Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in Rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control
Repurchase Event set forth in this Section 1.01) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in Rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the
reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time
of the Ratings Event). 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P. Morgan

 “Regular Record Date”
means, with respect to any Interest Payment Date for the Notes, the March 15 and September 15 immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 “Stated Maturity of the Notes” means April 1, 2020. 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to: (i) 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(519)” 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 U.S. 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 Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be
determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (ii) 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 Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its

ARTICLE 2 

5.625% SENIOR NOTES, SERIES V, DUE 2020 
 Section 2.01 Establishment. There is hereby established a new series of Securities to be issued under the Original Indenture, to be designated as the Corporation’s 5.625% Senior
Notes, Series V, due 2020 (the “Notes”). 
 There are to be initially authenticated and delivered $1,000,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes. Additional Notes, without limitation as to amount, and without the consent of the holders of the then outstanding Notes, but with the same terms as such outstanding Notes (except the issue price and the issue
date), may be authenticated and delivered in the manner provided in Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture and such additional Notes would constitute a single series with such outstanding Notes. In addition, additional Notes may be
authenticated and delivered except as expressly provided to the contrary in the Original Indenture. The Notes may be issued from time to time pursuant to a written order of the Corporation delivered to the Trustee for the authentication and delivery
of Notes pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Original Indenture. The Notes shall be issued in fully registered form without coupons. 
 The Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and the form of the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication for the Notes shall be in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit B hereto. 
 Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof. 

Section 2.02 Stated Maturity; Payment of Principal and Interest. 

(a) The date upon which the principal of the Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid
interest, is April 1, 2020. 
 (b) Each Note will bear interest at the rate of 5.625% per annum, from the Original
Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment, and at the same rate per annum on any overdue principal and premium, if
any, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) on any overdue installment of interest, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing
on October 1, 2013, to the person in which name such Note or any predecessor Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date. 

  
 5 







 (c) The amount of interest payable on any Notes for any period will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any Interest Payment Date, any redemption date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, such redemption date or the
Stated Maturity of the Notes, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on that next succeeding Business Day. 
 Payment
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such
purpose as described in Section 4.01 below; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Corporation by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the security
register; and, provided, further that, in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Notes are first surrendered to the Paying Agent. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the Notes are represented by Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee as the initial Securityholder of the Notes. 
 Section 2.03 Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Section 2.04 Global Notes. 
 The Notes will be issued initially in the form of one or more global securities (the “Global Notes”), without interest coupons, registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or
such other Clearing Agency as the Corporation may from time to time designate or its nominee. Unless and until they are exchanged for Notes in definitive registered form as described below, such Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in
part, only to the Clearing Agency or a nominee of the Clearing Agency, or to a successor Clearing Agency selected or approved by the Corporation or to a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency. 

If at any time (i) the Clearing Agency notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Clearing Agency for
the Global Notes and no successor Clearing Agency shall have been appointed within 90 days after such notification, (ii) the Clearing Agency at any time ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at any time the Clearing
Agency is required to be so registered to act as such Clearing Agency and no successor Clearing Agency shall have been appointed within 90 days after the Corporation’s becoming aware of the Clearing Agency’s ceasing to be so registered,
(iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, or (iv) the Corporation, in its sole discretion, determines that the Global Notes shall be so exchangeable, the Corporation will execute, and, subject to


  
 6 







 
Article II of the Original Indenture, the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order therefor, will authenticate and deliver the Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes. 
 Upon exchange of the Global Notes for such Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such Notes in definitive
registered form issued in exchange for the Global Notes shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Clearing Agency, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the
Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Notes to the Clearing Agency for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE 

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption Procedures for the Notes. 

The Notes are redeemable, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the Corporation’s option, at a redemption price equal
to the greater of: 
 (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or 

(b) 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), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate applicable to the Notes plus 50 basis points.

 In each case above, the Corporation will pay any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption. 
 In addition, at any time on or prior to April 1, 2016, the
Corporation may, at its option, on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering; provided that: 
 (a) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Eighth Supplemental Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

 (b) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

  
 7 







 The Corporation will mail notice of redemption at least 30 but not more than 60 days before
the redemption date to each holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the redemption price
and the place or places that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on any Notes that have been called for
redemption at the redemption date. 
 The Corporation may mail notice of redemption prior to the completion of any event or
transaction related to such redemption, and any redemption or notice may, at the discretion of the Corporation, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering. In addition, if such
redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the discretion of the Corporation, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be
satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. 

If less than all of the Notes are redeemed, the Trustee will be notified at least 45 days before giving notice of redemption, or such
shorter period as is satisfactory to the Trustee, of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption date. The Trustee will select by lot, or in such other manner it deems fair and appropriate, the Notes to be redeemed in
part. 
 If the Corporation gives notice as provided in the Original Indenture, and funds for the redemption of any Notes (or
any portion thereof) called for redemption will have been made available on the redemption date referred to in such notice, those Notes (or any portion thereof) will cease to bear interest on that redemption date and the only right of the holders of
those Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price. 
 The Corporation will notify the Trustee of the redemption
price promptly after the calculation thereof, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. Neither the Corporation nor the Trustee shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes redeemed pursuant to this
Section 3.01. 
 Section 3.02 Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event. 

(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Corporation has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in accordance with
this Article 3, it will make an offer to each Securityholder to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Securityholder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Corporation’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control,
the Corporation will mail a notice to each Securityholder, with a copy to the 

  
 8 







 
Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and (i) offering to repurchase the Notes on the repurchase date
specified in the notice, which date will be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, (ii) indicating that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment and any
Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest, (iii) specifying the CUSIP numbers for the Notes, (iv) stating that, unless the Corporation defaults in its payment in connection with the Change of Control Repurchase Event, all Notes
accepted for payment pursuant to the Corporation’s offer to repurchase such Notes will cease to accrue interest after such repurchase, (v) stating that Securityholders electing to have any Notes repurchased by the Corporation pursuant to
this Section 3.02 will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the repurchase date, (vi) stating that Securityholders
will be entitled to withdraw their election made pursuant to this Section 3.02 if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the repurchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of the Securityholder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for repurchase, and a statement that such Securityholder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes repurchased and (vii) stating that Securityholders
whose Notes of any series are being repurchased only in part will be issued new notes of such series equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion will be equal to $2,000 in principal amount
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (c) The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the
Change of Control, state that the Corporation’s offer to repurchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the repurchase date specified in the notice. The Corporation will cause its offer to purchase to
remain open for at least 20 Business Days or such longer period as is required by applicable law. The Corporation 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 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes set forth in this Section 3.02, the Corporation will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 3.02 by virtue of such conflict. 
 (d) On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the
Corporation will, to the extent lawful: 
 (i) accept for payment all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly
tendered pursuant to the Corporation’s offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the
aggregate repurchase price in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and 

  
 9 







 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly
accepted, together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Corporation. 
 (e) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Securityholder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book-entry) to each Securityholder a new Note of the same series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Corporation will publicly announce the results of its offer to repurchase the Notes on or as soon as practicable after the repurchase date. 

(f) The Corporation will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes 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 set forth in this Section 3.02 applicable to an offer made by the Corporation and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and
not withdrawn under such third party’s offer. 
 Section 3.03 No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not subject
to, and do not have the benefit of, any sinking fund.

CENTURYLINK, INC. 

5.625% SENIOR NOTE, SERIES V, DUE 2020 
 CenturyLink, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the “Corporation,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to             , or registered assigns, the principal sum of              DOLLARS ($
        ), on April 1, 2020 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Stated Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on said principal sum, from March 21, 2013 or from the next most
recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears, on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on October 1, 2013, at the rate of
5.625% per annum until the principal hereof shall have been paid or duly made available for payment and, to the extent permitted by law, to pay interest compounded semi-annually, on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue
installment of interest at the same rate per annum. 

  
 A-1








 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 Interest Payment Date, any redemption date or the Stated Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that payment was due and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, such redemption date or Stated
Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on that next succeeding Business Day. 
 The interest installment
so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the first day of the month in which such Interest Payment Date falls. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holders at the close of business on such Regular Record Date and may be paid by the Corporation to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a
special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, which shall not be more than 15 or less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of such proposed payment, and notice of which shall be given to the holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
 Principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for that purpose in the City of Monroe, State of Louisiana, or the
Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be
made at the option of the Corporation by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the security register; and provided further, that, in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, this
Note is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as this Note is represented by a Global
Note, payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee as the initial holder of this Note. 

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, senior and unsecured and will rank in right of
payment on parity with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Corporation. 
 REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE
FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES 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 by manual

 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Corporation (the
“Securities”) issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 31, 1994, as supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture”) dated as of March 21,
2013 (collectively, the “Indenture”), between the Corporation and Regions Bank (successor-in-interest to First American Bank & Trust of Louisiana and Regions Bank of Louisiana), as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Corporation, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities issued thereunder and of the terms upon which said Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof as 5.625%
Senior Notes, Series V, due 2020 (the “Notes”). Such series is being initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000. Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set
forth in the Indenture. 
 The Notes are redeemable, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the
Corporation’s option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (a) of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or (b) 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), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 50
basis points. In each case the Corporation will pay any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be redeemed to the date of redemption. 
 In addition, at any time on or prior to April 1, 2016, the Corporation may, at its option, on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption
price of 105.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering; provided that
(a) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Eighth Supplemental Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (b) the redemption occurs within 90 days of
the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 
 The Corporation will mail notice of redemption at least 30 but not more than
60 days before the redemption date to each holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the
redemption price and the place or places that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on any Notes that have
been called for redemption at the redemption date. 
 The Corporation may mail notice of redemption prior to the completion of
any event or transaction related to such redemption, and any redemption or notice may, at the discretion of the Corporation, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering. In
addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the discretion of 

  
 A-6








 
the Corporation, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the
event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. 
 If less than all of the Notes are redeemed, the Trustee will be notified at least 45 days before giving notice of redemption, or such shorter period as is satisfactory to the Trustee, of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption date. The Trustee will select by lot, or in such other manner it deems fair and appropriate, the Notes to be redeemed in part. 

If the Corporation gives notice as provided in the Indenture, and funds for the redemption of any Notes (or any portion thereof) called
for redemption will have been made available on the redemption date referred to in such notice, those Notes (or any portion thereof) will cease to bear interest on that redemption date and the only right of the holders of those Notes will be to
receive payment of the redemption price. 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Corporation has exercised
its right to redeem the Notes as described above, it will make an offer to each holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000) of such holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal
to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. 

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Corporation’s option, prior to any Change of
Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Corporation will mail a notice to each holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of
Control Repurchase Event and (i) offering to repurchase the Notes on the repurchase date specified in the notice, which date will be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed,
(ii) indicating that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment and any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest, (iii) specifying the CUSIP numbers for the Notes, (iv) stating that, unless the Corporation
defaults in its payment in connection with the Change of Control Repurchase Event, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Corporation’s offer to repurchase such Notes will cease to accrue interest after such repurchase, (v) stating
that holders electing to have any Notes repurchased by the Corporation will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the
repurchase date, (vi) stating that holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the repurchase date, a facsimile transmission or
letter setting forth the name of the holder of Notes, the principal amount of Notes delivered for repurchase, and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes repurchased and (vii) stating that holders whose Notes
are being repurchased only in part will be issued new Notes in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion will be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. 

  
 A-7








 The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control,
state that the Corporation’s offer to repurchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the repurchase date specified in the notice. The Corporation will cause its offer to purchase to remain open for at
least 20 Business Days or such longer period as is required by applicable law. The Corporation 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 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control
Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Corporation will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.02 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture by virtue
of such conflict. 
 On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Corporation will, to the extent
lawful: (a) accept for payment all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Corporation’s offer; (b) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price in respect of all the
Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and (c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being
purchased by the Corporation. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase
price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note of the same series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered, if any;
provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Corporation will publicly announce the results of its offer to repurchase the Notes on or as soon as practicable
after the repurchase date. 
 The Corporation will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes 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 applicable to an offer made by the Corporation and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and
not withdrawn under such third party’s offer. 
 The Notes are not subject to, the benefit of, and do not have, any sinking
fund. 
 In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Corporation and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected at the time outstanding, as defined in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating and
of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of 

  
 A-8








 
modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities, provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities or
any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security then outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the holders of Securities of such series, to waive any past default in the performance of
any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any of the
Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security
and of any Security issued in exchange hereof or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times and place and at the rate and in the currency herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in
the security register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation
and the security registrar and duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of this series, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holder of this
Note 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 Notes, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes 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 reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes 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 Note for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

  
 A-9








 Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent and any security registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue and notwithstanding the notice of ownership
or writing hereon made by anyone other than the security registrar, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or any premium or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the
Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, affiliate, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Corporation or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to the limitations therein and herein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering
the same upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Corporation. 
 This Note shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Louisiana.
