 REVERSE OF NOTE 

This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series
specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered. To the
extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the
Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with
the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of each series 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 and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. 

Registrar and Paying Agent 
 The Company
shall maintain in the continental United States, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially
appointed the Trustee, U.S. Bank National Association, as its Security registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security registrar, to appoint additional or
other Paying Agents or other Security registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security registrar acts. 

Optional Redemption of the Notes 
 The
Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option, at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of: 

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and 

(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments for principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of
interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date) discounted to the applicable Redemption Date 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 of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the applicable
Redemption Date. 
 Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of
Section 14.02 of the Base Indenture. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that
notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.

 Additional Issues

additional Notes will rank equally in right of payment with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest
accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for, will constitute a single series of
Securities under the Indenture. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a supplement to the Indenture. 
 Transfer and Exchange 

The transfer of the Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. 

Sinking Fund

 Miscellaneous 

The registered holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

Unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, any moneys deposited with the Trustee or
any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due, shall be repaid to the
Company by the Trustee or by such Paying Agent on demand; or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. After that time, the holder of this Note shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat
or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Company for any payment to which such holder may be entitled to collect. 

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 any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust
funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain
exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes. 

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and stated maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in the continental United States, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the
date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee, any

notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the
Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Security registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 This Note shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the internal law of the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.
