 [Reverse of Security] 

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 an Indenture, dated as of November 21, 2017 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., 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 $500,000,000. 
 The Securities of this series are subject to redemption at any time, upon not less than
10 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior written notice by mail, as a whole or from time to time in part, at the election of the Company, on any date prior to their Stated Maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of
the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of the Securities to be redeemed, 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 (as defined below), plus 5 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, for any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity, computed by the Company as of the second Business Day immediately preceding that redemption date, 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 that redemption date. 
 “Comparable Treasury
Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the applicable Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the applicable Securities to be redeemed. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average, as determined by the Company, of the Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all of
such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their
respective successors, or if at any time any of the above is not a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, any other nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, as
well as three other nationally recognized investment banking firms selected by the Company that are primary U.S. Government securities dealers. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as
determined by the Company, 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 Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled
payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount of the next succeeding
scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date. 

  
 5 













 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 a Change of Control
Triggering Event (defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities in full, as described above, it will make an offer to each holder of the Securities (the “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase
any and all (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to
the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be required to mail a notice to holders of Securities describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date will 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 Securities and described in such notice. The Company will 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 Securities as a result of a
Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the Securities, the Company will be required to comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the Securities by virtue of such conflicts. 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to: 

 

	 	•	 	 accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer; 


  

	 	•	 	 deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or
portions of Securities properly tendered; and 


  

	 	•	 	 deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an Officer’s
Certificate stating the principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased. 


 “Below Investment Grade Rating
Event” means the Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could reasonably be expected to result in a Change of
Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the
rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided, however, that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating
will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control Triggering Event (and thus will not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the rating
agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any
event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 

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


  
 6 













 
that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation,
any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number
of shares of the Company’s voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors (as defined below); provided, however, that a transaction will not be
deemed to involve a Change of Control if the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and the 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. For purposes of this definition, “voting stock” means capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies,
entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of the Company, even if the right to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who (1) was a member of the
Board of Directors of the Company on the date of the issuance of the Securities; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to the Board of Directors of the Company with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members
of such Board of Directors of the Company at the time of such nomination or election (either by 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, without
objection to such nomination). 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Inc. 

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating by Moody’s (as defined below) equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent under a successor rating
category of Moody’s), a rating by S&P (as defined below) equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P) or a rating by Fitch equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent under any successor rating category of Fitch), or a rating by a replacement Rating Agency, if applicable, substantially equivalent to the foregoing ratings or higher. 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 

“Rating Agencies” means (1) Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; and (2) if any or all of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the
Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, or all
of them, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. 

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. 
 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 a majority in 

  
 7 













 
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and 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 not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have
made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding 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, 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 may be registered and this Security may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
any integral multiple thereof. 
 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 may 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 neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
