 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of senior securities of the Issuers (herein
called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 28, 2008, as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture (herein so called) thereto, dated as of
December 9, 2021 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such Sixth Supplemental Indenture), between the Issuers and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee
(herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Indenture and the
terms of this Security, the terms of the Indenture control. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, the aggregate principal amount of which is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series
authorized for issuance pursuant to the Indenture is limited to the $650,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series initially authorized for issuance on the Issue Date plus such additional amounts of Securities of this series
as may be authorized for issuance from time to time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (except for Securities of this series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Securities of this series pursuant to the Indenture). 
 The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon prior notice, as
provided below, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company as set forth in Section 2.05 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. 

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 the cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for
defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants 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, or shall automatically become, 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 Issuers and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture
at any time by the Issuers and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture
also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at 

  
 6 












 
the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive
compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such
series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive 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 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 reasonably 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
Issuers, 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. 

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 Issuers 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 Issuers and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new 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 of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples 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. 

  
 7 












 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, except as provided in Section 4.08(b) of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers 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 be overdue, and neither the Issuers, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

This Security and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. 

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