	 	(3)	 Notes as to which Defeasance has been effected pursuant to Section 1102; and 



 

	 	(4)	 Notes which have been paid pursuant to Section 206 or in exchange for or in lieu of which other Notes
have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, other than any such Notes in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such Notes are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands
such Notes are valid obligations of the Company; 


 provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of
the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or
of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Subsidiary of the Company or of such other obligor.

 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,

otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the
holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 501) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided

 The ownership, principal amount and serial number of the Notes shall be proved by the Note
Register. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every
future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act, set any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of the Outstanding Notes entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or permitted by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Notes. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
(or their duly appointed agents) and for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder shall be effective
hereunder unless given or taken on or prior to such expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents). On or prior to any expiration date set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Company may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or taking, after any expiration date, any
action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, any action given or taken, or purported to have been given or taken, hereunder by a Holder on or prior to such date, in which event the Company may set a record date in respect
thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any action to be given or taken by
Holders pursuant to Sections 401, 402 or 412. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action
hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any
different part of such principal amount.

 Section 105.    Notices, Etc., to Trustee and
Company. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or
permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  

	 	(1)	 the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 


  

	 	(2)	 the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise
herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it to the attention of its Treasurer at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any
other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 


 The Trustee agrees to accept and
act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency
certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted
from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of
such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such
instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without
limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. 
 
Section 106.    Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
 Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of the Notes of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of the Notes if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Note
affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

In any case where notice to Holders of the Notes is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular Holder of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Notes given as provided herein. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have
been duly given or provided. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee
shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by
the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of the Notes shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

Section 107.    Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a
part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

Section 109.    Successors and Assigns. 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

Section 110.    Separability Clause. 

In case any provision in this Indenture or any Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 111.    Benefits of Indenture. 

Nothing in this Indenture or the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person (including any Paying Agent or Authenticating Agent
appointed pursuant to Section 514), other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders of the Notes, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 112. Governing Law.

 Section 113.    Legal Holidays. 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day at the Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at the Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at
the Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of
or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and
interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to

The Notes 
 
Section 201.    Form 
 The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be

them. Each Note shall show the date of its authentication. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are
hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 

The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of a single permanent global Note in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A (the “Initial Global Notes”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in

Table of Contents


 The Notes issued after the Issue Date shall be issued (a) initially in the form of
one or more global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided
and shall bear any legends required by applicable law (together with the Initial Global Notes, the “Global Notes”) or (b) as Physical Notes.  

The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records
of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided. Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note pursuant to Section 205 may be issued in the form of permanent certificated Notes in registered form in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A and bearing the applicable legends, if any (the “Physical Notes”).  

Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the
Company without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than with respect to the purchase price
thereof and the date from which the interest accrues) as the Initial Notes. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including
waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, and shall vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes; provided further that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes the Additional Notes will have a separate “CUSIP” number, if applicable. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all purposes of this Indenture include any Additional Notes that are actually

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in

 The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or
one of its Vice Presidents and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. 

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. 

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Table of Contents


 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 The Trustee shall authenticate (i) on the Issue
Date, Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $300,000,000.00 (the “Initial Notes”) and (ii) additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) in an unlimited amount in each case upon
an Authentication Order. Each such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and whether the
Notes are to be issued as Physical Notes or Global Notes or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request.  
 All
Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. The Additional Notes shall bear any legend required by applicable law. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and
the Company shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 209, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 204.    Temporary Notes. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, in registered form without coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
 Every temporary Note shall be executed
by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee and registered by the Note Registrar, upon the same conditions, and with like effect, as a definitive Note. 

If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged
the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

 Section 205.    Registration, Registration of
Transfer and Exchange. 
 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the
register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.

 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency in the Place of Payment, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. 

At the option of the Holder, the Notes may be exchanged for other Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations
of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 204, 806 or 1007 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption under Section 1003 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to register the transfer or exchange of
any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Note may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Notes registered
in the name of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, unless (1) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Global Note or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Note shall be so transferable, registrable and
exchangeable, and such transfers shall be registrable, (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes evidenced by such Global Note. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Global

Depositary for such Global Note shall have directed and no transfer thereof other than such a transfer may be registered.

 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

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 shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. 
 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. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Note under this
Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Notes. 
 The provisions of this Section 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 207.    Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved. 
 Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case,
as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
  

	 	(1)	 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or
their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of the Notes at his address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes)
are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date. 


  

	 	(2)	 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to
this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

“CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided 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 identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the

 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to this Section 401, a
record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of the Outstanding Notes entitled to join in such Notice of Default, which record date shall be the close of business on the
day the Trustee receives such Notice of Default. The Holders of the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such Notice of Default shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed
agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder
(or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a Notice of Default contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a Notice of Default that has been
cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 

Section 402.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or
specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before
a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 413. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or any rescission and annulment of any such declaration pursuant
to this Section 402, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of the Outstanding Notes entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as
the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be. The Holders of the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed
agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration, or
rescission an annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the
90th day after such record date, such

declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or different from, or, after
the expiration of such period, identical to, a declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set
pursuant to this paragraph. 
 Section 403.    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for
Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if 
  

	 	(1)	 default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a period of 30 days, or 


  

	 	(2)	 default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof,



 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount
then due and payable on the Notes for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or
rates prescribed therefor in the Notes, and, in addition thereto, 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. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 
Section 404.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order
to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 507.

 No provision of this Indenture 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 thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

 Section 405.    Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any
of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

Section 406.    Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee: 
 FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 507; and 

SECOND:  To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes in respect of
which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and any premium and interest, respectively. 

THIRD:  To the Company or to such other person as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

Section 407.    Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
  

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



  

	 	(2)	 the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request
to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 


  

	 	(3)	 such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request in such amount as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee; and 



  
 25 







Table of Contents



	 	(4)	 for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, the Trustee has failed to institute a proceeding and no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes; 



it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing
of, any provision of this Indenture to disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 

Section 408.    Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional,
to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 207) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of such right, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 409.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 410.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of
Section 206, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 411.    Delay or Omission Not
Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time,
and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 Section 412.    Control by Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercise any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes, provided that 
  

	 	(1)	 such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and



  

	 	(2)	 such direction may not involve the Trustee in personal liability if the Trustee believes indemnity is not
adequate. 


 The Trustee may also take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction. 
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to the Notes, a record date shall automatically and
without any other action by any Person be set for determining the Holders of the Outstanding Notes entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such direction. The Holders of
the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such
direction shall have become effective by virtue of the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date),
such direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such
90-day period, a direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a direction that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect
thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 
 Section 413.    Waiver of Past
Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all
the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default 
  

	 	(1)	 in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Note, or 



 

	 	(2)	 in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Eight cannot be amended without the consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. 


 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 this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 Section 414.    Undertaking for Costs.

 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and may assess costs against any such party
litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment
in any suit instituted by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 408 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. 

Section 415.    Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this 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 will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The Trustee 
 
Section 501.    Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  

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



 

	 	(1)	 the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 


  

	 	(2)	 in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 


  

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

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder. 
 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in this Section, as the case may be.

hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In the event any Notes shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Notes, in either its own name or that of its
predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.

Section 514.     Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee
to authenticate the Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 206, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall
be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,

requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall
continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at
any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall provide notice of such appointment to the
Holders of the Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, in the manner provided in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights,
powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request (including interest income accrued on said funds to which the
Company is otherwise entitled), or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note, as an unsecured general creditor, shall look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee

that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or if such failure to pay or discharge could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the ability of the Company to pay the Notes in accordance with their terms.

prior to or concurrently with the issuance, assumption or guarantee of any such Debt, the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guarantee by the Company ranking equally with the Notes and then existing
or thereafter created) equally and ratably with (or, at the Company’s option, prior to) such Debt, provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to or prevent the creation of:

	 	(2)	 The provisions of Section 908(1) shall not apply to the issuance, assumption or guarantee by the Company
of Debt secured by a Lien which would otherwise be subject to such restrictions up to an aggregate amount that, together with all other Indebtedness of the Company (other than Debt secured by Liens permitted by Section 908(1)) that would

been complied with; and 


  

	 	(B)	 an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such covenant has been complied with, and that any instrument

specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 401(3)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other

any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. Unless such deposit consists

at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation specified in Clause
(x) and held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Obligation, provided that (except as required by
law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal
or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt. 


  

	 	(2)	 In the case of an election under Section 1102, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case
(A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion

respect to the Notes and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 



 

	 	(3)	 In the case of an election under Section 1103, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Notes and will be subject to

	 	(4)	 The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Notes, if
then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit. 


  

	 	(5)	 No Event of Default or event that (after notice or lapse of time or both) would become an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any Event of Default or any such event specified in Sections 401(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being
understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 


  

	 	(6)	 Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Notes are in default within the meaning of such Act). 


  

	 	(7)	 Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 


  

	 	(8)	 The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 


  

	 	(9)	 Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation thereunder.

the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Notes, of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1104 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes. 

Anything in this Article Eleven to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1104 with respect to the Notes that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes. 

Section 1106.    Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article Eleven with respect to the Notes 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 this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eleven with respect to the Notes until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1105 with respect to the Notes in accordance with
this Article Eleven; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
of the Notes to receive such payment from the money so held in trust. 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

3.80% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2046 

Interest Payment Dates: April 1 and October 1 

Place of Payment: Office of the Trustee 

Regular Record Dates: March 15 and September 15 

SOUTHWEST GAS CORPORATION, a California corporation (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes
any successor corporation under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to              or registered assigns, the principal sum of
         Dollars ($        ) on September 29, 2046 and to pay interest thereon from September 29, 2016, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, on April 1 and October 1 in each year, beginning on April 1, 2017, at the rate of 3.80% per annum, until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue
principal and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue interest at the same rate per annum compounded semi-annually. The amount
of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest
is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the March 15 or September 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided
for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may, upon election by the Company following notice to the Trustee, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered
at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, by giving notice to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date and not less than 10 days after the
receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment or as otherwise specified in the Indenture.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF THE NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of obligations of the Company (herein called the “Notes”),
issued and to be issued under an Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of September 29, 2016 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). Reference to the Indenture is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 201 of the Indenture. 

All or a portion of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) are subject to redemption at the option of the Company upon not
less than 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ notice by mail (i) at any time prior to March 29, 2046, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on the
Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes up to, but excluding, such Redemption Date, or (b) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points,
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but excluding such Redemption Date, or (ii) at any time on or after March 29, 2046 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes up to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. 

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in
the name of the Holder hereof upon cancellation of this Note. 
 In certain circumstances described in the Indenture, the
Company’s obligations in respect of the Notes or in respect of certain covenants made for the benefit of the Notes may be discharged prior to payment upon depositing with the Trustee cash and/or U.S. Government Obligations in the required
amount and upon compliance with certain other provisions of the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Notes
occurs and is continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Table of Contents


 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes affected at the time outstanding to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any manner, or
eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture, or for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no supplemental indenture shall (i) change the stated
maturity of the principal or interest on any Note, (ii) reduce the principal amount of or the interest or premium payable on any Note, (iii) change the currency in which any Note is payable, (iv) impair the right of any Holder of any
Note to bring suit to enforce any payment, (v) reduce the percentage of registered Holders of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, modification or waiver or (vi) modify certain of the provisions in the
indenture relating to supplemental indentures, in each case, without the consent of the registered Holder of each Note affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes outstanding and affected thereby, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Notes, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture, and its consequences,
except a default (i) in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any of the Notes, or (ii) in respect of a provision contained in the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each
outstanding Note affected thereby. Any consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon that Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and of
any Note issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of the consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

In certain limited circumstances, the Indenture may be amended, and the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights
of the Holders may be modified, at any time by the Company and the Trustee without notice to or consent of the Holders. 

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

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note is registrable in
the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, if duly endorsed by, or if accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer (in a form that is satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar) duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and like
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for other Notes, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith to the extent provided in the Indenture.
