incurred (or any commitment in respect thereof) as being incurred as of the Applicable Calculation Date and (i) any subsequent incurrence of such Indebtedness under such commitment (so long as the total amount under such Indebtedness does not exceed
the Elected Amount) shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence of additional Indebtedness at such subsequent time, (ii) such Person may revoke an election of an Elected Amount pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate

Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto

disposition or such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation or consolidation or other transaction (including the EMC Transactions), in each case calculated in accordance with and permitted by clause (2) of the definition of

been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a
responsible financial or accounting officer of Covenant Parent to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness
under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period or, if lower, the maximum commitments under such revolving credit facility as of
the Applicable Calculation Date. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based
upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Covenant Parent may designate.

Consolidated EBITDA of Covenant Parent or the target company) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded
as a result of such fluctuations and (y) such baskets or ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions; provided, however, that (a) if any ratios improve or baskets
increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized and (b) if Covenant Parent elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement, any such transactions (including any
incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under this Indenture after
the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition unless and until such Limited Condition Acquisition has been abandoned, as determined by Covenant Parent, prior to the consummation thereof. For the
avoidance of doubt, if Covenant Parent has exercised its option under this Section 1.06(b) and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date on which the definitive acquisition agreements for the applicable Limited Condition
Acquisition were entered into and prior to or on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any
action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted under this Indenture.

All Notes of any one series need not be issued at one time and, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to any such Officer’s
Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards, as applicable, with respect to a series of Notes, the authorized principal amount of any series of Notes may be increased to provide for issuances of additional Notes of
a series, at the option of the Issuers, without the consent of any Holder of any series of Notes, at any time and from time to time. 
 (c)
Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, or in such other form as shall be established in one or more supplemental indentures, in each case, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or not prohibited by this Indenture (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in

variations as are required or not prohibited by this Indenture (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of
the outstanding Notes of any series as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal

  
 -58- 

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

the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. 

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global
Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or
its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided. 
 (e) Terms. The terms and
provisions contained in the Notes of any series shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Fincos and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, and, from and after the consummation of the
Mergers and upon the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, Covenant Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 

The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuers pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer as provided in Section 4.10 or a Change of
Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3. 
 Additional
Notes of a series ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes of such series may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuers without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class
with the Initial Notes of such series and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes of such series; provided that the Issuers’ ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the
Issuers’ compliance with Section 4.09. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture. 

(f) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and
“Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of each of the Issuers by manual, facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf”)
signature. 

  
 -59- 

 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is
authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuers may
deliver Notes executed by the Issuers to the Trustee for authentication and delivery and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Notes of any series for an
aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Notes. 
 In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

(a) (x) if the terms and form of such Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution or resolutions of the Boards of the
Issuers, a copy of the appropriate record of such action, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuers, and (y) if the terms and form of such Notes are established by an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to general
authorization of the Boards of the Issuers, such Officer’s Certificate; and/or 
 (b) a copy of the executed supplemental indenture;
and 
 (c) an Officer’s Certificate delivered in accordance with Sections 13.04 and 13.05; and 

(d) an Opinion of Counsel, delivered in accordance with Sections 13.04 and 13.05, and which shall also state: 

(1) that the form of such Notes has been established by an Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture or pursuant to
resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture and in conformity with the Base Indenture; 

(2) that the terms of such Notes have been established in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture and in
conformity with the other provisions of the Base Indenture; and 
 (3) that such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee and issued by the Issuers in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
customary exceptions, limitations, qualifications and other assumptions. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Issuers to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers.

 SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

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

The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

 The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to
the Global Notes. 
 SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Issuers 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 of any series of Notes or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such series of Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in
making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it with respect to such series of Notes to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it with respect to such series of Notes to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than Denali or a Subsidiary of Denali) shall have no further liability for the money. If Denali or a
Subsidiary of Denali 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 Issuers, the
Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes of any series. 
 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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as
of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes of any series. 
 SECTION 2.06.
Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section
2.06, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged
for a Definitive Note of the same series unless (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) 

  
 -61- 

 
has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 120 days or (ii) there shall have
occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note of the same series or
beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced,
in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section
2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above and pursuant to Section
2.06(b)(ii)(B) and Section 2.06(c). A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c). 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial
Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable

Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

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

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers
and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i), the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to
the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and

the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h). 

(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted
Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) and the Registrar receives the
following: 
 (A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a 144A Global Note, then the
transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; or

transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B, including the certifications in item (2) thereof. 

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

and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (iv), if the Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion
of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer
required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. 
 If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (iv) above at
a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (iv) above.

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). 

(iii) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for
redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part. 

(iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(v) The Issuers shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes of any series during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes of such series for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Note so selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Sale Offer or other tender offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

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

 -71- 

 (viii) At the option of the Holder, Notes of any series may be exchanged for
other Notes of such series of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes of such series to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers 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 Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if
a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of
the Issuers 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 of any series outstanding at any time are all the Notes of such series authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it,
those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth
in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because an Issuer or an Affiliate of an Issuer holds the Note. 
 If a Note
is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

  
 -72- 

 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be
outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuers, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or the Maturity, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 

SECTION 2.09. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes of a series owned by the Issuers, or by any Affiliate of the Issuers (excluding any Affiliated Debt Fund), shall be considered as though not outstanding (provided that the aggregate amount of Notes of such series held by any Affiliated
Debt Fund shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series have taken any
actions), except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of a series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notes of a series 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 of a series and that the pledgee is not an Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes of a series or any Affiliate of an Issuer or of such other obligor. 

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes of any series are ready for delivery, the Issuers 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 Issuers considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes of the same series in exchange for temporary Notes. 

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

The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes of any series 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 cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposal of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the
Issuers upon their written request. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 -73- 

 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes of any series, they shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus,
to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special Record Date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes of such series and in Section 4.01. The Issuers shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuers 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 each such special Record Date and payment date; provided that no such special Record Date
shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such special Record Date. At least 15 days before the special Record Date, the Issuers (or, upon the
written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder of such series of Notes 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 Numbers. 

The Issuers in issuing the Notes of any series may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers or both numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the
Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers or both 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
Issuers will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers of any Notes. 
 ARTICLE 3

 -74- 

 SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

If less than all of the Notes of any series are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, such Notes shall be selected
for redemption or repurchase by lot, pro rata, or by such other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate; provided that if the Notes are represented by Global Notes, interests in the Notes shall be selected for redemption or
repurchase by DTC in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. Such Notes of a series to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date
from the outstanding Notes of such series not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers
in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in
amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or repurchased in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes
of such series held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes of a series called for redemption or purchase
also apply to portions of Notes of that series called for redemption or purchase. 
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to Section 3.09, the Issuers shall deliver electronically, mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
notices of redemption at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is specified solely in respect of any Special Mandatory Redemption) but, except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.03, not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date or purchase date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior
to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11. Notices of redemption may be conditional. 

The notice shall identify the series of Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date; 

(b) the Redemption Price; 

(c) if any Note is to be redeemed or purchased in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be
redeemed or purchased and that, with respect to Notes represented by Definitive Notes after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original
Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or repurchased will be issued in the name of the Holder of such Notes upon cancellation of the original Note; provided that the new Notes will be only issued in denominations
of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

  
 -75- 

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

(e) that Notes of the series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

 (f) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes of the series called for
redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or
Section of this Indenture or the Officer’s Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards governing such series of Notes, as applicable, pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 

(h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice
or printed on the Notes; and 
 (i) if in connection with a redemption of any series of Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption terms set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards governing such series of Notes, as applicable, any condition to such redemption. 

A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. 

Notice of any redemption of, or any offer to purchase, the Notes may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be given in connection with an Equity
Offering, other transaction (or series of related transactions) or an event that constitutes a Change of Control and prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or purchase may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be
subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of the related Equity Offering, transaction or event, as the case may be. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of
one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption or purchase date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after
the date the notice of redemption or offer to purchase was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in
the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption or purchase date or by the redemption or purchase date as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Issuers’ discretion if
the Issuers reasonably believe that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with
respect to such redemption or offer to purchase may be performed by another Person. 
 SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption or
Purchase. 
 Once a notice of redemption is sent (including electronically) in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes of a series
called for redemption or purchase become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date or purchase date, as applicable, at the Redemption Price or purchase price, as applicable, unless such redemption or purchase is conditioned on the happening
of a future event. The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided (including electronically), shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice

  
 -76- 

 
or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption or purchase in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption or purchase of
any other Note or portions thereof. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the Redemption Date or purchase date, as applicable, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

Prior to noon (New York City time) on the Redemption Date or purchase date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying
Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money
deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date or purchase date, interest shall cease
to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased 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 or purchase 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 or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption
or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
interest accrued to the Redemption Date or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in such series of Notes and in Section 4.01. 

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at
the expense of the Issuers a new Note of the same series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each
new Note will be issued in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of
Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 
 SECTION 3.07. Optional
Redemption. 
 The optional redemption terms with respect to any series of Notes shall be set forth in the Officer’s Certificate,
supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards, as applicable, governing such series of Notes. The Issuers and their Affiliates may at any time and from time to time acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, including
through the purchase of Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. 
 SECTION 3.08. Mandatory
Redemption. 
 Except as provided in Section 3.10, the Issuers shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking
fund payments with respect to any series of Notes. 

  
 -77- 

 SECTION 3.09. Offers to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

(a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10, the Issuers shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, they shall follow the
procedures specified below. 
 (b) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no
longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuers
shall apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of all Notes and, if required, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 

(c) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, up to but excluding the Purchase Date, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset
Sale Offer. 
 (d) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuers shall send, electronically or by first-class mail, a notice to
each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and holders
of Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 
 (1) that the
Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open; 

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer
shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an
Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only; 

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

  
 -78- 

 (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness
surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be selected to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari
Passu Indebtedness tendered (with such adjustments so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except
that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes of such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased); and

beneficial owner of the Notes, in each case by posting such information on its website on Intralinks or any comparable password-protected online data system which shall require a confidentiality acknowledgment, and shall make such information

(13) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Subsidiary which was previously an Unrestricted Subsidiary which
encumbrance or restriction exists pursuant to or by reason of an agreement that such Subsidiary is a party to or entered into before the date on which such Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not
entered into in anticipation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and any such encumbrance or restriction does not extend to any assets or property of Covenant Parent or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets

 (14) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock

date of the applicable series of Notes), 
 (B) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (i) Indebtedness

than provisions customary for senior or senior subordinated discount notes of a holding company (it being understood that the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, stating that Covenant Parent has determined in good faith that
such terms and conditions of such Indebtedness satisfy the foregoing requirements, shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement) and (F) that any such Indebtedness of Covenant Parent is subordinated
in right of payment to its Note Guarantee; provided that any such Indebtedness shall constitute Permitted Covenant Parent Debt only if immediately after giving effect to the issuance or incurrence thereof, no Event of Default shall have

 (39) all premiums (if any), interest (including post-petition interest), fees, expenses,
charges and additional or contingent interest on obligations described in clauses (1) through (38) of this Section 4.09(b). 

  
 -103- 

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

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (39) of Section 4.09(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09(a), Covenant Parent, in its sole discretion, may divide, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this
Section 4.09 and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or portion thereof) in one of the clauses in Section 4.09(b) or under Section 4.09(a);
provided that all Indebtedness represented by term loans outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Effective Date(after giving effect to the EMC Transactions) shall be treated as incurred on the Effective Date under clause
(1) of Section 4.09(b) or, in the case of any Cash Flow Bridge Facility, clause (3) of Section 4.09(b); 

(2) at the time of incurrence, Covenant Parent shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than
one of the types of Indebtedness described in Sections 4.09(a) and 4.09(b); and 
 (3) the
principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this Section 4.09 shall be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness. 

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of
interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this
Section 4.09. If Indebtedness originally incurred in reliance upon a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio under clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) is being refinanced under
clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) and such refinancing would cause the maximum amount of Indebtedness thereunder to be exceeded at such time, then such refinancing shall nevertheless be permitted thereunder and such additional Indebtedness shall
be deemed to have been incurred under clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of Indebtedness being refinanced plus amounts permitted by the next
sentence. Any Indebtedness incurred to refinance Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (1) and (12)(b) of Section 4.09(b) shall be permitted to include additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
incurred to pay accrued but unpaid interest, dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, fees, costs and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount (in lieu of upfront fees) or similar
fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing. 
 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 deemed to
be incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt, for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign
currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction
shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid interest,
dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, fees, costs and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount (in lieu of upfront fees) or similar fees) incurred in connection with such
refinancing. 

  
 -104- 

 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.

 For the purposes of this Indenture, Indebtedness that is unsecured is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness
merely because such Indebtedness is unsecured, and Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness solely because such Indebtedness has a junior priority with respect to shared collateral or because it is guaranteed
by other obligors. 
 SECTION 4.10. Asset Sales. 

(a) From and after the Effective Date, Covenant Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate, directly or
indirectly, an Asset Sale unless: 
 (1) Covenant Parent 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 (measured at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration (measured at the time of contractually
agreeing to such Asset Sale) for such Asset Sale, together with all other Asset Sales since the Effective Date (on a cumulative basis), received by Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash
Equivalents. 
 (b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale (the “Asset Sale Proceeds Application
Period”), Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, 

(1) to repay (i) Obligations under the Initial Notes of any series and any Additional Notes of such series, (ii) Obligations
under (A) Secured Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility to the extent such Obligations were incurred under clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) or (B) the Asset Sale Bridge Facility and/or (iii) Obligations under any other Secured
Indebtedness, and in each case, in the case of revolving obligations (other than obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset Sale constituted
“borrowing base assets”), to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 
 (2) to repay Obligations
under any Senior Indebtedness (other than any Senior Indebtedness referred to in clause (1) above), and in the case of revolving obligations (other than obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility to the extent the assets sold or
otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset Sale constituted “borrowing base assets”), to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided that Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (A)
reduce the aggregate principal amount of Obligations under the Initial Notes of any series and any Additional Notes of such series on an equal or ratable basis 

  
 -105- 

 
with any Senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (2) by, at its option, (x) redeeming Initial Notes of any series and any Additional Notes of such series pursuant to the optional
redemption terms set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards, as applicable, governing such series of Initial Notes or Additional Notes and/or (y) purchasing Initial Notes of any
series and any Additional Notes of such series through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions at market prices (which may be below par) and/or (B) make an offer (in accordance with Section 3.09) to all Holders to
purchase their Initial Notes of any series and any Additional Notes of such series on an equal or ratable basis with any Senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (2) (which offer shall be deemed to be an Asset Sale Offer for purposes
hereof); 
 (3) to invest in the business of Covenant Parent and its Subsidiaries, including (i) any investment in Additional
Assets and (ii) making capital expenditures; 
 (4) to repay Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor
(excluding the Issuers), other than Indebtedness owed to an Issuer or a Guarantor; or 
 (5) any combination of the
foregoing; 
 provided that, in the case of clause (3) above, a binding commitment or letter of intent shall be treated as a permitted application of
the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment or letter of intent so long as Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment or letter of intent with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to
satisfy such commitment or letter of intent within 180 days of the expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Proceeds are actually applied in such manner within 180 days of
the expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period (the period from the consummation of the Asset Sale to such date, the “First Commitment Application Period”), and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later
cancelled or terminated for any reason after the expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period and before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds unless Covenant Parent
or such Restricted Subsidiary reasonably expects to enter into another Acceptable Commitment prior to the expiration of the First Commitment Application Period (a “Second Commitment”) and such Net Proceeds are actually applied in
such manner prior to 180 days from the date of entering into the Second Commitment; provided, further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied or if such Second
Commitment is not entered into prior to the expiration of the First Commitment Application Period, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds. 

(c) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale covered by this Section 4.10 that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time
period set forth in Section 4.10(b) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” No later than 20 Business Days after the date that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $500.0 million, the Issuers shall make an
offer to all Holders and, if required by the terms of other Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment 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 (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is, in the case of the Notes only, equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof that
may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price, in the case of the Notes only, in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date fixed for the
repurchase of such Notes pursuant to such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and, if applicable, the other documents governing the applicable Pari 

  
 -106- 

 
Passu Indebtedness. The Issuers shall commence an Asset Sale Offer by sending the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuers may satisfy the
foregoing obligation with respect to such Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”) with respect to all or part of the available Net
Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”). 
 (d) To the extent that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable) of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness, tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds
(or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset
Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuers shall select the Notes (subject to applicable DTC procedures as to Global Notes) and the Issuers or the representative of such
Pari Passu Indebtedness shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased or repaid on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered, with adjustments as necessary so
that no Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, will be repurchased in an unauthorized denomination; provided, that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion), and in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess
Proceeds. 
 (e) Pending the final application of an amount equal to the Net Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply any Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility (including under the Senior Credit Facilities) or otherwise invest
such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (f) For purposes of this Section 4.10 only, the following shall
be deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents: 
 (1) the greater of the principal amount and the carrying value of any
liabilities (as reflected on the most recent balance sheet of Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred, accrued or increased subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would
have been reflected on the balance sheet of Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence, accrual or increase had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith
by Covenant Parent) of Covenant Parent 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 (or are otherwise extinguished in connection with
the transactions relating to such Asset Sale) pursuant to a written agreement which releases or indemnifies Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from such liabilities; 

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from such
transferee that are converted by Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received), in
each case, within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; and 
 (3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration
received by Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (with the fair market value of such item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time of contractually agreeing to
the related Asset Sale), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5.0% of the Total Assets at the time of contractually agreeing to such
Asset Sale. 

  
 -107- 

 (g) The Issuers 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 this Section 4.10, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached
its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (h) The provisions of Section 3.09 and this
Section 4.10 relating to the Issuers’ obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes of any series as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes of such series. 
 SECTION 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) From and after the Effective Date, Covenant Parent 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 Covenant Parent (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of the greater of (x) $250.0 million and (y) 2.5% of Consolidated
EBITDA of Covenant Parent for the Applicable Measurement Period, unless: 
 (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms, taken
as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to Covenant Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Covenant Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated
Person on an arm’s-length basis; and 
 (2) Covenant Parent delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate
Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $500.0 million, a resolution adopted by the Board of Covenant Parent approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an
Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a). 
 (b) The
provisions of Section 4.11(a) shall not apply to the following: 
 (1) (a) transactions between or among Covenant
Parent and a Restricted Subsidiary or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries or, in any case, any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction and (b) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of Covenant Parent
into any Parent Entity; provided that such Parent Entity shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of Covenant Parent or another Parent Entity and such merger,
amalgamation or consolidation is otherwise consummated in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected for a bona fide business purpose;

Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event or

such series that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the “Second Change of Control Payment Date”) at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

 (e) 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. 
 (f) The provisions of this Section 4.14 relating
to the Issuers’ obligation to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes of any series upon a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount

 SECTION 4.15. Additional Note Guarantees. From and after the Effective Date, Covenant Parent
shall not permit any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and is a Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuers, the Guarantors and any Receivables Subsidiary), to become an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under
the Senior Credit Facilities or any capital markets debt securities in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $350.0 million unless such Subsidiary within 60 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a

(b) Following the Termination Date with respect to a series of Notes, Covenant Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to
incur Liens permitted under Section 4.12 (including, without limitation, Permitted Liens) with respect to such series of Notes. To the extent Section 4.12 and any Permitted Liens refer to one or more Terminated Covenants, such
covenant or definition shall be interpreted as though such applicable Terminated Covenant(s) continued to be applicable following the Termination Date (but solely for purposes of Section 4.12 and the definition of “Permitted Liens”
and for no other covenant in this Indenture). 
 (c) Following the Termination Date with respect to a series of Notes, Covenant Parent shall
not designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under such series of Notes unless such designation would have complied with Section 4.07 as if Section 4.07 was in effect for the purposes of designating Unrestricted

 (d) The Issuers shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate notifying it of any such occurrence under this Section 4.16.

Redemption were to occur on such date (collectively and, together with any other property from time to time held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account, the “Escrowed Property”).

required by this Section 4.17 on or by any applicable deposit date as set forth in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 4.17; provided that, if an Interest Payment Date in respect of any series of Initial Notes occurs prior to the
Escrow Release, then, on such Interest Payment Date, a portion of the Escrowed Property in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Initial Notes of such series from the Issue Date or the most recent Interest Payment Date, as
applicable, to and excluding such Interest Payment Date, shall, upon written direction of the Fincos, be released from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and paid to the Trustee for payment to Holders of the Initial Notes of such series in
accordance with this Indenture. 
 (d) The Fincos shall grant the Trustee, for its benefit and the benefit of the Holders, subject to
certain Liens of the Escrow Agent as set forth in the Escrow Agreement, a first-priority security interest in the Escrow Account and all Eligible Escrow Investments therein to secure the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price;
provided, however, that such Lien and security interest shall automatically be released and terminate at such time as the Escrowed Property is released from the Escrow Account on 

  
 -115- 

 
the Escrow Release Date. The Escrow Agent will invest the Escrowed Property in such Eligible Escrow Investments, and liquidate such Eligible Escrow Investments, as the Fincos will from time to
time direct in writing. 
 (e) Subject to Section 3.10, the Fincos shall only be entitled to direct the Escrow Agent to release
Escrowed Property (in which case the Escrowed Property shall be paid to or as directed by the Fincos) (the “Escrow Release”) upon delivery to the Escrow Agent, on or prior to the Escrow End Date, of an Officer’s Certificate,
certifying that the following conditions have been or, substantially concurrently with the release of the Escrowed Property, will be satisfied (the date of the Escrow Release is hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Release Date”):

 (1) the Dell-EMC Merger will occur substantially concurrently with such release; 

(2) all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, and borrowings under, the Additional Merger Financing (other than the

with the Dell-EMC Merger) have been satisfied or waived in all material respects, and prior to or substantially concurrently with the release of the funds from the Escrow Account, the borrowings under the Additional Merger Financing to be drawn or
released from escrow in connection with the Dell-EMC Merger will be available on the Escrow Release Date; and

with the Escrow Release shall become, parties to this Indenture in the capacities described herein and therein. 
 The Escrow Release shall
occur promptly upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of an Officer’s Certificate certifying to the foregoing. Upon the occurrence of the Escrow Release, the Escrow Account shall be reduced to zero and the Escrowed Property and interest thereon shall
be paid out in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.18. Limitations on Activities Prior to the Escrow Release. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the consummation of the EMC Transactions, the Fincos’ primary

the senior management of Covenant Parent determines in good faith that such action is in the best interests of Covenant Parent and is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders, in each case, without regard to the requirements set forth in
Section 5.01(c). 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01, the EMC Transactions (including,
without limitation, the Mergers) will be permitted under this Indenture with the only requirement under this Section 5.01 being that, after consummation of the Mergers, (x) Dell International expressly assumes all the obligations of Finco 1

ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. 

(a) As used in this Indenture with respect to Notes of any series, unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is
specifically deleted or modified in an Officer’s Certificate, a supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards, as applicable, governing such series of Notes an “Event of Default” wherever used herein with
respect to Notes of any series, 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): 
 (1) the failure to pay the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) such series of Notes when due and payable (including pursuant to a Special Mandatory Redemption);

Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness owed to Covenant Parent or a Subsidiary or any Permitted Receivables Financing), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of such series of Notes, if both: 

(i) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after
giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such
Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and 
 (ii) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together
with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $500.0
million (or its foreign currency equivalent) or more at any one time outstanding; 

  
 -120- 

 (5) failure by Covenant Parent or any Significant Subsidiary that is a Restricted

than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and, in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; 

(6) Covenant Parent, any Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted

group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), in a proceeding in which Covenant Parent, any Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); 

  
 -121- 

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

(8) any Note Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or Note Guarantees of any group of
Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) of such series of Notes ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee) or any such Subsidiary Guarantor or
such group of Subsidiary Guarantors denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee of such series of Notes (other than by reason of the satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Indenture and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to such series of Notes or the release of such Note Guarantee with respect to such series of Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture); or 

(9) the failure by the Fincos to consummate the Special Mandatory Redemption, to the extent required under Section 3.10.

 (b) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01(a), 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: 
 (1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or 

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

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. 

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) and (7) of Section 6.01(a)) with
respect to Notes of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes of such series may declare the
principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and
interest with respect to such series of Notes shall be due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes of any series if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines
acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of such series of Notes. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event
of Default arising under clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) that has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, all outstanding Notes shall be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holder. 

  
 -122- 

 In the event of a declaration of acceleration with respect to Notes of any series, the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes of such series by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders of such series of Notes rescind and annul such declaration of
acceleration and its consequences if the rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to such series of Notes (except nonpayment of principal, interest, if any, or
premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
 Covenant Parent will be required to
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Covenant Parent, an Officer’s Certificate indicating whether the signer of the certificate knows of any failure by Covenant Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries to
comply with all conditions and covenants of this Indenture during such fiscal year. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Notes of any series at the time outstanding, the Trustee may pursue any
available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such series of Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of such series of Notes or this Indenture with respect to such series of Notes. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of such series of 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 with respect to such series of Notes shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past
Defaults. 
 Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes of any series by
notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such series waive any existing Default with respect to such series of Notes and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, any Note of such series held by a non-consenting Holder of such series of Notes (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer); provided, subject to Section 6.02, that
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes of such series may rescind a declaration of acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such
acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default with respect to such series of Notes shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to such series of Notes 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. 
 Subject to Section 6.06, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any
series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series and the Trustee
may act at the direction of the Holders without liability. 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 of such series or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

  
 -123- 

 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder of a Note of a series shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes of such series or for any remedy thereunder unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the
Trustee written notice that an Event of Default with respect to such series of Notes is continuing with respect to the Notes of such series; 

(2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the total outstanding Notes of such series have requested that the
Trustee to pursue the remedy in writing; 
 (3) Holders of such series of Notes have offered and, if requested, provided to
the Trustee for such Notes indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any cost, loss, liability or expense; 

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or
indemnity; and 
 (5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the total outstanding Notes of such series have
not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period; 
 provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply
to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due date expressed in such Note. 

A Holder of any series of Notes may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of such series of Notes or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Holder of Notes of such series. 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note of any series to receive payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such 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)(1) or (2) with respect to any series of Notes occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on such 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. 

  
 -124- 

 SECTION 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder of Notes of any series 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 Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee
and the Holders of Notes of such series shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes of such series 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,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy. 
 SECTION 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. 
 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to
Covenant Parent or an 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. 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 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. 

  
 -125- 

 SECTION 6.13. Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 (iii) to Covenant
Parent, an Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, including a Guarantor, if applicable. 
 The Trustee

 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, 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, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series. 

ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any series 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 with respect to the Notes of any series: 

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need

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 confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

  
 -126- 

 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own

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

 (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 Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuers and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

  
 -127-

for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of
the form of action. 
 (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.

previously delivered and not superseded. 
 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes of any series and may otherwise deal with the
Issuers or any Affiliate of any Issuer 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, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue as trustee or resign as Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

of such series of Notes 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 of such
series of Notes 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 of such series of Notes. The Trustee shall not be
deemed to know of any Default unless written notice of any event which is such a Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

Within 60 days after each October 15, following the issuance of a series of Notes under this Indenture, and for so long as any Notes remain

 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Issuers and any Guarantors 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 Issuers and any Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee promptly
upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) in addition to the compensation for its services. 

The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all
loss, damage, claim, 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 

  
 -129- 

 
any Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, any Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in
connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not
relieve the Issuers of its obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss, liability or expense determined to have been caused by the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors, if any, 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 Issuers and the Guarantors in
this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes of any series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes of that series. 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(a)(6) or (7) 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 with respect to the Notes of one or more series in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the
Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to that series of Notes by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuers in writing with 31 days
prior written notice. The Issuers may remove the Trustee with respect to Notes of one or more series if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to
comply with Section 7.10; 
 (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 with respect to the Notes of any one or more series or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for
any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then total
outstanding Notes of such series may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers. 

  
 -130- 

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any one or more series does not take office
within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuers’ expense), the Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes of the applicable
series 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 of Notes of the applicable series for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Notes of such series 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 Issuers. 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 with respect to
each series of Notes for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Holders of each such series of Notes. 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. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 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 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. 

SECTION 7.12. Escrow Authorization. 

Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, (i) consents and agrees to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, including documents related thereto,
as the same may be in effect or may be amended 

  
 -131- 

 
from time to time in writing by the parties thereto (provided that no amendment that would materially adversely affect the rights of the Holders of Notes of a series may be effected
without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding), and (ii) authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Escrow Agreement and to perform its obligations and
exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Fincos shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, to assure and confirm to
the Trustee the security interest contemplated by the Escrow Agreement or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes, according to the intent
and purpose herein expressed. The Fincos shall take, or shall cause to be taken, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the creation and maintenance of, as security for the obligations of the Fincos under this Indenture and the Notes
as provided in the Escrow Agreement, valid and enforceable first priority perfected Liens in and on all of the Escrowed Property, in favor of the Trustee for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the rights of
third Persons and subject to no other Liens. The Trustee shall have no duty to file any financing or continuation statements or otherwise take any actions to perfect the Lien granted under the Escrow Agreement. 

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

The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes of
any series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and
Discharge. 
 Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the
Issuers and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of any series and the related Note
Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by
the outstanding Notes of the applicable series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 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 the obligations of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, in each
case, with respect to such series of Notes) except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a) the rights of Holders of such series of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any,
on such Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04; 

(b) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such series of 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; 

  
 -132- 

 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers’
obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Section 8.02. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of their option under Section 8.03. 
 SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, 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 and 4.18 and Section 5.01(a)(4), Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.01(d) with respect to such Notes of the applicable series on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and Notes of such series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or
act of Holders of Notes of such series (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 Notes of such series
shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to Notes of such series, the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and
such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to Notes of such series under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and Notes of such series shall be
unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections
6.01(a)(3), 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries and any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary), 6.01(a)(7) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries and any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and 6.01(a)(8) shall
not constitute Events of Default with respect to Notes of such series. 
 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 to Notes of any series: 

(1) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the applicable series of
Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations (that through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount), or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient,
in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor (insofar as any U.S. Government Obligations are so included), to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on such 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 Issuers must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to Maturity or to a particular Redemption Date; 

  
 -133- 

 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 

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

 (b) since the issuance of such series of 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 of Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the
case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers 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 of Notes of such series will not
recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (4) 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; 

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

(6) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or any Guarantor or others; and 

(7) the Issuers 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 U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 8.06, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this 

  
 -134- 

 
Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the Notes of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of the Notes of such series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including an Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Notes of such
series 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 Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S.
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 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 Notes of such series. 

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the
request of the Issuers any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may
be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(2)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the applicable series
of Notes. 
 SECTION 8.06. Repayment to Issuers. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium
or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust;
and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers 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 U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section
8.02 or 8.03, 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 Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture and the
Notes of the applicable series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 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, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of the Notes of such series to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

  
 -135-

cure any ambiguity or omission or correct any defect or inconsistency;

(4) to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers with respect to such series or to add further covenants,

any Guarantor’s failure to comply with any such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions; 
 (5) to
modify or amend this Indenture in such a manner to permit the qualification of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 -136- 

 (13) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of

 (14) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes of any series or any related Note Guarantee to

provision in this Indenture, such Notes or such Note Guarantee; 
 (15) to make any amendment to the provisions of this
Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of any Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in such Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other
applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer such Notes; 

(16) to establish the form or terms of Notes of any series as permitted by Section 2.01; or 

(17) to enter into the supplemental indentures governing each series of Initial Notes, the Effective Date Issuers Supplemental

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; provided that the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affect its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Effective Date Issuers Supplemental Indentures or the Effective Date Guarantor Supplemental Indentures. The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of
Holders of Notes. 
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02 with respect to each series of Notes, the Issuers, any
Guarantor (with respect to a Note Guarantee), the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes of one or more series and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes of such series (including Additional Notes of such series, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
applicable series of Notes) and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of Notes (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or
interest on such Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded or annulled) or compliance in respect of a series of Notes with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or such series of Notes may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series (including Additional Notes of 

  
 -137- 

 
such series, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes of such series). Section
2.08 and Section 2.09 shall determine which Notes of such series are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their Boards 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 of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the
Trustee shall join with the Issuers 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 of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall deliver to the Holders of
Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to deliver 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 Holder of Notes affected thereby, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) change the
Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any such Note; 
 (2) reduce the
principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any such Note; 
 (3) reduce any premium, if any, the time at which Notes of
any series may be redeemed or Redemption Price payable upon the redemption of any such Note pursuant to the optional redemption terms set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers’ Boards, as
applicable, governing such Note; 
 (4) reduce the amount of the principal of an original discount Note that would be due and
payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof; 
 (5) change any place of payment where, or the coin or
currency in which, the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Note is payable; 
 (6) amend the contractual
right expressly set forth in this Indenture or any Note of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date of any such
Note; 
 (7) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any series, the consent of whose Holders
is required to approve any such modification or amendment or for any waiver of compliance with, or Defaults under, this Indenture; 

  
 -138- 

 (8) modify any of the provisions in Sections 6.04 and 6.05, except
to increase any percentage vote required or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture may not be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby; 

(9) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note (except a rescission or
annulment of acceleration of such Note by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Note 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 Note Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders of such Note; 

(10) make any change to or modify the ranking of any Note that would adversely affect the Holders of such Note; 

(11) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Note Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner
materially adverse to the Holders of any Notes; or 
 (12) modify any of the above provisions. 

SECTION 9.03. [Reserved]. 

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 Issuers 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 Issuers in exchange for all Notes of a series may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes of such series 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. 

  
 -139- 

 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 Issuers may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until their Boards approve it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee
shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel 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 Issuers and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute the Effective Date Issuers Supplemental Indentures

 ARTICLE 10 

NOTE GUARANTEES 
 SECTION 10.01.
Note Guarantee. 
 Subject to this Article 10, from and after the consummation of the Mergers and upon the execution and
delivery of the Effective Date Guarantor Supplemental Indentures or any other supplemental indenture to this Indenture, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully 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 Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest 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 Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (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 or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due
of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee
of collection. 
 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
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 an Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against an Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 

  
 -140- 

 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee
or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 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 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees. 
 Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against an Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should such 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 such 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 or Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise,
all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced
only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

The Note Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall be pari passu in
right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor (including its guarantee of all Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, the First Lien Notes, the Asset Sale Bridge Facility and any other Senior
Indebtedness constituting Additional Merger Financing). 
 Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be
made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor
Liability. 
 From and after the consummation of the Mergers and upon the execution and delivery of the Effective Date Guarantor
Supplemental Indentures or any other supplemental indenture to this Indenture, each Guarantor who executes such supplemental indenture, and by its acceptance of Notes, 

  
 -141- 

 
each Holder, confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors
irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are
relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10,
result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon
payment in full of all guaranteed 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 10.03. Execution and Delivery. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, after the consummation of the Mergers, each Guarantor shall execute the
supplemental indenture substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D-2 or such other supplemental indenture to this Indenture (including substantially in the form of the supplemental indenture set forth in Exhibit D-3). 

Upon the execution and delivery of the Effective Date Guarantor Supplemental Indentures or any other supplemental indenture to this Indenture,
each Guarantor who executes such supplemental indenture agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on
the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a supplemental indenture to this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

If required by Section 4.15, Covenant Parent shall cause any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and is a
Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuers, the Guarantors or a Receivables Subsidiary) to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 

SECTION 10.04. Subrogation. 

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Issuers in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01; 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 Issuers under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

  
 -142- 

 SECTION 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. 

Upon the execution and delivery of the Effective Date Guarantor Supplemental Indentures or any other supplemental indenture to this Indenture,
each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION 10.06. Release of Note Guarantees. 

Each Note Guarantee of a series of Notes by a Guarantor shall provide by its terms that its Obligations under this Indenture with respect to
such series and such Note Guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuers or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, upon:

 (1) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (by merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, dividend, distribution or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary
Guarantor to a non-Affiliate, in each case, if such sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited by the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

(2) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the release or discharge of the guarantee by, or direct obligation of, such
Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities or the release or discharge of such other guarantee or direct obligation that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of
payment under such guarantee or payment of such obligation after the occurrence of a payment default or acceleration thereunder (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release); 

(3) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (4) with respect to such series of Notes, the
Issuers exercising the legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option with respect to such series in accordance with Article 8 or the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture with respect to such series being discharged in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (5) the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor
with and into an Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger, amalgamation or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor; or 

(6) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event; provided that such Note
Guarantee shall not be released pursuant to this clause (6) for so long as such Subsidiary Guarantor is an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities or First Lien Notes. 

  
 -143- 

 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture shall upon the Issuers’ request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Notes specified by the Issuers
and any related Note Guarantees (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes of any series herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series of Notes, when: 
 (1) either (A) all Notes of
such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes of such series which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Notes of such series for
whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers or the Guarantors and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or the Guarantors or discharged from such trust), have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation; or 
 (B) (w) all Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have
become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers; 

(x) the Issuers or any Guarantor have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust
solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of such series, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes of such series not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the
case may be; 
 (y) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit or the
grant of any Lien securing such borrowing or any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to the Notes of such series or this Indenture in respect
of such series of 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 will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement
or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar
and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); and 

(z) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such
series of Notes at Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

  
 -144- 

 (2) the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder
by the Issuers with respect to such series of Notes; and 
 (3) the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series of Notes have been complied with. 

In the event there are outstanding Notes of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to the Notes of such series to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. In the event there are two or more Trustees with respect to a series
of Notes hereunder, then the effectiveness of any such instrument shall be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all Trustees with respect to the applicable series of Notes hereunder. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuers to the Trustee under Section 7.07
and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (1)(B) of this Section 11.01, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. 

SECTION 11.02. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 11.01 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 Issuers acting as their own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto as set forth in the Registrar, of the principal, premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 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, any
Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and such series of Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Issuers have made
any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Notes of such series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

EXECUTION VERSION 
 2021
NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1 
 This 2021 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1, dated June 22, 2016 (this “2021 Notes
Supplemental Indenture”), is made and entered into among Diamond 1 Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco 1”), Diamond 2 Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco 2”
and, together with Finco 1, the “Fincos”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Base Indenture referred to below. 
 RECITALS 

A. Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture, dated June 22, 2016, among the Fincos and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture” and,
together with this 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) provides that, without the consent of Holders of any series of Notes, the Fincos and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to
establish the form or terms of Initial Notes of any series pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture. 
 B. The Fincos desire to issue
$1,625,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), and in connection therewith, the Fincos have duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this 2021
Notes Supplemental Indenture to set forth the terms and provisions of the 2021 Notes as required by the Base Indenture. This 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall supplement the Base Indenture insofar as it will apply only to the 2021 Notes
issued hereunder (and not to any other series of Notes). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants set
forth herein, the parties hereto agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, as follows for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the 2021 Notes: 

Section 1. 2021 Notes. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture, the terms and provisions of the 2021 Notes are as follows:

 (a) The title of the 2021 Notes shall be “5.875% Senior Notes due 2021.” 

(b) The 2021 Notes shall be initially limited to $1,625,000,000 aggregate principal amount. Subject to compliance with Section 4.09
of the Base Indenture, the Issuers may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2021 Notes, increase such aggregate principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue date, issue price
and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue. The 2021 Notes issued originally hereunder and any additional Notes of such series subsequently issued, shall be treated as a single class
for purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such
additional Notes of such series will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Initial Notes of such series. 
 (c) The price at
which the 2021 Notes shall be issued to the public is 100.000%. 
 (d) The Stated Maturity for the 2021 Notes shall be on June 15,
2021. The 2021 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments prior to the Stated Maturity. 

 (e) The rate at which the 2021 Notes shall bear interest shall be 5.875% per annum, as set forth
in Section 1 of the form of 2021 Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Interest on the 2021 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from June 22, 2016; provided that
the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2016. Each June 15 and December 15 in each year, commencing December 15, 2016, shall be an Interest Payment Date for the 2021 Notes. The June 1 or December 1
(whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the Record Date for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, even if such 2021 Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on
or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at a rate equal to the interest rate on the 2021 Notes to the extent lawful,
and the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 (f) Payments of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2021 Notes represented by one or more Global Notes initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) or its nominee with respect to the 2021 Notes
shall be made by the Issuers through the Trustee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be. 
 (g)
The 2021 Notes shall be redeemable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 2 hereof and (to the extent they do not conflict with Section 2 hereof) the terms and provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture. 

(h) There shall be no mandatory sinking fund for the payments of the 2021 Notes. 

(i) The 2021 Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Notes deposited with the Depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of
the Depositary. The 2021 Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this 2021 Notes Supplemental
Indenture. 
 (j) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the Trustee for the 2021 Notes. 

(k) Article 10 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2021 Notes. 

(l) To the extent not set forth otherwise herein, the provisions of Article 2 of the Base Indenture are applicable. 

Section 2. Optional Redemption of the 2021 Notes. 

(a) At any time prior to June 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the 2021 Notes,
upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus the 2021 Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders of 2021 Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date. 

(b) On and after June 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part,
upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the 2021 Notes to 

  
 -2- 

 
be redeemed) set forth in this Section 2(b), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of each of the years indicated below: 

 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2018
	  	 	102.938	% 
	 2019
	  	 	101.469	% 
	 2020 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (c) At any time prior to June 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option, upon notice as described in Section
3.03 of the Base Indenture, on one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes (including Additional Notes of such series) issued under the Indenture at a Redemption Price (as calculated by Covenant Parent)
equal to (i) 105.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof (the “2021 Equity Claw Redemption Amount”), with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings to the extent such net cash
proceeds are received by or contributed to an Issuer, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on
the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date; provided that (a) at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes originally issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date (but excluding
any Additional Notes of such series issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (b) each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of each such
Equity Offering; provided, further, that the aggregate of the 2021 Equity Claw Redemption Amount and the 2024 Equity Claw Redemption Amount (as defined in the 2024 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of June 22, 2016, among
the Fincos and the Trustee) shall not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds from an Equity Offering being used to effect a redemption in connection therewith. 

(d) In connection with any tender offer for the 2021 Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
2021 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2021 Notes in such tender offer and the Issuers, or any third party approved in writing by Covenant Parent making such tender offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchases all of the 2021 Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem (with respect to
the Issuers) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all 2021 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to each other Holder in such tender offer (which may be less than par) plus, to the extent not
included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date or purchase date, subject to the right of Holders of the 2021 Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest
due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date or purchase date. 
 (e) A notice of redemption need
not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. 
 Any redemption pursuant to this Section 2 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Base Indenture. 

  
 -3- 

 Section 3. Definitions. 

(a) “2021 Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any 2021 Note on any Redemption Date, the greater of: 

 

	 	(1)	1.0% of the principal amount of such 2021 Note; and 

  

	 	(2)	the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such Redemption Date of (i) the redemption price of such 2021 Note at June 15, 2018 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 2(b)
herein), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such 2021 Note through June 15, 2018 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the Redemption Date), computed by Covenant Parent on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the 2021 Treasury Rate as of such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the principal amount of such 2021 Note. 

Calculation of the 2021 Applicable Premium will be made by Covenant Parent and such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty
or obligation of the Trustee. 
 (b) “2021 Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by Covenant Parent, as of any Redemption Date,
the yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at
least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to June 15, 2018;
provided, however, that if the period from such Redemption Date to June 15, 2018 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be
used. 
 Section 4. Governing Law. THIS 2021 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 5. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this 2021 Notes
Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
 Section 6.
Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of 2021 Notes. The recitals contained herein and in the 2021 Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Fincos, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture or of the 2021 Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Issuers of 2021 Notes or the proceeds thereof.
