In determining the Treasury Rate, we shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields — one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life — and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life.

(c) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes and in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note;

(d) the name, telephone number and address of the Paying Agent;

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

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

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

The Issuers may provide in any notice of redemption delivered in connection with any redemption permitted hereunder that the payment of the Redemption Price and the performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person and may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date as stated in such notice, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at their expense; provided that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least fifteen (15) Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered or caused to be delivered to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate of CDW, including a written request that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the form of such notice and the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in such notice. The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if one of the Issuers is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed.

(b) If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a), on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption (regardless of whether certificates for such Notes are actually surrendered). If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid and, to the extent lawful, on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes, as adjusted, if applicable, by Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture, as amended by Section 4.02 hereof.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

(a) Prior to the Par Call Date, the Issuers may redeem the Notes at their option in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. On or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

(b) On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

(c) The actions and determinations of the Issuers in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. The Issuers are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

COVENANTS

Section 4.01. Additional Covenants. In addition to the covenants set forth in the Base Indenture, the Issuers hereby further covenant as follows, the following covenants being for the sole benefit of the Holders of the Notes:

(a) Taxes. The Issuers shall pay, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, charges, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings and with respect to which appropriate reserves have been taken in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

(b) Liens. CDW shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist (collectively, “incur”) any Lien (except Permitted Liens) on any Principal Property of CDW or any Subsidiary securing Indebtedness unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Obligations subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) the Obligations so secured until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. The preceding sentence will not require CDW or any Subsidiary to secure the Notes if the Lien consists of a Permitted Lien. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the initial Lien that gave rise to the Obligation to so secure the Notes.

(c) Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless CDW at such time has given notice of redemption under Section 3.07 hereof with respect to all outstanding Notes, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require CDW to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to Article XII hereof.

(d) Additional Guarantees. CDW shall cause each Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness of CDW or any of the Guarantors, in each case, within ten (10) Business Days of such incurrence of any such Indebtedness or guarantee of such Indebtedness, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee (including a supplemental indenture in form of Exhibit C hereto), together with an Opinion of Counsel, pursuant to which such Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations under the Indenture on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Indenture.

(e) Limitation of Activities of FinanceCo. FinanceCo shall not acquire or hold any material assets, voluntarily take any action to become liable for any material obligations or engage in any business activities or operations; provided that FinanceCo may be a co-obligor with respect to Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Notes) if CDW is a primary obligor on such Indebtedness, the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are received by CDW or one or more of the Subsidiaries and such Indebtedness is otherwise permitted to be incurred under the Indenture.

(f) Sale/Leaseback Transactions. CDW shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property with another Person (other than with CDW or Subsidiaries) unless either:

(i) CDW or such Subsidiary could incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the property to be leased in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Value of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or

(ii) within 180 days CDW applies the greater of the net proceeds of the sale of the leased property or the fair value of the leased property, net of all Notes delivered under the Indenture, to the voluntary retirement of debt for borrowed money and/or the acquisition or construction of any Principal Property.

(g) Further Instruments and Acts. CDW shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture.

Section 4.02. Payment of Securities. The second paragraph of Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety with respect to the Notes as follows:

“If all or any portion of (a) the principal amount of any Note or (b) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and including amounts due at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise), such Note shall, without limiting the rights of the Holders, bear interest in cash at a rate per annum that is 2% above the rate otherwise applicable to such Note from the date of such nonpayment until the amount not so paid is paid in full (both before and after judgment). For the avoidance of doubt, the interest rate applicable to overdue principal shall equal the then applicable interest rate on the Notes plus the additional 2% referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, pursuant to the terms of such sentence.”

Section 4.03. Reports and Other Information. The third and fourth paragraphs of Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in their entirety with respect to the Notes as follows:

“In addition, if at any time any direct or indirect parent company (other than Parent) becomes a Guarantor (there being no obligation of any such parent company to do so), holds no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of CDW or any other direct or indirect parent of CDW (and performs the related incidental activities associated with such ownership) and complies with the requirements of Rules 13-01 and 13-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission, the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03 may, at the option of CDW, be filed by and be those of such parent company rather than CDW; provided that the same are accompanied by consolidating information as required by Rules 13-01 and 13-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to Parent and such other parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to CDW and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. For the avoidance of doubt, if Parent has made available through the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (or any successor system) the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03, CDW shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.03.

The Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein, including CDW’s compliance with any of the covenants under the Indenture.”

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. Solely with respect to the Notes, Section 4.04(a) of the Base Indenture shall be amended to replace each instance of the phrase “the Issuers” with the following phrase: “the Issuers and the Subsidiaries.”

The Trustee, however, may (1) refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, reasonably determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified, or (2) take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall offer to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.”

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, CDW, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Required Holders (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Base Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Required Holders (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).

Upon the request of CDW accompanied by a board resolution of CDW authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall join with CDW in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Required Holders of the Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, CDW shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of CDW to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; or change the definition of “Required Holders”;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the Maturity Date of any such Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Note (other than the provisions of Section 4.01(c) and Article XII hereof, except as set forth in clause (10) below);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Required Holders and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders;

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

(6) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or impact the right of any Holder of Notes 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 and waiver provisions of Section 9.01 hereof or this Section 9.02;

(8) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.01(c) and Article XII hereof, except as set forth in clause (10) below;

(9) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes;

(10) amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of CDW to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in respect of a Change of Control Repurchase Event that has occurred; or

(11) modify the Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

Section 12.01. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless CDW at such time has given notice of redemption under Section 3.07 hereof with respect to all outstanding Notes, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require CDW to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, CDW will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be repurchased, to but not including the date of purchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a 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.

(b) Within thirty (30) days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, or, at CDW’s option, in advance of a Change of Control, but after the public announcement of such Change of Control, CDW will mail or electronically deliver a Change of Control Offer to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in the Change of Control Offer, which date shall be no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days from the date such notice is mailed or electronically delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture and

described in such Change of Control Offer. CDW shall notify the Trustee at least fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the delivery of the Change of Control Offer of CDW’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer, and the Change of Control Offer shall be delivered by CDW or, at CDW’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of CDW.

(c) In addition to the specifications for the Change of Control Offer outlined in Section 12.01(b) above, a Change of Control Offer shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and shall state:

(i) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Change of Control Offer is being made;

(ii) the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer (the “Change of Control Offer Expiration Date”) and the Change of Control Payment Date;

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes offered to be purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(iv) the purchase price to be paid by CDW for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for payment;

(v) that the Holder may tender all or any portion of the Notes registered in the name of such Holder and that any portion of a Note tendered must be tendered in denominations of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 thereof;

(vi) the place or places where each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the Change of Control Offer are to be surrendered (such Note being, if CDW or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to CDW and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), or instructions for transfer of the Notes by book-entry transfer, in each case such delivery shall be prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Offer Expiration Date;

(vii) that, unless CDW defaults in making such purchase, any Note accepted for purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date, but that any Note not tendered or tendered but not purchased by CDW pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will continue to accrue interest at the same rate;

(viii) that, on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Change of Control Payment will become due and payable with respect to each Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ix) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw all or any portion of Notes tendered if CDW (or its Paying Agent) receive, not later than the close of business on the Change of Control Offer Expiration Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes the Holder tendered and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of his tender; and

(x) if applicable, that, in the case of any Holder whose Note is purchased only in part, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in the aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unpurchased portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so tendered.

(d) CDW will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture, CDW will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

(e) On the Change of Control Payment Date, CDW will, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by CDW under the Change of Control Offer. The Issuers, Depository or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly mail or deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof.

(f) CDW 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) CDW shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) 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 Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by CDW and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof unless and until there is a default in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Repurchase Event and may be conditional upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(h) The provisions described above that require CDW to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Repurchase Event will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture are applicable.

Exhibit A-4

[Back of Note]

5.100% Senior Note due 2030

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

1. INTEREST. The term “Issuers” refers to CDW LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“CDW”), and CDW Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FinanceCo”).

The Issuers promise to pay interest on the Notes entirely in cash. Interest on this Note will accrue at a fixed rate per annum of 5.100%, commencing on August 22, 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes or any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Notes shall bear interest in cash at a rate per annum that is 2% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto from the date of such nonpayment until the amount not so paid is paid in full (both before and after judgment), and the Issuers shall pay interest in cash on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuers will pay interest on each Note semi-annually on each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2025, and on the Maturity Date.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on this Note to the Person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Note is cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest will be made at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by check delivered to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Security Register of Holders, provided that [all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof]¹ [all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note will 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 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion)].² Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

¹	Applicable if this Note is represented by a Global Note registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee on the relevant record date.

²	Applicable if this Note is a Definitive Note.

Exhibit A-5

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to the Holders. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4. INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under the Base Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as supplemented by the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 22, 2024 (the “Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association (as supplemented, the “Indenture”). This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuers designated as its 5.100% Senior Notes due 2030. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02 of the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture, all Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class, and, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02 of the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture, none of the Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter.

Terms defined in the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuers and their Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur Indebtedness, create or incur Liens and enter into Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Indenture also imposes limits on the ability of the Issuers and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its property. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Issuers may redeem the Notes at their option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

Exhibit A-6

6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

16. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES.

17. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS.
