 WHEREAS, all things necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and make it a valid and

SECTION 1.04 Denominations. The Notes will be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. 
 SECTION 1.05 Form of Notes. 

(a) Notes initially offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes in definitive,
fully registered form, without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (referred to collectively as the “Rule 144A Global Note”). The Rule 144A Global Note shall be deposited on the date of the closing of the
sale of the Notes with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary. Interests in the Rule 144A Global Note shall be available for purchase only by QIBs. 

(b) Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions to Non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S
shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (referred to collectively as the “Regulation S Global
Note”). Through and including the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes and the original issue date of the Notes (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Distribution Compliance
Period”), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes may be held only through Euroclear and Clearstream (as indirect participants in the Depositary), unless transferred to a person that takes delivery through a Rule 144A Global Note
in accordance with the certification requirements provided by Section 1.06. Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes at any time except in the limited
circumstances described below. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note may be
transferred, in whole and not in part, solely to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its nominee. Owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose
under the Indenture, and beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described in Section 1.06. The rights of Holders of such Global Note shall be
exercised only through the Depositary. 
 Any beneficial interest in a Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the
form of an interest in another Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other
procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for so long as it remains such an interest. 
 A Global Note shall
be exchangeable for Notes registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Original Indenture. Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct and Notes issued in exchange for Rule 144A Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will bear, and be subject to, the legends
relating to restrictions on transfer required by Section 1.07.

 SECTION 1.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer Restrictions. The Initial Notes, and those Exchange Notes with respect to which any Person described in Sections
1.07(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) is the beneficial owner, may not be transferred except in compliance with the applicable legends contained in Exhibit A unless otherwise determined by the Company in accordance with applicable law. 

No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer
or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of the mailing of a notice identifying the Notes to be called for redemption, and ending at the close of business on the day of the
mailing, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Notes theretofore selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note redeemed in part. 

(b) Transfers under Regulation S Global Note. 

(i) Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, a transfer of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Note shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto from the proposed
transferee and, if requested by the Company or the Trustee, the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to each of them. After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in the
Regulation S Global Note may be transferred without requiring the certification set forth in Exhibit C hereto or any additional certification. 

(ii) Prior to or on the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note
may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream or another agent member of Euroclear and Clearstream acting for and on behalf of them, unless exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with the certification requirements
hereof. During the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in a Regulation S Global Note, if any, may be exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A Global Note only in accordance with the certification requirements described in this
Section 1.06. 
 (iii) As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 1.06(b), the term
“transfer” encompasses any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Notes referred to herein except for transfers from any Holder to an Affiliate of such Holder; provided that such transferring Holder shall deliver a letter to the
Trustee stating that the transferee is an Affiliate of such Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and be fully protected in its reliance on such letter. 

(c) Transfers of Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, a
transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Note shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit D hereto from the proposed transferor and, if requested by the Company or the Trustee, the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to each of them. 

(d) Exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes. The Initial Notes may be exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to the terms of the
Exchange Offer. The Trustee shall make the exchange as follows: 
 The Company shall present the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate
certifying the following: 
 (i) upon issuance of the Exchange Notes, the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer have been
consummated; and 

  
 5 













 (ii) the principal amount of Initial Notes properly tendered in the Exchange Offer that are
represented by a Global Note or by Global Notes and the principal amount of Initial Notes properly tendered in the Exchange Offer that are represented by individual Notes, the name of each Holder of such individual Initial Notes, the principal
amount properly tendered in the Exchange Offer by each such Holder and the name and address to which individual Exchange Notes shall be registered and sent for each such Holder. 

The Trustee, upon receipt of (i) such Officer’s Certificate, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee of the Notes
to the effect that the Exchange Notes have been registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act, and the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and (iii) a Company Order, shall authenticate a Global Note or Global
Notes for Exchange Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes represented by a Global Note or by Global Notes indicated in such Officer’s Certificate as having been properly tendered. 

If the principal amount of the Global Note or Global Notes for the Exchange Notes is less than the principal amount of the Global Note or
Global Notes for the Initial Notes, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note or Global Notes for Initial Notes indicating a reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. 

SECTION 1.07 Legends. 

(a) Except as permitted by Sections 1.07(b) and (c), or as otherwise determined by the Company in accordance with applicable law, each Note
shall bear the applicable legends relating to restrictions on transfer pursuant to the securities laws in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit A hereto. 

(b) After a transfer of any Initial Notes during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such
Initial Notes, all requirements pursuant to Section 1.07(a) pertaining to restrictive legends on such Initial Notes shall cease to apply. 

(c) The Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate upon a Company Order, Exchange Notes in exchange for Initial Notes accepted
for exchange in the Exchange Offer, which Exchange Notes shall not bear the legends required by Section 1.07(a), in each case unless the Holder of such Initial Notes is either (i) a broker-dealer who purchased such Initial Notes directly
from the Company for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act, (ii) a Person participating in the distribution of the Initial Notes or (iii) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act) of the Company. 
 SECTION 1.08 Defeasance. The provisions of Article Six of the Original Indenture shall
apply to the Notes. 
 SECTION 1.09 Redemption at the Option of the Company. 

(a) At any time prior to April 15, 2028 (which is the date that is two months prior to the Stated Maturity (the “Par Call
Date”)), the Notes shall be redeemable, at the sole option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date and (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments for principal of and interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to
be redeemed, not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of 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 Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, such
Redemption Date. 
 (b) At any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes shall be redeemable, at the sole option of the Company, in
whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date), that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to

(c) The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Price with respect to the foregoing redemption promptly after the
calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said Redemption Price or confirming the accuracy thereof. Notwithstanding Section 4.04 of the Original Indenture, such notice need not set forth the Redemption Price but
only the manner of calculation thereof. 
 SECTION 1.10 Change of Control. 

(a) In the event of any Change of Control Repurchase Event (the effective date of such Change of Control Repurchase Event being the
“Change of Control Date”) each Holder of the Notes will have the right, at such Holder’s option, subject to the terms and conditions herein, to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes (a “Change of Control Offer”) on a date selected by the Company that is no earlier than sixty (60) days nor later than ninety (90) days (the “Purchase

Notes held in book entry form shall comply with the Applicable Procedures of DTC. The Change of Control Purchase Notice shall state:

the Notes as to which the withdrawal notice relates and the principal amount, if any, that remains subject to a Change of Control Purchase Notice. 

(f) If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price of a Note on the Business Day following the
Purchase Date for such Note, then, on and after such date, interest on such Note will cease to accrue, whether or not such Note is delivered to the Paying Agent, and all other rights of the Holder of such Note shall terminate (other than the right
to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price upon delivery of such Note). 
 (g) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in
Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 1.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 1.10, the Company shall not be required to make Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in
compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (ii) notice of redemption has been

the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction; 
 (iii) during any period, individuals who at the beginning of
such period constituted the Board of Directors (for so long as the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, dated February 6, 2009 (as amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”) are in effect, together with any replacement or

election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors then in office; or

 “Permitted Holders” means each of the Investors and members of management
of the Company (or its direct or indirect parent) who are holders of Voting Stock of the Company (or any of its direct or indirect parent companies) on the issue date of the Notes and any “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)
and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) of which any of the foregoing are members; provided that, in the case of such group and without giving effect to the existence of such group or any other group, such Investors and
members of management, collectively, have beneficial ownership of a majority of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company. 

“Rating Agency” means each of Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s or, if Standard & Poor’s or
Moody’s or both shall not make a rating on the Notes publicly available, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or organizations, as the case may be, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of

 “Ratings
Event” means a decrease in the ratings of the Notes by one or more gradations (including gradations within categories as well as between rating categories) by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an

period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies and the other Rating Agency has either downgraded, or publicly announced that it is
considering downgrading, the Notes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the rating of the Notes by each of the Rating Agencies is Investment Grade, then “Ratings Event” means a decrease in the ratings of the Notes by one or more
gradations (including gradations within categories as well as between rating categories) by each of the Rating Agencies such that the rating of the Notes by each of the Rating Agencies falls below Investment Grade on any date from the date of the
public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 30-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 30-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies and the other Rating Agency has either downgraded,
or publicly announced that it is considering downgrading, the Notes). 
 “Voting Stock” means securities of any class or
classes the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for corporate directors (or persons performing similar functions). 

Section 1.11 Rule 144A Reporting Requirement. Upon request therefor, the Company shall provide to prospective Holders of the
Initial Notes, all information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as any Note that remains Outstanding is a “restricted security” with the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities
Act. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including our compliance with any of our covenants under the Original Indenture or the Initial Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on officers’ certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to
monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, Company’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or EDGAR or any website under the indenture, or participate in any conference
calls. 
 Section 1.12 Trustee’s Responsibilities. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness
of the information concerning the Company or its affiliates or any other party contained in this document or for any failure by the Company or any other party to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of
such information. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any asset disposition has occurred and whether any asset sale offer with respect to the Notes is required. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying
Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any change of control has occurred and whether any change of control offer with respect to the Notes is required. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible for monitoring our
credit rating status, making any request upon any rating agency or determining whether any rating event with respect to the Notes has occurred.

set forth in the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests attached hereto on the Stated Maturity shown above (or upon earlier redemption), and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date shown above, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date as specified above, commencing on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date shown above and on the Stated Maturity
(or upon earlier redemption) at the rate per annum shown above until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on any overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date) will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (this “Note”) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date as specified above next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that any interest payable at Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date will be paid to the Person to whom
principal is payable. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in
whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 15 days prior
to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes of this series shall be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
 Payments of interest on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Note shall be computed and paid 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 the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in
respect of any such delay). A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which banks in Minneapolis, Minnesota are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which
the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office is closed for business.

 Payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Stated Maturity or
earlier redemption of this Note shall be made upon surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, 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. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date for
payment by the Person entitled thereto. 
 The unpaid principal amount of this Note shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth
above. 
 The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 14, 2021 with the 

Initial Purchasers described therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Holders of the Initial 

Notes shall have all the 
 rights set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 From and after the date on which a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) occurs, the interest rate payable on this Note shall increase (in addition to the interest rate set forth above) and additional interest reflecting such increase shall accrue with respect to this Note, as described in the Registration
Rights Agreement, until but not including the date on which all such Registration Defaults shall be cured and cease to exist (and provided no other Registration Default with respect to this Note shall then be continuing), at the rate of one quarter
of one percent (0.25%) per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum at the end of each
subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase exceed one percent (1.00%) per annum, which additional interest shall be payable hereon at the times, in the manner and subject to the same terms
and conditions set forth herein and in the Indenture, as though the interest rate set forth above had been increased by such applicable percentage per annum.
