replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The requesting Holder must furnish an indemnity that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer and

provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by
the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which a responsible officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned will be so disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee

 Section 2.06. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate

Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the Issuer will execute and
the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as definitive
Notes.

authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold. Any Registrar
or the Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its
normal procedures. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.08. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders,
the notice to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers 

  

 38 

 
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 Section 2.09. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes will be
issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and
exchanges of the Notes. 
 (b)(1) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is
serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend. 
 (2) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as
custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (1) as set
forth in Section 2.09(b)(4) and (2) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on
behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 2.10. 
 (3) Agent Members will have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and
any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent
Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security. 
 (4) If
(x) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal

  

 39 

 
aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the
Global Note will be deemed canceled. If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes
issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder of any such Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the
Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such
Holder. 
 (c) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee. 
 (d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another
Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by
Section 2.10. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that: 
 (x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such register; and 
 (y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before the
mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a
partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding
Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and their agents will treat
the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

 40 

 From time to time the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary
in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section. 
 No service charge will be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Issuer or the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)). 
 (e)(1) Global Note to Global Note. If a
beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the
principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be
subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
 (2) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated
Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an
equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable. 
 (3) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global
Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or
exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred
or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
  

 41 

 (4) Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred
or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as
applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
 Section 2.10. Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange. (a) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global
Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.

 (b) Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A
below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C

	(1)	No certification is required. 

	(2)	The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Regulation S Certificate; provided that if the requested
transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required.

transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note
that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the
Trustee or (ii) a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

	(4)	The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate. 

	(5)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global
Note. If the requested transfer involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, the Person requesting the transfer must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed (x) Rule 144A Certificate or (y) a
duly completed Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer is being made in compliance
with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. If the requested transfer or exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, no certification is required and the Trustee will
deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend. 

 (c) No certification is required in connection with
any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the Issuer may require from any Person
requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this Section 2.10(c) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate. Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph
will not bear the Restricted Legend. 
  

 43 

 (d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in
connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Issuer will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee.

exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law. 
 (f) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of
any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required
by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 (g) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent Member shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
 Section 2.11. Temporary Offshore Global Notes. (a) Each Note originally sold by the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S
will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Notes that bear the Temporary Offshore Global Note Legend.

being understood that the Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period). Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such
beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest
and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted Period any Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to
its status as an Initial Purchaser, exchange such beneficial 

  

 44 

 
interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will
(x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial
interest. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global
Note shall not be entitled to receive payment of principal or interest on such beneficial interest or other amounts in respect of such beneficial interest until such beneficial interest is exchanged for an interest in a Permanent Offshore Global
Note or transferred for an interest in another Global Note or a Certificated Note.

 At any time and from time to time on or after May 1, 2013, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium equal to one-half the annual coupon thereon and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. 
 Section 3.02. Redemption with Proceeds of Public Equity Offering. At any time and from time to time prior to May 1, 2012, the Issuer
may, at its option on one or more occasions, redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued with the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer from one or more Equity
Offerings at a redemption price equal to 110% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant interest payment date), provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption: 
 (1)
at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly by the Company or its Affiliates), and 
 (2) in each case the redemption takes place not later within 90 days after the closing of the related offering of Qualified Equity
Interests. 
  

 45 

 Section 3.03. Method and Effect of Redemption. (a) If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes,
it must notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officers’ Certificate at least 60 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee). If
fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, the Officers’ Certificate must also specify a record date not less than 15 days after the date of the notice of redemption is given to the Trustee, and the Trustee will select the Notes to be
redeemed pro rata, by lot or by any other method the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, in accordance with the procedures of DTC, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of
the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption. Notice of redemption must be sent by the Issuer or at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, except that a notice of redemption may be sent 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 this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of Article 8. 
 (b) The notice of redemption will identify the Notes
(including CUSIP numbers) to be redeemed and will include or state the following: 
 (1) the redemption date; 
 (2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; 
 (3) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for redemption; 
 (4) Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect the redemption price; 
 (5) on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on Notes called
for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (6) if any Note is redeemed in part, on and after the
redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued; and 
 (7) if any Note contains a CUSIP number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes. 
  

 46 

 (c) Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due and payable
at the redemption price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Issuer shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price. Commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest. Upon
surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note. 
 Section 3.04. Offer to Purchase. (a) An “Offer to Purchase” means an offer by the Issuer or the Company to purchase Notes as required by the Indenture. An Offer to Purchase must be
made by written offer (the “offer”) sent to the Holders. The Issuer or the Company will notify the Trustee at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its
obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the Company or the Issuer or, at the Company’s or the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company or the Issuer. 
 (b) The offer must include or state the following as to the terms of the Offer to Purchase: 
 (1) the provision of the Indenture pursuant to which the Offer to Purchase is being made; 
 (2) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes offered to be purchased by the Company or the Issuer pursuant to the Offer to
Purchase (including, if less than 100%, the manner by which such amount has been determined pursuant to the Indenture) (the “purchase amount”); 
 (3) the purchase price, including the portion thereof representing accrued and unpaid interest; 
 (4) an expiration date (the “expiration date”) not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of the offer,
and a settlement date for purchase (the “purchase date”) not more than five Business Days after the expiration date; 
 (5) information concerning the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (which information may be incorporated by reference in such Offer to Purchase), which the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, in good faith
believes will enable the Holders to make an informed decision with respect to the Offer to Purchase, at a minimum to include: 
 (A) the most recent annual and quarterly financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the Company, 
  

 47 

 (B) a description of material developments in the Company’s business subsequent to
the date of the latest of the financial statements (including a description of the events requiring the Company to make the Offer to Purchase), and 
 (C) if applicable, appropriate pro forma financial information concerning the Offer to Purchase and the events requiring the Company or the Issuer to make the Offer to Purchase; 
 (6) a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, subject to the requirement that any portion of a
Note tendered must be in a multiple of $1,000 principal amount; 
 (7) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered
for tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase; 
 (8) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be
required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such Note being, if the Company, the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly
executed written instrument of transfer); 
 (9) interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not purchased by the
Company or the Issuer pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue to accrue; 
 (10) on the purchase date the purchase
price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date; 
 (11) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Company or the Issuer, as applicable,
or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing
all or a portion of the tender; 
 (12)(i) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the purchase amount
are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, will purchase all such Notes, and (ii) if the Offer to Purchase is 

  

 48 

 
for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn
pursuant to the offer, the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal
amount will be purchased; 
 (13) if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Note will be issued; and 
 (14) if any Note contains a CUSIP number, no representation is being made as to the
correctness of the CUSIP number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. 
 (c) Prior to the purchase date, the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, will accept tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase
and deliver to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for
purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The Trustee will promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of any Notes accepted for purchase in part. 
 (d) The Company or the Issuer, as applicable, will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and all other applicable laws in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

provided in the Notes and the Indenture. Not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the due date of any principal of or interest on any Notes, or any redemption or purchase price of the Notes, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee (or
Paying Agent) money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such amounts, provided that if the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer is acting as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date, segregate and hold in a separate
trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such amounts until paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in the Indenture. In each case the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its compliance with

interest will be considered paid on the due date only if paid to the Holders. 
 (c) The Issuer agrees to pay interest on overdue principal,
and overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum specified in the Notes.

 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where
notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Issuer. The Issuer will 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 Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served to the Trustee. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one
or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be surrendered or presented for any of such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer will 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. 
 Section 4.03. Existence. The Company will do
or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the existence of each Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with their respective organizational documents, and the material rights, licenses and
franchises of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary, provided that Company is not required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the existence of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer), if the maintenance or
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and provided, further, that this Section does not prohibit any transaction otherwise permitted
by Section 4.13 or Article 5. 
  

 50

each of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge before the same become delinquent (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or its income or profits or property, and
(ii) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or
validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established. 
 Section 4.05. Maintenance of Properties and Insurance. (a) The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept
in good condition, repair and working order as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be properly conducted at all times; provided that nothing in this Section
prevents the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal (i)(A) is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in
the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (B) would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors to satisfy their Obligations under this Indenture and,
to the extent applicable (ii) is not otherwise prohibited by this Article IV. 
 (b) The Company will provide or cause to be provided,
for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, is adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business
of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 4.06. Limitation on Debt. (a) The Company: 
 (1) will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt; provided that the Company, the Issuer or
any other Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Debt if, on the date of the Incurrence, after giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Leverage Ratio is not greater than 2.75:1.0 or less than
zero; provided that the amount of Debt that may be Incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not the Issuer or Guarantors shall not exceed $100,000,000 at any one time outstanding. 
  

 51 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and, to the extent provided below, any Restricted
Subsidiary may Incur the following (“Permitted Debt”): 
 (1) Debt (“Permitted Bank Debt”)
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Credit Facilities (including the Senior Credit Facility) and Guarantees of such Debt by any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding

subordinate in right of payment to the Notes at least to the extent that the Debt to be refinanced is subordinated to the Notes, 
 (B) the new Debt does not have a Stated Maturity prior to the Stated Maturity of the Debt to be refinanced, and the Average Life of the new Debt is at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Debt to be refinanced, 
  

 52 

 (C) in no event may Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor be refinanced pursuant to this
clause by means of any Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor, and 
 (D) Debt Incurred
pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (5), (6), (10), (11), (12) and (13) may not be refinanced pursuant to this clause;

 53 

 (10) Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor consisting of Guarantees of Debt of the Issuer

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.06, for purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.06, increases in Debt solely due to fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will not be deemed to exceed the maximum amount that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur under this Section 4.06. For purposes of determining
compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
the date such Debt was Incurred; provided that if such Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if
calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed
the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced. The principal amount of any Debt Incurred to refinance other Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate
applicable to the currencies in which such respective Debt is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
  

 54 

 (d) In the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described
in this Section 4.06, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify items of Debt and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses and the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of
Debt in more than one of the types of Debt described in this Section 4.06, and may change the classification of an item of Debt (or any portion thereof) to any other type of Debt described in this Section 4.06 at any time; provided that Debt
under the Senior Credit Facility outstanding on the Issue Date shall be deemed at all times to be incurred under clause (1) of Section 4.06(b) above. 
 (e) Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Debt of the same class will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for
purposes of this Section 4.06 but will be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of outstanding Debt for purposes of Incurring future Debt. 
 (f) Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor may Incur any Debt that is subordinate in right of payment to other Debt of the Issuer or the Guarantor unless such Debt is also subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or
the relevant Note Guaranty on substantially identical terms. This does not apply to distinctions between categories of Debt that exist by reason of any Liens or Guarantees securing or in favor of some but not all of such Debt. Unsecured Debt will
not be treated as subordinated or junior to secured Debt merely because it is unsecured and senior Debt will not be treated as subordinated or junior to any other senior Debt merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same
collateral. 
 Section 4.07. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly (the payments and other actions described in the following clauses being collectively “Restricted Payments”):

Company’s Qualified Equity Interests) held by Persons other than the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries;

Subordinated Debt except a payment of interest or principal at Stated Maturity (other than Debt permitted under clause under Section 4.06(b)(2); or 
  

 55 

 (iv) make any Investment other than a Permitted Investment; 
 unless, at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment: 
 (1) no Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (2) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of Debt under the Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 4.06(a); and 
 (3) the aggregate amount expended for all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date would not, subject to paragraph (c), exceed
the sum of

minus 100% of the amount of the loss) accrued on a cumulative basis during the period, taken as one accounting period, beginning on April 4, 2009 and ending on the last day of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter for which
financial statements have been provided (or if not timely provided, required to be provided) pursuant to the Indenture, plus 
 (B) subject to paragraph (c), the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company (other than from a Subsidiary) after the Issue Date from the issuance and sale of its Qualified Equity Interests (other than Designated Preferred Stock),

 (C) an amount equal to the sum, for all Unrestricted Subsidiaries, of the following: 
 (x) the cash return, after the Issue Date, on Investments in an Unrestricted Subsidiary made after the Issue Date pursuant to this

 (y) the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the
assets less liabilities of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, 
  

 56 

 not to exceed, in the case of clause (y) above, the amount of Investments made after the Issue Date
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to this paragraph (a), plus 
 (D) the
cash return, after the Issue Date, on any other Investment made after the Issue Date pursuant to this paragraph (a), as a result of any sale for cash, repayment, redemption, liquidating distribution or other cash realization (which amounts shall be
excluded in calculating Consolidated Net Income for purposes of clause (3)(A) above), not to exceed the amount of such Investment so made. 
 The amount expended in any Restricted Payment, if other than in cash, will be deemed to be the fair market value of the relevant non-cash assets, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination will be conclusive
and evidenced by a Board Resolution. 
 (b) The foregoing will not prohibit: 
 (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof if, at the date of declaration, such payment would
comply with paragraph (a); 
 (2) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary payable, on a pro rata basis or
on a basis more favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to all holders of any class of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary a majority of which is held, directly or indirectly through Restricted Subsidiaries, by the Company;

 (3) the repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Debt

 (7) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of
Equity Interests of the Company held by officers, directors or employees or former officers, directors or employees (or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates), upon death, disability, retirement, severance or termination of employment
or pursuant to any agreement under which the Equity Interests were issued; provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid therefor in any twelve-month period after the Issue Date does not exceed an aggregate amount of $25,000,000;

 (8) the repurchase of any Subordinated Debt at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount thereof in
the event of (A) a change of control pursuant to a provision no more favorable to the holders thereof than Section 4.12 or (B) an Asset Sale pursuant to a provision no more favorable to the holders thereof than Section 4.13,
provided that, in each case, prior to, or substantially simultaneous with, the repurchase the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries has made an Offer to Purchase and repurchased all Notes issued hereunder that were validly tendered
for payment in connection with the Offer to Purchase; 
 (9) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for
value of Equity Interests of the Company, or any dividends or distributions by the Company on its Equity Interests, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000,000; provided that after giving effect to any such purchase, redemption,
acquisition or retirement for value or dividends or distributions on a pro forma basis, the Leverage Ratio is not greater than 1.5:1.0;

in respect of Maxtor Corporation’s 5.75% Subordinated Debentures due March 2012 as required pursuant to the terms thereof in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (13) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock issued after the Issue Date; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such dividends
paid cannot exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the offering of such Designated Preferred Stock; 
 (14) other Restricted Payments, provided that after giving effect to any such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis the Leverage
Ratio is not greater than 1.5:1.0 and the Available Liquidity is not less than $800,000,000; and 
 (15) other Restricted
Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000; 
 provided that, in the case of clauses (7), (8), (9), (14) and (15) no Default has

 62 

 Section 4.13. Limitation on Asset Sales. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Sale unless the following conditions are met: 
 (1) The Asset Sale is for fair
market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company. 
 (2) At least 75%
of the consideration consists of cash or Cash Equivalents received at closing. For purposes of this clause (2), (A) the assumption by the purchaser of Debt or other obligations (other than Subordinated Debt) of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary pursuant to a customary novation agreement; (B) instruments or securities received from the purchaser that are promptly, but in any event within 90 days of the closing, converted by the Company to cash or Cash Equivalents, to the

Permitted Business, or a combination of such assets and cash and Cash Equivalents, shall be considered cash received at closing. 
 (3) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds may be used 
 (A) to permanently repay First-Priority Lien Obligations of the Issuer or a Guarantor, any Permitted Bank Debt or any Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor (and in the case of a revolving credit, permanently
reduce the commitment thereunder by such amount), in each case owing to a Person other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

 (4) The Net
Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale not applied pursuant to clause (2) within 365 days of the Asset Sale constitute “Excess Proceeds” and will be carried forward and accumulated. When 

  

 63 

 
accumulated Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $100,000,000, the Issuer must, within 30 days, make an Offer to Purchase Notes having a principal amount equal
to: 
 (A) accumulated Excess Proceeds, multiplied by 
 (B) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (y) the denominator of
which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all Debt (secured by Liens on the Collateral of the same priority as the Liens securing the Notes) similarly required to be repaid, redeemed or tendered for in connection with the
Asset Sale, 
 rounded down to the nearest $1,000. The purchase price for the Notes will be 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Upon completion of the Offer to Purchase, Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero, and any Excess Proceeds remaining after consummation of the Offer to Purchase may be used for any purpose not
otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. 
 Section 4.14. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will
not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering
of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (a “Related Party Transaction”), except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary than could be
obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company. 
 (b) Any Related Party
Transaction or series of Related Party Transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $25,000,000 must first be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors who are disinterested in the subject matter of the transaction pursuant to a Board
Resolution. Prior to entering into any Related Party Transaction or series of Related Party Transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000,000, the Company must in addition obtain a favorable written opinion from a nationally recognized
investment banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from a financial point of view. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any borrowings or commitments under the Senior Credit
Facility (as in effect on the Issue Date) remain outstanding, this paragraph (b) will not be required to be complied with in connection with any applicable Related Party Transaction. 
  

 64 

 (c) The foregoing paragraphs do not apply to

the ordinary course of business; 
 (5) transactions pursuant to any contract or agreement in effect on the date of the
Indenture, as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those in effect on the date of the
Indenture; 
 (6) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided for the benefit of, current
or former officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 (8) sales of accounts receivable, or participations therein, in connection with any Permitted Receivables Financing; 
 (9) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and
employment agreements, stock option plans and other similar arrangements with such employees or consultants which, in each case, are approved by the Company in good faith; 
 (10) any transaction with a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity which would constitute a Related Party Transaction
solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; 
 (11) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any

  

 65 

 
stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) entered into with any Person that immediately
prior to entering into such agreement or agreements was not an Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and 
 (12) transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from a nationally recognized investment banking firm 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 its 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 on an arm’s length basis. 
 Section 4.15. Designation of
Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary (other than the Issuer), including a newly acquired or created Subsidiary, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it meets the following
qualifications and the designation would not cause a Default: 
 (1) Such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or hold any Debt of, or any Lien on any property of, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (2) At the time of the designation, the designation would be permitted under Section 4.07. 
 (3) To the extent the
Debt of the Subsidiary is not Non-Recourse Debt, any Guarantee or other credit support thereof by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Section 4.06 and Section 4.07. 
 (4) The Subsidiary is not party to any transaction or arrangement with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that would not be
permitted under Section 4.14. 
 (5) Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for
additional Equity Interests of the Subsidiary or to maintain or preserve its financial condition or cause it to achieve specified levels of operating results except to the extent permitted by Section 4.06 and Section 4.07. 
 Once so designated the Subsidiary will remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary, subject to paragraph (b).

 (b)(1) A Subsidiary previously designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary which fails to meet the
qualifications set forth in paragraph (a) will be deemed to become at that time a Restricted Subsidiary, subject to the consequences set forth in paragraph (d). 
 (2) The Board of Directors may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation would not cause a
Default. 
 (c) Upon a Restricted Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary: 
 (1) all existing Investments of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Company’s proportional share of
the fair market value of its assets less liabilities) will be deemed made at that time; 
 (2) all existing Capital Stock or
Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed Incurred at that time, and all Liens on property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time; 
 (3) all existing transactions between it and the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed entered into at that time;

 (4) it is automatically released at that time from its Note Guaranty, if any, and Liens on its assets will be automatically
released; and 
 (5) it will cease to be subject to the provisions of the Indenture as a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (d) Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming, or being deemed to become, a Restricted Subsidiary: 
 (1) all of its Debt and Disqualified or Preferred Stock will be deemed Incurred at that time for purposes of Section 4.06, but will not be

 (2) Investments therein
previously charged under Section 4.07 will be credited thereunder;

Subsidiary. 
 (e) Any designation by the Board of Directors of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary will be

the Exchange Act, the Company must provide the Trustee within the time periods specified in those sections with: 
 (1) all
quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission 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” and, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s independent registered public accountants, and 
 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such

 In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will, if the Commission will accept the filing, file a copy
of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations. If the Company had any Unrestricted Subsidiaries
during the relevant period, the Company will also provide to the Trustee information sufficient to ascertain the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding in all respects the Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, such information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above shall not be required to
contain separate financial information for Guarantors or Subsidiaries whose securities are pledged to secure the Notes that would be required under Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission. 
 The Company shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4.16 to the extent the Company has filed or furnished documents and reports referred to in
clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission via the EDGAR system or any successor electronic delivery procedures within the time periods specified above. The Trustee shall have no duty whatsoever to verify that such filing has in fact
been effectuated. 
  

 68

under Rule 144, the Company will furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (c) Delivery of these reports and information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of them will 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). 
 Section 4.17. Reports to Trustee. (a) The Company will deliver to the
Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year a certificate from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company stating that the officer has conducted or supervised a review of the activities of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries and their performance under the Indenture and that, based upon such review, the Company has fulfilled its obligations hereunder or, if there has been a Default, specifying the Default and its nature and status.

 (b) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the
occurrence of a Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of the Default, and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (c) The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company a written statement by the Company’s independent registered public accountants stating (i) that
their audit examination has included a review of the terms of this Indenture and the Notes as they relate to accounting matters, and (ii) whether, in connection with their audit examination, any Default has come to their attention and, if a
Default has come to their attention, specifying the nature and period of the existence thereof. 
 Section 4.18. Further Assurances;

conveyances, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, landlord waivers, bailee agreements and control agreements), and take such other 

  

 69 

 
actions, as may be required under applicable law or as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably appropriate or advisable to cause the
Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied and otherwise to create, perfect, preserve or protect the security interest in the Collateral of the secured parties under the Security Agreements, all at the Issuer’s expense. 
 (b) Upon written request of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer will,
and will cause the Guarantors to, subject to such party entering into a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement with the Issuer and the Company, permit the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or any advisor, auditor, consultant, attorney or
representative acting for the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, upon reasonable notice to the Issuer and during normal business hours, to visit and inspect any of the property of the Issuer and each Guarantor, to review, make extracts from and copy
the books and records of the Issuer and the Guarantors relating to any such property, and to discuss any matter pertaining to any such property with the officers and employees of the Issuer and the Guarantors. 
 Section 4.19. Limitation of Applicability of Certain Covenants if Corporate Family Rating of the Company is Investment Grade. (a) The
obligation of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with Section 4.06, Section 4.07, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.13 and Section 4.14 of this Article 4 and clause (3) under Section 5.01 will be suspended (such suspended
covenants, the “Suspended Covenants”) and cease to have any further effect from and after the first date when the corporate family rating of the Company is Investment Grade; provided that if the corporate family rating of the
Company ceases to be Investment Grade, then, from and after the time the corporate family rating of the Company ceases to be Investment Grade, the obligation of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the Suspended Covenants shall
be reinstated. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement shall give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture upon reinstatement; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such
reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date will be calculated as though Section 4.07 had been in effect during the entire period after such date; and (2) all Debt Incurred, during the suspension period will
be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(8). 
 Section 4.20. Actions Taken Under the Senior Credit Facility.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 4, so long as any borrowings or commitments under the Senior Credit Facility, as in effect on the Issue Date, remain outstanding, if and to the extent that the Company and its

  

 70 

 
Restricted Subsidiaries are not prohibited from taking an action under such credit facility (pursuant to the provisions applicable after January 1,
2010, as such provisions are in effect on the Issue Date) and such action is prohibited under the Indenture, such action shall nonetheless be permitted under the Indenture and the Security Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, any Debt so
permitted to be Incurred, or Restricted Payment so permitted to be made, shall be taken into account for purposes of subsequent calculations of the Leverage Ratio and the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a)(3),
respectively.

 (4) the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, delivers to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture; 
 provided that clauses (2) and (3) do not apply if, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of the Company or the Issuer, whose determination is evidenced by a board resolution of the Company or the Issuer, the sole
purpose of the transaction is to change the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of the Company or the Issuer. 
 (b) Each of the
Company and the Issuer shall not lease all or substantially all of its assets, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, to one or more other Persons.

succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company or the Issuer in the Indenture.
Upon such substitution, unless the successor is one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, will be released from its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes. 
 Section 5.02. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets by a Guarantor. (a) No Guarantor (other than the Company) may: 
 (i) consolidate with or merge with or into any Person; or

not paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed $50,000,000 (in excess of amounts which the Company’s insurance carriers have agreed to pay under applicable policies) during which a stay of enforcement, by reason of a pending appeal
or otherwise, is not in effect; 
 (7) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company or any
Significant Restricted Subsidiary with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it

Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guaranty; or 
 (10)(a) the Liens created by the Security
Agreements shall at any time not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of

enforceability thereof shall be contested by the Issuer or any Guarantor. 
 Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of
Default, other than a bankruptcy default with respect to the Company or the Issuer occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written
notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be immediately due and
payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will become immediately due and payable. If a bankruptcy default occurs with respect to the Company or the Issuer, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
the Notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in
clause (5) under Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5)
shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Debt, or the Debt that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if
(1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes
that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 
 (b) The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if: 
 (1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have
become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and 
  

 75 

 (2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its
own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture or to
foreclose on the Collateral (subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement). 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. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02, Section 6.07 and Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Trustee, waive an existing Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, the Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been
cured, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05.
Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to
the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or the
Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Indenture or the Notes, unless: 
 (1) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (2) Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture; 
  

 76 

 (3) Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5)
during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the right of a Holder of a Note to receive
payment of principal of or interest on its Note on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder;
provided that no Holder may institute any such suit (and shall promptly dismiss such suit upon written request by the Trustee or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes), if and to the extent that the institution or
prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver, or loss of the Lien of the Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of
Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and
overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. The Trustee may file 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 compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor or their respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to collect,
receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any 

  

 77 

 
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in the
Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10. Priorities. If the
Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article or receives any money from the Collateral Agent upon the realization of any Collateral, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for all amounts due hereunder; 
 Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of
any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest; and 
 Third: to the Issuer or as
a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee, upon written notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. 
 Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then, subject to any
determination in the proceeding, the Issuer, any Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer, any Guarantors, the
Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file
an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith
of the claims or defenses made by the party 

  

 78 

 
litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Note on the respective due dates, or a suit
by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No
right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right
or remedy. 
 Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will 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 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Guarantor covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer or the Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture. The Issuer and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage
of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 THE
TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01. General. (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee are as provided by the
Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article. 

 

 79 

 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need perform only those duties that
are specifically set forth in the Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those
rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of the Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its own willful misconduct. 
 Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a) through
(d): 
 (1) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, and will be protected in acting or
refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to
any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of the Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The
Trustee, in its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit. 
 (2) Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 12.04 and conforming to Section 12.05 and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. 
 (3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and
will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (4) The Trustee will be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
  

 80 

 (5) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture. 
 (6) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (7) No provision of the Indenture will require
the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense. 
 (8) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (9) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a responsible officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (10) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

 (12) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate setting forth the
names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6): 
 (a) “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days
after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and 
 (b) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing,
manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the
goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the
draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of the Indenture or the Notes, (ii) is not accountable for the Issuer’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (iii) is not responsible for any statement in the Notes other
than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs and is continuing and is known
to the Trustee, the Trustee will send notice of the Default to each Holder within 90 days after it occurs, unless the Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any
Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.
Notice to Holders under this Section will be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
  

 82 

 Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning
with May 15, 2010, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such May 15, if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a), and file such reports with
each stock exchange upon which the Notes are or may be listed and with the Commission, if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Company or the Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing when any Notes are listed on any national
securities exchange and of any delisting. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Issuer will pay the Trustee
compensation as agreed upon in writing for its services. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon written request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) The Issuer will indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage,
claim or expense incurred by it without negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Indenture and its duties under the Indenture and the Notes, including the
costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, a Guarantor, a Holder or any other Person) or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers or authorized signatories in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under the Indenture and the Notes. 
 (c) To secure the
Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, and
interest on particular Notes. 
 (d) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(7) or Section 6.01(8), the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive any termination or cancellation of
this Indenture. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a) (1) The Trustee may resign at any time by written notice
to the Issuer. 
  

 83 

 (2) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the
Trustee by written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer. 
 (3) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or in
the circumstances described in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any Holder that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (4) The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible
under Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as
provided in this Section 7.08. 
 (b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Issuer. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor
Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense
of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (c) Upon delivery by the successor Trustee
of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer, (i) the retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07,
(ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under the Indenture. Upon request of any successor Trustee, the
Issuer will execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The Issuer will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a
successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 (d) Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
  

 84 

 (e) The Trustee agrees to give the notices provided for in, and otherwise comply with, Trust Indenture
Act Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into,
or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act will be the
successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in the Indenture. 
 Section 7.10.
Eligibility. The Indenture must always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual
report of condition. 
 Section 7.11. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by
it except as it may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article 8.

 87 

 
in Sections 4.065 through 4.16 and Section 4.18, inclusive and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a)(iii), and each Guarantor’s (other than the

days after the date of the publication or notice) any remaining unclaimed balance of money will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look solely to the Issuer for payment, unless applicable law

order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations
under the Indenture and the Notes will be reinstated as though no such deposit in trust had been made. If the Issuer makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, it will be subrogated to
the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust. 
 ARTICLE 9

 AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 Section 9.01. Amendments Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes, or the
Security Agreements without notice to or the consent of any Noteholder: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency in the Indenture or the Notes; 
 (2) to comply with Article 5; 
 (3) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with any required qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act; 
 (4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment hereunder by a successor trustee;

 (5) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, provided that the
uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; 
 (6) to provide for any Guarantee of the Notes, to secure the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any
Guarantee of or Lien securing the Notes when such release, termination or discharge is permitted by the Indenture; 
 (7) to
conform any provision of the Indenture to the “Description of Notes” contained in the Offering Memorandum dated April 16, 2009 relating to the Notes; or 
 (8) to make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder. 
  

 89 

 In addition, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee are authorized to amend the Security
Agreements to comply with the provisions thereof and to add additional secured parties to the extent Liens securing Obligations held by such parties are permitted under the Indenture and that after so securing any such additional secured parties,
the amount of First-Priority Lien Obligations and Second-Priority Lien Obligations does not exceed the maximum amount set forth under the definition of “Permitted Liens.” 
 Section 9.02. Amendments With Consent of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.04 and 6.07 or paragraph (b), the
Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Agreements with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Issuer with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Security Agreements. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of or change the Stated Maturity of any installment of principal of any Note; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or change the Stated Maturity of any interest payment on any Note; 
 (3) reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time of an optional redemption, the times at which any Note
may be redeemed or, once notice of redemption has been given, the time at which it must thereupon be redeemed; 
 (4) after
the time an Offer to Purchase is required to have been made, reduce the purchase amount or purchase price, or extend the latest expiration date or purchase date thereunder; 
 (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; 
 (6) impair the right of any Holder of Notes to receive any principal payment or interest payment on such Holder’s Notes, on or after
the Stated Maturity thereof, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment; 
 (7) make any change in the
percentage of the principal amount of the Notes required for amendments or waivers; 
  

 90 

 (8) modify or change any provision of the Indenture affecting the ranking of the Notes or
any Note Guaranty in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; 
 (9) release all or substantially all of the Collateral;
or 
 (10) make any change in any Note Guaranty that would adversely affect the Noteholders. 
 (c) It is not necessary for Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their
consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become effective on receipt by the
Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer will send to the Holders affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Issuer will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.03. Effect of Consent. (a) After an
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected,
the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder. 
 (b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the
Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter
authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion. 
 Section 9.04. Trustee’s Rights and Obligations. The Trustee shall receive, and will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment,
supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by the Indenture. If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely
affect the rights of 

  

 91 

 
the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under the Indenture. 
 Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed
pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 9.06. Payments for Consents.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or
amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time
period set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTIES 
 Section 10.01. The Guaranties. Subject to the provisions of this Article, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, the full and punctual payment (whether at Stated Maturity, upon
redemption, purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts
payable by the Issuer under the Indenture. Upon failure by the Issuer to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the Indenture. 
 Section 10.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 
 (1) any extension, renewal,
settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Issuer under the Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise; 
 (2) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Indenture or any Note; 
 (3) any
change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Issuer, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or 

  

 92 

 
other similar proceeding affecting the Issuer or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Issuer contained in the Indenture
or any Note; 
 (4) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the
Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with the Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Issuer for any reason of the Indenture or any Note, or any provision of
applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Issuer of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture; or 
 (6) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance
whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
 Section 10.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other
amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made
at such time. 
 Section 10.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment,
demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other Person. 
 Section 10.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Issuer under this Article, the
Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in
the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes remains unpaid. 
  

 93 

 Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount
payable by the Issuer under the Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Indenture are nonetheless payable by the
Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders. 
 Section 10.07. Limitation on Amount of Guaranty.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a
fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state or foreign law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guaranty are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state or foreign law. 
 Section 10.08. Execution and Delivery of
Guaranty. The execution by each Guarantor of the Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds
that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guaranty set forth in the Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 
 Section 10.09. Release of Guaranty. The Note Guaranty of a Guarantor (other than the Company) will automatically terminate and be released
upon: 
 (1) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or
disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by the Indenture; 
 (2) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of obligations under the Senior Credit Facility or such other guarantee
that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee, provided that (a) the Senior Credit Facility is, after giving effect to such release, a Minimum Size Credit
Facility, (b) the aggregate fair market value of Collateral owned by Guarantors released pursuant to this clause (2) on and after the Issue Date (in each case measured at the date of release and as determined 

  

 94 

 
in good faith by the Board of Directors) after giving effect to any such release does not exceed 30% of the aggregate fair market value of the Collateral
immediately prior to such release and (c) the Collateral owned by Guarantors released pursuant to this clause (2) may not consist of substantially all of the Collateral relating to any facility, line of business or division that generated,
in the four quarters immediately prior to the proposed release thereof for which financial reports have been provided as required under the Indenture, more than 15% of the EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (3) the designation in accordance with the Indenture of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or

pursuant to its Note Guaranty are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS 
 Section 11.01. Security. (a) In order to secure the Obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes, the Issuer will execute and deliver to the Trustee on or prior to the Issue Date each Security Agreement to
which it is or is to be a party that is intended to be effective upon the Issue Date and create the Second-Priority Liens intended to be created thereunder, with the priority set forth therein and in the Intercreditor Agreement, on the Collateral.
In order to secure the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guaranty, the Indenture and the Notes, each Guarantor will execute and deliver to the Trustee on or prior to the Issue Date each Security Agreement to which it is or is to be a
party that is intended to be effective upon the Issue Date and create the Liens intended to be created thereunder, with the priority set forth therein and in the Intercreditor Agreement, on the Collateral. All such Liens shall be perfected within 30
days of the Issue Date, subject to clause (g) below. 
  

 95 

 (b) As soon as practicable after (and in any event within 10 Business Days) (i) any Restricted
Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor in accordance with Section 4.11 or (ii) the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any material property (other than Excluded Property) that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest under the
Security Agreements, the Issuer or Guarantor shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, in each case at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer or Guarantor, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such mortgages, security agreement
supplements and other documentation (in form and scope, and covering such Collateral (or, in the case of clause (i), all assets of such Guarantor other than Excluded Property) on such terms, in each case consistent with the mortgages, security
agreements and other security documents in effect on the Issue Date but subject to any local law requirements applicable thereto), and take such additional actions (including any of the actions described in Section 4.18), as the Collateral Agent may
deem reasonably appropriate or advisable to create and fully perfect in favor of the secured parties under the Security Agreements a valid and enforceable security interest in (and in the case of real property, mortgage lien on) such Collateral,
which shall be free of any other Liens except for Permitted Liens (including the First-Priority Liens). Any security interest provided pursuant to this Section 11.01(b) shall be accompanied with such Opinions of Counsel to the Issuer as customarily
given by Issuer’s counsel in the relevant jurisdiction, in form and substance customary for such jurisdiction. In addition, the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Collateral Agent certifying that the necessary measures
have been taken to perfect the security interest in such property. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) local law documentation, and
steps to ensure perfection, with respect to the pledges and security interests contemplated by this clause (b) will only be required by the Issuer and Guarantors located in the Collateral Jurisdictions and by other Guarantors for assets located
in the Collateral Jurisdictions; and (ii) assets need only be pledged to the extent that (A) the pledge is permitted by applicable law and contracts binding on the Company, the Issuer and the other Guarantors (but only to the extent that
the restrictions in such contracts, taken as a whole, do not materially limit the Collateral that would otherwise be pledged), (B) no material adverse tax consequence would result therefrom (as determined reasonably by the Board of Directors)
and (C) the cost to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of providing such pledge (or perfection thereof) would not be excessive in view of the related benefits to be received by the Holders (as determined reasonably by the Board of
Directors); provided that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be required to execute such local law documentation, and pledge such assets to the extent that the Issuer and the Guarantors execute such documentation or pledge such assets for the
benefit of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility. Assets that are not subject to perfected security interests pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph are referred to as “Excluded Property.” 
  

 96 

 (c) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall comply with all covenants and agreements contained in the
Security Agreements. 
 (d) Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to all of the terms and provisions of the Security Agreements, as the
same may be amended from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture and the Security Agreements. 
 (e) As among the Holders,
the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders without preference, priority or distinction of any thereof over any other by reason of differences in time of issuance, sale or otherwise,
as security for the Obligations under the Indenture and the Notes. 
 (f) To the extent applicable, the Issuer will comply with
Section 314(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, relating to annual opinions as to the validity of the Liens securing the Notes, but shall not be subject to Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act, relating to the delivery of certain
certificates and reports in connection with the release of property and to the substitution therefor of any property to be pledged as Collateral for the Notes. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the initial grant of Second-Priority Liens required pursuant to clause (a), and future grants of Second-Priority Liens pursuant to clause (b), shall not
be required to be granted until such time as the assets subject thereto are required to have become collateral security under the Senior Credit Facility (taking into account any waivers or extensions granted by the lenders thereunder);
provided that the Senior Credit Facility is a Minimum Size Credit Facility. If the Senior Credit Facility is not a Minimum Size Credit Facility, then required grants of Second-Priority Liens shall be required to be made within the time
periods specified above. 
 Section 11.02. Authorization of Actions to Be Taken. (a) Each Holder of a Note, by its
acceptance thereof, is deemed to have authorized, directed and empowered the Trustee to enter into the Security Agreements, whether as Trustee or Collateral Agent, and to receive for the benefit of the Holders of Notes any funds collected or
distributed under the Security Agreements to which the Trustee is a party and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture. If, at any time the Intercreditor Agreement ceases to be
in effect (or with respect to a portion of the Collateral) because the First-Priority Lien Obligations are no longer outstanding or no longer secured by Liens on all or a portion of the Collateral and, thereafter, the Issuer or any Guarantor
subsequently incurs Obligations under a new Credit Facility or other Obligations that are to be secured by first-priority liens on assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor of the type constituting Collateral (which first-priority basis is permitted
under the Indenture), the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized, directed and empowered to enter into a new intercreditor 

  

 97 

 
agreement that provides the representative under such Credit Facility or other Obligations substantially the same rights and powers as afforded under the
Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Article 7 and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, in its sole discretion
and without the consent of the Holders of Notes, may, or at the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Trustee shall, direct on behalf of the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Agent to take all
actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 
 (i) during the existence of an Event of Default, foreclose upon and
take possession of all Collateral pursuant to, or take any other action to enforce, the provisions of the Security Agreements; 
 (ii) enforce any of the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Agreements to which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is a party; or 
 (iii) collect and receive payment of all obligations in respect of the Notes, the Note Guaranties and the Indenture. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and Article 7, the Trustee is authorized and empowered to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as
it may deem expedient to protect or enforce the Liens on the Collateral or the other rights under the Security Agreements to which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be
unlawful or in violation of such Security Agreements or the Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral,
including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of,
or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Liens or other rights under such Security Agreements or hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders or the Trustee. 
 Section 11.03. Determinations Relating to Collateral. In the event (i) the Trustee shall receive any written request from the Issuer, a
Guarantor or the Collateral Agent under any Security Agreement for consent or approval with respect to any matter or thing relating to any Collateral or the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (ii) there
shall be due to or from the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the provisions of any Security Agreement any material performance or the delivery of any material instrument or (iii) the Trustee shall become aware of any nonperformance by the
Issuer or a Guarantor 

  

 98 

 
of any covenant or any breach of any representation or warranty of the Issuer or such Guarantor set forth in any Security Agreement, then, in each such
event, the Trustee shall be entitled to hire experts, consultants, agents and attorneys to advise the Trustee on the manner in which the Trustee should respond, or direct the Collateral Agent to respond, to such request or render any requested
performance or respond, or direct the Collateral Agent to respond, to such nonperformance or breach; provided that the Trustee’s right to direct the Collateral Agent to respond shall be subject to the terms of the Security Agreements.
The Trustee shall be fully protected in the taking of any action recommended or approved by any such expert, consultant, agent or attorney or agreed to by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 Section 11.04. Release of Liens. (a) The Second-Priority Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will be automatically released:

 (i) in respect of any Collateral owned by a Guarantor whose Note Guaranty was released pursuant to Section 10.09, upon
the release of such Note Guaranty of such Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.09; 
 (ii) upon discharge or defeasance of
the Notes as set forth under Article 8 hereof; 
 (iii) upon payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations
on the Notes issued hereunder; 
 (iv) with the consent of the requisite holders of the Notes in accordance with the
provisions under Article 9, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes; 
 (v) in connection with any disposition of Collateral to any Person other than the Company, the Issuer or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries (but excluding any transaction subject to Article 5 where the recipient is required to become the obligor on the Notes or a Guarantor) that is permitted hereunder (with respect to the Lien on such Collateral), 
 (vi) upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral pursuant to the exercise of any rights and remedies by the Administrative Agent with
respect to any Collateral securing the First-Priority Lien Obligations or the commencement or prosecution of enforcement by the holders of First-Priority Lien Obligations of any of the rights and remedies under the First-Priority Documents or
applicable law, including without limitation the exercise of any rights of set-off or recoupment (an “Enforcement Action”); and 
  

 99 

 (vii) other than in connection with an Enforcement Action, upon the release or discharge
of the First-Priority Liens securing obligations under the Senior Credit Facility or any guarantees thereof on any Collateral (with respect to the Lien on such Collateral); provided that (i) the Senior Credit Facility is a Minimum Size
Credit Facility, (ii) the aggregate fair market value of Collateral released pursuant to this clause (vii) on and after the Issue Date (in each case measured at the date of release and as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors)
after giving effect to any such release does not exceed 30% of the aggregate fair market value of the Collateral immediately prior to such release and (iii) the Collateral released pursuant to this clause (vii) may not consist of substantially
all of the Collateral relating to any facility, line of business or division that generated, in the four quarters immediately prior to the proposed release thereof for which financial reports have been provided as required under the Indenture, more
than 15% of EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b) Upon delivery to the Trustee by the Company or the Issuer of an
Officers’ Certificate requesting execution of an instrument confirming the release of the Liens pursuant to Section 11.04(a), accompanied by: 
 (i) an Opinion of Counsel confirming that such release is permitted by Section 11.04(a); 
 (ii) all instruments requested by the Issuer to effectuate or confirm such release; and 
 (iii) such other
certificates and documents as the Trustee may reasonably request to confirm the matters set forth in Section 11.04(a), 
 the Trustee will, if such
instruments and confirmation are reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, promptly execute and deliver, such instruments. 
 (c) All
instruments effectuating or confirming any release of any Liens will have the effect solely of releasing such Liens as to the Collateral described therein, on customary terms and without any recourse, representation, warranty or liability
whatsoever. 
 (d) The Issuer will bear and pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with any release of Liens pursuant to this
Section 11.04(a), including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys or representatives acting for the Trustee or for the Collateral Agent. 
  

 100 

 Section 11.05. Agreement for the Benefit of Holders of First-Priority Liens. The Trustee and
each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note agrees, that: 
 (a) The Liens on the Collateral are, to the extent and in the manner provided in
the Intercreditor Agreement, subject to and subordinate in ranking to all present and future Liens on the Collateral with a first priority; and the Intercreditor Agreement will be enforceable by the holders of such First-Priority Liens, for the
benefit of the holders of Obligations secured thereby, until the satisfaction pursuant to the terms thereof of all such Obligations outstanding at the time of such release. 
 (b) Without the necessity of any consent of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations may change, waive,
modify or vary any Security Agreement relating to Collateral, subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall be given prompt written notice of any such change, waiver, modification or
variance. 
 (c) As among the Administrative Agent under the Senior Credit Facility, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the holders
of the First-Priority Lien Obligations, the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations and the Administrative Agent under the Senior Credit Facility will have the sole ability to control and obtain remedies with respect to all Collateral without
the necessity of any consent or of any notice to the Trustee, or any such Holder, subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 Section 11.06. Notes and Note Guaranties Not Subordinated. The provisions of Section 11.05 are intended solely to set forth the relative ranking, as Liens, of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes
and the Note Guaranties as against the Liens on the Collateral securing the First-Priority Lien Obligations. The Notes and the Note Guaranties are senior unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors. Neither the Notes and the Note
Guaranties nor the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy for the payment or collection thereof (other than the exercise of rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, which are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) are intended to
be, or will ever be by reason of the provisions of Section 11.05, in any respect subordinated, deferred, postponed, restricted or prejudiced. 
 Section 11.07. Limitation on Duty of Trustee in Respect of Collateral. (a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or
in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation
statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded 

  

 101 

 
treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any
of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith. 
 (b) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on any of the Collateral, whether
impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or
sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer or the Guarantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens
upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or any of the Security Agreements.

accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (b)(1) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent to amendment, supplement or waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a Holder (an “act”) may be evidenced by an

 102 

 (2) The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders, which
will be binding on all the Holders. 
 (c) Any act by the Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note that
evidences the same debt as the Note of the acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note. Subject to paragraph (d), a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes, but only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the

during the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Trustee may set a record date as to notices of default, any declaration or acceleration or any other remedies or other consequences of the Event of Default. If a record date is fixed, those

 (c) Where the Indenture provides for
notice, the notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and the waiver will be the equivalent of the notice. Waivers of notice by Holders must be filed with the Trustee, but such
filing is not a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waivers. 
 Section 12.04. Certificate

Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and 
  

 104 

 (2) an Opinion of Counsel stating that all such conditions precedent have been complied
with, provided, however, that no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be furnished in connection with the issuance of the Notes on the Issue Date.

fixed for redemption or purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business Day, then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date, and no
interest will accrue for the intervening period. 
 Section 12.07. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Indenture, including
any Note Guaranties, and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Each of the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, including any Note Guaranties, the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby.

agreements of the Trustee in the Indenture will bind its successor. 
 Section 12.10. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign
any number of copies of the Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall

original signatures for all purposes. 
 Section 12.11. Separability. In case any provision in the Indenture or in the Notes is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 12.12. Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and Sections of the Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only,
are not to be considered a part of the Indenture and in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. 
 Section 12.13. No Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators, Members and Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, any Note Guaranty or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a
Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 Section 12.14. Consent to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees that: 
 (a) Any suit, action or proceeding against the Issuer or any Guarantor arising out of or relating to the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Agreements
may be instituted in any state or U.S. Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and 

  

 106 

 
the Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer and each
Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Agreements, including such actions, suits or
proceedings relating to the securities laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. The final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer or any Guarantor and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer or any
Guarantor is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Issuer or any Guarantor in the manner provided by this Section 12.14. 
 (b) The Issuer and each Non-U.S. Guarantor has appointed Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc. as its Authorized Agent, upon whom process may be served
in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any state or U.S. Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and
expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc. has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process.
Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Issuer and any Non-U.S. Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action involving the Issuer or any Non-U.S. Guarantor arising
out of or relating to the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Agreements may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 
 The provisions of this Section 12.14 shall survive any termination or cancellation of the Indenture. 
 Section 12.15. Force
Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without
limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and
hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
  

 107 

 Section 12.16. U.S.A. PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with
Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee 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 to this
Indenture 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. 
 Section 12.17. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties
hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New
York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Issuer and each Guarantor with respect to any sum due from it to the Trustee and the Holders shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than
United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by the Trustee or the Holders of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that the Trustee may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Trustee or the Holders, the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to the extent permitted by
law, agree as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Trustee and such Holders against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Trustee or the Holders,
the Trustee and the Holders hereby agrees to pay to the Issuer an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such person.

Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

 J-1U.S. Guarantee Agreement

 EXHIBIT NO. 10.1 
 U.S. GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of April 29, 2009 (this “Agreement”), among SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY, an exempted
limited liability company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Intermediate Holdings”), SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY HDD HOLDINGS, an exempted limited liability company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the
“Borrower”), each of the subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary individually, a “Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”; and each such Subsidiary,
the Borrower and Intermediate Holdings, individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below). 
 Reference is made to the Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 3, 2009 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Intermediate Holdings, the lenders from time to time party
thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 
 The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower,
pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of Intermediate Holdings and each Subsidiary acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders and
the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a
Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement. 
 Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. 

 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Obligation of
any U.S. Loan Party shall be required to be Guaranteed by any CFC Subsidiary or any Qualified CFC Holding Company, in each case of any U.S. Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the
Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or
otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver (except the effect of any waiver obtained pursuant to Section 12(b)), amendment or modification of, or any release from any terms or provisions of any other Loan Document, any other Guarantee or any
other agreement (in each case pursuant to the terms thereof), including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. 
 SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative
Agent and each of the other Secured Parties to (a) take and hold security for the payment of its guarantee hereunder and the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the
order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other Guarantors or other obligors. 
 SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due
and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the
books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person. 
 SECTION 5. No
Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Loan Document
Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or 

  

 2 

 
modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or the failure to
perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of
any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Loan Document Obligations). 
 SECTION 6. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or
arising out of any defense of the Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, other than the final payment in full in cash of all the Loan
Document Obligations (or, in the case of an action seeking payment of less than all the Loan Document Obligations, payment in full in cash of the portion of the Loan Document Obligations sought in such action). The Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the
Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent all the Loan Document Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to
applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any security. 
 SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of
such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or such other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of
right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Loan Document Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously
be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be
credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. 
  

 3 

 SECTION 8. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs
hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. 
 SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties
relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects. 
 SECTION 10. Termination.
The guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Loan Document Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have expired or been terminated, the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable under the
Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated (or otherwise provided for in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) and all LC Disbursements shall have been reimbursed and
(b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise. In the event that any Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary (as such term is used in the Credit Agreement) pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor shall
be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. Upon the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10, and at the sole expense of such Guarantor, the Administrative
Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. 
 SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all
covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as
to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be
binding upon such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns,
except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any such attempted assignment without such consent shall be void). This
Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the
obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder. 
  

 4 

 SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent
in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written
agreement entered into between the Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Administrative Agent, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in
Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Guarantor shall be given to it at its address or telecopy number set forth in Schedule I hereto, with a copy to the Borrower. 
 SECTION 15. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors
herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf and notwithstanding that
any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect until all the Loan Document
Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have expired or been terminated, the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable under any Loan Document shall have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit shall have
expired or been terminated (or otherwise provided for in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) and all LC Disbursements shall have been reimbursed. 
  

 5 

 (b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood
that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 11. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or
Adobe .pdf transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 17. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 18. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
  

 6 

 (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided
for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Guarantor hereby appoints Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc. as its agent
for service of process in the United States and Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc. hereby accepts such appointment. 
 SECTION 19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19. 
 SECTION 20. Additional
Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement and the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, certain Subsidiaries formed or acquired after the Second Restatement Effective Date are required to execute a Guarantee Agreement.
Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if
originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 21. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of
any Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Guarantor then existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. The applicable Secured 

  

 7 

 
Party shall notify Intermediate Holdings and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay
in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 21. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 21 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including any other rights
of setoff) that such Secured Party may have. 
 SECTION 22. Termination of 2006 Guarantee Agreement. Upon the effectiveness
of this Agreement, the U.S. Guarantee Agreement dated as of September 19, 2006, among Seagate Technology, Seagate Technology HDD Holdings and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall be terminated in its entirety and shall be superseded and replaced by
the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 23. Tax Indemnification. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of
Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, insofar as any provision of such Section applies to any Loan Party.

 Annex 1 to the 
 U.S. Guarantee Agreement 
 SUPPLEMENT NO. [    ] dated as of
[        ] (this “Supplement”), to the U.S. Guarantee Agreement dated as of April 29, 2009 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“U.S. Guarantee Agreement”), among SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY, an exempted limited liability company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Intermediate Holdings”), SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY HDD HOLDINGS, an exempted
limited liability company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Borrower”), each of the subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto (each such subsidiary individually, a “Subsidiary”
and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”; and each such Subsidiary, the Borrower and Intermediate Holdings, individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE
BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below). 
 A. Reference is made to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 3, 2009 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Intermediate Holdings, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent. 
 B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the U.S. Guarantee Agreement and the
Credit Agreement. 
 C. The Guarantors have entered into the U.S. Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the
Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement and the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, certain Subsidiaries formed or acquired after the Second Restatement Effective Date are required to execute
a Guarantee Agreement. Section 20 of the U.S. Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Guarantors under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The
undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make
additional Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued. 

 Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 20 of the U.S. Guarantee Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the U.S.
Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the U.S. Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder
and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent a representation and warranty expressly relates solely to a
specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct on such date. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the U.S. Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The U.S. Guarantee
Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
 SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and
the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 
 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of the New Guarantor and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or Adobe .pdf transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Supplement.

 SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the U.S. Guarantee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the U.S. Guarantee Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision hereof in
a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 14 of the U.S. Guarantee Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Guarantor shall be given to it at the
address set forth under its signature below, with a copy to the Borrower. 
  

 2 

 SECTION 8. The New Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses
in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Administrative Agent (but subject to Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement).
