 4 













 
aggregate principal amount to $325,000,000, and (ii) the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $350,000,000. The 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes issued

Notes pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture. In addition, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, additional Notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes of either series
issued on the date hereof in all respects (except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional Notes), so that such additional Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the applicable series of
Notes issued on the date hereof and shall be governed by the terms of the Indenture. 
 SECTION
2.02.    Maturity. The principal amount of the 2029 Notes shall be due and payable on October 1, 2029. The principal amount of the 2031 Notes shall be due and payable on October 1, 2031.

substantially the form set forth on Exhibit A (in the case of the 2029 Notes) and Exhibit B (in the case of the 2031 Notes) hereto and shall have the terms set forth in such form and shall initially be Global Securities for purposes of the Base

ARTICLE III 
 ADDITIONAL
COVENANTS 
 In addition to the covenants set forth in Article X of the Base Indenture, the Company also covenants and agrees for the
benefit of Notes, but not Securities of any other series, as follows: 
 SECTION 3.01.    Limitations on
Liens. The Company shall not, and will not permit any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to issue, assume or guarantee any Debt if that Debt is secured by any Lien upon any Principal Property (or portion thereof) of the
Company or of any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company or any shares of stock or Debt of any Domestic Subsidiary, whether owned on September 14, 2021 or thereafter acquired, without effectively securing the Notes equally and ratably with that Debt, so
long as such Debt is so secured. The foregoing restriction does not apply to: 
 (i)    Liens on any
property acquired, constructed or improved by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company after September 14, 2021, which are created or assumed contemporaneously with or within three years after its acquisition, or completion of
construction or improvement (or within six months thereafter pursuant to a firm commitment for financing arrangements entered into within that three-year period) to secure or provide for the payment of the Purchase Price or cost thereof, or Liens
existing on any property at the time of its acquisition; 
 (ii)    Liens existing on any property,
shares of stock or indebtedness acquired from a Person merged with or into the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company after September 14, 2021; 

(iii)    with respect to any corporation that becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company after
September 14, 2021, Liens on property of, or shares of stock or indebtedness issued by, any such corporation existing at the time it becomes a Domestic Subsidiary and not incurred in connection with or in anticipation of such corporation
becoming a Domestic Subsidiary; 
 (iv)    Liens to secure Debt of a Domestic Subsidiary owed to the
Company or Debt of one of the Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company owed to another Domestic Subsidiary of the Company; 

(v)    Liens in favor of governmental bodies to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments
pursuant to any contract or statute; 

  
 6 













 (vi)    any Lien existing on September 14, 2021; or

 (vii)    Liens for the sole purpose of extending, renewing or replacing Debt, in whole or in part,
secured by any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (vi), inclusive; provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured by that Lien shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of
such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to the property that secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property). 

The limitation on Liens described in this Section 3.01 shall not apply to the issuance, assumption or guarantee by the Company or any
Domestic Subsidiary of the Company of Debt secured by a Lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions up to an aggregate amount which, together with all other Debt of the Company and of the Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company
secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under the foregoing exceptions) and the Attributable Debt with respect to Sale and Leaseback Transactions existing at that time (other than Sale and Leaseback Transactions in which the property
involved would have been permitted to be subject to a Lien under clause (i) above), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 

SECTION 3.02.    Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company and the Domestic
Subsidiaries of the Company are prohibited from entering into Sale and Leaseback Transactions unless: 

(i)    the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary of the Company would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a
Lien on the Principal Property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Notes, pursuant to clauses (i) - (vii) under Section 3.01 above; or the Attributable Debt with respect thereto would be an amount permitted under the last
paragraph of Section 3.01 above; or 
 (ii)    the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary of the
Company shall, within 180 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, apply an amount equal to the proceeds from such Sale and Leaseback Transaction to the payment or other retirement of Debt that ranks senior to or equal with the Notes
(other than, in either case, Debt owed by the Company or any Subsidiary), or to the purchase of other Principal Property. 
 SECTION
3.03.    Limitations on Guarantees. The Company and the Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company are prohibited from entering into any agreement pursuant to which any such Domestic Subsidiary of the Company
guarantees the payment of Debt incurred by the Company without providing that the Notes be equally and ratably guaranteed by such Domestic Subsidiary of the Company. 

ARTICLE IV

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means,
with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Company for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or, if the Company is

“Disqualified Stock” means, for any series of the Notes, with respect to any Person, any capital stock of such Person which, by its
terms, or by the terms of any security into which it is convertible or for which it is putable or exchangeable, or upon the happening of any event, matures or is mandatorily redeemable, other than as a result of a change of control or asset sale,
pursuant to a sinking fund obligation or otherwise, or is redeemable at the option of the holder thereof, other than as a result of a change of control or asset sale, in whole or in part, in each case prior to the date 91 days after the earlier of
the maturity date of the Notes of such series or the date the Notes of such series are no longer outstanding; provided that if such capital stock is issued pursuant to any plan for the benefit of employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries
or by any such plan to such employees, such capital stock shall not constitute Disqualified Stock solely because it may be required to be repurchased by the Company or its Subsidiaries in order to satisfy applicable statutory or regulatory
obligations. 
 “Equity Offering” means any public or private sale of common shares or preferred shares of the Company (excluding
Disqualified Stock), other than (a) public offerings with respect to the Company’s common shares registered on Form S-8 and (b) any sales to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC or Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors, as selected by the Company or, if such firms are unwilling or unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue or the applicable ratings scale for any
Substitute Rating Agency, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company. 
 “Reference
Treasury Dealer” means BofA Securities, Inc. and its successors, and three other independent investment banking institutions of national standing appointed by the Company (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”); provided,
however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date for the Notes
to be redeemed, the average, as determined by 

  
 10 













 
the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker
by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for
the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) – H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable
Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be
interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounded to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such
yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

SECTION 4.02.    Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control
Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes for any series as described under Section 4.01 above, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes of such series to repurchase
all or any part (in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price (the “Purchase Price”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to
any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail or send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the
Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the payment date specified in the notice (the “Repurchase Date”), which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed or sent. The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment
date specified in the notice. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under 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 as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase
Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will 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 Event provisions of the Notes by
virtue of such conflict. 

  
 11 













 On the Repurchase Date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will, to
the extent lawful: 
 (i)    accept for payment all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered
pursuant to the Company’s offer; 
 (ii)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the
aggregate Purchase Price in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and 

(iii)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an
Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly
deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered, the Purchase Price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered. 
 The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of
Control Repurchase 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 such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn
under its offer. 
 For purposes hereof, the following definitions are applicable: 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following: 

(i)    the direct or indirect sale, lease, 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 assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) other than to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; 

(ii)    the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation)
the result of which is that any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) 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 outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; 

(iii)    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 outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than
any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after
giving effect to such transaction; or 

  
 12 













 (iv)    the adoption of a plan relating to the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of
Control and a Ratings Event. 
 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent
under any successor Rating Categories of Moody’s), a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor Rating Categories of S&P) and the equivalent Investment Grade credit
rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc., and its successors. 
 “Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P and
(2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes of a series or fails to make a rating of the Notes of a series publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Company, a Substitute Rating Agency thereof. 

“Rating Category” means (i) with respect to S&P, any of the following categories: BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or
equivalent successor categories); (ii) with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: Baa, Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); and (iii) the equivalent of any such category of S&P or Moody’s
used by another Rating Agency. In determining whether the rating of any Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and - for S&P; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for another
Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation). 

“Rating Date” means the date that is 60 days prior to the earlier of (i) a Change of Control or (ii) public notice
of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control. 
 “Ratings
Event” means, for any series of the Notes, the occurrence of the events described in (a) or (b) of this definition on, or within 60 days after the earlier of, (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of
the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes of such series is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade
by any of the Rating Agencies): (a) if the Notes of such series are rated by both Rating Agencies on the Rating Date as Investment Grade, the rating of such Notes shall be reduced so that the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating
Agencies or (b) if the Notes of such series are rated below Investment Grade by at least one Rating Agency, the ratings of such Notes by both Rating Agencies shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating
Categories, as well as between Rating Categories) and the Notes are then rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies. 

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors. 

  
 13 













 “Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. 

ARTICLE V 
 EVENTS OF
DEFAULT 
 In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 501 of the Base Indenture, the Notes, but not Securities of
any other series, shall also be subject to the following Events of Default: 
 (i)    a failure by the
Company to repurchase Notes tendered for repurchase following the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event in conformity with Section 4.02 above; and 

(ii)    a failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any Debt, within any applicable grace
period after final maturity or the acceleration by the holders thereof, if the total amount of such Debt unpaid or accelerated exceeds $125,000,000. 

ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION
6.01.    Ratification of Base Indenture. The Base Indenture, as heretofore supplemented and as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this Supplemental
Indenture shall be deemed part of the Base Indenture in the manner and to the extent herein and therein provided. 
 SECTION
6.02.    Trust Indenture Act Controls. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Section 310 through 317 of the Trust Indenture Act, the imposed duties shall control.

 SECTION 6.03.    Conflict with Indenture. To the extent not expressly amended or modified by
this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture, as heretofore supplemented, shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture relating to the Notes is inconsistent with any provision of the Base Indenture, as
heretofore supplemented, the provision of this Supplemental Indenture shall control. 
 SECTION
6.04.    Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 6.05.    Successors. All agreements of the Company in the Base Indenture, this Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. 
 SECTION 6.06.    Counterparts. This
instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such 

  
 14 













 
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. This Supplemental Indenture shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an
authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature; or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures

party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate,
confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and
the same instrument. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings. 

SECTION 6.07.    Trustee Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to and shall not be
responsible for the validity or adequacy of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The recitals and statements herein and in the Notes are deemed to be those of the Company and not the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use by the Company of the proceeds of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether any Change of Control has occurred and whether any Change of Control offer with
respect to the Notes is required. The Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the Company’s rating status, making any request upon any Rating Agency, or determining whether any Ratings Event has occurred.

 Reverse of Security 

ALLEGHENY TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED 

4.875% Senior Note due 2029 
  

	1.	 Principal and Interest. 



The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on October 1, 2029. 

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth on the face of this
Note, at the rate of 4.875% per annum. 
 Interest will be payable semiannually (to the Holders of record of the Notes at the close of
business on each Regular Record Date, as set forth on the face of this Note, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing April 1, 2022. 

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note (or, if there is no existing default
in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date and the next Interest Payment Date, from such Interest Payment Date) or, if no interest has been paid, from September 14, 2021. Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  

	2.	 Indenture. 



This Global Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued under the
Indenture, dated as of September 14, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
September 14, 2021 (the “Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture
unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control. 

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to
$325,000,000 but additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class. 

 

	3.	 Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 



This Note is subject to redemption by the Company at any time, as further described in the Indenture. This Note is subject to repurchase by the
Company at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture). There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note. 












 If the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Securities sufficient to
pay the then Outstanding principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, the Company may in certain circumstances be discharged from the Indenture and the Notes or may be discharged from certain of its
obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture. 
  

	4.	 Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 



The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A
Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Company or Security Registrar may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law
or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Company will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note. 

 

	5.	 Defaults and Remedies. 



If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy defaults), as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If certain bankruptcy defaults with respect to the Company occur and are continuing, the Notes automatically become due and
payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies. 
  

	6.	 Amendment and Waiver. 



Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency. 
  

	7.	 Authentication. 



This Note is not valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 

 

	8.	 Abbreviations. 



Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian) and U/G/M/A/ (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 












 The Company will furnish a copy of the Indenture to any Holder upon written request and without charge.

The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on October 1, 2031. 

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth on the face of this

	2.	 Indenture. 



This Global Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued under the
Indenture, dated as of September 14, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
September 14, 2021 (the “Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture
unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control. 

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to
$350,000,000 but additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class. 

 

	3.	 Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 



This Note is subject to redemption by the Company at any time, as further described in the Indenture. This Note is subject to repurchase by the
Company at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture). There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note. 












 If the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Securities sufficient to
pay the then Outstanding principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, the Company may in certain circumstances be discharged from the Indenture and the Notes or may be discharged from certain of its
obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture. 
  

	4.	 Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 



The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A
Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Company or Security Registrar may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law
or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Company will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note. 

 

	5.	 Defaults and Remedies. 



If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy defaults), as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If certain bankruptcy defaults with respect to the Company occur and are continuing, the Notes automatically become due and
payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies. 
  

	6.	 Amendment and Waiver. 



Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency. 
  

	7.	 Authentication. 



This Note is not valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 

 

	8.	 Abbreviations. 



Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian) and U/G/M/A/ (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
