Date, the Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, other than the property, if any, specified in such clauses and improvements thereto, and provided further that any refinancing or replacement of any mortgages permitted by the foregoing clauses (7) and
(8) shall be of the type referred to in such clauses (7) or (8), as the case may be. 
 Notwithstanding the restrictions outlined in the
preceding paragraph, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to issue, incur, create, assume or guarantee Secured Debt, which would otherwise be subject to such restrictions, without equally and ratably securing the Securities,
provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Secured Debt (not including mortgages permitted under clauses (1) through (11) above) does not exceed the greater of $500 million and 10% of the Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets of the Company as most recently determined on or prior to such date. 
 For purposes of this Section 1008: 

(i) “Secured Debt” means any debt for borrowed money secured by a mortgage upon any Principal Property of the Company or any

(ii) “mortgage” means a mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance. 

(e) Section 1009 of the Base Indenture (Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions) is hereby amended by deleting the text of
Section 1009 in its entirety and replacing it with the following text: 
 The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property, other than any such transaction involving a lease for a term of not more than three years or any such transaction between the Company and a
Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries, unless: (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a mortgage on the Principal Property involved in such


  
 - 11 - 












 
transaction at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the Securities, pursuant to
Section 1008; or (2) the Company shall apply an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of such sale and the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction within 180 days of such sale to either (or a
combination of) the retirement (other than mandatory retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by a payment at maturity) of debt for borrowed money of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that matures more than 12 months after
the creation of such indebtedness or the purchase, construction or development of other comparable property. 
 Notwithstanding the
restrictions outlined in the preceding paragraph, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to enter into Sale and Lease-Back Transactions which would otherwise be subject to such restrictions, without applying the net proceeds of
such transactions in the manner set forth in clause (2) above, provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such Sale and Lease-Back Transactions, together with the aggregate amount of all Secured Debt not permitted by
clauses (1) through (11) under Section 1008, does not exceed the greater of $500 million and 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company as most recently determined on or prior to such date.

thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as applicable, 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 shall 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 Sections 304 and Section 305 of the Base Indenture and Section 2.2(c) of this Appendix A. 
 (c) Book-Entry
Provisions. This Section 2.1(c) 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(c) and Section 303 of the Indenture and pursuant to a Company Order signed by one authorized officer of the Company, authenticate and deliver initially one or more

 A-1 












 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have
no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as Custodian or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company

Appendix A, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Notes. 
 Section 2.2
Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are
presented to the Security Registrar with a written request: 
 (i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

(ii) 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) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a
Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, together with written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its
books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with
such increase, the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount
of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial
interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If the applicable Global Note is not then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 
 (c) 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 in Section 2.2(d) of this Appendix A, 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
such Global Note, or another Global Note, and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal
to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. 

  
 A-2 












 (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 2.3 of this Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is 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. 
 (d)
[Reserved] 
 (e) Legends. 
 Each
Definitive Note shall bear the following legend (“Definitive Notes Legend”): 
 IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER
WILL DELIVER TO THE SECURITY REGISTRAR SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH SECURITY REGISTRAR MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS. 

Each Global Note shall bear the following legend (“Global Notes Legend”):

(“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO DTC, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF. 
 Each Note shall bear the following additional legend (“ERISA
Legend”): 
 BY ITS ACQUISITION OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN, THE HOLDER THEREOF WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND
WARRANTED THAT EITHER (1) NO PORTION OF THE ASSETS USED BY SUCH HOLDER TO ACQUIRE OR HOLD THIS SECURITY CONSTITUTES THE ASSETS OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE U.S. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974,
AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), OF A PLAN, INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”) OR PROVISIONS UNDER ANY OTHER

(f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for
Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes
represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect
such reduction. 
 (g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate,
Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Security Registrar’s request. 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 and 1107 of the Base Indenture). 

(iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Security Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Note and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(iv) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and
shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (h) No Obligation
of the Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a
member of, or a participant in the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with
respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All
notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The
rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying
upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine
the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Definitive Notes. 
 (a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian pursuant to Section 2.1
may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with

continuing and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depository. In addition, any Affiliate of the Company that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to
such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note by providing a written request to the Company and the Trustee and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by the Indenture or the Company or Trustee.

Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of

 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                    , or registered assigns, the principal sum of          Dollars
($            ) or such other amount indicated on the Schedule of Exchange of Global Notes attached hereto on October 2, 2023 (if such date is not a Business Day, payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest for the Securities will be paid on the next Business Day); provided, however, that no interest on that payment will accrue from and after October 2, 2023, and to pay interest thereon from
April 9, 2020, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on April 2 and October 2 in each year, commencing October 2, 2020, at the rate of 4.450% per annum,
until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest 











 
Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Holders of this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest, which shall be the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 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 Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) 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 Securities of this series not less than 10 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 on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Interest on the Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date for the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

 So long as all of the Securities of this series are represented by Global Securities, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if
any, on this Global Security shall be paid in same day funds to the Depositary, or to such name or entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary. If at any time the Securities of this series are no longer represented
by the Global Securities and are issued in definitive form (“Certificated Securities”), then the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each Certificated Security at Maturity shall be paid to the Holder upon
surrender of such Certificated Security at the office or agency maintained by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be the principal corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., as Trustee) or at such other place or places as may be designated in or pursuant to the Indenture, provided that such Certificated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, acting as Paying Agent, in time for the Paying Agent to make such
payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest with respect to Certificated Securities other than at Maturity may, at the option of the Company, be made by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as it appears on the Security Register on the relevant Regular or Special Record Date or by wire transfer in same day funds to such account as may have been appropriately designated to the Paying Agent by such Person in writing not
later than such relevant Regular or Special Record Date. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on
the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual or electronic signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

“Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture,” and
together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto 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

Prior to the Par Call Date, the Securities will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option,
at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
 (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; and 

(ii) the sum, as determined by the Company based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present value of the of
the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to that would be due if the Securities matured on the Par Call Date, (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 Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, 

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

On or after the Par Call Date, the Securities will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s
option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Company will calculate the redemption price. 

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the
Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities (or such portion
thereof) called for redemption and such Securities will cease to be outstanding. If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Company will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment due to the
delay. 
 If fewer than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any time, not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, the
particular Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Securities not previously called shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC or by lot. No Securities of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. 

In the case of any redemption, the Security Registrar will not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Security: 

(i) during a period beginning 15 days before the day of sending of the relevant notice of redemption and ending on the close of
business on that day of sending; or 

  
 - 11 - 












 (ii) if the Company has called the Security for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United
States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker, in accordance with customary financial practice, as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (assuming for this purpose that the Securities matured on the Par Call
Date) (the “Remaining Life”) of the Securities to be redeemed. 
 “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 Company obtains fewer than
four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker”
means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC and any other primary treasury dealer selected by the Company (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) and their respective successors which the Company specifies from time to time; provided, however, that if any of them
ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a
percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“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” 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 Securities 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 semiannual 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. 

The Indenture contains provisions, which will apply to the Securities, for defeasance and covenant defeasance and Events of Default with
respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities 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 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 more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be 

  
 - 12 - 












 
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 or transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 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 indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities 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 Security 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 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 interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. 
 This Security shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all
purposes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of said State, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof. 

All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

Purchase of Securities upon a Change of Control Triggering Event 

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs after the date hereof, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities, the
Company will make an offer to each Holder of Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of Securities repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase. 

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after
the public announcement of the transaction or event that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each holder to which the Company is required to make a repurchase offer as described above, with a copy
to the Trustee, describing the transaction or event that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Securities on the 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 may, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event
occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. 
 On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company
shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (i) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities (in a minimum principal
amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Company’s offer; 

  
 - 13 - 












 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase
price in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn; and 
 (iii) deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased by the Company. 

The Paying Agent will promptly send to each Holder of Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn the purchase price for such Securities,
and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any such Securities surrendered; provided that each new Security
will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company will not be required to
make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase 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 such third
party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 The Company will 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 Securities as a result of
a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this provision, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this provision by virtue of any such conflict. 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence
of any of the following after the date hereof: 
 (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by
way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” or “group”
(as those terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including,
without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of the
Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;
(3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock
or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction
constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, immediately after
giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption by the Company of a plan providing for the Company’s liquidation or
dissolution. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be considered to be a Change of Control under clause (2) above if
(a) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b) (y) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the
same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (z) immediately following that transaction, no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), 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 the holding company.
