term means the office or agency of the Trustee at which at any particular time its corporate agency business shall be conducted.

respect of such Notes up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant Holder of such Notes.

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of five Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of

 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below), unless the
Company has defeased the Notes as described in the Indenture or has exercised its option to redeem the Notes as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in such Notes. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash

following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a
notice will be mailed to the Trustee and the Paying Agent and mailed, or delivered electronically if the Notes are held by DTC in accordance with DTC’s customary procedures, to Holders of the Notes, describing the transaction that constitutes

conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date. In addition, if such Change of Control Offer is subject to satisfaction of such condition that the Change of Control
Triggering Event occur on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days
after the date the notice of the Change of Control Offer was delivered) as such condition shall be satisfied or waived, or such Change of Control Offer may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that such condition shall not have
been satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in the Company’s good faith judgment such condition
will not be satisfied.
  
 On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or
portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of
Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

 
 The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party
makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will be required to comply with such securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its

Change of Control Offer provisions of this Note, the following terms will be applicable:
  
 “Board of Directors” means the board of
directors of the Company or any authorized committee thereof.
  
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of: (1) the direct or

Company’s subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any
person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock (as defined below) or other Voting
Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of
Control under clause ‎(2) above if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of another corporate entity and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such entity immediately following that
transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a corporate entity satisfying the requirements of
this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of such corporate entity. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in

	- 6 -
	  

	 

  
 “Rating Agencies” means(1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any
of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as
defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or any of them, as the case may be.

 
 “Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by each of the three Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below an
Investment Grade Rating by each of the three Rating Agencies, in any case on any day during the period (which period will be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the
Rating Agencies) commencing upon the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following the consummation of the Change of Control; provided,
however, that a Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Rating Event for purposes of the definition
of Change of Control Triggering Event) if such Rating Agency making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or
circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the rating event).

 
 “S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc., and its successors.

Act) as of any date, 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.
  

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.  The Notes will not be convertible or exchangeable.  
  

Sections 4.2(2) and 4.2(3), of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes; provided, that (i) upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have Section 4.2(3) apply with respect to any
Notes, the Company shall also be released from its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of Section 4.2 of the Indenture are satisfied and (ii) upon any
redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the
date of the notice of redemption (and calculated as though the Redemption Date were the date of such notice of redemption), with any deficit as of the Redemption Date only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption
Date.
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of
all the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such Act is made upon this Note.

unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium and, subject to certain qualifications in the Indenture, interest on this Note at the times herein and in the Indenture prescribed and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment unless the Holder of this Note shall have consented to the impairment of such right.
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Notes and of transfers of the Notes in the Security Register for the Notes.  This Note when presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar for this Note) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar for this Note duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
  
 The Notes are issuable only in

Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of

(including more than 60 days after the date the notice of the Change of Control Offer was delivered) as such condition shall be satisfied or waived, or such Change of Control Offer may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that
such condition shall not have been satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in the Company’s good
faith judgment such condition will not be satisfied.

extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control
Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.
  
 The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering
Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will be required to comply with such securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict and compliance.

“Board of Directors” means the board of directors of the Company or any authorized committee thereof.
  

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or

subsidiaries or (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock (as defined below) or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or
changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause ‎(2) above if (1) the Company becomes a
direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of another corporate entity and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such entity immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the
Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a corporate entity satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly,

 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors
Service, Inc. and its successors.
  
 “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and

organization” as defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or any of them,
as the case may be.
  
 “Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by each of the three Rating Agencies and the Notes
are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the three Rating Agencies, in any case on any day during the period (which period will be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible
downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) commencing upon the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following the consummation of the Change of
Control; provided, however, that a Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Rating Event for purposes
of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if such Rating Agency making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm that the reduction was the result, in whole or in

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.  The Notes will not be convertible or exchangeable.  
  

Sections  4.2(2) and 4.2(3), of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes; provided, that (i) upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have Section 4.2(3) apply with respect
to any Notes, the Company shall also be released from its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of Section 4.2 of the Indenture are satisfied and (ii) upon
any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of
the date of the notice of redemption (and calculated as though the Redemption Date were the date of such notice of redemption), with any deficit as of the Redemption Date only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption
Date.

unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium and, subject to certain qualifications in the Indenture, interest on this Note at the times herein and in the Indenture prescribed and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment unless the Holder of this Note shall have consented to the impairment of such right.
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Notes and of transfers of the Notes in the Security Register for the Notes.  This Note when presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar for this Note) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar for this Note duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
