The Exchange Notes:

We are offering to exchange:

• The terms of the new notes offered in the exchange offer are substantially identical to the terms of the old notes, except that the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act and certain transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the old notes do not apply to the new notes.

Material Terms of the Exchange Offer:

• The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2019, unless extended.

• Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it may be a statutory underwriter and that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such new notes. The Letter of Transmittal accompanying this prospectus states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.

• There is no existing public market for the old notes or the new notes. We do not intend to list the new notes on any securities exchange or quotation system.

Investing in the new notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or the accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Exchange Offer

Below is a summary of the material terms of the exchange offer. We are offering to exchange the new notes for the old notes. The terms of the new notes offered in the exchange offer are substantially identical to the terms of the old notes, except that the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act and certain transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the old notes do not apply to the new notes. For more information, see “The Exchange Offer,” which contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer.

Background On July 16, 2018, we completed a private placement of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026. On August 28, 2018, we completed a private placement of an additional $130,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026, and on March 5, 2019, we completed a private placement of an additional $270,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026. In total, we issued $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of old notes in the three private placements. In connection with each offering, we entered into substantially similar registration rights agreements with the initial purchasers of the old notes in which we agreed, among other things, to complete this exchange offer for the old notes.

Old Notes $900,000,000 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026 that have not been registered under the Securities Act.

New Notes $900,000,000 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026 that have been registered under the Securities Act.

The Exchange Offer We are offering to issue registered new notes in exchange for a like principal amount and like denomination of our unregistered old notes of the same series. We are offering to issue these registered new notes to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreements. You may tender your old notes for exchange by following the procedures described below and in the section entitled “The Exchange Offer” in this prospectus.

Expiration Date The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2019, unless we extend the exchange offer.

Procedures for Tendering If you decide to exchange your old notes for new notes, you must acknowledge that you are not engaging in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes. To tender old notes, you must complete and sign the letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in accordance with the instructions contained in it and forward it by mail, email, facsimile or hand delivery, as applicable, together with any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to the exchange agent, either with the old notes to be tendered or in compliance with the specified procedures for guaranteed delivery of old notes. Certain brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees may also effect tenders by book-entry transfer. Holders of old notes registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee are urged to contact such person promptly if they wish to tender old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. See

2

“The Exchange Offer—Exchange Offer Procedures,” “The Exchange Offer—Book-Entry Transfers” and “The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

Withdrawal You may withdraw any old notes that you tender for exchange at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. See “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights.”

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Issuance of New Notes Subject to certain conditions, we intend to accept for exchange any and all old notes that are properly tendered in the exchange offer before the expiration time. If we decide for any reason not to accept any old notes you have tendered for exchange, those old notes will be returned to you without cost promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. The new notes will be delivered promptly after the expiration time. See “The Exchange Offer—Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of New Notes Issued in the Exchange Offer.”

Conditions to the Exchange Offer The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, some of which we may waive in our sole discretion. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange. See “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

Consequences of Exchanging Old Notes Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as detailed in a series of no-action letters issued by the SEC to third parties, we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes that we issue in the exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you:

• acquire the new notes in the ordinary course of your business;

• are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes; and

• you are not an “affiliate” of Qorvo, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.

If any of these conditions is not satisfied and you transfer any new notes issued to you in the exchange offer without delivering a proper prospectus or without qualifying for a registration exemption, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We will not be responsible for or indemnify you against any liability you may incur. Any broker-dealer that acquires new notes in the exchange offer for its own account in exchange for old notes which it acquired through market-making or other trading activities must acknowledge that it may be a statutory underwriter and that it will deliver a prospectus when it resells or transfers any new notes issued in the exchange offer. See “The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Exchanging Old Notes” and “Plan of Distribution.”

3

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes All untendered old notes or old notes that are tendered but not accepted will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the old notes and in the Indenture (as defined under “Description of the New Notes”) under which the old notes were issued. In general, you may offer or sell your old notes only if they are registered under, or offered or sold under an exemption from, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not anticipate that we will register the old notes under the Securities Act. If you do not participate in the exchange offer, the liquidity of your old notes could be adversely affected. See “The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes.”

Interest on Old Notes Exchanged in the Exchange Offer On the record date for the first interest payment date for new notes offered hereby following the consummation of the exchange offer, holders of such new notes will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer You will not realize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of your exchange of old notes for new notes to be issued in the exchange offer. For additional information, see “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” You should consult your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences to you of the exchange offer, as well as tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the new notes.

Exchange Agent MUFG Union Bank, N.A. is serving as the exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. The address, email address and telephone and facsimile numbers of the exchange agent are listed in this prospectus. See “The Exchange Offer—The Exchange Agent.”

Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of new notes in the exchange offer. We will pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer. See “Use of Proceeds” and “The Exchange Offer—Fees and Expenses.”

The New Notes

The terms of the new notes are substantially identical to those of the old notes, except that the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions applicable to the old notes do not apply to the new notes. The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes and will be governed by the Indenture. Accordingly, the new notes and the old notes will be considered a single class of securities under the Indenture. A brief description of the material terms of the new notes follows. For a more complete description, see “Description of the New Notes.”

Issuer Qorvo, Inc.

Notes Offered $900,000,000 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026 that have been registered under the Securities Act.

4

Maturity The new notes will mature on July 15, 2026.

Interest Rates The new notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum.

Guarantees The new notes will be guaranteed, jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally (subject to certain customary release provisions), on a senior unsecured basis by our existing and future direct and indirect, 100%-owned, U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under our existing revolving credit facility, or any other material credit facility. The guarantees of the new notes are referred to herein as the “new guarantees.” See “Description of the New Notes—The Subsidiary Guarantors,” “Description of the New Notes—Subsidiary Guarantees” and “Description of the New Notes—Certain Covenants—Future Subsidiary Guarantors.”

Ranking The new notes and the new guarantees will be our and the guarantors’ respective, senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors’ present and future senior debt, including the obligations under our existing revolving credit facility, senior in right of payment to our and the guarantors’ present and future subordinated debt, and effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of our and the guarantors’ secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The new notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. See “Description of the New Notes—Ranking.”

Optional Redemption We will have the option to redeem some or all of the new notes at any time on or after July 15, 2021 at the redemption prices specified under “Description of the New Notes—Optional Redemption,” plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. We will also have the option to redeem some or all of the new notes at any time before July 15, 2021 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the new notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before July 15, 2021, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 105.500% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, with the proceeds from certain equity issuances. See “Description of the New Notes—Ranking.”

Change of Control Offer If we experience specific kinds of changes of control, we may be required to offer to repurchase all of the new notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. See “Description of the New Notes—Change of Control.”

Asset Sales If we sell certain assets, under certain circumstances we may be required to offer to purchase the new notes at 100% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. See “Description of the New Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.”

5

Certain Covenants The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of some of our subsidiaries to:

• incur additional debt;

• pay dividends, make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock;

• prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

• make loans and investments;

• sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;

• incur or permit to exist certain liens;

• enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;

• enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and

• consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

Form and Denominations We will issue the new notes in fully registered form, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each of the new notes will be represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). You will hold a beneficial interest in one or more of the new notes through DTC, and DTC and its direct and indirect participants will record your beneficial interest in their books. Except under limited circumstances, we will not issue certificated new notes.

Trustee MUFG Union Bank, N.A.

RISK FACTORS

We have included discussions of cautionary factors describing risks relating to our business and an investment in our securities in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Additional risks related to the new notes are described in this prospectus. Before tendering old notes in the exchange offer, you should carefully consider the risk factors we describe in this prospectus and in any report incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Any or all of these risk factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and/or financial condition and thus cause the value of the notes to decline. Furthermore, although we discuss key risks in the following risk factor descriptions, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business. Our subsequent filings with the SEC may contain amended and updated discussions of significant risks. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance.

Risks Related to the New Notes

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to service all of our debt, including the new notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our debt, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations, including the new notes, and to fund working capital, planned capital expenditures and expansion efforts and any strategic alliances or acquisitions we may make in the future depends on our ability to generate cash in the future and our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our debt, including the new notes.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may face liquidity issues and be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our debt, including the new notes. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service and other obligations. Additionally, the agreements governing our revolving credit facility and the term loan provided for thereunder, the indenture (the “2015 Indenture” and, together with the Indenture, the “Indentures”) governing our 7.00% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 notes”), and the Indenture limit the use of the proceeds from any disposition; as a result, we may not be allowed, under these documents, to use proceeds from such dispositions to satisfy our debt service obligations. Further, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our debt on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

The agreements and instruments governing our debt impose restrictions that may limit our operating and financial flexibility.

The credit agreement governing our existing revolving credit facility and the Indentures contain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit our ability to:

• incur additional debt;

• pay dividends, make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock;

• prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

• make loans and investments;

• sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;

• incur or permit to exist certain liens;

7

• enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;

• enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and

• consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

These covenants could have the effect of limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the markets in which we compete. In addition, our existing revolving credit facility requires us to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants. Operating results below current levels or other adverse factors, including a significant increase in interest rates, could result in our being unable to comply with the financial covenants contained in our existing revolving credit facility. If we violate covenants under our existing revolving credit facility and are unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders, our debt under our existing revolving credit facility would be in default and could be accelerated by our lenders. Because of cross-default provisions in the agreements and instruments governing our debt, a default under one agreement or instrument could result in a default under, and the acceleration of, our other debt. If our debt is accelerated, we may not be able to repay our debt or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or on terms that are acceptable to us. If our debt is in default for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, complying with these covenants may also cause us to take actions that are not favorable to holders of the new notes and may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy and compete against companies that are not subject to such restrictions.

Our debt could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the new notes.

As of December 29, 2018, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the repurchase of $67.6 million of our 2025 notes in February 2019 (the “2025 notes repurchase”) and the issuance of $270.0 million aggregate principal amount of old notes in March 2019 (the “March 2019 notes offering”), we had outstanding debt of approximately $918.7 million and we had an additional $600.0 million of availability under our existing revolving credit facility. Our debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

• make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations, including with respect to the new notes;

• increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings will be at variable rates of interest;

• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, joint ventures and investments and other general corporate purposes;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets in which we participate;

• limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements;

• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less debt; and

• limit our ability to borrow additional funds.

We expect to pay expenses and to pay principal and interest on current and future debt from cash provided by operating activities. Therefore, our ability to meet these payment obligations will depend on future financial performance and cash availability, which is subject in part to numerous economic, business and financial factors beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay expansion plans and capital expenditures, sell material assets or operations, obtain additional capital or restructure our debt.

8

Despite our debt levels, we and our subsidiaries may still incur significant additional debt. Incurring more debt could increase the risks associated with our substantial debt.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional debt, including secured debt, in the future. The terms of the Indentures and our existing revolving credit agreement restrict, but do not completely prohibit, us from doing so. As of December 29, 2018, on an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to the March 2019 notes offering, we would have had approximately $600.0 million of undrawn availability under our existing revolving credit facility. In addition, the Indentures allow us to issue additional notes under certain circumstances, which will also be guaranteed by the guarantors. The Indentures also allow us to incur certain secured debt. The Indentures allow our non-guarantor subsidiaries, which include our foreign subsidiaries, to incur additional debt, which debt (as well as other liabilities at any such subsidiary) would be structurally senior to the new notes. In addition, the Indentures do not prevent us from incurring certain other liabilities that do not constitute indebtedness (as defined in the Indentures). If new debt or other liabilities are added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify.

The new notes will be structurally subordinated to all debt of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes.

You will not have any claim as a creditor against any of our existing or future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes. Debt and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will be structurally senior to your claims against those subsidiaries. In addition, subject to certain limitations, the credit agreement governing our existing revolving credit facility and the Indentures permit these subsidiaries to incur additional debt and do not contain any limitation on the amount of other liabilities, such as trade payables, that may be incurred by these subsidiaries. As of December 29, 2018, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $0.3 billion of total liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to the new notes and the new guarantees.

The new notes and the new guarantees will be effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured debt.

As of December 29, 2018, we had no outstanding secured debt. Our existing revolving credit facility and the Indentures allow us to incur certain secured debt. Obligations in respect of such secured debt will be effectively senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ obligations under the new notes and the new guarantees to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. In the event of a bankruptcy, claims by the holders of the new notes will, therefore, be effectively junior to claims by our creditors under such secured debt to the extent of the realizable value of the collateral securing such debt.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors.

The new notes initially will be guaranteed by certain of our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries. Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the debt evidenced by its guarantee:

• received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee; and

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of the guarantee; or

• was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

• intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.

9

In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

We may not be able to repurchase the new notes upon a change of control or pursuant to an asset sale offer, which would result in a default under the Indenture and would adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Upon a change of control triggering event, as defined under the Indenture, the holders of new notes will have the right to require us to offer to purchase all of the new notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The source of funds for any such purchase of the new notes will be our available cash or cash generated from operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. We may not be able to repurchase the new notes upon a change of control triggering event because we may not have sufficient financial resources, including the ability to arrange necessary financing on acceptable terms or at all, to purchase all of the new notes that are tendered upon a change of control triggering event. Our failure to offer to purchase all outstanding new notes or to purchase all validly tendered new notes would be an event of default under the Indenture. Such an event of default may cause the acceleration of our other debt. Our other debt also may contain restrictions on repayment requirements with respect to specified events or transactions that constitute a change of control triggering event under the Indenture.

In addition, in certain circumstances specified in the Indenture, we will be required to commence an Offer to Purchase (as defined in the Indenture) pursuant to which we must repay senior debt or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the notes equal to the Excess Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture). The purchase price of the new notes will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Our other debt may contain restrictions that would limit or prohibit us from completing any such Offer to Purchase. Our failure to purchase any such new notes when required under the Indenture would be an event of default under the Indenture.

An active trading market may not develop for the new notes, which would limit your ability to resell the new notes.

The new notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the new notes on any U.S. securities exchange or for quotation through an automated dealer quotation system. The liquidity of the trading market in the new notes and the market prices quoted for the new notes may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for this type of securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry generally. As a consequence, an active trading market may not develop for the new notes, you may not be able to sell the new notes, or, even if you can sell the new notes, you may not be able to sell them at an acceptable price.

10

A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to the new notes, if any, could cause the liquidity or market value of the new notes to decline.

Our debt currently has a non-investment grade rating, and there can be no assurance that any rating assigned by the rating agencies will remain for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency, if in that rating agency’s judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes, so warrant. Any lowering or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency could reduce the liquidity or market value of the new notes.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

Old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer and you may have difficulty selling any old notes not exchanged.

If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your old notes as described in the legend on the global notes representing the old notes. There are restrictions on transfer of your old notes because we issued the old notes under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may offer or sell the old notes only if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or offered and sold under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such registration requirements. We do not intend to register any old notes not tendered in the exchange offer, and upon consummation of the exchange offer, you will not be entitled to any rights to have your untendered old notes registered under the Securities Act. In addition, the trading market for the remaining old notes will be adversely affected depending on the extent to which old notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer. See “The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes.”

Some holders may need to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

In general, if you exchange your old notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes, you may be an underwriter and be deemed to have received restricted securities, in which case you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. Any broker-dealer that (1) exchanges its old notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes or (2) resells new notes that were received by it for its own account in the exchange offer may also be deemed to have received restricted securities and will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction by that broker-dealer and be identified as an underwriter in the applicable prospectus. Any profit on the resale of the new notes and any commission or concessions received by a broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

You must comply with the exchange offer procedures to receive new notes.

We will issue the new notes in exchange for your old notes only if you tender the old notes in compliance with the procedures set forth in “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Offer Procedures.” Such procedures require that you deliver a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, or transmit an “agent’s message,” and deliver other required documents before expiration of the exchange offer. You should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the necessary documents. Neither the exchange agent nor we are under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of old notes for exchange. If you are the beneficial holder of old notes that are registered in the name of your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you wish to tender in the exchange offer, you should promptly contact the person in whose name your old notes are registered and instruct that person to tender on your behalf. Old notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted by us for exchange will, following consummation of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions under the Securities Act, and upon

11

consummation of the exchange offer, certain registration and other rights under the registration rights agreements will terminate. See “The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes.”

12

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive proceeds from the issuance of the new notes offered hereby. In consideration for issuing the new notes in exchange for old notes as described in this prospectus, we will receive old notes of like principal amount. The old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and canceled.

13

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

General

When we issued the old notes on each of July 16, 2018, August 28, 2018 and March 5, 2019, we entered into substantially similar registration rights agreements among us, as issuer, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the initial purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreements”). Under the Registration Rights Agreements, we agreed to:

• file a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) with the SEC with respect to the exchange offer, to exchange the new notes for the old notes;

• use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the exchange offer on or prior to July 11, 2019 (or, in the case of the old notes issued on August 28, 2018, August 23, 2019), or the following business day in the event such date is not a business day; and

• keep the exchange offer open for at least 20 business days.

For each old note validly tendered pursuant to the exchange offer and not validly withdrawn by the holder thereof, the holder of such old note will receive in exchange a new note having a principal amount equal to that of the tendered old note. Interest on each new note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the old notes exchanged therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the old notes, from the date of the original issue of the old notes.

Shelf Registration

If the exchange offer is not consummated, under certain circumstances and within specified time periods provided for in the Registration Rights Agreements, we are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering resales of the old notes and related guarantees and to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective. In such instance, we would be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended until the earlier of one year following the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or the date when all of the old notes and related guarantees covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

Additional Interest on Old Notes

Subject to certain limitations, we will be required to pay the holders of the old notes additional interest (as determined in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements) on the old notes if:

• the exchange offer is not consummated on or prior to July 11, 2019 (or, in the case of the old notes issued on August 28, 2018, August 23, 2019) or the following business day in the event such date is not a business day;

• we fail to file any Shelf Registration Statement required by the Registration Rights Agreements on or before the date specified for such filing;

• any such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC (or does not become effective automatically) on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness; or

• any such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective during specified time periods.

If we fail to meet these targets (each, a “registration default”), as applicable, the annual interest rate on the old notes will increase by 0.25%. The annual interest rate on the old notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0% per year. If we cure the registration default, the interest rate on the old notes will revert to the original level.

14

This summary of the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the complete text of the Registration Rights Agreements entered into on July 16, 2018, August 28, 2018, and March 5, 2019, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

This prospectus and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal together constitute the exchange offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the Letter of Transmittal, we will accept for exchange old notes that are properly tendered and not withdrawn on or before the expiration date of the exchange offer. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the exchange offer open for at least 20 business days from the date notice of the exchange offer is mailed or sent to holders of the old notes. The expiration date of this exchange offer is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2019, or such later date and time to which we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer.

The form and terms of the new notes being issued in the exchange offer are the same as the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes being issued in the exchange offer:

• will have been registered under the Securities Act;

• will not bear the restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act that are contained in the old notes; and

• will not contain the registration rights and additional interest provisions that apply to the old notes.

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

• to extend the expiration date;

• to delay accepting any old notes due to any extension, if applicable, of the exchange offer;

• to terminate the exchange offer and not accept any old notes for exchange if any of the conditions set forth below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied; and

• to amend the exchange offer in any manner.

We will give written notice of any extension, delay, termination, non-acceptance or amendment as promptly as practicable by a public announcement, and in the case of an extension, no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. During an extension, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us. Any old notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned without cost to the holder that tendered them promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Exchange Offer Procedures

When the holder of old notes tenders and we accept old notes for exchange, a binding agreement between us and the tendering holder is created, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. Except as set forth below, a holder of old notes who wishes to tender old notes for exchange must, on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer:

• transmit a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including all other documents required by such Letter of Transmittal, to MUFG Union Bank, N.A., the exchange agent, at the address set forth under the heading “—The Exchange Agent” below; or

• if old notes are tendered pursuant to the book-entry procedures set forth below, the tendering holder must transmit an Agent’s Message (as defined below) to the exchange agent at the address set forth under the heading “—The Exchange Agent” below.

15

In addition, either:

• the exchange agent must receive the certificates for the old notes and the Letter of Transmittal;

• the exchange agent must receive, prior to the expiration date, a timely confirmation of the book-entry transfer of the old notes being tendered into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, along with the Letter of Transmittal or an Agent’s Message; or

• the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described under the heading “—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures” below.

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to and received by the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry transfer, referred to as a “Book-Entry Confirmation,” which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment that the tendering holder agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce the Letter of Transmittal against such holder.

The method of delivery of the old notes, the Letters of Transmittal and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the holder. If such delivery is by mail, we recommend registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. No Letters of Transmittal or old notes should be sent directly to us.

Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed unless the old notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

• by a holder of old notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the Letter of Transmittal; or

• for the account of an eligible institution.

An “eligible institution” is a firm which is a member of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

If signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantor must be an eligible institution. If old notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, the old notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by us in our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the holder’s signature guaranteed by an eligible institution.

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of old notes tendered for exchange in our sole discretion. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to:

• reject any and all tenders of any old note improperly tendered;

• refuse to accept any old note if, in our judgment or the judgment of our counsel, acceptance of the old note may be deemed unlawful; and

• waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular old note either before or after the expiration date, including the right to waive the ineligibility of any class of holder who seeks to tender old notes in the exchange offer.

Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular old notes either before or after the expiration date, including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions related thereto, will be final and binding on all parties. Holders must cure any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders of old

16

notes for exchange within such reasonable period of time as we will determine, unless we waive such defects or irregularities. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of old notes for exchange, nor will any such persons incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

If a person or persons other than the registered holder or holders of the old notes tendered for exchange signs the Letter of Transmittal, the tendered old notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate powers of attorney, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders that appear on the old notes.

If trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity sign the Letter of Transmittal or any old notes or any power of attorney, such persons should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us of such person’s authority to so act unless we waive this requirement.

By tendering old notes, each holder will represent to us that, among other things, the person acquiring new notes in the exchange offer is acquiring them in the ordinary course of its business, whether or not such person is the holder, and that neither the holder nor such other person has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes. If any holder or any such other person is an “affiliate” of ours or any subsidiary guarantor as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or is engaged in or intends to engage in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes, such holder or any such other person:

• may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties; and

• must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction and be identified as an underwriter in the applicable prospectus.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it may be a statutory underwriter and that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of New Notes Issued in the Exchange Offer

Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept, promptly after the expiration date, all old notes properly tendered and will issue new notes registered under the Securities Act. For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted properly tendered old notes for exchange when, as and if we have given oral or written notice to the exchange agent, with written confirmation of any oral notice to be given promptly thereafter. See “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” below for a discussion of the conditions that must be satisfied before we accept any old notes for exchange.

For each old note accepted for exchange, the holder will receive a new note registered under the Securities Act having a principal amount equal to, and in the denomination of, that of the surrendered old note. Accordingly, registered holders of new notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the old notes. Old notes that we accept for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of consummation of the exchange offer. Under the Registration Rights Agreements, we may be required to make additional payments in the form of additional interest to the holders of the old notes under circumstances relating to the timing of the exchange offer, as discussed under “—Additional Interest on Old Notes” above.

17

In all cases, we will issue new notes in the exchange offer for old notes that are accepted for exchange only after the exchange agent timely receives:

• certificates for such old notes or a timely Book-Entry Confirmation of such old notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC;

• a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or an Agent’s Message; and

• all other required documents.

If for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer we do not accept any tendered old notes, or if a holder submits old notes for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, we will promptly return such unaccepted or non-exchanged old notes without cost to the tendering holder. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, such non-exchanged old notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. We will return the old notes or have them credited to DTC promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Book-Entry Transfers

The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system must make book-entry delivery of old notes denominated in dollars by causing DTC to transfer the old notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer. Such participant should transmit its acceptance to DTC on or prior to the expiration date or comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. DTC will verify such acceptance, execute a book-entry transfer of the tendered old notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC and then send to the exchange agent confirmation of such book-entry transfer. The confirmation of such book-entry transfer will include an Agent’s Message confirming that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from such participant that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce the Letter of Transmittal against such participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Transmittal or facsimile thereof or an Agent’s Message, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must:

• be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under the heading “—The Exchange Agent” on or prior to the expiration date; or

• comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If a holder of old notes desires to tender such notes and the holder’s old notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit such holder’s old notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if:

• the holder tenders the old notes through an eligible institution;

• prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible institution a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form we have provided, by email or facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery, as applicable, setting forth the name and address of the holder of the old notes being tendered and the amount of the old notes being tendered. The notice of guaranteed delivery will state that the tender is being made and guarantee that within three business days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered old notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or Agent’s Message with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and

18

• the exchange agent receives the certificates for all physically tendered old notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or Agent’s Message with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, within three business days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery.

Withdrawal Rights

You may withdraw tenders of your old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective, you must send a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent at the address set forth under the heading “—The Exchange Agent” below. Any such notice of withdrawal must:

• specify the name of the person who tendered the old notes to be withdrawn;

• identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of such old notes; and

• where certificates for old notes are transmitted, specify the name in which old notes are registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder.

If certificates for old notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution unless such holder is an eligible institution. If old notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of such notices, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any tendered old notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any old notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be promptly returned to the holder of those old notes without cost to the holder. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, the old notes withdrawn will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the old notes. The old notes will be returned or credited to this account as soon as practicable after withdrawal or rejection of tender or promptly after termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn old notes may be re-tendered by following one of the procedures described above under the heading “—Exchange Offer Procedures” at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

We are not required to accept for exchange, or to issue new notes in the exchange offer for, any old notes. We may terminate or amend the exchange offer at any time before the expiration date if:

• the exchange offer would violate any applicable federal law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC;

• any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency challenging the exchange offer or that we believe might be expected to prohibit or materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer;

• any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to either (1) the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or (2) the qualification of the indenture governing the new notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”);

• any law, rule or regulation is enacted, adopted, proposed or interpreted that we believe might be expected to prohibit or impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or to materially impair the ability of holders generally to receive freely tradable new notes in the exchange offer;

19

• there is any change or a development involving a prospective change in our business, properties, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or results of operations taken as a whole, that is or may be adverse to us;

• there is any declaration of war, armed hostilities or other similar international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States, or the worsening of any such condition that existed at the time that we commence the exchange offer; or

• we become aware of facts that, in our reasonable judgment, have or may have adverse significance with respect to the value of the old notes or the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer.

The preceding conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition. We may waive the preceding conditions in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do so, the exchange offer will remain open for at least five business days following any waiver of the preceding conditions. Our failure at any time to exercise the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which we may assert at any time and from time to time.

Fees and Expenses

We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others for soliciting acceptance of the exchange offer except for reimbursement of mailing expenses. We will pay the cash expenses to be incurred by us in connection with the exchange offer, including:

• the SEC registration fee;

20

• fees and expenses of the exchange agent and the trustee;

• accounting and legal fees;

• printing fees; and

• other related fees and expenses.

Transfer Taxes

Holders who tender their old notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the exchange. If, however, the new notes issued in the exchange offer are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the holder of the old notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes in connection with the exchange offer, then the holder must pay any of these transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person. If satisfactory evidence of payment of, or exemption from, these taxes is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of these transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes

Holders who desire to tender their old notes in exchange for new notes should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the documents required for such exchange. Neither the exchange agent nor we are under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of old notes for exchange.

Old notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the consummation of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the provisions in the Indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the old notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legend on the old notes and in the respective offering memorandum dated July 10, 2018, August 14, 2018, or February 28, 2019, as applicable, relating to the old notes. Except in limited circumstances with respect to specific types of holders of old notes, we will have no further obligation to provide for the registration under the Securities Act of such old notes. In general, old notes, unless registered under the Securities Act, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We do not currently anticipate that we will take any action to register the old notes under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws following the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Upon completion of the exchange offer, holders of the old notes will not be entitled to any further registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreements, except under limited circumstances.

Holders of the new notes and any old notes that remain outstanding after consummation of the exchange offer will vote together as a single class for purposes of determining whether holders of the requisite percentage of the class have taken certain actions or exercised certain rights under the applicable indenture.

Consequences of Exchanging Old Notes

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC, as set forth in no-action letters to third parties, we believe that the new notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by holders of those new notes, other than by any holder that is an “affiliate” of ours or any subsidiary guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The new notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:

• the new notes issued in the exchange offer are acquired in the ordinary course of the holder’s business; and

21

• neither the holder, other than a broker-dealer, nor, to the actual knowledge of such holder, any other person receiving new notes from the holder, has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes issued in the exchange offer.

However, the SEC has not considered this exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter and we cannot guarantee that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to this exchange offer as in such other circumstances.

Each holder, other than a broker-dealer, must furnish a written representation, at our request, that:

• it is not an affiliate of ours or any subsidiary guarantor;

• it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes and has no arrangement or understanding to participate in a distribution of new notes;

• it is acquiring the new notes issued in the exchange offer in the ordinary course of its business; and

• it is not acting on behalf of a person who could not make the three preceding representations.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes must acknowledge that:

• such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (and not directly from us);

• it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with us or an affiliate of ours to distribute the new notes; and

• it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such new notes, and such broker-dealer will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act with respect to resale of any new notes.

Furthermore, any broker-dealer that acquired any of its old notes directly from us:

• may not rely on the position of the SEC enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters; and

• must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction and be identified as an underwriter in the applicable prospectus.

In addition, to comply with state securities laws of certain jurisdictions, the new notes issued in the exchange offer may not be offered or sold in any state unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with by the holders selling the new notes. We have agreed in the Registration Rights Agreements that, prior to any public offering of old notes, we will cooperate with the selling holders of old notes and their counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of such old notes entitled to registration rights, under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling holders of old notes may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in the applicable jurisdictions, provided, however, that we are not required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where we are not so qualified or to take any action that would subject us to the service of process in suits or to taxation, in any jurisdiction where we are not so subject.

Accounting Treatment

We will record the new notes at the same carrying value as the old notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange offer. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES

General

The term “new notes” refers to Qorvo’s $900,000,000 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026 that have been registered under the Securities Act. The term “old notes” refers to Qorvo’s outstanding unregistered $900,000,000 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026. We refer to the new notes and the old notes (to the extent not exchanged for new notes) in this section as the “Notes.”

The terms of the old notes are identical in all material respects to those of the new notes, except that: (1) the old notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, are subject to certain restrictions on transfer and are entitled to certain rights under the Registration Rights Agreements (which rights will terminate upon consummation of the exchange offer, except under limited circumstances); and (2) the new notes will not contain terms with respect to additional interest.

The Company issued the old notes and will issue the new notes pursuant to the indenture dated as of July 16, 2018, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Indenture”). 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 (the “Trust Indenture Act”). You should refer to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a complete statement of the terms applicable to the Notes.

The following is a summary of material provisions of the Indenture. The following summary of the terms of the Notes and the Indenture is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified by reference to, the Notes and the Indenture (as supplemented on August 28, 2018 and March 5, 2019), including the definitions therein of certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this description of the new notes. We urge you to read the entire Indenture because these documents, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the new notes.

For purposes of this section, the term “Company” refers only to Qorvo, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries will guarantee the new notes and will be subject to many of the provisions described in this section. Each subsidiary that guarantees the new notes is referred to in this section as a “Subsidiary Guarantor.” Each such guarantee is referred to as a “Subsidiary Guarantee.”

Overview of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees

The old notes are and the new notes will be:

• senior unsecured obligations of the Company;

• equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior Indebtedness, including Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement and the 2025 notes;

• senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes;

• effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

• structurally subordinated to all liabilities of each existing and future Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor; and

• guaranteed on a general senior unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Subsidiary Guarantors

The old notes are, and the new notes will be, guaranteed by each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that from time to time guarantees Indebtedness of the Company under a Material Credit Facility. The

23

Subsidiary Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor, with respect to old notes, is and, with respect to new notes, will be:

• a senior unsecured obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

• equal in right of payment with all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s existing and future senior Indebtedness, including obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the 2025 notes;

• senior in right of payment to all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s future Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary Guarantee; and

• effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

Not all of our Subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes. As of December 29, 2018, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately $0.3 billion of total liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) and had an aggregate of approximately $2.9 billion of total assets (excluding intercompany assets). In addition, for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries accounted for 89% of our revenues (excluding intercompany revenues).

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Company may issue additional notes (the “Additional Notes”) from time to time after this offering. Any offering of Additional Notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness.” Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Notes for federal income tax purposes may trade under a separate CUSIP and may be treated as a separate class for purposes of transfers and exchanges. Nevertheless, the Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture would be treated as a single class of Notes for all other purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Company will issue new notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The new notes will mature on July 15, 2026.

Each new note will bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum. We will pay interest semiannually to Holders of record at the close of business on January 1 or July 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date on January 15 and July 15 of each year. We will pay interest on overdue principal at 1% per annum in excess of the interest rate, and we will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at this higher rate to the extent lawful.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. Registered holders of new notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid.

Payments

Principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the new notes will be payable, and the new notes will be exchangeable and transferable, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes, or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto as shown on the security register; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to new notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee will be made through the facilities of DTC. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of new notes, except in certain circumstances for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency will be the office of the trustee maintained for such purpose.

24

Paying Agent and Registrar

The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar. The registrar will maintain a register reflecting ownership of any Notes in certificated, non-global form outstanding from time to time, and the paying agent will make payments on and facilitate transfer of such Notes in certificated, non-global form on behalf of the Company. We will pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes at any office of ours or any agency designated by us.

Transfer and Exchange

A Holder of outstanding Notes will be able to transfer or exchange Notes. Upon any transfer or exchange, the registrar and the trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company will not be required to transfer or exchange any outstanding Note selected for redemption or purchase or to transfer or exchange any outstanding Note for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption or purchase of Notes to be redeemed or purchased or within 15 days of an interest payment date. The Notes will be issued in registered form, and the Holder will be treated as the owner of such Notes for all purposes.

Form, Denomination and Registration

The old notes are, and the new notes will be, transferable and exchangeable at the office of the Registrar or any co-registrar and are or will be, as applicable, issued in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Sinking Fund; Mandatory Redemptions

There are no sinking fund payment or mandatory redemption obligations with respect to the Notes.

Optional Redemption

Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, we may not redeem the Notes prior to July 15, 2021. At any time and from time to time on or after July 15, 2021, we may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at once or over time, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on July 15 of the years set forth below:

Year	Redemption Price
2021		102.750	%
2022		101.833	%
2023		100.917	%
2024 and thereafter		100.000	%

In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to July 15, 2021, we may redeem, on one or more occasions, up to a maximum of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes, calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to

25

receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption:

(1) at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes, calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes, remains outstanding immediately after such redemption; and

(2) any such redemption by the Company must be made within 90 days of such Qualified Equity Offering and must be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

At any time and from time to time prior to July 15, 2021, the Company may redeem on one or more occasions all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Any notice of redemption in connection with any Qualified Equity Offering or other securities offering or any other financing, or in connection with a transaction (or series of related transactions) that constitute a Change of Control, may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of the related Qualified Equity Offering, securities offering, financing or Change of Control.

Selection

If we redeem less than all of the Notes, the trustee or applicable depositary will select the Notes to be redeemed in accordance with the procedures of the applicable depositary, although no Note of $2,000 in original principal amount or less may be redeemed in part. If we redeem any Note in part only, the notice of redemption relating to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as we have deposited with the paying agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed.

Ranking

The old notes are, and the new notes will be, senior unsecured obligations of the Company, equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior Indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement and the 2025 notes, and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will also be effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

The Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the old notes are, and with respect to the new notes will be, the senior unsecured obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor equal in right of payment with all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s existing and future senior Indebtedness, including obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the 2025 notes, and senior in right of payment to all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s future Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantees will also be effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

To the extent a Subsidiary is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, creditors of the Subsidiary, including trade creditors, and preferred stockholders, if any, of the Subsidiary generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of the Subsidiary over the claims of creditors of the Company, including Holders. The Notes, therefore, will be structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors, including trade creditors, and preferred stockholders, if any, of Subsidiaries of the Company that are not Subsidiary Guarantors.

26

On an as-adjusted basis, after giving effect to the 2025 notes repurchase and the March 2019 notes offering, as of December 29, 2018, we and our Subsidiaries would have had approximately $918.7 million of Indebtedness outstanding, none of which would have been secured. In addition, we would have had approximately $600.0 million of availability under our credit facility. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the New Notes—Our debt could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the new notes.”

Although the Indenture limits the Incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (including the issuance of Preferred Stock by the Restricted Subsidiaries), this limitation is subject to a number of significant qualifications. The Company and its Subsidiaries may be able to Incur substantial amounts of Indebtedness in certain circumstances. See “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness” below.

Subsidiary Guarantees

The new notes will be guaranteed by each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that, from time to time, guarantees Indebtedness of the Company under a Material Credit Facility. The Guarantors will jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally Guarantee (subject to certain customary release provisions described below) as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, on an unsecured senior basis, the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under the Indenture, including obligations to the trustee, and the new notes, whether for payment of principal of, or premium or interest on the new notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantors being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to old notes is, and with respect to new notes will be, limited in amount to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be Guaranteed by the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to that Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the New Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors.” The Company will cause each future Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that, from time to time, guarantees Indebtedness of the Company under a Material Credit Facility to execute and deliver to the trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Subsidiary will Guarantee payment of the Notes. See “—Certain Covenants—Future Subsidiary Guarantors” below.

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released:

(1) in connection with the sale or other disposition (including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock or all of the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and the sale complies with the provisions set forth in the covenant “—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock,” if as a result of such sale, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) upon the designation of any Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(3) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture described under “—Defeasance” or “—Satisfaction and Discharge”; or

(4) if such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been released from its guarantees of Indebtedness of the Company, which would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Notes pursuant to the covenant described below under “—Certain Covenants—Future Subsidiary Guarantors.”

Change of Control Triggering Event

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below under “—Certain Definitions”), each Holder will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s

27

Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase the Notes pursuant to this section in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes under the terms of the section titled “Optional Redemption.”

Within 45 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, or, in the case of global notes, send in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary, a notice to each Holder with a copy to the trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:

(1) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);

(2) the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed; and

(3) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this covenant, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, with the obligation to pay and the timing of payment conditioned upon the consummation of the Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement to effect a Change of Control is in place at the time of the Change of Control Offer.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of such redemption.

The Company 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 the purchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue thereof.

The Change of Control Triggering Event purchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Company and the initial purchasers. Management has no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that the Company will decide to do so in the future.

Subject to the limitations discussed below, the Company could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control Triggering

28

Event under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect the Company’s capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on the ability of the Company to Incur additional Indebtedness are described below under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness.” Such restrictions can only be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in that covenant and as described below under “—Merger and Consolidation,” however, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford Holders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

The occurrence of a Change of Control would constitute a default under the Existing Credit Agreement. In addition, future Indebtedness of the Company could contain prohibitions of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require such Indebtedness to be repurchased or repaid upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Company to purchase the Notes could cause a default under such Indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of the repurchase on the Company. Finally, the Company’s ability to pay cash to the Holders upon a purchase may be limited by the Company’s then existing financial resources. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required purchases. Even if sufficient funds were otherwise available, the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement may prohibit, subject to limited exceptions, the Company’s prepayment of Notes prior to their scheduled maturity. If the Company is not able to prepay Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness containing similar restrictions or obtain requisite consents, the Company will not be able to fulfill its repurchase obligations upon holders of Notes exercising their purchase rights following a Change of Control Triggering Event, and such failure will result in a default under the Indenture and, in turn, constitute a default under the Existing Credit Agreement. Furthermore, the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions may in some circumstances make more difficult or discourage a takeover of the Company and the removal of incumbent management.

Covenant Suspension When Notes Rated Investment Grade

If on any date (the “Suspension Date”):

(1) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies; and

(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clause (1) and this clause (2) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”),

then, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the covenants under the Indenture described under the following captions will be suspended (such suspended covenants, collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

(1) “—Limitation on Indebtedness;”

(2) “—Limitation on Restricted Payments;”

(3) “—Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries;”

(4) “—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock;”

(5) “—Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates;” and

(6) clause (3) of the covenant described below under “—Merger and Consolidation.”

Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Net Available Cash that has not been applied as provided under “—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock” below shall be set at zero and shall remain at zero during the Suspension Period (as defined below). During the period of time commencing on and after the Suspension Date and ending prior to the Reversion Date (as defined below under “—Certain Definitions”) (such period, the “Suspension Period”), neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor any Officer may designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

29

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any date (the “Reversion Date”) subsequent to any Suspension Date, one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes to below an Investment Grade Rating, the Suspended Covenants will be reinstituted as of and from the Reversion Date. On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (b)(3)(B) under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness” below. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the reinstated “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” covenant will be made as if the “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” covenant had been in effect since the date of the Indenture. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments.” In addition, for purposes of the reinstated “Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates” covenant, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Company during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been existing as of the Issue Date. Also, any encumbrance or restriction of the type referred to in the covenant under “Certain Covenants—Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries” incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date. Notwithstanding the reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or thereafter based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period). The Company shall give the Trustee written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event and in any event not later than twenty (20) Business Days after such Covenant Suspension Event has occurred. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Company shall give the Trustee written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than twenty (20) Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

We cannot assure you that the Notes will ever achieve an Investment Grade Rating or that any such rating will be maintained.

Certain Covenants

The Indenture contains covenants, including, among others, the following:

Limitation on Indebtedness

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness if, on the date of such Incurrence and after giving effect thereto and to the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would be greater than 2.0:1.0.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur the following Indebtedness:

(1) Indebtedness under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $900 million;

(2) Indebtedness of the Company owed to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof not permitted by this clause (2);

(3) Indebtedness (A) represented by the Notes (not including any Additional Notes) and the Subsidiary Guarantees (and any new Notes and Guarantees thereof) or (B) outstanding on the Issue Date (other than the

(4) the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to Refinance Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be Incurred under paragraph (a) of this covenant or clause (3) (including the new Notes and any Guarantees thereof), (4), (8), or (9) of this paragraph (b);

(5) obligations (contingent or otherwise) existing or arising under any Swap Contract, provided that such obligations are (or were) entered into by such Person for the purpose of directly mitigating risks associated with liabilities, commitments, investments, assets or property held or reasonably anticipated by such Person, or changes in the value of securities issued by such Person and not for purposes of speculation or taking a “market view;”

(6) Indebtedness consisting of Guarantees by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary otherwise permitted under this covenant;

(7) Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its Incurrence;

(9) Indebtedness of any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or related to any asset acquired after the Issue Date pursuant to an acquisition permitted hereunder and any Refinancing Indebtedness thereof; provided that, (A) such Indebtedness was not incurred in anticipation of such acquisition, (B) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the acquired Restricted Subsidiaries) is an obligor with respect to such Indebtedness and (C) such Indebtedness is either unsecured or secured solely by Liens on assets of the acquired Restricted Subsidiary, or on the acquired assets, and, in each case, proceeds thereof, permitted by, and within the limitations set forth in clause (6) of the definition of “Permitted Liens;”

(10) obligations (including in respect of letters of credit, bank guarantees, bankers’ acceptances, warehouse receipts or similar instruments issued or created in the ordinary course of business) in respect of bids, tenders, trade contracts, governmental contracts and leases, construction contracts, statutory obligations, surety, stay, customs, bid, and appeal bonds, performance and return of money bonds, performance and completion guarantees, agreements with utilities and other obligations of a like nature (including those to secure health, safety and environmental obligations), in each case in the ordinary course of business and either (i) consistent with past practices, (ii) reasonably necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as determined by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in good faith or (iii) not in connection with the borrowing of money;

31

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. For purposes of determining the outstanding amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this covenant:

(1) Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement prior to or on the Issue Date shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) above;

(2) Indebtedness permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such Indebtedness;

(3) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this covenant, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify (and, except as provided in clause (1) of this paragraph (c), may later reclassify) such Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and

(4) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the calculation of such particular amount.

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of debt discount, and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.

The Company will not Incur any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is subordinate or junior in ranking in any respect to any other Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes to the same extent. No Subsidiary Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is subordinate or junior in ranking in any respect to any other Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the same extent. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, solely by reason of any Liens or Guarantees arising or created in respect of such other Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any Secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

Limitation on Liens

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness on any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, except Permitted Liens, without making effective provision whereby any and all Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees then or thereafter outstanding will be secured by a Lien equally and ratably with or prior to any and all Indebtedness thereby secured for so long as any such Indebtedness shall be so secured.

Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to the preceding paragraph may provide by its terms that any such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien securing such other Indebtedness.

32

Limitation on Restricted Payments

(a) Except as permitted in paragraph (b) below, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to:

(1) declare or pay any dividend, make any distribution on or in respect of its Capital Stock or make any similar payment (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to the direct or indirect holders of its Capital Stock, except (x) dividends or distributions payable solely in its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) and (y) dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (and, if such Restricted Subsidiary has shareholders other than the Company or other Restricted Subsidiaries, to its other shareholders on a pro rata basis or on a basis more favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than pro rata);

(2) purchase, repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) purchase, repurchase, redeem, retire, defease or otherwise acquire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations (other than the purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition for value of (A) Subordinated Obligations acquired in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date thereof), or (B) to the extent constituting Subordinated Obligations, Indebtedness permitted under clause (b)(2) under “—Limitation on Indebtedness” above; or

(4) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person (any such dividend, distribution, payment, purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, retirement, other acquisition or Investment being herein referred to as a “Restricted Payment”) if at the time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

(A) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

(B) the Company could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Indebtedness” above; or

(C) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments (the amount so expended, if other than in cash, to be determined in good faith by the Company, whose determination will be conclusive) declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments excluded pursuant to paragraph (b) below) would exceed the sum, without duplication, of:

(i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the first day of the fiscal quarter commencing October 4, 2015, to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available prior to the date of such Restricted Payment (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit);

(ii) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company from the issue or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) subsequent to the Issue Date (other than an issuance or sale to (x) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (y) an employee stock ownership plan or other trust established by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or other trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination);

(iii) the aggregate Fair Market Value of any assets or property received by the Company from the issue or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) subsequent to the Issue Date (other than an issuance or sale to (x) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (y) an employee

33

stock ownership plan or other trust established by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or other trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination);

(iv) the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries issued after the Issue Date is reduced on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange of such Indebtedness for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company (less the amount of any cash or the Fair Market Value of other property distributed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange);

(v) with respect to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date, an amount equal to the net reduction in such Investments in any Person resulting from repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets, in each case to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or from the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of any such Investment (except, in each case, to the extent any such payment or proceeds are included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income), from dividends or other distributions or payments on such Investments, or from the release of any Guarantee (except to the extent any amounts are paid under such Guarantee) or from redesignations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, not to exceed, in each case, the amount of such Investments previously made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date; and

(vi) an amount equal to the restricted payment availability as of the Issue Date under the provisions corresponding to the foregoing in the 2015 Indenture (i.e., clauses (i)-(vi) of Section 4.07(a)(4)(C) of the 2015 Indenture), which approximated $209.2 million as of December 29, 2018.

(b) The provisions of the foregoing paragraph (a) will not prohibit:

(1) any dividend or distribution in respect of, or any purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value of, Capital Stock of the Company or Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan or other trust established by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, however, that:

(A) such dividend, distribution, purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value will be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments, and

(B) the Net Cash Proceeds or the Fair Market Value of any assets or property received from such sale applied in the manner set forth in this clause (1) will be excluded from the calculation of amounts under clause (4)(C)(ii) or 4(C) (iii), as applicable, of paragraph (a) above;

(2) any prepayment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition for value of Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that such prepayment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition for value will be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(3) the payment of any dividend, the making of any distribution or the redemption of any securities within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof or the giving of formal notice by the Company of such redemption if, at such date of declaration or notice, such payment, distribution or redemption would have complied with this covenant; provided, however, that such payment, distribution or redemption (without duplication) will be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

34

(4) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value of shares of, or options to purchase shares of, Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from employees, former employees, directors or former directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such employees, former employees, directors or former directors), pursuant to the terms of agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or amendments thereto) approved by the Company’s board of directors under which such individuals purchase or sell, or are granted the option to purchase or sell, shares of such Capital Stock; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such purchases, repurchases, redemptions, retirements and other acquisitions for value will not exceed $25 million in any calendar year, with any unused amounts rolling over to the succeeding calendar year; provided further, however, that such purchases, repurchases, redemptions, retirements and other acquisitions for value shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(5) the Company may acquire Capital Stock or make net share settlements in connection with the cashless exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock or in connection with the satisfaction of withholding obligations; provided, however, that such repurchases shall be excluded from the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(6) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company issued on or after the Issue Date in accordance with the “—Limitation on Indebtedness” covenant; provided, however, that such payment shall be excluded from the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(7) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may purchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Obligations upon a Change of Control of the Company or an Asset Sale by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent required by any agreement pursuant to which such Subordinated Obligations were issued, but only if the Company or a third party has previously made the offer to purchase Notes required under “—Change of Control Triggering Event” and has repurchased all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such offer to purchase Notes; provided, however, that such payments shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(8) any payments made in connection with repurchases of common stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed $600 million; provided, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(9) the distribution, by dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(10) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make other Restricted Payments so long as, after giving pro forma effect thereto (including any Incurrence and/or repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith), the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter or year; provided that such payments shall be excluded from the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(11) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $175 million; provided, however, that such Restricted Payments shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; and

(12) the declaration and payment of dividends to the holders of common stock of the Company and/or the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Capital Stock of the Company pursuant to a repurchase program approved by the Company’s board of directors; provided that the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid for such dividends, purchases, repurchases, redemptions, defeasances or other acquisitions or retirements shall not exceed $100 million in any fiscal year; provided, further, that such payments shall be excluded from the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments.

35

Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividend or liquidating distributions prior to the dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

(2) make any loans or advances to the Company (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company to other Debt Incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(3) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above), except:

(A) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to (i) applicable law, rule, regulation or order or (ii) an agreement, including without limitation the Existing Credit Agreement, in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date;

(B) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement relating to any Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, in contemplation of, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Company) and outstanding on such date;

(C) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this covenant or this clause (C) or contained in any amendment to an agreement referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this covenant or this clause (C); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such Refinancing agreement or amendment, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable (as determined in good faith by the Company) to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in such predecessor agreements;

(D) in the case of clause (3), any encumbrance or restriction:

(i) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is a lease, license or similar contract;

(ii) contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such encumbrance or restriction restricts the transfer of the property subject to such security agreements or mortgages; or

(iii) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that does not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof in any manner material to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof;

(E) any encumbrance or restriction on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or lessors or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(H) any encumbrance or restriction existing under, by reason of or with respect to Indebtedness Incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary permitted to be Incurred under the “—Limitation on Indebtedness” covenant; provided that the Company’s board of directors (as evidenced by a resolution of the Company’s board of directors) determines in good faith at the time such Indebtedness is Incurred that such encumbrance or restriction would not impair the ability of the Company to make payments of interest and principal on the Notes when due;

(I) existing under, by reason of or with respect to Indebtedness Incurred by Foreign Subsidiaries permitted to be Incurred under the Indenture;

(J) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to any document or instrument governing Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (b)(8) of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Indebtedness;” provided that any such restriction contained therein relates only to the asset or assets constructed or acquired in connection therewith;

(K) any Permitted Lien or any document or instrument governing any Permitted Lien, provided that any such restriction contained therein relates only to the asset or assets subject to such Permitted Lien;

(L) existing by reason of any contractual obligation that is reasonably determined by the Company not to materially adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Indenture, the old notes, or the new notes; or

(M) existing by reason of the Indenture, the old notes, the new notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees.

Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming sole responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition,

(2) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, assets useful in a Permitted Business or Permitted Securities, or the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) as a result of which the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to those liabilities; provided that the amount of any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition shall be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this provision (but for no other purpose) so long as such amount, taken together with the Fair Market Value when received of all other Designated Noncash Consideration that is at that time outstanding (i.e., that has not been sold for or otherwise converted into cash or Permitted Securities), does not exceed the greater of (i) $150 million and (ii) 6% of Consolidated Tangible Assets as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter; provided, further, that (A) securities or other assets received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the closing of such Asset Disposition shall be considered to be cash to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and (B) any cash consideration paid to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Disposition that is held in escrow or on deposit to support indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations in respect of such Asset Sale shall be considered to be cash, and

37

(3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) within 365 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the receipt of such Net Available Cash:

(A) to prepay, repay, purchase, repurchase, redeem, retire, defease or otherwise acquire for value Secured Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company;

(B) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary); provided, that a binding commitment to apply Net Available Cash in accordance with this clause (B) shall be treated as an application of such Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment if (i) such reinvestment is consummated within 180 days at the end of such 365-day period referred to in this clause (3) and (ii) if such reinvestment is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (i) or such binding commitment is terminated, the Net Available Cash shall constitute available Net Available Cash; or

(C) (i) redeem the Notes or make open market purchases thereof at a price not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof or (ii) to make an Offer (as defined in paragraph (b) of this covenant below) to purchase Notes pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this covenant; provided, however, that if the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness), such Offer may be made ratably (determined based upon the respective principal amounts of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness being purchased or repaid) to purchase the Notes and to purchase or otherwise repay such Pari Passu Indebtedness;

provided that pending final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (A), (B) or (C) above, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

To the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may use such balance for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Indenture. In connection with any prepayment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition for value of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A) or (C) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, purchased, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise acquired for value.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this covenant, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this covenant except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions that is not applied in accordance with this covenant exceeds $100 million.

(b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Notes pursuant to clause (a)(3)(C) of this covenant, the Company will be required (i) to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Notes (the “Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant 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 the Indenture, and (ii) to purchase or otherwise repay Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company on the terms and to the extent contemplated thereby at the purchase price set forth in the relevant documentation (including accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acquisition, the “purchase price”), provided

38

that to the extent the purchase price of any such Pari Passu Indebtedness exceeds 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of acquisition, the Company shall not use any Net Available Cash to pay such purchase price, except as permitted by the next sentence. If the aggregate purchase price of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Offer is less than the Net Available Cash allotted to the purchase of the Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company will apply the remaining Net Available Cash for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Indenture. The Company will not be required to make an Offer for Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness pursuant to this covenant if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in clauses (a)(3)(A) and (B)) is less than $100 million for any particular Asset Disposition (which lesser amount will be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). Upon consummation of any Offer, the Net Available Cash in respect of any Asset Disposition(s) shall be reduced to zero.

(c) The Company 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 the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue thereof.

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) involving payments in excess of $25 million with any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless such transaction is on terms:

(1) that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time of such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate;

(2) that, in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million,

(A)    are set forth in writing, and

(B)    have been approved by a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors having no personal stake in such Affiliate Transaction.

(b) The provisions of the foregoing paragraph (a) will not prohibit:

(1) any Permitted Investment;

(2) any Restricted Payment permitted to be paid or made pursuant to the covenant described under “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” above;

(3) any issuance of shares of Capital Stock of the Company;

(4) any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as such agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time; provided that such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation, and so long as any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal, when taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders, in the reasonable determination of an Officer of the Company, than the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of such acquisition, merger or consolidation;

(8) any transaction between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries;

(9) the provision by Persons who may be deemed Affiliates of the Company of investment advisory services to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to the Company’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ employee benefit plans;

(10) transactions pursuant to any contract, agreement or instrument in effect on the Issue Date, as amended, modified or replaced from time to time, so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries than those in effect on the Issue Date; or

(11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture.

SEC Reports

Whether or not required by the SEC’s rules and regulations, the Company will file with the SEC within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and provide the trustee and Holders and prospective Holders (upon request) within 15 days after it files them with the SEC, copies of its annual report and the information, documents and other reports that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided that for purposes of this covenant, such information, documents and other reports shall be deemed to have been furnished to the trustee, Holders and prospective Holders if they are electronically available via the SEC’s EDGAR System. Even if the Company is entitled under the Exchange Act not to furnish such information to the SEC, it will nonetheless continue to furnish information that would be required to be furnished by the Company by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding exhibits) to the trustee and the Holders as if it were subject to such periodic reporting requirements. The Company also will comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified herein and such information is subsequently provided within the grace period described under “—Defaults” below, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured unless the Notes have been accelerated. The trustee shall have no obligation to determine if and when the Company’s financial statements or reports are publicly available and accessible electronically. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the trustee under the Indenture is for informational purposes only and the information and the trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein including our compliance with any of our covenants thereunder (as to which the trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Future Subsidiary Guarantors

If, on or after the Issue Date:

(1) the Company or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that incurs any Indebtedness under a Material Credit Facility or Guarantees any such Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(2) any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company incurs Indebtedness under a Material Credit Facility or guarantees any such Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries and that Domestic Restricted Subsidiary was not a Subsidiary Guarantor immediately prior to such incurrence or guarantee (an “Additional Obligor”),

then that newly acquired or created Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Additional Obligor, as the case may be, will become a Subsidiary Guarantor and provide a Subsidiary Guarantee in respect of the Notes and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the trustee within 30 days after the date on which it incurred any Indebtedness under a Material Credit Facility or guarantees any such Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.

Merger and Consolidation

The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets and its Subsidiaries’ assets (taken as a whole) to, any Person (or another Restricted Subsidiary), unless:

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the Company) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreements; provided that in the case where the Successor Company is not a corporation, a co-obligor on the Notes is a corporation;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the Successor Company would have a Consolidated Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Indebtedness” above, provided that this clause (3) will not be applicable to any merger with a Subsidiary solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction; and

(4) the Company shall have delivered to the trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) complies with the Indenture and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, that such supplemental indenture (if any) is the valid, binding obligation of the Successor Company, enforceable against the Successor Company in accordance with its terms.

The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreements, and the predecessor Company (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets) will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

41

In addition, the Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless:

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and, in the case of clause (2) below, treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(2) either:

(x) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) will be a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and, other than in the case of a transaction as part of which the Subsidiary Guarantee is being released as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, such Person (if not such Subsidiary Guarantor) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee; or

(y)    such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer complies with the provisions set forth under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock” above; and

(3) the Company shall have delivered to the trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture.

In the case of clause (2) above, the Successor Guarantor will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreements, and the predecessor Subsidiary Guarantor (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets) will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

Defaults

Each of the following is an Event of Default:

(1) a default in any payment of interest on any Note when due and payable continued for 30 days;

(2) a default in the payment of principal of any Note when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon required redemption or repurchase, upon acceleration or otherwise;

(3) the failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its obligations under the covenant described under “—Merger and Consolidation” above;

(4) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after receipt of the written notice referred to below with its other agreements contained in the Notes or the Indenture;

(5) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary to pay any Indebtedness within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $100 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) (the “cross acceleration provision”) and such failure continues for 10 days after receipt of the written notice referred to below;

(6) specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary (the “bankruptcy provisions”);

42

(7) the rendering of any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of $100 million or its foreign currency equivalent (in excess of the amount for which liability for payment is covered by insurance or bonded) against the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary if:

(A) an enforcement proceeding thereon is commenced by any creditor and such enforcement is not stayed promptly after commencement, or

(B) such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 60 calendar days following such judgment and is not paid, discharged, waived or stayed (the “judgment default provision”); or

(8) any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary Guarantor as of and for the twelve months ended on the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are publicly available ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any such Significant Subsidiary Guarantor or Person acting by or on behalf of any such Significant Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms such Significant Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice specified in the Indenture.

The foregoing Events of Default will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes unless a written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to a Trust Officer by the Company or any Holder of Notes.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and a Trust Officer has received written notification thereof, the trustee must mail, or in the case of global notes, send in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary, to each Holder of the Notes notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs and 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the trustee. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of such Note, the trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders. In addition, the Company will be required to deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the officers signing such certificate on behalf of the Company know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company will also be required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute an Event of Default, the status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

A Default under clause (4) or (5) above will not constitute an Event of Default until the trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company and the trustee, of the Default and the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (4) or (5) above after receipt of such notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to the bankruptcy provisions) occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the trustee (if given by the Holders) may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to the bankruptcy provisions occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders,

43

unless such Holders shall have offered to such trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee under the Indenture or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the Notes; provided that the trustee may refuse to follow any direction that is in conflict with any law or the Indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the trustee in personal liability.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to the Notes when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Amendments and Waivers

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).

The Indenture provides that, without the consent of each Holder adversely affected thereby, no amendment may:

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

(2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described under “—Optional Redemption” above;

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

(6) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(7) make any change in the amendment provisions or in the waiver provisions which require each Holder’s consent; or

(8) release any Subsidiary Guarantee (other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture).

Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the trustee may amend the Indenture to:

(a) convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property or assets to the trustee as security for the Notes;

44

(b) evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture pursuant to the provisions described under “—Merger and Consolidation” above;

(c) add to the covenants of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of Notes;

(d) cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision contained in the Indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained in the Indenture, or make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture as the Company’s board of directors may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Notes;

(e) evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Indenture by more than the one trustee pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture;

(f) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

(g) add additional Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes and release any Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the Indenture;

(h) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes;

(i) conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of this Description of Notes; or

(j) comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

The consent of the Holders will not be necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

After an amendment becomes effective, the Company is required to mail, or in the case of global notes, send in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary, to Holders (with a copy to the trustee) a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

Defeasance

The Company may at any time terminate all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture (“legal defeasance”), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the Notes.

In addition, the Company may at any time terminate:

(1) its obligations under the covenants described under “—Change of Control Triggering Event” and “—Certain Covenants” above, and

(2) the operation of the cross acceleration provision, the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Significant Subsidiaries, the judgment default provision and the note guaranty provision described under “—Defaults” above and the limitations contained in clause (3) under the first paragraph of “—Merger and Consolidation” above (“covenant defeasance”).

45

In the event that the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee.

The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (4) and (5) (with respect only to the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries), (6) and (7) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) or (8) under “—Defaults” above or because of the failure of the Company to comply with clause (3) under the first paragraph of “—Merger and Consolidation” above.

In order to exercise either defeasance option, the Company must irrevocably deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the trustee money in an amount sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized accounting firm, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with specified other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable Federal income tax law.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture (including the Subsidiary Guarantees) will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in the Indenture) as to all Notes issued thereunder when:

(1) all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced or paid) have been canceled or delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

(2) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption, or will become due and payable within one year, and the Company irrevocably deposits with the trustee funds in an amount sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the trustee (which opinion shall only be required to be delivered if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding Notes when due at maturity or upon redemption of, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Notes replaced or paid); and, in either case

(3) the Company pays all other sums payable under the Indenture by it.

Concerning the Trustee

MUFG Union Bank, N.A. is the trustee under the Indenture and has been appointed by the Company as registrar and paying agent with regard to the Notes. The Company and its subsidiaries may maintain accounts and conduct other banking transactions with affiliates of the trustee.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member, manager or partner of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary

46

Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

BOOK ENTRY; DELIVERY AND FORM

New notes will be offered and exchanged in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. We will issue new notes in the form of one or more permanent global notes in fully registered, book-entry form without interest coupons, which we refer to as the “global notes.”

Each such global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC, as depositary, and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee). Investors may elect to hold their interests in the global notes through either DTC (in the United States), or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as the operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg (“Clearstream”), if they are participants in those systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in those systems. Each of Euroclear and Clearstream will appoint a DTC participant to act as its depositary for the interests in the global notes that are held within DTC for the account of each settlement system on behalf of its participants.

Depository Procedures

The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants. The participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “indirect participants”). Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the participants or the indirect participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the participants and indirect participants.

DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

(1) upon deposit of the global notes, DTC will credit the accounts of participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the global notes; and

(2) ownership of these interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the participants) or by the participants and the indirect participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the global notes).

Investors who are participants in DTC’s system may hold their interests in the global notes directly through DTC. Investors who are not participants may hold their interests in the global notes indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are participants in such system. All interests in a global note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems.

Except as described below, owners of interests in the global notes will not have new notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of new notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or “Holders” thereof under the Indenture for any purpose. Payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, interest, and additional interest on the old notes, if any, on a global note registered in the

67

name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC or its nominee in its capacity as the registered Holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, we and the trustee will treat the persons in whose names the new notes, including the global notes, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither we, the trustee nor any agent of ours or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

(1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records relating to the identity of the participants to whose accounts the global notes are credited or any participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the global notes; or

(2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its participants or indirect participants.

DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the new notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the participants and the indirect participants to the beneficial owners of new notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the participants or the indirect participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or us. Neither we nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the new notes, and we and the trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Cross-market transfers between the participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of new notes only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the global notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the new notes as to which such participant or participants have given such direction.

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. Neither we nor the trustee nor any of our respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

68

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

A global note is exchangeable for definitive notes in registered certificated form (“certificated notes”), if (a) DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global notes; (b) DTC has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in each case of (a) or (b) we fail to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after becoming aware of such condition; or (c) we, at our option, notify the trustee that we elect to cause the issuance of definitive notes in exchange for global notes.

In all cases, certificated notes delivered in exchange for any global note or beneficial interests in global notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Same Day Settlement and Payment

The new notes represented by the global notes are expected to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. We expect that secondary trading in any certificated notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

We expect that, because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised us that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of old notes for new notes. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The following relates only to new notes that are acquired in this offering in exchange for old notes originally acquired at their initial offering for an amount of cash equal to their issue price. Unless otherwise indicated, this summary addresses only the U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to investors who hold the old notes and the new notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

This summary does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of the holder’s individual circumstances or to holders subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, entities and arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and other pass-through entities (and persons holding the notes through a partnership or other pass-through entity), retirement plans, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, persons liable for U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. expatriates, “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” U.S. holders who hold notes through non-U.S. brokers or other non-U.S. intermediaries, persons required to accelerate their reporting of gross income as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement and persons holding new notes as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment. The discussion does not address any foreign, state, local or non-income tax consequences of the exchange of old notes for new notes.

This discussion is for general purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations and the consequences under U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws, as well as foreign, state, or local laws and tax treaties, and the possible effects of changes in tax laws.

The exchange of old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer will not be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Holders of old notes will not realize any taxable gain or loss as a result of such exchange and will have the same adjusted issue price, tax basis, and holding period in the new notes as they had in the old notes immediately before the exchange. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the new notes will generally be the same as those applicable to the old notes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Any broker-dealer who holds old notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than old notes acquired directly from the Company) may exchange such old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. Such broker-dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the new notes received by such broker-dealer in the exchange offer. Accordingly, each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in connection with the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by such broker-dealers during the period referred to below in connection with such resales. We have agreed that this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by such broker-dealers in connection with resales of such new notes for a period ending 20 business days after the date on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective, or, if earlier, the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities. In addition, until August 21, 2019, all dealers effecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

We and the Guarantors will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of new notes in the exchange offer or from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. As indicated above, any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account in connection with the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of new notes may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of 20 business days after the date on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer, other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the new notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
