made other than as set forth herein, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or anyone else, by reason of any failure, on the part of any party
hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of a document or any other person, to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement referenced below, and except for written
instructions given to the Escrow Agent by the Company and the Placement Agent relating to the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between or among any of the Company and the Placement Agent,
notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and the Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof. 
 b. The Escrow Agent
shall not be liable to the Company, the Placement Agent, or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or
advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report, or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and
acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced
by written notice delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. 

c. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form, or of the execution, validity, value
or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered to it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or
liable to the Company, the Placement Agent, or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights, of the person executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property or this Agreement. The
Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to the provisions hereof. 

  
 3 

 d. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written
notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons, that a fact or an event, by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the Company, the
Placement Agent, or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption. 

e. To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of the
Investment Gain Funds, or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent may pay such taxes from the Escrowed Funds; and the Escrow Agent may withhold from any payment of the Escrowed Funds and Investment Gain Funds such amount as the Escrow Agent
estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties in respect
of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in Section 4(f). 
 f. The Escrow Agent will be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company and Placement Agent from and against all expenses, including all counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or proceeding involving any claim,
or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, except for claims relating to gross negligence or reckless misconduct by the
Escrow Agent or breach of this Agreement by the Escrow Agent, or the monies or other property held by it hereunder. Promptly, but no later than ten (10) business days, after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or
the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made by the Escrow Agent against the Company, notify the Company in writing, but the failure by the Escrow Agent to give such notice
shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder, unless the failure of the Escrow Agent to give such notice prejudices or otherwise impairs the Company’s ability to defend any demand,
claim, action suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding any obligation to make payments and deliveries hereunder, the Escrow Agent may retain and hold for such time as it deems necessary such amount of monies or property as it shall, from time to time,
reasonably deem sufficient to indemnify itself for any such loss or expense. 
 g. For purposes hereof, the term
“expense or loss” shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all
costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding. 

 

	5.	Indemnification by the Company. The indemnification provisions subject to this Agreement are set forth in Section 9 of the Placement Agency Agreement dated [●], 2015 by and between the Company and the
Placement Agent, which Section 9 shall be deemed to part of this Agreement.

Placement Agent within the Notice Period, turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the Company and the Placement Agent all Escrowed Funds and Investment Gain Funds (less such amount as the Escrow Agent is entitled to continue to retain and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Eighth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have
been done; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the purchase of the Notes established by this Eighth
Supplemental Indenture by the holders thereof (the “Holders”), it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all such Holders, as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS
AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 
 SECTION 1.01 Relation to Base Indenture. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture constitutes
a part of the Base Indenture (the provisions of which, as modified by this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes) in respect of the Notes but shall not modify, amend or otherwise affect the Base Indenture insofar as it relates to
any other series of Securities or modify, amend or otherwise affect in any manner the terms and conditions of the Securities of any other series. 

SECTION 1.02 Definitions. For all purposes of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the capitalized terms used herein (i) which are
defined in this Section 1.02 have the respective meanings assigned hereto in this Section 1.02 and (ii) which are defined in the Base Indenture (and which are not defined in this Section 1.02) have the respective meanings
assigned thereto in the Base Indenture. For all purposes of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture: 
 (a) Unless the context
otherwise requires, any reference to an Article or Section refers to an Article or Section, as the case may be, of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture; 

 (b) The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder”
and words of similar import refer to this Eighth Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; 

(c) Headings are for convenience or reference only and do not affect interpretations; and 

(d) The terms defined in this Section 1.02(d) have the meanings assigned to them in this Section and include the
plural as well as the singular: 
 “Applicable Procedures” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.07(a). 

“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, at the time of determination, the present value
(discounted at the imputed rate of interest of such transaction as determined in good faith by the Company) of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended). The term “net rental payments” under any lease for any period means the sum of the rental and other payments
required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, not including any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rent) on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments,
water rates or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amount required to be paid by lessee thereunder contingent upon the amount of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges.
In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of (x) the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case
the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but shall not include any rent that would be required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or (y) the net amount determined
assuming no such termination. 
 “Base Indenture” has the meaning given to such term in the recitals hereof. 

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date
during the period 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 public notice of the occurrence of the related Change of
Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising
by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control
Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request 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 shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment
Grade Rating Event). 
 “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day
on which the Trustee or banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or regulation to close. 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series
of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of the Company’s Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than
the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries; 

  
 2 

 (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; 

(3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or

of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Voting Stock. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be
considered to be a Change of Control if (a) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(i) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the
holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (ii) immediately following that transaction, no person is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a
Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Company” has the meaning given to such term in the preamble
hereof. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Reference Treasury Dealer as having
a maturity comparable to the remaining term (as measured from the date of redemption) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with

and items deductible from gross book value of specific asset accounts under generally accepted accounting principles) that under generally accepted accounting principles would be included on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its

 [Form of Reverse of 2025 Note] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 15, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 29, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture”
and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, a nationally chartered banking association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and
of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $750,000,000,
provided that the Company may, without the consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time increase the initial principal amount. 

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption as provided in Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture and Article XI of the
Base Indenture. 
 This Security will not be subject to any sinking fund. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and
Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any 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. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the
right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect
of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for
the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

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 any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are
payable, 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 Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

$1,000 above that amount. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of 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. 

Prior to 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 such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

THE SECURITIES OF THIS SERIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
