limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in the Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent
has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

 SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Company shall maintain an office or
agency where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Trustee shall initially
act as the Registrar and Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and
address of any agent not a party to the Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as the Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar. 
 (b) The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect
to the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.04. Maintenance of Office or Agency; Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Company shall
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. Such office shall initially be the office of the Trustee. 

(b) The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. While any
such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held
by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available
to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least 10 days before each interest payment date and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 

  
 18 








 SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form
without interest coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the
Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of the Indenture are satisfied. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the requirements of the Indenture are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Company or the Registrar may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant
to this Section 2.06. 
 (b) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to the provisions of the Notes with respect to
record dates) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(c) Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (x) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Notes for the period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending, or (y) to register the transfer of or
exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part. 

(d) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled
to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 SECTION 2.07. Additional Transfer
and Exchange Requirements. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (1) Certificated Notes shall be issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note or if it at any time ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, (y) the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all the Notes
represented by such Global Note or (z) upon an Event of Default or a Default has occurred and is continuing. In any such case, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order and an Officers’ Certificate,
authenticate and deliver Certificated Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange therefor. Certificated Notes issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be issued only
in registered form and only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and shall be registered in such names as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Certificated Notes to 

  
 19 








 
the persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. Such exchange shall be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. (2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Indenture other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.07(a)(1), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee
of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (b)
Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. In the event that Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(1), on or after such event when Certificated Notes are
presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request: (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Notes to a person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of Certificated Notes only; or (y) to exchange such Certificated Notes for
an equal principal amount of Certificated Notes of other authorized denominations, such Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements for such transaction under the Indenture are satisfied;
provided, however, that the Certificated Notes presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each in the form
included in Exhibit A and in a form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(c) Transfers of Certificated Notes for Beneficial Interest in Global Notes. In the event that Certificated Notes are issued in
exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes and, thereafter, the events or conditions specified in Section 2.07(a)(1), which required such exchange shall cease to exist, the Company shall send notice to the Trustee and to the Holders
stating that Holders may exchange Certificated Notes for interests in Global Notes by complying with the procedures set forth in the Indenture and briefly describing such procedures and the events or circumstances requiring that such notice be
given. Thereafter, if Certificated Notes are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request: (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Notes to a person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note; or (y) to exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of beneficial interests in a Global Note, which beneficial interests shall be owned by the Holder transferring such Certificated Notes, the Registrar shall
register the transfer or make the exchange as requested by canceling such Certificated Note and causing, or directing the Custodian to cause, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be increased accordingly and, if no such
Global Note is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Global Note; provided, however, that the Certificated Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be duly endorsed and accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each in the form included in Exhibit A and in a form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly
authorized in writing. 
 (d) Transfers to the Company. Nothing in the Indenture or in the Notes shall prohibit the sale or other
transfer of any Notes (including beneficial interests in Global Notes) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

  
 20 








 (e) No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, an Agent Member or other
Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Agent
Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders
under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only
through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners.

 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions
on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery
of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
express requirements hereof. 
 SECTION 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. (a) If any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
 (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 (c) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 (d)
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.08, 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. 

  
 21 








 (e) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 (f) The provisions of this Section 2.08 are
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 

SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Notes. (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for
those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. 

(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01,
it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

 (e) A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Note. 

SECTION 2.10. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 SECTION 2.11. Temporary
Notes. In the event Certificated Notes are to be issued under the terms of the Indenture, until certificates representing the Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate Certificated Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, temporary Notes shall have the same rights under the Indenture
as the Certificated Notes. 

  
 22 








 SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless the Company otherwise directs. The Company may
not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13. Defaulted
Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Holders of Notes on a
subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the special record date and payment date. At least 30 days before the special record date, the Company shall send to the Trustee and to each Holder a notice that states the special record date,
the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest and the amount of interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner. 

SECTION 2.14. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so,
the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that 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 a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. 
 SECTION 2.15. No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund shall be provided with respect to the Notes. 

SECTION 2.16. Issuance of Additional Notes. (a) After the date hereof, the Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes
under the Indenture, which Additional Notes shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance and the amount of the issue price. All the Notes issued under the Indenture shall be treated as a single
class for all purposes of the Indenture including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 
 (b) With respect to any
Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 

(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to the Indenture; and

 (ii) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; provided, however, that
no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to not be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with any other Notes issued under the Indenture, unless such Notes bear a separate CUSIP number. 

  
 23 








 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company desires to redeem all or part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall
notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee at least 30 but no more that 60 days before the redemption date. 

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. (a) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes to be
redeemed will be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. 
 (b) No Notes of $2,000 of principal amount or less shall
be redeemed in part. Notice of redemption shall be sent by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may be conditional
and, at the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied. 

(c) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal
amount of that Note to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note presented for redemption shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called
for redemption, subject to any condition included in such notice of redemption, become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall
send a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(i) the redemption date; 

(ii) the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, either (i) the manner of calculation thereof or (ii) the
redemption price calculated using the Treasury Rate as of the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is delivered; 

(iii) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after
the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

(iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

  
 24 








 (v) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price; 
 (vi) that, upon the satisfaction of any conditions to such redemption set forth in the
notice of redemption and unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(vii) the paragraph of the Notes or provision of the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being
redeemed; and 
 (viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed
in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice
shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such
notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date stated in such notice, or by the redemption date as so delayed. 

(b) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense;
provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before such notice is to be given (or such shorter period of time as the Trustee may agree), an Officers’ Certificate requesting
that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(a). 
 (c)
If the redemption price is not ascertainable on the date on which the notice of redemption is delivered, the Company shall send to the Trustee, at least one Business Day prior to the redemption date, notice of the redemption price. 

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03, the Notes called
for redemption, subject to any condition included in the applicable notice of redemption, become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may be conditional. 

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. (a) One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the
Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

(b) If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on
the Notes or the portions of the Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person


  
 25 








 
in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of
the Company to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of such Note surrendered. 

SECTION 3.07. Optional Redemption. (a) At the Company’s option, the Company may redeem the Notes at any time in whole or in
part. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes prior to August 1, 2021, the Company will pay a redemption price in respect of the Notes to be redeemed equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to
but excluding the redemption date: (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes being redeemed. In determining the present
values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes being redeemed, the Company will discount such payments to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to
the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points. 
 (b) If the Company elects to redeem the Notes on or after August 1, 2021, the Company will
pay a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date. 

(c) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06. 

ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Notes. (a) The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the Notes on the
dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal of and interest on the Notes shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m., New York Time, on the due
date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 

(b) The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the
rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post- petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

  
 26 








 SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. (a) The Company shall maintain in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time
the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee. 
 (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or
agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

(c) The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.03. 
 SECTION 4.03. Reports. (a) Whether or not required by the SEC’s rules and regulations, so long as any
Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file (or would be required to file assuming it were subject to such requirements and including any extensions thereof) such annual and
quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports with the SEC, copies of the Company’s annual report and of the information, documents and other reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company will also comply with the applicable provisions of Section 314(a) of the TIA. To the extent such filings are made with the SEC, the reports shall be deemed to be furnished to the Trustee and Holders. 

(b) In the event that the rules and regulations of the SEC permit the Company and any direct or indirect parent of the Company to report at
such parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis and such parent entity is not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the capital stock of the Company, consolidating
reporting at the parent entity’s level in a manner consistent with that described in this Section 4.03 for the Company will satisfy this Section 4.03, and the Company will satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.03 with
respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to such direct or indirect parent; provided that such financial information is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in
reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its
Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any


  
 27 








 
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 Officers’ Certificates). 
 SECTION 4.04. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company shall deliver to
the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding Fiscal Year has been made under the supervision of the
signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under the Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her
knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in the Indenture and is not in Default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture (or, if a
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or
her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the
Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver
to the Trustee, promptly after the occurrence thereof, notice of any event that constitutes or, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such
Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 4.05. Taxes.
The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to
effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The
Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any
time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not,
by resort to any such law, 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 though no such law has been enacted. 

SECTION 4.07. Liens. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur or assume any Lien
(other than Permitted Liens) on any of its or its Subsidiaries’ property or assets (which includes Capital Stock) securing Indebtedness without providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so
secured for so long as such obligations are so secured. 

  
 28 








 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
create, incur or assume Liens securing Indebtedness without equally and ratably securing the Notes if, after giving effect to the creation, incurrence or assumption of such Liens and related transactions, the aggregate amount (without duplication)
of the Indebtedness secured by Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on the property or assets (which includes Capital Stock) of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not exceed the Permitted Amount at the time of the creation, incurrence or
assumption of such Liens (it being understood that any outstanding Liens securing the GS V Notes shall be deemed to be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.07(b)). 

SECTION 4.08. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event. (a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with
respect to the Notes, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part, equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter, of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below
(the “Change of Control Offer”). The offer price in any Change of Control Offer shall be payable in cash and shall be 101% of the aggregate principal amount of any Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if
any (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event and subject to certain limitations described below, the Company shall send a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to
repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The Change of Control Payment Date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is sent, pursuant to
the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to
the extent lawful: 
 (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and 
 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of the Notes being purchased by the Company. 

(c) The Paying Agent shall promptly send to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such
Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail, or cause to be transferred by book entry, to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that the new Note
shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. Any Note so accepted for payment shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

  
 29 








 (d) The Change of Control provisions described in this Section 4.08 shall be applicable
whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable to any Change of Control Offer. If the provisions of any of the applicable securities laws or securities regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue of the compliance. 
 (e) The
Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in
the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering
Event, the Company shall not be obligated to make a Change of Control Offer in the event it has delivered a notice of redemption (which is or has become unconditional) with respect to all of the outstanding Notes as provided under Section 3.07.
A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event and conditioned upon such Change of Control Triggering Event if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Triggering Event at the time of
making the Change of Control Offer. The provisions under the Indenture relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified with the written
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of the Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the
Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and the predecessor Company, except in the case of a lease that meets the requirements of Section 5.01, shall be released from the obligation to
pay the principal of and interest on the Notes. 
 ARTICLE 6

(iii) failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions in Section 5.01 or failure by the

(iv) failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for 60 days (or 120 days in the case of a failure to comply with the

 31 








 (v) default under any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of
its Significant Subsidiaries, or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date hereof, which default: 

(1) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Indebtedness prior to the expiration of
the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of the default (a “Payment Default”); or 
 (2)
results in the acceleration of the Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, 
 and, in each case, the principal amount of any such
Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $250 million or more;

 32 








 (b) A Default under Section 6.01(a)(iv) shall not constitute an Event of Default until the
Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then-outstanding Notes may declare all Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from Section 6.01(a)(vii) or Section 6.01(a)(viii), with respect to the
Company, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or
the Indenture. 
 (b) 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. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.
All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default
or Event of Default in the payment of the interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then-outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in
its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

  
 33 








 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. (a) A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with
respect to the Indenture or the Notes only if: 
 (i) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default; 
 (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes make a
written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the
Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee does not comply
with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and 

(v) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes do not give the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 (b) A Holder of a Note may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another
Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive
Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including
in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or Section 6.01(a)(ii)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such 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
the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent 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 agents and counsel, and any other 

  
 34 








 
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money,
securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize 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, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. (a) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article
6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and 

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

(b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 

SECTION 6.11. 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 by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights
and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. 

  
 35 








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

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, as
modified or supplemented by a supplemental indenture, if any, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) 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 the Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of the Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own
willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b); 

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved
that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
Section 7.01(a), (b), (c) and (g). 
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. 
 (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. 
 (g) No provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 
 (h) Every
provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01 and to the provisions of the TIA. 

  
 36 








 (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default unless a Responsible Officer
responsible for administration of the Indenture has received written notice thereof. 
 SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The
Trustee may conclusively rely upon any 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. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney
appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to
be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to the Indenture and the
Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document. 
 (g) The Trustee
shall not be deemed to have notice or charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is
received from the Company or any Holders by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and the Indenture. 

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to
and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(i) 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 pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance
with such request or direction. 
 (j) The Trustee may from time to time request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the names of individuals or titles of officers authorized at such 

  
 37 








 
time to take specified actions pursuant to the Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any persons authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person
specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 (k) The permissive right of the Trustee to
take any action under the Indenture shall not be construed as a duty to so act. 
 (l) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or
liable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including 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.

 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
the Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict
within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 and Section 7.11. 

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of the Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent (other than itself as
Paying Agent), and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Indenture, in the Notes, or in any document executed in connection with the sale of the Notes, other than those set forth in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interest of Holders. 

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. (a) Within 60 days after each October 15, beginning with the first
October 15 after the date hereof, for so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall send to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §
313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its sending to the Holders shall be sent to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock
exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

  
 38 








 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee
from time to time such compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel retained by the
Trustee in connection with the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s
agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (including its directors, officers, employees and agents) against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
incurred by or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing the Indenture (including this Section 7.07) and of defending itself against any claims
(whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own
willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith, as determined in a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay the principal of and interest and any liquidated damages on the Notes. 

(c) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture,
any rejection or termination of the Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vii) or
Section 6.01(a)(viii), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 
 SECTION 7.08.
Replacement of Trustee. (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding
Notes may remove the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (i) the Trustee
fails to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is
entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 

  
 39 








 (iii) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property;
or 
 (iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes and
such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 

(d) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under the Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Holders.
The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

(e) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of 10% in principal amount of then-outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, after written notice hereto, the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (g)
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. In case at the time such successor or
successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by the Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and if at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in the Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at the option of the
Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in
this Article 8. 
 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. (a) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of
the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the
date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of the Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Notes and the Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; 
 (ii)
the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments
held in trust; 
 (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligations
in connection therewith; and 
 (iv) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture. 

  
 41 








 (b) Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 
 SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07 and 4.08 with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason
of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
the Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04, Section 6.01(a)(iii) through Section 6.01(a)(vi) shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 SECTION 8.04.
Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. (a) The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes: 

(i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States
Dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 
 (1) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (2) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the
applicable federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the
Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for 

  
 42 








 
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of a nationally recognized law firm in the United States confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes either: 

(1) on the date of such deposit, other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied
to such deposit; or 
 (2) insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events with respect to the Company are
concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 
 (v) such Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument, other than the Indenture with respect to the Notes, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (vi) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; 

(vii) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

(viii) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes have been complied with. 

SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Subject to
Section 8.06, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to
Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee 

  
 43 








 
may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (b) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 (c) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.06. Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or
any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30
days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. 

SECTION 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s
obligations under the Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance
with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

  
 44 








 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. (a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement the Indenture or the Notes, in each case without the consent of any Holder to: 
 (i) cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency; 
 (ii) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes;

 (iii) provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation;

 (iv) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder in any material respect; 
 (v) comply with
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; or 
 (vi) conform a
provision of the Base Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture to the extent such provision was intended to be a substantially verbatim recitation of the applicable provision under the caption “Description of Notes” in the Prospectus. 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Supplemental Indenture shall be construed to require any consent of any Holder to amend or
supplement the Base Indenture (or this Supplemental Indenture) in any manner that does not relate to the Notes. 
 (b) Upon the request of
the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of the Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter
into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION
9.02. With Consent of Holders. (a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement (x) the Indenture (including Section 4.08) or (y) the Notes, in each case with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject
to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a Payment Default resulting from an acceleration that
has been rescinded) 

  
 45 








 
or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, voting as a single
class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.09 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this
Section 9.02. 
 (b) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of the Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 (c) It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders of the
Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting as a single class, may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with
any provision of the Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 or otherwise may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(i) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption
(other than the notice period), but not any required repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer, of the Notes; 

(iii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

(iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, excluding
a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration; 

(v) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

  
 46 








 (vi) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of
past Defaults or Events of Default or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; 

(vii) waive a redemption payment, but not any payment upon a required repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer,
with respect to any Note; or 
 (viii) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. 

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an
amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. (a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement
or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

(b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it.
In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by the Indenture. 

  
 47 








 ARTICLE 10 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 10.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. (a) The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with
respect to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 
 (i) either: 

(1) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes
for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(2) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending
of a notice of redemption or otherwise, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and
discharge the entire principal and premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption on all the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; 

(ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and 

(iii) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward
the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 (b) In addition, the Company must deliver an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

SECTION 11.08. Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE AND THE
NOTES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

sum may be increased or decreased as set forth on the Schedule of Exchanges of Notes attached hereto)]2 on September 1, 2021, and to pay
interest thereon from September 1, 2016 or from the most recent Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 (each, a “Payment Date”)
in each year, commencing March 1, 2017, at the rate of 2.250% 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 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 the regular record date for such interest,
which shall be February 15 or August 15, as the case may be, next preceding such Payment Date or, if such record date is not a Business Day, at the close of business of the immediately succeeding Business Day. A “Business
Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York or at a place of payment are authorized by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed. If a payment date is not a
Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such regular record date and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the
fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 30 days before the special record date, the Company shall send or cause
to be sent to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest and the amount of interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. 

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will make all payments of principal, premium and interest, if any, on that
Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes within the City and State of New York unless, with respect to such other
payments, the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same
effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof
or an authenticating agent appointed by the Company, by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF 2.250% NOTE] 

 

	1.	Notes. 

 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior notes of the Company, issued and to be issued in
one or more series under the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 1, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to the Indenture dated as of April 15, 2014 (as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental
Indenture dated as of December 15, 2014 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), the “Base Indenture” and, together with the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes (as defined below) are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series
designated on the face hereof as “2.250% Senior Notes due 2021” (herein called the “Notes”), issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $700,000,000. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
  

	2.	No Sinking Fund. 

 No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. 

 

	3.	Optional Redemption. 

 (a) At the Company’s option, the Company may redeem the Notes at any
time in whole or in part. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes prior to August 1, 2021, the Company will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but
excluding the redemption date: (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the applicable Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes being redeemed. In determining the
present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes being redeemed, the Company will discount such payments to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate
equal to the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points. 
 (b) If the Company elects to redeem the Notes on or after August 1, 2021, the
Company will pay a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date. 

 

	4.	Selection and Notice of Redemption. 

 (a) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any
time, such Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. 
 (b) No Notes of $2,000 of principal
amount or less will be redeemed in part. Notice of redemption will be sent by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notice of redemption
may be conditional and, at the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied. 

  
 A-5 









	5.	Repurchase at Option of Holder. 

 (a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with
respect to the Notes, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part, equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter, of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below
(the “Change of Control Offer”). The offer price in any Change of Control Offer shall be payable in cash and will be 101% of the aggregate principal amount of any Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if
any (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event and subject to certain limitations described below, the Company shall send a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to
repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The Change of Control Payment Date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is sent, pursuant to
the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. 
  

	6.	Acceleration Upon Event of Default. 

 (a) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may declare all such Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from
Section 6.01(a)(vii) or Section 6.01(a)(viii) of the Indenture, with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 

(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the
Holders of all Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in connection
with a Change of Control Offer) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that
resulted from such acceleration). 
 (c) The Indenture provides that if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect
to the Notes and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must send to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the
Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders. In addition, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after
the end of each Fiscal Year, an Officers’ Certificate indicating whether the 

  
 A-6 








 
signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company is also required to deliver to the Trustee, promptly after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any
event that would constitute a Default or Event of Default, the status thereof and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 
  

	7.	Amendment and Modification. 

 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. 
  


	8.	No Impairment of Obligation to Pay or Right to Convert. 

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Note as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	9.	Transfer and Exchange. 

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the
Notes shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar will register the transfer as requested if the requirements of
the Indenture are satisfied. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the requirements of the
Indenture are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
  

	10.	No Service Charge. 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company or the Registrar may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection therewith. 
  

	11.	Treatment as Owner. 

 Prior to the due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal 

  
 A-7 








 
of and (subject to the provisions with respect to record dates) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

	12.	No Liability. 

 No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the
Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 
  

	13.	Governing Law. 

 THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE
AND THE NOTES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
