securities, may amend or supplement the Base Indenture to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the Notes as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.02 thereof.

THE NOTES 

Section 2.01. Form and Dating. (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will
be substantially in the forms of Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes
will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained
in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of the Note will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any provision of the Note
conflicts with the express provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling. 

Interest payable on any interest payment date or the maturity date will be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the next
preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the issue date, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the notes) to, but excluding, such interest
payment date or maturity date, as the case may be. If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a business day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding business day as if made
on the date the payment was due. No interest will accrue on such payment for the period from and after such interest payment date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding business day. 

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the forms of Exhibit A and Exhibit B
attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the forms of Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon). Each Global Note
will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each will provide  

  
 12 








 
that it will represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may
from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.02 hereof. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 Section 2.02. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes of a series will be
exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if: 
 (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that
(A) it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (B) it is no longer a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act; or 
 (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes of such series (in
whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee. 
 Upon the
occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes will be issued in such names and in any approved denominations as the Depositary will instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced,
in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.08 and 2.11 of the Base Indenture. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.02 or 2.08 or 2.11 of the Base
Indenture, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.02(a) ; however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.02 (b), Section 2.02(c) (c) or (g) hereof. 

  
 13 








 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Transfers of beneficial interests
in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to
Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions will be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.02(b)(i). 

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges
of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.02(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either: 

(A) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(B) instructions given in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary containing information regarding the
Participant account to be credited with such increase. 
 Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of
beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, the Trustee will adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.02(g) hereof. 

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes. If any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes
to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar
a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures containing information regarding the beneficial interest to be so exchanged or transferred and the recipient of the
Definitive Note. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b)(ii) hereof, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.02(g) hereof, and the
Company will execute and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange
for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the Holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar
from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Definitive Note contemplated by this
Section 2.02(c) shall only be permitted if (i)

  
 14 








 
the Company determines at any time that the Notes shall no longer be represented by Global Notes and shall inform such Depositary of such determination or (ii) such exchange or transfer is
made upon request by or on behalf of at least 25% of the Beneficial Owners seeking to exercise or enforce their rights under the Securities during the continuance of an Event of Default. 

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a
beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee
will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes. 

If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to the previous paragraph at a time when
a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so
transferred. 
 A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive
Note. 
 (e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such
Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.02(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder will present or surrender to
the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting
Holder will provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.02(e).

specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture.

 (iii) an Officer’s Certificate is delivered to the Trustee to the effect that
both of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above have been satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to the Trustee to the effect that condition (i) set forth above has been satisfied and/or that any conditions
precedent in connection with this First Supplemental Indenture have been satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture.  

In the event of any of the above transactions, if there is a successor Person as described in paragraph (i)(2) immediately above, then the
successor will expressly assume and be bound by all of the Company’s obligations and duties under the Indenture and automatically be substituted for the Company in the Indenture and as issuer of the Notes 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 in the Company’s place in the Indenture. Further, if the transaction is in the form of a sale or conveyance, after any such transfer (except in
the case of a lease), the Company will be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and all Notes issued thereunder.

permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in the Base Indenture; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a
particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default; 

(c) provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Notes of any series as permitted by the Base Indenture;

 (d) provide for the assumption of the Company obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company pursuant to Article 5

than one Trustee; 
 (h) comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Base Indenture under
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. 
 Other amendments and modifications of the Base Indenture or the Notes may be made with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the affected series, and the Company’s compliance with any provision of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes may be waived
by written notice to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the affected series. 

Section 7.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 7.02 may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: 
 (a) reduce the principal amount, any premium or change
the fixed maturity of the Notes, or alter or waive the redemption provisions of the Notes; 
 (b) change any place of payment or where the
Notes of any series or interest thereon is payable;

 (Reverse of Note) 

2.750% Senior Notes due 2020 

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

1. INTEREST. Lam Research Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at 2.750% per annum from the date hereof until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the 2020 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided
that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding
Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date will be September 15, 2015. The Company will 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 2020 Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to
the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The
Company will pay interest on the 2020 Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2020 Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2020 Notes will
be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Definitive Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of
Holders of 2020 Notes; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to 2020 Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee will be required to be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. INDENTURE. This Note is one of a duly authenticated series of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an indenture (the 

  
 A-5 








 
“Base Indenture”), dated as of February 13, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental
Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of March 12, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the 2020 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part
of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The 2020 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To
the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of the Note will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any provision of the Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling. The Company will be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture. 

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. At any time prior to February 15, 2020 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2020 Notes), the
Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the 2020 Notes being
redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption or purchase (“2020 Notes Optional Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date): 
 (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments due on such Notes, discounted to the 2020 Notes Optional
Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the 2020 Notes Optional Redemption Date. 

On and after the 2020 Notes Optional Redemption Date, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem, in whole or in part, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal being redeemed to such redemption date. 

Calculation of the foregoing shall be made by the Company or on the Company’s behalf by such Person as the Company shall designate;
provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee. 
 On and after the 2020 Notes Optional
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2020 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price. 

  
 A-6 








 6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the 2020 Notes. 
 7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding 2020 Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase. 

8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. The Company will send electronically or by first class mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the 2020 Notes to be redeemed setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture (with written notice to the Trustee no less
than 15 days (or such shorter period as agreed by the Trustee) prior to the sending of such redemption notice in the event the Trustee is engaged by the Company to send such notice or cause such notice to be sent in the Company’s name and at
the Company’s expense). If less than all of the 2020 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2020 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in each
case in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. 
 9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The 2020 Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The 2020 Notes may be transferred or exchanged as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the First Supplemental Indenture. The Company need not exchange or transfer any Note or portion
of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any 2020 Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2020 Notes to be
redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The
registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Base Indenture
may be amended as provided therein. Subject to certain exceptions, amendments or modifications to the First Supplemental Indenture or the 2020 Notes may be made with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes affected by the amendment or modification, and compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture with respect to the 2020 Notes may be waived by written notice to the trustee by the Holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes affected by the waiver. Without the consent of any Holder of the 2020 Notes, the First Supplemental Indenture or the 2020 

  
 A-7 








 
Notes may be amended or modified in order to, among other things: cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; secure the 2020 Notes, add events of default, covenants or guarantees with respect
to the 2020 Notes or make any other change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the 2020 Notes; obtain or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or make any other change that does
not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of the 2020 Notes. Subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all 2020 Notes waive the
Company’s compliance with provisions of the Indenture and waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to the 2020 Notes and its consequences. 

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. An “EVENT OF DEFAULT” occurs if there is: 

(i) default in paying interest on the 2020 Notes when it becomes due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more;
or 
 (ii) default in paying principal, or premium, if any, on the 2020 Notes when due; or 

(iii) failure to make the required payment in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event when due and payable in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or 
 (iv) default in the performance or breach of any other covenant by the
Company relating to the 2020 Notes, and the default or breach continues uncured for a period of 90 days or more after the Company receives written notice from the trustee or the Company and the trustee receive written notice from the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes as provided in the Indenture; or 
 (v) (a) a failure
to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, of any of the Company’s Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries) in an amount in excess of $100 million and continuance of this
failure to pay or (b) a default on any of the Company’s Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of the maturity such Indebtedness in an amount in excess
of $100 million without such Indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof to the
Company by the trustee or to the Company and the trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes as provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that if any failure, default or acceleration
referred to in clause (a) or (b) above ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the event of default will be deemed cured; or 

(vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company pursuant to Section 6.01 of
the First Supplemental Indenture. 

  
 A-8 








 If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding 2020 Notes may, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare all the 2020 Notes to be due and payable immediately the principal of, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on all of the 2020 Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, the principal (or such specified amount) of and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding 2020 Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of 2020 Notes. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or
the 2020 Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2020 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders of the 2020 Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it, in good faith, determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2020 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 interest on, or the principal of, the 2020 Notes or in respect if a covenant or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders of the 2020
Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, will not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2020 Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of 2020 Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the 2020 Notes.

 (Reverse of Note)

3.800% Senior Notes due 2025 

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

1. INTEREST. Lam Research Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at 3.800% per annum from the date hereof until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the 2025 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided
that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding
Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date will be September 15, 2015. The Company will 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 2025 Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to
the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The
Company will pay interest on the 2025 Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2025 Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2025 Notes will
be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Definitive Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of
Holders of 2025 Notes; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to 2025 Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee will be required to be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. INDENTURE. This Note is one of a duly authenticated series of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an indenture (the 

  
 B-5 








 
“Base Indenture”), dated as of February 13, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental
Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of March 12, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the 2025 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part
of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The 2025 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To
the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of the Note will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any provision of the Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling. The Company will be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture. 

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. At any time prior to December 15, 2024 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2025 Notes), the
Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the 2025 Notes being
redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption or purchase (“2025 Notes Optional Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date): 
 (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments due on such Notes, discounted to the 2025 Notes Optional
Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the 2025 Notes Optional Redemption Date. 

On and after the 2025 Notes Optional Redemption Date, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem, in whole or in part, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal being redeemed to such redemption date. 

Calculation of the foregoing shall be made by the Company or on the Company’s behalf by such Person as the Company shall designate;
provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee. 
 On and after the 2025 Notes Optional
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2025 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price. 

  
 B-6 








 6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the 2025 Notes. 
 7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding 2025 Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase. 

8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. The Company will send electronically or by first class mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture (with written notice to the Trustee no less
than 15 days (or such shorter period as agreed by the Trustee) prior to the sending of such redemption notice in the event the Trustee is engaged by the Company to send such notice or cause such notice to be sent in the Company’s name and at
the Company’s expense). If less than all of the 2025 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2025 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in each
case in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. 
 9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The 2025 Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The 2025 Notes may be transferred or exchanged as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the First Supplemental Indenture. The Company need not exchange or transfer any Note or portion
of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any 2025 Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2025 Notes to be
redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The
registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Base Indenture
may be amended as provided therein. Subject to certain exceptions, amendments or modifications to the First Supplemental Indenture or the 2025 Notes may be made with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes affected by the amendment or modification, and compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture with respect to the 2025 Notes may be waived by written notice to the trustee by the Holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes affected by the waiver. Without the consent of any Holder of the 2025 Notes, the First Supplemental Indenture or the 2025 

  
 B-7 








 
Notes may be amended or modified in order to, among other things: cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; secure the 2025 Notes, add events of default, covenants or guarantees with respect
to the 2025 Notes or make any other change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the 2025 Notes; obtain or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or make any other change that does
not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of the 2025 Notes. Subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all 2025 Notes waive the
Company’s compliance with provisions of the Indenture and waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to the 2025 Notes and its consequences. 

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. An “EVENT OF DEFAULT” occurs if there is: 

(i) default in paying interest on the 2025 Notes when it becomes due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more;
or 
 (ii) default in paying principal, or premium, if any, on the 2025 Notes when due; or 

(iii) failure to make the required payment in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event when due and payable in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or 
 (iv) default in the performance or breach of any other covenant by the
Company relating to the 2025 Notes, and the default or breach continues uncured for a period of 90 days or more after the Company receives written notice from the trustee or the Company and the trustee receive written notice from the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes as provided in the Indenture; or 
 (v) (a) a failure
to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, of any of the Company’s Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries) in an amount in excess of $100 million and continuance of this
failure to pay or (b) a default on any of the Company’s Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of the maturity such Indebtedness in an amount in excess
of $100 million without such Indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof to the
Company by the trustee or to the Company and the trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes as provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that if any failure, default or acceleration
referred to in clause (a) or (b) above ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the event of default will be deemed cured; or 

(vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company pursuant to Section 6.01 of
the First Supplemental Indenture. 

  
 B-8 








 If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding 2025 Notes may, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare all the 2025 Notes to be due and payable immediately the principal of, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on all of the 2025 Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, the principal (or such specified amount) of and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding 2025 Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of 2025 Notes. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or
the 2025 Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2025 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders of the 2025 Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it, in good faith, determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2025 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 interest on, or the principal of, the 2025 Notes or in respect if a covenant or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders of the 2025
Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, will not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2025 Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of 2025 Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the 2025 Notes. 
 15. AUTHENTICATION. This
Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 16. ABBREVIATIONS.
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=
Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the 2025 Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such
numbers either as printed on the 2025 Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture. Requests may be made to:
