Indenture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, all provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture are expressly and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and any such provisions shall not be deemed
to apply to any other Securities issued under the Base Indenture and shall not be deemed to amend, modify or supplement the Base Indenture for any purpose other than with respect to  

  
 1 








 
the Notes. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” 

Section 1.02. Definitions. For all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided for or
unless the context otherwise requires: 
 (1) Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective
meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture; and 
 (2) All references herein to Articles and Sections, unless otherwise
specified, refer to the corresponding Articles and Sections of this First Supplemental Indenture as they amend or supplement the Base Indenture, and not the Base Indenture or any other document. 

“Additional Notes” means additional Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued under the Base Indenture in accordance
with the provisions hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue”
means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes calculated as if the maturity date of the Notes was December 15, 2023.
 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average (as
calculated by the Issuer) of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained, or (2) if fewer than five but more than one such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are obtained, the average (as calculated by the Issuer) of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained, or (iii) if only one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is obtained, such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotation. 
 “Consolidated EBITDA” means, for any period of time, without duplication,
consolidated net income (loss) of the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries plus amounts which have been deducted and minus amounts which have been added for, without duplication:

(b) depreciation and amortization as set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Guarantor; 

(c) provision for taxes based on income or profits; 

(d) non-recurring or other unusual items, as determined by the Guarantor in good faith (including, without limitation, all
prepayment penalties and costs or fees incurred in connection with any debt financing or amendment thereto, acquisition, disposition, recapitalization or similar transaction (regardless of whether such transaction is completed) and amounts paid in
connection with casualty losses and litigation settlements and any corresponding recovery of insurance for such losses or settlements, other than amounts received pursuant to business interruption insurance);

(g) non-cash swap ineffectiveness charges or income or expense attributable to transactions involving derivative instruments
that do not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with GAAP;

become liable in respect of the Debt or other obligation, and “Incurrence” and “Incurred” have the meanings correlative to the foregoing. Debt or any other obligation of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary will be deemed to be
Incurred by the Guarantor or such Subsidiary whenever the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. Debt or any other obligation of a Subsidiary existing prior to the time it became a
Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred upon such Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary; and Debt or other obligation of a Person existing prior to a merger or consolidation of such Person with the Guarantor or any Subsidiary in which such Person is the
successor to the Guarantor or such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred upon the consummation of such merger or consolidation. Any issuance or transfer of capital stock that results in Debt constituting Intercompany Debt being held by a Person
other than the Guarantor or any Subsidiary or any sale or other transfer of any Debt constituting Intercompany Debt to a Person that is not the Guarantor or a Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of Debt that is not
Intercompany Debt at the time of such issuance, transfer or sale, as the case may be.

Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (or an affiliate of any of the foregoing that is a Primary Treasury Dealer); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government

Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date.

provided, however, that all investments by the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries in unconsolidated joint ventures, unconsolidated limited partnerships, unconsolidated limited liability companies and other unconsolidated entities
shall be excluded from Total Unencumbered Assets to the extent that such investments would have otherwise been included. For the avoidance of doubt, cash held by a “qualified intermediary” in connection with 


  
 4 








 
proposed like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which may be classified as “restricted” for GAAP purposes, will nonetheless
be considered Total Assets not securing any amount of Secured Debt, so long as the Guarantor or a Subsidiary has the right (i) to direct the qualified intermediary to return such cash to the Guarantor or a Subsidiary if and when the Guarantor
fails to identify or acquire the proposed like-kind property or at the end of the 180-day replacement period or (ii) direct the qualified intermediary to use such cash to acquire like-kind property.

and shall carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid Interest as the other Notes then outstanding; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes
for United States federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number and (ii) if the Issuer has effected legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 402 or has

360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any principal of, or premium, if any, or Interest on, any of the Notes is not paid when due, then such overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue premium or Interest, as the case may

 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION OF NOTES 
 Section 3.01.
Redemption of Notes. 
 (a) The Issuer shall have the right, at its option, to redeem the Notes for cash at any time in whole or from
time to time, in part, in each case (i) prior to December 15, 2023 at a redemption price (with respect to the Notes to be redeemed on any Redemption Date, the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of: (x) 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and Interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such
redemption calculated as if the maturity date of the Notes was December 15, 2023 (except that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled Interest payment shall be reduced by the amount
of unpaid Interest accrued thereon to, but not including, such Redemption Date), discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus in
each case unpaid Interest, if any, accrued on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, such Redemption Date, and (ii) at any time on or after December 15, 2023, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid Interest, if any, accrued on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a
Record Date for the payment of Interest and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid Interest due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record at the close of
business on the corresponding Record Date according to the terms and the provisions of the Indenture. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date. 

Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes. In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise the right to redeem
all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than two Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as
may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such redemption not fewer than 30 days nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Security Register; provided that if the Issuer makes such request of the Trustee, it
shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee; provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Issuer. Each such notice of redemption shall specify:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers and ISIN number or numbers of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption
Price (or the method of calculating such Redemption Price) at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) 


  
 8 








 
that Interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date Interest on Notes or portions of Notes to be
redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof
will be issued. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly 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 as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 

Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together with an Officers’
Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed not fewer than 30 days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date. 

On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Issuer will
deposit with the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or the Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for
redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed; provided that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the
Paying Agent, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Issuer shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder
to pay the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed. 

If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note
or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) on a pro rata basis, by lot or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, in
accordance with methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar circumstances; provided, however, that so long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, the Notes will be redeemed in
accordance with the requirements of the Depositary. 
 Section 3.03. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Issuer.
If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such
notice at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, thereon, and if the Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, thereon, then,
on and after such Redemption Date (a) such Notes will cease to be outstanding and (b) Interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and,  

  
 9 








 
except as provided in Article IV of the Base Indenture, such Notes shall cease to be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such
Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, thereon. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with Interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented. 

Prior to the applicable Redemption Date, the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate that shall set forth the
applicable Redemption Price and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon the Issuer’s calculation
of the Redemption Price. The Trustee shall provide such calculation to any Holder upon request.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Limitation on Total Debt. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, Incur any Debt (other than

annual or quarterly report most recently furnished to the Holders or filed with the Commission, as the case may be; and

and to the application of the proceeds therefrom (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP), and calculated on the assumption that: 

(a) the Debt and any other Debt Incurred by the Guarantor or any Subsidiary from the first day of such four-quarter period had
been Incurred at the beginning of that period and continued to be outstanding throughout that period, and the application of the net proceeds of that Debt (including to repay or retire other Debt, including Debt under any revolving credit facility)
had occurred at the beginning of that four-quarter period;
