The Company shall not (nor shall it permit any of its Significant Subsidiaries to) create or permit to exist any Lien on any Principal Property of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (or on any Capital Stock of a Significant Subsidiary), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, to secure any Indebtedness, unless the Company shall contemporaneously secure the Notes (together with, if the Company so determines, any other Indebtedness of, or guaranteed by, the Company or such Significant

Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinated to the Notes) equally and ratably with (or, at the Company’s option, prior to) that obligation. The foregoing restriction, however, will not require the Company to secure the Notes if the Lien consists of either of the following:

(a) Permitted Liens (it being understood that the definition of Permitted Liens is not intended to broaden the interpretation or otherwise expand the scope of the first sentence of this Section 3.1); or

(b) Liens securing Indebtedness if at the time the Indebtedness is incurred and after giving effect to such Indebtedness and to the retirement of Indebtedness which is concurrently being retired, the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries secured by Liens that are restricted by, and not otherwise permitted by, the provisions described under this Section 3.1 and (ii) the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt of all of the Company’s Sale and Lease-Back Transactions not otherwise permitted by the provisions described under the first sentence of Section 3.2 hereof, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Worth.

Section 3.2 Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Significant Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property, other than (x) any such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction involving a lease for a term of not more than three years or (y) any such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction between the Company and one of its Significant Subsidiaries or between its Significant Subsidiaries, unless:

(a) the Company or such Significant Subsidiary, as applicable, could have incurred Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property involved in such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the Notes, pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof; or

(b) the proceeds of such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value of the affected Principal Property (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or such Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be) and the Company applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction within 365 days of such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction to any (or a combination) of:

(ii) the prepayment or retirement (other than any mandatory retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by payment at maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company or of one of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or Indebtedness owed to the Company or one of its Significant Subsidiaries) that matures more than 12 months after its creation; or

(iii) the purchase, construction, development, expansion or improvement of other comparable property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction if at the time such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is incurred and after giving effect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction and the retirement of any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction which is concurrently being retired, the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries secured by Liens that are restricted by, and not otherwise permitted by, the provisions described under Section 3.1 hereof and (ii) the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt of all of the Company’s Sale and Lease-Back Transactions not otherwise permitted by the provisions described under the first sentence of this Section 3.2, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Worth.

Section 3.3 Limitations on Mergers and Other Transactions. Section 801 of the Base Indenture shall, with respect to the Notes, be replaced with the following:

“(a) The Company will not consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into any Person and will not convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person, unless:

(1) either (x) the Company is the surviving Person or (y) the Person surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such conveyance, transfer or lease has been made expressly assumes the Company’s obligations on the Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements of the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company and the Person so assuming the Company’s obligations is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; and

(2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default (and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default) shall have happened and be continuing.

(b) The Guarantor will not consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into any Person, unless:

(1) the Guarantor is the surviving Person or the surviving Person (if other than the Guarantor) is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and it expressly assumes the obligations under its Guarantee and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements of the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Guarantor; and

(1) the Guarantor may convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any Person; provided that if such conveyance, transfer or lease constitutes a conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the Company shall comply with paragraph (a) of this Section; and

(2) the restrictions in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section will not apply to any conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 3.4 Successor Substituted. Section 802 of the Base Indenture shall, with respect to the Notes, be replaced with the following:

“Upon any consolidation or amalgamation of the Company or the Guarantor with, or merger of the Company or the Guarantor into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person, the surviving or transferee Person (in the case of the Company) or the surviving Person (in the case of the Guarantor) shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person or surviving Person had been named as the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture, the Securities and any applicable Guarantees.”

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to a series of Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem such Notes pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by causing a notice of redemption to be delivered to the Holders of such Notes, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of such Notes to repurchase all or, at such Holder’s option, any part (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes of such series (the “Change of Control Offer”) for payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to a series of Notes or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the transaction or transactions that constitutes or may constitute a Change of Control, the Company shall cause a notice to be mailed to Holders of the Notes of such series, with a copy to the Trustee for the Notes, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 Days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Notes of the applicable series and described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.5, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.5 by virtue of such conflict.

(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

(e) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail, to each Holder who properly tendered Notes, the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each such Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(f) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In the event that such third party terminates or defaults on its Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to make a Change of Control Offer treating the date of such termination or default as though it were the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event.

(g) The Company shall not be required to purchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of our Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no Person or Group (other than such holding company) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

(a) Subject to Article Eleven of the Base Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem either series of the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the 2020 Par Call Date, in the case of the 2020 Notes, or prior to the 2025 Par Call Date, in the case of the 2025 Notes, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:

(ii) the sum of (x) the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus (y) 20 basis points, in the case of the 2020 Notes, and 25 basis points, in the case of the 2025 Notes,

plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date for the Notes to be redeemed.

(b) Subject to Article Eleven of the Base Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem either series of the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the 2020 Par Call Date, in the case of the 2020 Notes, or on or after the 2025 Par Call Date, in the case of the 2025 Notes, at a redemption price (the “Par Call Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date.

(c) On and after the applicable Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, by lot and subject to Applicable Procedures of the Depository or by such method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate.

(d) Notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be given as provided in Section 1104 of the Base Indenture, except that any notice of such redemption shall not specify the related Optional Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the calculation of such Optional Redemption Price. The Company shall calculate such Optional Redemption Price and promptly notify the Trustee thereof.

Section 4.2 Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Redemption. (a) On the Issue Date, simultaneously with the issuance of the Notes, the Company will, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, deposit or cause to be deposited into the Escrow Account cash (collectively with the Escrow Account and any other property from time to time held in the Escrow Account, including any investments thereof, the “Escrow Property”) equal to the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes (after deducting the underwriting discount but before offering expenses). The Escrow Agreement provides that, on or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Outside Date, upon delivery to the Escrow Agent of an officer’s certificate pursuant to Section 1.05(b) of the Escrow Agreement certifying that the Merger will be consummated, simultaneously or substantially concurrently with the release of funds from the Escrow Account, on substantially the terms contemplated in the Merger Agreement as in effect on October 26, 2015, without any waiver or other modification thereof or consent thereunder that is materially adverse to the interest of the Holders (as reasonably determined by the Company) (such certification and delivery, the “Escrow Release Conditions”), the Escrow Agent will release the Escrow Property to or at the order of the Company (the date of such release, the “Escrow Release Date”).

(b) Unless the Escrow Release Conditions have been fulfilled or the Escrow Agent and the Trustee receive a termination notice from the Company pursuant to Section 1.05(d) of the Escrow Agreement on or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Outside Date, the Company shall redeem the Notes on the Outside Redemption Date, at a cash redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Outside Redemption Date (such redemption, the “Outside Redemption”), and on the Outside Redemption Date, the Trustee will effect the Outside Redemption on behalf of the Company.

(c) If the Company delivers a termination notice to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.05(d) of the Escrow Agreement prior to the Outside Date indicating that it will not pursue the consummation of the Merger or that the Merger Agreement has been amended, modified or waived, or any consent granted with respect thereto, in a manner that would be materially adverse to the Holders (as reasonably determined by the Company), the Company shall redeem the Notes on the date that is three Business Days after the Trustee sends the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to the Holders of the Notes (the “Termination Redemption Date”), at a cash redemption price equal to the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Termination Redemption

Date (such redemption, the “Termination Redemption” and, each of the Outside Redemption and the Termination Redemption, a “Special Mandatory Redemption”), and on the Termination Redemption Date, the Trustee shall effect the Termination Redemption on behalf of the Company.

(a) If the Company is required to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 4.2(b) hereof, the Trustee shall send a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption on behalf of the Company to the Holders of the Notes promptly after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Outside Date.

(b) If the Company is required to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 4.2(c) hereof, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Mandatory Redemption substantially concurrently with its delivery of the termination notice to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.05(d) of the Escrow Agreement, and no later than the next Business Day following the Company’s delivery of such written notice to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption on behalf of the Company to the Holders of the Notes.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (b), the Company may rescind or revoke such written notice to the Trustee at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee has given such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to the Holders of the Notes.

(d) The notice of Special Mandatory Redemption shall state: (i) the aggregate amount of Notes to be redeemed; (ii) the date of the Special Mandatory Redemption; (iii) the Special Mandatory Redemption Price and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be paid, if any; (iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (v) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Special Mandatory Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any; (vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the date of the Special Mandatory Redemption; (vii) the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; and (viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

(a) The provisions of Section 501 of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes; provided, however, that each reference to the term “Guarantor” in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 501 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the term “Significant Subsidiary of the Company.”

(b) In addition, any of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(i) a default on any Indebtedness of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company having an aggregate amount of at least $200,000,000, constituting a default either of payment of principal or which results in acceleration of the Indebtedness unless the default has been cured or waived or the Indebtedness discharged in full within 45 days after the Company has been notified of the default by the Trustee or Holders of 25% of the Outstanding aggregate principal amount of Securities of all affected series under the Indenture; and

(ii) one or more final judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $200,000,000 above available insurance or indemnity coverage shall be rendered against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 45 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, but only if such judgment is an event of default at that time under the Credit Agreement.

(c) A default or Event of Default with respect to one series of Notes will not necessarily be a default or Event of Default with respect to another series of Notes.

(d) The provisions of Section 502 of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes; provided that any references in Section 502 to an “Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6)” shall be amended with respect to the Notes by adding at the end thereof the words “with respect to the Company or any Guarantor.”

Section 6.1 Reports by Company. The Base Indenture is hereby amended, with respect to the Notes only, by replacing the text of Section 704 thereof with the following text:

“The Company shall file such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is filed with the Commission. For purposes of this provision, any such information, document or report that the Company has filed with the Commission and that is publicly accessible on the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee; provided that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to monitor whether any such filing has occurred.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).”

Section 7.1 Amendments. Supplemental indentures modifying the Indenture and the terms of the Notes may be entered into in accordance with Article IX of the Base Indenture, provided that the Base Indenture is hereby amended by deleting Section 902(2) thereof.

Section 8.1 Form of Guarantee. The Guarantor shall execute and deliver the Guarantee, dated the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, which is hereby established pursuant to Section 201 of the Base Indenture as the form of Guarantee in respect of each series of the Notes (and in lieu of the form of Guarantee set forth in Article Twelve of the Base Indenture).

(a) Prior to the Escrow Release Date, the Guarantee of the Guarantor will automatically terminate, and the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee will be unconditionally released and discharged, upon repayment of the Notes in full (including, without limitation, pursuant to a Special Mandatory Redemption).

(b) The Guarantee of the Guarantor will automatically terminate, and the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee will be unconditionally released and discharged, pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee executed and delivered by the Guarantor. Once released in accordance with its terms, the Guarantee of the Guarantor will not be required to be reinstated for any reason, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in the Guarantee.

Section 8.3 Officer’s Certificate upon Release of Guarantee. If the Guarantee of the Guarantor is deemed to be released or is automatically released, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the identity of the released Guarantor and the basis for the release; provided that no Officer’s Certificate is required to be delivered for a Guarantee released pursuant to Section 8.2(a). Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.

Section 9.1 Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Pursuant to Section 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby designates both series of Notes as being defeasible under Section 1402 or Section 1403 of the Base Indenture. The provisions of Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes, subject to Section 9.2 hereof.

(a) Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to have Section 1403 of the Base Indenture applied to either series of Notes, in addition to the provisions in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 1403 of the Base Indenture, the occurrence of any event specified under Section 5.1(b) hereof shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default and the Guarantee executed and delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof shall no longer apply, in each case with respect to such Notes as provided in Section 1403 of the Base Indenture on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 of the Base Indenture (as amended by paragraph (b) of this Section) are satisfied; provided that the Base Indenture is hereby amended by deleting “and 501(5)” from clause (2) of Section 1403 thereof.

(b) The Base Indenture is hereby amended, with respect to the conditions to the application of Section 1403 thereof only, by striking the text “in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee,” from clause (C) of paragraph (1) of Section 1404 thereof and replacing it with the following text: “, as certified by the Company in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (provided that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to assess or confirm the accuracy or sufficiency of any such deposit under this section, and that the Company shall provide the indemnification pursuant to Section 607(3) of the Base Indenture in relation thereto)”.

Section 10.1 Execution as Supplemental Indenture. This First Supplemental Indenture is executed and shall be construed as an indenture supplemental to the Base Indenture and, as provided in the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture forms a part thereof.

Section 10.2 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof, or with a provision of the Base Indenture, which is required to be included in this First Supplemental Indenture, or in the Base Indenture, respectively, by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control to the extent it is applicable.

Section 10.3 Certificates, Opinions, Etc. In any case where, pursuant to the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes or this First Supplemental Indenture or pursuant to the Indenture, several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any

specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes or this First Supplemental Indenture or under the Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 10.4 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 10.5 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee in this First Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 10.6 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this First Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.7 Benefits of First Supplemental Indenture. Nothing in this First Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this First Supplemental Indenture.

Section 10.8 Execution and Counterparts. This First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts (which may be delivered by means of facsimile or e-mail), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 10.9 Governing Law. This First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this First Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

[Insert any legend required by the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.]

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of Dollars on December 1, 2020, and to pay interest thereon from the most recent Interest Payment Date (or with respect to the first interest payment, the Issue Date) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 in each year, commencing June 1, 2016, and at the Maturity thereof, at the rate of 2.75% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, provided that any principal and premium, and any such installment of interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 2.75% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due (without regard to any grace period) until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be May 15 and November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

The Securities will be guaranteed NYSE Holdings LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Guarantee.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of November 24, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 24, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company, the Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,250,000,000. The Company may from time to time or at any time, without notice to, or the consent of, any Holder of Securities of this series, create and issue additional Securities having the same terms as Securities of this series (except for public offering price, issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and first Interest Payment Date), which additional Securities may increase the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series and, together with the Securities of this series, will constitute a single series under the Indenture and vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Securities of this series; provided, however, that any additional Securities that are not fungible with existing Securities of this series for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN and other identifying number than the existing Securities of this series.

As provided in Section 4.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Securities of this series are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the 2020 Par Call Date, on a date to be fixed by the Company on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ prior written notice, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of (x) the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the 2020 Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus (y) 20 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date for the Notes to be redeemed.

In addition, as provided in Section 4.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Securities of this series are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the 2020 Par Call Date, on a date to be fixed by the Company on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ prior written notice, at a redemption price (the “Par Call Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date.

As provided in Section 4.2 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Securities of this series are subject to Special Mandatory Redemption, on the date that is three Business Days after the Trustee sends the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to Holders of the Securities,

at a cash redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if (i) the Escrow Release Conditions have not been fulfilled or the Escrow Agent and the Trustee have not received a termination notice from the Company pursuant to Section 1.05(d) of the Escrow Agreement by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Outside Date or if (ii) the Company delivers a termination notice to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.05(d) of the Escrow Agreement prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Outside Date.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting together as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series at the time Outstanding (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture with respect to such series and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Securities of all affected series at the time Outstanding (voting together as a single class) shall

have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of all affected series at the time Outstanding (voting together as a single class) a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee and any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Guarantee shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

c. The guarantee of the Guarantor set forth in this Section is a guarantee of payment as a primary obligor, and not a guarantee of collection. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations, at any time and from time to time, may exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount, in each case without discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder or the rights, powers and remedies of any Guaranteed Party hereunder or under the Notes or the Indenture.

2. Guarantee Absolute. The Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security therefor or other guarantee or liability in respect thereof, whether given by the Guarantor or any other Person, and shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of any of the following, whether or not the Guarantor has notice or knowledge thereof:

a. any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any Guaranteed Obligations or any guarantee, security or other liability in respect thereof, or any amendment, modification or supplement to, restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or departure from, any provisions of the Notes or the Indenture, or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

e. any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations;

f. the exercise of any right or remedy available under the Notes or the Indenture, at law, in equity or otherwise in respect of any guarantee, security or other liability for any Guaranteed Obligations, in any order and by any manner thereby permitted;

g. any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, termination, reorganization or like change in the corporate structure or existence of the Company or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Guaranteed Obligations;

h. any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever realized, whether in reduction of any Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of the Company or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of what Guaranteed Obligations may remain unpaid after any such application; or

i. any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense, set-off or counterclaim available to, the Company, any Guarantor or a surety or guarantor generally, other than (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent and indemnification obligations not then due and payable), (ii) satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Section 401 of the Base Indenture, (iii) defeasance or covenant defeasance in accordance with Section 1402 or Section 1403 of the Base Indenture or (iv) Special Mandatory Redemption of the Notes in accordance with Section 4.2 of the First Supplemental Indenture (the satisfaction of any of these conditions shall constitute the “Termination Requirement”).

3. Certain Waivers. The Guarantor hereby knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waives:

b. any right to require the Guaranteed Parties or any of them, as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor hereunder, to proceed against, or to exhaust or have resort to any collateral or other security from or any deposit balance or other credit in favor of, the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Guaranteed Obligations, or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right; and any other defense based on an election of remedies with respect to any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations or for any guarantee or other liability in respect thereof, notwithstanding that any such election (including any failure to pursue or enforce any rights or remedies) may impair or extinguish any right of indemnification, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Guaranteed Obligations or any such collateral or other security;

c. any right or defense based on or arising by reason of any right or defense of the Company or any other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising from a lack of authority or other disability of the Company or any other Person, the invalidity or unenforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Notes or the Indenture or other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant thereto, or the cessation of the liability of the Company for any reason other than the satisfaction of the Termination Requirement;

d. any defense based on any Guaranteed Party’s acts or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, any guarantee, security or other liability in respect thereof or any collateral or other security for any of the foregoing, and promptness, diligence, or any requirement that any Guaranteed Party create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any Liens in any such security;

e. any right to assert against any Guaranteed Party, as a defense, counterclaim, crossclaim or set-off, any defense, counterclaim, claim, right of recoupment or set-off that it may at any time have against any Guaranteed Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, failure of consideration, fraud, fraudulent inducement, statute of limitations, payment, accord and satisfaction and usury), other than compulsory counterclaims and other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

f. any defense based on or afforded by any applicable law that limits the liability of or exonerates guarantors or sureties or that may in any other way conflict with the terms of this Guarantee.

4. No Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, until satisfaction of the Termination Requirement, it will not exercise any claim or right that it may have against the Company or any other Guarantor at any time as a result of any payment made by the Guarantor under or pursuant to this Guarantee or the performance or enforcement hereof, including any right of subrogation to the rights of any of the Guaranteed Parties against the Company or any other Guarantor, any right of indemnity, contribution or reimbursement against the Company or any other Guarantor, any right to enforce any remedies of any Guaranteed Party against the Company or any other Guarantor, or any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security held by any Guaranteed Party to secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether such claims or rights arise by contract, statute (including without limitation any applicable Insolvency Laws), common law or otherwise. The Guarantor further agrees that if any amount shall be paid to or any distribution received by the Guarantor on account of any such rights of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or reimbursement at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Termination Requirement, such amount or distribution shall be deemed to have been received and to be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Trustee in the form received (with any necessary endorsements in the case of written instruments), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not

matured, in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, as applicable, and without in any way discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting the liability of the Guarantor under any other provision of this Guarantee.

a. The Guarantor agrees that, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due (whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and without limitation of any other right or remedy that any Guaranteed Party may have at law, in equity or otherwise against the Guarantor, the Guarantor will, subject to the provisions of Section 1(b), forthwith pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, an amount equal to the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing as aforesaid.

b. All payments made by the Guarantor hereunder will be made in U.S. Dollars to the Trustee, without set-off, counterclaim or other defense, the Guarantor hereby agreeing to comply with and be bound by the provisions of the Indenture in respect of all payments made by it hereunder.

6. No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Guaranteed Parties expressly set forth in this Guarantee, the Notes and the Indenture are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of any Guaranteed Party in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Guarantor and the Guaranteed Parties or any Affiliate thereof (or the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors of any of the foregoing) shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Guarantee, the Notes or the Indenture or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of any Guaranteed Party to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

7. Enforcement; Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought against the Guarantor whether or not action is brought against the Company or any other Guarantor and whether or not the Company or any other Guarantor is joined in any such action. The Guarantor agrees that to the extent all or part of any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid under any Insolvency Laws (the amount of any such payment, a “Reclaimed Amount”), then, to the extent of such Reclaimed Amount, this Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect or be revived and reinstated, as the case may be, as to the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be satisfied as if such payment had not been received; and the Guarantor acknowledges that the term “Guaranteed Obligations” includes all Reclaimed Amounts that may arise from time to time.

8. Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver, discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by the Guarantor from, any provision of this Guarantee, shall be effective unless in a supplemental indenture signed by the Trustee, without consent of the Holders pursuant to Section 901 of the Base Indenture or with the consent of Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 902 of the Base Indenture (as supplemented by Section 7.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture), as the case may be, and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

9. Release. Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guarantee and this Guarantee shall terminate, without any need for further action by the Trustee or any Holder, at any time, (i) upon satisfaction of any Termination Requirement under Section 2(i) hereof, and (ii) if and when the Guarantor is no longer (or substantially simultaneously with such release will no longer be) an obligor (either borrower or guarantor) under the Credit Agreement.

10. Continuing Guarantee; Term; Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and covers all of the Guaranteed Obligations as the same may arise and be outstanding at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof, and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until released pursuant to Section 9 hereof and (ii) be binding upon and enforceable against the Guarantor and its successors and assigns.

11. Governing Law. This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, but excluding all other choice of law and conflicts of law rules).

12. Severability. To the extent any provision of this Guarantee is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Guarantee in any jurisdiction.

13. Construction. The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Guarantee have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular.

14. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Guarantee may be executed in any number of counterparts. This Guarantee shall become effective upon the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of a counterpart hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed by its duly authorized officers as of the date first above written.
