facility (including future advances under our existing senior secured revolving credit facility) and certain of our banking and cash management obligations. The liens securing the notes are also subject to certain permitted liens and encumbrances
described under &#147;Description of the Notes&#148; below, which may include additional first lien obligations under the intercreditor agreement or pursuant to an additional intercreditor agreement. The lenders under our first lien obligations,
which currently consist of our existing senior secured revolving credit facility and holders of certain of our banking and cash management obligations, will be entitled to receive all proceeds from the realization of the collateral under certain
circumstances, including upon default in payment on, or the acceleration of, any obligations under our existing senior secured revolving credit facility, or in the event of our, or any of our Subsidiary Guarantors&#146;, bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, to repay such obligations in full before the holders of the notes will be entitled to any recovery from such collateral. In addition, the indenture governing the notes permits us and
the Subsidiary Guarantors to create additional liens on the collateral under specified circumstances, which will be senior to the liens securing the notes pursuant to the intercreditor agreement. Any obligations secured by such liens may further

the ability of the first lien agent and/or the collateral agent for the holders of the notes to realize on such collateral. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The value of the collateral at any time will depend on market and other economic conditions, including the availability of suitable
buyers. By their nature, some or all of the pledged assets may be illiquid and may have no readily ascertainable market value. We cannot assure you that the fair market value of the collateral as of the date of this document exceeds the principal
amount of the debt secured thereby. The value of the assets pledged as collateral for the notes could be impaired in the future as a result of changing economic conditions, our failure to implement our business strategy, competition, unforeseen
liabilities and other future events. Accordingly, there may not be sufficient collateral to pay all or any of the amounts due on the notes after satisfaction of the first priority obligations. Any claim for the difference between the amount, if any,
realized by holders of the notes from the sale of the collateral securing the notes and the obligations under the notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness and other obligations,
including trade payables. Additionally, in the event that a bankruptcy case is commenced by or against us, if the value of the collateral is less than the amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the notes and all other senior secured
obligations, interest may cease to accrue on the notes from and after the date the bankruptcy petition is filed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the
future, the obligation to grant additional security over assets, or a particular type or class of assets, whether as a result of the acquisition or creation of future assets or subsidiaries or otherwise, is subject to the provisions of the
intercreditor agreement. The intercreditor agreement sets out a number of limitations on the rights of the holders of the notes to require security in certain circumstances, which may result in, among other things, the amount recoverable under any
security provided by any subsidiary being limited and/or security not being granted over a particular type or class of assets. Accordingly, this may affect the value of the security provided by us and our subsidiaries. Furthermore, upon enforcement
against any collateral or in insolvency, under the terms of the intercreditor agreement the claims of the holders of the notes to the proceeds of such enforcement will rank behind the claims of the holders of obligations under our existing senior
secured revolving credit facility, which are first priority lien obligations, and holders of additional secured indebtedness (to the extent permitted to have priority by the indenture governing the notes). </FONT></P>

interests in collateral. For example, the collateral agent may need to obtain the consent of a third party to obtain access to collateral or enforce a security interest in a contract. We cannot assure you that the collateral agent will be able to
obtain any such consent. We also cannot assure you that the consents of any third parties will be given when required to facilitate a foreclosure on such assets. Accordingly, the collateral agent may not have the ability to foreclose upon those
assets and the value of the collateral may significantly decrease. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Bankruptcy laws may limit your ability to realize value from the

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to the restrictions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, the right of the Collateral Agent to take possession and dispose of the Collateral following an Event of Default is likely to be
significantly impaired by applicable bankruptcy law if a bankruptcy proceeding were to be commenced by or against the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors prior to the Collateral Agent having taken possession and disposed of the Collateral. Under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, a secured creditor is prohibited from taking its security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security taken from such debtor, without bankruptcy court approval. Moreover, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
permits the debtor in certain circumstances to continue to retain and to use collateral owned as of the date of the bankruptcy filing (and the proceeds, products, offspring, rents or profits of such collateral) even though the debtor is in default
under the applicable debt instruments; <U>provided</U> that the secured creditor is given &#147;adequate protection.&#148; The meaning of the term &#147;adequate protection&#148; may vary according to circumstances. In view of the lack of a precise
definition of the term &#147;adequate protection&#148; and the broad discretionary powers of a bankruptcy court, it is impossible to predict how long payments under the notes could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case, whether or
when the Collateral Agent could repossess or dispose of the Collateral, or whether or to what extent holders would be compensated for any delay in payment or loss of value of the Collateral through the requirement of &#147;adequate protection.&#148;
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Furthermore, in the event a bankruptcy court determines the value of the Collateral (after taking into account the prior
claims relating to First Lien Obligations) is not sufficient to repay all amounts due on the notes and any other Pari Passu Junior Lien Obligations, the holders of the notes and such other Pari Passu Junior Lien Obligations would hold secured claims
to the extent of the remaining value of the Collateral, and would hold unsecured claims with respect to any shortfall. Applicable federal bankruptcy laws do not permit the payment and/or accrual of post-petition interest, costs and attorneys&#146;
fees during a debtor&#146;s bankruptcy case unless the claims are oversecured or the debtor is solvent at the time of reorganization. In addition, if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor were to become the subject of a bankruptcy case, the
bankruptcy court, among other things, may avoid certain prepetition transfers made by the entity that is the subject of the bankruptcy filing, including, without limitation, transfers held to be preferences or fraudulent conveyances. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under New
York Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a
&#147;clearing agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of institutions that have accounts with DTC (&#147;participants&#148;) and to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC&#146;s
participants include securities brokers and dealers (which may include the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC&#146;s book-entry system is also available to others such as
banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, whether directly or indirectly. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Ownership of Beneficial Interests </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Upon the issuance of each global note,
DTC will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by the global note to the accounts of participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in each
global note will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through,
records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants&#146; interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the global note other than participants). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered holder and owner of a global note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be
considered the sole legal owner of the notes represented by the global note for all purposes under the Indenture, the notes and applicable law. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note will not be entitled to
receive certificated notes and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of any notes under the global note. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in a global note desires to
take any actions that DTC, as the holder of the global note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and that participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action
or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. No beneficial owner of an interest in a global note will be able to transfer the interest except in accordance with DTC&#146;s applicable procedures, in addition
to those provided for under the Indenture. Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf of others, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in a global note to pledge that interest to persons that do not
participate in the DTC system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of that interest, may be impaired by the lack of physical certificate of that interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">All payments on the notes represented by a global note registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder
of the global note. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest
in respect of a global note, will credit participants&#146; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also
expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for accounts for
customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. These payments, however, will be the responsibility of such participants and indirect participants, and neither we, the trustee nor any paying agent will have any responsibility or
liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in any global note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for
any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or the relationship between such participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the global note. </FONT></P>

(as defined below) and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the notes registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. This
summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), the Treasury Regulations (the &#147;Regulations&#148;) promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date
hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This summary is limited to the U.S. federal
income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder that purchases from the selling noteholder for cash notes registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and does not address the tax consequences to
subsequent purchasers of the notes. In addition, this summary is limited to the U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to notes registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part that a U.S. Holder or Non-U.S.
Holder holds as capital assets within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). We believe, and this summary assumes, that the notes will be treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. This summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or status, nor does it address specific tax consequences that may be
relevant to particular holders (including, for example, financial institutions, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in such
entities, U.S. expatriates, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, persons who hold notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated financial transaction, real estate
investment trusts, regulated investment companies, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax). This summary does not address the tax consequences
of the ownership and disposition of the notes arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. In addition, this summary does not address U.S. federal alternative
minimum, estate and gift tax consequences or consequences under the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) with respect to the
statements made and the conclusions reached in this summary, and we cannot assure you that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

substantial decisions or if a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person is in effect with respect to such trust. For purposes of the following summary, a &#147;Non-U.S. Holder&#148; is a beneficial owner of notes that is neither a U.S. Holder

under certain circumstances. According to the Regulations, the possibility that certain payments in excess of stated interest or principal will be made will not cause the notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments (affecting the
amount of income a holder recognizes in advance of the payment of such excess amounts), if there is only a remote likelihood as of the date the notes were issued that such payments will be made or if such contingent payments are considered
incidental. We intend to take the position, in general, that any payment of such excess amounts should not be taxable to a holder or otherwise affect the tax treatment of the notes prior to a change in circumstances relating to these contingencies
and that the notes should not be considered contingent payment debt instruments. This position and this summary are based on the assumption that, as of the date of the issuance of the notes, the likelihood that we will pay such excess amounts is
remote or that such amounts are incidental. Our position that these contingent payments are remote or incidental is binding on a holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the manner required by applicable Regulations. Our position
is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to challenge this position, a holder might be required to include income on its notes in excess of stated interest calculated without regard to such contingencies and might be required to
treat as ordinary income rather than capital gain any income realized on the taxable disposition of a note. In the event a contingency occurs, it may affect the amount, timing and character of the income or loss recognized by a holder. The remainder
of this disclosure assumes that the notes will not be considered contingent payment debt instruments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe, and intend

challenge this position, then the tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the notes may be different from the rules described below. If the notes were treated as having been issued with more than a <I>de minimis</I> amount of OID for

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Chapter 17, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the &#147;PBCL&#148;), contains provisions permitting indemnification of officers and directors of a business
corporation incorporated in Pennsylvania. Sections 1741 and 1742 of the PBCL provide that a business corporation may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities and expenses he or she may incur in connection with a threatened, pending or
completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a representative of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another enterprise,
provided that the particular person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In general, the power to indemnify under these sections does not exist in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person otherwise entitled to
indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, it is judicially determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for the expenses the court deems proper. Section&nbsp;1743 of the PBCL provides that the corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending these
actions if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL
provides that indemnification under the other sections of Subchapter D of the PBCL is not exclusive of other rights that a person seeking indemnification may have under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person under any other provision of law. However, Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL prohibits indemnification in circumstances where the act or failure to act giving rise to
the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Sears Home Improvement
