(c) On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept for payment all 2029 Senior Notes or portions of 2029 Senior Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;
(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2029 Senior Notes or portions of 2029 Senior Notes properly tendered; and

(e) The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2029 Senior Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer set forth in the Indenture and such third party purchases all 2029 Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) a notice of redemption for all outstanding 2029 Senior Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Original Indenture.

Section 4.09 Reports. Whether or not the Issuer is required to file reports with the Commission, the Issuer shall file with the Commission all such reports and other information when and as the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission by Sections 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act if the Issuer were subject thereto, unless the Commission does not permit such filings, in which case the Issuer shall provide such reports and other information to the Trustee (within the same time periods that would be applicable if the Issuer were required and permitted to file reports with the Commission) and instruct the Trustee to mail such reports and other information to Holders at their addresses set forth on the Security Register. The Issuer shall supply the Trustee and each Holder of 2029 Senior Notes or shall supply to the Trustee for forwarding to each such Holder, without cost to such Holder, copies of such reports and other information. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and each Holder of 2029 Senior Notes shall be deemed to have been supplied the foregoing reports and other information at the time the Trustee or such Holder may electronically access such reports and other information by means of the Commission’s homepage on the internet or at the Issuer’s homepage on the internet.
Delivery of the reports and other information described in this Section 4.09 to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports or other information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).”

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]
2.875% Senior Notes due 2029
THIS SECURITY IS A REGISTERED GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE REGISTERED FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO THE NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1.  Principal and Interest.
The Issuer will pay the principal of this Note on November 15, 2029.
The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date at the rate of 2.875% per annum.
Interest will be payable semi-annually (to the Holders of record of the 2029 Senior Notes at the close of business on May 1 or November 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing [May 15, 2020]1.
Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes will accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, [from and including November 18, 2019]2; provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 


The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum borne by the 2029 Senior Notes to the extent lawful and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.


2. Method of Payment.
The Issuer will pay principal as provided above and interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes as provided above on each Interest Payment Date to the persons who are Holders (as reflected in the Security Register at the close of business on May 1 and November 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the 2029 Senior Note is cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such record date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, the Issuer will not make payment to the Holder unless this Note is surrendered to a Paying Agent. 









The Issuer will pay principal, premium, if any, and, as provided above, interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, subject to the requirements of any Depositary which is the Holder of this Note, the Issuer may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by its check payable in such money. The Issuer may mail an interest check to a Holder’s registered address (as reflected in the Security Register). If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar.
Initially, the Trustee will act as Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint or change any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Issuer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.
4. Indenture.
The Issuer issued the 2029 Senior Notes under an Indenture dated as of December 9, 2015 (as supplemented by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2019, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the 2029 Senior Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The 2029 Senior Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. The 2029 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Issuer. 
5. Optional Redemption. 
Prior to the Par Call Date, the 2029 Senior Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the Issuer’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2029 Senior Notes to be redeemed that would have been made if such 2029 Senior Notes matured on the Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at then-current Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the 2029 Senior Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the Issuer’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.
6. Partial Redemption.
If less than all of the 2029 Senior Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the 2029 Senior Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the 2029 Senior Notes are listed, or if the 2029 Senior Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange, pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole 








discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate; provided that no 2029 Senior Note of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part.
7. Notice of Redemption.
Notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 5 hereof will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the 2029 Senior Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as it appears in the Security Register. Any 2029 Senior Notes in original denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue and the principal amount shall remain constant (using the principal amount as of the Redemption Date) on 2029 Senior Notes or portions of 2029 Senior Notes called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price.
8. Repurchase upon Change of Control Repurchase Event.
Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder shall have the right to require the repurchase of its 2029 Senior Notes by the Issuer in cash pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase plus accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
A notice of such Change of Control Repurchase Event will be mailed within 30 days after any Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to the Change of Control, but after public announcement of such Change of Control, to each Holder of the 2029 Senior Notes with a copy to the Trustee. Any 2029 Senior Notes in original denominations larger than $2,000 may be sold to the Issuer in part. On and after the Change of Control Payment Date, interest ceases to accrue on 2029 Senior Notes or portions of 2029 Senior Notes surrendered for purchase by the Issuer, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the repurchase price. 
9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.
The 2029 Senior Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of 2029 Senior Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any 2029 Senior Notes selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any 2029 Senior Notes being redeemed in part. Also, it need not register the transfer or exchange of any 2029 Senior Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2029 Senior Notes to be redeemed is made. 
10. Persons Deemed Owners.
A Holder shall be treated as the owner of a 2029 Senior Note for all purposes.
11. Unclaimed Money.
If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, then, subject to applicable escheat law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Issuer at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. 









12. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.
The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the 2029 Senior Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of U.S. dollars or Government Securities sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2029 Senior Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
13. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the 2029 Senior Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes then outstanding, and any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture, the 2029 Senior Notes and the Note Guarantees to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency and make any change that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder.
14. Restrictive Covenants.
The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of (x) the Issuer and the Guarantors, among other things, to create or permit any lien or merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of their assets and (y) the Issuer to permit its Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to incur certain Debt. The Indenture also requires the Issuer to cause each Domestic Subsidiary that guarantees the Credit Agreement or any other Debt of the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Guarantor to become a Guarantor of the 2029 Senior Notes as set forth in the Indenture. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Issuer must report to the Trustee on compliance with such covenants.
15. Successor Persons.

16. Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the 2029 Senior Notes to be immediately due and payable.
