 ARTICLE THREE 

Optional Redemption of the 2048 Notes 

Section 3.01.    Redemption. Except as described in Article III of the Original Indenture and this
Section 3.01, the 2048 Notes may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date; provided however, that, to the extent any provision of Article Three of this Supplemental Indenture is inconsistent with Article III of the Original Indenture, the
provisions of Article Three of this Supplemental Indenture shall supersede the provisions of Article III of the Original Indenture with respect to the 2048 Notes (but not any other series of Notes). Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall have
the right to redeem the 2048 Notes, at its option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 

(i)    100% of the principal amount of the 2048 Notes being redeemed; and 

(ii)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the
2048 Notes being redeemed that would be due if the 2048 Notes matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points; 

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2048 Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date. 

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the 2048 Notes, at its option, at any time in whole, or from time to
time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2048 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2048 Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2048 Notes that are due and payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on our
prior to a redemption date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. 

Notice of redemption to each Holder of 2048 Notes to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be given by the Trustee, in the manner provided
in Section 15.10 of the Original Indenture, no less than 10 or more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
not the Noteholder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice, or any defect in such notice, to the Holder of any 2048 Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other 2048 Note.

entire indebtedness of this Note and (ii) the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and this Note with respect to certain covenants and related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the
Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Note 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 a majority in aggregate principal amount of the securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, considered as one class. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate

herein provided. 
 This Note is issuable as a registered Note only, in the minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof. 
 As provided in the Indenture, this Note is transferable by the registered Holder hereof in person or by his attorney
duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose. Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or denominations, and in
the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. 
 The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent
and any Authenticating Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on this Note as herein provided and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Authenticating Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or member of the Board of Directors, as such, of the
Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, state or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof,
expressly waived and released. 
 This Note shall be governed by and deemed to be a contract made under, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof.
