 CARDINAL HEALTH, INC. 
 1.900% Note due 2017 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter
called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 2, 2008 (herein called the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered
by the Issuer to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate
principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise
vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 1.900% Notes due 2017 of the Issuer, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Issuer may, at any
time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Securities, issue further notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances,
the first interest payment date following the issue date of such further notes). Any such further notes, together with this Note, will form a single series of Securities under the Indenture. 
 1. Principal and Interest 
 The Notes will mature on June 15, 2017.

 In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing,
the principal hereof 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. 

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year. 
 2. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver 
 The Indenture contains provisions
permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided
in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce the rate
or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, or reduce or 

 
impair or affect the rights of any Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or any right of repayment at the option of the Holder, 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 Holder of each Security affected. It is also provided in the Indenture
that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the
Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case
may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution
herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes. 
 3. Optional Redemption

 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time, at a redemption
price equal to the greater of: 
 (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or 

(2) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
thereon (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 Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points,

 plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of the Notes being redeemed to the date of redemption. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed 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 terms of such Notes. 

  
 2 

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date,
(1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury
Dealer appointed by the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United
States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the
average, as determined by the Issuer, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 Notice to holders of Notes to be redeemed will be
delivered by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part. 

4. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control 
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Note, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require
the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). 
 Within 30 days
following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any proposed Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the proposed Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice (a
“Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and shall specify, without limitation, the
following: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

  
 3 

 (2) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day no
earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (3) the CUSIP numbers for the Notes; 
 (4) that any Note not tendered will
continue to accrue interest; 
 (5) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders whose Notes of any series are being purchased 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 in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; and 
 (7)
if the notice is mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

The Issuer 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 Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions hereof, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such conflict. 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

(2) 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; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The Paying
Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes of each series properly tendered the Change of Control Payment 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 the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 4 

 The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control
Repurchase Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means
the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the
occurrence of a 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). 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as
that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that
any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Issuer’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of
shares; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors cease to be Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if
(i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Voting Stock
immediately prior to that transaction. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change
of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of
determination, members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer who (1) were members of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or (2) were nominated for election or elected or appointed to such Board of Directors
with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election or appointment. 
 “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which term, when used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. 

“Fitch,” “Moody’s” and “S&P” mean Fitch Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc., respectively. 
 “Investment Grade”
means a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Fitch), Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); BBB- or better by S&P (or its
equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Issuer. 

  
 5 

 “Rating Agency” means (i) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and
(ii) 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 Issuer’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, or any successor definition, selected by the Issuer as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which term, when used herein, includes the rules and regulations
of the Commission promulgated thereunder. 
 “Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used
in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. 

5. Persons Deemed Owners 

The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the
absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and
subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

6. Transfers and Exchanges 
 The Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for
Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

any premium and interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 

  
 6 

 No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the
Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or
director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer 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

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter
called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 2, 2008 (herein called the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered
by the Issuer to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate
principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise
vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 3.200% Notes due 2022 of the Issuer, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Issuer may, at any
time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Securities, issue further notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances,
the first interest payment date following the issue date of such further notes). Any such further notes, together with this Note, will form a single series of Securities under the Indenture. 
 1. Principal and Interest 
 The Notes will mature on June 15, 2022.

 In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing,
the principal hereof 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. 

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year. 
 2. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver 
 The Indenture contains provisions
permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided
in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce the rate
or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, or reduce or 

 
impair or affect the rights of any Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or any right of repayment at the option of the Holder, 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 Holder of each Security affected. It is also provided in the Indenture
that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the
Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case
may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution
herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes. 
 3. Optional Redemption

 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time, at a redemption
price equal to the greater of: 
 (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or 

(2) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
thereon (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 Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,

 plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of the Notes being redeemed to the date of redemption. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed 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 terms of such Notes. 

  
 2 

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date,
(1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury
Dealer appointed by the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United
States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the
average, as determined by the Issuer, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 Notice to holders of Notes to be redeemed will be
delivered by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part. 

4. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control 
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Note, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require
the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). 
 Within 30 days
following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any proposed Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the proposed Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice (a
“Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and shall specify, without limitation, the
following: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

  
 3 

 (2) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day no
earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (3) the CUSIP numbers for the Notes; 
 (4) that any Note not tendered will
continue to accrue interest; 
 (5) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders whose Notes of any series are being purchased 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 in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; and 
 (7)
if the notice is mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

The Issuer 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 Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions hereof, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such conflict. 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

(2) 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; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The Paying
Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes of each series properly tendered the Change of Control Payment 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 the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 4 

 The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control
Repurchase Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means
the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the
occurrence of a 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). 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as
that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that
any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Issuer’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of
shares; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors cease to be Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if
(i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Voting Stock
immediately prior to that transaction. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change
of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of
determination, members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer who (1) were members of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or (2) were nominated for election or elected or appointed to such Board of Directors
with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election or appointment. 
 “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which term, when used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc., respectively. 
 “Investment Grade”
means a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Fitch), Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); BBB- or better by S&P (or its
equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Issuer. 

  
 5 

 “Rating Agency” means (i) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and
(ii) 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 Issuer’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, or any successor definition, selected by the Issuer as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which term, when used herein, includes the rules and regulations
of the Commission promulgated thereunder. 
 “Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used
in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. 

5. Persons Deemed Owners 

The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the
absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and
subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a

Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or
director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer 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.
