Notes are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.01(a), the Notes of the series to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in accordance with Section 11.3 of the Indenture; provided that if at the time of redemption
the Notes of the series to be redeemed are registered as a Global Note, the Depository shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of the Notes of the series to be redeemed held by each Holder of such Notes to be
redeemed. The Optional Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon,

 (b) Notice of any
redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall be given as provided in Section 11.4 of the Indenture except that any notice of such redemption pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i) shall not specify the related Optional Redemption Price but

be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding
the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a

rights of Holders of the Notes of such series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred with respect to the Notes of a series, or at
the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of the Notes of such series, with a

Notes of a series if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered of such series and
not withdrawn under its offer. 
 (d) The Company shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes of such series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the
extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or 

  
 -9- 

 
regulations conflict with this Section 3.03, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 3.03 by virtue of any such conflict. 
 (e) The following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 3.03(e):

 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following after the Issue Date: (1) the direct or indirect
sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any
“person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any
merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, it being agreed that an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for
whom shares are held under an employee stock ownership, employee retirement, employee savings or similar plan and whose shares are voted in accordance with the instructions of such employee shall not be a member of a “group” (as that term
is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) solely because such employee’s shares are held by a trustee under said plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of the Company’s Voting Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates
with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other
property, other than any such transaction where the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged for, Voting Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of the
Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) during any period of 24 consecutive calendar months, the majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company shall no longer be composed
of individuals (a) who were members of the board of directors of the Company on the first day of such period or (b) whose election or nomination to the board of directors of the Company was approved by individuals referred to in clause
(a) above constituting, at the time of such election or nomination, at least a majority of the board of directors of the Company; or (5) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means, with respect to the Notes of a series, the Notes of such series cease to be rated
Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control)
and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a
possible ratings change). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for the Notes of a series at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes of such series will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by such Rating Agency
during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been
consummated. 
 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor
rating category of Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies
selected by the Company under the circumstances permitting it to select a replacement agency and in the manner for selecting a replacement agency, in each case as set forth in the definition of “Rating Agency.” 

  
 -10- 

 “Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided that if
any of Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors, the Company may appoint another “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act as a
replacement for such Rating Agency; provided that the Company shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee. 

“Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of such Person that is at the time entitled to
vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such Person. 
 Section 3.04. No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not
entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
