Indenture; 
 (b) each term defined anywhere in this Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout;

 (d) headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation; and 
 (e) the following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings: 

“Additional Notes” means, subject to Section 205 of this Supplemental Indenture, 4.875% Notes due 2023 issued from time to

or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately
following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

 “Comparable
Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if

the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be. 

“Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below an
Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any day within the 60-day period (which 60-day period will be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the


  
 3 








 
Rating Agencies) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (2) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect
a Change of Control; provided, however, that a Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Rating Event
for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the
Company’s or its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of
Control has occurred at the time of the Rating Event).

Date.

Inc. 
 “Securities” has the meaning specified in the first recital of this Supplemental Indenture. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to: (1) the yield, under the heading
which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H. 15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable
Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month, or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the
calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

 ARTICLE FOUR 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER 
 Section 401. Change of Control Offer. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes as
described in Section 301 above, the Company shall be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of that Holder’s Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement
of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to the Holders of the Notes describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to
repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if
mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes
properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. 
 (b) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if 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 Company and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has
occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 

(c) 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 

  
 7 








 
Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company
shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

Agreement. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes in definitive, fully registered form, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as

authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. 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 and the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided. 
 (b) Book-Entry Provisions. This
Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. 
 The Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b) and pursuant to a Company Order, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global

 2 









	 	2.3	Transfer and Exchange. 


(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Security Registrar with a request:

 (x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

(y) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

 the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are
met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed
by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.

 (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the
Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Security
Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Security Registrar
shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer of the
beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. 
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a
beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being
transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from
which such interest is being transferred. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other
than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or
by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (c)
Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depositary for
cancellation or

 [Reverse Side of Note] 
 1. General. 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of
the Company (hereinafter called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of May 6, 2013, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 20, 2013 (collectively,
together with any applicable subsequent amendments or supplements, herein called the “Indenture”; all capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture), between the Company and U.S.
Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one
of the series designated on the face hereof, which series is unlimited in amount. After giving effect to the issuance of Securities of such series on the date of the Supplemental Indenture, $330,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities of
such series were issued and outstanding. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and any premium and any interest on, this Security at the place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 2. Redemption. 
 The
Securities may be redeemed, as a whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the sole election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed and
(2) the sum of the present values, calculated as of the Redemption Date, of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the
Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to,
but not including, the Redemption Date. 
 On or after February 15, 2023, the Securities may be redeemed, as a whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, at the sole election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption
Date. 
 Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued
in the name of the Holder hereof upon cancellation hereof.

 3. Change of Control Offer. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Securities as described above, the Company will be required to make a Change of
Control Offer to each Holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to
offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be mailed to the Holders of
the Securities describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Securities on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no
earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice will, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of
Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 4. Indenture. 

The terms of the Securities 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.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for
a statement of those terms. The Securities issued under the Indenture are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. 

5. Paying Agent and Security Registrar. 
 The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency
where the Securities may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, U.S. Bank National Association, as its Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or
terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.

 6. Default. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

  
 5 








 7. Sinking Fund. 
 The Securities will not be subject to any sinking fund. 
 8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is
registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more Securities
of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. 
 No service charge shall be assessed against the Holder for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require from the Holder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

9. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 10. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 
 The Company, together with the Trustee, may modify the Indenture or the Securities, without the consent of the Holders of any Outstanding Securities, for certain specified purposes, including, among other
things, adding to the Company’s covenants or events of default, securing the Securities, appointing a substitute trustee, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, maintaining the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act, as amended, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Company of its obligations under the Indenture and making any change that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect.

 The Indenture also permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the
rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also

contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 11. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. 

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

sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Securities of this series to maturity or redemption.

Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

 16. Proceedings. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the
