Officers’ Certificate and Company Order 

Pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 4, 2008 (the “Indenture”), between UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 30, 2007, this Officers’
Certificate and Company Order is being delivered to the Trustee to establish the terms of a series of Securities in accordance with Section 301 of the Indenture, to establish the form of the Securities of such series in accordance with
Section 201 of the Indenture, to request the authentication and delivery of the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture and to comply with the provisions of Section 102 of the Indenture. This Officers’
Certificate and Company Order shall be treated for all purposes under the Indenture as a supplemental indenture thereto. 
 All conditions
precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to (i) the establishment of a series of Securities, (ii) the establishment of the form of Securities of such series and (iii) the procedures for authentication and delivery of such
series of Securities have been complied with. 
 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 A.     Establishment of a Series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 of
the Indenture. 
 There is hereby established pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture a series of Securities which shall have the
following terms: 
  

	 	(1)	 The Securities shall bear the title “0.550% Notes due May 15, 2024” (referred to herein as the
“Notes”). 


  

	 	(2)	 The aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be issued pursuant to this Officers’ Certificate and
Company Order shall be limited to $1,000,000,000 except for (a) Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, or 1007 of the
Indenture, (b) Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered thereunder and (c) any Securities of this series which are issued in the manner contemplated by paragraph
19(a) hereof. 


  

	 	(3)	 Interest shall be payable to the Person in whose name a Note (or any Predecessor Security) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined below) immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date (as defined below). In the event that any Interest Payment Date, the date of maturity or any date of repurchase or Redemption Date falls
on a date that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the related payment of principal and interest shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, but the payment made on such date will be
















	 	
treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the holders of the Notes shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payments with respect to such postponement.
“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or Minneapolis, Minnesota are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.


  

	 	(4)	 The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be May 15, 2024. 



 

	 	(5)	 The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 0.550% per annum (based upon a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months), from May 19, 2021 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case
may be, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 in each year, commencing November 15, 2021, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Each such May 15 and November 15 shall be an
“Interest Payment Date” for the Notes, and each May 1 and November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date for the Notes shall be the “Regular Record
Date” for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. 


 The provision related to interest on overdue
principal in Section 501 of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes. 
  

	 	(6)	 Principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be payable, and, except as provided in
Section 305 of the Indenture with respect to a Global Security (as defined below), the transfer of the Notes will be registrable and Notes will be exchangeable for notes bearing identical terms and provisions at the corporate trust office of
U.S. Bank National Association, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The method of such payment shall be by wire transfer for Notes held in book-entry form or at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto as shown on the Security
Register. 


  

	 	(7)	 The Notes will be subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before
May 15, 2022 (twenty-four months prior to their Stated Maturity), at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to the Redemption Date) that would be due if such Notes matured on May 15, 2022, discounted to
the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield (as defined below), plus 5 basis
points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 


 At any time
on or after May 15, 2022 (twenty-four months prior to their Stated Maturity), the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 For this purpose, the following terms have the following meanings: 

 

	 	•	 	 “Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day-count basis) yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent
Investment Banker appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed (assuming that the Notes matured on May 15, 2022). If the
Independent Investment Banker, after consultation with the Company, is unable to select such a security, then another security would be utilized in accordance with customary financial practice in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of
the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Independent Investment Banker” means any of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities,
Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or their respective successors or, if such firms are unwilling or unable to select the
Comparable Treasury Issue, one of the remaining Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA
Securities, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or their affiliates; (ii) any other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States
(a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) designated by, and not affiliated with, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, PNC Capital
Markets LLC or Wells Fargo 



  
 3 














	 	 
Securities, LLC; provided, however, in the case of (i) and (ii), that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will appoint another Primary Treasury
Dealer as a substitute for such entity; and (iii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and
any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 


 A notice of redemption
may provide that it is subject to certain conditions that will be specified in the notice. If those conditions are not met, the redemption notice will be of no effect and the Company will not be obligated to redeem the Notes. 

A partial redemption of the Notes may be effected on a pro rata basis (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal and stock exchange
requirements, if any) or in such method as the Trustee, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee may provide for the selection for redemption of portions in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000;
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be
redeemed. 
 Unless any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, on and after the Redemption Date
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
  

	 	(8)	 The Company shall not be obligated to redeem or purchase any Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous
provisions. 


  

	 	(9)	 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option
to redeem all the Notes of this series, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes of this series to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series
repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes of this series repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering
Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of 



  
 4 














	 	
Control, a notice shall be transmitted to Holders of the Notes of this series describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to
repurchase such 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 transmitted (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if
transmitted prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 


In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of
Control Payment Date, the Holder’s Note together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed to the Note) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national
securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth: 
  

	 	(i)	 the name of the Holder of the Note; 



 

	 	(ii)	 the principal amount of the Note; 



 

	 	(iii)	 the principal amount of the Note to be repurchased; 



 

	 	(iv)	 the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of the Note; 



 

	 	(v)	 a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and 



 

	 	(vi)	 a guarantee that the Note, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be
received by the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 


 Any exercise by a
Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of the Note, but in that event the principal amount of the Note remaining
outstanding after repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 On the Change of Control Payment
Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
  

	 	(i)	 accept for payment all Notes of this series or portions of such 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 of this
series or portions of such Notes properly tendered; and 



  
 5 














	 	(iii)	 deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes of this series properly accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series or portions of such Notes being repurchased. 



The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third
party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Notes of this series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In
addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes of this series 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 upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes of this series 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 the Change of Control Offer
provisions of the Notes of this series, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes of this series by virtue
of any such conflict. 
 For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes of this series, the following terms have the
following meanings: 
  

	 	•	 	 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or
indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a

which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates
with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other
property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the

Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any

Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or

	 	•	 	 “Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes of this series is lowered by each of the three
Rating Agencies and the Notes of this series are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the three Rating Agencies on any day during the period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes of this series is under

which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse side hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
[        ] ($[        ]) on May 15, 2024 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest thereon from May 19, 2021 or from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing November 15, 2021, and at maturity, at the rate
of 0.550% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such interest, which shall be the May 1 or November 1 (whether or not a Business Day, as hereinafter defined) immediately preceding
each such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record
Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may be paid (i) to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or (ii) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which this Note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (ii), such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee. In the event that any Interest Payment Date, the date of maturity or any date of repurchase or Redemption Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal and interest shall be postponed
to the next succeeding Business Day, but the payment made on such date will be 












 
treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the Holder of this Note shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payments with respect to such postponement.
“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or Minneapolis, Minnesota are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. 

Payment of the principal of and the interest on this Note will be made at the corporate trust office of U.S. Bank National Association, in St.
Paul, Minnesota, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The method of such payment shall be by wire transfer for a Note held in book-entry form or
at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto as shown on the Security Register. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note due at maturity will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation of
this Note. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse side hereof, which further provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

0.550% Notes due May 15, 2024 












 [REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued and to be issued in one
or more series under an indenture, dated as of February 4, 2008, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as further supplemented by an
Officers’ Certificate and Company Order, dated May 19, 2021, pursuant to Section 301 of the indenture (together, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000; provided, however, that the Company may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes of this series, issue additional notes with the same terms as the Notes of this series, and such additional notes shall be considered part of the same series under the Indenture as
the Notes of this series. 
 Optional Redemption 

This Note is redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before May 15, 2022 (twenty-four months prior to its
Stated Maturity), at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest on this Note to be redeemed (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to the Redemption Date) that would be due if this Note matured on May 15, 2022, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield (as defined below), plus 5 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but
not including, the Redemption Date. 
 At any time on or after May 15, 2022 (twenty-four months prior to its Stated Maturity), this
Note will be redeemable, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but
not including, the Redemption Date. 
 For this purpose, the following terms have the following meanings: 

 

	 	•	 	 “Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day-count basis) yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage
of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent
Investment Banker appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Note being redeemed (assuming that the Notes matured on May 15, 2022). If the
Independent Investment Banker, after consultation with the Company, is unable to select such a security, then another security would be utilized in accordance with customary financial practice in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Note being redeemed. 



  
 4 














	 	•	 	 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Independent Investment Banker” means any of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc.,
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or their respective successors or, if such firms are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable
Treasury Issue, one of the remaining Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities,
Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or their affiliates; (ii) any other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a
“Primary Treasury Dealer”) designated by, and not affiliated with, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, PNC Capital Markets
LLC, or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC; provided, however, in the case of (i) and (ii), that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will appoint another Primary Treasury Dealer as a substitute for such
entity; and (iii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee. 


  

	 	•	 	 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 


 A notice of redemption
may provide that it is subject to certain conditions that will be specified in the notice. If those conditions are not met, the redemption notice will be of no effect and the Company will not be obligated to redeem this Note. 

A partial redemption of the Notes may be effected on a pro rata basis (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal and stock exchange
requirements, if any) or in such method as the Trustee, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee may provide for the selection for redemption of portions in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000;
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to
be redeemed. 
 Unless any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, on and after the Redemption
Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 This Note will not be entitled to any sinking
fund.

 Change of Control Offer 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined herein) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem all the Notes of this
series, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes of this series to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that
Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Notes of this series repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option,
prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be transmitted to Holders of the Notes of this series describing the transaction that
constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such 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
transmitted (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if transmitted prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event
occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver to
the Paying Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, this Note together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed hereto) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth: 

(i)    the name of the Holder of this Note; 

(ii)    the principal amount of this Note; 

(iii)    the principal amount of this Note to be repurchased; 

(iv)    the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this Note; 

(v)    a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and 

(vi)    a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be
received by the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 Any exercise by a Holder of its
election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of this Note, but in that event the principal amount of this Note remaining outstanding after
repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the
Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (i)    accept for payment all Notes of this series or portions of such 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 of this series or portions of such Notes properly tendered; and 

(iii)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes of this series properly accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series or portions of such Notes being repurchased. 

  
 6 













 The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Notes of this series properly
tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes of this series 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 upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 The Company shall comply with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes of this series 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 the Change of
Control Offer provisions of the Notes of this series, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes of this
series by virtue of any such conflict. 
 For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes of this series, the following
terms are applicable: 
  

	 	•	 	 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any
person, other than the Company or a Subsidiary; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the
Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or
merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property,
other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any
direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or
(5) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a
direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(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 the
Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for
election as a director).

the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be.



  

	 	•	 	 “Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes of this series is lowered by each of the three Rating
Agencies and the Notes of this series are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the three Rating Agencies on any day during the period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes of this series is under publicly
announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) commencing on the date of the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60
