WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that upon the consummation of the Escrow Merger, Holdings and each Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which (i) Holdings will expressly assume all the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes, and become the “Company” in respect thereof and (ii) each Guarantor
will provide a Note Guarantee in respect of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes; 
 WHEREAS, all acts and
procedures prescribed by the Indenture to make this Supplemental Indenture a legally valid and binding instrument on Holdings, the Guarantors and the Trustee, in accordance with its terms, have been duly done and performed; and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 

1. DEFINED TERMS; INTERPRETATION. As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recitals hereto
are used herein as therein defined. This Supplemental Indenture is supplemental to the Indenture and does and shall be deemed to form a part of, and shall be construed in connection with and as part of, the Indenture for any and all purposes. 

2. AGREEMENT TO ASSUME OBLIGATIONS AS “COMPANY”. Holdings hereby confirms that it has assumed by operation of law all of the
liabilities and obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes, and hereby acknowledges and expressly agrees to such assumption. Holdings acknowledges and agrees that it is bound by all applicable provisions of the Indenture and
the Notes on the terms provided for therein and that it will perform all of the obligations and agreements of the “Company” thereunder. From and following the date hereof, each reference in the Indenture or the Notes to the
“Company” shall be deemed to be a reference to Holdings. 











 3. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to
unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture. From the date hereof, by executing this Supplemental Indenture, the
Guarantors whose signatures appear below are subject to the provisions of the Indenture to the extent applicable. 
 4. RATIFICATION OF
INDENTURE; CONFIRMATION. Except as specifically modified herein, the Indenture and the Notes are in all respects ratified and confirmed (mutatis mutandis) and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. 

5. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no duties, responsibilities or liabilities are assumed, or shall be construed to be assumed,
by the Trustee by reason of this Supplemental Indenture. This Supplemental Indenture is executed and accepted by the Trustee subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the same force and effect as if those terms and
conditions were repeated at length herein and made applicable to the Trustee with respect hereto. 
 6. No past, present or future director,

Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.
