Section 108. 
 After an
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Notes, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (i) through (vii) of the second paragraph of Section 902. In that case, the amendment,
supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of such Note or any Note that evidences all or any part of the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note. 

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

 (b) In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to April 12, 2015, the Company at its
option may redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes and, for the avoidance of doubt, all increases in the
principal amount of the Notes as a result of all PIK Payments), with funds in an equal aggregate amount (the “Redemption Amount”) not exceeding the aggregate proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price (expressed

each such redemption of Notes. 
 The Company may make such redemption upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each
Holder’s registered address in accordance with Section 1005 (but in no event more than 180 days after the completion of the related Equity Offering). The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and
performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the
Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the completion of the related Equity Offering. 

  
 117

 (c) At any time prior to April 12, 2015, Notes may also be redeemed in whole or in
part, at the Company’s option, at a price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued
and unpaid PIK Interest), if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to Section 307). Such redemption may be made upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with Section 1005.
The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption or notice may, at the
Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control. 
 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note and (ii) the excess of
(A) the present value at such Redemption Date of (1) the redemption price of such Note on April 12, 2015 (such redemption price being that described in Section 1001(a)), plus (2) all required
remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Note through such date (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the
principal amount of such Note on such Redemption Date. Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Company or on behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided that such calculation shall not be a
duty or obligation of the Trustee. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to a Redemption Date, the yield to
maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two Business
Days prior to such Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to April 12, 2015; provided,
however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to such date is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to such date is less than one
year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the “principal amount” of the Notes in this Article, including for purposes of calculating any redemption price or redemption amount, shall include
increases in the principal amount of the Notes as a result of any PIK Payments. 

  
 118

 Section 1002. Applicability of Article. Redemption or purchase of Notes as
permitted or required by Section 1001 shall be made in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 1003.
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Notes, the Company shall, at least two Business Days (but not more than 60 days, other than in the case of defeasance or
satisfaction and discharge) prior to the date on which notice is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 1005, notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed. 
 Section 1004. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption,
selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and
appropriate, although no Note with an original principal amount equal to or less than the Minimum Denomination will be redeemed in part. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. On
and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note
that has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 1005. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption or purchase as
provided in Section 1001 shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor (other than in the case of defeasance or satisfaction and discharge) more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each
Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register. 
 Any such notice shall state:

 (1) the expected Redemption Date, 

(2) the redemption price (or the formula by which the redemption price will be determined), 

(3) if less than all Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
portion of the respective principal amounts) of the Notes to be redeemed, 

  
 119

 (4) that, on the Redemption Date, the redemption price will become due and
payable upon each such Note, and that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and
after said date, and 
 (5) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

 In addition, if such redemption, purchase or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, as permitted by
Section 1001, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or
such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. 

The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and the performance of the Company’s obligations with
respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. 
 Notice of such redemption or purchase of Notes to be so
redeemed or purchased at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request (made to the Trustee at least 40 days (or such shorter period as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the
Redemption Date), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. Any such request will set forth the information to be stated in such notice, as provided by this Section 1005. 

The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives
such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other
Note. 
 Section 1006. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 403) an amount of money sufficient to pay
the redemption price of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 1007. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in this Article X, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become
due and payable at the redemption price herein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price or the Paying 

  
 120

 
Agent is prohibited from paying the redemption price pursuant to the terms of this Indenture) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Notes for redemption in accordance
with such notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price. Installments of interest whose Interest Payment Date is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such on the
relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 On and after any
Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and any accrued and unpaid interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with Section 1006, the Notes (or the portions thereof)
called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes (or portions thereof) will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, any accrued
and unpaid interest on such Notes (or portions thereof) to the Redemption Date. If any Note (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Note (or portion thereof). 
 Section 1008. Mandatory
Redemption (AHYDO). If any Note would otherwise constitute an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of the first tax accrual period ending after the fifth
anniversary of April 12, 2012, the Company shall redeem for cash a portion of each Note then outstanding equal to the “Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount” (as defined below) (such redemption, the “Mandatory Principal
Redemption”). The redemption price for the portion of each Note redeemed pursuant to the Mandatory Principal Redemption shall be 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest thereon on the date of redemption. The
“Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount” means the portion of each Note required to be redeemed so that none of the outstanding Notes is treated as an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of
Section 163(i)(1) of the Code; provided that if there is uncertainty (as determined by the Company in good faith) regarding the determination of the portion so required to be redeemed, the Company shall be entitled to set such
portion at an amount not less than the amount it determines to be so required, and each such determination by the Company shall be conclusive and binding, and such portion shall constitute the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount, for all purposes
under this Indenture (regardless of any subsequent determination that such portion may have exceeded the amount so required to be redeemed). For the avoidance of doubt, the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount shall represent the same percentage of
the principal amount of each outstanding Note. 
 Section 1009. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note that is to be
redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing) and
the Company shall execute and (upon receipt of an Authentication Order) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered. 

  
 121

 ARTICLE XI  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 1101. Satisfaction and
Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of
and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 
 (i) either 
 (a) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 403) have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(b) all such Notes not theretofore cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

(1) have become due and payable, or 

(2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

(3) have been or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 

(ii) the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations
or a combination thereof, sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Notes not previously cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest in cash
(including for the avoidance of doubt accrued and unpaid PIK Interest) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be (provided that if
such redemption shall be pursuant to Section 1001(c), (x) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that the Company 

  
 122

 
must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited shall be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and assuming the payment of all interest in the
form of cash interest, as calculated by the Company, and (y) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date, as required by Section 1006, as necessary to pay the
Applicable Premium as determined on such date); 
 (iii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
then payable hereunder by the Company; and 
 (iv) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate of the Company and an Opinion of Counsel each to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 1101 relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, provided
that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)). 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, (a) the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 707 and, if money shall have been deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 1101(ii), the obligations of the Trustee under Section 1102 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge, and (b) if such satisfaction and discharge is effected through redemption
in accordance with Section 1101(i)(b)(3), the provisions of Section 1007 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge, and the other provisions of Article X shall survive such satisfaction and discharge until the
Redemption Date shall have occurred. 
 Section 1102. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 403, all money and/or U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1101 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes; but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 ARTICLE XII  

DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 1201. The Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option, at any time, elect to have terminated the obligations of the Company with
respect to Outstanding Notes and to have terminated all of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantees, in each case, as set forth in this Article XII, and elect to have either
Section 1202 or Section 1203 be applied to all of the Outstanding Notes (the “Defeased Notes”), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in Section 1204. Either Section 1202
or Section 1203 may be applied to the Defeased Notes to any Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes. 

  
 123

 Section 1202. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 1201 of the option applicable to this Section 1202, the Company shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Notes on the date the relevant conditions set
forth in Section 1204 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
Defeased Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1205 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and the Company and each of
the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Defeased Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1204 and as
more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Defeased Notes under
Sections 304, 305, 306, 402, and 403, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, including the Trustee’s rights under Section 707, and the
Company’s obligations under Section 707, and (d) this Article XII. If the Company exercises its option under this Section 1202, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default with respect thereto. Subject to compliance with this Article XII, the Company may, at its option and at any time, exercise its option under this Section 1202 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
Section 1203 with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 1203. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 1201 of the option applicable to this Section 1203, (a) the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant or provision contained in Section 405 and
Sections 407 through 415, and the provisions of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 501(a) shall not apply, and (b) the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iv), (v) (with respect
to Section 405 and Sections 407 through 415, inclusive), (vi), (vii), (viii) (with respect to Subsidiaries), (ix) (with respect to Subsidiaries), (x) or (xi) of Section 601 shall be deemed
not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Defeased Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be
deemed not to be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants or provisions, but shall continue to be deemed
“Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition
or limitation set forth in any such covenant or provision, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or provision or by reason of any reference in any such covenant or provision to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 601, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Outstanding Notes
shall be unaffected thereby. 

  
 124

 Section 1204. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following
shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1202 or Section 1203 to the Outstanding Notes: 
 (1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust, money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient
(without reinvestment), to pay and discharge the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued and unpaid PIK Interest) on the Defeased Notes to the Stated Maturity or relevant Redemption Date, as
the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes (provided that if such redemption shall be pursuant to Section 1001(c), (x) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations or a
combination thereof that the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited shall be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and assuming the payment of all interest in the form of cash
interest, as calculated by the Company, and (y) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date, as required by Section 1006, as necessary to pay the Applicable
Premium as determined on such date); 
 (2) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
on the date of such deposit; 
 (3) Such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
Default or Event of Default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; 
 (4) In the case of an election under Section 1202, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from Debevoise & Plimpton LLP or other counsel in the United
States to the effect that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm to the effect that, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance and will
be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Defeasance had not occurred; provided that such Opinion of Counsel need not be delivered if all Notes
theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 403) not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
have become due and payable, will become due 

  
 125

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

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

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

Anything in this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company from time to time, upon
Company Request, any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1204 that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm expressed in a written certification thereof to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Subject to Article VII, the Trustee shall not incur any liability to any Person by relying on
such opinion. 

  
 126

 Section 1206. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 1202 or 1203, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1202 or
1203, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 1202 or 1203, as the case may be; provided,
however, that if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 Section 1207. Repayment to the Company. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee shall pay to the Company upon Company Request any money held by it for the payment of
principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless
an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease. 
 ARTICLE XIII  
 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 

Section 1301. Guarantees Generally. 
 (a) Guarantee of Each Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally
Guarantees, on a senior basis, the punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of or interest on the Notes,
expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantors being herein called the “Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations”). 

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including but not limited to any Guarantee by it of any Credit Facility Indebtedness) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary
Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors. 

  
 127

 (b) Further Agreements of Each Subsidiary Guarantor. (i) Each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other
Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a notation concerning its Subsidiary Guarantee is made on any particular Note, or any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 (ii) Each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against
the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that (except as otherwise provided in Section 1303) its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the
Notes, this Indenture and this Subsidiary Guarantee. Such Subsidiary Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand,
and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, subject to this Article XIII, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed by its Subsidiary Guarantee may be accelerated as and to the extent provided in
Article VI for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantee, and (2) in the
event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this
Section 1301 for the purpose of such Subsidiary Guarantee. Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Subsidiary
Guaranteed Obligations or against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations under
their respective Subsidiary Guarantees or under this Indenture. 
 (iii) Until terminated in accordance with
Section 1303, each Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on such Notes, whether as a “voidable
preference,” “fraudulent transfer” 

  
 128

 
or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall have the right to seek contribution from the Company or any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor that has
also Guaranteed the relevant Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations in respect of which such payment or distribution is made, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees. 

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

Section 1303. Release of Subsidiary Guarantees. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1302, Subsidiary
Guarantees will be subject to termination and discharge under the circumstances described in this Section 1303. Any Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect, (i) concurrently with any direct or indirect sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any Subsidiary Guarantor
or any interest therein in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (including Section 411 and Section 501) by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, following 

  
 129

 
which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) at any time that such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from all of its obligations under all
of its Guarantees of payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities and Capital Markets Securities and is not a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility (it being understood that a release
subject to contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Subsidiary Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Subsidiary
Guarantee pursuant to Section 414), (iii) upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or
upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, (iv) concurrently with any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary,
(v) during the Suspension Period, upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into another Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor with such other Subsidiary being the surviving Person in such merger or
consolidation, or upon liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (vi) upon Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Company’s
obligations, or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or (vii) subject to Section 1302(b), upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then Outstanding and all other Subsidiary Guaranteed
Obligations then due and owing. In addition, the Company will have the right, upon 30 days’ notice to the Trustee, to cause any Subsidiary Guarantor that has not guaranteed payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities or Capital Markets Securities and is not a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility to be unconditionally released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall
thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect. 
 Upon any such occurrence specified in this Section 1303,
the Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense, execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee. 

Section 1304. [Reserved]. 
 Section 1305. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, including any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or
common law, until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and
applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 

  
 130

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

 HD Supply, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (and
its successors and assigns) (the “Company”), promises to pay to
                                        ,
or registered assigns, the principal sum of $                     ([            ]
United States Dollars) (or such lesser or greater amount as shall be outstanding hereunder from time to time in accordance with Sections 301, 312 and 313, as applicable, of the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof) (the
“Principal Amount”) on October 12, 2020. 
 Interest on this Note shall be payable semi-annually in
arrears on April 12 and October 12 of each year, commencing October 12, 2012 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of 14.875% per annum, until the Principal Amount is paid or made available for payment.
[Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest on this Note or any of its Predecessor Notes has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date.]3 [Interest on this Note will accrue (or will be deemed to have
accrued) from the most recent date to which interest on this Note or any of its Predecessor Notes has been paid or duly provided for or, if no such interest has been paid, from [April 12,
2012]4.]5 

For any semi-annual period ending on or prior to October 12, 2017, interest on the Outstanding principal amount of this Note shall
be payable entirely by increasing the principal amount of this Note (“PIK Interest”). 
 PIK Interest shall be
payable on the related Interest Payment Date by increasing the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable semi-annual interest period (a “PIK Payment”), as
hereinafter provided. On the Interest Payment Date for such PIK Payment, the principal amount of each Note shall be increased by the amount of the PIK Interest payable, rounded up to the nearest $1.00, for the relevant semi-annual interest period on
the principal amount of such Note as of the relevant 
  

	1 	Insert any applicable legends as provided in Article II of the Indenture. 

	2 	Include only if a CUSIP has been obtained. 

	3 	Include only for Original Notes. 

	4 	Insert the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of issuance of the applicable Additional Notes, or if the date of issuance of such Additional Notes is
an Interest Payment Date, such date of issuance. 

	5 	Include only for Additional Notes. 

 
Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, to the credit of the Holders on such Regular Record Date, pro rata in accordance with their interest, automatically without any further
action by any Person. In the case of the Global Notes, such increase in principal amount shall be recorded in the Note Registrar’s books and records and in the schedule to the Global Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Alternatively, the
Company may elect, at its option, to issue a new Note or new Notes having a principal amount equal to the amount of the PIK Payment. 
 For any semi-annual interest period starting on or after October 12, 2017, interest on the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall be payable entirely in cash. 

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months. The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest, which shall be the April 1 and October 1 (whether or not a Business Day) (a “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business
on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not more than 15 days nor less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time
in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 12, 2012, among
the Company and the initial investors named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).6 Transfer of the Notes by the Holder thereof will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Noteholders Agreement, dated April 12, 2012, among the initial investors of the Notes named
therein.

Office of the Trustee, or such other office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of cash interest may be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account designated to the Company by the Person entitled thereto or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register. 

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

 This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of 14.875% Senior Notes due 2020 of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2012
(herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meanings assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, as issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time parties thereto and [insert name of institution
appointed as Trustee], as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, any other obligor upon this Note, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of the Notes
include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, as in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall
control. Additional Notes may be issued under the Indenture which will vote as a class with the Notes and otherwise be treated as Notes for purposes of the Indenture. 
 All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 This Note may hereafter be entitled to certain other senior Subsidiary Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is made to Article XIII of the Indenture for terms relating to such
Subsidiary Guarantees, including the release, termination and discharge thereof. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to make any notation on this Note to reflect any Subsidiary Guarantee or any such release,
termination or discharge. 
 The Notes will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time on and after April 12, 2015 and prior to maturity at the applicable redemption price set forth below. Such redemption may be made upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address in accordance
with the Indenture. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and the performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption and notice
may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control. The Notes will be so redeemable at the following redemption prices
(expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued and unpaid PIK Interest), if any, to the relevant Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on
the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 12 of the years set forth below:

 In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to April 12, 2015, the Company at
its option may redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes and, for the avoidance of doubt, all increases in the
principal amount of the Notes as a result of all PIK Payments), with funds in an equal aggregate amount not exceeding the aggregate proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount
thereof) of 114.875%, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued and unpaid PIK Interest), if any, to the 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); provided, however, that an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional
Notes) must remain outstanding immediately after each such redemption of Notes. The Company may make such redemption upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with the Indenture (but in no event
more than 180 days after the completion of the related Equity Offering). The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed
by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent,
including but not limited to the completion of the related Equity Offering. 
 At any time prior to April 12, 2015, Notes
may also be redeemed in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
accrued and unpaid PIK Interest), if any, to the 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). Such redemption may be made upon notice mailed by
first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with the Indenture. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption
may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control.

  
 A-6

 If any Note would otherwise constitute an “applicable high yield discount
obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of the first tax accrual period ending after the fifth anniversary of April 12, 2012, the Company shall redeem for cash a portion of each Note then
outstanding equal to the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount (as defined below) (such redemption, the “Mandatory Principal Redemption”). The redemption price for the portion of each Note redeemed pursuant to the Mandatory
Principal Redemption shall be 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest thereon on the date of redemption. The “Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount” means the portion of each Note required to be
redeemed so that none of the outstanding Notes is treated as an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code; provided if there is uncertainty (as determined by the Company in
good faith) regarding the determination of the portion so required to be redeemed, the Company shall be entitled to set such portion at an amount not less than the amount it determines to be so required, and each such determination by the Company
shall be conclusive and binding, and such portion shall constitute the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount, for all purposes under the Indenture and this Note (regardless of any subsequent determination that such portion may have exceeded the
amount so required to be redeemed). For the avoidance of doubt, the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount shall represent the same percentage of the principal amount of each outstanding Note. 

The Indenture provides (as and to the extent set forth therein) that, upon the occurrence after the Issue Date of a Change of Control,
each Holder will have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date
of such repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase
Notes in the event it has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes as provided in the Indenture. 
 The Notes will not be
entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
Indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on the
Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 In addition, in the event
that the Notes achieve an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, certain covenants set forth in the Indenture will be suspended for so long as neither Rating Agency downgrades the rating assigned
to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the 

  
 A-7

 
Holders of the Notes to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note
and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Notes, the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee security
or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request,
and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations and other provisions therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of
the Company in a Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon

 4. The proposed transfer of Notes is not part of a plan or
scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 5. If we are a dealer or a person
receiving a selling concession or other fee or remuneration in respect of the Notes, and the proposed transfer takes place before end of the distribution compliance period under Regulation S, or we are an officer or director of the Company or a
distributor, we certify that the proposed transfer is being made in accordance with the provisions of Rules 903 and 904 of Regulation S. 

 6. If the proposed transfer takes place before the end of the distribution
compliance period under Regulation S, the beneficial interest in the Notes so transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear (as defined in such Indenture) or Clearstream (as defined in such Indenture). 

7. We have advised the transferee of the transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes.

otherwise transfer the Notes except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, and that the Notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except as
permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should offer, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Notes within one
year after the original issuance of the Notes, we will do so only (A) to the Company or a Subsidiary, (B) inside the United States to a “qualified institutional buyer” in compliance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, (C) inside the United States to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to you a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter,
(D) outside the United States to a foreign person in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (E) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if
available), or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any person purchasing any of the Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are
restricted as stated herein and in the Indenture. 
 3. We understand that, on any proposed transfer of any Notes prior to the
later of the original issue date of the Notes and the last date the Notes were held by an affiliate of the Company pursuant to paragraphs 2(C), 2(D) and 2(E) above, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company such certifications, legal
opinions and other information as you and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing
effect. 

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

 5. We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an
institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.

and which has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain restrictions on transfer or provisions for the additional
interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below or the liquidated damages provided in Section 2(d) below (such new debt securities hereinafter called “Exchange Securities”). The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their
respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 270 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the
appropriate form and will comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. The Company further agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange
Registration Statement becomes effective, hold the Exchange Offer open for the period required by applicable law (including 

  
 5 

 
pursuant to any applicable interpretation by the staff of the Commission), but in any event for at least 10 business days, and exchange the Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that
have been validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer. If the Company commences the Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Exchange Offer 30 business days after the commencement thereof
(or at the end of such shorter period permitted by applicable law), provided that the Company has accepted all the Registrable Securities validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. The Company and the Guarantors agree
(x) to include in the Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the
“Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 90th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers
no longer own any Registrable Securities. 
 Each holder participating in the Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to
the Company that (i) any Exchange Securities received by such holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer such holder has no arrangements or understanding with any
person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company, or
if it is such an “affiliate,” it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does
not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities, (v) if such holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Securities acquired directly from the Company or any of its affiliates) and that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities and (vi) such holder is
not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations. 
 (b) If (i) on or prior
to the time the Exchange Offer is consummated existing Commission interpretations are changed such that the Exchange Securities or the related Guarantees received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable
Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 360 days following the Closing Date, (iii) any Initial
Purchaser so requests with respect to Registrable Securities not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the Exchange Offer or (iv) any holder (other than an Initial
Purchaser) shall be, and shall notify the Company that such holder is, prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer or such holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired in the Exchange Offer to the public
without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement is not available for such 

  
 6 

 
resales by such holder (other than in either case (x) due solely to the status of such holder as an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or (y) due to such
holder’s inability to make the representations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 2(a) hereof) and any such holder so requests, the Company and the Guarantors shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clauses (iii) and
(iv), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a), use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to file under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable, a “shelf” registration
statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities (or in the case of clause (iii), the Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers), pursuant to
Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the “Shelf Registration” and such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company and the Guarantors agree to
use their respective commercially reasonable efforts (x) to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days after the date on which the obligation to file such Shelf Registration Statement arises and to use their
respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective for a period ending on the earlier of the first anniversary of the Effective Time or such shorter period that will terminate when all the
Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or are distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 or would be eligible to be sold by a person that is not an
“affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company pursuant to Rule 144 without volume restriction; provided, however, that no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration
Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder, and (y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of any
holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder to take any action reasonably necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and include any disclosure necessary or advisable in
order to comply with the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this clause (y) shall relieve any such holder of the obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and
Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii) hereof and (ii) the Company shall not be required to take any such action with respect to any such holders more than once every quarter. The Company further agrees to
supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act
or rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration, and the Company agrees to furnish to each Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly following its filing with the Commission. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend the availability of any Shelf Registration Statement (x) for up to an
aggregate of 60 days in any consecutive twelve-month period if (i) such action is required by applicable law or (ii) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not

  
 7 

 
including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder) as determined by the board of directors of the Company or an authorized committee thereof, including the acquisition or
divestiture of assets, or (y) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed due to a failure to consummate the Exchange Offer within the required time period, if such action occurs following the consummation of the
Exchange Offer; provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Electing Holders when the Shelf Registration Statement may once again be used or is effective. 
 (c) The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that the holders of Registrable Securities will suffer damages if the Company and the Guarantors fail to fulfill their obligations under this
Section 2 and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. In the event that (i) Exchange Offer has not been consummated within 360 days after the Closing Date, or (ii) if a Shelf
Registration Statement required to be filed under Section 2(b) hereof is not declared effective on or before 90 days after the date on which the obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement arises, or (iii) if any Shelf
Registration Statement required by Section 2(b) hereof is filed and declared effective, and during the period the Company and the Guarantors are required to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf
Registration Statement to remain effective, (x) the Company shall have suspended the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof for more than 60 days in the aggregate in any consecutive twelve-month period and be
continuing to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement or (y) the Shelf Registration Statement shall cease to be effective (other than by action of the Company pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 2(b)
hereof) without being replaced within 90 days by a shelf registration statement that is filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Registration Default” and each period during
which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, a “Registration Default Period”), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, special interest (“Special Interest”), in addition to the
Base Interest, shall accrue on Registrable Securities for the Registration Default Period (but only with respect to one Registration Default at any particular time) until such time as all Registration Defaults have been cured at a per annum rate of
0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, which rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum of 0.50% regardless of the number of Registration Defaults that shall have
occurred and be continuing. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Special Interest will cease. A Registration Default under clause (ii) or (iii) will be deemed cured upon consummation of the Exchange
Offer in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed due to a failure to consummate the Exchange Offer within the required time period. 
 (d) If during the 90 day period referenced in the final sentence of the first paragraph of Section 2(a) hereof the Exchange Registration Statement is suspended by the Company or ceases to be
effective such that any broker-dealer that (i) receives Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer and (ii) is subject to prospectus delivery requirements cannot fulfill such requirements, the Company shall pay liquidated damages to such
broker-dealers in an amount calculated in a manner consistent with that specified above with respect to Registration Defaults. 

  
 8 

 (e) The Company and the Guarantors shall take all actions reasonably necessary or advisable
to be taken by it to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated, including all actions necessary or desirable to register the Guarantees under the registration statement contemplated in Section 2(a) or 2(b)
hereof, as applicable. 
 (f) Any reference herein to a registration statement or prospectus as of any time shall be deemed to
include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement or to any prospectus supplement as of any time shall be deemed
to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time. 
 3. Registration
Procedures. 
 If the Company and the Guarantors file a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or
Section 2(b), the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) At or before the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration or
the Shelf Registration, whichever may occur first, the Company shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (b)
In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 

(c) In connection with the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the registration of Exchange Securities
as contemplated by Section 2(a) (the “Exchange Registration”), if applicable, the Company and the Guarantors shall: 
 (i) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission an Exchange Registration Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Company and the Guarantors and
which shall permit the Exchange Offer and resales of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers during the Resale Period to be effected as contemplated by Section 2(a), and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange
Registration Statement to become effective within 270 days after the Closing Date; 
 (ii) prepare and file with
the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration Statement for the periods and

and promptly provide each broker-dealer holding Exchange Securities with such number of copies of the prospectus included therein (as then amended or supplemented), in conformity in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and the Trust Indenture Act, as such broker-dealer reasonably may request prior to the expiration of the Resale Period, for use in connection with resales of Exchange Securities; 

(iii) promptly notify each broker-dealer that has requested or received copies of the prospectus included in such
registration statement, and confirm such advice in writing, (A) when such Exchange Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect
to such Exchange Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of any comments by the Commission or by the blue sky or securities commissioner or regulator of any state with respect to such
Exchange Registration Statement or prospectus or any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Exchange Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose or (E) at any time during the Resale Period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, that such Exchange
Registration Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment does not conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder and the Trust Indenture Act or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing; 
 (iv) in the event that the Company and the Guarantors would be required, pursuant to
Section 3(c)(iii)(E) above, to notify any broker-dealers holding Exchange Securities, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and furnish as soon as practicable to each such broker-dealer a reasonable number of copies of
a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of such Exchange Securities during the Resale Period, such prospectus shall conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing; 

  
 10 

 (v) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the

qualifications in effect and comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of offers, sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions until the expiration of the Resale Period and (C) take any and all other actions as may be reasonably
necessary to enable each broker-dealer holding Exchange Securities to consummate the disposition thereof in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required for any such purpose to (1) qualify
as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the requirements of this Section 3(c)(vi), (2) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) make any

 (d) In connection with the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Shelf Registration, if
applicable, the Company and each Guarantor shall: 
 (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and
file with the Commission, within the time period specified in Section 2(b), a Shelf Registration Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Company and which shall register all of the Registrable Securities (or in the case of a

(ii) not less than 15 calendar days prior to the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, mail the Notice and

part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company by the deadline for response set forth therein; provided, however, holders of Registrable
Securities shall have at least 13 calendar days from the date on which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such holders to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company; 

(iii) after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, upon the request of any holder of Registrable

filing with the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend the availability of any Shelf Registration Statement as provided in the second paragraph of Section 2(b); 

(v) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of
the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Electing Holders provided for in such Shelf Registration Statement; 

  
 12 

 (vi) for a reasonable period prior to the filing of such Shelf Registration

distribution of the Registrable Securities being sold (including any person who may be deemed an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(ii) of the Securities Act) such relevant financial and other pertinent information and books and
records of the Company, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the officers, employees, counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct a

on behalf of all such parties and provided, further, that each such party shall be required (pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to maintain in confidence and not to disclose to any other person any
information or records reasonably designated by the Company as being confidential, until such time as (A) such information becomes a matter of public record (whether by virtue of its inclusion in such registration statement or otherwise except
as a result of a breach of this or any other obligation of confidentiality to the Company known to such party), or (B) such person shall be required so to disclose such information pursuant to a subpoena or order of any court or other
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the matter (subject to the requirements of such order, and only after such person shall have given the Company prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the Company, at its expense,
may undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of such information or records), or (C) in order to establish a due diligence defense, such person shall so disclose such information or (D) such information is required to be set
forth in such Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or in an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to such prospectus, in order that such Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus,

related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in 

  
 14 

 
conformity in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as such Electing Holder and underwriter, if
any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the offering and disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Electing Holder or underwritten by such underwriter and to permit such Electing Holder and underwriter, if any, to satisfy
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such prospectus (including such preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto and any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus,
by each such Electing Holder and by any such underwriter, in each case in the form most recently provided to such person by the Company, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus (including such
preliminary prospectus) or any supplement or amendment thereto; 
 (xi) use their respective commercially

provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required for any such purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the
requirements of this Section 3(d)(xi), (2) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) make any changes to its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational document, or any agreement
between it and any of its equityholders; 
 (xii) unless any Registrable Securities shall be in book-entry only
form, cooperate with the Electing Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive
legends; and, in the case of an underwritten offering, enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter may request a reasonable amount of time prior to any sale of the
Registrable Securities; 
 (xiii) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities, not later than the
applicable Effective Time; 

  
 15 

 (xiv) enter into one or more underwriting agreements in customary form,
including customary provisions relating to indemnification and contribution, and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take such other actions, if any, in connection therewith as any Electing Holders aggregating at least 20% in

(xv) if requested by the Majority Electing Holders or if the offering contemplated by the Shelf Registration is an

 (xix) take all reasonable action to ensure that any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any registration covered by Section 4(d) is filed in accordance with the
Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, prospectus supplement and related documents, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
make the statement therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (e) In the event
that the Company would be required, pursuant to Section 3(d)(vii)(E) above, to notify the Electing Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof, the Company shall as soon as practicable prepare and furnish to each of the Electing
Holders and to each such underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall conform in all material respects to
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. Each broker-dealer and Electing Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)(E) or
Section 3(d)(vii)(E) hereof, such broker-dealer or Electing Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such
Registrable Securities until such broker-dealer or Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Company, such broker-dealer or Electing Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the
Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such broker-dealer’s or Electing Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. 

(f) In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice
and Questionnaire, the Company may require such Electing Holder to furnish to the Company such additional information regarding such Electing Holder and such Electing Holder’s intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities as may be
required in order to comply with the

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto, pursuant to which Exchange Securities or
Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus contained in any such Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (when taken together with the related prospectus or prospectus supplement and related documents) related thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom
of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

  
 19 

 (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that any such settlement is effected with the prior written consent of the Company; and 

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
chosen by any indemnified party), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon
any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors shall not
be liable to any such person to the extent such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such person expressly for use in an Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any related prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related thereto. 
 (b) Each Electing Holder, severally, but not jointly, agrees to
(i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and the other Electing Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors or any other Electing Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 5(a) hereof,
as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in any Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Electing Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or such prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Electing Holder
from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 20 

 (c) Each indemnified party shall give written notice promptly to each indemnifying party of
any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not
materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it
shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation). To the extent that an indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such action, in no event shall such indemnifying party be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 5 (whether or not the indemnified
parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or
claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the holders, on the other hand, from the issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes (which in the case of the Company and the Guarantors
shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Company and the Guarantors from the issuance and sale of the Notes), the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

  
 21 

 The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified
party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 5(d). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this
Section 5(d) shall be deemed to include any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Electing Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which the Electing Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
 No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 For purposes of this Section 5(d), each person, if any, who controls any Electing Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Electing Holder, and each director of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Electing Holders’ obligation in this Section 5(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of
Registrable Securities registered by them and not joint. 
 6. Underwritten Offerings. 

(a) Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to
an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering, subject to
the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Electing Holders shall be responsible for all underwriting discounts and commissions in connection therewith. The Company hereby

  
 22 

 
agrees with each holder of Registrable Securities that, to the extent it consents to an underwritten offering hereunder, it will negotiate in good faith and execute such indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using commercially reasonable efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters. 

(b) Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with each other such holder that no such holder
may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

7. Rule 144. 
 The Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it
under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations
adopted by the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
The Company will be deemed to have satisfied the foregoing requirements if Holding (as defined in the Indenture) files such reports and takes such action of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods.

 8. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors represent, warrant, covenant and agree that they have not granted, and shall not grant, registration rights with respect to
Registrable Securities or any other securities which would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Registration Rights Agreement. 
 (b) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, if delivered

(c) Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to
the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and such holders. In the event that any transferee of any
holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a
beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive
the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Registration Rights Agreement. If the Company shall so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree in
writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms hereof. 
 (d) Survival.
The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Registration Rights Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement
as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such holder, any agent or underwriter or any director, officer or partner thereof, or any controlling person of any of the
foregoing, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transfer and registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an Exchange Offer.

outstanding. Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 8(g), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such
amendment or waiver appears on such Registrable Securities or is delivered to such holder. 
 (h) Counterparts. This
Registration Rights Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
