		 	Authorized Signatory













 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the
“Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 2, 2022 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (herein
called the ‘“Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 2, 2022 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented
by the First Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, as
applicable. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA as in effect on the date the Indenture is qualified. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are
referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement of such terms. 
 The Notes of this series are subject to redemption prior to
February 15, 2027 (one (1) month prior their maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of
principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (A) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured
on the Par Call 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 less
(B) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

In addition, the Notes of this series are subject to redemption on or after the Par Call Date, at the Company’s option, in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

Notice of any redemption shall be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s
Applicable Procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. 

Any notice of redemption delivered pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental
Indenture, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of
such redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such notice may be rescinded and the redemption terminated in the
event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. The Company shall notify Holders of any such rescission as soon as practicable after the Company determines
that such conditions precedent will not be able to be satisfied or the Company is not able or willing to waive such conditions precedent. If the giving of notice of redemption is completed as provided in the Indenture, interest on such Notes or
portions of Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the applicable redemption date, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the applicable redemption price, including any accrued interest with respect to any such Note or portion thereof.

 In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion
hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at
any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture 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 Notes to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on
behalf 











 
of the Holders of all Notes, 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 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of
this Note 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 Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes 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 indemnity or security satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the
enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

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