mailed or sent electronically pursuant to applicable DTC procedures to Holders of the Notes with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase
such Notes on the repurchase date specified in the applicable notice, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date on which such notice is mailed or sent (a “Change of Control Payment Date”).

 (c) The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned

(f) 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 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. 
 Section 3.02. Limitations on Liens.

Section 3.02 without equally and ratably securing the Notes if, at the time of such creation, assumption or permission, after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any Debt which is concurrently being retired, the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Debt secured by Liens which would otherwise be subject to such restrictions (not including Permitted Liens) plus all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions

Transactions with respect to any Principal Property (not including any Sale and Leaseback Transactions described under any of clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 3.03), plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debt secured

ARTICLE 6 

REDEMPTION 
 Section 6.01.
Optional Redemption.  
 (a) The Notes shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to February 1, 2030 (three months prior
to the maturity date) in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
 (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
to be redeemed; or 
 (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) from the redemption date through the stated maturity of the Notes being redeemed, in each case discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points. 

(b) The Notes shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time on or after February 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity date), in
whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

In each of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.01, the Company shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to,
but excluding, the date of redemption. 
 Section 6.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. The provisions of the first, third and fourth
paragraphs of Section 12.02 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following in respect of any optional redemption of the Notes: 

“Notice of redemption to the Holders of Notes to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Issuer shall be given by mailing
notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, or sending electronically pursuant to applicable DTC procedures, at least 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Notes at their last
addresses as they shall appear upon the Security register. Any notice which is given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice or any
defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. 

  
 9 













 The election of the Issuer to redeem any Notes shall be set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate which states that such election has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee at least 5 days prior to the date notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as described in the terms of the Securities, will be set forth in an
Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given (i) by the
Issuer or (ii) upon Issuer Order delivered to the Trustee together with such notice of redemption at least 5 days prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. 
 On or before 11:00 A.M., New York City time, of the redemption date
specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 3.04) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Notes so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for conversion into Common Stock) at the appropriate redemption price,
together with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If any Note called for redemption is converted pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent or so segregated and held in trust for the
redemption of such Note shall be paid to the Issuer upon the Issuer’s request, or, if then held by the Issuer, shall be discharged from such trust. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption (unless a shorter time period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.05) stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the
election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officer’s Certificate stating
that such restriction has been complied with.” 
 Section 6.03. Applicability of Sections of the Base Indenture. The provisions of Article
12 of the Base Indenture in respect of the Notes shall apply to any optional redemption of the Notes except when such provisions conflict with the foregoing. 

ARTICLE 7 

DEFEASANCE 
 Section 7.01.
Defeasance. If the Company shall effect a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article 10 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall cease to have any obligation to comply with the covenants set forth in Article 3 hereof. 

Section 7.02. Amendment of Section 10.01(b)(iv) of the Base Indenture. Solely for the purposes of the Notes,
Section 10.01(b)(iv) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended by replacing that section in its entirety with the following: 
 “the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee or a private letter ruling issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the beneficial owners
will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Issuer’s exercise of its option under this Section 10.01(b) and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount
and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised;” 

  
 10

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of the duly authorized securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued and to be issued in one or more series
under an Indenture dated as of December 6, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by a Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 29, 2020 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the
Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect
to the series of Notes represented hereby), 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 Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is a Global Note representing the Company’s 3.0% Senior Notes due 2030 in the aggregate principal amount of $[
]. 
 The amount of interest payable on any interest payment date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such interest payment date. 

The Notes of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above
that amount. 
 The Notes shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to February 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity
date), in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) from the redemption date through the stated maturity of the Notes being redeemed, in each case discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points. 

The Notes shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time on or after February 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity date), in whole
or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

In each case, the Company shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the debt securities. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any date of redemption, (1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
for the date of redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as Quotation Agent. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any of (1) BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and their
respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) at
least two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent 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 Quotation Agent by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that date of redemption. 












 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date of redemption, 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, for the maturity corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue;
provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the applicable 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 applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that date of redemption. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date. 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes as described above, the Company shall be
required to make an offer (a “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 on the terms set
forth herein. In a 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, but not
including, the repurchase date (a “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 or sent electronically pursuant to applicable DTC
procedures to Holders of the Notes with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the repurchase date specified in the
applicable notice, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date on which such notice is mailed or sent (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). 

The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the
Change of Control Triggering Event occurring prior to or on the applicable Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice. 
 On each Change of
Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer; (ii) 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 pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together
with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. 
 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. 
 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 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. 












 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(a) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of
related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and its Subsidiaries’ assets, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries; provided, however, that none of the
circumstances in this clause (a) shall be a Change of Control if the persons that beneficially own the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to the transaction own, directly or indirectly, shares with a majority of the total voting
power of all outstanding voting securities of the surviving or transferee person that are entitled to vote generally in the election of that person’s board of directors, managers or trustees immediately after the transaction; 

(b) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation), the result of which is that any person becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power
rather than number of shares; 
 (c) 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 immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or 
 (d) the adoption of a plan relating to the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 As used in this definition, the term “person” has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act. As used in this definition, the term “beneficial owner” has the meaning given thereto in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors. 

“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to
rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule
15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“Rating Event” means a decrease in the ratings of the Notes below Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any date
from the date that is 60 days prior to the date of the first public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following the consummation of such
Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings and its successors. 

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as

 The Notes are initially limited to $[ ] aggregate principal amount. The Company may from time to time,
without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes ranking equally with the Notes in all respects (or in all respects other than the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further
Notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further Notes). Such further Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the
Notes; provided that the Notes and such further Notes must be fungible with each other for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 The Notes are not entitled
to the benefit of any sinking fund. 
 The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to, among other things, merge or consolidate

Transactions. All such covenants and limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. 
 The Indenture contains provisions
for the defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set

 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 (subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture) be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions therein provided, the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Holders
of the outstanding Notes, to modify and amend the Indenture for the purpose of, among other things, curing any ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any provision contained in the Indenture which may be defective, mistaken or inconsistent with
any other provision contained in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive any past default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Notes or in
respect of a covenant or other provision which, under the terms of the Indenture, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note. 

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 interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the currency, herein prescribed. 
 No recourse
under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture, or in any Note, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past,
present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any
assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof. 

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

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