 ARTICLE 1 

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01 Definitions. 

“144A Global Note” means a Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, bearing the Global Note
Legend and the Private Placement Legend and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on
Rule 144A. 
 “Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person, (i) (a) Indebtedness of any other
Person existing at the time such other Person is merged or consolidated with or into or becomes a Subsidiary of such specified Person or (b) assumed by such specified Person in connection with an acquisition of any Equity Interests or assets of
such other Person, including, without limitation, Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging or consolidating with or into or becoming a Subsidiary of such specified Person, and (ii) Indebtedness
secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 
 “Additional Notes” means additional Notes
(other than the Initial Notes and the Unrestricted Global Notes automatically exchanged for such Initial Notes pursuant to Section 2.06) issued from time to time under this Indenture in accordance with Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 4.09 hereof.

 “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 purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control
with”), as used with respect to any 

 
Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Voting Stock of a Person shall be deemed to be control. 

“Agent” means any Registrar or Paying Agent. 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a note on any redemption date, the excess of (A) the present value at such
time of (i) the redemption price of such note at July 15, 2019 set forth in the table in Section 3.07(c) plus (ii) all remaining interest payments due on such note through and including July 15, 2019 (excluding any interest
accrued to the redemption date), discounted on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) from July 15, 2019 to the redemption date using a discount rate equal to the Applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis
points, over (B) the principal amount of such note; provided that in no event shall the Applicable Premium be less than zero. 

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer, redemption or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any
Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and/or Clearstream that apply to such transfer, redemption or exchange. 

“Applicable Treasury Rate” for any redemption date, means 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 the redemption date of such note or in

publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2019; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2019 is not equal to the
constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Applicable 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 having the next earlier and next later maturities for which such yields are given except that if the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2019 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. The Applicable Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Company. 

“Asset Acquisition” means, with respect to any Person, (1) an Investment by such Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of

prior thereto; (vi) the sale or other disposition of Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities; (vii) the sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or consignment of accounts receivable, equipment, inventory, real property, or other

Indenture; (xii) sales of Securitization Assets and related assets of the type specified in the definition of Securitization Financing to a Securitization Subsidiary in connection with any Qualified Securitization Financing; (xiii) a

such vote, any such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation. 

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled 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. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder
or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part. 

(g) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including DTC 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 DTC that is 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. 

  
 -29- 

 (h) 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 DTC 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.

Note” attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from
time to time be reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby
shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. 

(c) Terms. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes and the Guarantee shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of
this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with

 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 

On the Issue Date, the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order (an “Authentication Order”) shall authenticate and deliver the
Initial Notes. Each Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes and the original principal amount of each Note to be authenticated, the registered Holder, the delivery instructions for each Note, the date on which the Notes are to be
issued and, in the case of Additional Notes, the issue price of such Additional Notes. 
 Additional Notes may be issued from time to time
subject to the terms of this Indenture including Section 4.09. The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and
offers to purchase. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating
agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an
Affiliate of the Company. 
 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term
“Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent or Registrar. 

  
 -31- 

 The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as
Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent and Registrar for the
Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes and the Trustee hereby agrees to so initially act. 
 Section 2.04 Paying Agent to
Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent
shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for
the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any Event of Default under Sections 6.01(a)(vi) or 6.01(a)(vii) relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 
 The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.06, a Global Note may be transferred,
in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note unless (i) the
Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is
not appointed by the Company within 120 days or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes delivered
in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also
may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and 

  
 -32- 

 
delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the
form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above and pursuant to Section 2.06(c) hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those

other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 
 (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.
Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private
Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S.
Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or
instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(i). 

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) hereof, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) both (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect
Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred
or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase or (B) both (1) a written order from a Participant or an
Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and
(2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above; provided that
in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note prior to (A) both the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the

  
 -33- 

 
receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903. Upon the Initial Notes becoming Freely Tradable the Company may transfer or exchange beneficial interests in Restricted
Global Notes for Unrestricted Global Notes; it being understood that upon the authentication of an Unrestricted Global Note by the Trustee, interests in the Restricted Global Notes, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been transferred to
interests in the Unrestricted Global Notes, unless otherwise instructed by the Company. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or
otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof. 

(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global
Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) hereof and the Registrar receives the
following:

Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) hereof and the Registrar receives the following: 

(1) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a
beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the
Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and
canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary

 -42- 

 (iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange. 
 (v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any mailing of a notice of redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (B) to register the transfer of
or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date. 
 (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the
Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none
of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (vii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (viii) At the option of the
Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes

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

(j) Automatic Exchange from Restricted Global Note to Unrestricted Global Note. At the option of the Company and upon compliance with
the following procedures, the 

  
 -43- 

 
beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. In order to effect such exchange, the Company shall provide written
notice to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to (i) direct the Depositary to transfer the specified amount of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note and provide the Depositary
with all such information as is necessary for the Depositary to appropriately credit and debit the relevant Holder accounts and (ii) provide written notice to all Holders of such exchange through the Depositary or its nominee, which notice must
include the date such exchange is proposed to occur, the CUSIP number of the relevant Restricted Global Note and the CUSIP number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such Holders’ beneficial interests will be exchanged. As a condition to
any such exchange pursuant to this Section 2.06(j), the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Company, and rely conclusively without any liability, upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Company, to the
effect that such transfer of beneficial interests to the Unrestricted Global Note shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may request from Holders such information it reasonably determines is required in order to be able
to deliver such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.06(j), the Registrar shall endorse the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note”
attached to the relevant Notes and reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a decrease and increase, respectively, in the principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Note(s) and the Unrestricted Global Note,
respectively, equal to the principal amount of beneficial interests transferred. Following any such transfer pursuant to this Section 2.06(j) of all of the beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note, such Restricted Global Note shall be
cancelled. 
 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or
the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss, expense, claim or liability
that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of the Trustee and its
counsel. 
 Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and 

  
 -44- 

 
those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is
considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent
(other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer
outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned
by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes
that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s
right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. 

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

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

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or
beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of

  
 -45- 

 
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the
Exchange Act). Certification of the disposal of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company upon its request therefor. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing in
the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed
each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special
record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the register maintained by the Registrar that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

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

Section 2.14 Depositary. 
 None of
the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar 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 Note in global form
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company, 

  
 -46- 

 
the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with any Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any such global Note for all purposes of this Indenture
relating to such global Note (including the payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such
global Security) as the sole Holder of such global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability
for any acts or omissions of any such Depositary with respect to such global Note, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such global Note, for any transactions
between such Depositary and any participant in such Depositary or between or among any such Depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such global Note or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any
such global Note.

Trustee. 
 If the Company elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 5

applicable provisions of Section 12.05 setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date and (iii) the principal

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by
lot or for Global Notes according to Applicable Procedures, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements; provided that no partial redemption will reduce the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to be less
than $1,000. 
 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. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; no Notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of
the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes
called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date
to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof.
Notices of redemption may be subject to conditions specified in the notice. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein to any Holder of any Note selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of
any other Note. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price (or the method by which the redemption price is to be determined); 

(c) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the
Holder of the Notes (unless such unredeemed portion is equal to or less than $1,000 in principal amount) or transferred by book entry upon cancellation of the original Note; 

(d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

(f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment and interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed, as applicable; 
 (h) the CUSIP number, if any, and the
statement that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 

(i) any condition to such redemption. 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided
that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by

  
 -48- 

 
the Trustee), the Officers’ Certificate specified in Section 3.01 and requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as
provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and
payable on the redemption date at the redemption price (subject to satisfaction of any conditions to such redemption specified in the notice). The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given,
whether or not the Holder receives such notice. 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 in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or a portion thereof) to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly, and in any event within two Business Days after the redemption
date, return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption interest shall cease to accrue on the
Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to
the redemption date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the
Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption date not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder
at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

following the date of payment, any money (including accrued interest) that exceeds such amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest paid on the Notes. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that
place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. 

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate
equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable
grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months. 
 Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the
Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required 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. 

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 such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.03 hereof.

 Section 4.03 Reports. 

(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the
Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Notes (i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries (showing in reasonable detail, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company) and, with
respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants; and (ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on
Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports, in each case within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (together with any extensions granted by the SEC);
provided, however, that if the SEC will accept the filings of the Company, the Company, at its option, need not furnish such reports to the Trustee to the extent it elects to file such reports with the SEC; provided
further, however, that in no event shall such reports be required to contain separate financial statements for Guarantors or Subsidiaries that would be required under Section 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities
Act. In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Company becomes a guarantor of the Notes, the Company’s obligations under this Section 4.03 with respect to financial information relating to the Company may be satisfied
by furnishing financial information relating to such parent company; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one
hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. So long as any Notes remain outstanding if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Company will also (1) as promptly as reasonably practicable after furnishing to the Trustee the annual and quarterly reports required by Section 4.03(a)(i) or such earlier time after the completion of such reporting
period, hold a conference call to discuss the results of operations for the relevant reporting period; and (2) issue a press release to the appropriate nationally recognized wire services prior to the date of the conference call required to be
held in accordance with subclause (1) of this paragraph, announcing the time and date of such conference call and either including all information necessary to access the call. In addition, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed that, for
so long as any Notes remain outstanding, they will furnish to the Holders, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for information purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such
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 Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provisions of this 

  
 -54- 

 
Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein. The Trustee is entitled to assume such compliance and correctness unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee is informed otherwise. 
 Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) shall deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the Issue Date, a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the
activities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has performed its obligations under this Indenture,
and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has performed each and every covenant contained in this Indenture that is applicable to it in all material respects and is not in
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the
Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 
 (b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, when any Default has
occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company shall within thirty (30) Business Days deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (c) Except with respect to receipt of Note payments and any
Default or Event of Default information contained in the Officer’s Certificate delivered to it pursuant to this Section 4.04, the Trustee shall have no duty to review, ascertain or confirm the Company’s compliance with, or the breach
of any representation, warranty of covenant made in this Indenture. 
 Section 4.05 Taxes. 

The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and
governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 Section 4.07 Restricted Payments. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the
Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than (A) dividends or distributions accrued or payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Interests) of the Company or
(B) dividends or distributions to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); 
 (ii) purchase, redeem or

final maturity, in each case, due within one year of the date of such purchase, repurchase or other acquisition; or 
 (iv)
make any Restricted Investment 
 (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to
as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 
 (A)
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; 
 (B) the Company would,
at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and 

  
 -56- 

 (C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other
Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of this Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i) (provided that at the time of declaring such dividend, such dividend was
counted as a Restricted Payment) (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xv) of Section 4.07(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of 

(1) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from April 2, 2012
to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such
deficit), plus 
 (2) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including the fair market value of any property or Capital
Interests, received by the Company since August 27, 2012 as a contribution to its equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Interests) or from the issue or sale of Disqualified
Interests or debt securities of the Company that have been converted into such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Interests or convertible debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company), together with the aggregate
cash and Cash Equivalents received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of such conversion or exchange plus the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced upon the conversion or
exchange subsequent to August 27, 2012 of any Indebtedness or Disqualified Interests which are convertible into or exchangeable for Qualified Capital Interests of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, plus 

(3) 100% of the amount received, including the fair market value of any property received after August 27, 2012 by means
of (A) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the

Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus 
 (4) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted
Subsidiary or the merger or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the transfer of assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, the fair market value of the
Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted Investment), plus 

(5) $141.0 million. 

  
 -57- 

 The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary
if such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments or
Permitted Investments, in the Company’s discretion, at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments, as applicable. All such outstanding Investments will be deemed to
constitute Investments in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation. Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments would be permitted at such time and
if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 (b) Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit:

 (i) the payment of any dividend or other distribution or redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration or
call for redemption thereof, if at said date of declaration or call for redemption such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

(other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than any Disqualified Interests) or from a contribution of capital to the Company; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized
for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(C)(2); 

(iii) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, replacement, extension, renewal, refinancing or retirement or other acquisition
of subordinated Indebtedness or Disqualified Interests in exchange for or with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

common Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; 
 (v) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value
of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company held by any current or former officer, director, employee, consultant or agent of Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or Heirs or other permitted transferees thereof)
upon death, disability, retirement, severance or termination of employment or service or in connection with a stock option plan or agreement, shareholders agreement, or similar agreement, plan or arrangement, including amendments thereto;
provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed: (A) $10.0 million in any calendar year, with unused amounts being available to be

than Disqualified Interests) of the Company to any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that occurs after the date of this Indenture, to the extent such net cash proceeds have not otherwise been
applied to make Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(C)(2); plus (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of this Indenture that are

date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment

paragraph of this covenant, the Company may, in its sole discretion, classify, and may later reclassify from time to time, such Restricted Payment or any portion thereof into or among any of such applicable provisions.

Investments of the kind described in clauses (f) and (k) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”; 

(x) Indebtedness (a) consisting of indemnification obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or

giving pro forma effect to such incurrence of Indebtedness and such acquisition, consolidation or merger (A) the Company would have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or
(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be greater than such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition. 

  
 -64- 

 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item
of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in subparagraphs (b)(i) through (xviii) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the
Company, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to divide and classify such item of Indebtedness, (or any portion thereof) on the date of incurrence, and at any time and from time to time may later reclassify all or any portion of any item of
Indebtedness as having been incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.09 or under any category of Permitted Debt described in subparagraphs (b)(i) through (xviii) above so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be
incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification. Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms,
and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Interests in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Interests for purposes of this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Disqualified Interests for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. 

(d) Any increase in the United States dollar equivalent of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
denominated in a currency other than United States dollars resulting from fluctuations in the exchange values of currencies will not be considered to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. For purposes of determining
compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance other
Indebtedness denominated in a non-U.S. currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such
U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 

Section 4.10 Asset Sales. 
 (a) The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
 (i) the
Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (or, in the event of Asset Sales for
consideration of less than $50.0 million, by an officer of the Company)) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale);
and 

  
 -65- 

 (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary from such Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since August 27, 2012 on a cumulative basis is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents, assets or Capital Interests described under Sections 4.10(b)(ii) or 4.10(b)(iii) or a combination
thereof; provided that the amount of: (x) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, other
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Company and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,
(y) securities or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of cash received) within 180 days following
the closing of such Asset Sale, and (z) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.10(a)(ii) since the Issue Date and not yet converted to cash or Cash Equivalents, not to exceed 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of the
receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent
changes in value, shall each be deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose. 
 (b) Within
450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply such Net Proceeds: 

(i) to repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the
Notes or the Guarantees); 
 (ii) to acquire a majority of the assets of, or a majority of the voting Capital Interests of,
another Person (or division or business unit thereof); and/or 
 (iii) to make capital expenditures or to acquire other
tangible long-term assets; 
 provided that, prior to the application of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale in accordance with this paragraph (b),
the Company shall be entitled, within 180 days from the date of the Asset Sale, to apply such Net Proceeds towards the redemption of Equity Interests of the Company in an amount not to exceed the limitation set forth in Section 4.07(b)(ix).

 Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise
invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not
applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate 

  
 -66- 

 
amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company shall be required to make an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with
the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes
and such other indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 3.09 and such other Indebtedness. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other pari passu Indebtedness described under this Section 4.10(c) tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
respective aggregate amount of the Notes and such other Indebtedness to be purchased shall be determined on a pro rata basis, and the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in such aggregate amount on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of
such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) The Company shall comply with the requirements of
Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10
by virtue thereof. 
 Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) having a value in excess of $1.0 million, unless 

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 

(ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and that such
Affiliate Transaction has either been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or has been approved in an opinion issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing as being fair
to the Holders from a financial point of view. 

  
 -67- 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions: 
 (i) any employment agreement or arrangements, consulting, non-competition, confidentiality, indemnity or
similar agreement, incentive compensation plan, benefit arrangements or plan, severance or expense reimbursement arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(iii) payment of reasonable directors’ fees to directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and
other reasonable fees, compensation, benefits and indemnities paid or entered into with directors, officers and employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(iv) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07 and Permitted Investments; 

(v) any transaction with a Securitization Subsidiary effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Financing; 

(vi) the entering into of a registration rights agreement with the stockholders or debtholders of the Company; 

(vii) the issuance or sale of any Capital Interest (other than Disqualified Interests) of the Company and the granting of other
customary rights in connection therewith; 
 (viii) any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any amendments, renewals
or extensions of any such agreement (so long as such amendments, renewals or extensions are not less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries) and the transactions evidenced thereby; 

(ix) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company
solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, any Capital Interest in, or controls, such Person; and 

(x) transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a
letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment bank firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less
favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have reasonably been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis. 

  
 -68- 

 Section 4.12 Liens. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
securing Indebtedness on any of their respective assets now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, except Permitted Liens, unless contemporaneously therewith: 

(i) in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective
provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the same collateral; and 

(ii) in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Note Guarantee,
effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation, 

in each case, for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by such Lien (such Lien, a “Primary Lien”). 

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.12(a) shall automatically and unconditionally be
released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Primary Lien, without any further action on the part of any Person. 
 Section 4.13
Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from
time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Company shall not be required
to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase upon Change of
Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below in this Section 4.14 (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal
to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will
mail a notice to each Holder stating: 
 (i) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14
and, to the extent lawful, that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Company; 

  
 -69- 

 (ii) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30
days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(iii) that any Note not properly tendered or accepted for payment will remain outstanding and shall continue to accrue interest
in accordance with the terms hereof; 
 (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(v) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, or transfer by book entry transfer, to the Company, the Depository (if appointed by the Company) or a Paying Agent prior to the
close of business at least three Business Days preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (vi) that Holders shall be
entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided that the Company, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the close of business on
the date preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes
and its election to have such Notes purchased; 
 (vii) that if the Company is redeeming less than all of the Notes, the
Holders of the remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof or transferred by book-entry transfer; and 
 (viii) the other instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent
with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow. 
 The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been
given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (x) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (y) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure
to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. 

  
 -70- 

 (b) Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section 4.14, but in any event
within 90 days following a Change of Control, to the extent required to permit the Company to comply with this Section 4.14, the Company shall either repay all outstanding Indebtedness under the Credit Agreements or other Indebtedness ranking
senior to or pari passu with the Notes or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing such outstanding Indebtedness. 

(c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this
Section 4.14, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such compliance. 

(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof
properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each
Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion
of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 4.14, the Company
shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) 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, (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described above
under Section 3.07 in respect of all Notes then outstanding unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (3) if, in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, it or a third party
has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn in
accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 

  
 -71- 

 (f) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any other Person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described in paragraph (e) above, purchases all of the Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described in
this Section 4.14, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase). 

(g) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive
agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. 
 (h) Notes repurchased pursuant to a
Change of Control Offer shall be retired and cancelled. 
 Section 4.15 Limitation on Senior Subordinated Debt. 

The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate in right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company unless it
is pari passu or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor unless it is pari passu or subordinate
in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, solely by
reason of any Liens or guarantees arising or created in respect of such other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or
more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them. 
 Section 4.16 Discharge and Suspension of
Covenants. 
 (a) During any period of time that: (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and
(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), then
Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01(a)(iv) (the “Suspended Covenants”) shall not be applicable to the Notes. 

(b) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any
period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating (a “Reversion
Date”), then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter 

  
 -72- 

 
again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events; it being understood that no actions taken by (or omissions of) the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries during the suspension period shall constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Suspended Covenants. After the time of reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants upon such withdrawal or downgrade, calculations with respect to
Restricted Payments shall be made in accordance with the terms under Section 4.07 as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date. 

(c) (i) Indebtedness incurred while the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants shall be deemed to
have been incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) and (ii) Restricted Payments made while the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants will be deemed to have been made pursuant to the sum of clauses
(C)(1) through (5) under Section 4.07(a). 
 (d) The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
specifying (i) if a Covenant Suspension Event has occurred, (ii) if a Reversion Date has occurred and (iii) the dates of commencement or ending of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor whether or not a
Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred or if a Suspension Period has commenced or ended, nor any duty to notify Holders thereof. 

(e) During any period that the covenants have been suspended pursuant to Section 4.16(a), the Company may not designate any of its
Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 4.17 Subsidiary Guarantees. 

If any of the Company’s Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries shall guarantee Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreements, then
such Subsidiary shall, within 20 Business Days, become a Guarantor and execute a supplement to this Indenture for the purpose of providing a Note Guarantee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel, in accordance with the provisions of Article 10. Any such
Note Guarantee shall be subject to the release provisions and other limitations described in Article 10.

assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Company shall refer instead to the
successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided that the predecessor
Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01 hereof.

 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may notify the Company in writing, specifying the Event of Default, demanding that the Default be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” following which such Holders may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration pursuant to a Notice of Default, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice; provided,
however, that in the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(a)(iv) has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and
annulled if the failure to pay or acceleration triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iv) shall be remedied or cured or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of
acceleration with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(a)(vi) or (vii), with respect to the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. If any Designated Senior Debt is outstanding at the time of a declaration of acceleration, the
Company may only pay amounts due on the Notes if otherwise permitted by Article 13. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture. 

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

 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Notes waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of acceleration with respect to an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 -77- 

 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the
Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received adequate indemnity as determined by it in good faith. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 (3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the
offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not
given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 A Holder
of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any and
interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any and interest 

  
 -78- 

 
remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09 Restoration of
Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture
and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07
hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition
to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and
distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to 

  
 -79- 

 
pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in
liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

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

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

(iii) to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13. 

Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

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

exercise or performance of any 

  
 -84-

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes and all
obligations of the Guarantors upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

 (a) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and
the Guarantors shall (as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.02(a)), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding
Notes and Note Guarantees with respect thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall
be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (and the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the
other Sections of this Indenture referred to below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.05 hereof; 
 (ii) the
Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in

 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the
Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03 through 4.05, 4.07 through 4.15 and 4.17 hereof and
Section 5.01(a)(iv) and (b) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be
deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall be unaffected
thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(iii),
6.01(iv), 6.01(v), 6.01(vi) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries), 6.01(vii) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries) and 6.01(viii) shall not constitute Events
of Default. 
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03: 

(i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S.
dollars, noncallable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent investment bank, appraisal firms or public accountants, to pay the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption
date; 
 (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the
United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a

  
 -88- 

 
change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal 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 Legal
Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming 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; 

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 
 (v) such Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is bound including, without limitation, the Credit Agreements; 
 (vi) the Company must deliver to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
creditors of the Company or others; and 
 (vii) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and
to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 -89- 

 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the
Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(i) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

The Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, no later than three Business Days, pay to the Company after request therefor, any excess money
or Government Securities held with respect to the Notes at such time in excess of amounts required to pay any of the Company’s Obligations then owing with respect to the Notes. 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, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its
request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, 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 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or
8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall
be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the
case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Guarantee or this Indenture) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees: 
 (i)
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 
 (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of

Indenture Act; 
 (vi) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the

Notes, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate;

with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as in effect on the date hereof;

by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders
of Notes. 
 (a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, any Guarantor (with respect to its Note Guarantee) and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 

(b) Upon the request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such
amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture. 
 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment, consent, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall (or cause the Trustee, at the
expense of and at the request of the Company, to) mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby 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 such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 (e) Without the consent of
each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a nonconsenting Holder): 
 (i)
reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (ii) reduce the
principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 or provisions relating to minimum
notices required for redemptions of Notes); 

  
 -92- 

 (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

 (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes

to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;

subordination provisions of this Indenture that would adversely affect the Holders of Notes; 
 (viii) release any Guarantor
that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 

(ix) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. 

(f) No amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that would adversely affect the rights of any holder of
Designated Senior Debt then outstanding unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or a representative thereof authorized to give consent) consents to such amendment. 

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

If required, every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that
complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 

  
 -93- 

 Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and
complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). 
 ARTICLE 10 

NOTE GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01 Note
Guarantee. 
 (a) Subject to this Article 10 and Article 13, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, interest, premium on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on
the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of
any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that
this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall
be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the 

  
 -94- 

 
Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives
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 this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 

(c) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or
any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 (d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise
to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to
any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and
payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair
the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees. 
 (f) Each Note 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, 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 the Notes or Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not
so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

  
 -95- 

 (g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (h) The Note
Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior subordinated obligation of such Guarantor and shall be (x) subordinated in right of payment to the prior repayment in full in cash of all existing and future Senior Debt of
such Guarantor, if any, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.02 and Article 13 hereof and (y) pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any, including such
Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Existing Subordinated Notes. 
 (i) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note
Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 Section 10.02 Subordination of Guarantor
Payments. 
 Each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note
Guarantee are subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment of all Senior Debt of the Guarantor on the same basis as the Obligations on, or relating to the Notes, are subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment of all Senior Debt of the Company pursuant to Article 13. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees, and each of the Trustee and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the subordination and related provisions applicable to
the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee by virtue of the preceding sentence shall be as set forth in Article 13 as if each reference to “Company” therein were instead a reference to “a Guarantor,” each
reference to “Senior Debt of the Company” therein were instead a reference to “Senior Debt of each Guarantor” and each reference to “Notes” therein were instead a reference to “this Note Guarantee,” with such
appropriate modifications as the context may require. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive
and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, including Article 13 hereof. 
 Section 10.03 Limitation on Guarantor
Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties
that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent
applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect
to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.
Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed 

  
 -96- 

 
obligations under this Indenture to such contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective
net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 10.04 Execution and Delivery. 

(a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor as of the Issue Date hereby agrees that a notation of such
Note Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit D shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of each
Guarantor by one of its Officers. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes. 
 (c)
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 

(d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 (e) If required by Section 4.17 hereof, the Company shall cause the
applicable Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.17 hereof and this Article 10. 
 Section 10.05 Subrogation. 

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of
subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 
 Section 10.06
Benefits Acknowledged. 
 Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing
arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

  
 -97- 

 Section 10.07 Release of Note Guarantees. 

(a) A Note Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such
Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee or any Holder is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee: 

(i) if all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by way of merger
or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such transaction does not violate, to the extent applicable, Section 4.10; or 

(ii) if the Company designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.07; or 

(iii) if the Company consummates a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture following which such Guarantor is no longer a
Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (iv) if such Guarantor no longer guarantees Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit
Agreements, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or 
 (v) if the Company exercises its legal
defeasance option or covenant defeasance option pursuant to Article 8. 
 (b) At the request and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee
shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably requested evidencing such release. 
 ARTICLE 11

Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 (a) This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving
rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for herein) as to all outstanding Notes, when: 

(i) either: 

(A) all the Notes theretofore authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes

(ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company; and 

(iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Section 11.01(a)(i), the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall
survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

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

ARTICLE 13 
 SUBORDINATION OF
NOTES 
 Section 13.01 Agreement to Subordinate. 

The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note or a Note Guarantee thereof agrees, that payment of principal, premium and interest on
(or any other Obligations relating to) the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 13, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or
hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. 
 Section 13.02
Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. 
 The holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all
Obligations due in respect of Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt, whether or not such interest is allowed in such proceeding) before the Holders of
Notes will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities and payments made from either of the trusts, if any, described under Article
8 and Article 11 hereof), in the event of any distribution to creditors of the Company or any of the Guarantors: 
 (a) in a
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any of the Guarantors; 
 (b) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor or their respective property; 

(c) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Company or any of the Guarantors; or 

(d) in any marshaling of the Company’s or any of the Guarantors’ assets and liabilities. 

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of any event described in clauses (a) through
(d) above. 

  
 -104- 

 Section 13.03 Default on Designated Senior Debt. 

(a) Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors may make any payment in respect of the Notes (except in respect of Permitted Junior
Securities or from the trusts described under Article 8 and Article 11 hereof) if: 
 (i) a payment default on any Senior
Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period; or 
 (ii) any other default occurs and is continuing on
any series of Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of that series of Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from (a) with respect
to Designated Senior Debt arising under the Credit Agreements, the administrative agent thereunder, or (b) with respect to any other Designated Senior Debt, the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make payment on the Notes if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such
payment from the Representatives of any Designated Senior Debt with respect to which either of the events set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 13.03(a) has occurred and is continuing. 

(b) Payments on the Notes may and shall be resumed at the first to occur of the following: 

(i) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived; and 

(ii) in the case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of (A) the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or
waived, or (B) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, or (C) the date the Trustee receives notice from the Representative for such Designated Senior Debt rescinding the Payment Blockage
Notice, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated. 
 (c) No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered
unless and until 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Debt during such period. 

(d) No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee will be, or
will be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days. 

Section 13.04 Acceleration of Notes. 

The Company shall promptly notify Representatives of its Designated Senior Debt if payment on the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of
Default. 

  
 -105- 

 Section 13.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 

(a) If the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes receives a payment in respect of the Notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the
trusts described under Article 8 and Article 11 hereof) when: 
 (i) the payment is prohibited by this Article 13; and

 (ii) the Trustee has received written notice from the Company or the holders of Senior Debt at least three Business Days
before the payment date or the Holder has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited, 
 then, the Trustee or the Holder, as the case may be, will hold
the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. Upon the proper written request of the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee or the Holder, as the case may be, will deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of Senior Debt or
their proper representative. 
 (b) With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on
the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 13, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed
to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any
holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 13, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. 

Section 13.06 Notice by the Company. 

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of
any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 13, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt as provided in this Article 13. 

Section 13.07 Subrogation. 
 After
all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable
to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 13 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, among the Company, the Guarantors and
Holders, a payment by the Company or the Guarantors on the Notes. 

  
 -106- 

 Section 13.08 Relative Rights. 

(a) This Article 13 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 

(i) impair, among the Company, the Guarantors and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms or the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees; 

(ii) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company and the Guarantors other than their rights in
relation to holders of Senior Debt; or 
 (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available
remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes. 

(b) If the Company fails because of this Article 13 to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default
or Event of Default. 
 Section 13.09 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company and Guarantors. 

No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or
failure to act by the Company, or any Guarantor or any Holder or by the failure of the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder to comply with this Indenture. 

Section 13.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. 

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any Guarantor referred to in this Article 13, the Trustee
and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to
the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantors as applicable, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13. 

Section 13.11 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 13 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the 

  
 -107- 

 
Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written
notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 13. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 13 shall impair the claims of, or
payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold
Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. 
 Section 13.12
Authorization to Effect Subordination. 
 Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the
Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 13, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.12 hereof at least 30
days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the lenders under the Credit Agreements are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 13.13 Security Advice Waiver. 

The parties hereto acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant
them the right to receive brokerage confirmations for certain security transactions as they occur, they each specifically waive receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. 

Section 13.14 Patriot Act. 
 The
parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and
record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties hereto agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order
for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

 [Back of Note] 

5.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

1. INTEREST. Belden Inc., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at the rate of
5.25% per annum. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”); provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2015. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the then applicable interest rate on the
Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods), at the then applicable interest rate on
the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business
on January 1 and July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the City and State
of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes to the extent that the Holders of such Notes have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.
Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of June 27, 2014 (the “Indenture”), among Belden
Inc., the Guarantors named therein and the 

  
 A-5 

 
Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as its 5.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust
Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the
Company subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Debt of the Company. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may issue Additional Notes. The Notes and any Additional Notes (collectively, referred
to herein as the “Notes”) subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 
 (a) At
any time prior to July 15, 2019, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, on any one or more occasions upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of the Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive
interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Company is not prohibited by the terms of the Indenture from acquiring the Notes by means other than redemption, whether pursuant to a Company tender offer, in open market transactions, or
otherwise, assuming such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture. 
 (b) At any time on or prior to July 15,
2017, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem the Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price of 105.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
Redemption Date; provided that at least 65% of the principal amount of the Notes originally issued on the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately following such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries);
and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 120 days of the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering. 

(c) The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part on any one or more occasions, at the option of the Company, on or after July 15,
2019, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during
the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of the Holders of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date:

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the
Indenture. 
 6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect
to the Notes. 
 7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Subject to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class
mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the
notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by
a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

8. OFFER TO REPURCHASE. 
 (a)
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Section 4.14 of the Indenture shall apply to the extent applicable. 
 (b) If the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale, Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 of the Indenture shall apply to the extent applicable. 

9. NOTE GUARANTEES. The Notes are entitled to the benefit of the Note Guarantees set forth in (and subject to the limitations set forth in)
the Indenture. 
 10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and the Company will require a Holder to pay all taxes or similar government charges due on such transfer or exchange. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note
selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (x) for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Notes to be redeemed or (y) between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

  
 A-7 

 11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all
purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the Indenture. 
 12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Note
Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 
 13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default
relating to the Notes are set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, subject to certain
conditions and limitations set forth in the Indenture, declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any Designated Senior Debt is
outstanding, the Company may only pay amounts due on the Notes if otherwise permitted under Article 13 of the Indenture. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture or the Trust
Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice
of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes (other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration) held by a non-consenting Holder. The
Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required after
becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 

14. SUBORDINATION. Payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and the Note Guarantees is subordinated to the prior
payment in full of Senior Debt in accordance with and subject to the terms provided in the Indenture. 
 15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee. 

16. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS. No past, future or present director, officer, employee, partner,
manager, agent, member (or Person forming any limited liability company), incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Belden Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several purchasers named in Schedule I
hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is acting as Representative (in such capacity, the “Representative”), $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.250% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”), which will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis as to principal, premium, if any, and interest (the “Guarantees” and together with the Notes, the
“Securities”) by the subsidiaries of the Company named in Schedule II hereto (each individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture
(the “Indenture”) dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2) among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). This Agreement and the Indenture are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents” and the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein are hereinafter referred to as the
“Transactions.” 
 The Notes (and the related Guarantees) will be offered and sold through the Initial Purchasers
without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and
in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The Initial Purchasers have advised the Company that they will offer and sell the Notes purchased by them hereunder in accordance with
Section 3 hereof as soon as the Representative deems advisable. 
 In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company
has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated June 24, 2014 (including the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Preliminary Memorandum”), an Offering Memorandum (as defined below) and a Final Memorandum
(as defined below), dated the date hereof. The Final Memorandum, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum are each referred to herein as a “Memorandum.” Each Memorandum sets forth certain information concerning the
Company, the Guarantors, the Securities, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement thereto,
in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers. 
 Prior to the time when the sales of the Notes
were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company has prepared and delivered to the Initial Purchasers a pricing supplement (the “Pricing Supplement”), dated June 24, 2014. In connection with the sale of the
Notes, the Company 

 
has prepared an electronic road show (the “Company Additional Written Information”). The Pricing Supplement together with the Preliminary Memorandum is referred to herein as
the “Offering Memorandum.” 
 Promptly after the Time of Sale, and in any event no later than the second
business day following the Time of Sale, the Company will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a Final Offering Memorandum (including the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Final Memorandum”), which will
consist of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum with such changes therein as are required to reflect the information contained in the Pricing Supplement.  

1. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally represent and
warrant to, and agree with, each of the Initial Purchasers that: 
 (a) The Offering Memorandum at the Time of Sale did not

amendment or supplement thereto, as of its date and as of the Closing Date will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or, in each case, omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations or warranties set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to statements in or omissions from any Memorandum and the Company Additional Written
Information made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Initial Purchasers expressly for use therein, as specified in Section 12. The Company has not distributed or referred to and will
not distribute or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes other than (i) the Preliminary Memorandum, (ii) the Offering
Memorandum, (iii) the Final Memorandum and (iv) Company Additional Written Information. The statistical and industry data included in each Memorandum are based on or derived from sources that the Company believes to be reliable and
accurate in all material respects. 
 (b) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or
leasing of property requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” shall
mean a material adverse change in or effect on (i) the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, earnings, financial condition, results of operations or management of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise,
whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) the ability of the Company and each Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Transaction Documents.

 (c) Each of the Company and each Guarantor has full power (corporate and other)
to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described in each Memorandum; and each of the Company and each Guarantor has full power (corporate and other) to enter into the Transaction Documents and to carry out all the terms and
provisions hereof and thereof to be carried out by it. 
 (d) The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the
Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum under the caption “Capitalization.” All of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; and none of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was issued in violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any security holder of the Company. 

(e) Each subsidiary (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company (each, a
“Subsidiary”) has been duly incorporated or organized, is validly existing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, has the power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the issued shares
of capital stock or other ownership interests of each Subsidiary (and, in the case of entities which are not wholly-owned as set forth on Schedule III hereto, all of the issued shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of each such
entity that are owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and are owned directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries by the Company, free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, equities or claims, except as otherwise described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. 

(f) No Subsidiary is prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other
distribution on such Subsidiary’s capital stock or other ownership interests, from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such Subsidiary’s property or assets to the
Company or any other Subsidiary, except as provided by applicable laws or regulations, by the Indenture, by that certain term loan credit agreement, dated October 3, 2013, by and among the Company, Belden Finance 2013 LP, the Lenders party

approved by the Representative and will not amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum or otherwise distribute or refer to any “written communication” (as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) that
constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes (other than the Offering Memorandum, the Final Memorandum and the Company Additional Written Information) without first furnishing to the Representative a copy of such
proposed amendment or supplement and will not use or file any amendment or supplement to which the Representative may reasonably object. 

(b) The Company will furnish to the Initial Purchasers and to Counsel for the Initial Purchasers concurrently with the Time of
Sale and during the period referred to in paragraph (c) below, without charge, as many copies of the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto as they reasonably may request. 

(c) At any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, if any event occurs or
condition exists as a result of which the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it should be necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly
(i) notify the Initial Purchasers of the same; (ii) subject to the requirements of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, prepare and provide to the Initial Purchasers, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement to the Offering
Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, so that the statements in the Offering Memorandum or Final Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering 

  
 15 

 
Memorandum or Final Memorandum, is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Offering Memorandum or Final Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law; and
(iii) supply any supplemented or amended Offering Memorandum or Final Memorandum, to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, without charge, in such quantities as may be reasonably requested. 

(d) The Company will (i) qualify the Notes and the Guarantees for sale by the Initial Purchasers under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate and (ii) maintain such qualifications for so long as reasonably required for the resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or so subject. The Company will promptly
advise the Initial Purchasers of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. 

(e) At any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, (x) the Company will
deliver to the Initial Purchasers such additional information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company as the Initial Purchasers may from time to time reasonably request and (y) whenever it or any of its subsidiaries
publishes or makes available to the public (by filing with any regulatory authority or securities exchange or by publishing a press release or otherwise) any information that would reasonably be expected to be material in the context of the issuance
of the Notes under this Agreement, shall promptly notify the Initial Purchasers as to the nature of such information or event. At any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will notify the Initial Purchasers of
(i) any decrease in the rating of the Notes or any other debt securities of the Company by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act) or (ii) any notice or public
announcement given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or that any such securities rating agency has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Notes, as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Company becomes aware of any such decrease, notice or public announcement. 
 (f) The Company will not and will not
permit any of its Affiliates to resell any of the Notes that have been acquired by any of them, other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 

(g) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial
Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to which no statement is made) will, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of
the Notes under the Securities Act. 

  
 16 

 (h) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to which no statement is made), will solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell the Notes by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising
(within the meaning of Regulation D) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. 

(i) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial
Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to which no statement is made), will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Notes, and each of them will comply with the offering
restrictions requirements of Regulation S. 
 (j) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its
or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to which no statement is made), will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any securities of the same or a
similar class as the Notes, other than the Notes offered or sold to the Initial Purchasers hereunder, in a manner which would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Notes. 

(k) So long as any of the Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities
Act, at any time that the Company is not then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will provide at its expense to each holder of the Notes and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of the Notes,
upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. (This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated
by such holders from time to time, of the Notes.) 
 (l) Until completion of the distribution, neither the Company nor any of
its Affiliates will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes. 
 (m) For so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company and its
subsidiaries will conduct their operations in a manner that will not subject the Company or any Subsidiary to registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. 

(n) Each Note will bear the legend contained in “Notice to Investors” in the Offering Memorandum and the Final
Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms stated in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. 
 (o)
The Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Notes (other than the Notes
offered pursuant to this Agreement) for a period of 60 days after the date hereof, without the prior written consent of the Representative. 

  
 17 

 (p) Each of the Company and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that each of
the Initial Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company and each Guarantor with respect to the offering of the Notes and the Guarantees contemplated hereby (including in connection with
determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, any Guarantor or any other person. Additionally, no Initial Purchaser is advising the Company, any Guarantor or any other person as
to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Each of the Company and each Guarantor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent
investigation and appraisal of the Transactions, and the Initial Purchasers shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or any Guarantor with respect thereto. Any review by the Initial Purchasers of the Company, any Guarantor, the
Transactions or other matters relating to the Transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and shall not be on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor. 

5. Expenses. (a) Whether or not the Transactions are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and the Guarantors,
jointly and severally, will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and the Company’s
accountants in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation of each Memorandum and all amendments and supplements thereto, including all printing costs associated therewith, and
the delivering of copies thereof to the Initial Purchasers, in the quantities herein above specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers, including any transfer or other taxes
payable thereon, (iii) the cost of producing any Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Notes for offer
and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 4(d) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Counsel for the Initial Purchasers in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue
Sky or legal investment memorandum, (iv) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, (v) the costs and charges of the Trustee and any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (vi) the cost of the preparation,
issuance and delivery of the Notes, (vii) all costs and expenses relating to investor presentations, including any “road show” presentations undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Notes, including, without
limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics and fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations, and (viii) all other costs and expenses incident to the
performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that except as provided in Section 5(b) of this Agreement, the Initial Purchasers will pay all of
their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Notes by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make. 

  
 18 

 (b) If the sale of the Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or the
Guarantors to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will
reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of
the Notes; provided that in the case of a termination pursuant to any of clauses (i) (other than a termination as a result of a suspension in trading in any securities of the Company), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 10
hereof, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon demand for one-half of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that shall
have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Notes. 
 6. Conditions to the Initial
Purchasers’ Obligations. The obligations of the several Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Notes shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in Section 1 hereof,
in each case as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as if made on and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and
the Guarantors of their covenants and agreements hereunder and to the following additional conditions: 
 (a) The Initial
Purchasers shall have received (i) an opinion and negative assurance statement, dated the Closing Date, of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., counsel for the Company, the form of which is attached as Exhibit A, and (ii) an opinion,
dated the Closing Date, of Kevin L. Bloomfield, internal counsel for the Company, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B. 

(b) The Initial Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP,
Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Notes and such other related matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as it may
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling it to pass upon such matters. 
 (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have
received on each of the date hereof and the Closing Date a letter, dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, from
Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the historical
consolidated financial statements and certain financial information of the Company included in or incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall
use a “cut-off date” within three days of the date of such letter. References to the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in this paragraph (c) with respect to either letter referred to above shall include any amendment or
supplement thereto at the date of such letter. 

  
 19 

 (d) (i) None of the Company nor any of its subsidiaries, shall have
sustained, since the date of the latest audited historical consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), any loss or
interference with their respective businesses or properties from fire, explosion, flood, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree (whether domestic or
foreign) otherwise than as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto); and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum and the
Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or any change in or effect on or any
development having a prospective change in or effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, earnings, financial condition, results of operations or management of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise,
whether or not in the ordinary course of business, otherwise than as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any such case described in clause
(i) or (ii), is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner described in the Offering
Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 
 (e) The Initial Purchasers shall
have received certificates dated the Closing Date and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, of (i) the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and (ii) each Guarantor: as to
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in this Agreement at and as of the Closing Date; that the Company and or the applicable Guarantor(s), as the case may be, have performed all covenants and
agreements and satisfied all conditions on its or their part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; and as to the matters set forth in Section 6(d) (in the case of the certificate from the Company’s officers only).

 (f) The Notes shall have received initial ratings by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, and, subsequent to
the date hereof, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of the Notes or any of the Company’s other debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating agency”, as that term is defined by the Commission for
purposes of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, and no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review its ratings of the Notes or any of the Company’s other debt securities or any notice or
public announcement given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or that any such securities rating agency has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Notes. 

  
 20 

 (g) The Notes shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through The
Depository Trust Company. 
 (h) On or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers
shall have received such further certificates, documents or other information as they may have reasonably requested from the Company. 
 7.
[Reserved]. 
 8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Initial
Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser or such other person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final
Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or
supplement thereto a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, each Initial Purchaser and each such other person for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such other person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 12 hereof. 

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and their respective
affiliates, directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls any of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Company, the Guarantors, any such affiliates, directors or officers or such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or

  
 21 

 
any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or
the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchasers through the Representative specifically
for use therein as set forth in Section 12 hereof and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Guarantors or any
such affiliates, directors or officers or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof.

 (c) Promptly after receipt by any person to whom indemnity may be available under this Section 8 (the “indemnified
party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any person from whom indemnity may be sought under this Section 8 (the “indemnifying
party”), notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from (i) any liability which it may have under paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this Section 8 to the extent it is not materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) as a proximate result of the failure or (ii) any other liability which it may have to such
indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and such indemnified party notifies the relevant indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein
and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the named
parties in any such action (including impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have concluded, based on advice of outside counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel
appointed to defend such action (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs
of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) such indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the reasonable expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in any jurisdiction) for any
indemnified person in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in 

  
 22 

 
the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances) or (ii) such indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party or (iii) such indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party, such
indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the written consent of such indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified
party or any other person that may be entitled to indemnification hereunder is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party and such other
persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not contain any statement as to or finding of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party. 

(d) (i) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable or
insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any
action or claim) (or actions in respect thereof) (“Losses”), the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, agree to contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses to which the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, may be subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is unavailable for any
reason, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses, but, for the avoidance of doubt, net of the Initial Purchasers’ discounts) received by the Company bear to the total discounts, commissions and fees received by the Initial Purchasers from the Company in connection with the
purchase of the Notes hereunder as set forth in the Final Memorandum or this Agreement. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers, the parties’ intent, relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this paragraph (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated 

  
 23 

 
to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and fees received by such Initial Purchaser from the Company in connection with the purchase of the
Notes hereunder, and 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. The
Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective obligations to purchase Notes as set forth on Schedule I hereto and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if
any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other person listed in Section 8(a) hereof shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Initial Purchaser, and each affiliate, director or officer of the Company or any Guarantor 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 and the Guarantors. 
 (e) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this
Section 8 shall be in addition to any obligations or liabilities which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have and the obligations of the respective Initial Purchasers under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any obligations
or liabilities which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have. 
 9. Survival. The respective representations, warranties,
agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers, and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers or directors or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 hereof or
any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and controlling persons and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15
and 16 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 
 10.
Termination. (a) The Representative may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Notes by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to
perform in any material respect all obligations and satisfy in any material respect all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or if, at or prior to the Closing Date and after the execution of this
Agreement (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have
been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market; (ii) there has been a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United
States; (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or United States authorities, or (iv) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power,
(B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States, (C) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or (D) any change in general economic, political or financial conditions which
has an effect on the U.S. financial markets or the international financial markets that, in the case 

  
 24 

 
of any event described in this clause (iv), in the sole judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes as
disclosed in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto. 

(b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
provided in Sections 5 and 8 hereof. 
 11. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date
(the “Remaining Notes”) in the respective proportions that the principal amount of the Notes set opposite the name of each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of the Notes set opposite the
names of all the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes on the Closing Date if the total amount of Notes
which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, and no non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to
purchase more than 110% of the amount of Notes that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the
Initial Purchasers and the Company who so agree, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Remaining Notes. If the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other Initial
Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase the Remaining Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except that the Company will
continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth herein. 
 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve a
defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, the Company or the
Representative may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes in the Transaction Documents or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or Counsel for the
Initial Purchasers, may be necessary. 
 12. Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the second
sentence of the sixth paragraph and seventh paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, to the extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchasers, constitute the only
information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to the Company for the purposes of Sections 1(a) and 8 hereof. 
 13. Notices. All
communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to any of the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, 550 South Tryon Street,

 EXHIBIT A 

1. The Company is validly existing as a corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power
and authority necessary to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in all material respects. Each of the Covered Guarantors [DE only] is validly existing
as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, necessary to own
or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in all material respects. The Company and each Covered Guarantor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity
and is in good standing under the laws of each such jurisdiction set forth opposite the respective entity’s name on Annex A hereto. 

2. The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Covered Guarantors and (assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee and the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors) will constitute the valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in
accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable
principles and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”). 

3. The Notes have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when paid for by the Initial Purchasers in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors, and due authentication and delivery of the Notes by the
Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, except that the
enforcement thereof may be subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. 
 4. The Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Covered Guarantors and, when the Notes have been paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee
and the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors, and due authentication and delivery of the Guarantees by the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors in accordance with the Indenture), will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligations of the Guarantors, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. 

5. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Covered Guarantors. 

  
 A-1 

 6. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers and the issuance of the Guarantees) will not constitute or result in a breach or a default under (or an event that
with notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default under) any of (i) the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company or the comparable organizational documents of the Covered Guarantors, or (ii) any statute or
any judgment, order or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority known to such counsel, except, with respect to clause (ii) only, for any such conflict, breach, violation or default that would not reasonably
be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to clause (ii) above, such counsel need not express any opinion as to the applicability of any federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or
federal or state antifraud laws, rules or regulations. 
 7. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any governmental authority is
required for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes and the issuance of the Guarantees by the Guarantors or the consummation by the Company and the Guarantors of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, except
(i) such as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion, (ii) such as may be required under federal securities laws, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion
other than the opinion provided in paragraphs 8 and 9 below, and (iii) those which have previously been obtained. 
 8. None of the
Company and the Guarantors are, and immediately after the sale of the Securities to be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the application of the proceeds from such sale (as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum under
the caption “Use of Proceeds”) will be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act. 

9. Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained
in the Purchase Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required in connection with the sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers or in connection with the initial resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, in each case as
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. 
 10. The statements under the captions
“Description of Notes” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, insofar as such statements relate to statements of law or summaries of
documents referred to therein or of legal conclusions, have been reviewed by such counsel and such statements of law and summaries of documents are accurate in all material respects. 

In addition, such counsel shall also state that it has participated in conferences with representatives of the Company and the Guarantors and with
representatives of the Company’s independent accountants at which conferences the contents of the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed. Although such counsel
has not undertaken to determine independently, and does not assume any 

  
 A-2 

 
responsibility for, or express any opinion regarding the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (except as expressly
provided in paragraph 10 above), based upon the participation described above, nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to cause such counsel to believe that the Offering Memorandum, as of the Time of Sale, or that the Final Memorandum, as
of its date or at the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. In making the foregoing statement, such counsel need not express any comment or belief with respect to the financial statements and notes and related schedules and other financial and accounting data contained in or omitted from the
Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.

	 	Re:	Belden Inc. Offering of 5.250% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

I am Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of Belden Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). In that capacity I
have acted as counsel for the Company and the Guarantors (as defined below) with respect to the matters described herein. This letter is being delivered in response to the requirement in Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement dated
June 24, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative (the “Representative”) for the several purchasers listed on Schedule I to the Purchase Agreement (the “Initial
Purchasers”), the Company, the guarantors listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Guarantors”) relating to the sale by the Company of $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.250% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024
(the “Notes”) to be issued under the Indenture dated as of June 27, 2014 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes are guaranteed
pursuant to the guarantees to be issued by the Guarantors on the date hereof, as evidenced by the Notations of Guarantees (the “Guarantees,” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 
 In connection with the
preparation of this letter, I have among other things read: 
 (a) the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated June 24, 2014 relating to
the offering and sale of the Notes (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”); 
 (b) the Supplement to the Preliminary Offering
Memorandum, dated June 24, 2014 (the “Pricing Supplement” and, collectively with the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the “Offering Memorandum”); 

(c) the Offering Memorandum, dated June 24, 2014, relating to the offering and sale of the Notes (the “Final Offering
Memorandum”); 
 (d) an executed copy of the Purchase Agreement; 

(e) an executed copy of the Indenture; 

  
 B-1 

 (f) the executed Notes and the executed Guarantees; 

(g) a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on
[            ], 2014; 
 (h) a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Chief
Executive Officer, who is also a director, of the Company dated [            ], under authority delegated to him by the Board of Directors; 

(i) a copy of the resolutions adopted by the boards of directors of the Guarantors dated
[            ], 2014; 
 (j) copies of all certificates and other documents
delivered in connection with the sale of the Notes on the date hereof and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; and 

(k) such other records, certificates and documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to deliver the opinions set forth herein.

 Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations which are identified in this letter, I advise you that: 

1. To my knowledge and except as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no legal or governmental
proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject that would, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; and to my knowledge and except as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or others that would, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company and each of the
Guarantors (as applicable) of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees and the issuance and sale of the Securities as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum do not and will not result in a material
breach, default or violation under any existing obligation of or restriction on such entity under any agreements filed (including by incorporation by reference) pursuant to Items 601(b)(l)(2),(4) or (10) of Regulation S-K as an exhibit to the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and any subsequent current reports on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Material Agreements”), it being expressly understood that I express no opinion as to any
federal securities laws, securities laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction (including “Blue Sky” laws), the indemnification and contribution provisions of the Purchase Agreement or the effect of such entity’s performance of its
obligations on such entity’s compliance with financial covenants or covenants requiring financial calculations. If a Material Agreement is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than Missouri, I have assumed such Material Agreement is
governed by the laws of Missouri. 
 I am admitted to practice law in the State of Missouri and the opinion expressed herein is limited to
the present law of the State of Missouri and the federal law of the United States. 

  
 B-2 

 
I express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. To the extent the opinions expressed herein are governed by laws other than the State of Missouri or federal law of the United
States, I have assumed with your permission that the laws of each such other jurisdiction are the same as the laws of the State of Missouri. 

This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and I render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any
other matters. The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to existing applicable laws, each as in effect on the date hereof I undertake no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement my opinions set forth herein in response to
subsequent changes in the law or to reflect facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to our attention. 

This opinion letter is provided in my capacity as General Counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement. You may rely upon this letter only for the purpose served by the provision in the Purchase Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without my written consent:
(i) no person (including any person that acquires securities from you) other than you may rely on this letter for any purpose; provided, however, my opinion may be relied upon by the Trustee under the Indenture; (ii) this
letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance
upon this letter by any person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance. 

Very truly yours, 

Kevin L. Bloomfield, Esq.
