 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on August 9, 2016, the Purchaser
commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, including all associated preferred stock purchase rights under that certain Rights Agreement dated as of

Offer; 
 WHEREAS, following the completion of the Offer and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, substantially simultaneously with the execution hereof,

properly demands appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and converted into the right
to receive an amount in cash, payable to the holder thereof, equal to the Offer Price; 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, the Merger constitutes
a Merger Event under the Indenture and Section 10.08(a) of the Indenture provides that the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Indenture providing that, at and after the
effective time of such Merger Event the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into shares of Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock will be changed into the right to convert such principal amount of Notes
into a number of Units of Reference Property initially equal to the Conversion Rate in effect prior to the effective time of the Merger Event and an amount of cash in lieu of any fractional Unit of Reference Property equal to the product of
(i) such fractional Unit of Reference Property and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of a Unit of Reference Property on the applicable Conversion Date; 

WHEREAS, this Supplemental Indenture has not resulted in a material modification of the Notes for the purposes of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act; 

WHEREAS, the Company desires that the Trustee join with it in the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, and in accordance with Sections
7.02(b), 9.03, 10.08(a), 12.03 and 12.04 of the Indenture, has delivered an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee responsive to and in compliance with the matters stated therein; and
