 ANNEX I 

Capitalized terms used in this Annex I and not otherwise defined herein have the same definitions as in the Indenture referred to in the
Officers’ Certificate and Guarantors’ Officers’ Certificate of which this Annex I constitutes a part. 

(1)        The Securities of the series established hereby shall be known and designated as the 7.000%
Senior Notes due 2021 and are sometimes hereinafter called the “Notes.” 

(2)        The aggregate principal amount of the Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under
the Indenture is limited to $450,000,000, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 905 or 1107 of the Indenture;
provided, however, such series may be re-opened by the Company for the issuance of additional Notes of such series, so long as any such additional Notes have the same form and terms (other than date of issuance and the date from which
interest thereon shall begin to accrue), and carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes theretofore issued; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such series may not be reopened if the
Company has effected defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 402(2) or 402(3), respectively, of the Indenture or has effected satisfaction and discharge with respect to the Notes pursuant to
Section 401 of the Indenture; and provided, further, that no additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 (3)         The Notes are to be issuable only as
Registered Securities without Coupons. The Notes shall be initially issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more permanent global Notes deposited with or on behalf of and registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee (the
“Global Notes”). The initial depositary (the “Depositary”) for the Global Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company, the depositary arrangements shall be those employed by whoever shall be the Depositary with
respect to the Global Notes from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to make endorsements on any Global Notes to reflect any increases or decreases in the principal amount thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certificated Notes in
definitive form (“Certificated Notes”) may be issued in exchange for Global Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the seventh paragraph of Section 305 of the Original Indenture. 

(4)        The Notes shall be sold to the Underwriters at a price of 98.750% of the principal amount
thereof. 
 (5)        The Stated Maturity of the Notes on which the principal thereof is due and
payable shall be December 15, 2021. 
 (6)        The principal of the Notes shall bear
interest at the rate of 7.000% per annum from October 29, 2013 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”) of each year, commencing June 15, 2014, to the Persons in whose names such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1,
respectively, immediately prior to such Interest Payment Dates (each, a “Regular Record Date”) regardless of whether such Regular Record Date is a Business Day. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. No Additional Amounts shall be payable on the Notes. 

(7)         The Notes are redeemable, as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the
option of the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and in the 

  
 Annex I-1 

 
form of Note which appears as Annex II to the Officers’ Certificate and Guarantors’ Officers’ Certificate of which this Annex I constitutes a part. 

(8)        The Notes shall not be repayable or redeemable at the option of the Holders prior to the
Stated Maturity of the principal thereof (except in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event as specified in the form of Note which appears as Annex II to the Officers’ Certificate and Guarantors’ Officers’ Certificate of
which this Annex I constitutes a part and as provided in Article Five of the Indenture) and shall not be subject to a sinking fund or analogous provision. 

(9)        The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York is hereby designated as a Place of Payment
for the Notes. 
 (10)      The Company hereby appoints the Trustee, acting through the office of the Trustee
located at U.S. Bank National Association, 100 Wall Street, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10005, Attn: Corporate Trust Services, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company’s Office or Agency for the purposes specified in
Section 1002 of the Indenture; provided, however, subject to Section 1002 of the Indenture, the Company may at any time remove the Trustee as its Office or Agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York designated
for such purposes and may from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies for such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designation, so long as the Company shall at all times maintain an Office or Agency for such
purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. 
 (11)      The Notes shall be issued in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (12)      The principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable in Dollars. 
 (13)      Sections 402(2) and
402(3) of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes; provided that (i) the Company may effect defeasance and covenant defeasance pursuant to Sections 402(2) and 402(3), respectively, only with respect to all (and not less than all) of the
Outstanding Notes, and (ii) the only covenants that shall be subject to covenant defeasance shall be those expressly referred to in Section 402(3) of the Indenture. 

(14)      The Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for other securities. 

(15)      Anything in the Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, payments of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Global Notes shall be made by wire transfer. 
 (16)      To the
extent that any provision of the Indenture or the Notes provides for the payment of interest on overdue principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, then, to the extent permitted by law, interest on such overdue principal, premium,
if any, and interest shall accrue at the rate of interest borne by the Notes. 
 (17)      The Notes shall
have such other terms and provisions as are set forth in the form of Note attached as Annex II to the Officers’ Certificate and Guarantors’ Officers’ Certificate of which this Annex I constitutes a part, all of which terms and
provisions are incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Annex I as if set forth in full herein. 

(18)      As used in the Indenture with respect to the Notes and in the certificates evidencing the Notes, all
references to “premium” on the Notes shall mean any amounts (other than accrued interest) payable upon the redemption of any Notes in excess of 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. 

  
 Annex I-2 

 (19)      The Notes shall have the benefit of the Guarantees and
the Guarantors hereby confirm that the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all related Guaranteed Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantees and otherwise in accordance with and subject to the limitations
set forth in Article Sixteen of the Indenture. 
 (20)      The Company may, at its option, cause
(x) any Subsidiary to become a Guarantor, whether or not such Subsidiary is a Domestic Significant Subsidiary, and (y) any Subsidiary to continue as a Guarantor, notwithstanding the fact that such Subsidiary does not or ceases to qualify
as a Domestic Significant Subsidiary.

 KB Home 

7.000% Senior Notes due 2021 

KB Home, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($450,000,000) or such other principal amount as is
set forth on Schedule A hereto on December 15, 2021, and to pay interest thereon from October 29, 2013, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on June 15 and
December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June 15, 2014, and at Maturity, at the rate of 7.000% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest
on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the
Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the

of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as

 Payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note will be made at the Office or Agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States; and provided, further, that if this Note is a global Note registered in the name of a Depository or its nominee, then,
anything in the Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note shall be made by wire transfer. 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued
and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of January 28, 2004 (the “Original Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 28, 2004 (the

(herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on
the face hereof, initially limited (subject to exceptions provided in the Indenture and subject to the right of the Company to reopen such series for issuance of additional Securities of such series upon the terms and subject to the conditions
specified in the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to $450,000,000. 
 Payments of principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes are fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors on the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture. A Guarantor may be released from its obligations under

 Annex II-2 

 The Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or from time to time in part, at
the Company’s option on any date (each, a “Redemption Date”). Prior to September 15, 2021, the Redemption Price for the Notes to be redeemed will be equal to the greater of: (a) 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed, and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date) discounted to such
Redemption Date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in the case of both clause (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. On or after September 15, 2021 and until Maturity, the Redemption Price for the Notes to be redeemed will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
relevant Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of the
Indenture. 
 As used in this Note, the following terms have the meanings set forth below: 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes: 

 

	 	(a)	 the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to
constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Final Maturity Date for the Notes, yields for
the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or

  

	 	(b)	 if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the
rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury
Price for such Redemption Date. 

 The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the
applicable Redemption Date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” below, the term “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, the United States
Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Bankers as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice,
in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed. 

“Independent Investment Bankers” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (a) Citigroup
Global Markets Inc. and its successors, (b) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its 

  
 Annex II-3 

 
successors, (c) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and its successors and (d) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its successors or, if either such firm or any
successor to such firm, as the case may be, is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, the other firm exclusively or, if neither such firm or any successor to such firms, as the case may be, is willing or able to select the
Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes: 

 

	 	(a)	 the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, or 

  

	 	(b)	 if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (a) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and its successors,
(b) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its successors, (c) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and its successors, (d) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its successors (provided that for each of (a)-(d),
however, if such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Trustee, after consultation with the Company, will
substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer), and (d) one other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
Redemption Date for the Notes, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Final Maturity Date” means December 15, 2021. 

Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any Redemption Date
to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the Trustee will select, in such manner as it deems fair and appropriate, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed. Unless the
Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price (including, without limitation, interest, if any, accrued to the applicable Redemption Date), on and after the applicable Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption on such Redemption Date. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company
has exercised its option to redeem the Notes by notifying the Holders of Notes to that effect as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all
or any part (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased up to, but not including, the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, notice will be given to Holders of the
Notes describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30

  
 Annex II-4 

 
days and no later than 60 days from the date that notice is given or, if the notice is given prior to the Change of Control, no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date on
which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, other than in each case as may be required by law (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control,
state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date. 

On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all Notes or portions of
Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the Change of Control Offer; deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly tendered and accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. The Company will not be
required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and price and otherwise substantially in compliance with the requirements for an
offer made by the Company and the third party promptly purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control
Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 

To the extent that the provisions of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), or any other securities laws and regulations that are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes,
the Company may comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict. 

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following terms will be applicable: 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(1)        the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than to the
Company or one of its subsidiaries; 
 (2)        the consummation
of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; 

(3)        the Company’s consolidation with, or the
Company’s merger with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in either case, pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such
other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than pursuant to a transaction in which shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are
converted into or exchanged for, a 

  
 Annex II-5 

 
majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction, measured by voting power
rather than number of shares; 
 (4)        the first day on which a
majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors are not Continuing Directors; or 

(5)        the adoption by the Company’s board of directors of a
plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction (or series of related
transactions) will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clauses (1) or (2) above if the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (a) the direct or indirect holders of a
majority of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of a majority of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (b) the shares of
the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction are converted into or exchanged for a majority of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately after giving effect to such transaction. 

The term “person” is used in this definition as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

 “Continuing Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s board of
directors who (1) was a member of the Company’s board of directors on the date the Notes were issued, (2) was nominated for election to the Company’s board of directors with the approval of a committee of the board of directors
consisting of a majority of independent Continuing Directors or (3) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to the Company’s board of directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of the
Company’s board of directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of a proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection by
such member to such nomination). 
 “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than
“Baa3” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and “BBB-” (or the equivalent) by S&P, or, if applicable, the equivalent investment grade credit rating by any Substitute Rating Agency or Substitute Rating Agencies. 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or any successor thereto. 

“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P and (2) if any of Moody’s or
S&P ceases to rate the applicable Notes or fails to make a rating of the applicable Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a Substitute Rating Agency in lieu thereof. 

“Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered independently by each of the Rating Agencies and the
Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies, in each case on any day during the period (which period will be extended so long as either of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that, as a result of the Change
of Control, the rating of the Notes is under consideration for a possible downgrade) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control
and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control. 

  
 Annex II-6 

 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services,
a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or any successor thereto. 
 “Substitute Rating Agency”
means a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a
replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be. 
 “Voting Stock”
means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of that person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board
of directors of that person. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and accrued
and unpaid interest on the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights
and obligations of the Company and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series issued under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note, at the time, place and
rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Office or Agency of the Company maintained for the purpose in any place where
the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Notes are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in the denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of authorized denominations as requested by the Holders
surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture. 

  
 Annex II-7 

 Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company,
the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note shall be overdue, and none of the
Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Indenture
contains provisions whereby (i) the Company and the Guarantors may be discharged from their obligations with respect to the Notes (subject to certain exceptions) or (ii) the Company may be released from its obligations under specified
covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money and/or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, and satisfies certain other
conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to the Notes when (1) either (A) all Notes previously authenticated and
delivered have been delivered (subject to certain exceptions) to the Trustee for cancellation, or (B) all Notes (i) have become due and payable or (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or
(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year and, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest to the date of such deposit (if such Notes have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date
thereof, as the case may be, and (2) the Company satisfies certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under

by the Company or by the Executive under this Section 5 (other than termination pursuant to subsection (a)(i)) shall be communicated by a written notice from the Board or the Executive to the other indicating the specific termination provision
in this Agreement relied upon, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and specifying a Date of Termination which,
except in the case of Termination by reason of Disability or Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iii), respectively, shall be at least 90 days following the date of such notice (a “Notice of Termination”). In
the event of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 5(a)(iii), the Executive shall have the right, if the basis for such Cause is curable, to cure the same within 15 days following the Notice of Termination for Cause, and Cause shall not be
deemed to exist if the Executive cures the event giving rise to Cause within such 15 day period. In the event of Termination by the Executive for Good Reason pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv), the Company shall have the right, if the basis for such
Good Reason is curable, to cure the same within 15 days following the Notice of Termination for Good Reason, and Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist if the Company cures the event giving rise to Good Reason within such 15 day period. The
Executive shall continue to receive his Annual Base Salary, annual bonus and all other compensation and perquisites referenced in Section 4 through the Date of Termination. 

6. Severance Payments. 
 (a)
Termination for any Reason. In the event the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay the Executive (or his beneficiary in the event of his death) any unpaid Annual Base Salary that has
accrued as of the Date of Termination, any unreimbursed expenses due to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy and an amount equal to compensation for accrued but unused sick days and vacation days. The
Executive shall also be entitled to accrued, vested benefits under the Company’s benefit plans and programs as provided therein. The Executive shall be entitled to the additional payments and benefits described below only as set forth herein.

 (b) Termination without Cause, Resignation for Good Reason or Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. Subject to Sections
6(c) and (d) and the restrictions contained herein, in the event of the Executive’s Termination without Cause (pursuant to Section 5(a)(v)), Resignation for Good Reason (pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv)) or termination by reason of
death or Disability (pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) or (ii), respectively), 

 
the Company shall pay to the Executive the amounts described in subsection (a). In addition, subject to Section 6(c) and (d) and the restrictions contained herein, the Company shall do
all of the following: 
 (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or his beneficiary in the event of his death) an amount
equal to the “Severance Amount” described below. For purposes of this Agreement the Severance Amount is equal to the sum of: 

(A) 1.0 times his Annual Base Salary, and 

(B) 1.0 times the greater of (I) the total of all bonuses paid (or payable) to executive in respect of the fiscal year
ending immediately prior to the Date of Termination, excluding any bonuses that are extraordinary in nature (e.g., a transaction related bonus) or (II) the target bonuses for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination falls, determined in
accordance with the Company’s bonus program or programs, if any. 
 The Severance Amount as so determined shall be payable to the
Executive (or his beneficiary) in substantially equal installments of the 12 month period following the Date of Termination (the “Payment Period”) in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; 

(ii) The Company shall offer to the Executive continuation of any health plan coverage of the Executive in accordance with the
requirements of applicable law (e.g. COBRA coverage), at a monthly cost to the Executive that is not greater than the monthly cost that the Executive is being charged for such coverage or coverages as of the Date of Termination. The Company may
require the Executive to complete and file any election forms that are generally required of other employees to obtain COBRA coverage; and the Executive’s COBRA coverage may be terminable in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Benefits Provided Upon Termination of Employment. If the Executive’s termination or resignation does not constitute a
“separation from service,” as such term is defined under Code Section 409A, the Executive shall nevertheless be entitled to receive all of the payments and benefits that the Executive is entitled to receive under this Agreement on
account of his termination of employment. However, the payments and benefits that the Executive is entitled to under this Agreement shall not be provided to the Executive until such time as the Executive has incurred a “separation from
services” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. 
 (d) Payments on Account of Termination to a Specified Employee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 6(a) or 6(b), in the event that the Executive is determined to be a Specified Employee at the time of his termination of employment under this Agreement (or, if later, his “separation from
service” under Code Section 409A), to the extent that a payment, reimbursement or benefit under Section 6(b) is considered to provide for a “deferral of compensation” (as determined under Code Section 409A), then such
payment, reimbursement or benefit shall not be paid or provided until six months after the Executive’s separation from service, or his death, whichever occurs first. Any payments, reimbursements or benefits that are withheld under this
provision for the first six months shall be payable in a lump sum on the 181st day after such termination of employment (or, if later, separation from service). The restrictions in this Section 6(d) shall be interpreted and applied solely to
the minimum extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). Accordingly, payments, benefits or reimbursements under Section 6(B) or any other part of this Agreement may nevertheless be provided to Executive
with the six-month period following the date of Executive’s termination of employment under this Agreement (or, if later, his “separation from service” under Code Section 409A), to the extent that it would nevertheless be
permissible to do so under Code Section 409A because those payments, reimbursements or benefits are (i) described in Treasury Regulations Section 409A because those payments, reimbursements or benefits are (i) described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (i.e., payments within the limitations therein that are being made on account of an involuntary termination or termination for good reason, within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations), or
(ii) benefits described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) (e.g. health care benefits). 
 7. Competition; Nonsolicitation.

 (a) During the Term and, following any termination of Executive’s employment, for a period equal to (i) the Payment Period, in
the case of a termination of employment for which payments are made pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, or (ii) 24 months from the date of such termination in the event of a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive without Good
Reason, or a termination by the Company for Cause, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly engage in, or have any interest in, or manage or operate any person, firm, corporation, partnership or
business (whether as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise) that engages in any business (other than a business that constitutes less than 5% of the relevant entity’s net revenue
and a proportionate share of its operating income) which competes with any business of the Company or any entity owned by it anywhere in the world; provided, however, that the Executive shall be permitted to acquire a stock interest in such a
corporation provided such stock is publicly traded and the stock so acquired does not represent more than one percent of the outstanding shares of such corporation. 

 (b) During the Term and for a period of two years following any termination of the
Executive’s employment, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether as an owner, employee, service provider or otherwise, solicit or induce any person who is or was
employed by, or providing consulting services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the twelve-month period prior to the date of such termination, to terminate their employment or consulting relationship with the Company or any such
subsidiary. 
 (c) In the event the agreement in this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for
which it may be enforceable, and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. 

8. Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. 

(a) Except as required in the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or pursuant to subsection (c), the Executive shall,
in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for his benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity any confidential or proprietary
information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers,
customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment, except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this Section 8, or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such confidential or
proprietary information or trade secrets. The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them the foregoing matters are important, material and confidential proprietary information and trade secrets and affect the successful conduct of the
businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the Company). 
 (b) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with
the Company for any reason, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the
Company’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes and/or which contain proprietary information or trade secrets. 

(c) The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice
thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought and shall assist such counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process. 

9. Injunctive Relief. It is recognized and acknowledged by the Executive that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8 will cause
irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a
breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief. 

10. Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto which shall have accrued
hereunder prior to such expiration. 
 11. Binding on Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the
Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. 

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Ohio.

 13. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 14. Notices. Any
notice, request, claim, demand, document or other communication hereunder to any party shall be effective upon receipt (or refusal of receipt) and shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by telex, telecopy, or certified or registered
mail, postage prepaid, as follows: 
 (a) If to the Company, to: 

TransDigm Group Incorporated 
 The

 Attention:
W. Nicholas Howley, CEO and Chairman 
 (b) If to the Executive, to him at the address set forth below under his signature; 

or at any other address as any party shall have specified by notice in writing to the other party in accordance with this Section 14. 

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 16. Entire Agreement; Prior Employment Agreement. The terms of this Agreement, together with the
Equity Compensation Agreements are intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous
agreement. The parties further intend that this Agreement, and the aforementioned contemporaneous documents, shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any
judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement. 
 17. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be
modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Executive and the Chief Executive Officer. By an instrument in writing similarly executed, the Executive or the Company may waive compliance by the other party or
parties with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No
failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy or power provided herein or by law or in equity. 

18. No Inconsistent Actions. The parties hereto shall not voluntarily undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action inconsistent with
the provisions or essential intent of this Agreement. Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties hereto to act in a fair and reasonable manner with respect to the inte rpretation and application of the provisions of this Agreement. 

19. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted
before a panel of three arbitrators in Cleveland, Ohio, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction; provided,
however, that the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement and the
Executive hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without the necessity of the Company’s posting any bond; and provided further, that the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his
right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto shall bear its share of the fees and expenses of any arbitration
hereunder. 
 20. Indemnification and Insurance; Legal Expenses. During the Term and so long as the Executive has not breached any of his obligations
set forth in Sections 7 and 8, the Company shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission, and shall advance to the Executive reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking from the Executive to repay such advances if it shall be finally determined by a judicial decision which is not subject to further appeal that the
Executive was not entitled to the reimbursement of such fees and 

 
expenses) and he shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company shall elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers (“Directors and
Officers Insurance”) against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer or employee of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or his serving or having served any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Company (other than any dispute, claim or controversy arising under or relating to this Agreement).
The Company covenants to maintain during the Term for the benefit of the Executive (in his capacity as an officer and director of the Company) Directors and Officers Insurance providing customary benefits to the Executive.
