THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01
Issuable in Series. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture is unlimited. The Notes may be issued in one or more Series. All Notes of a Series shall be identical except as may be set forth in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate detailing the adoption of the
terms thereof pursuant to the authority granted under a Board Resolution. In the case of Notes of a Series to be issued from time to time, the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture detailing the adoption of the terms
thereof pursuant to authority granted under a Board Resolution may provide for the method by which specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from which interest shall accrue) are to be determined. Notes may differ
between Series in respect of any matters, provided that all Series of Notes shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 2.02 Establishment of Terms of Series of Notes. 

At or prior to the issuance of any Notes within a Series, the following shall be established (as to the Series generally, in the case of
Subsection 2.02(a) and either as to such Notes within the Series or as to the Series generally in the case of Subsections 2.02(b) through 2.02(r)) by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth or determined in the manner provided in a Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to authority granted under a Board Resolution: 
 (a) the title
of the Series (which shall distinguish the Notes of that particular Series from the Notes of any other Series); 
 (b) the price or prices
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) at which the Notes of the Series will be issued; 

  
 6 

 (c) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the Series which may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the Series pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.11, 3.06 or 9.05);

 (d) the date or dates on which the principal of the Notes of the Series is payable; 

(e) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum or, if applicable, the method used to determine such rate or rates (including,
but not limited to, any commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index) at which the Notes of the Series shall bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest, if any, shall accrue, the date or dates on which
such interest, if any, shall commence and be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date; 

(f) the place or places where the principal of, premium and interest, if any, on the Notes of the Series shall be payable, where the Notes of
such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes of such Series and this Indenture may be served, and the method of such payment, if by wire
transfer, mail or other means; 
 (g) if applicable, the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and
conditions upon which the Notes of the Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company; 
 (h) the obligation, if
any, of the Company to redeem or purchase the Notes of the Series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and
conditions upon which Notes of the Series shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation; 
 (i) the dates,
if any, on which and the price or prices at which the Notes of the Series will be repurchased by the Company at the option of the Holders thereof and other detailed terms and provisions of such repurchase obligations; 

(j) the denominations in which the Notes of the Series shall be issuable, if other than minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof; 
 (k) the forms of the Notes of the Series in bearer or fully registered form (and, if in fully registered
form, whether the Notes will be issuable as Global Notes); 
 (l) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal
amount of the Notes of the Series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02; 

(m) the designation of the currency, currencies or currency units in which payment of the principal of, premium and interest, if any, on the
Notes of the Series will be made if other than U.S. dollars; 
 (n) the provisions, if any, relating to any security provided for the Notes
of the Series, and any subordination in right of payment, if any, of the Notes of the Series; 
 (o) any addition to or change in the Events
of Default which applies to any Notes of the Series and any change in the right of the Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Notes to declare the principal amount thereof due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02; 

(p) any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Articles 4 or 5 that applies to Notes of the Series; 

(q) any other terms of the Notes of the Series (which may modify or delete any provision of this Indenture insofar as it applies to such
Series); and 

  
 7 

 (r) any depositaries, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other
agents with respect to Notes of such Series if other than those appointed herein. 
 All Notes of any one Series need not be issued at the
same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to above, and, unless otherwise
provided, a Series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of additional Notes of such Series; provided, however, that if such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes of such Series for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, the additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. No Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate may affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise with respect to any
series of Notes except as it may agree in writing. 
 Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication. 

One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds
that office at the time such Note is authenticated, such Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note shall not be valid until authenticated
by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note, as applicable, has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes
for original issue in accordance with this Indenture. The Notes shall be dated their date of authentication. 
 The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company. 
 At any time and from
time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes of any Series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes,
and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order will authenticate and deliver such Notes. In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and
(subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: 
 (a) that such form has been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) that such terms have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (c) that the Indenture and such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and, with respect
to the Notes, when issued by the Company, in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity. 

Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The
Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents or change the office of such Registrar or Paying Agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes
any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to 

  
 8 

 
any Holder; however, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in each place of payment for the Notes of each Series. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of
any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.
The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes and this Indenture, including, but not limited to, determination of interest, additional amounts, redemption price, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on
the Notes. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the
Trustee in writing, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder of the Notes upon the
written request of such Holder. 
 Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the
benefit of Holders of any Series of Notes, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or interest on the Series of Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment.
While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. All payments to a Paying Agent on any
Notes which remain unclaimed for a period of two years after such payment was due shall be repaid to the Company. Thereafter, the Holder may look only to the Company for repayment. Upon payment over to the Trustee, or to the Company, as the case may
be, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of
any Series of Notes all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.06 Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Holders of each Series of Notes and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other
times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA
Section 312(a). 
 Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. 

Notes may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the Registrar or co-registrar designated by the Company. Where Notes of a Series are
presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for
such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable
upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 or 9.05). 
 Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue,
register the transfer of, or exchange Notes of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or a portion thereof, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being
redeemed in part. 

  
 9 

 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in
any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.08 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order together with such indemnity or security sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the
Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, shall authenticate a replacement Note of the same Series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. The Company may charge for its
expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note of any Series is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.09
Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for
those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set
forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.10 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

Section 2.11 Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

  
 10 

 Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 2.12 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. The Company may not issue new
Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. Cancelled Notes shall be disposed of by the Trustee pursuant to its standard procedures and, upon request by the Company, the Trustee shall deliver
a certificate or other evidence of such disposition. 
 Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders of the Series on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such
special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at
the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed (or, in the case of the Depositary with respect to any Global Note, sent electronically) to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of
such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.14 Global Notes. 

(a) Terms of Notes. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto, or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish whether the
Notes of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and shall name the Depositary for such Global Note or Notes. Except as provided herein, each Global Note shall be (i) registered in the name of the
Depositary, (ii) deposited with the Depositary or its nominee, and (iii) bear the legend indicated in Section 2.14(c). 
 (b)
Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.07 and in addition thereto, any Global Note shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.07 for Notes registered in the names of Holders
other than the Depositary for such Note or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to
the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes represented by such Global Note shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global Note
that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note with like
tenor and terms. 
 Except as provided in this Section 2.14(b), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary with respect to such Global Note to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary, or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such a successor Depositary. 

  
 11 

 (c) Legend. Any Global Note issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form: 
 “This Note is a Global Note within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is
registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Note is exchangeable for Notes 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, 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 a successor Depositary.” 
 (d) Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and
otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. The record date for purposes of determining the
identity of Holders entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture may be determined as provided for in Section 316(c) of the TIA. 

(e) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02,
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note at the close of business on the regular record date for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.13) any interest
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(f) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14(e), the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat
a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Notes of such Series represented by a Global Note as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Note, for purposes of obtaining any consents,
declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (g) Responsibility of Trustee or
Agents. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Depositary and
the Trustee and each Agent is hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and the Applicable Procedures. 
 Section 2.15 CUSIP
Number. 
 The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the
Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of
any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

Section 3.01 Notice to Trustee. 

The Company may, with respect to any Series of Notes, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Notes or may covenant to redeem and pay
the Series of Notes or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Notes. If a Series of Notes is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated
Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Notes pursuant to the 

  
 12 

 
terms of such Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Notes to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 15 days
prior to the mailing or sending of notice of redemption to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee). 

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes of a Series are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee (subject to the
applicable procedures of the Depositary) shall select the Notes of a Series to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes (a) in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the
Notes are listed or, (b) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes of a Series and portions of them selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000, or with respect to Notes of any Series issuable in other denominations
pursuant to Section 2.02(j), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes of a Series called for redemption or
repurchase also apply to portions of Notes of a Series called for redemption or repurchase. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of
Redemption. 
 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an
Officer’s Certificate, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or, in the case of the Depositary with respect to any Global Note, sent
electronically, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 
 The notice shall identify
the Notes of the Series to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price (or manner of calculation if not then known); 

(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(4) that Notes of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 (5) that interest on Notes of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(6) the CUSIP number, if any, provided that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if
any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; 
 (7) the conditions precedent, if any, to the redemption; and 

(8) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series of the Notes or the Notes of a Series being
redeemed. 
 At the Company’s request, and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 11.04 hereof at
least 15 days prior to the date notice is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), together with the notice to be given setting forth the information to be stated therein as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense. 

  
 13 

 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
on the redemption date at the redemption price. Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, a notice of redemption may not be conditional. 

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to
pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the Company complies with the
provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in
Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written
request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, or transfer by book-entry, at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 

No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part (or with respect to Notes of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to
Section 2.02(j), the minimum denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof). 
 ARTICLE 4 

COVENANTS

Payment of Principal and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series
of Notes that it will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Series of Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in such Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Series of Notes will be
considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and

 Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Notes that it will maintain an office or agency

Company in respect of such Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for such Notes of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails
to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

 Section 4.03 Reports. 

The Company will at all times comply with TIA § 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 Section 4.04
Compliance Certificate. 
 The Company and each guarantor of any Series of Notes (to the extent that such guarantor

the principal accounting officer, stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company
has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to the Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each
and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such
Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason
of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 4.05 Taxes. 

The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not, and each guarantor of such Notes will not, at any time
insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and the Company and each of such guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so), as applicable, hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee for such Notes, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 

Section 4.07 Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Articles 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 

(a) the corporate, partnership or other existence of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and

 (b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if an Officer shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

(a) merge or consolidate with or into another Person or Persons; or 

(b) sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its

the Company is merged or formed by such consolidation or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such merger, consolidation, sale,

this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on any

Series of Notes other than that Series), which default continues uncured for a period of 90 days after (i) the Company receives written notice from the Trustee for such Notes or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive written notice from

 (e) the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries:

what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

  
 17 

 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default
referred to in Section 6.01(e) or (f)) (in either case with respect to the Company) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of that Series may declare the
principal amount (or, if any Notes of that Series are Discount Notes, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Notes) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes of that Series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) (in either case with respect to the Company) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Notes of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if the rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree already rendered
and if all existing Events of Default with respect to that Series (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee
hereunder and the reasonable compensation expenses and disbursements of the Trustee and its agents and counsel have been paid. 
 No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.03 Other
Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of any Series as provided in Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes of any Series then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such Series waive any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series and its consequences
under this Indenture except (i) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of premium or interest on, or the principal of, the Notes of such Series (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or (ii) a Default or Event
of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 18 

 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series may in writing direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it, subject to Section 7.02(f). However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law
or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes of such Series (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether any such directions are
unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

A Holder of any Series of Notes may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 

(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series make a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60
days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) during such 60-day
period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 

A Holder of any Series of Notes may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of Notes or to obtain a preference or
priority over another Holder of Notes. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired
or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful,
interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee for each Series of Notes is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes of such Series allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes of such Series), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, 

  
 19 

 
receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of such Series
to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of such Series, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any
and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders of such Series may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities.

 If the Trustee collects any money or property with respect to a Series of Notes pursuant to this Article 6, or, after an Event of
Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof applicable to the Notes
of such Series, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second: to Holders of Notes of such Series for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note
pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders or group of Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series. 

Section 6.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders will be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

investigation. 

  
 22 

 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in the TIA it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not
be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other
than its certificate of authentication. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by any Notes. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice
of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice from Holders of the
Notes if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the
Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the
Trustee and the Company may agree from time to time in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

 (b) The Company will indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from and against any and all
losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this
Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent
any such loss, liability or expense may be 

  
 23 

 
attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company
will not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The
obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

(d) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or
properly held or collected by the Trustee. Such Lien will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) hereof occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

(f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

(g) “Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its
capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee
hereunder. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from
the trust hereby created with respect to one or more Series of Notes by so notifying the Company with 30 days prior notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series may remove the Trustee
by so notifying the Trustee and the Company with 30 days prior notice in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to one or more Series of Notes with 30 days prior written notice if:

appointed by the Company. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 

  
 24 

 (e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders.
The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all properly held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company will, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of such Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such Series, which will
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under
such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: 

  
 25 

 (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal
of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (b)
the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Article 8. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the
guarantors, if any, will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.03 and any other covenants specified in the applicable
Board Resolutions, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate as being subject to covenant defeasance pursuant to this Section 8.03, in each case, with respect to the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series on and after the date
the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act
of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for
accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth
in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, (i) the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not
constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(d) and (ii) Section 6.01 (f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only) and (g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only) shall not constitute an Event of
Default. 
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated
date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 
 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that: 
 (1) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

  
 26 

 (2) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial
owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material
agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(f) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and 

(g) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government
Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and
non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in
respect of the outstanding Notes of any Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law. 
 The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed
against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the
Holders of the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

  
 27 

 Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on, any Series of Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall, subject to applicable abandoned property law, be paid to the Company on its
request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the
date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07
Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s
and any applicable guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Notes and the guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes of one or
more Series without the consent of any Holder of Note: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained
herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to conform the provisions of this Indenture to the description of the Notes contained in the
prospectus or other offering document pursuant to which the Notes of one or more Series were sold, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate stating that such text constitutes an unintended conflict with the description of the corresponding
provision in the offering document; 
 (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(c) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company pursuant to
Article 5 hereof; 
 (d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of all or any Series of Notes
or that does not adversely affect the rights hereunder of any Holder in any material respect, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate; 

(e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 

(f) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Notes of any Series as permitted by this Indenture; 

  
 28 

 (g) to add guarantees with respect to the Notes of any Series or to provide security for the
Notes of any Series; or 
 (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the
Notes of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make
any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Notes of each such Series. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each Series, by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes of such Series) may waive
compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes with respect to such Series. 
 It shall not be necessary for
the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Upon the request of the
Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of
Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental
indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 

After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby
a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.
However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: 

(a) reduce the principal amount, any premium or change the Stated Maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to
the redemption or repurchase of the Notes; 
 (b) reduce the rate (or alter the method of computation) of or extend the time for payment of
interest, including defaulted interest, on any Note; 
 (c) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the
payment default that resulted from such acceleration; 
 (d) make the principal of or premium, if any or interest on any Note payable in
currency other than that stated in the Notes; 

  
 29 

 (e) change any place of payment where the Notes of any series or interest thereon is payable;

 (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of the Notes to
receive payments of principal of or premium, interest, if any, on the Notes and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payments; 

(g) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions; or 

(h) reduce the percentage in principal amount of any Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any of the foregoing
modifications or otherwise necessary to modify or amend the Indenture or to waive any past Defaults. 
 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust
Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes of one or more Series will be set forth in a supplemental
indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every
subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke
the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for Notes of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Notes of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver. 

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that it will be the legal, valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee
shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights. 

ARTICLE 10 
 SATISFACTION
AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 10.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to a Series of Notes issued hereunder, when: 

(a) either: 

  
 30 

 (1) all such Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed
Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(2) all such Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
sending of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such
Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
 (b)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or any guarantor, as applicable, is a party or by which the Company, or any guarantor, as applicable, is bound; 

(c) the Company or any guarantor of such Notes has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 

(d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Sections 10.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition,
nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. After the conditions to discharge contained in this Article
Ten have been satisfied, and the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, and delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to
satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied, the Trustee upon Company request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the obligations of the Company (except for those surviving obligations specified in this Section 10.01 and the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith). 
 Section 10.02
Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee;
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to
apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the Company’s and any applicable guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided
that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 WHEREAS, the Company desires to create and authorize
a series of Notes entitled “3.450% Senior Notes due 2025”, limited initially to $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (the “2025 Notes”), and to provide the terms and conditions upon which the 2025 Notes are to be executed,
registered, authenticated, issued and delivered, the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture; 

WHEREAS, the 2025 Notes are a series of Notes and are being issued under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, and
are subject to the terms contained therein and herein; 
 WHEREAS, the 2025 Notes are to be substantially in the form attached hereto as

and delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided in this Supplemental Indenture, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to make this Supplemental Indenture a legal, binding and enforceable agreement, have been done and
performed. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in order to declare the terms and conditions upon which the 2025 Notes are executed, registered,
authenticated, issued and delivered, and in consideration of the foregoing premises and the purchase of such 2025 Notes by the Holders thereof, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the

not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Indenture. 
 “Attributable
Indebtedness” in respect of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction means, as of the time of determination, (a) if the obligation in respect of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction is a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of such obligation
determined in accordance with GAAP and included in the financial statements of the lessee or (b) if the obligation in respect of such  

 
Sale/Leaseback Transaction is not a Capital Lease Obligation, the total Net Amount of Rent required to be paid by the lessee under such lease during the remaining term thereof (including any

Indenture compounded semiannually. 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(1) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is

indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company or other Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the assets of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to one or more “persons” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange
Act) (other than to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries); 
 (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into,
any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) or any such person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in either case, pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock
of the Company or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than pursuant to a transaction in which shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to
the transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; 

(4) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 

(5) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company are not Continuing Directors.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i) the Company becomes a direct

consisting of a majority of independent Continuing Directors or (3) was nominated for election, 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

2025 Notes or portions of 2025 Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as the Company’s own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal

stating the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes or portions of 2025 Notes being repurchased.

that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s
obligations under this Section 3 by virtue of any such conflict. 
 Section 4. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not,
and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue, incur, create, assume, guarantee or permit to exist any Indebtedness secured by Lien on any Principal Property, or shares of capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned
on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or thereafter acquired, unless the Company contemporaneously secures the 2025 Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Indebtedness; provided that any Lien created for the benefit of the
Holders of the 2025 Notes pursuant to this provision shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon release and discharge of the Lien that resulted in such provision becoming applicable. The preceding sentence shall not

 (a) Permitted Liens; or 

(b) Liens other than Permitted Liens, provided that the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness secured by Liens other than Permitted Liens
shall not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of such Lien. 

Section 5. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to create a Lien on such Principal Property securing Indebtedness in an
amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction without securing the 2025 Notes pursuant to Section 4 of this Supplemental Indenture or (b) the Company, within six months from the effective
date of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, applies to the voluntary defeasance or retirement of the 2025 Notes or other Indebtedness ranking pari passu with the 2025 Notes (excluding retirements as a result of conversions or pursuant to
mandatory sinking fund or mandatory prepayment provisions or by payment at maturity) an amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness in respect of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction; provided that the foregoing will not prevent the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary from (x) entering into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction involving a lease with a term of less than three years or (y) entering into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction between a Restricted Subsidiary and the Company or
between Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 6. SEC Reports.

Company will be deemed to have furnished such information, documents or reports referred to above to the Trustee if the Company has filed such information, documents or reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor system) or,
if at any time the Company is no longer subject to reporting under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not permitted to file such information, documents or reports with the SEC, if the Company posts such information, documents or
reports on the Company’s publicly available website and (ii) if at any time the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will not be deemed to have failed to
comply with any of its obligations under this Section 6(a) until 30 days after the date any information, document or report hereunder is required to be filed with the Trustee. 

(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of
such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under the Indenture or this Supplemental
Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed pursuant to the

aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes outstanding. 
 Section 8. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. The provisions of this

 Section 9. Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND
BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE 2025 NOTES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

Section 10. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of 2025 Notes. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the 2025 Notes other than with respect to the
Trustee’s authentication of the 2025 Notes and execution of this Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the 2025 Notes or the proceeds thereof. 

Section 11. Conflict with TIA. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of
the TIA that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Supplemental Indenture, the latter provisions shall control. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so
modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Supplemental Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 12. Counterparts. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF may be used in lieu of the originals shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS COMPANY 

3.450% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2025 
 1. This
Security is one of the duly authorized issue of notes or other debt instruments (hereinafter called the “Notes”) of the Company, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture dated as
of July 31, 2015, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (herein called the “Trustee”) and the First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 31, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations and duties thereunder of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, any Paying Agent for this Security, the Company and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes
are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered. 
 This Security is one of the series of Notes of the Company issued pursuant to the Indenture
designated as the 3.450% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). 
 2. A. The regular record date (the “Regular Record Date”) with
respect to any Interest Payment Date (as defined below) shall be the applicable date specified as such on the face hereof (whether or not such date shall be a Business Day (as defined below)) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Interest which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding such
Interest Payment Date. “Business Day” means, with respect to any Place of Payment, any day other than a Legal Holiday. 
 B. The
Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount at the rate per annum shown on the face hereof until the Principal Amount hereof is paid or made available for payment or upon earlier redemption or repayment. The Company will pay interest
semiannually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates set forth on the face hereof (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 1, 2016, and on the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue from and including the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Original Issue Date shown on the face hereof, to but excluding the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date. The amount of such interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any payment is required to be made in respect of this Security on a date (including
the Maturity Date, a redemption date, a Change of Control Payment Date or an Interest Payment Date) that is not a Business Day, the related payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment is due, and no
interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. 
 3. As long as the 2025 Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, all payments
of interest will be made by the Company in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. Otherwise, payments of interest on the 2025 

  
 A-4 

 
Notes due on Interest Payment Dates will be made by immediately available funds to accounts with financial institutions in the United States specified by the Persons entitled thereto by notice
given to the Paying Agent at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date or, if no such account is so specified, by check mailed to the Persons entitled thereto. Principal and any premium and (if such day is not an Interest
Payment Date) interest payable at the Stated Maturity, on redemption or repayment of a 2025 Note will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of such 2025 Note at the Place of Payment. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
will be the Paying Agent and the Registrar with respect to the 2025 Notes. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Registrar and to appoint additional or other Paying Agents and a
different Registrar and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Registrar acts; provided that the Company shall at all times maintain a Paying Agent and Place of Payment for the 2025 Notes. 

4. At any time and from time to time, the 2025 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on notice given as provided in the
Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
interest and principal thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the
Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 2025 Notes are redeemed on or after May 1, 2025 (the date that is three months prior to the
Maturity Date), the 2025 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. 

For purposes of determining the redemption price with respect to a redemption occurring prior to May 1, 2025 (the date that is three
months prior to the Maturity Date), the following definitions shall apply: 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United
States Treasury security or securities selected by a Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2025 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 a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such 2025 Notes. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the arithmetic average of the Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (B) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
arithmetic average of all such quotations for such redemption date. 

  
 A-5 

 “Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in
The City of New York. 
 “Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company;
provided, however, that if such Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers, and, in each case, their respective successors, plus one other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company; provided, however,
that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the
arithmetic 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 such Reference
Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury
Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) 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. 
 If less than
all of the 2025 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2025 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Indenture. 

Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in Section 3.03 of the Indenture. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the calculation of the redemption price for any such redemption. The Company shall calculate such redemption price and promptly notify the Trustee thereof. 

5. If an Event of Default with respect to the 2025 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and interest thereon of all of the 2025 Notes may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 6. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf
of the Holders of all Notes of such series. In addition, the Indenture permits the Company and the 

  
 A-6 

 
Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture, without the consent of Holders, for certain purposes, including to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained in the Indenture and to make changes that do not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding of
each series on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any 2025 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security or such other 2025 Notes. 
 7. 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 and any premium of and any interest on this Security at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture
prescribed. 
 8. The authorized denominations of the 2025 Notes are $2,000 and any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the
Indenture and except as provided therein and herein, the 2025 Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

9. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Note register, upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office of the Registrar or co-registrar designated by the Company for such purpose. Every 2025 Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if
so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or its
attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent
and any Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes (subject to Section 2.A hereof), whether or not such Security is overdue and notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of any 2025 Note, with certain exceptions, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 10. This Security is a
Global Note. Accordingly, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, 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 a successor Depositary. Ownership of beneficial 

  
 A-7 

 
interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to
interest of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of Persons other than participants). 
 So long as the
Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of this Security, the Depositary or that nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole legal owner or Holder of the 2025 Notes represented by this Security for all purposes of the 2025
Notes and the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Security (1) will not be entitled to have the 2025 Notes represented by this Security registered in their names, (2) will not receive or be entitled
to receive physical delivery of certificated securities and (3) will not be considered the owners or Holders of the 2025 Notes represented by that beneficial interest under the Indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of
any direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee. Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest in this Security must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if that Person is not a Depositary participant or indirect participant,
on the procedures of the participant through which that Person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder of 2025 Notes under the Indenture or this Security. 

Except as provided in Section 2.14(b) of the Indenture, beneficial interests in this Security may not be exchanged for certificated
securities. 
 Payments with respect to the principal of and interest on this Security will be payable by the Trustee to or at the direction
of the Depositary or its nominee in its capacity as the registered Holder of this Security under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may treat the Persons in whose names this Security are registered as the
owners hereof for the purpose of receiving payment thereon (except as provided in Section 2.A hereof) and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Company
or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in this Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests, (b) the payments to the beneficial owners of this Security of amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee or (c) any other matter relating to the actions or practices of the Depositary,
its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants. 
 11. Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 12. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE
2025 NOTES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
