(c) | by replacing Section 4.03 with the following: |

(a) all quarterly and annual financial information (excluding exhibits) that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Parent were required to file such Forms, including a Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that describes the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Parents certified independent accountants; and
(b) the information (excluding exhibits) required to be contained in all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Parent were required to file such reports,
in each case within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and regulations if the Parent were a non-accelerated filer as defined in the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; provided, however that the provisions of this paragraph shall be satisfied if the Parent makes available on the website referred to in clause (c) of this Section 4.03 below reports containing such information within (i) 97 days after the end of the Parents previous fiscal year with respect to annual reports and (ii) 60 days after the end of the Parents last fiscal quarter with respect to quarterly reports.

If at any time any direct or indirect parent of the Parent becomes a Guarantor (there being no obligation of any such parent to do so), the reports, information and other documents required to be furnished to Holders of the Notes and the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 may, at the option of the Parent, be furnished by and be those of such parent rather than the Parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent and its subsidiaries other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Parent and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand.
(c) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuers will maintain a website to which the Trustee, securities analysts or market makers, beneficial owners of the Notes or prospective purchasers of beneficial ownership of the Notes or other securities of the Issuers or their Subsidiaries are given access (subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions) and to which all of the reports and other information required by this Reports and Other Information covenant are posted, unless they are otherwise publicly filed with the SEC, and the posting of such reports to such website shall satisfy the above reporting requirements.

Beginning with the quarter ending May 5, 2018, Parent shall no longer be required to provide reports with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above (Parent Reports), and the Issuer shall be required to provide reports with respect to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, information for the comparable periods during the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018) corresponding to the Parent Reports that would have otherwise been required to be provided by Parent, and no separate financial information of the Issuer substantially consistent with the presentation of financial information in the Offering Memorandum under the caption Summary Historical Condensed Consolidated Financial Data shall be required.
3

The Trustee shall have no duty to determine whether any reports have been posted or filed.;
