“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury

the amount thereof is to be determined, the total net amount of rent required to be paid by such Person under such lease during the remaining term thereof (after giving effect to any extensions at the option of the lessee), discounted from the
respective due dates thereof to such date at the average rate per annum borne by the Notes for the preceding 365 days. The net amount of rent required to be paid under any such lease for any such period shall be the amount of the rent payable by the
lessee with respect to such period, after excluding amounts required to be paid on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water and utility rates and similar charges. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the
lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated.

announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following the consummation of such Change of Control (which period shall be extended if the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced

below Investment Grade or (y) publicly announces that it is no longer considering the Notes for possible downgrade; provided, that a rating event shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus
shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if each Rating Agency making the reduction in rating does not publicly announce or 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 Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of

the Registrar that its request for such exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note). 

(5) After a transfer of any Note during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the
Note, all requirements pertaining to the Restricted Notes Legend on the Notes shall cease to apply and the requirements that any the Notes be issued in global form shall continue to apply. 

(6) Upon the consummation of an Exchange Offer with respect to the Issue Date Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to which
Holders of such Issue Date Notes or Additional Notes are offered Exchange Notes in exchange for their Issue Date Notes or Additional Notes, all requirements pertaining to Issue Date Notes or Additional Notes that Issue Date Notes or Additional Notes
be issued in global form shall continue to apply, and Exchange Notes in global form without the Restricted Notes Legend shall be available to Holders that exchange such Issue Date Notes or Additional Notes in such Exchange Offer. 

(7) Upon a sale or transfer after the expiration of the Restricted Period of any Note acquired pursuant to Regulation S, all
requirements that the Note bear the Restricted Notes Legend shall cease to apply and the requirements requiring any Note be issued in global form shall continue to apply. 

(8) Any Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 

(f) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged
for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global
Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Note
Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 
 (g) No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Notes, but the Company may require payment by the relevant Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith. 
 (h) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of notice of redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of 

  
 19 








 
business on such day, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part
or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

Section 2.06. Definitive Notes. 

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian or issued in connection with an Exchange Offer shall be
transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.05
and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and, in
either case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such event, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in a Company Order that the Notes
should no longer be represented by Global Notes, and it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under this Indenture or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be surrendered by the
Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of
Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 thereof and registered in
such names as the Depositary shall direct. Any certificated Issue Date Note in the form of a Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.05(e), bear the Restricted
Notes Legend. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

(d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.06(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Company shall promptly
make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons. 

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company or if a Holder claims
that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Every replacement
Note is an additional obligation of the Company and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. An indemnity must be furnished by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company and the Trustee
from any 

  
 20 








 
loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note. Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 

(a) Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for: 

(i) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation; 

(ii) any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.05 unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive
proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a valid obligation of the Company; and (iii) on or after the maturity date or any Redemption Date, those Notes payable or to be
redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds in trust money sufficient to pay all amounts then due; provided that if such Notes, or portions thereof, are to
be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall have been given as herein provided, or provisions satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for giving such notice; and (iv) solely to the extent provided in
Article VIII, Notes which are subject to legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as provided in Section 8.02 or Section 8.03. 

(b) A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining
whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only
Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. 
 (c) In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned beneficially by the Company or any other obligor on the
Notes with respect to which such determination is being made or any Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect control with the Company or any other obligor on the Notes with respect to which such
determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be 

  
 21 








 
protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notes so owned by the Company which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for such purpose if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such
Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer. 
 Section 2.09. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are
to be issued under this Indenture, until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon a Company Order. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes
but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution and authentication of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued,
the Company shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or
agency of the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as Definitive Notes. 

Section 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder that the Company has not issued and sold. Any Registrar
or the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its
normal procedures or a Company Order. The Trustee shall deliver certification of all cancelled Notes to the Company and shall return cancelled Notes to the Company upon written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has
paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of indebtedness represented by such Notes unless or until the same are delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.11. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use
“CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, and the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders. Any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and reliance may be placed only on the identification number printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect
or omission in such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. 

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any)
on the Notes, such installment of interest shall 

  
 22 








 
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Regular Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted interest (including any
interest on such defaulted interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below. 
 (a)
The Company may elect to make payment of any defaulted interest (including any interest on such defaulted interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such
defaulted interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed payment.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest, which shall not be more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10
calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
payments of such defaulted interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the registration books of the Registrar, at least 15 calendar days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 
 (b)
Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any defaulted interest (including any interest on such defaulted interest) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Section 2.13. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. 
 Section 2.14. Issuance of Additional Notes. After the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled,
without the notice or consent of Holders, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which Notes shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, original interest
accrual date and original interest payment date, and such Additional Notes may not have the benefit of registration rights. All the Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class and consolidated and form a single series with
the Issue Date Notes for all purposes of this Indenture including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Such Additional Notes shall be issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a “qualified reopening” or with no
more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount. 

  
 23 








 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of
Directors and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (a) the
aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (b) the issue price,
the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes and whether such Additional Notes have the benefit of registration rights; and 

(c) whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes and issued in the form of Issue Date Notes or shall be issued in the form of
Exchange Notes. 
 ARTICLE III 

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION OF NOTES 

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption. Prior to June 1, 2024, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole
at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (2) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of those payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) from the Redemption Date to the maturity date of the Notes being redeemed, in
each case, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but
excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 At any time on or after June 1, 2024, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in
part at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption. The notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall include or
state the following: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the redemption price fixed in accordance with the terms of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Price”); 
 (3) the place or places where Notes are to be
surrendered to the Paying Agent for redemption; 
 (4) that Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered to the Paying
Agent in order to collect the Redemption Price; 
 (5) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due
and payable on Notes called for redemption, and, unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest on Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 

  
 24 








 (6) if less than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification
(and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed, which shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, selected based on the Applicable Procedures) by any
other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; and 
 (7) if any Note contains a CUSIP or ISIN number, no
representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or ISIN number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

 Section 3.03. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for
redemption become due and payable at the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Company shall redeem such Notes at the Redemption Price. Commencing on the Redemption Date, Notes redeemed
shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder shall receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note. 

Section 3.04. Exclusion of Certain Notes From Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Notes shall be excluded from
eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as
being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct
or indirect common control with the Company. 
 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. on any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to the Board Resolutions or in the supplemental indenture executed in connection with the Notes) any accrued
interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 

ARTICLE IV 

COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Notes
that it shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this
Indenture. Each installment of interest on any Note may at the Company’s option be paid by mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.03, to the
address of such Person as it appears on the Register or by wire transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto as such account shall be provided to the 

  
 25 








 
Registrar and shall appear on the Register. At the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by official bank check to the Holder of the Note or other Person entitled thereto
against surrender of such Note. 
 Section 4.02. Offices for Payments, Etc. The Company shall maintain an agency where
the Notes may be presented for payment, an agency where the Notes may be presented for exchange as is provided in this Indenture and, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.03 an agency where the Notes may be presented for registration of
transfer as is provided in this Indenture, which, in each case, initially shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Company
shall give to the Trustee written notice of the location of each such agency and of any change of location thereof. The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as its agency for each of said purposes. 

The Company may from time to time designate one or more additional agencies where the Notes may be presented for payment, where the Notes may
be presented for exchange as provided in this Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.03 and where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer as provided in this Indenture, and the Company may from time to time rescind any such
designation, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain the agency provided for in the first paragraph of
this Section 4.02. The Company shall give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof. 

Section 4.03. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a
vacancy in the office of Trustee, shall appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.08, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Notes hereunder. 

Section 4.04. Paying Agents. Whenever the Company shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the
Notes, it shall cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, 

(a) that it shall hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes in trust for the
benefit of the Holders of the Notes or of the Trustee; 
 (b) that it shall give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company to make
any payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and 
 (c) that at any time during the
continuance of any such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee it shall forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent. 

  
 26 








 The Company shall, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Notes, deposit
with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. 

If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the Notes, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of or
interest on the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such
action. 
 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining satisfaction
and discharge of the Notes, or for any other reason, pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held
by the Company or such Paying Agent. 
 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as
provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 8.05. 
 Section 4.05. Written Statement to
Trustee. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee on or before May 15 in each year (beginning with May 15, 2015) a written statement, signed by the principal executive, principal financial or principal accounting officer to the Company
(which need not comply with Section 10.05), stating that in the course of the performance of such Officer’s duties as an Officer of the Company, such Officer would normally have knowledge of any default by the Company in the
performance or fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace, stating whether or not such Officer has knowledge of any such default and, if so, specifying
each such default of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible
and in any event within five days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting
forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 4.06. Reports by the Company. The Company shall file with the Trustee such information, documents
and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act; provided that any such information, documents or reports required to
be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the filing of the same with the Commission. The Company, however, shall not be required to file with the
Trustee any materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment by the Commission and, so long as such information, documents and other reports by the Company are available on the Commission’s Electronic Data


  
 27 








 
Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR) or any successor system thereto, such filings shall be deemed to have been filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06 without
any further action required by the Company. Delivery of such information, documents and other reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or
notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s
Certificates). 
 Section 4.07. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company shall not itself, and shall not permit any Domestic
Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness (“Debt”), secured by a mortgage or other encumbrance (a
“Mortgage”) on any Principal Manufacturing Property of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or Debt of any Domestic Subsidiary which owns a Principal Manufacturing Property, without effectively providing that the
Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt, so long as such secured Debt shall be so secured; provided, however, that this Section shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from secured Debt in any
computation under this Section, Debt secured by: 
 (1) Mortgages of the Company or its Domestic Subsidiaries existing at the
time of this Indenture; 
 (2) Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock of, any corporation existing at the time
such corporation becomes a Domestic Subsidiary; 
 (3) Mortgages on property or shares of stock of a Domestic Subsidiary
existing at the time of acquisition thereof (including acquisitions through merger or consolidation) or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or construction cost thereof or to secure any Debt incurred prior to, at the time
of, or within 180 days after, the acquisition of such property or shares or the completion of any such construction and commencement of full operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or
construction cost thereof; 
 (4) Mortgages in favor of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary; 

(5) Mortgages in favor of the United States of America, any State of the United States of America, or any subdivision, agency,
department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or provision of any statute; and 

(6) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any
Debt secured by any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (5), inclusive; provided that (i) such extension, renewal or replacement Mortgage shall be limited to all or a part of the same property or shares of stock
that secured the Mortgage extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property) and (ii) the Debt secured by such Mortgage at such time is not increased. 

  
 28 








 (b) Notwithstanding the limitations on liens described in Section 4.07(a), the
Company or any Domestic Subsidiary may incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Debt secured by a Mortgage on any Principal Manufacturing Property of the Company or its Domestic Subsidiaries or any shares of stock or Debt of any Domestic Subsidiary
which owns a Principal Manufacturing Property, in addition to that permitted above and without any obligation to secure the Notes, provided that at the time of such incurrences, issuance, assumption or guarantee of such Debt, and after giving
effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

Section 4.08. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback. (a) The Company shall not itself, and it shall not permit any Domestic
Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (not including the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary) or to which any such lender or investor is a party, providing for the leasing by the
Company or such Subsidiary for a period, including renewals, in excess of three years of any Principal Manufacturing Property of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary which has been or is to be sold or transferred, more than 180 days after the
later of (i) the acquisition thereof, (ii) the completion of construction thereof or (iii) the commencement of full operation thereof, by the Company or any such Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any Person to whom funds
have been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of such Principal Manufacturing Property (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) unless either: 

(1) the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary could create Debt secured by a Mortgage pursuant to Section 4.07 on the
Principal Manufacturing Property to be leased back in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes, or 

(2) the Company within 180 days after the sale or transfer shall have been made by the Company or by any such Subsidiary,
applies an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal Manufacturing Property sold and leased back pursuant to such arrangement or (ii) the fair market value of the Principal Manufacturing Property so
sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement (as determined by any two of the following: the Chairman, President, any Vice President, Treasurer and Controller of the Company) to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or
any Domestic Subsidiary; provided that the amount to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary shall be reduced by (a) the principal amount of any Notes delivered within 180 days after such
sale to the Trustee for retirement and cancellation, and (b) the principal amount of Funded Debt, other than Notes, voluntarily retired by the Company within 180 days after such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no retirement referred to in
this clause may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory prepayment provision. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions
of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.08, the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction in 

  
 29 








 
addition to that permitted by paragraph (a) of this Section 4.08 and without any obligation to retire any Notes or other indebtedness referred to in paragraph (a) of this
Section 4.08, provided that at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.09. Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering
Event. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the
Notes as described in Section 3.01, the Company shall be required to offer to purchase from each Holder of the Notes all or a portion (equal to $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant
to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of the
Holders of the Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option,
prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall be required to send, by first class mail (or to the extent permitted or required by the Applicable Procedures, send electronically),
a notice to each Holder of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days and no later
than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent electronically, as applicable, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed or sent electronically, as applicable, prior to the
date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes (or portions of Notes) properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate payment in respect of all Notes (or
portions of Notes) properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and 
 (3) deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted for purchase, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions of Notes) being purchased. 

(c) The Paying Agent shall promptly remit to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee shall
promptly authenticate and deliver (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; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount
equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 30 








 (d) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes
such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 

(e) The Company shall 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 purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations
conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of
the Notes by virtue of such conflict. 
 ARTICLE V 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE 

Section 5.01. Company May Consolidate, Merge, Etc., on Certain Terms. The Company covenants that it shall not merge or
consolidate with any other Person or sell or convey (including by way of lease) all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless (i) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation or the Person
which acquires by sale or conveyance substantially all the assets of the Company (if other than the Company) shall be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust organized under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Notes, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company, by supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation or Person, and (ii) the Company or such successor Person,
as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance, be in Default in the performance of any such covenant or condition. 

Section 5.02. Successor Company Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and following
such an assumption by the successor Person, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein. Such successor Person may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own
name or in the name of the Company prior to such succession any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder, which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person instead of
the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Notes, which previously shall have been signed and delivered by an Officer of the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, and any Notes, which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank


  
 31 








 
and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the
execution hereof. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in
substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 In the event of any such sale or conveyance (other
than a conveyance by way of lease), the Company or any successor Person which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes and
may be liquidated and dissolved. 
 Section 5.03. Opinion of Counsel to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, may receive an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 10.05, as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such
assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution, complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE VI

 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event Of Default” occurs with respect to the Notes if: 

(1) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, on any Note when the same becomes due and payable
at maturity, upon acceleration, declaration or redemption, or otherwise; 
 (2) the Company defaults in the payment of
interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days; 

(3) the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or agreement of the Company contained in the
Notes or in this Indenture and the default or breach continues for a period of 90 consecutive days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes; 
 (4) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against 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 of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case
or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or an order for relief is entered against the Company under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect; 

  
 32 








 (5) the Company (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors (an event
of default specified in clause (4) or (5) a “Bankruptcy Default”); or 
 (6) the Company or a Domestic
Subsidiary defaults on any Debt in excess of $100,000,000 principal amount that results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its Stated Maturity, if such Debt is not discharged, or such acceleration is not annulled, by the end of a period of 30
days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, other than a Bankruptcy Default with respect to the Company, occurs and is continuing
under the Indenture, unless the principal of all the Notes have already become due and payable, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the
Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes to be immediately due and
payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest shall become immediately due and payable. If a Bankruptcy Default occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of, premium, if any and accrued interest on all Notes then
outstanding shall, unless the principal of all the Notes have already become due and payable, become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if: 
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 

(i) all overdue interest on all the Notes; 

(ii) the principal of any of the Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest
thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes; and (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful and applicable, interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Notes; and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of, and
interest on, such Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived or otherwise remedied in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

  
 33 








 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs, has not been
waived, and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any and
interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of
them in the proceeding. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 6.02, Section 6.07 and Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Trustee, waive an existing Default and its consequences. Upon
such waiver, the Default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and each of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any such direction that conflicts with law or
this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the Notes not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other
action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may
not pursue any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or any other remedy under the Indenture or the Notes, unless: 

(1) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes in respect of which the Event of Default
has occurred have made written request to the Trustee to pursue a remedy in respect of the Event of Default; 
 (3) such
Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to pursue any such
remedy; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request. 

  
 34 








 The foregoing limitations do not apply to any proceeding instituted by a Holder with respect to a
Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Notes. 
 No Holder of
Notes may use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of Notes or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Notes. 

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the right of any
Holder to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on its Note on or after the Stated Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by
Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, upon the demand of the Trustee, the Company shall pay to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of any Notes the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) remaining unpaid on the Notes then outstanding, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent lawful, overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. If the Company fails to pay such amount upon demand by the Trustee, the Trustee shall be empowered to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust the sums so due and payable. 
 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee
may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or its respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any
money, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in the Indenture shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

  
 35 








 Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money with respect to
the Notes pursuant to this Article or, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the payment of costs and expenses applicable the Notes in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable
compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07; 

Second: in case the principal of the Notes in respect of which monies have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable,
to the payment of interest on the Notes in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the
same rate as the rate of interest specified in such Notes, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; 

Third: in case the principal of the Notes in respect of which monies have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable,
to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
interest at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Notes; and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal and interest, without
preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Notes over any other Notes, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued
and unpaid interest; and 
 Fourth: to the Company or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section.

 Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under the Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then, subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted. 
 Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it as Trustee, all parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder shall be 

  
 36 








 
deemed to have agreed, that a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a
suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note on the respective due dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

 Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement of lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes in Section 2.04, no right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and
remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy. 
 Section 6.14. Delay or
Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair the exercise of any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of
Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case
may be. 
 Section 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants, to the extent that it may
lawfully do so, that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from
paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the
performance of the Indenture. The Company hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as if no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE VII

 THE TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01. General. 

(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Whether or not
expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article. 

  
 37 








 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad
faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein). 

(c) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(d) No provision of the Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that 
 (1) this Subsection (d) shall not be construed to limit the
effect of Subsection (b) of this Section; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any series, determined as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes. 
 (e) In order to comply with
applicable tax laws, rules and regulations (inclusive of directives, guidelines and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”) that a foreign financial institution, issuer, trustee,
paying agent, holder or other institution is or has agreed to be subject to related to the Indenture or the Notes, the Company agrees (i) to provide to the Trustee sufficient information about holders or other applicable parties and/or
transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee can determine whether it has tax-related obligations under Applicable Law, (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction
from payments under the Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which 

  
 38 








 
the Trustee shall not have any liability, and (iii) to hold harmless the Trustee for any losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with such Applicable Law. The terms
of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 
 Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to
Trust Indenture Act Section 315(a) through (d): 
 (1) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in the case of any document which is
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of the Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The Trustee, in its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit. 

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel
conforming to Section 10.05, and the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the certificate or opinion. 

(3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any
agent appointed with due care. 
 (4) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested
in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Notes, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction. 
 (5) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 6.05 relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. 

(6) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(7) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

  
 39 








 (8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of
Default unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

(9) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its
rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(10) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of
Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However,
the Trustee is subject to the Trust Indenture Act Section 311. For purposes of the Trust Indenture Act Sections 311(b)(4) and (6): 

(a) “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after
delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and 
 (b)
“self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or
sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise
previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange,
acceptance or obligation. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no representation as to
the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of the Indenture or the Notes, (ii) is not accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (iii) is not responsible for any statement in the Notes other than
its certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Issuers’ compliance with or the breach
of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, or covenant, or agreement of any Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture. 

  
 40 








 Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default or Event of Default occurs
and is continuing with respect to the Notes, and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send notice of the uncured Default to each Holder of the Notes within 90 days after it occurs, unless the Default has been cured; provided that,
except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any such Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. Notice to Holders under this Section shall be given in the manner and to the extent
provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). Except in the case of an Event of Default resulting from nonpayment on any Note, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless an officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the first May 15
following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall transmit to each Holder such reports concerning, among other things, the Trustee and its action under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the time and in
compliance with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee also shall comply with Sections 313(b)(2) and 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. A copy of each such report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed with the
Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Company shall notify the Trustee if the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof. 

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

made by the Trustee while acting as Trustee under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ, except any such expense as may arise from
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

all loss or liability or expense or damage or claim (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than those based upon the income of the Trustee) incurred by it without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on
its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the

its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any
kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The obligations of the Company under this Section
shall not be subordinated to the payment of Senior Indebtedness and shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this
Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) on particular Notes.

payment of Senior Indebtedness and shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the termination for any reason of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on particular Notes. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 
 (d) Force Majeure. In
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation,
strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware)
services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Trustee by written notice to the Company and the Trustee. 
 (iii) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under
Section 7.10 or in the circumstances described in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any Holder that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 (b) If the Trustee has been
removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(c) Upon delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, (i) the
retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, (ii) the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under the Indenture. Upon request of any successor Trustee, the Company shall

Holders, and include in the notice its name and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

(e) The Trustee agrees to give the notices provided for in, and otherwise comply with, Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation or national banking association is otherwise eligible under the Indenture, be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in the Indenture. 

  
 43 








 Section 7.10. Eligibility. The Indenture must always have a Trustee that
satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and (b) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

Section 7.11. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it

(including Additional Interest, if any) on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, it shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government obligations held in
trust.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

3.875% Senior Notes due 2024 

THE TIMKEN COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Ohio (herein called the “Company”,
which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[        ] on
September 1, 2024, unless earlier redeemed as herein provided, and to pay interest thereon from August 20, 2014 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on
March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing March 1, 2015 at the rate of 3.875% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on each February 15 and September 15 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date, as applicable. All terms used in this Global Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

This Note is a Global Note representing the Company’s 3.875% Senior Notes due 2024 in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000
(herein called the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of August 20, 2014 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (herein called the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes represented hereby), to which Indenture and any indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made 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. The Notes are issuable only in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The amount of interest payable on any
Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will
be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date. 

Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder hereof on such Regular Record Date
and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such interest, to be fixed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, which shall be
set not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date set by the Company for payment of such Defaulted Interest and not less than 10 calendar days after receipt by the Trustee of notice from the Company of the
proposed payment of Defaulted Interest, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

  
 -8- 








 Payment of the principal of and any interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and in immediately available funds; provided, however,
that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Person entitled thereto as such account shall be provided to the Registrar and shall appear in the
Register and all payments of principal may be paid by official bank check to the Holder or other Person entitled thereto against surrender of such Note. 

Prior to June 1, 2024, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (2) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of those payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) from the redemption date to the maturity date of the Notes being redeemed, in each case, discounted to the date of
redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

 At any time on or after June 1, 2024, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part at any time and from time
to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

The Company will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the
Notes to be redeemed (or to the extent permitted or required by the Applicable Procedures, send electronically). If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis (or, in the
case of Global Notes, will be selected for redemption based on the Applicable Procedures) or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, and the identification of the particular Notes will be included in the notice to Holders. Unless
the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in
Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Company shall be required to offer to purchase from each Holder of the Notes all or a portion (equal to $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer described below at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the
relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

  
 -9- 








 Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or
at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by first class mail (or to the extent permitted or required by the Applicable
Procedures, send electronically), a notice to each Holder of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state the Change of Control Payment Date. The notice, if mailed
or sent electronically, as applicable, prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment
Date. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

accept for payment all Notes (or portions of Notes) properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer; 
 deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate payment in respect of all Notes (or portions
of Notes) properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and 
 deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted for purchase, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions of Notes) being purchased. 

The Paying Agent will promptly remit to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly
authenticate and deliver (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; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third
party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 

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 purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the
Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue
of such conflict. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, senior and unsecured and will rank
equal in right of payment to all other existing and future senior unsecured obligations of the Company. 

  
 -10- 








 The Notes are initially limited to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Indenture
provides that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders hereof, create and issue Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Notes of this series in all respects and so that such Additional Notes shall be consolidated and form a single
series having the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes initially issued. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, has occurred, and has not been cured or waived. Any Additional
Notes that are consolidated and form a single series with the Notes will be issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a “qualified reopening” or with no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount. 

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to, among other things, merge or consolidate with any other Person,
and requires that the Company comply with certain further covenants, all of which are applicable to this Note. All such covenants and limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must report
periodically to the Trustee on compliance with the covenants in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for the defeasance at
any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which
provisions apply to this Note. Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) failure to pay interest (including Additional Interest, if any) when due, if the failure continues for 30 days; (ii) failure to pay the principal or premium,
if any, when due; (iii) failure to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the Notes or the Indenture, if the failure continues for 90 days after the Company receives notice from the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company; and (v) default on any Debt by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary in excess of $100,000,000 principal amount
that results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its Stated Maturity, if such Debt is not discharged, or such acceleration is not annulled, by the end of a period of 30 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 
 If an Event of Default with
respect to this Global Note shall occur and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions therein provided, the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of, among other things, adding any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of
any supplemental indenture or of modifying the rights of the Holders of the Notes. 
 The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, on behalf of all of the Holders of all Notes, to waive a 

  
 -11- 








 
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) on any of the Notes or in respect of a covenant or other provision which, under the terms of the Indenture, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note. Any such consent or
waiver by the registered 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 in exchange for or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise),
irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of
the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such,
of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute 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 issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Global Note or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the amount of principal of and interest on this Global Note herein provided, and 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 Global Note is registrable in the Register, upon surrender of this Global Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Global Note are payable,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Global Note of this series
for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Trustee initially shall be the Registrar and the Paying Agent for the Notes. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer, 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 Global Note 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 Global Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Global Note be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 In the event that (i) the Depositary notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor depositary is
not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such event, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in a Company

amount of this Global Note at the time outstanding in exchange for this Global Note. 
 This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law of the State of New York. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by
manual signature, this Global Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
