SECTION 2.01.       
Title and Terms; Payments. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the “3.550% Senior
Notes due 2027” initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,350,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in
any written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Original Indenture.


 


The principal
amount of Notes then outstanding shall be payable at Stated Maturity.


 


The Company
may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, hereafter issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”)
under the Indenture with the same terms and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Notes issued on the date of this Supplemental Indenture
(the “Initial Notes”) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if the Additional Notes
are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP
number. Any such Additional Notes shall constitute a single series together with the Initial Notes for all purposes hereunder,
including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and offers to purchase.


 


The Form
of Note shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this
Supplemental Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted
by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed
thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined
by the officers of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

The Company
shall pay principal of and interest on any Global Note in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the
case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note. The Company shall pay principal of any Notes (other than Notes that
are Global Notes) at the office or agency designated by the Company for that purpose. The Company has initially designated the
Trustee as its Paying Agent and Registrar in respect of the Notes and its agency in New York, New York as a place where Notes
may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer. The Company may, however, change the Paying Agent or Registrar for
the Notes without prior notice to the Holders thereof, and the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


SECTION 2.02.       
Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. The Notes initially shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes
(i) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary, and (ii) delivered to the Trustee, as custodian for
the Depositary. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Supplemental Indenture or the Original Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary,
or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and
its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder.


 


SECTION 2.03.       
CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in
use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the
Notes; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers as
printed on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the Notes. If such deposit is made as provided
above, the Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in
the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.


 


SECTION 3.03.       
Selection and Notice of Redemption. If the Company redeems less than all the Notes at any time, the Notes shall
be selected to be redeemed as follows:


 


(a)          if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such national securities
exchange; or


 


(b)          if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis (or, if the Notes are Global Notes, by lot),


 




    14 


    


    

in each case,
for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures.


 


The Company
shall redeem Notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part. The Company shall cause notices of redemption to be delivered at

(d)          an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company
with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment

    17 


    


    

Company or
a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or (C) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.


 


The foregoing
will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary
or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body.


 


A Default
under clauses (b) or (c) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified
after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a
“Notice of Default”.


 


The Company
shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate

25% in principal amount of the Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid
interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable
immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d) or Section 5.01(e) hereof with respect to the Company occurs,
the principal of and interest on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by notice to
the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree,
if all amounts owed to the Trustee in connection with such Event of Default have been paid and if all existing Events of Default
have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.


 


SECTION 5.03.       
Remaining Provisions. Other than as provided in Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof, the provisions of Article
6 of the Original Indenture shall govern with respect to Defaults and related remedies.

INC.


 


3.550% Senior
Note due 2027


 


This Note is one of a duly authorized
issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of June
1, 1995 (herein called the “Original Indenture”) by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.)), herein called the “Trustee”,
as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 2, 2017 (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture”
and the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) by and between
the Company and the Trustee, 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 Notes and of the terms upon which
the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal
amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.


 


The Company may redeem the Notes
in whole or in part, at any time (a) prior to March 2, 2027 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, or (ii) the sum of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes being redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest
accrued as of the date fixed for redemption), discounted to its present value as of the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Supplemental
Indenture), as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture), plus 20 basis points, plus accrued
and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date fixed for redemption, or (b) on or after March 2, 2027,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date
fixed for redemption.


 


The Company shall redeem the
Notes, in whole but not in part, at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”)
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount thereof
to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), if the AdvancePierre Acquisition has not occurred
on or prior to December 25, 2017, or if, prior to such date, the Merger Agreement is terminated (each, a “Special Mandatory
Redemption Event”), in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Supplemental Indenture.


 


If a Change of Control Triggering
Event (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities,
Holders of the Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Securities pursuant
to the offer described in the Supplemental Indenture at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant Interest
Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.


 




    A-5 


    


    

Subject to certain conditions,
the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate certain of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company
deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption
or maturity, as the case may be.


 


Subject to certain exceptions
set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes and (b) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived
with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions
set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture
or the Notes to: cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; comply with Section 4.02 of the Supplemental Indenture;
add guarantees with respect to the Notes or secure the Notes; add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers conferred
on the Company; comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Act; make any change
that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; provide for the issuance of Additional Notes; evidence and provide for
the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee; conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any
provision under the heading “Description of the Notes” in the Prospectus Supplement; or make amendments to provisions
of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of the Notes.


 


Under the Indenture, Events of
Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Notes; (b) default in payment of principal on the Notes
at maturity, upon optional redemption of the Notes, upon acceleration or otherwise, or failure by the Company to redeem or purchase
Notes when required; (c) failure by the Company to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes, in certain cases
subject to notice and lapse of time; and (d) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company and the Significant
Subsidiaries. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events
of Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.


 


Holders may not enforce the Indenture
or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives
indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default
(except a Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines in good faith that withholding notice
is not opposed to the interests of the Holders.


 


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

and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of this Note for registration of

his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes 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.

registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Notes 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
Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name the Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company,
