OF

BIOSCRIP, INC.

 

Pursuant to Section 151 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

 

The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that
the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of BioScrip, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), with the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, having been fixed by the
Board pursuant to authority granted to it under Article FIFTH of the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (as amended through the date hereof, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and in accordance
with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware:

 

RESOLVED: That, pursuant to authority conferred
upon the Board by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board hereby authorizes 825,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation and hereby fixes the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such shares, in addition
to those set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, as follows:

 

Defined terms used, but not separately defined
herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Section 10 of this Certificate of Designations.

 

Section 1.            Number
and Designation. The shares of such series shall be designated “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,” and
the number of shares so designated shall be 825,000 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board and the approval by the holders of the Series
A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 5(b)(iii) hereof; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares of such series then outstanding. Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

Section 2.            Ranking.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank
senior to the common stock of the Corporation, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and each
other class or series of shares of the Corporation that the Corporation may issue in the future the terms of which do not expressly
provide that such class or series ranks equally with, or senior to, the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights
and/or rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution (such junior stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as “Junior
Stock”).

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with
respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank equally with each other class or series
of shares of the Corporation that the Corporation may issue in the future the terms of which expressly provide that such class
or series shall rank equally with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding
up or dissolution (“Parity Stock”).

 

The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with
respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank junior to each class or series of shares
of the Corporation that the Corporation may issue in the future the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series
shall rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution
(“Senior Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock shall also rank junior to the Corporation’s existing and
future Indebtedness.

 

Section 3.            Dividends.

 

(a)          Regular
Dividends. 

 

(i)          The
Corporation may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of Series A Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by the Board
and permitted by the DGCL, out of any funds that are legally available therefor, at the rate of eight and one-half percent (8.5%)
per annum on the Liquidation Preference then in effect (as defined in Section 4(a) below) (a “Cash Dividend”)
before any dividends shall be declared, set apart for or paid upon the Junior Stock. Following the Issue Date, on or before the
third (3rd) Business Day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter of the Corporation, the Corporation shall determine its intention
whether or not to pay a Cash Dividend with respect to such ensuing fiscal quarter and shall give notice of such intention to each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that with respect to the
period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on March 31, 2015, the Corporation does not intend to pay a Cash Dividend.

 

(ii)         In
the event the Corporation does not declare and pay a Cash Dividend pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), the Liquidation Preference shall
be increased to an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference in effect at the start of the applicable Regular Dividend Period,
plus an amount equal to such then applicable Liquidation Preference multiplied by eleven and one-half percent (11.5%) per annum,
computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable Regular Dividend
Period to the applicable date of determination (the “Accrued Dividend” and together with the Cash Dividend,
the “Regular Dividends”).

 

(b)          Participating
Dividends. In the event that the Corporation shall, at any time, pay a dividend or make a distribution, whether in cash, in
kind or other property, on the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options
or other rights where the dividended stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is Common
Stock or stock that ranks equally with or junior to the Common Stock; in which case an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion
Price in accordance with Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), as applicable), the Corporation shall, at the same time, pay to each holder
of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend equal to the dividend that would have been payable to such holder if all (i.e., without
regard to any restrictions on conversion (including the Conversion Cap) at such time) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
Beneficially Owned by such holder had been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 immediately prior to the applicable
record date for determining the stockholders eligible to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Participating Dividends”
and, together with the Cash Dividends, the “Dividends”).

 

    	-2-

    	 

    

 

(c)          Dividend
Payment Dates. If and to the extent declared by the Board, Cash Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears on January 1,
April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year (unless any such day is not a Business Day, in which event such dividends
shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day, without accrual to the actual payment date), commencing on March 9, 2015
(each such payment date being a “Regular Dividend Payment Date,” and the period from the Issue Date to March
31, 2015 and each full quarterly period thereafter being a “Regular Dividend Period”). Participating Dividends
shall be payable if, as and when paid to the holders of shares of Common Stock (each such date being a “Participating
Dividend Payment Date,” and, together with each Regular Dividend Payment Date, a “Dividend Payment Date”).
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require declaration or payment of any cash Dividends on the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.

 

(d)          Accrual
of Dividends. If declared, the Cash Dividend shall begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable Regular Dividend Period.
Cash Dividends are noncumulative. If applicable, the Accrued Dividend (i) shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on the first
day of each applicable Regular Dividend Period and shall remain accumulated dividends with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock
until paid and (ii) shall compound at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent Regular Dividend Payment Date. Accrued
Dividends shall accrue whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment
of dividends. Any Cash Dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) for any period shall be computed
on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(e)          Partial
Payments of Dividends. When Cash Dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends
declared on Series A Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock shall be paid pro rata so that the amount of dividends so declared
on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other
the same ratio as accumulated dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such other class or series of Parity Stock
bear to each other.

 

(f)          Priority
of Series A Preferred Stock Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividends on shares of Common Stock unless
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall simultaneously receive Participating Dividends. From and after
the time, if any, that the Corporation shall have failed to pay on the date set for payment any Cash Dividend declared by the Board
for any applicable Regular Dividend Period, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment, or other distribution
declared or made, upon any Junior Stock, nor shall any Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration
(nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such Junior Stock)
by the Corporation, directly or indirectly until all such Cash Dividends have been paid in full, without the approval of holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock, as provided in Section 5(b)(iv) hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation
shall not apply to: (i) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of Junior Stock that are approved by the Board and
made in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or
more employees, officers, directors, managers or consultants of or to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) an exchange,
redemption, reclassification or conversion of any class or series of Junior Stock solely for any class or series of Junior Stock;
or (iii) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividended stock or the stock issuable
upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks
equal or junior to that stock.

 

    	-3-

    	 

    

 

(g)          Dividend
Rate Adjustment. In the event that Stockholder Approval has not been obtained on or before September 30, 2015 (the “Stockholder
Approval Deadline”), then: (i) the dividend rate with respect to Cash Dividends on each such share of Series A Preferred
Stock automatically (without any further action) shall increase to the rate of thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) per annum,
and (ii) the dividend rate with respect to Accrued Dividends on each such share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically (without
any further action) shall increase to the rate of sixteen and one-half percent (16.5%) per annum, in each case, commencing on the
day after the Stockholder Approval Deadline.

 

(h)          Forfeiture
of Certain Cash Dividends. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any Cash Dividends or any other cash
dividend to the extent provided in Section 4(a).

 

Section 4.            Liquidation,
Dissolution or Winding Up.

 

(a)          
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (each, a “Liquidation Event”),
after satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations to creditors of the Corporation and distribution of any assets of the Corporation
to the holders of Senior Stock, and before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of any Junior Stock, each holder
of Series A Preferred Stock, at their election, shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds
thereof (whether capital, surplus or earnings) legally available therefor, (xx) an amount in cash per share of Series A Preferred
Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference or (yy) assuming notice of conversion has been given by the holder of the Series
A Preferred Stock, such amount payable (in the same form of consideration payable upon shares of Common Stock) per share of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof immediately prior to such Liquidation
Event (in either case, the “Liquidation Amount”). As used in this Certificate of Designations, the term “Liquidation
Preference” shall mean $100.00 (the “Issue Price”), as such amount may be adjusted from time to time pursuant
to Section 3(a)(ii);  provided, however, that if, at any applicable date of determination of the Liquidation
Preference hereunder, (i) any Cash Dividend has been declared by the Board  but is unpaid or (ii) the Corporation has given
notice (or failed to give such notice) of its intention to pay a Cash Dividend pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) but such Cash Dividend
has not yet been declared by the Board, then Cash Dividends described in the foregoing clause (i) and Cash Dividends described
in the foregoing clause (ii) shall be deemed, for purposes of calculating the applicable Liquidation Preference, to be Accrued
Dividends, determined and calculated as of the first day of any Regular Dividend Period in which the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii)
shall apply.   Upon (1) payment of the Liquidation Amount pursuant to this Section 4 or (2) the determination of the
Liquidation Preference for purposes of a conversion or redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 or
Section 7 hereof, as applicable, shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have received such payment of the Liquidation Amount or
the Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, or that are being so converted or redeemed shall not be entitled to any Cash Dividends
described in the foregoing clause (i), even if outstanding on the record date set for payment of such Cash Dividends, or Cash Dividends
described in the foregoing clause (ii). If, in connection with any distribution described in the first sentence of this Section
4(a), the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference then in effect
and the corresponding amounts payable on the Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed to the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the Parity Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the Parity Stock would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(a)
and the certificate of designations (or other governing instrument) of the Parity Stock, respectively.

 

    	-4-

    	 

    

 

(b)          After
the payment of the full Liquidation Preference of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 4(a), the assets of
the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into Common Stock after the payment of the Liquidation
Preference pursuant to Section 4(a) above, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not participate in any distribution
made to the holders of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(b).

 

(c)          The
occurrence of a Change of Control (but solely to the extent contemplated by clause (ii) of the definition thereof) shall be deemed
a Liquidation Event hereunder (a “Deemed Liquidation Event”), unless such treatment is waived in writing by
holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, in accordance with their election pursuant to Section 4(a) above, shall receive payment of the Liquidation Preference
in cash upon such Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

Section 5.            Voting
Rights.

 

(a)          General
Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to vote with the holders of shares of Common Stock (and any other class or series that may similarly be entitled to vote with the
holders of Common Stock) and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, and
may act by written consent in the same manner as the holders of Common Stock. In the event of any such vote or action by written
consent, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to the whole number
of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible
(pursuant to Section 6 hereof) as of the Close of Business on the record date fixed for such vote or such written consent;
provided, however, that, prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially
Owned by a holder of Series A Preferred Stock or any of their respective Affiliates may only be voted to the extent that the aggregate
voting power of all of the Corporation’s Voting Stock that is Beneficially Owned by a holder and their respective Affiliates
does not exceed 19.99% of the aggregate voting power of all of the Corporation’s Voting Stock outstanding on the applicable
record date for determining stockholders who may vote with respect to any proposal (the “Voting Cap”). The Series
A Preferred Stock shall immediately and permanently cease to be subject to the Voting Cap upon any Termination Event, other than
a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event. In connection with any vote or action by written consent with respect to the Stockholder
Approval, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be considered for purposes of any such affirmative vote or action by
written consent. Subject to the foregoing, each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number
of votes equal to the largest number of full shares of Common Stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held of record
by such holder could then be converted (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Preference then in effect
for purposes of the Conversion Rate, any Conversion Price adjustments made pursuant to Section 8, and, if applicable, the
Voting Cap) at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to such matters. The holders
of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation
(the “Bylaws”).

 

    	-5-

    	 

    

 

(b)          Separate
Vote of Preferred Stock. In addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by applicable law, unless waived in writing
by holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the vote or written consent
of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be necessary
for effecting or validating the following actions (whether taken by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise):

 

(i)          Any
change, amendment, alteration or repeal (including as a result of a merger, consolidation, or other similar or extraordinary transaction)
of any provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that amends or modifies, in a manner adverse to, in any material
respect, the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock;

 

(ii)         Any
authorization, designation, recapitalization, whether by reclassification, by merger or otherwise, or issuance of any new class
or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Corporation having rights, preferences or
privileges senior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (including additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock);
provided that no such vote shall be required for the Company to issue and sell up to 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock in a rights offering made to all holders of Common Stock of the Company, if consummated within 180 days of the Issue
Date;

 

(iii)        Any
increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

 

(iv)        Any
redemption, repurchase or other acquisition, or payment of dividends or other distributions, by the Corporation with respect to
any securities of the Corporation that constitute Junior Stock, except as permitted by Section 3(f);

 

(v)         The
entry by the Corporation into any contract, agreement, arrangement, or understanding that would prohibit or otherwise restrict
the Corporation from performing its obligations to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock under this Certificate of Designations,
the Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise; 

 

    	-6-

    	 

    

 

(vi)        The
entry by any Subsidiary into any contract, agreement, arrangement, or understanding that would prohibit or otherwise restrict the
payment of dividends or the making of distributions to the Corporation, other than the Credit Facility or the Indenture;

 

(vii)       The
issuance by the Corporation of equity or securities convertible into equity of the Corporation at a price that is more than 25%
below fair market value of such equity or securities at the time of issuance thereof;

 

(viii)      Any
voluntary initiation of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation but only if such liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation would result in each holder of the Series A Stock not having the option to receive a distribution
equal to the full Liquidation Preference in accordance with Section 4(a) above; or

 

(ix)         Any
Deemed Liquidation Event, but only if as a result of the Deemed Liquidation Event each holder
of the Series A Stock would not have the option to receive a distribution equal to the full Liquidation Preference in accordance
with Section 4(a) above. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the voting rights of the Series A Stock shall not apply with respect to
any Deemed Liquidation Event that is effected by the holders (or any administrative or collateral agent acting on their behalf)
of the Indebtedness under either the Credit Facility or the Indenture in the exercise of their rights and remedies with respect
to, or in connection with the satisfaction of all or a portion of the obligations under, the Credit Facility or the Indenture,
including, without limitation, any consensual or non-consensual debt restructuring, recapitalization, reclassification, exchange,
merger, consolidation, sale of assets, liquidation or similar transaction (a “Creditor Deemed Liquidation Event”),
unless the Creditor Deemed Liquidation Event is required by applicable law to be approved by the holders of Common Stock
in order to be effective.

 

(c)          Board
of Directors. So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Voting
Stock of the Corporation (on an as converted basis) are outstanding, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, by the vote
or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall have the right to designate one (1) member to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in addition to such members as are
elected by holders of Common Stock of the Corporation. Subject to applicable law (including the listing standards of The Nasdaq
Stock Market), the director designated to the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall also be
appointed to a minimum of two committees of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at such director’s request.

Section 6.            Conversion.

 

(a)          Optional
Conversion by Holders. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6, any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock may, at the option of the holder thereof, be converted at any time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.
Upon conversion, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate (as defined in and determined as provided for in Section 6(d)) then in effect, by the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, as set out in Section 8(i);
provided, however, that prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially
Owned by any such holder of Series A Preferred Stock or its Affiliates may not be converted pursuant to this Section 6(a) to the
extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such holders and its Affiliates would Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, in
excess of 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Conversion
Cap”); provided, further, that for purposes of determining the Conversion Cap pursuant to any provision of this Certificate
of Designations, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by a holder of Series A Preferred Stock or any
of its respective Affiliates shall include (i) the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by such holder or any of
its respective Affiliates as a result of prior conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or Warrants (excluding shares of Common Stock
that could be acquired upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of the immediately preceding proviso
is being made. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the occurrence of the first vote of the stockholders of
the Corporation with respect to the Stockholder Approval, no Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock.

 

(b)          Optional
Conversion by the Corporation. If, at any time following the third anniversary date of the Issue Date, the VWAP of the Common
Stock equals or exceeds three (3) times the Conversion Price for a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the Business Day immediately
following such 30th Trading Day, the “Corporation Conversion Date”), and if the Corporation shall so elect,
any or all shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted automatically (and without further action following any such election)
into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate then in effect, by the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, as set out in Section 8(i)
(the “Corporation Conversion”); provided, however, that prior to the receipt of the Stockholder
Approval, the Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates may not be converted
into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b) to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the number of shares
of Common Stock, in the aggregate, issuable upon such conversion would be in excess of the Conversion Cap. The Series A Preferred
Stock shall immediately and permanently cease to be subject to the Conversion Cap upon any Termination Event, other than a Liquidation
Event or Deemed Liquidation Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may not elect a Corporation Conversion at any
time during the period (the “Standstill Period”) commencing on the earlier of (1) the date that the Corporation
shall have made a public announcement and (2) the date that such information is otherwise made public, that the Corporation is
in negotiations relating to, or has entered into, a definitive agreement with respect to a transaction constituting a Deemed Liquidation
Event and ending on the date of the first to occur of (i) the consummation of such transaction and (ii) the date that the Corporation
shall have made a public announcement that any such definitive agreement or the negotiations relating thereto has been terminated.
For purposes of calculating the next available Corporation Conversion Date, the VWAP shall not be deemed to equal or exceed three
(3) times the Conversion Price at any time during the Standstill Period.

(c)          Optional
Special Dividend and Conversion on Certain Change of Control. At the written election (including written notice to the Corporation)
by holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon the occurrence of a Change
of Control pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof (but solely in connection with a transaction that is a third party
tender offer that is publicly disclosed and approved (or recommended to stockholders of the Corporation) by the Board and does
not otherwise contemplate any other transaction that would constitute a Change of Control apart from clause (i) of the definition
of thereof):

 

(i)          the
Board shall, subject to applicable law, declare and the Corporation shall pay a special cash dividend (as such may be adjusted
pursuant to this Section 6(c), the “Special Dividend”) on each share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of any
funds that are legally available therefor (the “Legally Available Funds”), in the amount of the Liquidation
Preference per share then in effect with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that to the
extent the Legally Available Funds are not sufficient to pay the Special Dividend in full (the amount of such shortfall being referred
to as a “Funds Shortfall”), the aggregate Special Dividend in respect of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock
and any special dividend applicable to Parity Stock shall be reduced to an aggregate amount equal to the Legally Available Funds
and the Special Dividend (as so reduced) and any applicable special dividend with respect to Parity Stock shall be paid to the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the Parity Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the Parity Stock would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 3(e) and the
certificate of designations (or other governing instrument) of the Parity Stock, respectively; and

 

(ii)         as
of the payment date of the Special Dividend, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically shall be converted
(without further action) into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate
then in effect, by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, as
set out in Section 8(i); provided; however, that for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate as applicable to
this Section 6(c)(ii), the aggregate Liquidation Preference on each share of Series A Preferred Stock and the liquidation preference
on each share of any applicable Parity Stock as provided in the certificate of designations (or other governing instrument) of
such Parity Stock shall be increased by the Funds Shortfall applicable to each such share.

 

(d)          Conversion
Rate and Conversion Price. The conversion rate in effect at any applicable time for conversion of each share of Series A Preferred
Stock into Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference
then in effect by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially
be $5.17 (the “Conversion Price”). Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance
with Section 8. All references to the Conversion Price herein shall mean the Conversion Price as so adjusted.

 

(e)          Conversion
Procedures. In order to exercise the conversion privilege set forth in Section 6(a) with respect to any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held in book-entry form with the Depositary Trust Company or its successor (“DTC”), a holder
must comply with DTC’s procedures for converting any shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  In order to exercise the conversion
privilege set forth in Section 6(a) with respect to any certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a holder must do each
of the following in order to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

 

    	-9-

    	 

    

 

(i)          complete
and manually sign the conversion notice provided by the conversion agent, and deliver such notice to the conversion agent;

 

(ii)         deliver
to the conversion agent the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted (or,
if such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and indemnity in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation);

 

(iii)        if
required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation;
and

 

(iv)        if
required, pay any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6(i).

 

(f)          Effect
of Conversion. Effective immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date applicable to any shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, dividends shall no longer accrue or be declared on any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such shares
of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding.

 

(g)          Record
Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and, to the
extent applicable, cash, payable in lieu of fractional shares, upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock on any applicable Conversion
Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock and/or cash as of the Close of Business
on such Conversion Date. As promptly as practicable on or after the applicable Conversion Date and, in the case of a conversion
pursuant to Section 6(a), compliance by the applicable holder with the relevant conversion procedures contained in Section 6(e)
(and in any event no later than three Trading Days thereafter), the Corporation shall issue the number of whole shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion (and deliver payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares). Such delivery of shares of Common Stock
shall be made, at the option of the applicable holder, in certificated form or by book-entry. Any such certificate or certificates
shall be delivered by the Corporation to the appropriate holder on a book-entry basis or by mailing certificates evidencing the
shares to the holders at their respective addresses as set forth in the conversion notice. If fewer than all of the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by any holder hereto are converted pursuant to this Section 6, then book-entry shares
(or, if elected by the holder, a new certificate) representing the unconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued
to such holder concurrently with the issuance of the certificates (or book-entry shares) representing the applicable shares of
Common Stock. Any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares shall be delivered to the applicable holder at the address for such
holder as set forth in the conversion notice. In the event that a holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which
shares of Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares and, if applicable, cash should be delivered, the Corporation
shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares and, if applicable, cash in the name of the holder and in the manner shown
on the records of the Corporation.

(h)          Status
of Converted or Acquired Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock duly converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations,
or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever, shall be retired promptly after the conversion or acquisition

of preferred stock of the Corporation, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a
particular series by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(i)          The

valid, accurate and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8,
as applicable.

 

(ii)         The
Corporation shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issue or transfer tax due on (A) the issue of the Series

the case of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock in a name other
than that of the holder of the shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person
requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of
the Corporation that such tax or duty has been paid.

 

Section 7.            Redemption.

 

(a)          Redemption
at the Option of the Holder Upon a Change of Control. 

 

(i)          Upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control (other than (A) a Change of Control constituting a Deemed Liquidation Event (unless such
Deemed Liquidation Event is waived as provided in Section 4(c)) and (B) a Change of Control resulting in a conversion under Section
6(c)) and subject to applicable law and the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all outstanding Indebtedness and other
obligations under the Credit Facility (and the termination of all commitments thereunder) and the Indenture (and the termination
of all commitments thereunder), each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that remain outstanding thereafter, if any, shall
have the right to require the Corporation to redeem, in full, out of funds legally available therefor, by irrevocable written notice
to the Corporation, all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the
Liquidation Preference then in effect per share of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

    	-11-

    	 

    

 

(ii)         Within 30 days
of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall send notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the
Corporation stating (A) that a Change of Control has occurred, (B) subject to (x) the prior indefeasible payment in full
of all outstanding Indebtedness and other obligations under the Credit Facility (and the termination of all commitments thereunder),
if required by the terms thereof and (y) the consummation of a Change of Control Offer under the Indenture (as defined in the Indenture),
if required by the terms thereof, that all shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered prior to a Business Day no earlier than 30 days
nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed shall be accepted for redemption and (C) the procedures
that holders of the Series A Preferred Stock must follow in order for their shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed,
including the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered (or an indemnification undertaking as reasonably
determined by the Corporation with respect to such certificates in the event of their loss, theft or destruction) for payment of
the redemption price. Any notice mailed as provided in this subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in
the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity
of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(b)          Redemption
at the Option of the Holder Other Than Upon a Change of Control. 

 

(i)          Subject
to applicable law, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at any time from and after the tenth (10th) anniversary date
of the Issue Date, shall have the right to request that the Corporation redeem, in full, out of funds legally available therefor,
by irrevocable written notice to the Corporation, all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption
price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference then in effect per share of the Series A Preferred Stock. Such notice shall
be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Corporation, and shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given on the day the notice is mailed to the Corporation, whether or not the Corporation receives such notice. Each notice of redemption
given to the Corporation shall state: (A) the redemption date and (B) the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be
redeemed. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption in the notice.

 

(ii)         If

Business Days notify such holder, by irrevocable written notice to such holder, of (A) its election to redeem such shares of Series
A Preferred Stock pursuant to the notice and (B) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered (or
an indemnification undertaking as reasonably determined by the Corporation with respect to such certificates in the event of their
loss, theft or destruction) for payment of the redemption price.

 

    	-12-

    	 

    

 

(iii)        If
the Corporation elects not to exercise its option to redeem a holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the
notice provided by such holder pursuant to Section 7(b)(i), then, upon receipt of such notice, the Corporation shall within three
(3) Business Days notify such holder, by irrevocable written notice to such holder, of its election not to so redeem such shares
of Series A Preferred Stock. In such an event, the Conversion Price then in effect with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock subject to the notice provided by such holder pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall, as of the date the Corporation provides
notice to such holder pursuant to this Section 7(b)(iii), be decreased to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price then in effect
and (B) 80% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the date such holder duly gives notice
to the Corporation pursuant to Section 7(b)(i).

 

(iv)        If
the Corporation does not provide notice to such holder pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii) or 7(b)(iii), then the Corporation will be
deemed to have not elected to exercise its option to redeem a holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the
notice provided by such holder pursuant to Section 7(b)(i), and the Conversion Price then in effect with respect to the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock subject to the notice provided by such holder pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall, as of the date the
holder provided notice to the Corporation pursuant to Section 7(b)(i), be decreased to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price then
in effect and (B) 80% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the date such holder duly gives
notice to the Corporation pursuant to Section 7(b)(i).

 

(v)         Any
adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7(b)(iii) or 7(b)(iv) shall be in addition to any adjustments to the Conversion
Price pursuant to Section 8 herein.

 

(c)          Redemption
at the Option of the Corporation. Subject to applicable law, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in whole
or in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at any time from and after the tenth (10th) anniversary date of the Issue
Date, at the option of the Corporation, upon giving notice of redemption pursuant to Section 7(d), at a redemption price per
share equal to the Liquidation Preference then in effect per share of the Series A Preferred Stock. 

 

(d)          Notice
of Redemption at the Option of the Corporation. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to
Section 7(c) shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed
at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days
and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section 7(d)
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give
such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series A Preferred
Stock. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number
of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price; and (iv) the place or places where certificates
for such shares are to be surrendered (or an indemnification undertaking as reasonably determined by the Corporation with respect
to such certificates in the event of their loss, theft or destruction) for payment of the redemption price.

 

    	-13-

    	 

    

 

(e)          Partial
Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding pursuant to
this Section 7, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall
have the power and authority to prescribe reasonable and customary terms and conditions upon which shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, then book-entry
shares (or, if elected by the holder, a new certificate) shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the
holder thereof.

 

(f)          Effectiveness
of Redemption. Notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation,
on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for
redemption shall be retired as provided for in Section 6(h) and such shares will no longer be issued and outstanding and all rights
with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof
to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without interest.

 

Section 8.            Anti-Dilution
Provisions.

 

(a)          Adjustment
Upon Common Stock Event. Upon the (i) the issuance by the Corporation of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or
other similar distribution on outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock (other than such events wherein the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate therein
pursuant to Section 3(b)) (each, a “Common Stock Event”) after the Issue Date, the Conversion Price shall, simultaneously
with the happening of such Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
Common Stock Event by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price.
The Conversion Price shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event.

 

(b)          Adjustments
for Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the Corporation pays a dividend
or makes another distribution to the holders of the Common Stock payable in securities of the Corporation, other than an event
constituting a Common Stock Event and other than such events wherein the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate therein
pursuant to Section 3(b), then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, the amount
of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock
on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the applicable Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable
by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 8 with
respect to the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities by their terms.

 

    	-14-

    	 

    

 

(c)          Adjustment
for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class
or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than by a Common Stock Event described in
Section 8(a) or as described in Section 8(b)), then in any such event each holder of such Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of
Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

 

(d)          Reorganizations,
Mergers and Consolidations. If at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, there is a reorganization of the Corporation
(other than as described in Section 8(a), (b) or (c)) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation
(except, for all purposes of this Section 8(d), a Deemed Liquidation Event that is not waived as provided in Section 4(c)), then,
as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that the holders of such Series A Preferred
Stock shall then have the right to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such reorganization, merger or consolidation by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of
Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation, all subject
to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof. In any such
case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 8 with respect to the rights of
the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of
this Section 8 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable.
This Section 8(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations. The Corporation shall not effect
any such reorganization, merger or consolidation unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor entity (if other than the
Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger shall assume by written instrument the obligations of the Corporation
under this Certificate of Designations.

 

(e)          Successive
Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 8, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment
under this Section 8 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Price as so adjusted.

 

(f)          Multiple
Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant
to this Section 8 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment,
shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided, however, that if more than one subsection of this Section 8
is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.

 

    	-15-

    	 

    

 

(g)          Notice
of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided under this Section 8, the Corporation shall as soon
as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Corporation is not aware
of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware):

 

(i)          compute
the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 8 and prepare and transmit to the conversion agent
an officer’s certificate setting forth the applicable Conversion Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail,
and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

 

(ii)         provide
a written notice to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail
setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted
applicable Conversion Rate.

 

(h)          Conversion
Agent. The conversion agent, if other than the Corporation, shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any
holder of Series A Preferred Stock to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the applicable Conversion
Price or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed
in making the same. The conversion agent, if other than the Corporation, shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on
any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8(g) and any adjustment contained therein and the conversion
agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The conversion
agent, if other than the Corporation, shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of
any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, that may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Series
A Preferred Stock; and the conversion agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The conversion agent, if other than the
Corporation, shall not be responsible for any failure of the Corporation to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the
Corporation contained in this Section 8.

 

(i)          Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock as provided herein. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable, holders
of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock, multiplied
by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date. In order to determine
whether the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a holder of Series A Preferred Stock upon the conversion of such
holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock will include a fractional share (in lieu of which cash would be paid hereunder),
such determination shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such holder that are being converted
on any single Conversion Date.

 

    	-16-

    	 

    

 

Section 9.            Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and payment
of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights, not less than such aggregate
number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8) upon
the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder (and all dividends payable
in the next twelve (12) months, assuming all such dividends will be Accrued Dividends), assuming for the purposes of this calculation
that at all times the Stockholder Approval has been obtained and that the Conversion Cap does not apply. The Corporation shall
comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all the then-outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder (and all dividends payable
in the next twelve (12) months, assuming all such dividends will be Accrued Dividends), the Corporation shall take such corporate
action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be
sufficient for such purpose. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued in connection with the conversion provisions set forth
herein will, upon issuance by the Corporation, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

LINCOLN NATIONAL CORPORATION 

3.350% Senior Note due 2025 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series hereinafter specified, all issued and to
be issued under the Senior Indenture, dated as of March 10, 2009 (hereinafter the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (hereinafter the “Trustee”, which term includes
any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holder of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which different series may vary as provided in the
Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities of the Company designated as its 3.350% Senior Notes due 2025 (herein called the “Notes”), limited initially in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000, except as
otherwise provided in the Indenture. The Notes of this series are issuable in registered form only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, upon mailed
notice to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption. The redemption price will be the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and
(ii) the make-whole amount, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. “Make-whole amount” means the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the Notes, discounted to the
date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable treasury rate plus 20 basis points. 

“Comparable treasury issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by a reference treasury dealer as having
an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes called for redemption, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities with a term comparable to such period. 
 “Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to a
redemption date, (1) the average of five reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the quotation agent obtains fewer than five such
reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations. 

 “Quotation agent” means the entity appointed by the Company,
which in any case shall not be the Trustee, to determine the make-whole amount. 
 “Reference treasury
dealer” means (1) Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. AND (2) any additional primary U.S. government securities dealers, including dealers outside New York City (each, a “primary treasury dealer”)
selected by the Company and their successors, provided, however, that if any of them ceases to be a primary treasury dealer the Company will substitute another primary treasury dealer. 

“Reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the quotation agent, of the bid and ask prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the quotation agent at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Remaining scheduled
payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes called for redemption that would be due after the related redemption date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an Interest Payment
Date with respect to the Notes called for redemption, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on such Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such redemption date. 

“Treasury rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that redemption date) 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 that redemption date. 
 The Company will prepare and mail a notice of redemption
to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. On and after a redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption (unless the
Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). On or before a redemption date, the Company will deposit with a paying agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the
Notes to be redeemed on that date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee pro rata or by lot or by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. 

The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund. If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Notes, the principal of
the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture
contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the Notes, upon which the Company, at its option, shall be deemed to have been discharged from its 

 
obligations with respect to the Notes or shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected by such amendment or supplement voting as one class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to,
among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency. Subject to certain exceptions, any past default or Event of Default may be waived by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
affected on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of that series or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all the Outstanding Securities voting as one class. After the amendment or supplement is effective, any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereunder or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note or upon any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof. 

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

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Security
Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for transfer at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge will be made for any such transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the interest on,
this Note or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in any manner in respect hereof, or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor
or, except as provided in the Indenture, successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitutional provision or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or in any other manner, all such liability being
expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.
