 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

	1.	Securities. 

 This security (herein called the “Security”), is one of a duly
authorized issue of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series, pursuant to the Indenture dated as of May 20, 2015 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, 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 Company, the Trustee, and the Holders and of the terms upon which this Security is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof as “Floating Rate Notes
due 2018,” issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000. The Securities will be issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. All terms used in this Security which are
defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 2.         This Security is
subject to the covenants contained in the Indenture and certain additional covenants contained in the Officers’ Certificate dated May 20, 2015. 
  

	3.	No Sinking Fund 

 This Security will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 

 

	4.	Optional Redemption 

 There will be no optional redemption prior to maturity for this Security.

  

	5.	Interest 

 This Security will bear interest for each interest period at a rate determined by
the calculation agent on the interest determination date for such interest period. The calculation agent will be U.S. Bank National Association until such time as the Company appoints a successor calculation agent. The interest rate for a particular
interest period will be a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined on the interest determination date plus 0.270%. The interest determination date for an interest period will be the second London business day preceding the first day
of such interest period. The initial interest period for this Security will be the period from and including the original issue date to but excluding the initial interest payment date. Promptly upon determination, the calculation agent will inform
the trustee and the Company of the interest rate for the next interest period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the interest rates for this Security by the calculation agent shall be binding and conclusive on the holders of such Security,
the trustee and us. A London business day is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 







 On any interest determination date, LIBOR will be equal to the offered rate for deposits in U.S.
dollars having an index maturity of three months, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest determination date. If on an interest
determination date, such rate does not appear on the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, or if the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” is not available on such date, the calculation agent will obtain such rate from Bloomberg
L.P.’s page “BBAM.” 
 If no offered rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” or Bloomberg L.P.’s page
“BBAM” on an interest determination date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Company will select four major banks in the London interbank market and shall request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation
of the rate at which three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is representative of single transactions at that time.
If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the Company will select three major banks in New York City and shall request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered
by them at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months for the applicable interest period in an amount of at least
$1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the rate of LIBOR for the next interest period will be set equal to
the rate of LIBOR for the then current interest period. 
 All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for this
Security will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 3.876545% (or .03876545) would be rounded to 3.87655% (or .0387655)), and all
dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. 
 The interest rate on this Security will in
no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. 

Upon request from any Holder, the calculation agent will provide the interest rate in effect on the Security, for the current interest period
and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next interest period. 
 Interest on this Security will be paid to
but excluding the relevant interest payment date. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in an interest period and a 360-day year. 

If an interest payment date for this Security falls on a day that is not a business day, the interest payment date will be made on the next
succeeding business day unless such next succeeding business day would be in the following month, in which case, the interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding business day. 








	6.	Acceleration Upon Event of Default. 

 The Events of Default for this Security are as specified
in the Indenture. 
  

	7.	Amendment and Modification. 

 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 under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of outstanding securities of any series and affected by such modification or amendment (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such securities). 

 

	8.	No Impairment of Obligation to Pay or Right to Convert. 

 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, premium, if any, and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	9.	Transfer and Exchange. 

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Security shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar will register the transfer as
requested if the requirements of the Indenture are satisfied. When this Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange
as requested if the requirements of the Indenture are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate securities at the Registrar’s request. 

 

	10.	No Service Charge. 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection therewith. 
  

	11.	Treatment as Owner. 

 The registered holder of this Security will be treated as the owner of it
for all purposes. 








	12.	Payment of Interest. 

 The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on this Security in
immediately available funds to              or its respective nominees, as the case may be, as the registered holder of this Security. 

 

	13.	No Liability. 

 No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or
stockholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability (except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct) for any obligations of the Company under this Security or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting this Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Security. 

 

	14.	Governing Law. 

 THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
