(a)           
     The Notes and the Trustee’s certificates of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to this First Supplemental Indenture, which are hereby incorporated into this First
Supplemental Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and
delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
 (b)               The Initial Notes were offered by the Company pursuant to a privately negotiated purchase
and exchange agreement, dated as of March 24, 2020, as supplemented by a supplemental agreement to purchase and exchange agreement, dated as of March 30, 2020. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes (if issued as Restricted Notes) (the
“Additional Restricted Notes”) will be sold initially only to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A. Such Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs, purchasers in reliance on
Regulation S and IAIs in accordance with Rule 501 under the Securities Act, in each case, in accordance with the procedure described herein. Additional Notes offered after the Issue Date may be offered and sold by the Company from time to
time in accordance with applicable law.
 Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes sold to QIBs in the United States in reliance on
Section (4)(a)(2) under the Securities Act shall be issued in the form of a permanent Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Rule 144A Notes”), which is hereby incorporated by reference and made

custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Rule 144A Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by the Depository’s rules
regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar,

 Any Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold outside the United
States (the “Regulation S Notes”) in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form of a permanent Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A including appropriate legends as set forth in
Section 2.1(c) (the “Regulation S Global Note”) within a reasonable period after the expiration of the Restricted Period (as defined below) upon delivery of the certification contemplated by
Section 2.8. Each Regulation S Global Note will be deposited upon issuance with, or on behalf of, the Registrar as custodian for the Depository in the manner described in this Article II. Prior to the 40th day after

for interests in a Global Note in accordance with the transfer and certification requirements described herein.
 Holders may hold their
interests in the Regulation S Global Note through organizations other than Euroclear or Clearstream that are participants in the Depository’s system or directly through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems,
or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. If such interests are held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear and Clearstream will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note on behalf of
their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries. Such depositaries, in turn, will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note in
customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of the Depository.

collectively herein referred to as the “Global Notes.”

counsel satisfactory to it to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act:

FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THIS SECURITY, REPRESENTS AND AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT IT IS (1) A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A OR (2) PURCHASING FROM A PERSON NOT
PARTICIPATING IN THE INITIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR SECURITY), THAT IT IS AN INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(l), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT

Each Global Note, whether or not an Initial Note, shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION
(“Depository”) 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 IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE DEPOSITORY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY), 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.
 TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO
TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF CEDE & CO. OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET

 (i)                 Each Global Note initially shall (x) be registered in the name of the
Depository or the nominee of the Depository, (y) be delivered to the Notes Custodian for the Depository and (z) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.1(c). Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein)
will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or its respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.1(d)(4) and 2.1(e). If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is
transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Notes Custodian will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer
or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or
exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, 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 and exchange
restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
 

 
	 	
11
	 


  


 

(ii)          
     Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this First Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by Depository or by
the Notes Custodian as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or
impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(iii)          
   In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(d) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Notes Custodian shall reflect on
its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount.
 (iv)             In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
Section 2.1(e), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified
by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

(v)           
    The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to
take under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.

(e)           
     Definitive Notes. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in
exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (A) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act, at a time when the Depository is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In
the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes. In

offering must, until one year after the last date on which either the Company or any affiliate of the Company was an owner of the Note, be in the form of a Definitive Note and bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions in
Section 2.1(e). If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may also obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with the
Depository’s and the Registrar’s procedures.

(i)           
      Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(e) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(e), bear the applicable legend
regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Note set forth in Section 2.1(e).
 (ii)               If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global
Note, the Registrar will (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or
exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the
principal amount not so transferred.

(iii)          
   If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the Registrar will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer)
or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled
Definitive Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
 

 
	 	
13
	 


  



(iv)          
   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this First Supplemental Indenture, in no event shall a Definitive Note be delivered upon exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note prior to the
end of the Restricted Period.

Section 2.2

October 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on October 15, 2020. The regular record date for interest payable on the Notes shall be the April 1 and
October 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on a day that is
not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment.

(c)           
     Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the existing Holders create and issue additional Notes (the
“Additional Notes”) having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects, except for issue date and the first payment of interest thereon. Such Additional Notes, at the
Company’s determination and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, will be consolidated with and form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation,
amendments, waivers and redemptions; provided that Additional Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP or ISIN, as applicable, as existing Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with the existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. Holders of the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes will vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the Initial Notes or the Additional Notes
shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. The aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes, if any, shall be unlimited.

Section 2.3         
   Denominations. The Notes will be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.4         
   Global Securities. The Notes will be issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for such Global Securities will be The Depository Trust Company in accordance with the Base Indenture.

Section 2.5         
   Payments.
 The principal and interest on Notes represented by Global Securities will be payable to the Depository or
its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Securities represented thereby. The principal and interest on Notes represented by Physical Securities will be payable, either in person or by mail, at
the office of the Paying Agent.

 Re:R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 This certificate is delivered to request a transfer
of $[_________] principal amount of the 8.50% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) of R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the “Company”).

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

Name:
                                       

Address:
                                       

Taxpayer ID Number:
                                       

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1.       We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” and we are acquiring the Notes not with
a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in
the Notes and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2.       We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so
registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date only (a) to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (b) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under
the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to
whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S. persons that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act,
(e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited
investor,” in each case for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of the Securities Act or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in
compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to
clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee and Registrar, which shall provide, among other
things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for
distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee and Registrar reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes
pursuant to clauses (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company.

we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction has been pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States;

Securities Act.
 In addition, if the sale is made during a restricted period and the provisions of Rule 903(b)(2), Rule 903(b)(3)

We also hereby certify that we [are][are not] an Affiliate of the Company and, to our knowledge, the transferee of the Notes [is][is not] an

personal liability upon the Trustee, unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it.

Article III


REDEMPTION

Section 3.1         
   Redemption.

(a)           
     Except as provided in this Article III, the Company shall have no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a
Holder thereof.

(b)           
    The Notes are subject to redemption at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of those payments of interest
accrued as of 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 the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus accrued interest to the
Redemption Date. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of such Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may, at
the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
 Section 3.2            Redemption Procedures. The Trustee will select Notes called for redemption in part on a pro rata
basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to procedures of the Depository); provided that Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in whole and not in part. In the case of Notes represented by
Physical Securities, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. In the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, the
outstanding principal amount of the Global Security representing the Notes will be reduced by book-entry. Notes called for redemption become due on the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, interest stops accruing on Notes or portions
of them called for redemption (unless there is a default in the payment thereof).

 (b)               Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 10 but not more than
60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed.

(c)           
     Any notice to holders of Notes of any redemption will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself. The actual Redemption Price, calculated as

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
 R. R.
DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY
 8.50% NOTE DUE 2029

1.           
       Interest. R. R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, as issuer (the “Company”), promises to pay, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment, interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 8.50% per annum. Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if
no interest has been paid, from and including March 30, 2020 to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2020. Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Notes.

2.           
       Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the April 1 and October 1
immediately preceding the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders do not have to surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay to the Paying Agent principal and interest in money of the
United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay, or cause to be paid by the Paying Agent, all
principal (and premium, if any) and interest on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make
interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders.
 3.                  Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National
Association (the “Trustee”) will act as a Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4.           
       Indenture. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture dated as of March 30, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 30,
2020, between the Company and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the
“Indenture”). This is one of an issue of Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms in the Indenture, and Holders are referred to
the Indenture for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
 5.                  Optional Redemption. The Notes of this series are subject to
redemption at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the
Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of those payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption)
discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. The Company may provide in
such notice that payment of such price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
 

 
	 	A-1-

Any notice to holders of Notes of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price,
but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself. The actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior
to the Redemption Date.

6.           
       Redemption Procedures. The Trustee will select Notes called for redemption in part pursuant to paragraph 5 on a pro rata basis (or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable), by
lot or any other method that the trustee deems to be fair and appropriate (subject to procedures of the Depository); provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note, or in the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, the outstanding principal amount of such Global Security will be reduced by
book-entry. Notes called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 hereto become due on the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, interest stops accruing on Notes or portions of them called for redemption (unless there is a default in the
payment thereof).

7.           
       Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 shall be mailed by first class mail at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

8.           
       Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Note, each Holder of Notes of this
series shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Notes at an offer price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment. The Change of
Control Offer will be made in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture.
 9.                  Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 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 to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

10.           
   Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.

11.           
   Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to
the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.

12.           
   Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company and the Trustee (if a party thereto) may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain
specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Company of its obligations under the Indenture and making any change that does not materially and
adversely affect the rights of any Holder. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Notes to be affected.
 13.              Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its
predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Base Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five of the Base Indenture, be released from those
obligations.

14.           
   Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of
the Base Indenture) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in
writing to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare due and payable, if not already due and payable, the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes; and upon any such
declaration all such amounts upon such Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an

Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal of and any accrued and unpaid
interest on all of the Notes shall immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee
may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power, provided, that the Trustee will be entitled to refuse to follow any such direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or could, in
reasonable likelihood, impose personal liability upon the Trustee, unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest on the Notes or a default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Company under Article Five of the Base Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.

15.           
   Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company
or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

16.           
   No Recourse Against Others. 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 Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liabilities. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

17.           
   Discharge. The Company’s 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 Notes
or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption.

18.           
   Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.
