The 2014 Additional Notes shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and shall have the terms specified therein and those set forth in this Third Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and those made part of this Third Supplemental Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

The Indenture is amended by adding thereto Schedule 1.01 in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Third Supplemental Indenture.

This Third Supplemental Indenture will become effective immediately upon its execution and delivery by each party hereto.

Section 5.02 Continuing Effect of Indenture.

Except as expressly provided herein, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes shall remain in full force and effect. Each reference in the Indenture to “this Indenture”, “hereof”, “herein”, “hereto” or words of like import referring to the Indenture shall mean and be deemed a reference to the Indenture as modified hereby. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms of the Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture, the terms of this Third Supplemental Indenture will control and govern.

This Third Supplemental Indenture is executed as and shall constitute an indenture supplemental to the Indenture and shall be construed in connection with and as part of the Indenture. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

If any provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture that is required to be included by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date as of which this Third Supplemental Indenture is executed, the provision required by said Act shall control.

The recitals contained in this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Guarantors, and the Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent assume no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Third Supplemental Indenture. All rights, protections, privileges, indemnities and benefits granted or afforded to the Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent under the Indenture shall be deemed incorporated herein by this reference and shall be deemed applicable to all actions taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent under this Third Supplemental Indenture.

Section 5.06 Closing Deliverables.

The Issuer has delivered to the Trustee (a) an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate (i) required under Section 9.06 of the Indenture and (ii) stating in effect that the conditions precedent for the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture and the authentication of the 2014 Additional Notes have been fulfilled, and (b) an Authentication Order complying with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Indenture specifying (i) the amount of 2014 Additional Notes to be authenticated, which shall be $425,000,000, (ii) the date on which the 2014 Additional Notes are to be authenticated, which shall be the Additional Notes Issue Date, (iii) whether the 2014 Additional Notes are to be issued as Certificated Notes or Global Notes, (iv) whether the 2014 Additional Notes are to be Rule 144A notes or Regulation S notes and (v) such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request.

Each Holder by accepting a 2014 Additional Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the 2014 Additional Notes and the Note Guarantees. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. It is the view of the SEC that this type of waiver is against public policy.

This Third Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Any executed counterpart delivered by facsimile,

.pdf or other electronic transmission shall be effective as an original of such executed counterpart. In case any provision in this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provision shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The parties hereto have caused this Third Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed, all as of the day and year first above written.

Until otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s office or agency in New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

SECTION 3.    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

SECTION 5.    Optional Redemption. Except as set forth in Section 6 hereof, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to February 1, 2015. At any time or from time to time on or after February 1, 2015, the Issuer, at its option, may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as

percentages of principal amount) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning February 1 of the years indicated:

SECTION 6.    Optional Redemption upon Qualified Equity Offerings. (a) At any time or from time to time prior to February 1, 2015, the Issuer, at its option, may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture but without duplication with respect to the Exchange Notes) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 110.75% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture but without duplication with respect to the Exchange Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (ii) such redemption shall occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

SECTION 7.    Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required

to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase.

The Issuer is, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, obligated to make an offer to purchase Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase, with (i) net cash proceeds of certain sales or other dispositions of assets and (ii) Excess Cash Flow, in each case in accordance with the Indenture.

SECTION 8.    Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and redeemed Notes will be cancelled as of the redemption date so long as the Issuer has deposited with the paying agent for the Notes funds in satisfaction of the redemption price (including accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed) pursuant to the Indenture.

SECTION 9.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuers and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 10.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

SECTION 11.    Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes, maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note. In addition, without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Issuers may enter into an Intercreditor Agreement if a Revolving

Credit Facility is entered into after the date of the Indenture; provided that any such Intercreditor Agreement shall contain the terms as are specified in Section 9.07 of the Indenture, in all material respects.

SECTION 12.    Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes generally may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the Indenture, with respect to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal or interest including an accelerated payment or the failure to make a payment on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Net Proceeds Payment Date pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer or the

Excess Cash Flow Payment Date pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer or a Default in complying with the provisions of Article Five of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, or the premium on, the Notes.

SECTION 13.    Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer to make restricted payments, to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and other payments by Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets or to engage in transactions with affiliates. The Indenture also requires the Issuer to provide Holders of the Notes with the right to purchase, on a pro rata basis with respect to Notes held as of such date, Additional Notes in certain circumstances after June 30, 2015. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Issuers must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

SECTION 14. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, partner, member or manager of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Notes or the Indenture (as amended or supplemented from time to time), or of any Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

SECTION 15. Note Guarantees. This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

SECTION 16.    Collateral. The Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by the Note Liens on the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens and the exclusion of Excluded Property, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and the Guarantors have entered into a Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Lenders are entitled, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, to a Revolving Facility First-Priority Lien on the Revolving Facility First-Priority Collateral, and the holders of the Notes have a Note Second-Priority Lien on the Revolving Facility First-Priority Collateral. The Note Collateral Agent holds the Note Lien on the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to the Indenture, the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreement on the terms set forth in Section 9.07 of the Indenture as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture, and acknowledges that the Note Collateral Agent has entered into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, and will perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

SECTION 17.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuers. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers, their Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

SECTION 18.    Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

SECTION 19.    Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

SECTION 20.    CUSIP Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, “ISINs” and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly advise the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and Common Code numbers.

SECTION 21.    Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of laws to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.

days of the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

SECTION 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of

repurchase.

The Issuer is, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, obligated to make an offer to purchase Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase, with (i) net cash proceeds of certain sales or other dispositions of assets and (ii) Excess Cash Flow, in each case in accordance with the Indenture.

SECTION 8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and redeemed Notes will be cancelled as of the redemption date so long as the Issuer has deposited with the paying agent for the Notes funds in satisfaction of the redemption price (including accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed) pursuant to the Indenture.

SECTION 9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuers and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

SECTION 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes, maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note. In addition, without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Issuers may enter into an Intercreditor Agreement if a Revolving Credit Facility is entered into after the date of the Indenture; provided that any such

Intercreditor Agreement shall contain the terms as are specified in Section 9.07 of the Indenture, in all material respects.

SECTION 12. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes generally may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the Indenture, with respect to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal or interest including an accelerated payment or the failure to make a payment on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Net Proceeds Payment Date pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer or the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer or a Default in complying with the provisions of Article Five of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, or the premium on, the Notes.

SECTION 13. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer to make restricted payments, to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and other payments by Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets or to engage in transactions with affiliates. The Indenture also requires the Issuer to provide Holders of the Notes with the right to purchase, on a pro rata basis with respect to Notes held as of such date, Additional Notes in certain circumstances after June 30, 2015. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Issuers must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

SECTION 14. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, partner, member or manager of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Notes or the Indenture (as amended or supplemented from time to time), or of any Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their

creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

SECTION 15. Note Guarantees. This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

SECTION 16. Collateral. The Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by the Note Liens on the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens and the exclusion of Excluded Property, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and the Guarantors have entered into a Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Lenders are entitled, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, to a Revolving Facility First-Priority Lien on the Revolving Facility First-Priority Collateral, and the holders of the Notes have a Note Second-Priority Lien on the Revolving Facility First-Priority Collateral. The Note Collateral Agent holds the Note Lien on the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to the Indenture, the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreement on the terms set forth in Section 9.07 of the Indenture as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture, and acknowledges that the Note Collateral Agent has entered into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, and will perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

SECTION 17. Trustee Dealings with the Issuers. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers, their Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

SECTION 18. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

SECTION 19. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

SECTION 20. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, “ISINs” and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on

the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly advise the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and Common Code numbers.

The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.
