WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the
Company and the Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of September 16, 2013 (herein called the “Base Indenture” and, together with this First Supplemental Indenture, the
“Indenture”), to provide for the issuance from time to time of its unsecured notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness (herein called a “Security” or the “Securities”), the form and terms
of which are to be established as set forth in Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Base Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, Section 9.01 of the Base
Indenture provides, among other things, that the Company and the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture to, among other things, establish the form and terms of the Securities of any series as permitted in Sections 2.01
and 3.01 of the Base Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to create two series of Securities, consisting of one series in an aggregate
principal amount of $275,000,000 to be designated the “3.875% Senior Notes due 2021” (herein called the “2021 Notes”) and one series in an aggregate principal amount of $275,000,000 to be designated the “4.375% Senior
Notes due 2024” (herein called the “2024 Notes” and, together with the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”), and all action on the part of the Company necessary to authorize the issuance of the Notes under the Base
Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture has been duly taken; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue the Notes in accordance with
this First Supplemental Indenture and treat the Notes as two series of Securities for all purposes, as amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture; and 

WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Company and completed, authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the valid and binding obligations of the Company and to constitute a valid and binding agreement according to its terms, have been done and performed. 

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH: 

That in consideration of the premises and of the acceptance and purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof and of the acceptance of this
trust by the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors covenant and agree with the Trustee, for the equal benefit of Holders of the 2021 Notes, and the equal benefit of Holders of the 2024 Notes, as applicable, as follows:

be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of, the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture (including the form of 2021
Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A). The aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this First Supplemental Indenture shall not, except as permitted by the provisions of the Base Indenture,
initially exceed $275,000,000. The Company may from time to time or at any time, without notice to, or the consent of, any Holder of the 2021 Notes, create and issue additional 2021 Notes having the same terms as the initial 2021 Notes (except the
public offering price, issuance date and, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date), which additional 2021 Notes shall increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes and, together with all other 2021 Notes, will constitute a
single series under the Indenture and vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the 2021 Notes; provided, however, that any additional 2021 Notes that are not fungible with existing 2021 Notes for U.S. federal income
tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP number than the existing 2021 Notes. 
 SECTION 202. 2024 Notes. A series of Securities,
which shall be designated the “4.375% Senior Notes due 2024,” shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of, the Base
Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture (including the form of 2024 Notes attached hereto as Exhibit B). The aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this First Supplemental Indenture
shall not, except as permitted by the provisions of the Base Indenture, initially exceed $275,000,000. The Company may from time to time or at any time, without notice to, or the consent of, any Holder of the 2024 Notes, create and issue additional
2024 Notes having the same terms as the initial 2024 Notes (except the public offering price, issuance date and, if applicable, the initial Interest 

  
 2 








 
Payment Date), which additional 2024 Notes shall increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes and, together with all other 2024 Notes, will constitute a single series under the
Indenture and vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the 2024 Notes; provided, however, that any additional 2024 Notes that are not fungible with existing 2024 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP
number than the existing 2024 Notes. 
 SECTION 203. Form of Notes; Incorporation of Terms. 

(a) The 2021 Notes and the 2024 Notes shall each be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities and, together with the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B attached hereto, respectively. The Notes may have such notations, legends or endorsements approved as to form
by the Company and required, as applicable, by law, stock exchange or depository rules and agreements to which the Company is subject. The terms of the 2021 Notes set forth in Exhibit A and the terms of the 2024 Notes set forth in Exhibit
B are herein incorporated by reference and are part of the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture. The Notes shall be issuable in definitive, fully registered form without coupons only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) The 2021 Notes and the 2024 Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached hereto, respectively (including the Global Security legend thereon). The 2021 Notes and the 2024 Notes issued in definitive certificated form in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture and this
First Supplemental Indenture, if any, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, attached hereto (but without the Global Security legend thereon). Each Global Security shall represent such of the
Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes
represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with Section 206 hereof pursuant to instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 205 hereof. 

SECTION 204. Place of Payment. The Place of Payment in respect of the Notes will be at the office or agency of the Company in The City
of New York, State of New York or at the office or agency of the Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 205. Transfer and Exchange. 

  
 3 








 (a) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities shall be effected
through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the then applicable procedures of the Depositary (the “Applicable Procedures”). In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests,
the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Trustee either (A)(1) a written order from a Participant (as defined below) or an Indirect Participant (as defined below) given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with
the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase or, if Definitive Securities are at such time permitted to be issued pursuant to the Indenture, (B)(1) a written order from a
Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or
exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Security Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Security shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in
(1) above. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Securities contained in the Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Security Registrar
shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Securities pursuant to Section 206 hereof. “Participant” means, with respect to the Depositary, a Person who has an account with the Depositary. “Indirect
Participant” means a Person who holds a beneficial interest in a Global Security through a Participant. 
 (b) Upon request by a
Holder of Definitive Securities and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 205(b), the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Securities. Prior to such registration of transfer or
exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Trustee the Definitive Securities duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by
its attorney, duly authorized in writing. The Trustee shall cancel any such Definitive Securities so surrendered, and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a new Definitive Security in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Security issued pursuant to this Section 205(b) shall be registered in such name or names
and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the Holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Security Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such
Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names such Definitive Securities are so registered. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to
Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture. 

  
 4 








 SECTION 206. Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Securities. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for Definitive Securities or a particular Global Security has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security shall be returned to
or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.09 of the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest for Definitive Securities, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee
or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global
Security, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such increase.

unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third Person (1) makes

issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2014 (the “First Supplemental
Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called
the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the
face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $275,000,000. 
 The Securities of this series are subject to redemption
prior to the Stated Maturity upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount
of the Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date) discounted to the applicable
Redemption 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, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date.

 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the
unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 In the event of a Change of
Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part of each Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased, to, but excluding the date of purchase. 

This Security will not be subject to any sinking fund. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and
Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a provision that cannot be
amended without the written consent of each Holder affected) under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event
of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee satisfactory indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent
with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the
enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are 

  
 A-6 








 
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
