      RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

       

      The Company and the Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Base Indenture providing for the issuance from time to time of
        one or more series of the Company’s senior unsecured debt securities (herein and in the Base Indenture called the “Securities”), the forms and terms of which are to be determined as set forth in Sections 2.01
        and 3.01 of the Base Indenture, and the Guarantees thereof by the Guarantors;

       

      Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture provides, among other things, that the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into indentures
        supplemental to the Base Indenture for, among other things, the purposes of (a) establishing the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Base Indenture and (b) adding to or changing any of the
        provisions to the Base Indenture in certain circumstances; and

       

      The Company desires to create a series of Securities designated as its “4.850% Senior Notes due 2032” pursuant to the terms of this First Supplemental
        Indenture.

       

      The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes to be issued from time to time, as
        provided for in the Indenture.

       

      Each Guarantor has duly authorized its Guarantee of the Notes and to provide therefor each Guarantor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of
        this First Supplemental Indenture.

       

      All things necessary have been done to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, in accordance with
        its terms and to make the Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee under the Indenture and duly issued by the Company, the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.

      ARTICLE 1

      Issuance of Securities

       

      Section 1.01.          Issuance of Notes; Principal Amount; Maturity; Title.  a) On May 17, 2022, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate, the Initial Notes substantially in the form
          set forth in Section 3.02 below, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture, and with such letters,
          numbers, or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable tax laws or the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be
          determined by the Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by the execution of such Notes.

       

      (b)          Pursuant to the terms hereof
          and Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby creates a series of Securities designated as the “4.850% Senior Notes due 2032” of the Company (as amended or supplemented from time to time, that are issued under the
          Indenture, including both the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes (as defined below), if any, the “Notes”), which Notes shall be deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Base Indenture.

       

      (c)          The Initial Notes to be issued
          pursuant to the Indenture shall be issued and initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $750,000,000 and shall mature on the Stated Maturity, unless the Notes are redeemed prior to that date as described in Article 5. The aggregate
          principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed $750,000,000, except for Notes issued, authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to
          Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 9.06 or 11.07 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered.

       

      (d)          The Company may, without the
          consent of the Holders, issue additional Notes hereunder as part of the same series and on the same terms and conditions (and having the same Guarantors) and with the same CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers as the Initial Notes initially issued,
          but may be offered at a different offering price or have a different issue date, initial interest accrual date or initial interest payment date (“Additional Notes”); provided

          that if any Additional Notes are issued at a price that causes such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations of
          the United States Department of Treasury thereunder (the “Code”) or if any Additional Notes are not otherwise fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes
          shall not have the same CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number as the Initial Notes.

       

      (e)          The Notes shall be issued only
          in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

      Section 1.02.          Interest.  a) Interest on a Note will accrue at the per annum rate of 4.850%, from and including the date specified on the face of such Note to, but excluding, the date on which the principal thereof is paid,
          deemed paid, or made available for payment and, in each case, will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

       

      (b)          The Company shall pay interest
          on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 17 and November 17 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing November 17, 2022, provided that the
          final Interest Payment Date of the Notes shall be May 17, 2032.

       

      (c)          Interest shall be paid on each
          Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders of the Notes as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date.

       

      (d)          Amounts due on the Stated
          Maturity or earlier redemption date or repurchase date of the Notes will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, initially at 500 Ross Street, 12th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15262, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, except as
          otherwise provided in the Notes. The Company shall make payments of principal, premium, if any, Redemption Price or Repurchase Price (as defined below) and interest in respect of the Notes in book-entry form to DTC in immediately available funds,
          while disbursement of such payments to owners of beneficial interests in Notes in book-entry form will be made in accordance with the procedures of DTC and its participants in effect from time to time. The Trustee will initially act as Paying
          Agent for payments with respect to the Notes. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that the
          Company shall be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for the Notes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a Note. However, the Company may require Holders of
          the Notes to pay any taxes or other governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of Notes. All moneys paid by the Company to a Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, interest or the Redemption Price or Repurchase
          Price on Notes which remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium, interest or Redemption Price or Repurchase Price has become due and payable will be repaid to the Company upon request, and the Holder of such Notes
          thereafter may look only to the Company for payment thereof.

       

      (e)          If any Interest Payment Date,
          Stated Maturity, earlier redemption date or repurchase date falls on a day that is not a Business Day in The City of New York, the Company shall make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, Redemption Price or Repurchase Price and/or
          interest with respect to the Notes on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity,
          earlier redemption or repurchase date, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.

       

      
        3

        
          


      

      Section 1.03.          Payment.  All payments of principal of, the Redemption Price or Repurchase Price (if any) for and interest on the Notes will be payable in U.S. dollars.

       

      Section 1.04.          Relationship with Base Indenture.  The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture. However, to the extent
          any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.

       

      For purposes of the Notes and this First Supplemental Indenture, the references in Sections 10.01 and 10.03 of the Base Indenture to “10:00 am (New
        York City time) on” shall be replaced with “11:00 am (New York City time) on.”

       

      Section 1.05.          Amendments to the Indenture.  iii) the definition of “Business Day” under Section 1.01 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated as follows:

       

      “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions
        or trust companies in New York, New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

      The terms defined in this Section 2.01 (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context of this First Supplemental Indenture
        otherwise requires) for all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto have the respective meanings specified in this Section 2.01. All other terms used in this First Supplemental Indenture that are
        defined in the Base Indenture, either directly or by reference therein (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context of this First Supplemental Indenture otherwise requires), have the respective meanings assigned to such
        terms in the Base Indenture, as in force at the date of this First Supplemental Indenture as originally executed; provided that any term that is defined in both the Base Indenture and this First
        Supplemental Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this First Supplemental Indenture.

        the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended until the ratings are announced if during such 60-day period the ratings of the Notes are under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating
        Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in ratings shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below
        Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in ratings to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm
        or inform the Company in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the
        applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). The Company will request the Rating Agencies to make such confirmation in connection with any Change of Control and shall promptly certify to
        the Trustee as to whether or not such confirmation has been received or denied.

       

      “Change of Control” means the occurrence of the following:

      “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance

        are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent
        statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government
        securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company 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. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months
        or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

       

      If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate
        per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to,
        the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a
        maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United
        States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the
        United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the
        terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City
        time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

      [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

       

      1.          Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
          designated as its “4.850% Senior Notes due 2032” (herein called the “Notes”), issued under a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 17, 2022 (the “First Supplemental
            Indenture”), to an indenture, dated as of May 17, 2022 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Base Indenture” and herein with the First
          Supplemental Indenture, collectively, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which reference is hereby made 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 Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not
          exceed $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, except for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 9.06 or 11.07 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 3.03 of the
          Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered. The First Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

       

      All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of a conflict or
        inconsistency between this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.

       

      2.          Optional Redemption. Prior to February 17, 2032 (three months prior to their
          maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of the
          principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

       

      	

            	•	
              (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes being redeemed 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 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

            


       

      	

            	•	
              100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed,

            


       

      plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.

       

      The Company shall give the Trustee notice of the Redemption Price with respect to any redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph as soon as
        practicable after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. Any notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited
        to, completion of a securities offering or other corporate transaction.

       

      
        18

        
          


      

      On or after the Par Call Date, the Company 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, but not including, the redemption date.

       

      The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

       

      3.          Change of Control Repurchase Event. In the event of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all
          or any part of that Holder’s Notes at a Repurchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, pursuant to Section 6.02 of the
            First Supplemental Indenture.

       

      4.          Global Security. If this Note is a Global Security, then, in the event of a deposit
          or withdrawal of an interest in this Note, including an exchange, transfer, redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Note in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such
          deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

       

      5.          Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
          principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment
          of the principal of and interest on the Notes shall terminate.

       

      No Holder of Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a
        receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder (except actions for payment of overdue principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on such Notes in accordance with its terms),
        unless (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default, specifying an Event of Default, as required under the Indenture; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
        Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture; (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity
        reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the Trustee has failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer
        of indemnity; and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, it being understood and intended
        that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to
        obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner provided in the Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

       

      
        19

        
          


      

      The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, and premium, if
        any, or interest hereon, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

       

      6.          Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
          therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the written consent of the
          Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the
          Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive
          and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note 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
          Note or such other Note. Certain modifications or amendments to the Indenture require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

       

      No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair (without the consent of the Holder hereof)
        the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

       

      7.          Registration and Transfer. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
          limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable on the Security Register. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute,
          and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and principal amount. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
          certain limitations therein set forth, at the option of the Holder, this Note may be exchanged for one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and principal amount, upon surrender of this Note at such office or agency.
          Upon such surrender by the Holder, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
          principal amount. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed (if so required by the Company or the Trustee), or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
          to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
          payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

       

      
        20

      Section 3.03.          Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.  v) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture
          (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture and in the Global Security) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security to another Global Security shall
          deliver to the Security Registrar a duly completed Assignment Form in the form attached to the Global Security, any applicable certifications or opinions required by the Assignment Form and a written order given in accordance with the Applicable
          Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security. The Security Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to
          credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.

       

      (b)          If the proposed transfer is a
          transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to
          which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal
          amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.

       

      (c)          If the Company determines (upon
          the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale after the applicable Resale Restriction Termination Date (as defined in the applicable Note) pursuant to
          Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information and that the applicable legend in either the first or second paragraph of Section 3.02 hereto (a “Restricted

            Legend”) is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may instruct the Trustee to cancel
          the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note in any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the
          Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction.

       

      ARTICLE 4

      Remedies

       

      Section 4.01.          Events of Default.  “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein with respect to the Notes, any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of
          Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

       

      (a)          an Event of Default pursuant to
          Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture; or

       

      
        25

        
          


      

      (b)          the Company’s failure to pay
          the Repurchase Price when due in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

       

      Section 4.02.          Waiver of Past Defaults.  Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 5.12 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer
          to this Section 4.02.

       

      The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any
        past Default hereunder with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a default

       

      (a)          in the payment of the principal
          of or interest on any Note; or

       

      (b)          in respect of a covenant or
          provision hereof or of the Base Indenture which under Article 8 hereof or under Article 9 of the Base Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, provided
          that there had been paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all amounts due to the Trustee and to reimburse the Trustee for any and all fees, expenses and disbursements advanced by the Trustee, its agents and its counsel
          incurred in connection with such default or Event of Default.

       

      Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
        purpose of this First Supplemental Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

       

      ARTICLE 5

      Redemption of Securities

       

      Section 5.01.          Optional Redemption.  Prior to February 17, 2032 (three months prior to their maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in
          whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

       

      	

            	•	
              (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes being redeemed 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 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

            


       

      	

            	•	
              100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed,

            


       

       plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.

       

      
        26

        
          


      

      The Company shall give the Trustee notice of the Redemption Price with respect to any redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph as soon as
        practicable after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. Any notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited
        to, completion of a securities offering or other corporate transaction.

       

      On or after the Par Call Date, the Company 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, but not including, the redemption date.

       

      The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

       

      ARTICLE 6

      Particular Covenants

       

      Section 6.01.          Liens.  The Credit Parties shall not create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any
          voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective Subsidiaries (to the extent of their ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation,
          sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such Subsidiaries, without providing that the Notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other indebtedness of, or guarantee by, the
          Credit Parties ranking equally with the Notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the Notes or thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or
          other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities. This Section 6.01 shall not limit the ability of the Credit Parties to incur indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other
          than the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective Subsidiaries.

       

      Section 6.02.          Obligation to Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.  vi) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes pursuant to
          Article 5 of this First Supplemental Indenture by giving notice of such redemption to the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part
          of that Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes
          repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Repurchase Price”).

       

      
        27

        
          


      

      (b)          In connection with any Change
          of Control related to a Change of Control Repurchase Event and any particular reduction in the ratings on the Notes, the Company shall request from the Rating Agencies each such Rating Agency’s written confirmation that such reduction in the
          ratings on the Notes was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred
          at the time of any Below Investment Grade Rating Event). The Company shall promptly certify to the Trustee as to whether or not such confirmation has been received or denied.

       

      (c)          Within 30 days following any
          Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will give notice to each Holder of Notes, with a written copy to the Trustee,
          describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no
          later than 60 days from the date such notice is given (the “Repurchase Price Payment Date”). The notice shall, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to
          purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Company 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 Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company 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 the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

       

      (d)          On the Change of Control
          Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

       

      (i)          accept for
          payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

       

      (ii)          deposit with
          the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Repurchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

       

      (iii)          deliver or
          cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Company.

       

      The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Repurchase Price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly
        authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note representing any unpurchased portion of any Notes
        surrendered will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

       

      
        28

        
          


      

      (e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes an offer in respect of the Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
          requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided under Section 11.04 of the Base
          Indenture; provided that the Company has not failed to pay the Redemption Price on the redemption date.

       

      Section 6.03.          Financial Reports.  Section 7.04 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the reports, information, and documents delivered under this Section 6.03.

       

      (a)          For so long as the Corporation
          is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
          Retrieval System (or successor system) (“EDGAR”), within 15 days after the Corporation files the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports
          (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Corporation may file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The
          Trustee may conclusively presume, and shall incur no liability in such presumption, that the Corporation has not filed any such reports, information, documents and other reports with the Commission that are not available on EDGAR unless and until
          it shall have received written notice from the Company to the contrary.

       

      (b)          For so long as any of the Notes
          remain Outstanding, the Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities
          Act for the Company and, unless available on EDGAR, for the Corporation (as if such rule applied to it); provided, however, that if any time the Corporation no
          longer directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties or guarantees the Notes, such information shall be provided for either (i) the Credit Parties on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole or (ii) any Person that directly or
          indirectly controls the Credit Parties and guarantees the Notes (in each case, as if such rule applied to such Persons). The Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts
          and prospective investors upon request.

       

      (c)          Delivery of such reports,
          information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,
          including the Company’s compliance with any of the covenants contained in the Indenture (as to which the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine if and when
          the Company’s information is available on EDGAR and the Trustee shall have no obligation to obtain any reports that are posted on EDGAR.

      Supplemental Indentures

       

      Section 8.01.          Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders of Notes.  For the purposes of the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture, no amendment to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this
          First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes made solely to conform this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes to the Description of the Notes contained in the Company’s offering memorandum dated May 10,
          2022, to the extent that such provision in the Description of the Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes, shall be deemed to adversely affect the
          interests of the Holders of any Notes.

       

      Section 8.02.          Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders of Notes.  Section 9.02 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 9.02 in the Base Indenture
          shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 8.02.

       

      With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes affected by such supplemental
        indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into an
        indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of such Notes under the
        Indenture; provided, however, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

       

      (a)          change the Stated Maturity of
          the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Note;

       

      (b)          reduce the principal amount of
          any Note which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture, or reduce the rate of or extend the time of payment of interest on any Note;

       

      (c)          reduce the Repurchase Price in
          connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event;

       

      (d)          reduce any premium payable upon
          the redemption of or change the date on which any Note may or must be redeemed;

       

      
        30

        
          


      

      (e)          change the coin or currency in
          which the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note is payable;

       

      (f)          change the date on which any
          Note may or must be redeemed;

       

      (g)          impair the right of any Holder
          to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the redemption date or a Repurchase Price Payment Date, as applicable);

       

      (h)          reduce the percentage in
          principal amount of the Outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is required for modification or amendment of this First Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance
          with certain provisions of the Base Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and hereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture;

       

      (i)          modify any of the provisions of
          this Section 8.02 or Section 5.12 or Section 10.05 of the Base Indenture, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
          Outstanding Note affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the
          references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section 8.02 and Section 10.05 of the Base Indenture, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 6.11 and 9.01(g) of the Base Indenture;

       

      (j)          subordinate the Notes or any
          Guarantee of a Guarantor in respect thereof to any other obligation of the Company or such Guarantor;

       

      (k)          modify the terms of any
          Guarantee in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; or

       

      (l)          modify clauses (a) through (k)
          above.

       

      It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
        shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

       

      A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
        benefit of one or more particular series of Securities other than the Notes, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under
        this Indenture of the Holders of the Notes.

       

      
        31

        
          


      

      In addition, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, and
        subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.05 of the Base Indenture, waive compliance with the Credit Parties’ covenants described under Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 of this First Supplemental Indenture and Article 9 and Section
        14.02 of the Base Indenture (other than any covenant, a modification to which under clause (e) of this Section 8.02 would require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby).

      Defeasance

       

      Section 9.01.          Covenant Defeasance.  Section 13.03 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 13.03 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to
          this Section 9.01.

       

      Upon the Company’s exercise of its option, if any, to have Section 13.03 of the Base Indenture applied to the Notes, or if Section 13.03 of the Base
        Indenture shall otherwise apply to the Notes, (1) the Company and the Guarantors shall be released from their respective obligations and any covenants provided pursuant to Article 6 of this First Supplemental Indenture and Section 3.01(b)(18),
        Section 8.01, Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(l) and Article 14 of the Base Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.01(d) and Section 5.01(h) of the Base Indenture shall be
        deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Notes and the related Guarantees as provided in Section 13.03 of the Base Indenture on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 of the Base
        Indenture are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Notes and Guarantees thereof, each of the Company and the
        Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein or in the Base
        Indenture to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in the Base Indenture or in any other document, but the remainder of the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture and such
        Notes and Guarantees thereof shall be unaffected thereby.

          Supplemental Indenture forms a part thereof.

       

      Section 10.02.          Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.  The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the

      Section 10.03.          Separability Clause.  In case any provision in this First Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
          provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

       

      Section 10.04.          Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements in this First Supplemental Indenture by the Company and the Guarantors shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All
          agreements of the Trustee in this First Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

       

      Section 10.05.          Execution and Counterparts.  This First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall
          together constitute but one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this First Supplemental Indenture or any document to be signed in connection with this First
          Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature,
          physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

       

      Section 10.06.          Governing Law.  This First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

       

      Section 10.07.          FATCA.  In order to comply with applicable tax laws, rules and regulations (inclusive of directives, guidelines and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time
          (“Applicable Law”), the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under the Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law (and shall timely pay the amounts so withheld or deducted to the
          applicable governmental authority) for which The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall not have any liability, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Company and the Trustee agrees to reasonably
          cooperate and, at the reasonable request of the other, to provide the other with such information as each may have in its possession that is necessary to enable the determination of whether any payments hereunder are subject to FATCA Withholding
          Tax.
