W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, are party to an Indenture, dated as of April 25, 2017 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”), relating to the issuance from time to time by the Issuer of Notes;

WHEREAS, Section 9.1(xiv) of the Indenture provides that the Issuer may provide for the issuance of Notes of any series as permitted by Section 2.4 therein;

WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes (as defined herein), the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture to establish the forms and terms of the 2025 Notes as hereinafter described; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.1 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 Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. Defined Terms. As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as so defined. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.

2. Title of Notes. There shall be a series of Notes of the Issuer designated the “5.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”).

3. Maturity Date. The final Stated Maturity of the 2025 Notes shall be May 1, 2025.

4. Interest and Interest Rates. Interest on the Outstanding principal amount of 2025 Notes will accrue at the rate of 5.125% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 in each year, commencing on November 1, 2017, to holders of record on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15, respectively (each such April 15 and October 15, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on the 2025 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 April 25, 2017, except that interest on any Additional 2025 Notes (as defined below) issued on or after the first Interest Payment Date 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 2025 Notes, from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the

 

1


date of issuance of such Additional 2025 Notes (or if the date of issuance of such Additional 2025 Notes is an Interest Payment Date, from such date of issuance); provided that if any 2025 Note is 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 2025 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding under the Indenture is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes shall initially be $350.0 million. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue Additional Notes having the same terms and conditions as the 2025 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 2025 Notes (any such Additional Notes, “Additional 2025 Notes”), unless otherwise specified for Additional Notes in an applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, or otherwise designated by the Issuer, as contemplated by Section 2.4 of the Indenture.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, upon notice as described in Section 5.4 of the Indenture, on or prior to May 1, 2020, the Issuer may redeem in the aggregate up to 40.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of any Additional 2025 Notes, or any other Additional Notes of the same series as the 2025 Notes) with an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, to the extent net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Issuer or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) equal to 105.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date); provided, however, that at least 50.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of any Additional 2025 Notes, or any other Additional Notes of the same series as the 2025 Notes) must remain outstanding after each such redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 180 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated.

Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any 2025 Note on any applicable Redemption Date, as calculated by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer shall designate (and the Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the calculations of the same), the greater of:

 

  (1) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Note; and

 

  (2) the excess, if any, of

(b) the then outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Note.

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to a Redemption Date, the weekly average yield to maturity at the time of computation 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 the date of the applicable redemption notice (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 May 1, 2020, provided, however, that if the period from such Redemption Date to May 1, 2020 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from May 1, 2020 to such Redemption Date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.
