 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Indenture and the Issuer, Holdings, Am-Pac and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the
express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 The Notes shall be

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer of the Issuer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer
by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer of the Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the
time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A, by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated

“Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount or amounts specified in such Authentication Order. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of

 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain
(i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes. The Issuer may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent.
The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain
another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall, to the extent that it is capable, act as such. The Issuer or any of its domestic Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes
representing the Notes. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar for the Notes and to act as
Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

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

 (h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global
Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive
Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14, and 9.05 hereof). 

(iii) The Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection or (B) to register the transfer of or to
exchange a Note between a Record Date with respect to such Note and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note. 

(iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (v) All
Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may
deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the

Section 2.07 Replacement Note. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuer, and
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the
Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any
authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. The Notes
outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a
Guarantor holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it
ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor)
holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to
accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount
of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the
pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a
Guarantor. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer
may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for
temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

 

 - 50 - 

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

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE 3

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed in an offer to purchase at
any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on an exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such exchange or (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is
not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method the Trustee shall deem appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such
Holder shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, the Issuer shall deliver electronically or mail or
caused to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in
accordance with Applicable Procedures, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof. Except as set forth in Section 3.07
hereof, notices of redemption may not be conditional. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

 (a) the Redemption Date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) if any Definitive Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and
that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed shall be issued in the name of
the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

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

(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the Redemption Date; 
  

 - 52 - 

 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to
which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (h) the CUSIP and ISIN number, if any, printed on the Notes being
redeemed and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and ISIN number that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 

(i) if in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, any condition to such redemption. 

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense;
provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall
be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

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

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof,
Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date, unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event, at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

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

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

 - 53 - 

 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is
redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the
extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, only an
Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the

 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date
such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such
refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to
have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (A) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (B) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and
other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing. 
  

 - 74 - 

 The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if
incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such
refinancing. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor
to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is
expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the
case may be. 
 This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness
merely because it is unsecured or (2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 

Section 4.10 Asset Sales. 

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

(i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at
least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined by the Issuer at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in
the footnotes thereto) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer and all of its Restricted
Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing;
 (B) any securities, notes or other
obligations or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days
following the closing of such Asset Sale; and 
 (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer
or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 3.25% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time
received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose. 

 

 - 75 - 

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

 (A) Obligations under Senior Indebtedness; or 

(B) Obligations under the Notes and any other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness on a pro rata basis; provided that
all reductions of or offers to reduce Obligations under the Notes shall be made as provided under Section 3.07 or through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100.0% of the principal amount thereof) or by making
an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 and Section 4.10(d) hereof) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on
the amount of Notes to be repurchased; or 
 (C) If the assets subject of such Asset Sale are property or assets
of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to permanently reduce Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; or 

(ii) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is
in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary,
(B) capital expenditures or (C) acquisitions of other assets, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Similar Business; or 

(iii) to make an Investment in (A) any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business
is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary,
(B) properties or (C) acquisitions of other assets that, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; 

provided that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a binding commitment entered into not later than such 450th
day shall extend the period for such Investment or other payment for an additional 180 days after the end of such 450-day period so long as the Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation
that such Net Proceeds shall be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before
the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within such 180-day period; provided, further, that
(x) if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied or (y) such Net Proceeds are not actually so invested or paid in accordance with clauses (ii) or (iii) above by the
end of such 180-day period, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds on the date of such cancellation or termination, or such 180th day, as applicable. 

(c) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in
Section 4.10(b) hereof shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds .” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to 

 

 - 76 - 

 
all Holders and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an
“Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price
in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Indenture. The Issuer shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $20.0 million by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture,
with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 450 days (or
such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $20.0 million or less. 
 To the extent that the
aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants
contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuer shall select such
Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with adjustments as needed for selection of authorized minimum denominations) based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon
completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero. 

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such
Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

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

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

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

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

 

 - 77 - 

 (ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate
Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $15.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and
set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) of this Section 4.11(a). 

(b) The provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof shall not apply to the following: 

(i) transactions between or among the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any entity that becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of such transaction; 
 (ii) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07 hereof and
the definition of “Permitted Investments”; 
 (iii) the payment of management, consulting, monitoring,
advisory and other fees and related expenses (including indemnification and other similar amounts) pursuant to the Management Fee Agreement (plus any unpaid management, consulting, monitoring, advisory and other fees and related expenses (including
indemnification and similar amounts) accrued in any prior year) and the termination fees pursuant to the Management Fee Agreement, or, in each case, any amendment thereto so long as any such amendment is not materially disadvantageous in the good
faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole, as compared to the Management Fee Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 

(iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid to, and indemnities and reimbursements and
employment and severance arrangements provided on behalf of or for the benefit of, current or former employees, directors, officers, managers, distributors or consultants of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (v) transactions in which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the
case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less
favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; 

(vi) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not
disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date); 

(vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under
the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided
that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be
permitted by this clause (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when
taken as a whole; 
  

 - 78 - 

 (viii) the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to
the Transactions, including Transaction Expenses; 
 (ix) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers,

Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the board of directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

 (x) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to any direct or indirect

directors of the Issuer in good faith;

management or employee benefit plan or agreement or any stock subscription or shareholder agreement; and any employment agreements, stock option plans and other compensatory arrangements (and any successor plans thereto) and any supplemental
executive retirement benefit plans or arrangements with any such employees, directors, officers, managers or consultants (or their respective Controlled Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family Members) that are, in each case, approved by the
Issuer in good faith; 
 (xiv) investments by any of the Investors in securities of the Issuer or any of its

(B) the investment constitutes less than 5.0% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities; 

(xv) payments to or from, and transactions with, any joint venture in the ordinary course of business (including, without
limitation, any cash management activities related thereto); 
 (xvi) payments by the Issuer (and any direct or
indirect parent company thereof) and its Subsidiaries pursuant to tax sharing agreements among the Issuer (and any such parent company) and its Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not
exceed the amount that the Issuer, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted 
  

 - 79 - 

 
Subsidiaries (to the extent of amount received from Unrestricted Subsidiaries) would be required to pay in respect of foreign, federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were the Issuer,

(xvii) any lease entered into between the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as lessee, and any Affiliate of the Issuer,

Section 4.12 Liens. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor ranking pari passu with or subordinated to the Notes or any related guarantee of Indebtedness, on any asset or
property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless: 
  

	 	(1)	in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in
priority to such Liens; or 

  

	 	(2)	in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (a) Liens securing the Notes and the
related Guarantees and (b) Liens securing Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor. 

 (b) Any Lien
created for the benefit of Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and

 Section 4.13 Company Existence. Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its company existence (for the avoidance of doubt the Issuer may convert into a limited liability company; provided that there is a corporate co-issuer entity),
and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); provided that the
Issuer shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Issuer in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.14 Offer to
Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer shall
make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of
Control, the Issuer shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Security Register or otherwise in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures with the following information: 
 (a) that a Change of Control Offer is being made
pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer shall be accepted for payment by the Issuer; 
  

 - 80 - 

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

(e) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender such Notes,
with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day
preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (f) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their
election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes, provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission, electronic transmission or
letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(g) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes and such new Notes shall be equal in principal
amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; 

(h) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional
on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (i) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with
this Section 4.14 that a Holder must follow. 
 The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have
been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s
failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of
Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described
in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
  

 - 81 - 

 (j) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law:

 (i) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment
in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and 
 (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. 

(k) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer. 
 (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in
advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(m) In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited by the terms of any Senior Indebtedness from
purchasing Notes, then notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Issuer (x) shall have 30 days following the Change of Control to mail the notice of a Change of Control to holders of Notes, and (y) shall
undertake, within 30 days following any Change of Control, to (1) repay in full all Obligations, and terminate all commitments, under the ABL Facility and all other Senior Indebtedness, the terms of which require repayment and/or termination of
commitments upon a Change of Control or offer to repay in full all Obligations, and terminate all commitments, under the ABL Facility and all other such Senior Indebtedness and to repay the Obligations owed to (and terminate all commitments of) each
lender which has accepted such offer or (2) obtain the requisite consents under the agreements governing such Senior Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes. If such a consent is not obtained or borrowings repaid, the Issuer shall
remain prohibited from purchasing the Notes. The Issuer shall first comply with this clause (m) before it shall be required to repurchase Notes pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4.14. The Issuer’s failure to comply with
this clause (m) may (with notice and lapse of time) constitute an Event of Default described in clause (3) of Section 6.01 hereof, but shall not constitute an Event of Default described in clause (1) of Section 6.01 hereof.

 (n) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06, hereof, and references therein to “redeem,” “redemption” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to “purchase,” “repurchase” and similar
words, as applicable. 
 The provisions of this Section 4.14, and the definition of “Change of Control,” may be
waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

Section 4.15 Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall not permit any of its
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor), other than a Subsidiary
Guarantor, a Foreign 
  

 - 82 - 

 
Subsidiary (except any Foreign Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer under the ABL Facility) or a Securitization Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of
the Issuer or any other Guarantor unless: 
 (a) such Restricted Subsidiary, within 30 days after the guarantee of such
Indebtedness, executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of
the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such
Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; and 

(b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of
reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; 

provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person
became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) guarantees of any Qualified Securitization Facility by any Restricted Subsidiary. The Issuer
may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 30 day period described in clause
(1) above. 
 Section 4.16 Limitation on Layering. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Indebtedness) that is subordinate in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is either: 

 

	 	(1)	equal in right of payment with the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes, as the case may be; or 

 

	 	(2)	expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes, as the case may be. 

(b) For the purposes of this Indenture, Indebtedness that is unsecured shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured
Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral regardless of
whether such lien subordination is effective notwithstanding the validity or enforceability of the Liens on such collateral. 

Section 4.17 Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly,
pay or cause to be paid any cash consideration to any Holder for any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered and is paid to all Holders that are QIBs that so
consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

(iii) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in the
United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 

(c) Subject to Section 11.06 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall, and the Issuer shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to,
consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or
more related transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (i) (A) such Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person formed by
or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor, as applicable, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such surviving Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein
called the “Successor Person”); 
 (B) the Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor,
expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and such Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in a form reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee; 
 (C) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists; and

with which the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, is merged or to 
  

 - 85 - 

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

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01 Events of Default. 

An “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event
of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both: 

(i) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity

(net of amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable insurance companies), which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such

group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under
Section 4.03); 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(h) the Guarantee of Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the 
  

 - 87 - 

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

Section 6.02 Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than a type specified in clause (f) or (g) of
Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Requisite Holders may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and
payable immediately; provided, however, that so long as any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 of this Indenture as part of Senior Credit Facilities shall be outstanding, no such acceleration shall be
effective until the earlier of: 
 (1) acceleration of any such Indebtedness under Senior Credit Facilities; or 

(2) five Business Days after the giving of written notice of such acceleration to the Issuer and the Representative under Senior Credit
Facilities. 
 Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest shall be due and
payable immediately. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (f) or
(g) of Section 6.01 hereof, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment
of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the
best interests of the Holders. 
 The Requisite Holders by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders rescind any
acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences under this Indenture except if such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of interest
on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (d) of Section 6.01 hereof, such Event of Default and all consequences
thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of
Default arose: 
 (a) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or

 (b) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such
Event of Default; or 
 (c) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 

 

 - 88 - 

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Requisite Holders by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder (except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder)
(including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Requisite Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with
respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of
Default is continuing; 
 (b) the Requisite Holders have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(c) the Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee; 
 (d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of
security or indemnity; and 
 (e) the Requisite Holders have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request
within such 60-day period. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a
Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on
overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel. 
  

 - 89 - 

 Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 
 Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies
Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed
in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee,
and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and
other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in
any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.13 Priorities. If the Trustee or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant
to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 (a) to the Trustee, such Agent, their agents and
attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or such Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 

 

 - 90 - 

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

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

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

Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not investigate or confirm the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 
  

 - 91 - 

 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 6.05 hereof. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. 

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of
any of the Holders unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee 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. 

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any 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 the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine
to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no
liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or
refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be
sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer. 
 (f) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 
  

 - 92 - 

 (g) 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, and such notice references the Notes and this
Indenture. 
 (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, 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. 

(i) 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. 

(j) Delivery of reports, information and documents (including without limitation reports contemplated under Section 4.03 hereof) to
the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 

(k) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so
specified herein. 
 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 any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must
eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it
shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in
connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
deliver to Holders a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any
continuing Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following
the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in
Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also
transmit by mail all reports as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
  

 - 93 - 

 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the
Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted
therefrom. 
 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally,
shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or
expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or
any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in connective with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer
of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 The
obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the
Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or
Section 6.01(g)hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall
become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof or Trust Indenture Act Section 310; 

 

 - 94 - 

 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, at the expense of the Issuer, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply
with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that
has, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5).
The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Issuer. The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust
Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

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

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

(a) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such
payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (b) the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in
trust; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’
obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Section 8.02. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its
option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 hereof, clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01(a), Section 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) and Article 13 hereof with respect
to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Notes may not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, 
  

 - 96 - 

 
by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) (solely with respect to the
covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(g) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(h) and 6.01(i) hereof
shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following
shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 
 In order to
exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes: 
 (a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit
with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the
Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date, provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for
purpose of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as the date of redemption (any such amount, the
“Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee
simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption (it being understood that any defeasance shall be subject to the condition subsequent that
such deficit is in fact paid); 
 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 

(i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

 (ii) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c)
in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders and beneficial owners of the
Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
  

 - 97 - 

 (d) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such
deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

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

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject
to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 

(g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with
the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and 
 (h)
the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or
relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05
Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government
Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the
request of the Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

  

 - 98 - 

 Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer. Subject to any applicable abandoned property
law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and
premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

Section 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s
and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent
is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee
may amend or supplement this Indenture, any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity,
omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 
 (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes; 
 (c) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof; 

(d) to provide the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders; 

(e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal
rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (f) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right
or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; 
 (g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance
and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee hereunder pursuant to the requirements hereof; 
 (i) to provide for
the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are not freely transferable; 
  

 - 99 - 

 (j) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture; 

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

(l) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this
Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes. 

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall have the right, but not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture
that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor
under this Indenture (other than as required by Section 4.15 hereof) upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto. 

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with
a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for Notes, and, subject to Section 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are
considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer
accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid,
the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  

 - 100 - 

 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of
any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or
waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the
principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the principal of
or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 and Section 4.14
hereof are not redemptions of the Notes); 
 (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

 (d) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of
acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture
or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders; 
 (e) make any Note payable in money
other than that stated therein; 
 (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults
or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; 
 (g) make any
change in these amendment and waiver provisions; 
 (h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; 

(i) make any change in the subordination provisions of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or 

(j) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary in any manner
materially adverse to the Holders. 
 No amendment to or waiver of (i) the subordination provisions of this Indenture (or
the component definitions used therein) that are adverse to the lenders under Senior Credit Facilities or (ii) this sentence may be made without the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the ABL Facility) and the holders of a majority
of the other Indebtedness in respect of Senior Credit Facilities of the Issuer and the Guarantors (or their Representative(s)). Each holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this paragraph. 

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall
be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies in all material respects with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
  

 - 101 - 

 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if
notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or
amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to
such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date
unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 
 Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of
Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a
new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.06 Trustee to
Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The
Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the board of directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be provided with, upon request, and (subject to Section 7.01
hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture
is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to
customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate shall be required (other than as required by
Section 4.15 hereof) for the Trustee to execute any a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 

ARTICLE 10 

SUBORDINATION 

Section 10.01 Agreement to Subordinate. 

The Issuer agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of all Obligations owing in respect of the Notes is
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable
by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Notes shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all 

 

 - 102 - 

 
existing and future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer, and shall be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer; and only
Indebtedness of the Issuer that is Senior Indebtedness shall rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 10 shall be subject to Section 10.12. 

Section 10.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. 

Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Issuer upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution or receivership,
arrangement, reorganization, insolvency or bankruptcy or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer or its property or assets: 
  

	 	(i)	the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness before Holders shall be entitled to
receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character with respect to any Obligations on, or relating to the Notes; 

  

	 	(ii)	until the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is paid in full in cash and all commitments to extend credit under Senior Indebtedness have been terminated, any payment or
distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of this Indenture shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Holder, except
that Holders may receive Permitted Junior Securities; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if a distribution is made to Holders that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to them, such Holders are required to hold it in trust for the
holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and pay it over to them on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Holder. 

In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar proceedings relative to the Issuer, if any Holder
has not filed any claim, proof of claim or other instrument of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes held by such Holder within 15 days before the expiration of the time to file the same, then and in
such event, but only in such event, the Representatives under any Designated Senior Indebtedness may, as an attorney-in-fact for such Holder, file any claim, proof of claim or such other instrument of similar character on behalf of such Holder, and
such Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of such Holder’s Note, appoints each such Representative of Designated Senior Indebtedness as an attorney-in-fact for such Holder, to so file any claim, proof of claim or such other instrument of
similar character. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall nevertheless retain all rights to enforce and to vote such claim, proof of claim or other instrument in its capacity as the Holder. 

Section 10.03 Default on Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer. 

The Issuer shall not pay, directly or indirectly, principal (including any accretion) of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (or
pay any other Obligations relating to the Notes, including fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and rescission or damage claims) or make any deposit pursuant to Article 8 or Article 13 hereof and may not purchase, redeem or otherwise retire or acquire
for cash or property any Notes (collectively, “pay the Notes”) (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) if either of the following occurs (a “Payment Default”): 

 

	 	(i)	any Obligation on any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is not paid in full in cash when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period); or

  

 - 103 - 

	 	(ii)	any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its
terms; 

 unless, in either case, the Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or
such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash and all commitments to extend credit under the Designated Senior Indebtedness have been terminated. Regardless of the foregoing, the Issuer is permitted to pay the Notes if the Issuer
and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representatives of all Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing. 

During the continuance of any default other than a Payment Default (a “Non-Payment Default”) with respect to any
Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the
Issuer is not permitted to pay the Notes (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer) of written notice (a
“Blockage Notice”) of such Non-Payment Default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. So long as there shall remain
outstanding any Senior Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, a Blockage Notice may be given only by the respective Representatives thereunder unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the requisite lenders named therein. The Payment
Blockage Period shall end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice; (ii) because the default giving rise to such
Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing in accordance with the applicable documents evidencing or related to such Designated Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) because such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been
discharged or repaid in full in cash and all commitments to extend credit under the Designated Senior Indebtedness have been terminated. 

Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding two sentences (but subject to the provisions contained in the first
sentence of this Section 10.03 and Section 10.02 hereof), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness or a Payment Default otherwise exists, the Issuer is permitted to resume paying the Notes after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. The Notes shall not be subject to more than one Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day
period irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer during such period; provided that if any Blockage Notice is delivered to the Trustee by or on behalf of the holders of Designated Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than the holders of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility), a Representative of holders of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility may in the aggregate give one other Blockage Notice within such period. However, in no
event shall the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods on the Notes is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 360 day period, and there must be at least 181 days during any consecutive 360
day period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a
subsequent Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been waived for a period of not less than 90 days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants during the period after the date of delivery of a
Blockage Notice, that, in either case, would give rise to a Non-Payment Default pursuant to any provisions under which a Non-Payment Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new Non-Payment Default for this purpose).

  

 - 104 - 

 Section 10.04 Acceleration of Payment of Notes. 

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated
Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 10. If any Designated
Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is outstanding, the Issuer may not pay the Notes until five Business Days after the Representatives of all the issuers of such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may
pay the Notes only if this Indenture otherwise permits payment at that time. 
 Section 10.05 When Distribution Must Be
Paid Over. 
 If a distribution is made to Holders that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to
them, such Holders are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and pay it over to them as their interests may appear. 

Section 10.06 Subrogation. 

After all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is paid in full and all commitments to extend credit under the Senior Indebtedness have been
terminated and until the Notes are paid in full, in the event cash or other property otherwise payable to the Holders under the Notes shall have in fact been applied pursuant to this Indenture to the Senior Indebtedness, Holders shall be subrogated
to the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to such Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders is
not, as between the Issuer and Holders, a payment by the Issuer on such Senior Indebtedness. In no event, however, shall the Holders have any rights or claims against any Representative or any holder of the Senior Indebtedness for any alleged
impairment of the subrogation rights granted hereunder. 
 Section 10.07 Relative Rights. 

This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

  

	 	(i)	impair, as between the Issuer and Holders, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal (and any accretion) of and interest on
the Notes in accordance with their terms; 

  

	 	(ii)	prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to
receive payments or distributions otherwise payable to Holders and such other rights of such holders of Senior Indebtedness as set forth herein; or 

  

	 	(iii)	affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Issuer other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness. 

Section 10.08 Subordination May Not Be Impaired. 

No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall
be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Issuer or by their 
  

 - 105 - 

 
failure to comply with this Indenture. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein provided shall at any time or in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any failure to act on the part of the holders of any Senior Indebtedness, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder of Senior Indebtedness may have or be otherwise charged with or any amendment or
modification of or supplement to the Senior Credit Facilities or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Senior Indebtedness. 

Section 10.09 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. 

Notwithstanding Section 10.03 hereof, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to him that
payments may not be made under this Article 10; provided that the foregoing provisions shall not relieve the Holders of their obligations under Section 10.05. The Issuer, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of
Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall be entitled to give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer has a Representative, only the Representative shall be entitled to give the notice. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 10 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the
Issuer which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 10 shall apply to claims
of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof or any other Section of this Indenture. 

Section 10.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. 

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, the distribution may be made and
the notice given to their Representative (if any). 
 Section 10.11 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right To
Accelerate. 
 The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Notes by reason of any provision in this Article 10 shall not
be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 10 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Notes. 

Section 10.12 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust by
the Trustee for the payment of principal (including any accretion) of and interest on the Notes pursuant to Article 8 or Article 13 hereof shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or subject to the
restrictions set forth in this Article 10, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Issuer or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other creditor of the Issuer, provided that the
subordination provisions of this Article 10 were not violated at the time the applicable amounts were deposited in trust pursuant to Article 8 or Article 13 hereof, as the case may be. 

 

 - 106 - 

 Section 10.13 Trustee Entitled To Rely. 

Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any
order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.02 hereof are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon the Representatives of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. In the event that the Trustee determines, in
good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts
pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 10, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be en-titled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 10. 

Section 10.14 Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. 

A Holder by its acceptance of a Note agrees to be bound by this Article 10 and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on his
behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer as provided in this Article 10 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for
any and all such purposes. 
 Section 10.15 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer.

 The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and shall not
be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Issuer or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10 or
otherwise. 
 Section 10.16 Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer on Subordination Provisions.

 Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to
be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to
hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness. The
Holders shall not challenge the validity or enforceability of the subordination provisions set forth in this Article 10 or any other provisions of this Indenture. 

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer may, at any time
and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 10 or the obligations
hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, do any one or more of the following: (i)
  

 - 107 - 

 
change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer and
any other Person. 
 Section 10.17 Reinstatement; Third Party Beneficiaries. 

(1) The provisions of this Article 10 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of
any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Indebtedness (whether prior to or after payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness) upon the receivership, arrangement, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding of the Issuer or any Guarantor as though such payment had not been made. 
 (2) The
provisions of this Article 10 shall continue to be effective during any period in which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or when there are commitments to extend credit under the Senior Credit Facilities and thereafter in accordance with the
immediately preceding paragraph of this Article 10. Each Representative and holder of any Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Article 10 (and the related defined terms) and this Article 10 (and related defined
terms) shall not be amended except in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 9.02 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 11 

GUARANTEES 

Section 11.01 Guarantee. Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and
unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the
Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and
not a guarantee of collection. 
 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any
judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged
except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
  

 - 108 - 

 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01. 
 If any
Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to
the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 

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

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer
for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced,
restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a
general senior subordinated obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution
of any kind or nature. 
 Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of
Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or similar limitation, for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws

  

 - 109 - 

 
and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor
under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, or similar limitation, under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its
Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the
respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby
agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or Treasurer, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice Presidents. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature
is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set
forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any
Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable. 

Section 11.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuer in respect of any
amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or
based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

Section 11.05 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

Section 11.06 Release of Guarantees by Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall provide by its
terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of the such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon:

 (a) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the
Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange,
disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (ii) the
release or discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness under a guarantee (other than a guarantee of the ABL Facility) that resulted in the creation of 

 

 - 110 - 

 
such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and
that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15) (notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Guarantee provided by a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Issue Date may not be released and discharged pursuant to this Section 11.06(a)(ii)); 

(iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or 
 (iv) the exercise by the Issuer of its Legal
Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 

(b) such Subsidiary Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 Section 11.07
Release of Guarantee by Holdings. The Guarantee by Holdings shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: 

(a) the exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the
satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 

(b) Holdings delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 ARTICLE 12 

SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEES 

Section 12.01 Agreement To Subordinate. 

Each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee are
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12, to the prior payment in full of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and that the subordination is for the benefit of and
enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. A Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of such
Guarantor, and shall be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor; and only Indebtedness of such Guarantor that is Senior Indebtedness shall rank senior to the obligations of such Guarantor
under its Guarantee in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 12 shall be subject to Section 12.12. 

Section 12.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. 

Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of a Guarantor upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution or receivership,
arrangement, reorganization, insolvency or bankruptcy or similar proceeding relating to such Guarantor or its property or assets: 

(1) the holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such
Senior Indebtedness before Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character with respect to any Obligations on or relating to, the Guarantee; 

 

 - 111 - 

 (2) until the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is paid in full in cash
and all commitments to extend credit under the Senior Indebtedness have been terminated, any payment or distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of this Indenture shall be made to holders of such Senior
Indebtedness on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such holder, except that Holders may receive Permitted Junior Securities; and 

(3) if a distribution is made to Holders that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to them,
such Holders are required to hold it in trust for the holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor and pay it over to them on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Holder. 

In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar proceedings relative to any Guarantor, if any
Holder has not filed any claim, proof of claim or other instrument of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee held by such Holder within 15 days before the expiration of the time to file the same,
then and in such event, but only in such event, the Representatives under any Designated Senior Indebtedness may, as an attorney-in-fact for such Holder, file any claim, proof of claim or such other instrument of similar character on behalf of such
Holder, and such Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of such Holder’s Note, appoints each such Representative of Designated Senior Indebtedness as an attorney-in-fact for such Holder, to so file any claim, proof of claim or such other
instrument of similar character. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall nevertheless retain all rights to enforce and to vote such claim, proof of claim or other instrument in its capacity as the Holder. 

Section 12.03 Default on Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor. 

A Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, make any payment pursuant to its Guarantee (or pay any other Obligations relating to its
Guarantee, including fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and rescission or damage claims) and may not purchase, redeem or otherwise retire or acquire for cash or property any Notes (collectively, “pay its Guarantee”) (except in the
form of Permitted Junior Securities) if either of the following occurs (a “Guarantor Payment Default”): 

(1) any Obligation on any Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is not paid in full in cash when due (after
giving effect to any applicable grace period); or 
 (2) any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of
such Guarantor occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms; 
 unless, in either
case, the Guarantor Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash and all commitments to extend credit under the Designated Senior
Indebtedness have been terminated. Regardless of the foregoing, such Guarantor is permitted to pay its Guarantee if such Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representatives of all Designated Senior
Indebtedness with respect to which the Guarantor Payment Default has occurred and is continuing. 
  

 - 112 - 

 During the continuance of any default other than a Guarantor Payment Default (a
“Non-Guarantor Payment Default”) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect
such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, such Guarantor is not permitted to pay its Guarantee (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) for a period (a “Guarantee Payment Blockage Period”)
commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to such Guarantor and the Issuer) of written notice (a “Guarantee Blockage Notice”) of such Non-Guarantor Payment De-fault from the Representative of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Guarantee Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. So long as there shall remain outstanding any Senior Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities or any commitment to extend credit
thereunder has not been terminated, a Guarantee Blockage Notice may be given only by the respective Representatives thereunder unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the requisite lenders named therein. The Guarantee Payment Blockage Period shall
end earlier if such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee, the relevant Guarantor and the Issuer from the Person or Persons who gave such Guarantee Blockage Notice; (ii) because the default
giving rise to such Guarantee Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing in accordance with the applicable documents evidencing or related to such Designated Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) because such Designated Senior
Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in cash and all commitments to extend credit under the Designated Senior Indebtedness have been terminated. 

Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding two sentences (but subject to the provisions contained in the first
sentence of this Section 12.03 and Section 12.02 hereof), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness or a Payment Default otherwise exists, the relevant Guarantor is permitted to resume paying its Guarantee after the end of such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period. Each Guarantee shall not be subject to more than one Guarantee Payment
Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Guarantor during such period; provided that if any Guarantee Blockage Notice is delivered
to the Trustee by or on behalf of the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor (other than the holders of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility), a Representative of holders of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility may in the
aggregate give one other Guarantee Blockage Notice within such period. However, in no event shall the total number of days during which any Guarantee Payment Blockage Period or Periods on a Guarantee is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate
during any consecutive 360 day period, and there must be at least 181 days during any consecutive 360 day period during which no Guarantee Payment Blockage Period is in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no default that existed or was
continuing on the date of delivery of any Guarantee Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Guarantee Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been waived for a period of not less than 90 days (it being
acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants during the period after the date of delivery of a Guarantee Blockage Notice, that, in either case, would give rise to a Non-Guarantor Payment Default pursuant to any
provisions under which a Non-Guarantor Payment Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new Non-Guarantor Payment Default for this purpose). 

Section 12.04 Demand for Payment. 

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default and a demand for payment is made on a Guarantor pursuant to Article
11 hereof, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such demand; provided that any failure to give such
notice shall have 
  

 - 113 - 

 
no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 12. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor is outstanding, such Guarantor may not pay its Guarantee until five Business Days
after the Representatives of such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay its Guarantee only if this Indenture otherwise permits payment at that time. 

Section 12.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 

If a distribution is made to Holders that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to them, such Holders are
required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Guarantor and pay it over to them as their interests may appear. 

Section 12.06 Subrogation. 

After all Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor is paid in full and all commitments to extend credit under the Senior Indebtedness have been
terminated and until the Notes are paid in full, in the event cash or other property otherwise payable to Holders under the Notes shall have in fact been applied pursuant to this Indenture to the Senior Indebtedness, Holders shall be subrogated to
the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to such Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders is
not, as between the relevant Guarantor and Holders, a payment by such Guarantor on such Senior Indebtedness. In no event, however, shall the Holders have any rights or claims against any Representative or any holder of the Senior Indebtedness for
any alleged impairment of subrogation rights granted hereunder. 
 Section 12.07 Relative Rights. 

This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

 (1) impair, as between such Guarantor and Holders, the obligation of such Guarantor, which is absolute and
unconditional, to make payments under its Guarantee in accordance with its terms; 
 (2) prevent the Trustee or
any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a default by such Guarantor under its obligations with respect to its Guarantee, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to receive payments or distributions
other-wise payable to Holders and such other rights of such holders of Senior Indebtedness as set forth herein; or 

(3) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of such Guarantor other than their rights in relation to holders
of Senior Indebtedness. 
 Section 12.08 Subordination May Not Be Impaired. 

No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Guarantee shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by such Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Indenture. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein provided shall at any
time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any failure to act on the part of the holders of any Senior Indebtedness, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder of Senior Indebtedness may have or be otherwise charged with or any
amendment or modification of or supplement to the Senior Credit Facilities or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Senior Indebtedness. 

 

 - 114 - 

 Section 12.09 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. 

Notwithstanding Section 12.03 hereof, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to him that
payments may not be made under this Article 12; provided that the foregoing provisions shall not relieve the Holders of their obligations under Section 12.05. A Guarantor, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor shall be entitled to give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor has a Representative, only the Representative shall be entitled to give the notice. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of a
Guarantor which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to
claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof or any other Section of this Indenture. 

Section 12.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. 

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, the distribution may be made
and the notice given to their Representative (if any). 
 Section 12.11 Article 12 Not To Prevent Events of Default or
Limit Right To Demand Payment. 
 The failure of a Guarantor to make a payment pursuant its Guarantee by reason of any
provision in this Article 12 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by such Guarantor under its Guarantee. Nothing in this Article 12 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to make a demand for
payment on a Guarantor pursuant to Article 11 hereof. 
 Section 12.12 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust by
the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to Article 8 or Article 13 hereof shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of any Guarantor or subject to the restrictions set forth in
this Article 12, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to such Guarantor or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor or any other creditor of such Guarantor, provided that the subordination provisions of
this Article 12 were not violated at the time the applicable amounts were deposited in trust pursuant to Article 8 or Article 13 hereof, as the case may be 

Section 12.13 Trustee Entitled To Rely. 

Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any
order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings 
  

 - 115 - 

 
of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 hereof are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the
Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon the Representatives of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and
other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the
rights of such Person under this Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The
provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12. 

Section 12.14 Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. 

A Holder by its acceptance of a Note agrees to be bound by this Article 12 and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on his
behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for
any and all such purposes. 
 Section 12.15 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness of Guarantors.

 The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor and shall not
be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or such Guarantor or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article
12 or otherwise. 
 Section 12.16 Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor on Subordination
Provisions. 
 Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and
are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or
to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior
Indebtedness. The Holders shall not challenge the validity or enforceability of the subordination provisions set forth in this Article 12 or any other provisions of this Indenture. 

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor may, at any time
and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and with-out impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 12 or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is outstanding;
(ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with 
  

 - 116 - 

 
any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against such Guarantor and any other Person. 

Section 12.17 Reinstatement; Third Party Beneficiaries. 

(1) The provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of
any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Indebtedness (whether prior to or after payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness) upon the receivership, arrangement, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding of the Issuer or any Guarantor as though such payment had not been made. 
 (2) The
provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to be effective during any period in which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or when there are commitments to extend credit under the Senior Credit Facilities and thereafter in accordance with the
immediately preceding paragraph of this Article 12. Each Representative and holder of any Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Article 12 (and the related defined terms) and this Article 12 (and related defined
terms) shall not be amended except in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 9.2 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 13 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 13.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to
all Notes, when either: 
 (a) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which
have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(b) (i) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a
notice of redemption or otherwise, shall become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for
purpose of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the
Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such
Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption (it being understood that any satisfaction and discharge shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid); 

 

 - 117 - 

 (ii) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be
applied to make such deposit or any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any Senior Credit Facilities, or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this
Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to
other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (iii) the Issuer has
paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 
 (iv) the Issuer has delivered
irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions
precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (i) of clause (b) of this Section 13.01, the provisions of Section 13.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and
discharge. 
 Section 13.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee;
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent
is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 13.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof; provided that if
the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 [Back of Senior Subordinated Note] 

11.50% Senior Subordinated Note due 2018 

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

 (1) Interest. American Tire Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at a rate per annum of 11.50% from May 28, 2010 until maturity. The Issuer shall pay interest on this Note semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year beginning December 1, 2010, or, if any
such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Issuer shall make each interest payment to the Holder of record of this Note on the immediately preceding May 15 and
November 15 (each, a “Record Date”). Interest on this Note shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including May 28, 2010. The Issuer shall pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note; provided that the interest shall be increased automatically
by 2.00% per annum upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, further, that such default interest shall be ineffective if TCW does not own at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. TCW shall provide notice to the Trustee if it ceases to own at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the

provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s
Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the “Guarantee”); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows: 
 (1)
Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

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

(a) Along with all other Guarantors named in the Indenture (including pursuant to any supplemental indentures), to jointly and severally
unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the
Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes
shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or
the Trustee thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms thereof; and 
 (ii) in
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment
and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with 

 

 D-1 

 
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any other Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. 
 (c) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby waives:
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 

(d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and this
Supplemental Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations applicable to a Guarantor under the Indenture, including Article 11 of the Indenture (which is deemed incorporated in this Supplemental Indenture and applicable to this
Guarantee). The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that by executing this Supplemental Indenture, it shall become a Guarantor under the Indenture and subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Guarantors contained therein. 

(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors (including the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. 

(g) As between the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee. 

(i) Pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant
under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, or similar limitation, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 11 of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance, or similar limitation. 
 (j) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part
of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced
in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.
In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored
or returned. 
 (k) In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  

 D-2 

 (l) This Guarantee shall be a general secured senior obligation of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any. 

(m) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim,
reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 (3) Execution and Delivery. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 

(4) Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(c) of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not consolidate, amalgamate
or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more
related transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (i) (A) such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person
or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Guaranteeing Subsidiary) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a Person
organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as applicable, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such surviving
Guaranteeing Subsidiary or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”); 

(B) the Successor Person, if other than such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, expressly assumes all the obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture, the Collateral Documents and such Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee;

 (C) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists; and 

(D) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture; or 

(ii) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture. 

(b) Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Guaranteeing Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with or into, wind up into or transfer all or part of its properties
and assets to another Guaranteeing Subsidiary or the Issuer. 
 (5) Releases. The Guarantee of the Guaranteeing
Subsidiary shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, the Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Guarantee, upon:

 (a) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the
Capital Stock of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, after which the applicable Guaranteeing Subsidiary is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, in each case if such sale,
exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
  

 D-3 

 (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a
release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guaranteeing Subsidiary would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 in the Indenture);

 (iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or 
 (iv) the exercise by the Issuer
of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 of the Indenture or the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

 (b) such Guaranteeing Subsidiary delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

(6) No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or
stockholder of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary (other than the Issuer and the Guarantors) shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary) under the Notes, any Guarantees, the
Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 (7) Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (8) Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of
copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 

(9) Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 (10) The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary. 

(11) Subrogation. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuer in respect of any
amounts paid by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof and Section 11.01 of the Indenture; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall
not be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under the Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

(12) Benefits Acknowledged. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Guarantee is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it

 D-4
