 2.    The Notes are unsubordinated and will rank equally with all of the
Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Subordinated debt will rank junior to the Notes and the Company’s other senior debt. 

3.    The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that initially may be issued under the Indenture, in
connection with the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2018, among the Company and certain underwriters named therein, is $600,000,000, and the Stated Maturity of the Notes is October 1, 2048. The Notes shall be offered to the

at the rate of 4.300% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning April 1, 2019. Interest payable on each Interest Payment
Date will include interest accrued from and including October 4, 2018, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to but excluding such Interest Payment
Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Holder in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the respective
Interest Payment Date. The payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes shall be payable to the Holders of the Notes on a Special Record Date established therefor pursuant to the Indenture, or shall be paid at any time in any other lawful manner,
all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
 5.    Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)

Company as may be maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. So long
as the Notes remain in book-entry form, all payments of principal and interest will be made by the Company in immediately available funds. 

6.    The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity at the Company’s option, at any time in whole
or from time to time in part. Prior to April 1, 2048, the Redemption Price will be equal to the greater of: 

(a)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and 

(b)    as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (as defined below), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. 
 At any time on or after April 1, 2048, the Redemption Price
shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, for any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield
to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date; 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) that would be used, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed; 
 “Comparable
Treasury Price” means, for any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date;

“Quotation Agent” means any Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company to act as a quotation agent; 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, and TD Securities

dealer (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer; 

  
 2 

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the
Trustee at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, by such Reference Treasury Dealer on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date; and 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of
the principal and interest on such Note that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled
interest payment on such Note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such Note to such Redemption Date. 

7.    In the case of a partial redemption of the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee in accordance with the procedures of the Depository from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption
Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption will state the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for the cancellation of the original Note. A partial redemption will not reduce the portion of any Note not being redeemed to a
principal amount of less than $2,000. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of the Notes called for redemption. 

8.    Section 703 of the Indenture is replaced with the following in its entirety for purposes of the Notes
only: 
 The Company shall: 

(1)    file with the Trustee, within 30 days after the Company has filed the same with the Commission,
unless such reports are available on the Commission’s EDGAR filing system (or any successor thereto), copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the

time in such rules and regulations;

accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required

 (3)    transmit to all Holders, as their names
and addresses appear in the Security Register, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be
filed by the Company pursuant to Subsections (1) and (2) of this Section 703 as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission. 

9.    The Company has no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any mandatory
redemption or sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the Holder thereof. 
 10.    The
entire principal amount of the Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture.

Notes shall be U.S. Bank National Association. The Security Register for the Notes shall be initially maintained at, and the place where such Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be, the Trustee’s Corporate
Trust Office located at 1349 West Peachtree Street, Suite 1050, Atlanta, Georgia 30309. 
 13.    The
Notes will be issued in registered permanent global form and each evidenced by a global security (together, the “Global Securities”) in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit II-A
and Exhibit II-B, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon
such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with any rules of any securities exchange or to conform to
general usage, all as may be determined by the officers executing each such Global Security, as evidenced by their execution of such Global Security. The beneficial owners of interests in each of the Global Securities may exchange such interests for
Notes in certificated form (the “Definitive Notes”) only in limited circumstances as provided in the Indenture. In the event that Definitive Notes are issued in exchange for a Global Security, the form of certificate evidencing each
Definitive Note shall be in substantially the form of the attached Global Securities, with such changes as are necessary to evidence the Notes in definitive form rather than as a Global Security. The Company initially appoints DTC to act as
Depository with respect to the Notes.

 14.    The Notes are issuable in denominations of $2,000
and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 15.    The Events of Default set forth in the
Indenture shall apply to the Notes. 
 16.    The Company will not pay Additional Amounts on the Notes
held by any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted. 

17.    The Company may, at any time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue
additional securities having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any such additional securities shall be consolidated and form the same series of the Notes having the same terms as to status, redemption and
otherwise as the Notes under the Indenture. 
 Each of us further certifies that the form and terms of the Notes as established in this
certificate have been established pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture and comply with the Indenture.

 Any
payment of principal or interest required to be made on a day that is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day and no interest shall
accrue as a result of such delayed payment. Interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued from and including October 4, 2018, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to but excluding such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day

be fixed by the Trustee (referred to herein), notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Security not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in
the Indenture. 
 For purposes of this Security, “Business Day” means any day that, in the city of the principal Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee and in the City of New York, is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close. 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal

 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been duly executed by the Trustee by
manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company, designated as the 4.300% Senior Notes due 2048 (the “Securities”), issued under an Indenture dated as of March 26, 2009, as it may be supplemented from time to

The Securities are initially limited to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Company may, at any time, without the consent of the
Holders of the Securities, issue additional securities having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms (except for the issue date, public offering price and, if applicable, the first interest payment date) as the Securities. Any
such additional securities shall be consolidated and form the same series of the Securities having the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as the Securities under the Indenture.

payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed that would be due if the Securities matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points; 
 plus, in each case,
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Securities being redeemed to the Redemption Date. 
 At any time on or after April 1, 2048, the
Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, for any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by
the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed, assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date, that would be used, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary

(each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as
determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time by such Reference Treasury Dealer
on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Security
to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest on such Security that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment

In the event that less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such Securities for redemption will be made by
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) during any period the Securities are issued in the form of a global security registered in the name of DTC or a nominee thereof; provided that during any period the Securities are issued in
certificated form, the selection of such Securities for redemption will be made by the Trustee by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (or, in the case of Securities issued in global form,
by such method as the depositary may require) and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of the Securities. Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but

 
not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address as shown in the Security Register. If any Securities are to be redeemed in part only,
the notice of redemption will state the portion of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon surrender
for cancellation of the original Security. A partial redemption will not reduce the portion of any Security not being redeemed to a principal amount of less than $2,000. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities
or portions thereof called for redemption unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price.

less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on
behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture affecting the Securities. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities to waive on behalf of all of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities certain past defaults under the Indenture in respect of the Securities and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on
behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

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 Securities, of authorized

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment
of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges payable in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange. 

Prior to the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
