Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 9, 2016, GameStop Corp. (the “Company”) closed its previously announced offering of $475 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% unsecured senior notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The sale of the Notes resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $466.4 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use these net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which will likely include acquisitions and, potentially, dividends and stock buybacks.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of March 9, 2016 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.75% and will pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on each March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2016. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2021. At any time prior to March 15, 2018, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus an applicable make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to March 15, 2018, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Notes at a redemption price of 106.750% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings so long as the redemption occurs within 120 days of completing such equity offering and at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding after such redemption. On and after March 15, 2018, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 105.063% for the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2018, 103.375% for the twelve-month period beginning March 15, 2019 and 100.000% beginning on March 15, 2020, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Company has exercised its optional redemption right in respect of the Notes, the holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that are borrowers under, or guarantee, the Company’s asset-based facility and its 5.50% senior unsecured notes due 2019. The Notes and related guarantees will be the Company’s general unsecured senior obligations and will be subordinated to all of its and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. In addition, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.

The Indenture restricts the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, its capital stock; (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment to the Notes; (iv) make loans and certain investments; (v) sell assets; (vi) incur liens; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. During any time when the Notes are rated investment grade by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and the Company and its subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period.

The Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable. These amounts automatically become due and payable if an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs.

Copies of the Indenture and of the form of Notes are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Indenture and the Notes in this Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Indenture and the Notes.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 4, 2016, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the several initial purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers the Notes. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On March 7, 2016, the Company entered into a first supplemental indenture to the indenture dated as of September 24, 2014, by and among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein and the Trustee. A copy of the first supplemental indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

(A)if the Holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

(B)if the Holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

and, in each such case set forth in this Section 2.06(b)(iv), if the Registrar or the Issuer 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 this Section 2.06(b)(iv) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, 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 this Section 2.06(b)(iv).

(v)Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes for Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes Prohibited. Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.

(c)Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

(d)Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, then such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(e)General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

(ii)No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.12, 4.17 and 9.05 hereof).

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

(iv)Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption 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.

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

(vi)The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(vii)All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

(viii)The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Issuer and to act in accordance with such letter.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if a Holder of a Note claims that any Note has been destroyed, lost or stolen and the Issuer receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s and the Issuer’s requirements are met, including the requesting Holder satisfying the requirements of the Trustee and the Issuer within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such destruction, loss or theft, and the Registrar shall not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements of replacing such Note).

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note had become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer (but shall not be an Incurrence of Debt) and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.

(a)The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or its Affiliate holds the Note.

(b)If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer.

(c)If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

(d)If the Paying Agent holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and interest, if any, on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes; provided that such Definitive Notes issued in replacement for the temporary Notes shall not be an Incurrence of Debt. Until such exchange, holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.

Section 2.11. Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. Upon direction of the Issuer, the Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or redeemed or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of cancelled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.12. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest.

Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note is being registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest, if any, on the Notes, it 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 and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer 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. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at

the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Issuer, in issuing the Notes, may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, 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 a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.14. Issuance of Additional Notes.

The Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, however, that any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall have a separate CUSIP and/or ISIN number.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in a Board Resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(a)the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(b)the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; and

(c)whether such Additional Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof and paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 60 days before a redemption date unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall, if so canceled, be void and of no effect.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time and such Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall select (or cause to be selected) the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. If such Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, the Trustee will select such Notes for redemption in compliance with the requirements of such exchange. In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture) before a redemption date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number) and shall state:

(a)the redemption date;

(b)the redemption price or, if the redemption is made pursuant to Section 3.07(b) or Section 3.07(c), a calculation or formula for calculation of the redemption price;

(c)if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

(f)that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(g)the paragraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(h)that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

At the Issuer’s direction, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee,

at least 60 days, or such shorter period allowed by the Trustee, prior to the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate directing the Trustee to give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Such notice, if mailed or otherwise provided in the manner provided by Section 3.03, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes (or portions of Notes) to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed.

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

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

(a)Except as set forth in paragraph (b) or (c) below, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to March 15, 2018. On or after such date, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (except that redemption notices may be provided more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture), at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that

is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:



Year	Redemption Price
2018	105.063%
2019	103.375%
2020 and thereafter	100.000%

(b)In addition, at any time on or prior to March 15, 2018, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 106.750% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with the net cash proceeds of any one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

(i)at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(ii)the redemption occurs within 120 days of the closing of such Equity Offering.

(c)At any time on or prior to March 15, 2018, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (except that redemption notices may be provided more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture), mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium then in effect, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of the redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date) (the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”).

Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption.

The Issuer shall not be required to make any sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. Except as provided in Section 4.12 or 4.17, the Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or repurchase with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09. Offer To Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

(a)In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof, the Issuer shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below.

(b)The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement, 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 Issuer shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer

Amount has been tendered, all Notes 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.

If the Purchase Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

Upon the commencement of the Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, a notice to the Trustee and 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. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(i)that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.12 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;

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

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

(iv)that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest, if any, after the Purchase Date;

(v)that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only;

(vi)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” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the expiration of the Offer Period;

(vii)that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, 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;

(viii)that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof shall be purchased); and

(ix)that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 hereof.

The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

(b)The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c)The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office, drop facility or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 4.03. Reports.

(a)So long as the Notes are outstanding, whether or not the Issuer is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall electronically file with the Commission, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) if the Issuer were so subject, and such documents shall be filed with the Commission on or prior to the respective dates (after giving effect to any extensions under Rule 12b-25 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act) (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the Issuer would be required so to file such documents if the Issuer were so subject, unless, in any case, if such filings are not then permitted by the Commission.

(b)If such filings with the Commission are not then permitted by the Commission, or such filings are not generally available on the Internet free of charge, the Issuer shall, within 15 days of each Required Filing Date, transmit by mail to Holders of the Notes, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, and file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Issuer were subject to such Section 13(a) or 15(d), and promptly upon written request, supply copies of such documents to any prospective holder or beneficial owner at the Issuer’s cost. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(c)So long as any Notes remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate.

to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

(b)The Issuer shall comply with TIA Section 314(a)(2).

(c)The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05. Taxes.

The Issuer shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies; provided that neither the Issuer nor any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Issuer covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07. Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

(i)the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Debt after the Issue Date that is subordinated by its terms to any other Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such Debt is subordinated by its terms

to the Notes to at least the same extent and for so long as it is subordinated to such other Debt; and

(ii)accrual of interest, fees, expenses, charges, premiums and additional or contingent interest on Permitted Debt, accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Debt will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 4.09.

(e)Debt permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting such Debt.

(f)For purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this Section 4.09, Guarantees, Liens, obligations with respect to letters of credit and other obligations supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount will not be included.

(g)For purposes of determining compliance with any dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, with respect to any Debt which is denominated in a foreign currency, the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Debt Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Debt was Incurred, and any such foreign denominated Debt may be Refinanced or subsequently Refinanced in an amount equal to the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Debt on the date of such Refinancing whether or not such amount is greater or less than the dollar-equivalent principal amount of the Debt on the date of initial Incurrence.

Section 4.10. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a)The Issuer shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment,

(d)For purposes of this Section 4.10, any payment made on or after the Existing Notes Issue Date, but prior to the Issue Date, shall be deemed to be a “Restricted Payment” to the extent such payment would have been a Restricted Payment had this Indenture been in effect at the time of such payment (and, to the extent that such Restricted Payment was permitted by the first paragraph above or clauses (b)(i) through (b)(xii) of this Section 4.10 or as a Permitted Investment, such Restricted Payment may be deemed by the Company to have been made pursuant to such clause).

Section 4.11. Limitation on Liens.

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) on Property owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired to secure Debt without making, or causing such Restricted Subsidiary to make, effective provision for securing the Notes (and, if the Issuer so determines, any other Debt of the Issuer which is not subordinate to the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee) equally and ratably with such Debt as to such Property so long as such Debt is so secured.

Section 4.12. Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a)The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

(i)the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Property subject to such Asset Sale; and

(ii)at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of

(A)cash or cash equivalents;

(B)notes or obligations that are converted into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 90 days of such Asset Sale;

(C)the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee) as a result of which the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities; or

(D)Additional Assets.

(b)The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):

(i)to permanently Repay (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) (1) Bank Obligations, (2) any Secured Debt or (3) Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(ii)to acquire or reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary);

(iii)to the extent the Net Available Cash is from Asset Sales of Property of a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary, to Repay Debt of any Foreign Restricted Subsidiary; or

(iv)a combination of the Repayments and reinvestments permitted by the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).

(c)Any Net Available Cash from Asset Sales in the aggregate not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

(d)When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer”) the Notes, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds (as defined below) (rounded to the nearest $1,000), on a pro rata basis according to principal amount (of a minimum $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Excess Proceeds remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all Holders of Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their Notes for purchase in accordance with this Indenture, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose not restricted by this Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

(e)The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” shall mean the product of:

(i)the Excess Proceeds, and

(ii)a fraction,

(A)the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Asset Sale Offer, and

(B)the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Asset Sale Offer and the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Issuer outstanding on the date of the Asset Sale Offer that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the Asset Sale Offer.

(f)Within five Business Days after the Issuer is obligated to make an Asset Sale Offer as described in the preceding paragraph, the Issuer shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders of Notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as the Issuer in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to such Asset Sale Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the Purchase Date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.

(g)Pending final application of the Net Available Cash from Asset Sales or Excess Proceeds, as applicable, as provided under this Indenture, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash from Asset Sales or Excess Proceeds, as applicable, in Temporary Cash Investments.

(h)The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with any repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.12, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.13. Limitation on Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(ii)make any loans or advances to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

(iii)transfer any of its Property to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary.

(b)The foregoing limitations will not apply:

(i)with respect to clauses (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.13, to:

(B)restrictions relating to Debt or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary and existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Issuer, and any amendments, restatements, renewals or other modifications of these instruments, provided that the encumbrances or restrictions contained in any such amendments, restatements, renewals or other modifications, taken as a

whole, are not materially more restrictive than the encumbrances or restrictions contained in documents in effect on the date of acquisition;

(C)restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(D)restrictions that result from the Refinancing of Debt Incurred pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (E) of this Section 4.13(b)(i); provided such restrictions are no less favorable to the Holders of Notes than those under the agreement evidencing the Debt so Refinanced;

(E)any other agreement governing Debt entered into after the Issue Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors;

(F)any restrictions applicable only to Foreign Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(G)Liens securing obligations otherwise permitted to be Incurred under the provisions of the covenants described under Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(ii)with respect to clause (a)(iii) of this Section 4.13 only, to restrictions:

(A)relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.09 and Section 4.11 of this Indenture only to the extent that such restrictions limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing such Debt;

(B)encumbering Property at the time such Property was acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as such restriction relates solely to the Property so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition;

(C)resulting from customary restrictions contained in asset sale, stock purchase, merger or other similar agreements limiting the transfer of such Property pending the closing of such sale;

(D)resulting from restrictions relating to the common stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(E)resulting from encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(F)resulting from encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(I)imposed under any Purchase Money Debt or Capital Lease Obligation in the ordinary course of business with respect only to the Property the subject thereof.

Section 4.14. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i)the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer;

(ii)if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $25.0 million, the Board of Directors (including at least a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves such Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a)(i) of this Section 4.14 as evidenced by a Board Resolution promptly delivered to the Trustee; and

(iii)if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $50.0 million, the Issuer obtains a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into or suffer to exist the following Affiliate Transactions:

(i)any transaction or series of transactions between the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(ii)any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof or any Permitted Investment;

(iii)the payment of compensation (including awards or grants in cash, securities or other payments) for the personal services of officers and directors of the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries entered into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business or, if not entered into in the ordinary course of business, that the Board of Directors in good faith shall have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or thereafter to be performed for such compensation to be fair consideration therefor;

(iv)payments made by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business pursuant to employment agreements, collective bargaining agreements, employee benefit plans, officer or director indemnification agreements or arrangements for employees, officers or directors, including health and life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans, directors’ and officers’ indemnification agreements and retirement or savings plans, stock option, stock ownership and similar plans and the entering into of such agreements and plans by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

(v)transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) that is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, Capital Stock of, or controls, such Person;

(vi)loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice not to exceed $5 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

(vii)transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), materially no less favorable to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(viii)the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Issuer;

(ix)any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date or any amendment to any such agreement or arrangement (so long as such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

(x)the granting and performance of registration rights for shares of Capital Stock of the Issuer if approved by the Board of Directors; and

(xi)a merger or consolidation of the Issuer with an Affiliate that is permitted under Article 5.

Section 4.15. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a)As of the Issue Date, there are no Unrestricted Subsidiaries. After the Issue Date, the Issuer may designate any Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than a Subsidiary of the Issuer which owns Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Designation”) only if:

(i)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and

(ii)the Issuer would be permitted under this Indenture to make an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the sum of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary owned by the Issuer and/or any of the

Restricted Subsidiaries on such date and (B) the aggregate amount of Debt of such Subsidiary owed to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries on such date.

(b)In the event of any such Designation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment in the Designation Amount pursuant to Section 4.10 for all purposes of this Indenture.

(c)The Issuer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:

(1)provide direct or indirect credit support for or a guarantee of any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking agreement or instrument evidencing such Debt);

(2)be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(3)be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary),

except, in each of (1), (2) or (3), to the extent permitted under Section 4.10.

(d)The Issuer may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”), whereupon such Subsidiary shall then constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, if:

(1)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time and after giving effect to such Revocation; and

(2)all Liens and Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.

(e)All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

Section 4.16. Guarantees by Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)Each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that Guarantees any other Debt of the Issuer in an amount in excess of $25.0 million or becomes a borrower, obligor or guarantor under the Senior Credit Facility must promptly execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E providing for a full and unconditional Guarantee of the payment of the Notes; provided that this paragraph shall not be applicable to:

(1)any Guarantee of any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and was not Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; or

(2)any Guarantee arising under or in connection with performance bonds, indemnity bonds, surety bonds and letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances.

If the Guaranteed Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any such Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes, as applicable, pursuant to a written agreement to that effect, the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Debt must be subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes to at least the extent that the Guaranteed Debt is subordinated to the Notes.

(b)Any Subsidiary Guarantee shall provide by its terms that it will be released upon:

(1)the sale of the Capital Stock of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture such that it is no longer a Subsidiary of the Issuer,

(2)the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture,

(3)the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the obligations on all Debt of the Issuer (other than a discharge on payment thereof) and such Guarantor is no longer an obligor on the Senior Credit Facility,

(4)the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, or

(5)upon discharge of this Indenture or a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under the terms of this Indenture.

so long as in the case of clause (b)(1) and (2) of this Section 4.16, any Subsidiary Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of Debt of the Issuer or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) is fully and unconditionally released prior thereto or simultaneously therewith.

Section 4.17. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control.

(a)Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price, in cash (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”), equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”) on a date that is not more than 90 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall not be obligated to purchase the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer in the event that it has mailed the notice to exercise its rights to redeem all of the Notes under Section 3.07 at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Offer.

No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuer has mailed a redemption notice with respect to all of the outstanding Notes in accordance with Section 3.07, the Issuer shall:

(i)cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow Jones News Service or similar business news service in the United States and

(ii)send, with a copy to the Trustee, or, at the Issuer’s request the Trustee shall send, by first-class mail, to each Holder, at such Holder’s address appearing in the securities register maintained in respect of the Notes by the Registrar (the “Security Register”) or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, a notice stating:

(A)that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.17 and that all Notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment;

(B)the Change of Control Purchase Price and the Change of Control Payment Date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no later than 90 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control;

(C)the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control; and

(D)the procedures that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

If the Change of Control Offer notice is sent prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, the Change of Control Offer shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Change of Control. The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.17, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.17 by virtue of such compliance.

(b)On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful,

(i)accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii)deposit with the applicable Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payments in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(iii)deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, the Notes so accepted with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer.

The applicable Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to each Holder of Notes validly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(c)If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered, at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

(d)Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction that does not involve a Change of Control.

(e)The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes a Change of Control Offer at the same or higher purchase price, at the same times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer otherwise required to be made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.18. Covenant Suspension.

(a)During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture:

(1) Section 4.09;

(2) Section 4.10;

(3) Section 4.12;

(4) Section 4.13;

(5) Section 4.14;

(6) Section 4.15; and

(7) Section 5.01(a)(iv)

(collectively, the “Specified Covenants”). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Asset Sale Proceeds shall be set at zero.

(b)If, after a Covenant Suspension Event, either of the Rating Agencies withdraws its rating or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings such that both Rating Agencies at such time shall not have assigned to the Notes an Investment Grade Rating or a Default or Event of Default

occurs and is continuing, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Specified Covenants, compliance with the Specified Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.10 as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date and Excess Proceeds from an Asset Sale shall only include proceeds from any Asset Sale consummated at the time the Specified Covenants were in effect and not proceeds from any Asset Sale consummated during the time that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Specified Covenants; provided, however, that there will not be deemed to have occurred a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Specified Covenants during the time that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Specified Covenants (or upon termination of the suspension period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the suspension period).

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

Each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(i) failure to make the payment of any interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for a period of 30 days;

(ii) failure to make the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, any of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise;

(iii) failure to comply with the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof;

(iv) failure to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 4.17;

(v) failure to make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 4.12;

(vi) failure to comply with any other covenant or agreement in the Notes or in this Indenture (other than a failure that is the subject of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v)) and such failure continues for 60 days after written notice is given to the Issuer as provided below;

(vii) the occurrence of a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Debt by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or any Debt Guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary does not perform its payment obligations under such Guarantee within any grace period provided for in the documentation governing such Guarantee), whether such Debt or Guarantee exists on the Issue Date or is thereafter created, which default (a) constitutes a Payment Default or (b) results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its Stated Maturity, and in each of clause (a) and (b), the principal amount of any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt under which there has been a Payment Default or that has been so accelerated, aggregates $50 million or more;

(viii) one or more judgments or orders that exceed $50 million in the aggregate (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 30 days of being entered;

(ix) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary insolvency proceeding;

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary insolvency proceeding;

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; provided, however, that the liquidation of any Significant Subsidiary into another Restricted Subsidiary or the Issuer other than as part of a credit reorganization, shall not constitute an Event of Default under this clause (ix);

(x) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its Property;

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its Property;

(D) grants any similar relief under any foreign laws;

and in each such case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days;

(xi) any Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes by a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantee) or any such Significant Subsidiary Guarantee denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

A Default under clauses (vi) and (vii) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding notify the Issuer of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than those of the type described in Section 6.01(ix) or (x) with respect to the Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, or at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, the Trustee may, declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration, by notice in writing to the Issuer specifying the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a notice of acceleration (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

In case of an Event of Default under either clause (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Issuer, such amount with respect to all the Notes shall be due and payable

immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (by notice to the Trustee) may rescind and annul that declaration and its consequences if:

(a)the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(b)all existing Defaults and Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of, premium or interest on the Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived;

(c)to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (at the same rate specified in the Notes) on overdue installments of interest and overdue payments of principal which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration has been paid;

(d)the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustee), disbursements and advances; and

(e)in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(ix) or (x), the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive by consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) any then existing or potential Default, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

Subject to Section 7.01, Section 7.02(f) (including the Trustee’s receipt of the security or indemnification described therein) and Section 7.07, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any

proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

No Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy hereunder, unless:

(a)such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default,

(b)Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made a written request and offered reasonable indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and

(c)the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days.

provided, however, that the limitations in this Section 6.06 shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note as set forth in Section 6.07.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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 (i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due and owing (together with 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.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its Property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of

creditors appointed in such matter and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that any such compensation, expenses and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, moneys, securities and any other Properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

(a)In case an Event of Default which the Trustee has, or is deemed to have, notice hereunder shall have occurred and be 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.

(2)in the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, 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 or otherwise verify the contents thereof).

(e)Except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information in any prospectus or other disclosure material distributed with respect to the Notes.

Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee.

Subject to Section 7.01:

(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 any such document. Any facsimile signature of any Person on a document required or permitted in this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee shall constitute a legal, valid and binding execution thereof by such Person.

(b)Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(f)The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g)The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Issuer or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture and, in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists.

shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal, the defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and final payment of the Notes.

(l)The right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.

(m)The Trustee may request that the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate 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 and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the 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 Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default has since been cured. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2017, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in

accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Issuer and the Trustee shall agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) or any predecessor Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (“losses”) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder, unless the Issuer has been prejudiced by such failure to notify. The Issuer shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Notes.

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

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

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b) to the extent applicable.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days prior notice to the Issuer and shall be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(a)the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof or TIA Section 310;

(b)the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(c)a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its Property; or

(d)the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Issuer in the case of the Trustee for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person 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 (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary of which is a bank or trust company having 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 TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b).

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.

The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”) and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee. For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a), (b), (c) and (d) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. If the Issuer exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in (a) Section 4.09

through Section 4.18 hereof, (b) Section 5.01(a)(iii) and (iv) and Section 5.01(b) hereof, and (c) clause (iv), (v), (vii), (viii) or (xi), solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries, clauses (ix) or (x), and clause (vi) (to the extent it relates to covenants that have become inapplicable as a result of this Section 8.03) of Section 6.01 hereof, in each case with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”) and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with such outstanding Notes and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer 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 under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Issuer exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or (v), in clause (vi) (with respect to the covenants contained in Section 4.09 through Section 4.18 hereof), (vii), (viii), (ix) or (x) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries in the case of clauses (ix) and (x)) or clause (xi) of Section 6.01 hereof or because of the Issuer’s failure to comply with clauses (a)(iii) and (iv) and clause (b) of Section 5.01.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes.

To exercise Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a)the Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, irrevocably in trust with the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders, money or U.S. Government Obligations, or any combination thereof, in such amount, and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations, as will be sufficient, as stated in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(b)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto;

(c)such deposit shall not constitute a default under any other agreement or instrument binding on the Issuer;

(d)in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(1) the Issuer has received from the Internal Revenue Service a private letter ruling; or

(2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in any applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon, such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including withholding 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;

(e)in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Notes 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 U.S. federal income tax (including withholding 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; and

(f)the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, have been complied with as required by this Indenture.

Section 8.05. Deposited Cash and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any cash or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, based on an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06. Repayment to Issuer.

Any cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on

its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer.

Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

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

(j)make any change in the provisions of this Article 9 which require the consent of each Holder or in the waiver provisions; or

(k)release any Subsidiary from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes or this Indenture other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture relating to the release of Subsidiary Guarantors of the Notes.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 120 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement 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 Issuer shall mail to the Holder of each Note affected thereby to such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof 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 or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its or portion thereof 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.

Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon 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 amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).

ARTICLE 11

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 11.01. Subsidiary Guarantee.

Subject to this Article 11, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will 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 will 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 Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

The Subsidiary 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 the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, such Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

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

Section 11.02. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor will not exceed, and will be considered limited to, the maximum amount that 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 Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.03. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee.

To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, on the Issue Date, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee on any Note.

If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

In the event that any Subsidiary is required by Section 4.16 hereof to become a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Issue Date, the Issuer shall cause such Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E in accordance with this Article 11.

Section 11.04. Releases.

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released under the circumstances set forth in Section 4.16(b) hereof.

Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.

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

1. Interest. GAMESTOP CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.75% per annum until maturity. The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, however, that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2016. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time at the interest rate then in effect under the Indenture and this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment. The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose or may be made by check mailed to the registered address of the Holders. Additionally, at the option of the Issuer, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holders that shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be 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.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 9, 2016 (“Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of

the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”).

6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

7. Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make any sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. Except as provided in Section 4.12 or 4.17 of the Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or repurchase with respect to the Notes.

8. Repurchase at Option of Holder.
