    WHEREAS, the Issuer has obtained the Requisite Consents to the Amendments pursuant to the consent solicitation statement, dated June 15, 2020 (as

              	(i)	
                The definition of “Change of Control” in Article 1.01 of the Indenture is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

              


      

    

    

    

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

    

    

    

    

    
      1

      
        


    

     

    

    (1)  the sale, lease or transfer, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer and
      its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person other than the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries or one or more Permitted Holders;

    

    

    (2)  the Issuer becomes aware of (by way of a report or any other filing pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, proxy, vote, written notice or
      otherwise) the acquisition by any Person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities
      (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than one or more Permitted Holders, in a single transaction or in a related series of transactions, by way of acquisition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, transfer,
      conveyance or other business combination or purchase of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, or any successor provision), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock
      of the Issuer, other than by virtue of (a) the imposition of one or more holding companies (including in connection with a business combination and regardless of whether any such holding company has other assets) or (b) the reincorporation of the
      Issuer in another jurisdiction, if in the case of either (a) or (b), (i) the beneficial owners of 100% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction directly or indirectly hold a majority of the
      voting power of the Voting Stock of such holding company or reincorporation entity immediately thereafter and (ii) no Person or group beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer immediately following such
      transaction if such Person or group did not beneficially own more than 50% of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer prior to such transaction; or

    

    

    (3)  (x) the Issuer merges or consolidates with or into any Person (except in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Issuer following which the
      Issuer or the surviving Person in such transaction is a Subsidiary of another Person, which shall be subject to clause (2) above) or (y) any Subsidiary of the Issuer merges or consolidates with or into any Person and, in the case of this subclause
      (y), in connection therewith Voting Stock of the Issuer is issued to shareholders of such other Person, unless, in the case of each of subclauses (x) and (y), immediately following such transaction, (i) the beneficial owners of 100% of the voting
      power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly hold a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer or such Person in such transaction immediately after such transaction and (ii)
      no Person or group beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuer or such Person immediately following such transaction if such Person or group did not beneficially own more than 50% of the voting power of the
      Voting Stock of the Issuer prior to such transaction, in each case, other than one or more Permitted Holders.

    

    

    Notwithstanding the above, the acquisition by MIP V (FCC) AIV, L.P. and any other affiliate or managed funds and Ares Special Situations Fund IV,
      L.P., ASOF Holdings I, L.P. and any other affiliates or managed funds of the Issuer will not be deemed a “Change of Control.”

    

    

    
      
        	

              	(ii)	
                The following, new defined term shall be added to Article 1.01 of the Indenture in alphabetical order:

              


      

    

    

    

    “Permitted Holder” means (a) senior executive officers or
      directors of the Issuer who are or become holders of Equity Interests of the Issuer, (b) any Subsidiary of the Issuer, (c) (i) Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets, Inc. (“MIRA”), MIP V (FCC) AIV, L.P. (and together with MIRA, “Macquarie”), and
      any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) any investment fund or vehicle managed, sponsored or advised by Macquarie or any Affiliate thereof, and any Affiliate of or successor to any such investment fund or vehicle and (iii) any limited or general
      partners of, or other investors in, any Macquarie investor or any Affiliate thereof, or any such investment fund or vehicle (but, in case of this clause (c), excluding any portfolio companies of any of the foregoing), (d) (i) Ares Special Situations
      Fund IV, L.P. and ASOF Holdings I, L.P. (collectively, “Ares”) and any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) any investment fund 

    

    

    

    

    
      2

      
        


    

    

    

    or vehicle managed, sponsored or advised by Ares or any Affiliate thereof, and any Affiliate of or successor to any such investment fund or vehicle
      and (iii) any limited or general partners of, or other investors in, any Ares investor or any Affiliate thereof, or any such investment fund or vehicle (but, in case of this clause (d), excluding any portfolio companies of any of the foregoing), and
      (e) any Person or combination of Persons that, directly or indirectly, holds or acquires beneficial ownership of 100% on a fully diluted basis of the Voting Stock of the Issuer, and of which no other Person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules
      13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the Issue Date), other than any of the other Permitted Holders specified in any of clauses (a) through (d) above, beneficially owns more than 50% on a fully diluted basis of the Voting Stock
      thereof. Any Person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) whose acquisition of beneficial ownership constitutes a Change of Control in respect of which a Change of Control
      Offer is made in accordance with the requirements of this Indenture will thereafter, together with its Affiliates, constitute an additional Permitted Holder.

    

    

    
      
        
          	

                	(iii)	
                  The Indenture shall be amended by adding the following, new Section 4.22:

                


        

      

      

      

    

    “SECTION 4.22 Limitation on Optional Redemption.  The Issuer shall not redeem all or a part of the Notes, prior to October 15, 2021
      pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Indenture.”

    

    

    ARTICLE 3

    MISCELLANEOUS

    

    

    Section 3.1. Effectiveness; Operative Time; Reversal; Authorization.

    

    

    (i)          This Second Supplemental Indenture shall become
        effective and binding on the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and every Holder of the Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, upon the date on which it is executed by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the
        Trustee (the “Effective Date”); provided, however,
        that the Amendments set forth in Article 2 hereof shall become operative immediately prior to the consummation of the Acquisition (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement) (the “Amendment Operative Time”) if the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee confirming that substantially concurrently with delivery of such Officer’s Certificate that (i) the Consent
        Fee (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement) has been paid to consenting Holders in accordance with the Consent Solicitation Statement and (ii) the Issuer and the Guarantors have executed any necessary agreement or instrument in
        connection with the granting of the Collateral (the “Operative Conditions”). If the Operative Conditions fail to occur, the Indenture will
        revert to the form in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with written notice of such failure and such reversion.

    

    

    (ii)            From and after the Amendment Operative Time,
        the Indenture shall be amended and supplemented in accordance herewith. Each reference in the Indenture to “this Indenture,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” or “herein” shall mean and be a reference to the Indenture as amended and supplemented by this
        Second Supplemental Indenture unless the context otherwise requires. The Indenture as amended and supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument, and every Holder of the Notes
        heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture as supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be bound thereby.

    

    

    (iii)          Upon the Effective Date of this Second
        Supplemental Indenture, each holder of the Notes (or any beneficial ownership interest therein) will be deemed to have authorized the Trustee and Regions Bank or any other institution selected to serve in such role, to act as the collateral agent
        (the “Collateral Agent”), to enter into the Collateral Supplemental Indentures, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor
        Agreement, any other agreement or instrument in connection with the granting of the Collateral (each as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement) and any amendment or modification thereto in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer that is
        necessary to provide a security interest in the Collateral or to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency

     

        

     

        

    
      3

      
        


    

    

    

    (including, without limitation, any inconsistency between the text of such documents with
        the description of the Collateral Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement contained in this Consent Solicitation Statement to the extent any such text was intended (as evidenced by an officer’s
        certificate) to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Collateral Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents or First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), on behalf of such holder of the Notes and each holder of the Notes will be
      bound by the terms of the Collateral Supplemental Indentures, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other agreement or instrument in connection with the granting of the Collateral.  Each holder of the Notes (or any
      beneficial ownership interest therein) will be deemed to have authorized the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to execute any and all documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and take all such further actions (including the filing
      and recording of financing statements, fixture filings and other documents) that the Goldman Sachs Bank USA or another entity in such role, in its capacity as collateral agent under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities  (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement) (in such capacity, the “Controlling
        Collateral Agent”) may reasonably request (including, without limitation, those required by applicable law), all at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors, to secure the Notes and the Note Guarantees on an equal and ratable basis with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Collateral.

    

    

    Section 3.2. Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms,
      conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Second Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be
      bound hereby.

    

    

    Section 3.3. Severability. In case any provision in this Second Supplemental Indenture 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 and such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability.

    

    

    Section 3.4. No Recourse Against Others. Pursuant to Section 12.06 of the Indenture, no director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member, manager or partner of the Issuer or each
      Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations under the Notes, the Indenture, this Second Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

    

    

    Section 3.5. Governing Law. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

    

    

    Section 3.6. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Second Supplemental Indenture (including by electronic transmission). Each signed copy shall be an original, but all
      of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Second Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental
      Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Second Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all
      purposes.

    

    

    Section 3.7. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

    

    

    Section 3.8. Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Second Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of
      the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Issuer and each Guarantor.
