Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2010 among the Company, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time, Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication
Agent, and Comerica Bank, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Union Bank of California, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and together with all related documents executed or delivered pursuant thereto at any time (including, without limitation, all
mortgages, deeds of trust, guarantees, security agreements and all other collateral and security documents), in each case as such agreements may be amended (including any amendment and restatement thereof), supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, including any agreement or agreements extending the maturity of, refinancing, replacing or otherwise restructuring (including into two or more separate credit facilities, and including increasing the amount of available borrowings
thereunder) or adding Subsidiaries as additional borrowers or guarantors thereunder and all or any portion of the Indebtedness and other Obligations under such agreement or agreements or any successor or replacement agreement or agreements, and
whether by the same or any other agent(s), lender(s) or group(s) of lenders. 
 “Investment” means,
with respect to any Person, any direct or indirect advance, loan, guarantee of Indebtedness or other extension of credit or capital contribution by such Person to (by means of any transfer of cash or other Property to others or any payment for
Property or services for the account or use of others), or any purchase or acquisition by such Person of any Capital Stock, bonds, notes, debentures or other securities (including derivatives) or evidences of Indebtedness issued by, any other
Person. In addition, the Fair Market Value of the net assets of any Restricted Subsidiary at the time that such Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an “Investment” made by the Company in
such Unrestricted Subsidiary at such time. “Investments” shall exclude (1) extensions of trade credit or other advances to customers on commercially reasonable terms in accordance with normal trade practices or otherwise in the
ordinary course of business, (2) Interest Rate Protection Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business or as permitted hereunder, but only to the extent that the stated aggregate notional amounts of such Interest Rate Protection
Obligations do not exceed 105% of the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness to which such Interest Rate Protection Obligations relate and (3) endorsements of negotiable instruments and documents in the ordinary course of business. If
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of any Capital Stock of any direct or indirect Restricted Subsidiary of the Company such that, after giving effect to such sale or disposition, such Person is no longer a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, the Company will be deemed to have made an Investment on the date of any such sale or disposition equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Investments in such Restricted Subsidiary that were not sold
or disposed of. 
 “Priority Credit Facility Debt” means, collectively, (1) Indebtedness of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Agreement) secured by Liens not otherwise permitted under any of clauses (2) through (25), inclusive, of the definition of
“Permitted Liens,” and (2) other Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

“Unrestricted Subsidiary” means (1) any Subsidiary of the Company that at the time of
determination will be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary by the Board of Directors of the Company as provided below and (2) any Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Subsidiary of
the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as (a) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary is directly or indirectly liable pursuant to the terms of any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary; (b) no default with respect to any
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or otherwise) any holder of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to declare a default on such other Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to
be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated Maturity; and (c) such designation shall not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the Properties of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Permitted Lien);
provided, however, that with respect to clause (a), the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may be liable for Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) such liability constituted a Permitted Investment at the time of incurrence,
or (ii) the liability would be a Permitted Investment at the time of designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any such designation by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing a Board
Resolution with the Trustee giving effect to such designation. If at any time any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for
purposes of the Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred as of such date. The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving
effect to such designation, on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

  
 3 

 (d) Section 2.1 of the Indenture is further hereby amended to delete clause
(1) of the defined term “Permitted Liens” in its entirety and replace it with the following: 

(1) Liens securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes Priority Credit
Facility Debt; 
 (e) Section 2.2 of the Indenture is hereby amended to delete the references to the following defined
terms: “Affiliate Transaction,” “Payment Restriction,” “Permitted Indebtedness” and “Restricted Payment.” 

(f) Section 9.21 of the Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

Section 9.21 Covenant Suspension. Following any day (a “Suspension Date”) that
(a) the Notes have a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P and a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s (“Investment Grade Ratings”), (b) follows a date on which the
Notes do not have Investment Grade Ratings, and (c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the covenants described in
Section 9.17 (the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence, and on any subsequent
date the Notes fail to have Investment Grade Ratings, or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then immediately after such date (a “Reversion Date”), the Suspended Covenants will again be in effect with respect to future
events, unless and until a subsequent Suspension Date occurs. The period between a Suspension Date and a Reversion Date is referred to in this Indenture as a “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be
reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during any Suspension Period. During any Suspension Period, the Board of Directors of the Company may not
designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture. The Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notification upon the occurrence of a Suspension Date or a Reversion Date. 

Section 1.2 Effectiveness of Amendments. The amendments set forth in Section 1.1 hereof shall not
become effective until the Trustee shall have received from the Company written confirmation that the Company has accepted for exchange any and all of the Notes and other notes validly tendered on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
September 2, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the terms of the exchange offer and consent solicitation set forth in the Prospectus (collectively, the “Accepted Securities”), the Minimum Condition as defined in the Prospectus has been

provided, however, that with respect to clause (a), the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may be liable for Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) such liability constituted a Permitted Investment at the time of incurrence,
or (ii) the liability would be a Permitted Investment at the time of designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any such designation by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing a Board
Resolution with the Trustee giving effect to such designation. If at any time any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be

  
 - 3 - 

 
an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred as of such date. The Board of Directors of the Company may
designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving effect to such designation, on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(d) Section 2.1 of the Indenture is further hereby amended to delete clause (1) of the defined term “Permitted
Liens” in its entirety and replace it with the following: 
 (1) Liens securing Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes Priority Credit Facility Debt; 
 (e) Section 2.2 of the Indenture
is hereby amended to delete the references to the following defined terms: “Affiliate Transaction,” “Payment Restriction,” “Permitted Indebtedness” and “Restricted Payment.” 

(f) Section 9.21 of the Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

Section 9.21 Covenant Suspension. Following any day (a “Suspension Date”) that
(a) the Notes have a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P and a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s (“Investment Grade Ratings”), (b) follows a date on which the
Notes do not have Investment Grade Ratings, and (c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the covenants described in
Section 9.17 (the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence, and on any subsequent
date the Notes fail to have Investment Grade Ratings, or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then immediately after such date (a “Reversion Date”), the Suspended Covenants will again be in effect with respect to future
events, unless and until a subsequent Suspension Date occurs. The period between a Suspension Date and a Reversion Date is referred to in this Indenture as a “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be
reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during any Suspension Period. During any Suspension Period, the Board of Directors of the Company may not
designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture. The Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notification upon the occurrence of a Suspension Date or a Reversion Date. 

Section 1.2 Effectiveness of Amendments. The amendments set forth in Section 1.1 hereof shall not
become effective until the Trustee shall have received from the Company written confirmation that the Company has accepted for exchange any and all of the Notes and other notes validly tendered on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
September 2, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the terms of the exchange offer and consent solicitation set forth in the Prospectus (collectively, the “Accepted Securities”), the Minimum Condition as defined in the Prospectus has been
satisfied, and all holders of the Accepted Securities have received their applicable exchange consideration within the meaning of such term, and as provided for, in the Prospectus.
