W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 3, 2018 providing for the issuance of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Initial Guarantors and the Trustee hereby enter into this Effective Date Supplemental Indenture, under which the Initial Guarantors shall become party to the Indenture;

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Effective Date Supplemental Indenture, the Initial Guarantors shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the “Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Effective Date Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Initial Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

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