Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 16, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), Quiksilver, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, QS Wholesale, Inc. (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), issued (i) $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture (the “2018 Note Indenture”), dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and as collateral agent, and (ii) $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 10.000% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture (together with the 2018 Note Indenture, the “Indentures”), dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as trustee.

The 2018 Notes will mature on August 1, 2018 and bear interest at the rate of 7.875% per annum. The 2020 Notes will mature on August 1, 2020 and bear interest at the rate of 10.000% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2014.

The Issuers may redeem the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes for cash in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on and after February 1, 2016 with respect to the 2018 Notes and August 1, 2016 with respect to the 2020 Notes at specified redemption premiums, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as specified in the applicable Indenture. In addition, prior to such dates, the Issuers may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and a “make-whole” premium, as specified in the applicable Indenture. In addition, prior to such dates, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.875% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with respect to the 2018 Notes and 110.000% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with respect to the 2020 Notes.

If either of the Issuers undergoes a change of control under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The Notes are general senior obligations of the Issuers and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by certain of the Company’s current and future U.S. subsidiaries. The 2018 Notes and the related guarantees are secured by (1) a second-priority security interest in the current assets of the Issuers and the Guarantors, together with all related general intangibles (excluding intellectual property rights) and other property related to such assets, including the proceeds thereof, which assets secure the Company’s amended and restated asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) on a first-priority basis; and (2) a first-priority security interest in substantially all other property (including intellectual property rights) of the Issuers and the Guarantors and a first-priority pledge of 100% of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries directly owned by the Issuers and the Guarantors (but excluding equity interests of applicable foreign subsidiaries of the Issuers and the Guarantors possessing more than 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of equity interests of such applicable foreign subsidiaries entitled to vote) and the proceeds of the foregoing. The 2020 Notes are not secured.

The Issuers have agreed, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the initial purchasers of the Notes (the “Initial Purchasers”), to offer to exchange the 2020 Notes for a new issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, in certain circumstances, to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the 2020 Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Issuers have no intention or obligation to make a registered exchange offer for the 2018 Notes or to register the 2018 Notes under the Securities Act in the future.

The Indentures limit the ability of the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness (excluding, among other things, certain indebtedness under the ABL Credit Facility), issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends and make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, create certain liens on its assets to secure debt, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, agree to any restrictions on the ability of the Issuers’ restricted subsidiaries to make payments to the Issuers, merge or consolidate with another company, and transfer and sell all or substantially all of their assets, in each case, as set forth in the Indentures. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations, qualifications and exceptions, including that during any time that the Notes maintain investment grade ratings, certain of these covenants will not be applicable to the Notes.

The Indentures also contain customary event of default provisions including, among others, the following: default in the payment of the principal of the relevant series of Notes when the same becomes due and payable; default for 30 days in the payment of interest on the relevant series of Notes when due and payable; failure to comply with certain covenants in the applicable Indenture; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuers or any significant restricted subsidiary, in each case, as set forth in the applicable Indenture. In the case of an event of default, other than a bankruptcy default with respect to either of the Issuers, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the relevant series of Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuers (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the holders of the Notes), may, and the Trustee at the written request of the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the relevant series of Notes then outstanding shall, declare the principal of and accrued interest on such series of Notes to be immediately due and payable.

The public offering price of the 2018 Notes was 99.483% of the principal amount and the public offering price of the 2020 Notes was 98.757% of the principal amount. The Issuers received net proceeds from the offering of the Notes of approximately $493.2 million after deducting initial purchaser discounts but before estimated offering expenses. On the Closing Date, the Company irrevocably deposited with Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Existing Trustee”) for the Company’s outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due April 15, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”), a portion of the net proceeds sufficient to redeem all of the 2015 Notes, used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full and terminate its existing term loan, and intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds to pay down a portion of the outstanding amounts under the ABL Credit Facility and to pay related fees and expenses.

On the Closing Date, the Company and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries party to the ABL Credit Facility entered into an amendment (the “ABL Credit Facility Amendment”) to the ABL Credit Facility, originally dated as of May 24, 2013, to provide for certain mechanical changes required in connection with the issuance of the Notes.

The above descriptions of the Indentures, the Notes, the Registration Rights Agreement and the ABL Credit Facility Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indentures, the forms of Note, the Registration Rights Agreement and the ABL Credit Facility Amendment, each of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, the Notes or the related guarantees in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Company irrevocably deposited with the Existing Trustee funds sufficient to redeem all of the 2015 Notes and discharged the Indenture related thereto (the “2015 Note Indenture”), dated July 22, 2005, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors set forth therein and the Existing Trustee.

In addition, on the Closing Date, the Company repaid in full and terminated the term loan agreement, dated October 27, 2010 (the “Americas Term Loan”), by and among the Company, as guarantor, its subsidiary Quiksilver Americas, Inc., as borrower, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and a lender. The Americas Term Loan bore interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate plus a margin of 5.0% (5.2% as of April 30, 2013).

Some of the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Issuers, the Guarantors and their affiliates. Certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates hold a portion of the 2015 Notes. An affiliate of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated is administrative agent and a lender under the ABL Credit Facility and was administrative agent, collateral agent and a lender under the Americas Term Loan. Accordingly, we expect that certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates have received or will receive a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes.

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

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03, insofar as it relates to the creation of a direct financial obligation.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 11, 2013, the Company issued a press release to announce the pricing of the private offering by the Issuers of $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On the Closing Date, in connection with the closing of the previously announced offering of the Notes, the Company caused to be delivered to the holders of the 2015 Notes notice that the Company will redeem all of the outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes. The redemption date is August 15, 2013 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price for the 2015 Notes is 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the Redemption Date. In addition, as noted above, in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Note Indenture, the Company irrevocably deposited with the Existing Trustee funds sufficient to redeem all of the 2015 Notes and, as a result, the Existing Trustee acknowledged the satisfaction and discharge of the 2015 Note Indenture.

The Notes shall be resold initially only to (A) QIBs and (B) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S. Such Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs and purchasers in reliance on Regulation S in accordance with the procedure described herein. Additional Notes offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Issuers from time to time pursuant to one or more purchase agreements in accordance with applicable law.

Notes offered and sold to QIBs in the United States of America in reliance on Rule 144A (the “Rule 144A Notes”) shall be issued initially in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, including the appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Rule 144A Global Note”), deposited with the Notes Custodian, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Rule 144A Global Note may be

- 40 -

represented by more than one certificate, if so required by the Depositary’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

Notes offered and sold outside the United States of America in reliance on Regulation S (the “Regulation S Notes”) shall be issued initially in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A, including the appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Regulation S Global Note”), deposited with the Notes Custodian, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Regulation S Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by the Depositary’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

The Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note are sometimes collectively herein referred to as the “Global Notes.”

The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within the United States, or at such other office or agency of the Issuers as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3; provided, however, that, at the option of the Issuers, each installment of interest on the Notes may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Note Register or (ii) wire transfer or to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Definitive Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) held by a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept).

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A and in Section 2.1(d). The Issuers shall approve the forms of the Notes and any notation, endorsement or legend on them. Any such notation, endorsement or legend shall be furnished to the Trustee in writing. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuers and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

- 41 -

(iii) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(v) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(f) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Trustee shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount.

- 43 -

(vi) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.1(f), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

(vii) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

(f) Definitive Notes. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures. In addition, Definitive Notes shall be delivered to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as Depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days of such notice or, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary.

SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication. An Officer of each of the Issuers shall sign the Notes for the Issuers by manual, facsimile, PDF transmission or other electronically transmitted signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

- 44 -

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $280,000,000 and (2) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an unlimited principal amount, in each case upon a written order of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each of the Issuers (the “Issuer Order”). Such Issuer Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes.

The Trustee may (at the expense of the Issuers) appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

In case either of the Issuers, pursuant to Article IV, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which either of the Issuers shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuers shall cause each of the Registrar and the Paying Agent to maintain such an office or agency within the United States. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The Issuers may have one registrar and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

- 45 -

The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that is a Domestic Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Notes Custodian, Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuers may remove any Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuers and such successor Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee.

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of (premium, if any) or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal (premium, if any) or interest when due. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor in making any such payment. If either of the Issuers or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than an Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.5. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Rule 144A Note prior to the date which is one year after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which either of the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers was the owner of such Note (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”):

sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuers as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

(ii) a transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.6 from the proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuers or the Trustee, the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them.

(b) The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Regulation S Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period:

(i) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee, in the form of assignment on the reverse of the certificate, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuers as the undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

(ii) transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.6 from the proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuers or the Trustee, receipt by the Trustee or its agent of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them.

After the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Note may be transferred in accordance with applicable law without requiring the certification set forth in Section 2.6 or any additional certification.

(c) Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear such Restricted Notes Legend unless (i) an Initial Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Any Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend.

- 47 -

(d) The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.5 in accordance with its records retention policy.

Re: Quiksilver, Inc. and QS Wholesale, Inc. (the “Issuers”)

7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed sale of $         aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we confirm that such sale has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, we represent that:

(a) the offer of the Notes was not made to a person in the United States;

- 49 -

(b) either (i) at the time the buy order was originated, the transferee was outside the United States or we and any person acting on our behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was outside the United States or (ii) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated off-shore securities market and neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction has been pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States;

(c) no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(a)(2) or Rule 904(a)(2) of Regulation S, as applicable; and

(d) the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

In addition, if the sale is made during a restricted period and the provisions of Rule 903(b)(2) or Rule 904(b)(1) of Regulation S are applicable thereto, we confirm that such sale has been made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 903(b)(2) or Rule 904(b)(1), as the case may be. You and the Issuers are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Terms used in this certificate have the meanings set forth in Regulation S.

Very truly yours,
[Name of Transferor]
By:
	Authorized Signature

SECTION 2.7. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note. The Holder shall meet the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC, such that the Holder (a) notifies the Issuers and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuers prior to the Issuers having notice that the Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuers and the Trustee. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuers and the Trustee to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer. If a Note is replaced, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuers shall execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

- 50 -

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be redeemed or purchased by the Issuers pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Issuers in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay, redeem or purchase such Note, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.7, the Issuers may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, QS Wholesale, any Subsidiary Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.8. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those paid pursuant to Section 2.7, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding in the event the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers hold the Note except that the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers shall not obtain voting rights with respect to such Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes maturing and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.9. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuers for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes.

- 51 -

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and return to the Issuers all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the Global Note and on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

SECTION 2.11. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuers, at their election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Issuers may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons

- 52 -

entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuers, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 14.1, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b) The Issuers may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuers to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 2.12. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use of CUSIP or ISIN numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note or notice to Holders and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers. The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

(b) The foregoing paragraph (a) shall not prohibit the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness:

(3) Indebtedness of either of the Issuers owing to and held by the other Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) and Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by either of the Issuers or any other Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity); provided, however,

(a) if either of the Issuers is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the other Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes;

(b) if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the Company, QS Wholesale or a Subsidiary Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness constitutes a Guarantor Subordinated Obligation; and

(c) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held by a Person other than the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) of the Company, and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) of the Company shall be

- 55 -

deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.

(4) (a) Indebtedness represented by the Senior Notes issued on the Issue Date and the related Notes Guarantees and the exchange notes and exchange guarantees issued in a registered exchange offer pursuant to the registration rights agreement relating to the Senior Notes, (b) any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (6), (8), (9), (10) and (11)) outstanding on the Issue Date, (c) any Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the EMEA Lines of Credit, the Existing Boardriders Notes and any Guarantees thereof, (d) any Indebtedness Incurred with respect to a Qualified Receivables Transaction outstanding on the Issue Date and (e) any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (4) or clause (5) or Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3(a);

(6) Indebtedness under (a) Currency Agreements, Interest Rate Agreements and Commodity Agreements; provided, however, that (i) in the case of Currency Agreements and Commodity Agreements, such Currency Agreements and Commodity Agreements are related to business transactions of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business or (ii) in the case of Currency Agreements, Interest Rate Agreements and Commodity Agreements, such Currency Agreements, Interest Rate Agreements and Commodity Agreements are entered into for bona fide hedging purposes of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by the Company) and substantially correspond in terms of notional amount, duration, currencies and interest rates, as applicable, to Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be Incurred without violation of this Indenture and (b) Bank Products Obligations related to the ABL Credit Facility;

(10) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within seven Business Days of Incurrence;

(11) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries in an amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (11) and then outstanding, does not exceed the greater of (a) 4.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets and (b) $50,000,000 outstanding at any one time, in each case, less the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary Incurred (x) pursuant to clause (5) of this Section 3.3(b) and (y) pursuant to clause (4) of this Section 3.3(b) to refinance Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (5) of this Section 3.3(b);

(13) Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or a Subsidiary Guarantor incurred to finance an acquisition, provided that, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (13), either (a) the Company, QS Wholesale or such Subsidiary Guarantor would have been able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or (b) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries would not be less than immediately prior to such transaction; and

(14) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above, Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor Incurred after the Issue Date in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (14) and then outstanding, shall not exceed the greater of 4.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets and $50,000,000 outstanding at any one time.

(c) Neither of the Issuers shall Incur any Indebtedness under Section 3.3(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Subordinated Obligations of such Issuer unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Notes to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall Incur any Indebtedness under Section 3.3(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee to at least the same extent as such Guarantor Subordinated Obligations. No Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor may Incur any Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

(d) The Company and QS Wholesale shall not, directly or indirectly, Incur, or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to Incur, any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes, in the case of the Company or QS Wholesale, or the Notes Guarantees, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, to the same extent and the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or such Subsidiary Guarantor. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of such Indebtedness being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into one or more intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

- 58 -

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 3.3:

(1) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.3, the Company, in its sole discretion, may classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses, or later classify or reclassify all or a portion of such Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 3.3; provided that, the Company shall not be able to reclassify Indebtedness initially Incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3;

(2) all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the ABL Credit Facility or the Notes shall be deemed initially Incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3 and not paragraph (a) or clause (4) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3;

(3) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included;

(4) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3 and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

(5) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, shall be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof;

(6) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.3 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 Section 3.3 permitting such Indebtedness; and

(7) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

(f) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.3. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness

- 59 -

issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

(g) In addition, the Company shall not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 3.3, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 3.3).

(h) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

SECTION 3.4. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company and QS Wholesale shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to:

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of its Capital Stock (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries) except:

(a) dividends or distributions payable solely in the Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Company; and

(3) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations (other than the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case, due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement); or

(4) make any Restricted Investment in any Person;

(any such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, other acquisition, retirement or Restricted Investment referred to in clauses (1) through (4) shall be referred to herein as a “Restricted Payment”), if at the time the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

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

(b) the Company is not able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 3.3 after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Restricted Payment; or

(c) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date would exceed the sum of:

(i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income for the period (treated as one accounting period) beginning August 1, 2013 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which financial statements are in existence (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit);

(ii) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of non-cash consideration received by the Company from the issue or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) or other capital contributions subsequent to the Issue Date (other than Net Cash Proceeds received from an issuance or sale of such Capital Stock to a Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan, option plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination);

- 61 -

(iii) the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced on the Company’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Company) subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of any other property, distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange); and

(iv) the amount equal to the net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in any Person resulting from:

(A) repurchases or redemptions of such Restricted Investments by such Person, proceeds realized upon the sale of such Restricted Investment to an unaffiliated purchaser, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets (including by way of dividend or distribution) by such Person to the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

(B) the redesignation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries (valued, in each case, as provided in the definition of “Investment”) not to exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary,

which amount, in each case under this clause (iv), was included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; provided, however, that no amount shall be included under this clause (iv) to the extent it is already included in Consolidated Net Income.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not prohibit:

(1) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Capital Stock or Disqualified Stock of the Company, Subordinated Obligations of the Company or QS Wholesale or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the sale of, Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary or an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination) within 60 days of such sale; provided, however, that (a) such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments and (b) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale of Capital Stock shall be excluded from clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph;

- 62 -

(2) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations of the Company or QS Wholesale or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the sale of, Subordinated Obligations of the Company or QS Wholesale within 60 days of such sale or any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Guarantor Subordinated Obligations made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the sale of Guarantor Subordinated Obligations within 60 days of such sale that, in each case, is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3 and that, in each case, constitutes Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(3) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Disqualified Stock of the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the sale of Disqualified Stock of the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, within 60 days of such sale that, in each case, is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3 and that, in each case, constitutes Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(4) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any purchase or redemption of Subordinated Obligations of the Company or QS Wholesale or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor from Net Available Cash to the extent permitted under Section 3.7; provided, however, that such purchase or redemption shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(b) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that are not applied or invested as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition (or as extended pursuant to the proviso in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.7), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency), the Issuers (with respect to the Notes) and the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be (with respect to any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Notes or any Other Pari Passu Notes (each as defined below), as required by such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Notes or Other Pari Passu Notes, as the case may be) shall be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and (x) in the case of Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition of Notes Priority Collateral, to the extent required by the terms of other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, to all holders of other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company or QS Wholesale, as the case may be, to make an offer to purchase such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition (“Permitted Additional Pari Passu Notes”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes and any such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Notes to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds or (y) in the case of any other Net Available Cash, to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, to make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition (“Other Pari Passu Notes” and, together with the

- 68 -

Permitted Additional Pari Passu Notes, the “Pari Passu Notes”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Notes to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price shall, in each case, be cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes, as applicable, in each case, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Pari Passu Notes surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and the Pari Passu Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes. Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to such Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $25,000,000 or less.

(c) The Asset Disposition Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Issuers shall purchase the principal amount of Notes and the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, will purchase the principal amount of Pari Passu Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.7 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer.

(d) If the Asset Disposition Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer.

(e) On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes or portions of Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.7 and, in addition, the Company, QS

- 69 -

Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, shall deliver all certificates and notes required, if any, by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. The Company, QS Wholesale, Boardriders or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder or holder or lender of Pari Passu Notes, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes or Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, for purchase, and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, shall take any and all other actions, if any, required by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on the Asset Disposition Purchase Date.

SECTION 3.9. Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers shall not be obligated to repurchase Notes pursuant to this Section 3.9 if the Issuers have previously exercised their right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.1.

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

(f) The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(g) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control 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 this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

(i) The Issuers shall 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 Section 3.9. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.9, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Indenture by virtue of the conflict.

SECTION 3.10. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Company shall not permit any of its current or future Domestic Subsidiaries (other than QS Wholesale) to either (1) Guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any other Restricted Subsidiary or (2) otherwise become an obligor, including as a co-borrower, under a Credit Facility Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3.3(b), unless (i) such Domestic Subsidiary simultaneously (x) executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto, providing for a Notes Guarantee of such Domestic Subsidiary pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary shall fully and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations of the Issuers and the other Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, including the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on a senior basis and all other obligations under this Indenture and (y) executes and delivers supplements and/or joinders to the applicable Security Documents in order to grant a Lien in the Collateral owned by such Domestic Subsidiary to the same extent as that set forth in this Indenture and the Security Documents and take all actions required by the Security Documents to perfect such Lien; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Notes Guarantees, as the case may be, any such Guarantee of such Domestic Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Domestic Subsidiary’s Notes Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; (ii) such Domestic Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or

- 74 -

take the benefit or advantage of, any rights or reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company, QS Wholesale or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Domestic Subsidiary under its Notes Guarantee so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding; and (iii) such Domestic Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel with respect to corporate matters in connection with its Notes Guarantee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event a Subsidiary Guarantor is released and discharged from all of its obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) (1) under Guarantees of Indebtedness and other obligations under a Credit Facility and all other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries, and (2) as an obligor, including as a co-borrower, under a Credit Facility, then the Notes Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged. Upon any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Notes Guarantee, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall also be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the Security Documents.

SECTION 3.11. Effectiveness of Covenants. Following the first Business Day on which:

(a) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating;

(b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture; and

(c) the Company has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee with respect to the foregoing clauses (a) and (b),

the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of this Indenture described in Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 4.1(vi) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, one or both of S&P and Moody’s withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for all periods after that withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default and, furthermore, compliance with the provisions of Section 3.4 with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of the withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated in accordance with the terms of that covenant as though that covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date, provided that there will not be deemed to have occurred a Default or Event of Default with respect to that covenant during the time that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Suspended Covenants (or after that time based solely on events that occurred during that time). At the time of any such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default described in the immediately preceding sentence, all Indebtedness Incurred during the time that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Suspended Covenants will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (4) of Section 3.3(b).

- 75 -

SECTION 3.12. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuers shall maintain within the United States, an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment and where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The designated office of the Trustee shall be such office or agency of the Issuers for payment, unless the Issuers shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee as their agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency within the United States for such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 3.13. Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Issuers shall at any time act as their own Paying Agent, they shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of their action or failure to so act.

Whenever the Issuers shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, they shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Notes, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum in same day funds that shall be available to the Trustee by 10:00 a.m. New York City time on such due date sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such action or any failure to so act.

The Issuers shall cause each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.13, that such Paying Agent shall:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

- 76 -

(b) give the Trustee prompt written notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Issuers may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuers or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuers or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on Issuer Order, or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 3.14. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article IV, each of the Company and QS Wholesale shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and that of each Restricted Subsidiary and the corporate rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company, QS Wholesale and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that neither the Company nor QS Wholesale shall be required to preserve any such existence (except the Company and QS Wholesale), right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company, QS Wholesale and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not, and shall not be, disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 3.15. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a material liability or lien upon the property of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if necessary (in the good faith judgment of the Company) are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

- 77 -

SECTION 3.16. Maintenance of Properties. The Company and QS Wholesale shall cause all material properties owned by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in normal condition, repair and working order and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.16 shall prevent the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary and not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 3.17. Compliance with Laws. The Company and QS Wholesale shall comply, and the Company shall cause each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of the United States of America, all states and municipalities thereof, and of any governmental regulatory authority, in respect of the conduct of their respective businesses and the ownership of their respective properties, except for such noncompliances as would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.18. Compliance Certificate. The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company a certificate executed by an Officer of the Issuers stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as such officer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto. An Officer’s Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the then current Fiscal Year be changed to end on any date other than on the date as herein defined.

SECTION 3.19. After-Acquired Property. Promptly following the acquisition by an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property (but subject to the limitations, if applicable, set forth in this Indenture and the Security Documents), such Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements and, in the case of interests in real property, certificates and opinions of counsel, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in such After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property added to the Collateral and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

Redemption of Notes

SECTION 5.1. Optional Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, as a whole or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices specified in paragraph 5 of the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date (as defined below).

SECTION 5.2. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuers or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article V.

SECTION 5.3. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Issuers to redeem any Notes pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuers, the Issuers shall, upon not later than the earlier of the date that is 45 days prior to the redemption date (the “Redemption Date”) fixed by the Issuers or 15 days prior to the date on which notice is given to the Holders (except as provided in Section 5.5 or unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.4. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 5.4. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to an optional redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or, if such Notes are not so listed, the requirements of any Depositary holding the Global Notes or, if

- 81 -

the Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through a Depositary or such Depositary prescribes no method of selection, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee, in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements) and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of the Notes; provided, however, such redemption equals $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. No Notes of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part and no redemption will result in a Holder holding a Note of less than $2,000. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the method it has chosen for the selection of Notes and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 5.5. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 14.1 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. At the Issuers’ written request, the Trustee shall give notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at the Issuers’ expense; provided, however, that the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 35 days (or such shorter period of time as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice at the Issuers’ expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the following items.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date,

(ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.7, if any,

(iii) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the method for selecting the Notes to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption,

(iv) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder shall receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

- 82 -

(v) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.7) shall become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuers default in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption (or the portion thereof) shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

(vi) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any,

(vii) the name and address of the Paying Agent,

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

(ix) the CUSIP/ISIN numbers, that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP/ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes, and any redemption shall not be affected by any defect in such CUSIP/ISIN numbers, and

(x) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed.

Notices of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the Equity Offering.

SECTION 5.6. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company, QS Wholesale or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary is a Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that are beneficially owned by the Issuers and have been delivered by the Issuers to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 5.7. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes or portions of Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent in accordance with Section 5.5, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuers shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Issuers at the redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

- 83 -

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes.

SECTION 5.8. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article V) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.12 (with, if the Issuers or the Trustee so require, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Issuers, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided, that each such new Note will be issued in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

ARTICLE VI

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

(2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon acceleration or otherwise;

(a) is caused by a failure to pay at the final Stated Maturity the stated principal amount of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) (“payment default”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its maturity (the “cross acceleration provision”);

- 84 -

(5) the Company, QS Wholesale or a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(B) appoints a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law;

(9) unless all of the Collateral has been released from the Note Liens in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, (x) default by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the performance of the Security Documents which materially adversely affects the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Note Liens on a material portion of the Collateral, (y) the repudiation or disaffirmation by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its material obligations under the Security Documents or (z) the determination in a judicial proceeding that the Security Documents are unenforceable or invalid against the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor party thereto for any reason with respect to a material portion of the Collateral and, in the case of any event described in subclauses (x) through (z), such default, repudiation, disaffirmation or determination is not rescinded, stayed, or waived by the Persons having such authority pursuant to the Security Documents or otherwise cured within 60 days after the Issuers receive written notice thereof specifying such occurrence from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes and demanding that such default be remedied.

The foregoing shall 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 Company shall deliver to the Trustee, promptly, but in no event later than 30 days after, an Officer of the Company becomes aware of any events which would constitute an Event of Default under clauses (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) or (9) of this Section 6.1 in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, which Officer’s Certificate shall provide their status and what action the Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof.

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by

- 86 -

written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (4) of Section 6.1 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of Section 6.1 shall be remedied or cured by the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) an existing Default or Event of Default and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal, premium or interest on the Notes or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected, if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

- 87 -

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this 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 to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity 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 that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

- 88 -

SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7.

SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings (including, in particular, any insolvency proceedings pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law) relative to the Company, QS Wholesale, the Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it, its agents and its counsel pursuant to Section 7.7 and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. Subject to the terms of, and to the extent permitted by the terms of, the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, including any amounts received from the Collateral Agent, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Issuers.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuers shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable

- 89 -

costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Issuers, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

SECTION 7.1. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against loss, liability or expense.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or otherwise verify the contents thereof).

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1) this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1;

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5 or Section 6.6.

- 90 -

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuers.

(e) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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

SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document; but the Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, QS Wholesale and the Company’s Subsidiaries at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuers and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

- 91 -

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except (i), during any period it is serving as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes, any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 6.1(1) and 6.1(2), or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer shall have received written notification or obtained “actual knowledge.” “Actual knowledge” shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Responsible Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto.

(h) Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.2 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(k) The Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuers; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign.

SECTION 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Subsidiary Guarantors in

- 92 -

this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication or for the use or application of any funds received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any), or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the required repurchase provisions of such Note, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

SECTION 7.6. Notice of Listing. The Issuers agree to notify promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, and each of its officers, directors, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and the Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence, subject to the exceptions contained in Section 7.1(c).

To secure the Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors.

- 93 -

The Issuers’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Sections 6.1(5) or 6.1(6), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuers and the Trustee, as the case may be, in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuers shall remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(2) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(3) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7.

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

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation, banking association or other entity, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at

- 94 -

that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

ARTICLE VIII

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

SECTION 8.1. Satisfaction and Discharge. (a) Subject to Section 8.1(c), this Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder when (i) either (x) all Notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (y) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee pursuant to Article V in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but not including, the date of maturity or redemption; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound; (iii) the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture and not provided for by the deposit required by clause (i)(y) above; and (iv) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Issuers at their option and at any time may terminate (i) all the obligations of the Issuers and any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Notes Guarantees and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”), and after giving effect to such legal defeasance, any omission to comply with such obligations shall no longer

- 95 -

constitute a Default or Event of Default or (ii) the obligations of the Issuers and any Subsidiary Guarantor under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.19 and 4.1(vi), and the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant or provision, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or provision or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply with such covenants or provisions shall no longer constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Sections 6.1(3) , 6.1(4), 6.1(5) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(6) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(7), 6.1(8) and 6.1(9) (“covenant defeasance option”), but except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby. The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of their covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default, and the Notes Guarantees in effect at such time shall terminate. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(3) (but only as it relates to an Event of Default as a result of a default under Section 4.1(vi) or Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.19), 6.1(4), 6.1(5) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(6) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(7), 6.1(8) and 6.1(9) or because of the failure of the Company or QS Wholesale to comply with Section 4.1(vi).

(3) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness, all or a portion of which shall be used to defease the Notes concurrently with such incurrence);

(4) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries is bound;

(5) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) the Notes and (B) assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Issuers between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Issuers, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ right generally;

(6) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuers;

(7) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(8) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that (i) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and legal defeasance had not occurred;

(9) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

- 97 -

It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

SECTION 8.4. Repayment to the Issuers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon Issuer Order any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized independent firm of certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate any Government Obligations in order to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors.

ARTICLE IX

SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, a Notes Guarantee, the Notes or the Security Documents without notice to or consent of any Holder to:

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provided that such modification or amendment does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect; provided, further, that any amendment made solely to conform the provisions of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents to the description of the Notes or such Security Document, as the case may be, contained in the Offering Memorandum will not be deemed to materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders, all as provided in an Officer’s Certificate;

- 98 -

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and the Security Documents in accordance with Article IV;

(3) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided 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);

(4) add Guarantees with respect to the Notes or release a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or upon its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the designation is in accord with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(9) secure any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations under the Security Documents and to appropriately include the same in the Intercreditor Agreement;

- 99 -

(11) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

(12) provide for a reduction in the minimum denominations of the Notes; or

(13) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes.

After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1.

SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. The Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, a Notes Guarantee, the Notes or the Security Documents without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Any past default or non-compliance with any provision of this Indenture, a Notes Guarantee or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated 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 or repurchase of any Note or change the time at which any Note may or shall be redeemed or repurchased as described under Section 3.7, Section 3.9 or Article V or any similar provision, whether through an amendment or waiver of Section 3.7, Section 3.9 or Article V, related definitions or otherwise;

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

(6) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of, premium, if any, 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 which require each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions; or

(8) except in compliance with the terms thereof, modify the Notes Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders, or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Notes Guarantee or this Indenture.

- 100 -

In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Note Liens will require consent of the holders of at least 66 ²/₃% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2. The consent of the Collateral Agent shall not be necessary for any amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture, except for any amendment, supplement or waiver to Article X or XI or as to this sentence.

SECTION 9.3. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective or otherwise in accordance with any related solicitation documents. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (8) of Section 9.2, in which case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of the Note(s) that evidence(s) the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note(s). An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents under Section 9.1 or 9.2 as applicable.

The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall become valid or effective more than 120 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.4. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it

- 101 -

to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers or the Trustee so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.5. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and any Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE X

Intercreditor Agreement

SECTION 10.1. Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder by accepting a Note agrees that the Note Liens and any enforcement rights and the acceleration of remedies relating thereto are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Holders by accepting a Note hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Holders and agree that the Holders shall comply with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to them in their capacities as such to the same extent as if the Holders were parties thereto.

Additionally, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company enter into and direct the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to the Intercreditor Agreement or an additional intercreditor agreement with the agent for the holders of any ABL Obligations on terms and conditions that, in the good faith determination of the Company, are not less favorable to the Holders of Notes than the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and thereafter such amended or new intercreditor agreement shall be deemed to be the Intercreditor Agreement for all purposes of this Indenture.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Indenture, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and the Security Documents, the Trustee may, at the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, direct, on behalf of the Holders, the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

(1) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any or all of the Note Liens;

- 103 -

(2) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party; or

(3) collect and receive payment of any and all Indenture Obligations.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and at the Issuers’ sole cost and expense, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered by each Holder of Notes (by its acceptance thereof) to institute and maintain, or direct the Collateral Agent to institute and maintain, such suits and proceedings as it may deem reasonably expedient to protect or enforce the Note Liens or the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem reasonably expedient, at the Issuers’ sole cost and expense, to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Note Liens or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders or the Trustee.

Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be acting, giving, withholding, suffering, omitting, taking or otherwise undertaking and exercising the same (or shall not be undertaking and exercising the same) as directed by the Holders.

No later than the first date on which an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor receives any Trust Monies, there shall be established and, at all times thereafter until this Indenture shall have terminated, there shall be maintained with the Collateral Agent the Notes Loan Priority Account. The Notes Loan Priority Account shall be established and maintained (x) by the Collateral Agent at the office of the Collateral Agent or (y) at any other depositary institution described in clause (iv) of the definition of “Cash Equivalents,” so long as the Collateral Agent has Control (as defined in the Security Agreement) over such Notes Loan Priority Account; provided that Control shall not be required until the date that is 60 days after the date on which the Notes Loan Priority Account is established. For the avoidance of doubt, no other deposit account or securities account shall be, or shall be deemed to be, the Notes Loan Priority Account, and Trust Monies shall include only cash and Cash Equivalents required to be deposited into the Notes Loan Priority Account pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. The Issuers shall cause all Trust Monies (other than Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition) to be deposited in the Notes Loan Priority Account and shall cause Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition to be deposited in the Notes Loan Priority Account to the extent required by Section 12.2. Any such Trust Monies shall be held by and under the dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for its benefit and for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) as a part of the Collateral until released in accordance with this Article XII.

SECTION 12.2. Deposit of Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall deposit in the Notes Loan Priority Account (i) any amount required to be so deposited pursuant to clause (3) of Section 3.7(a), (ii) an amount equal to net cash proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 of any Notes Priority Collateral taken by eminent domain, expropriation or other similar governmental taking and (iii) an amount equal to net cash proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 of insurance upon any part of the Notes Priority Collateral. The net cash proceeds of any condemnation or casualty event described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence will be deemed to be Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition.

SECTION 12.3. Withdrawal of Net Available Cash in Connection with Reinvestments. To the extent that any Trust Monies consist of Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition, such Trust Monies may be withdrawn by the Issuers from such Notes Loan Priority Account (upon, if the notice of exclusive control is delivered with respect to such Notes Loan Priority Account in accordance with the terms thereof, the direction of the Trustee) to reimburse the Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantor for expenditures made, or to pay costs to be incurred, by the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with a reinvestment of such Net Available Cash or repayment of Indebtedness with such Net Available Cash, in each case in compliance with clause (4) of Section 3.7(a).

SECTION 12.4. Withdrawal of Net Available Cash to Fund an Asset Disposition Offer or Release Following an Asset Disposition Offer. To the extent that any Trust Monies consist of Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition and an Asset Disposition Offer has been made in accordance with Section 3.7(b), such Trust Monies may be withdrawn by the Issuers and shall be

- 106 -

paid by the Trustee to the Paying Agent for application in accordance with Section 3.7 upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate, dated not more than ten (10) days prior to the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, setting forth the amount of Excess Proceeds, as applicable, subject to the Asset Disposition Offer and the date on which Notes and Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations are to be purchased, and to the effect that:

(1) (x) such Trust Monies constitute Net Available Cash and (y) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.7, the Issuers have made an Asset Disposition Offer; and

(2) all conditions precedent and covenants herein provided for such application of Trust Monies have been satisfied.

Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.4, the Trustee shall apply the Trust Monies as directed and specified by the Issuers, subject to Section 3.7 (including to return to the Issuers any such amount of Excess Proceeds that is subject to the Asset Disposition Offer and which is not required to be applied to the purchase of Notes, Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations or other Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.7).

SECTION 12.5. Investment of Trust Monies. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any part of any Trust Monies held by (or held in an account subject to the sole Control of) the Collateral Agent shall from time to time be invested or reinvested in any Cash Equivalents pursuant to a request by the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, which shall specify the Cash Equivalents in which such Trust Monies shall be invested and shall certify that such investments constitute Cash Equivalents; and such Cash Equivalent may only be sold upon receipt of a written request by the Company specifying the particular Cash Equivalent to be sold. So long as no Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, any interest or dividends accrued, earned or paid on such Cash Equivalents (in excess of any accrued interest or dividends paid at the time of purchase) that may be received by the Collateral Agent shall be forthwith paid to the Issuers. Such Cash Equivalents shall be held by (or held in an account subject to the sole Control of) the Collateral Agent as a part of the Collateral, subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash used by it to purchase such Cash Equivalents.

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, fee, tax or other charge resulting from such investments, reinvestments or sales except only for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct in complying with this Section 12.5.

SECTION 12.6. Application of Other Trust Monies. The Collateral Agent shall return all Trust Monies to the Issuers upon any legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article VIII.

Notes Guarantees

SECTION 13.1. Guarantees. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantee, on a senior secured basis and as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Subsidiary Guarantor, to each Holder and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Issuers under this Indenture (including without limitation interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). The Obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes Guarantees shall rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of each such Subsidiary Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is expressly subordinate to the obligations arising under the Notes Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article XIII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor; or (f) any change in the ownership of the Company or QS Wholesale. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or

- 108 -

omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Guarantee upon the merger, amalgamation or the sale of all the Capital Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor in compliance with Section 13.2 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 13.1.

SECTION 13.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Revolving Credit Facility) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

- 109 -

(b) In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, amalgamation, consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation in such transaction to a Person which is not the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Receivables Entity), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released (without any further action on the part of any Person) from its obligations under this Indenture and its Notes Guarantee if: (1) the sale or other disposition is in compliance with this Indenture, including Section 3.7 (it being understood that only such portion of the Net Available Cash as is required to be applied on or before the date of such sale or other disposition in accordance with the terms of this Indenture needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time) and Section 3.10; and (2) all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under all Credit Facilities and related documentation and any other agreements relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary terminate upon consummation of such transaction.

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all its obligations under this Indenture and its Notes Guarantee, and such Notes Guarantee shall terminate, upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII.

(d) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and its Notes Guarantee, and such Notes Guarantee shall terminate, if (1) such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Guarantees of, and all pledges and security interests granted in connection with, a Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary or (2) the Company designates such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

(e) Upon any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Notes Guarantee, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall also be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the Security Documents.

SECTION 13.3. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Notes Guarantees, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 13.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 13.4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in

- 110 -

respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders by the Issuers on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

SECTION 13.5. Execution and Delivery of Notes Guarantee. To evidence its Notes Guarantee set forth in Section 13.1, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Notes Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit B shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Notes Guarantee set forth in Section 13.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Notes Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Notes Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Notes Guarantee is endorsed, the Notes Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF 7.875% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2018]

7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018

1 Interest

Quiksilver, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and QS Wholesale, Inc., a California corporation (“QS Wholesale” and, together with the Company and their respective successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

The Issuers shall pay interest semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2014. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from July 16, 2013. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal or premium, if any (plus interest on such interest to the extent lawful), at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2 Method of Payment

By no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of (premium, if any) or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest. The Issuers shall pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 15 and July 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are cancelled or repurchased after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuers shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. The Issuers shall make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof as such address shall appear on the Note Register; provided, however, that payments on the Notes represented by Definitive Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept).

3 Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that is a Domestic Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4 Indenture

The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 16, 2013 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are general secured senior obligations of the Issuers. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 issued under the Indenture on July 16, 2013 (herein called “Initial Notes”) and (ii) if and when issued, additional 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 of the Issuers that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to July 16, 2013 (herein called “Additional Notes”). The Initial Notes and Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes, among other things, certain limitations on the Incurrence of Indebtedness by the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, the payment of dividends and other distributions on the Capital Stock of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, the purchase or redemption of Capital Stock of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, certain purchases or redemptions of Subordinated Obligations, the sale or transfer of assets and Capital Stock of Subsidiaries, the incurrence of certain Liens, transactions with Affiliates, mergers and consolidations and investments of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, provided, however, certain of such limitations shall be suspended if the Notes attain an Investment Grade Rating. In addition, the Indenture limits the ability of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into agreements that restrict distributions and dividends from Restricted Subsidiaries and requires the Company to make available SEC information to the Holders as well as requiring certain Restricted Subsidiaries to guarantee the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

5 Redemption

Except as described below, the Notes are not redeemable until February 1, 2016. On and after February 1, 2016, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable 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 twelve-month period beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below:

YEAR	PERCENTAGE
2016		103.938	%
2017		101.969	%
2018 and thereafter		100.000	%

A-4

Prior to February 1, 2016, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price of 107.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that:

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

(2) the redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.

Prior to February 1, 2016, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, 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 the optional Redemption Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Issuers. On and after a Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed, the requirements of any Depositary holding the Global Notes or, if the Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through a Depositary or such Depositary prescribes no method of selection, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate; provided that with respect to any Note, such redemption equals $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part and no redemption shall result in a Holder holding a Note of less than $2,000. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

A-5

Notices of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the Equity Offering.

The Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Issuers may at any time, and from time to time, purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, at different market prices, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws.

6 Put Provisions

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, any Holder shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. The Issuers shall be required to make an Asset Disposition Offer in certain circumstances described in the Indenture.

7 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period beginning (1) 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date.

8 Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9 Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuers at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuers and not to the Trustee for payment.

10 Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers at any time may terminate some or all of their obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee money or Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to maturity.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to comply with Article IV or Article XIII of the Indenture in respect of the assumption by the Successor Issuer of an obligation of the applicable Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes or release a Subsidiary Guarantor upon its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or otherwise in accordance with the Indenture, to add to the Collateral securing the Notes, to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Security Documents, to secure any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations under the Security Documents, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to provide for successor trustees and/or collateral agents.

12 Defaults and Remedies

Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (each of which are more specifically described in the Indenture) (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest or additional interest when due on the Notes; (ii) default in payment of principal or premium, if any, on the Notes at Stated Maturity, upon required repurchase or upon optional redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof, upon acceleration or otherwise; (iii) the failure by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of default under any of the obligations, covenants, or agreements of the Company, QS Wholesale or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, contained in the Indenture or the Notes; (iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or is recourse to the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries, by contract or operation of law), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay at the final Stated Maturity the stated principal amount or to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in

A-7

such Indebtedness (“payment default”) or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its final maturity (the “cross acceleration provision”) and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25,000,000 or more; (v) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, QS Wholesale or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (the “bankruptcy provisions”); (vi) failure by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25,000,000 (net of any amounts that a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability for in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days (the “judgment default provision”); (vii) any Notes Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of the Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Indenture or its Notes Guarantee; or (viii) (x) default by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the performance of the Security Documents which materially adversely affects the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Note Liens on a material portion of the Collateral, (y) the repudiation or disaffirmation by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its material obligations under the Security Documents or (z) the determination in a judicial proceeding that the Security Documents are unenforceable or invalid against the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor party thereto for any reason with respect to a material portion of the Collateral and such default, repudiation, disaffirmation or determination is not cured within 60 days after the Issuers receive written notice thereof from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. However, a default under clause (iii) or (viii) above will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuers of the default and the Issuers do not cure such default within the time specified in such clause after receipt of such notice. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (v) above) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clause (v) above occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

14 No Recourse Against Others

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or QS Wholesale shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Notes or the Indenture or the Notes Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

- 8 -

calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Incurrence, discharge, disposition, Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition of assets occurred on the first day of such period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company (including any pro forma expense and cost reductions and related adjustments calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act).

(6) net cash costs associated with Hedging Obligations (including amortization of fees) provided, however, that if Hedging Obligations result in net cash benefits rather than costs, such net cash benefits shall be credited to reduce Consolidated Interest Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such net cash benefits are otherwise reflected in Consolidated Net Income;

(iii) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(iv) The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(v) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(f) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Trustee shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount.

(vi) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.1(f), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

(vii) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

- 42 -

(f) Definitive Notes. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures. In addition, Definitive Notes shall be delivered to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as Depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days of such notice or, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary.

SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication. An Officer of each of the Issuers shall sign the Notes for the Issuers by manual, facsimile, PDF transmission or other electronically transmitted signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000, (2) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an unlimited principal amount and (3) Exchange Notes for issue only in an Exchange Offer pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement or upon resale under an effective Shelf Registration Statement, and only in exchange for Initial Notes or

- 43 -

Additional Notes, as the case may be, of an equal principal amount, in each case upon a written order of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each of the Issuers (the “Issuer Order”). Such Issuer Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes or Exchange Notes.

The Trustee may (at the expense of the Issuers) appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

In case either of the Issuers, pursuant to Article IV, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which either of the Issuers shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuers shall cause each of the Registrar and the Paying Agent to maintain such an office or agency within the United States. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The Issuers may have one registrar and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that is a Domestic Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

- 44 -

The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Notes Custodian, Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuers may remove any Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuers and such successor Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Notes Custodian, Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee.

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of (premium, if any) or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal (premium, if any) or interest when due. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor in making any such payment. If either of the Issuers or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than an Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.5. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar or to the extent otherwise required under the TIA, the Issuers, on their own behalf and on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor, shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing within 15 days, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders and the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Rule 144A Note prior to the date which is one year after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which either of the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers was the owner of such Note (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”):

After the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Note may be transferred in accordance with applicable law without requiring the certification set forth in Section 2.7 or any additional certification.

(c) Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear such Restricted Notes Legend unless (i) Initial Notes or Additional Notes are being exchanged for Exchange Notes in an Exchange Offer, in which case the Exchange Notes shall not bear a Restricted Notes Legend, (ii) an Initial Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (iii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

- 46 -

(d) The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.6 in accordance with its records retention policy.

Re: Quiksilver, Inc. and QS Wholesale, Inc. (the “Issuers”)

10.000% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed sale of $         aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we confirm that such sale has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, we represent that:

(a) the offer of the Notes was not made to a person in the United States;

- 48 -

(b) either (i) at the time the buy order was originated, the transferee was outside the United States or we and any person acting on our behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was outside the United States or (ii) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated off-shore securities market and neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction has been pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States;

(c) no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(a)(2) or Rule 904(a)(2) of Regulation S, as applicable; and

(d) the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

In addition, if the sale is made during a restricted period and the provisions of Rule 903(b)(2) or Rule 904(b)(1) of Regulation S are applicable thereto, we confirm that such sale has been made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 903(b)(2) or Rule 904(b)(1), as the case may be.

SECTION 2.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note. The Holder shall meet the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code, such that the Holder (a) notifies the Issuers and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuers prior to the Issuers having notice that the Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuers and the Trustee. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuers and the Trustee to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer. If a Note is replaced, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuers shall execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and

- 49 -

deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be redeemed or purchased by the Issuers pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Issuers in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay, redeem or purchase such Note, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.8, the Issuers may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, QS Wholesale, any Subsidiary Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 2.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.9. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those paid pursuant to Section 2.8, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding in the event the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers hold the Note except that the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers shall not obtain voting rights with respect to such Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes maturing and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary

- 50 -

Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuers for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and return to the Issuers all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the Global Note and on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

SECTION 2.12. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuers, at their election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Issuers may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee an amount

- 51 -

of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuers, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 11.2, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b) The Issuers may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuers to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 2.13. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use of CUSIP or ISIN numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note or notice to Holders and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers. The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.3. Limitation on Indebtedness.

(b) if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the Company, QS Wholesale or a Subsidiary Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness constitutes a Guarantor Subordinated Obligation; and

(c) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held by a Person other than the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) of

- 54 -

the Company, and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) of the Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.

(4) (a) Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued on the Issue Date and the related Notes Guarantees and the Exchange Notes and exchange guarantees issued in a registered Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, (b) any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (6), (8), (9), (10) and (11)) outstanding on the Issue Date, (c) any Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the EMEA Lines of Credit, the Existing Boardriders Notes and any Guarantees thereof, (d) any Indebtedness Incurred with respect to a Qualified Receivables Transaction outstanding on the Issue Date and (e) any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (4) or clause (5) or Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3(a);

(10) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within seven Business Days of Incurrence;

(14) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above, Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor Incurred after the Issue Date in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (14) and then outstanding, shall not exceed the greater of 4.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets and $50,000,000 outstanding at any one time.

(c) Neither of the Issuers shall Incur any Indebtedness under Section 3.3(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Subordinated Obligations of such Issuer unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Notes to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall Incur any Indebtedness under Section 3.3(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee to at least the same extent as such Guarantor Subordinated Obligations. No Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor may Incur any Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

(d) The Company and QS Wholesale shall not, directly or indirectly, Incur, or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to Incur, any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes, in the case of the Company or QS Wholesale, or the Notes Guarantees, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, to the same extent and the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or such Subsidiary Guarantor. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of such Indebtedness being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into one or more intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

- 57 -

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 3.3:

(1) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.3, the Company, in its sole discretion, may classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses, or later classify or reclassify all or a portion of such Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 3.3; provided that, the Company shall not be able to reclassify Indebtedness initially Incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3;

(2) all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the ABL Credit Facility or the Senior Secured Notes shall be deemed initially Incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3 and not paragraph (a) or clause (4) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3;

(3) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included;

(4) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3 and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

(5) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, shall be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof;

(6) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.3 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 Section 3.3 permitting such Indebtedness; and

(7) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

(f) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in

- 58 -

the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.3. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

(g) In addition, the Company shall not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 3.3, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 3.3).

(h) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

SECTION 3.4. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company and QS Wholesale shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to:

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of its Capital Stock (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries) except:

(a) dividends or distributions payable solely in the Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Company; and

(b) dividends or distributions payable to the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (and if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, to its other holders of Capital Stock on a pro rata basis);

- 59 -

(2) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company held by Persons other than the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than in exchange for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock));

(3) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations (other than the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case, due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement); or

(4) make any Restricted Investment in any Person;

(any such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, other acquisition, retirement or Restricted Investment referred to in clauses (1) through (4) shall be referred to herein as a “Restricted Payment”), if at the time the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

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

(b) the Company is not able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 3.3 after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Restricted Payment; or

(c) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date would exceed the sum of:

(i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income for the period (treated as one accounting period) beginning August 1, 2013 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which financial statements are in existence (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit);

(ii) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of non-cash consideration received by the Company from the issue or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) or other capital contributions subsequent to the Issue Date (other than Net Cash

- 60 -

Proceeds received from an issuance or sale of such Capital Stock to a Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan, option plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination);

(iii) the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced on the Company’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Company) subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Restricted Subsidiaries convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of any other property, distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange); and

(iv) the amount equal to the net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in any Person resulting from:

SECTION 3.7. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Company and QS Wholesale shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition unless: (1) the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition), as determined in good faith by the Company (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; (2) except in the case of Permitted Asset Swaps, at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, at the option of the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be: (a) to prepay, repay or purchase Notes or other Indebtedness of the Company or QS Wholesale (other than Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Indebtedness of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (a), the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary shall retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; (b) to acquire Additional Assets or make capital expenditures

- 66 -

within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; or (c) to do any combination of the foregoing; provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (a), (b) or (c) above, the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture; provided further that the Company and QS Wholesale will be deemed to have complied with the provision described in clause (b) above if, and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Disposition that generated the Net Available Cash, the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire Additional Assets or make such capital expenditures, and that acquisition is thereafter completed or the capital expenditures thereafter made within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period.

(b) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that are not applied or invested as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition (or as extended pursuant to the proviso in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.7), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency), the Issuers (with respect to the Notes) and the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be (with respect to any Pari Passu Notes (as defined below), as required by such Pari Passu Notes) shall be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, to make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition (“Pari Passu Notes”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Notes to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes, as applicable, in each case, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Pari Passu Notes surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and the Pari Passu Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes. Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to such Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $25,000,000 or less.

(c) The Asset Disposition Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the

- 67 -

termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Issuers shall purchase the principal amount of Notes and the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, will purchase the principal amount of Pari Passu Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.7 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer.

(d) If the Asset Disposition Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer.

(e) On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes or portions of Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.7 and, in addition, the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, shall deliver all certificates and notes required, if any, by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. The Company, QS Wholesale, Boardriders or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder or holder or lender of Pari Passu Notes, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes or Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, for purchase, and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, the Company, QS Wholesale or Boardriders, as the case may be, shall take any and all other actions, if any, required by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on the Asset Disposition Purchase Date.

(g) The Issuers shall 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 Section 3.7. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.7, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Indenture by virtue of any conflict.

(a) The Company and QS Wholesale shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $2,500,000 unless: (1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company, QS Wholesale or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and (2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $10,000,000, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and by a majority of the members of such Board having no personal stake in such transaction, if any (and such majority or majorities, as the case may be, determines that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (1) above).

(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes so tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate specifying the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Issuers. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail, to each Holder of Notes so accepted, payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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

(f) The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(g) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control 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 this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

(i) The Issuers shall 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 Section 3.9. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.9, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Indenture by virtue of the conflict.

SECTION 3.10. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Company shall not permit any of its current or future Domestic Subsidiaries (other than QS Wholesale) to either (1) Guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any other Restricted Subsidiary or (2) otherwise become an obligor, including as a co-borrower, under a Credit Facility Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3.3(b), unless (i) such Domestic Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Notes Guarantee of such Domestic

- 72 -

Subsidiary pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary shall fully and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations of the Issuers and the other Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, including the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on a senior basis and all other obligations under this Indenture; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Notes Guarantees, as the case may be, any such Guarantee of such Domestic Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Domestic Subsidiary’s Notes Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; (ii) such Domestic Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights or reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company, QS Wholesale or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Domestic Subsidiary under its Notes Guarantee so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding; and (iii) such Domestic Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel with respect to corporate matters in connection with its Notes Guarantee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event a Subsidiary Guarantor is released and discharged from all of its obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) (1) under Guarantees of Indebtedness and other obligations under a Credit Facility and all other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries, and (2) as an obligor, including as a co-borrower, under a Credit Facility, then the Notes Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged.

SECTION 3.11. Effectiveness of Covenants. Following the first Business Day on which:

(a) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating;

(b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture; and

(c) the Company has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee with respect to the foregoing clauses (a) and (b),

the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of this Indenture described in Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 4.1(iii) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, one or both of S&P and Moody’s withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for all periods after that withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default and, furthermore, compliance with the provisions of Section 3.4 with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of the withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated in accordance with the terms of that covenant as though that covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date, provided that

- 73 -

there will not be deemed to have occurred a Default or Event of Default with respect to that covenant during the time that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Suspended Covenants (or after that time based solely on events that occurred during that time). At the time of any such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default described in the immediately preceding sentence, all Indebtedness Incurred during the time that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Suspended Covenants will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (4) of Section 3.3(b).

SECTION 3.12. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuers shall maintain within the United States, an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment and where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The designated office of the Trustee shall be such office or agency of the Issuers for payment, unless the Issuers shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee as their agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency within the United States for such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 3.13. Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Issuers shall at any time act as their own Paying Agent, they shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of their action or failure to so act.

Whenever the Issuers shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, they shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Notes, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum in same day funds that shall be available to the Trustee by 10:00 a.m. New York City time on such due date sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such action or any failure to so act.

- 74 -

The Issuers shall cause each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.13, that such Paying Agent shall:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(b) give the Trustee prompt written notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Issuers may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuers or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuers or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on Issuer Order, or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 3.14. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article IV, each of the Company and QS Wholesale shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and that of each Restricted Subsidiary and the corporate rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company, QS Wholesale and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that neither the Company nor QS Wholesale shall be required to preserve any such existence (except the Company and QS Wholesale), right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company, QS Wholesale and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not, and shall not be, disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 3.15. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by

- 75 -

law become a material liability or lien upon the property of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if necessary (in the good faith judgment of the Company) are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 3.16. Maintenance of Properties. The Company and QS Wholesale shall cause all material properties owned by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in normal condition, repair and working order and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.16 shall prevent the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary and not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 3.17. Compliance with Laws. The Company and QS Wholesale shall comply, and the Company shall cause each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of the United States of America, all states and municipalities thereof, and of any governmental regulatory authority, in respect of the conduct of their respective businesses and the ownership of their respective properties, except for such noncompliances as would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.18. Compliance Certificate. The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company a certificate executed by an Officer of the Issuers stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as such officer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto. The Issuers also shall comply with TIA Section 314(a)(4). An Officer’s Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the then current Fiscal Year be changed to end on any date other than on the date as herein defined.

SECTION 3.19. Additional Interest Notices. In the event that the Issuers are required to pay additional interest to Holders pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers shall provide written notice (“Additional Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of the Issuers’ obligation to pay additional interest no later than five Business Days prior to the proposed payment date set for the amount of additional interest, and the Additional Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of additional interest to be paid by the Issuers on such Payment Date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the additional interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of additional interest when made, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the additional interest.

ARTICLE IV

Successor Issuer and Successor Subsidiary Guarantor

SECTION 4.1. Merger and Consolidation. Neither of the Issuers will consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person, unless:

(i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Issuer”) will be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and the Successor Issuer (if not an Issuer) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture;

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

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, (a) the Successor Issuer would be able to Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or (b) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Successor Issuer would not be less than immediately prior to such transaction;

(iv) each Subsidiary Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case clause (i) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Notes Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes and its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement shall continue to be in effect; and

(v) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

For purposes of this Article IV, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company or QS Wholesale, which properties and assets, if held by the Company or QS Wholesale, as the case may be, instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company or QS Wholesale, as the case may be, on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company or QS Wholesale, as the case may be.

- 77 -

The Successor Issuer will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or QS Wholesale, as the case may be, under this Indenture, but, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the Company or QS Wholesale, as the case may be, will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 4.1(iii), (x) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or QS Wholesale and (y) the Company or QS Wholesale may merge with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company or QS Wholesale, as the case may be, in another jurisdiction to realize tax or other benefits; provided that, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that merges into the Company or QS Wholesale, the Company shall not be required to comply with Section 4.1(v).

In addition, the Company shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into any Person (other than the Company, QS Wholesale or another Subsidiary Guarantor) and shall not permit the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person (other than to the Company, QS Wholesale or another Subsidiary Guarantor) unless: (i) (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person shall be a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and, in each case, such Person (if not such Subsidiary Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Person or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default of Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture; or (ii) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 3.7.

ARTICLE V

Redemption of Notes

SECTION 5.1. Optional Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, as a whole or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices specified in paragraph 5 of the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date (as defined below).

SECTION 5.2. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuers or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article V.

- 78 -

SECTION 5.3. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Issuers to redeem any Notes pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuers, the Issuers shall, upon not later than the earlier of the date that is 45 days prior to the redemption date (the “Redemption Date”) fixed by the Issuers or 15 days prior to the date on which notice is given to the Holders (except as provided in Section 5.5 or unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.4. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 5.4. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to an optional redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or, if such Notes are not so listed, the requirements of any Depositary holding the Global Notes or, if the Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through a Depositary or such Depositary prescribes no method of selection, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee, in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements) and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of the Notes; provided, however, such redemption equals $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. No Notes of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part and no redemption will result in a Holder holding a Note of less than $2,000. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the method it has chosen for the selection of Notes and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 5.5. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 11.2 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. At the Issuers’ written request, the Trustee shall give notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at the Issuers’ expense; provided, however, that the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 35 days (or such shorter period of time as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice at the Issuers’ expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the following items.

- 79 -

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date,

(ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.7, if any,

(iii) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the method for selecting the Notes to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption,

(iv) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder shall receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

(v) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.7) shall become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuers default in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption (or the portion thereof) shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

(vi) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any,

(vii) the name and address of the Paying Agent,

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

(ix) the CUSIP/ISIN numbers, that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP/ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes, and any redemption shall not be affected by any defect in such CUSIP/ISIN numbers, and

(x) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed.

Notices of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the Equity Offering.

SECTION 5.6. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company, QS Wholesale or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary is a Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money

- 80 -

sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that are beneficially owned by the Issuers and have been delivered by the Issuers to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 5.7. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes or portions of Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent in accordance with Section 5.5, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuers shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Issuers at the redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes.

SECTION 5.8. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article V) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.12 (with, if the Issuers or the Trustee so require, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Issuers, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided, that each such new Note will be issued in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

ARTICLE VI

(C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law; and

(D) in each case, the order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(7) failure by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25,000,000 (net of any amounts that a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability for in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days (the “judgment default provision”); or

(8) any Notes Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or its Notes Guarantee.

The foregoing shall 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 Company shall deliver to the Trustee, promptly, but in no event later than 30 days after, an Officer of the Company becomes aware of any events which would constitute an Event of Default under clauses (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (8) of this Section 6.1 in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, which Officer’s Certificate shall provide their status and what action the Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof.

- 83 -

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (4) of Section 6.1 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of Section 6.1 shall be remedied or cured by the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) an existing Default or Event of Default and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal, premium or interest on the Notes or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected, if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

- 84 -

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this 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 to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity 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 that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

- 85 -

SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7.

SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings (including, in particular, any insolvency proceedings pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law) relative to the Company, QS Wholesale, the Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it, its agents and its counsel pursuant to Section 7.7 and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Issuers.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuers shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable

- 86 -

costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Issuers, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

SECTION 7.1. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against loss, liability or expense.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or otherwise verify the contents thereof).

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1) this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1;

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5 or Section 6.6.

- 87 -

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuers.

(e) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1 and to the provisions of the TIA.

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

SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document; but the Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall

- 88 -

determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, QS Wholesale and the Company’s Subsidiaries at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuers and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except (i), during any period it is serving as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes, any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 6.1(1) and 6.1(2), or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer shall have received written notification or obtained “actual knowledge.” “Actual knowledge” shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Responsible Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto.

(h) Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.2 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(k) The Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuers; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign.

- 89 -

SECTION 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company, QS Wholesale or the Subsidiary Guarantors in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication or for the use or application of any funds received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any), or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the required repurchase provisions of such Note, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

SECTION 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each January 15 beginning with the January 15 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to March 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such January 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a), if and to the extent such report may be required by the TIA. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports required by TIA Section 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Issuers agree to notify promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, and each of its officers, directors, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and the Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so

- 90 -

notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence, subject to the exceptions contained in Section 7.1(c).

To secure the Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Issuers’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Sections 6.1(5) or 6.1(6), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuers and the Trustee, as the case may be, in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuers shall remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7.

- 91 -

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in TIA Section 310(b), any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation, banking association or other entity, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent filed annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b).

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuers. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuers, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

ARTICLE VIII

SECTION 8.1. Satisfaction and Discharge. (a) Subject to Section 8.1(c), this Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder when (i) either (x) all Notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from

- 92 -

such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (y) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee pursuant to Article V in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but not including, the date of maturity or redemption; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound; (iii) the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture and not provided for by the deposit required by clause (i)(y) above; and (iv) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Issuers at their option and at any time may terminate (i) all the obligations of the Issuers and any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Notes Guarantees and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”), and after giving effect to such legal defeasance, any omission to comply with such obligations shall no longer constitute a Default or Event of Default or (ii) the obligations of the Issuers and any Subsidiary Guarantor under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 4.1(iii), and the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant or provision, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or provision or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply with such covenants or provisions shall no longer constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Sections 6.1(3), 6.1(4), 6.1(5) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(6) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(7) and 6.1(8) (“covenant defeasance option”), but except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby. The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of their covenant defeasance option.

- 93 -

If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default, and the Notes Guarantees in effect at such time shall terminate. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(3) (but only as it relates to an Event of Default as a result of a default under Section 4.1(iii) or Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9), 6.1(4), 6.1(5) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(6) (but only with respect to a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(7) and 6.1(8) or because of the failure of the Company or QS Wholesale to comply with Section 4.1(iii).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuers, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuers terminate.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.1(a) and (b), the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 7.1, 7.2, 7.7, 7.8, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in Sections 7.7, 8.4 and 8.5 shall survive.

SECTION 8.2. Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option only if:

(1) the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders money in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations or a combination thereof the principal of and interest (without reinvestment) on which shall be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be;

(2) in the case of a deposit of U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized independent firm of certified public accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment shall provide cash at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Notes to redemption or maturity;

(3) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness, all or a portion of which shall be used to defease the Notes concurrently with such incurrence);

(4) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company, QS Wholesale or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries is bound;

- 94 -

(5) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) the Notes and (B) assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Issuers between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Issuers, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ right generally;

(6) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuers;

(7) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(8) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that (i) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and legal defeasance had not occurred;

(9) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

(10) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes and this Indenture as contemplated by this Article VIII have been complied with.

SECTION 8.3. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

SECTION 8.4. Repayment to the Issuers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon Issuer Order any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized independent firm of certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof

- 95 -

which would then be required to be deposited to effect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate any Government Obligations in order to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors.

SECTION 8.5. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuers shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such Government Obligations.

SECTION 8.6. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuers have made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

Amendments

SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, a Notes Guarantee or the Notes without notice to or consent of any Holder to:

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provided that such modification or amendment does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect; provided, further, that any amendment made solely to conform the provisions of this Indenture to the description of the Notes contained in the Offering Memorandum will not be deemed to materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders, all as provided in an Officer’s Certificate;

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture in accordance with Article IV;

(3) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided 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);

- 96 -

(4) add Guarantees with respect to the Notes or release a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or upon its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the designation is in accord with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(5) secure the Notes;

(6) evidence and provide for successor trustees;

(7) add to the covenants of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor;

(8) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

(9) comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(10) provide for the issuance of Exchange Notes which shall have terms substantially identical in all respects to the Notes (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the Notes shall be modified or eliminated as appropriate) and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Notes, as a single class of securities;

(11) provide for a reduction in the minimum denominations of the Notes; or

(12) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes.

After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1.

SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. The Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, a Notes Guarantee or the Notes without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Any past default or non-compliance with any provision of this Indenture, a Notes Guarantee or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

- 97 -

(2) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated 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 or repurchase of any Note or change the time at which any Note may or shall be redeemed or repurchased as described under Section 3.7, Section 3.9 or Article V or any similar provision, whether through an amendment or waiver of Section 3.7, Section 3.9 or Article V, related definitions or otherwise;

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

(6) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of, premium, if any, 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 which require each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions; or

(8) except in compliance with the terms thereof, modify the Notes Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders, or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Notes Guarantee or this Indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2.

SECTION 9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture, a Notes Guarantee or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the

- 98 -

amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective or otherwise in accordance with any related solicitation documents. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (8) of Section 9.2, in which case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of the Note(s) that evidence(s) the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note(s). An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents under Section 9.1 or 9.2 as applicable.

The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall become valid or effective more than 120 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers or the Trustee so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.6. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and any Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.3).

ARTICLE X

Notes Guarantees

SECTION 10.1. Guarantees. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis and as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Subsidiary Guarantor, to each Holder and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and

- 99 -

liabilities of the Issuers under this Indenture (including without limitation interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company, QS Wholesale or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). The Obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes Guarantees shall rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of each such Subsidiary Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is expressly subordinate to the obligations arising under the Notes Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor; or (f) any change in the ownership of the Company or QS Wholesale. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Guarantee upon the merger, amalgamation or the sale of all the Capital Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor in compliance with Section 10.2 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may

- 100 -

be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.1.

SECTION 10.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Revolving Credit Facility) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

(b) In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, amalgamation, consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation in such transaction to a Person which is not the Company, QS Wholesale or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Receivables Entity), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released (without any further action on the part of any Person) from its obligations under this Indenture, its Notes Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement if: (1) the sale or other disposition is in compliance with this Indenture, including Section 3.7 (it being understood that only such portion of the Net Available Cash as is required to be applied on or before the date of such sale or other disposition in accordance with the terms of this Indenture needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time) and Section 3.10; and

- 101 -

(2) all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under all Credit Facilities and related documentation and any other agreements relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary terminate upon consummation of such transaction.

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all its obligations under this Indenture, its Notes Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement, and such Notes Guarantee shall terminate, upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII.

(d) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all of its obligations under this Indenture, its Notes Guarantee, and the Registration Rights Agreement, and such Notes Guarantee shall terminate, if (1) such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Guarantees of, and all pledges and security interests granted in connection with, a Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness of the Company, QS Wholesale or any Restricted Subsidiary or (2) the Company designates such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.3. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Notes Guarantees, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 10.4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuers on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

SECTION 10.5. Execution and Delivery of Notes Guarantee. To evidence its Notes Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Notes Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit C shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer.

- 102 -

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Notes Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Notes Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Notes Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Notes Guarantee is endorsed, the Notes Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

1 Interest

Quiksilver, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and QS Wholesale, Inc., a California corporation (“QS Wholesale” and, together with the Company and their respective successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

The Issuers shall pay interest semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2014. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from July 16, 2013. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal or premium, if any (plus interest on such interest to the extent lawful), at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2 Method of Payment

Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuers shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. The Issuers shall make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof as such address shall appear on the Note Register; provided, however, that payments on the Notes represented by Definitive Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept).

3 Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar.

The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 16, 2013 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect from time to time (the “Act”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 10.000% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2020 referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 10.000% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2020 issued under the Indenture on July 16, 2013 (herein called “Initial Notes”), (ii) if and when issued, additional 10.000% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2020 or 10.000% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2020 of the Issuers that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to July 16, 2013 (herein called “Additional Notes”) and (iii) if and when issued, the Issuers’ 10.000% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2020 that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes in an offer registered under the Securities Act as provided in a Registration Rights Agreement. The Initial Notes, Additional Notes and Exchange Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.

In addition, the Indenture limits the ability of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into agreements that restrict distributions and dividends from Restricted Subsidiaries and requires the Company to make available SEC information to the Holders as well as requiring certain Restricted Subsidiaries to guarantee the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part and no redemption shall result in a Holder holding a Note of

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (v) above) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clause (v) above occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

4 Indenture

The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 16, 2013 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect from time to time (the “Act”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 10.000% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2020 referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 10.000% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2020 issued under the Indenture on July 16, 2013 (herein called “Initial Notes”), (ii) if and when issued, additional 10.000% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2020 or 10.000% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2020 of the Issuers that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to July 16, 2013 (herein called “Additional Notes”) and (iii) if and when issued, the Issuers’ 10.000% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2020 that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes in an offer registered under the Securities Act as provided in a Registration Rights Agreement. The Initial Notes, Additional Notes and Exchange Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes, among other things, certain limitations on the Incurrence of Indebtedness by the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, the payment of dividends and other distributions on the Capital Stock of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, the purchase or redemption of Capital Stock of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, certain purchases or redemptions of Subordinated Obligations, the sale or transfer of assets and Capital Stock of Subsidiaries, the incurrence of certain Liens, transactions with Affiliates, mergers and consolidations and investments of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, provided, however, certain of such limitations shall be suspended if the Notes attain an Investment Grade Rating. In addition, the Indenture limits the ability of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into agreements that restrict distributions and dividends from Restricted Subsidiaries and requires the Company to make available SEC information to the Holders as well as requiring certain Restricted Subsidiaries to guarantee the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed, the requirements of any Depositary holding the Global Notes or, if the Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through a Depositary or such Depositary prescribes no method of selection, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate; provided that with respect to any Note, such redemption equals $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part and no redemption shall result in a Holder holding a Note of

B-5

less than $2,000. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

B-7

now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay at the final Stated Maturity the stated principal amount or to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (“payment default”) or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its final maturity (the “cross acceleration provision”) and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25,000,000 or more; (v) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, QS Wholesale or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (the “bankruptcy provisions”); (vi) failure by the Company, QS Wholesale or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25,000,000 (net of any amounts that a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability for in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days (the “judgment default provision”); or (vii) any Notes Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company, QS Wholesale and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of the Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Indenture or its Notes Guarantee. However, a default under clause (iii) above will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuers of the default and the Issuers do not cure such default within the time specified in such clause after receipt of such notice. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (v) above) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clause (v) above occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

13 Trustee Dealings with the Issuers

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

(a) Transfer Restricted Securities. The securities entitled to the benefits of this Agreement are the Transfer Restricted Securities.

(b) Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a “Holder”) whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

SECTION 3. Registered Exchange Offer.

(a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall (i) cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 210 days after the Closing Date (or if such 210th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), a Registration Statement under the Securities Act relating to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than 300 days after the Closing Date (or if such 300th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file (A) all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) cause all necessary filings in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Transfer Restricted Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof.

(b) The Issuers and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The Issuers shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities

-4-

laws. No securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Issuers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 30 Business Days after the effective date of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

(c) The Issuers shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Issuers), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Initial Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement.

Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.

The Issuers shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales.

SECTION 4. Shelf Registration.

(a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Issuers are not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective within 300 days after the Closing Date (or if such 300th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) or the Exchange Offer is not Consummated within 30 Business Days after the effective date of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,

-5-

or (iii) with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities that notifies the Issuers prior to the 20th Business Day following the Consummation of the Exchange Offer (A) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, or (B) in the case of any Holder that participates in the Exchange Offer, such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Securities acquired directly from the Issuers or one of their affiliates, then, upon such Holder’s request, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall

(x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on or prior to the earliest to occur of (1) the 45th day after the date on which the Issuers determine that they are not required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (or if such 45th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (2) the 45th day after the date on which the Issuers receive notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as contemplated by clause (iii) above (or if such 45th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), and (3) the 30th day after the Effectiveness Target Date (or if such 30th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (in any case, such date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and

(y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 90th day after the Shelf Filing Deadline (or if such 90th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Shelf Effectiveness Target Date).

Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least one year following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Initial Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement are disposed of in accordance therewith or cease to be outstanding).

(b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Issuers in writing, within 15 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Issuers may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus

-6-

included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuers by such Holder not materially misleading.

SECTION 5. Additional Interest. If (i) any of the Registration Statements required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement, (ii) any of such Registration Statements has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Target Date in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and on or prior to the Shelf Effectiveness Target Date in the case of the Shelf Registration Statement, (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 30 Business Days after the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Issuers hereby agree that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase exceed 1.00% per annum (any such increase “Additional Interest”), provided, that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall in no event be required to pay Additional Interest for more than one Registration Default at any time. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

All obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full.

All amounts of Additional Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 5 will be paid by the Issuers in arrears in cash semiannually on the applicable Additional Interest Payment Dates to the Holders of record specified in the Indenture and in accordance with the procedures for interest payment specified in the Indenture, commencing with the first such Additional Interest Payment Date occurring after any Additional Interest commences to accrue.

SECTION 6. Registration Procedures.

(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with all of the following provisions:

(i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Issuers there is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Issuers and the Guarantors to Consummate the Exchange Offer for such Initial Securities. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Issuers setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that the Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission.

(ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Issuers, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Issuers (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Issuers, and (D) if such Holder is a Broker-Dealer that will receive the Exchange Securities in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Issuers’ preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Issuers.

(b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the

(c) General Provisions.

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements (including, if required by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the Guarantors for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Issuers shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter;

If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;

(v) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, subject to execution of customary agreements regarding confidentiality, make the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ representatives available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and give reasonable consideration to any comments provided by the Initial Purchasers and such Holders and underwriter(s), if any, on such documents prior to the filing thereof;

(vi) make available at reasonable times for inspection by the Initial Purchasers, the managing underwriter(s), if any, participating in any disposition pursuant to such

(xix) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Securities Act (which need not be audited) for the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement;

(xx) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders of Initial Securities to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

(xxi) cause all Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Issuers are then listed if requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities or the managing underwriter(s), if any; and

Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuers of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted

-14-

Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Issuers that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so directed by the Issuers, each Holder will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which have been replaced by the Issuers with more recently dated Prospectuses and provide certification of such destruction to the Issuers or (ii) deliver to the Issuers (at the Issuers’ expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Issuers shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension shall be taken into account in determining whether Additional Interest is due pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Additional Interest, it being agreed that the Issuers’ option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5 hereof.

SECTION 7. Registration Expenses.

(a) All expenses incident to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Initial Purchaser or Holder with the FINRA (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel that may be required by the rules and regulations of the FINRA)); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuers, the Guarantors and, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Securities on a securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Issuers and the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance).

Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Issuers or the Guarantors.

-15-

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared.

SECTION 8. Indemnification.

(a) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder or any controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Issuers by any of the Holders expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have.

In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Issuers or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Issuers and the Guarantors in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any of the Issuers or the Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses). In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Holder and such Indemnified Holder

-16-

seeks or intends to seek indemnity from the Issuers and the Guarantors, the Issuers and the Guarantors will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that they shall elect, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Holder promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Holder, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Holder and the Issuers and the Guarantors, and the Indemnified Holder shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Indemnified Holder on the other in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Holders which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuers and the Guarantors, the Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Holders shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Holders. Upon receipt of notice from the Issuers and the Guarantors to such Indemnified Holder of the election of the Issuers and the Guarantors so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Holder of counsel, the Issuers and the Guarantors will not be liable to such Indemnified Holder under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Holder in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnified Holder shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence or (ii) the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Holder to represent the Indemnified Holder within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Issuers and the Guarantors. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to one local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Holders. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Issuers and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Issuers and the Guarantors. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding.

(b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, the Guarantors and their respective directors, officers of the Issuers and the Guarantors who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the Issuers or the Guarantors, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees,

-17-

representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers and the Guarantors to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Issuers, the Guarantors or their respective directors or officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Issuers and the Guarantors, and the Issuers, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds to the Issuers and the Guarantors from the Initial Placement), the amount of Additional Interest which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Indemnified Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by any of the Issuers or the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Issuers, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with

-18-

investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Initial Securities held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint.

SECTION 9. Rule 144A. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will administer such offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) must be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers.

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. None of the Issuers or the Guarantors has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to the Initial Securities to any Person. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any of the Issuers’ or the Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

-19-

(c) Adjustments Affecting the Initial Securities. The Issuers will not take any action, or agree to any change, with respect to the Initial Securities that would materially and adversely affect the Consummation of the Exchange Offer on the terms specified herein.

(d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuers have (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuers or their Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided, however, that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Issuers shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective.

(e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), facsimile, electronic transmission (by PDF), or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

Quiksilver Announces Pricing of Private Offering of $280 Million Senior Secured Notes and $225 Million Senior Notes

Huntington Beach, California, July 11, 2013 — Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced the pricing of the previously-announced offering by Quiksilver and its wholly-owned subsidiary, QS Wholesale, Inc. (together, the “Issuers”), of $280 million aggregate principal amount of their 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and $225 million aggregate principal amount of their 10.000% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”). The 2018 Notes will be issued at 99.483% of their face value and the 2020 Notes will be issued at 98.757% of their face value. The offering is expected to close on July 16, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes will be general senior obligations of the Issuers and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by certain of Quiksilver’s current and future U.S. subsidiaries. The 2018 Notes and the related guarantees will be secured by (1) a second-priority security interest in the current assets of the Issuers and the guarantors, together with all related general intangibles (excluding intellectual property rights) and other property related to such assets, including the proceeds thereof, which assets secure Quiksilver’s asset-based revolving credit facility on a first-priority basis; and (2) a first-priority security interest in substantially all other property (including intellectual property rights) of the Issuers and the guarantors and a first-priority pledge of 100% of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries directly owned by the Issuers and the guarantors (but excluding equity interests of applicable foreign subsidiaries of the Issuers and the guarantors possessing more than 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of equity interests of such applicable foreign subsidiaries entitled to vote) and the proceeds of the foregoing. The 2020 Notes will not be secured.

Quiksilver intends to use the proceeds of the offering to redeem all of its outstanding 6.875% senior notes due April 15, 2015, to repay in full and terminate its existing term loan, to pay down a portion of the outstanding amounts under its new asset-based revolving credit facility and to pay related fees and expenses. The foregoing does not constitute a notice of redemption for any outstanding senior notes.

The Issuers are offering the Notes and related guarantees in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Issuers are offering the Notes and related guarantees within the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States only to non-U.S. investors in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Unless so registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security nor does it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
