and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee are party to the Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2014 (as amended,
supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), which provides for the issuance from time to time of Notes by the Company; 

WHEREAS, Section 9.01(8) of the Indenture provides that the Company may provide for the issuance of Initial Notes in accordance with the
limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the Issue Date; 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes (as defined
herein), the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture to establish the forms and terms of the 2026 Notes as hereinafter described; and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the parties hereto are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture
to amend the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the benefit of the Holders as follows: 

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

2. Title of Notes. There shall be a series of Notes of the Company designated the “5.500% Senior Notes due 2026” (the
“2026 Notes”). 
 3. Maturity Date. The Maturity Date of the 2026 Notes shall be April 15, 2026. 

4. Interest and Interest Rates. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Notes will accrue at the rate of 5.500% per
annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on October 15, 2018, to holders of record on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1, respectively (each such
April 1 and October 1, a “Record Date”). Interest on the 2026 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from March 14, 2018, except
that interest on any Additional 2026 Notes (as defined below) issued on or after the first Interest Payment Date (and Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) will accrue (or will be deemed to have

 
accrued) from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid on such Additional 2026 Notes, from the Interest Payment Date immediately
preceding the date of issuance of such Additional 2026 Notes (or if the date of issuance of such Additional 2026 Notes is an Interest Payment Date, from such date of issuance); provided that if any 2026 Note and any Exchange Notes issued in
exchange therefor are surrendered for exchange on or after a record date for an Interest Payment Date that will occur on or after the date of such exchange, interest on such Note received in exchange thereof will accrue from such Interest Payment
Date. 
 5. No Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes that may be authenticated and
delivered and outstanding under the Indenture is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes shall initially be $325.0 million. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue Additional
Notes having the same terms and conditions as the 2026 Notes in all respects or in all respects except for issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first date on which interest accrues and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional
Notes issued in this manner will be consolidated with, and will form a single series with, the 2026 Notes (any such Additional Notes, “Additional 2026 Notes”), unless otherwise specified for Additional Notes in an applicable Notes
Supplemental Indenture, or otherwise designated by the Company, as contemplated by Section 2.01 of the Indenture. 
 6.
Redemption. (a) The 2026 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to April 15, 2021, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes redeemed plus the
Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any 2026 Note on any applicable Redemption Date, the greater of: 

(1) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of such 2026 Note; and 

(2) the excess, if any, of: 
 (a)
the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the 2026 Note at April 15, 2021 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 6(b)) plus (ii) all required
remaining scheduled interest payments due on the 2026 Note through April 15, 2021 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to such redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 75.0
basis points; over 
 (b) the then outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Note. 

“Treasury Rate” means, as of the applicable redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United
States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly 

 
available at least two business days prior to such redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly
equal to the period from such redemption date to April 15, 2021; provided, however, that if the period from such redemption date to April 15, 2021 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United
States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used. 
 (b) On or after April 15, 2021, the Company may
redeem all or a part of the 2026 Notes, at its option, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2026 Notes to be redeemed to the applicable Redemption
Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

			
	Year	  	Percentage
	 2021
	  	102.750%
	 2022
	  	101.375%
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	100.000%

 (c) At any time prior to April 15, 2021, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of
the aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes (including the aggregate principal amount of any Additional 2026 Notes) issued under the Indenture, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 105.500% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), with funds in an aggregate amount not
exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company or any contribution to the Company’s common equity capital made with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company’s direct or indirect
parent; provided that: 
 (i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes originally issued under this Indenture
(including the aggregate principal amount of any Additional 2026 Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

(ii) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of, and may be conditioned upon, the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(d) The Company may acquire 2026 Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated
transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture. 

(e) Any redemption or 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 an Equity Offering, other offering or other corporate transactions or events. If such redemption or notice is 

 
subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption
date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption
date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. Notice of any redemption in respect of an Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender for the 2026 Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2026 Notes in such tender offer and the Company, or any other Person making such tender offer, purchases all of the 2026 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such
Holders, the Company will have the right, upon notice given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such tender offer, to redeem all of the 2026 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the
price offered to each Holder in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of the 2026 Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date).

“SECTION 1.05. FINANCIAL CALCULATIONS FOR LIMITED CONDITION TRANSACTION. 

In connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, at the Issuer’s election, (a) for purposes of determining compliance with any
provision of the Indenture which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Issuer, be deemed satisfied, so
long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or
repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is given. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has 

 
exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (a), and any Default or Event of Default, as applicable, occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable
Limited Condition Transaction were entered into or irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is given and prior to the consummation of
such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default, as applicable, shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition
Transaction is permitted hereunder, and (b) in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of (1) determining compliance with any provision of the Indenture which requires the
calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Senior Secured Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio or (2) testing baskets set forth in the Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Tangible Assets), in each case, at
the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be
deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock is given, as applicable (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or
discharge of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds of such incurrence) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the
Issuer are available, the Issuer could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, basket or amount, such ratio, basket or amount shall be deemed to have been complied with. 

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was
determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in exchange rates or in EBITDA or Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Issuer or the Person subject to
such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, ratios or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Issuer has made an LCT
Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, basket or amount with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, Asset Sales, mergers,
the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the

 
earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of
such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, basket or amount shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or discharge of
Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. As used herein, the term “Limited Condition Transaction” means (x) any acquisition, including by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other business
combination or the acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise, by one or more of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries of any assets, business or Person or any other Investment permitted by the Indenture whose consummation is not conditioned on
the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing or (y) any redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock requiring irrevocable notice in advance of
such redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or prepayment. 
 (c) Section 3.03 is amended to (i) delete the

eighth line of such provision.

tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such Change of Control
Offer, to redeem all 2026 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of such redemption (subject to the

Trustee for cancellation of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium (as defined in the applicable
supplemental indenture with respect to each series of Notes), the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium (as defined in the
applicable supplemental indenture with respect to each series of Notes) calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption.
Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward

 (v) Section 8.01 is amended to add the following text after the last paragraph of the section: 

“The Notes of any series will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect, when:

any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium (as defined in the applicable
supplemental indenture with respect to such series of Notes), the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Notes of such series to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium (as defined in
the applicable supplemental indenture with respect to such series of Notes) calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of
redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be
applied toward such redemption; 
 (2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Notes of such series; and

 (3) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Notes of such series to apply the deposited money toward
the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s
Certificate and an opinion of counsel (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.” 

(w) Section 10.05(c) is amended to replace the text “and” with the text “or”. 

(x) Section 11.08 is amended to add the following text at the end of the section: 

“The Issuer has not qualified and does not expect to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. The Indenture will accordingly
not be subject to the Trust Indenture Act, and will not contain any provision corresponding or similar to certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that would otherwise apply if the Indenture were so qualified, including Trust Indenture Act
§316(b).” 
 8. Reserved.
