 WHEREAS,
Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture provides that without the consent of the Holders of the Securities of any series issued under the Base Indenture, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into one or more
indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture to, among other things, establish the form or terms of securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01 thereof; and 

WHEREAS, the entry into this First Supplemental Indenture by the parties hereto is in all respects authorized by the provisions of the
Base Indenture; and 
 WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done to make this First Supplemental Indenture, when executed and
delivered by the Company, the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms; and 
 WHEREAS,
all things necessary have been done to make the Notes, when executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided for in the Indenture, the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms.

	 	(A)	By amending Section 1.01 to replace in whole the following definitions thereto in lieu of the corresponding existing definitions, so that in the event of a
conflict with the definition of terms in the Base Indenture, the following definitions shall control: 

 “Independent Investment Banker” means either of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as selected by the Company, and their respective successors, or if both of such
firms are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means
(1) each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined herein) selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and their respective successors, provided, however, that if either of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary
U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute for such firm another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) up to three additional Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the
Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company. 
 “S&P” means
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors. 
  

	 	(B)	By amending Section 1.01 to add the following new definitions in correct alphabetical order: 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following after the date of issuance of the Notes:

 1. the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or
consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; 
 2. the consummation of any
transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, it being agreed that an employee
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for whom shares are held under an employee stock ownership, employee retirement, employee savings or similar plan and whose shares are voted in accordance with the instructions of such employee shall not be
a member of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) solely because such employee’s shares are held by a trustee under said plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3
and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the Company’s Voting Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of its outstanding Voting Stock;

 3. the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person
consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities
or other property, other than any such transaction where the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged for, Voting Stock representing more than 50% of the voting
power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; 
 4. during any period
of 24 consecutive calendar months, the majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors shall no longer be composed of individuals (a) who were members of the Company’s Board of Directors on the first day of such period or
(b) whose election or nomination to the Company’s Board of Directors was approved by individuals referred to in clause (a) above constituting, at the time of such election or nomination, at least a majority of the Company’s Board
of Directors or, if directors are nominated by a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, constituting at the time of such nomination, at least a majority of such committee; or 

5. the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means, with respect to the Notes, the Notes cease to be rated Investment
Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days
following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change).
If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by such Rating Agency during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated. 

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor
rating category of Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies
selected by the Company under the circumstances permitting the Company to select a replacement agency. 

  
 - 3 -

 “Notes” has the meaning set forth in the Recitals. 

“Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if either of Moody’s or S&P
ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside the Company’s control, the Company may appoint another “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning
of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act as a replacement for such Rating Agency; provided, that the Company shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee. 

“Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of such Person that is at the time
entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such Person. 
  

	 	(C)	By amending Section 4.01 by adding the following sentence at the end of thereof: 

“Both Section 4.02 (defeasance) and Section 4.03 (covenant defeasance) shall apply to the Notes.” 

 

	 	(D)	By replacing Section 4.03 in its entirety with the following: 

“Upon the Company’s exercise of the option applicable to this Section 4.03 with respect to the Notes, the
Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant or provision contained or referred to in Sections 10.05, 10.06, 10.07 and 13.01, with respect to the Defeased Securities, on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 4.04 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act
of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder, and the Events of Default under Section 5.01(c), (d) and
(e) shall cease to be in full force and effect with respect to the Notes. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Defeased Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect
of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.01(c), (d) and (e) but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Defeased Securities shall be
unaffected thereby.”

	 	(E)	By amending Section 9.01 by: 

  

	 	(a)	deleting the period at the end of clause (m) and inserting the following: “; and”; and

“Additional Notes”) in one or more tranches from time to time, without notice to or the consent of existing Holders of the Securities of any series, including the Notes. The Additional Notes shall have the same terms as all other Notes and
all references in the Indenture shall be deemed to also refer to the Additional Notes. The Additional Notes shall vote as a class with all other Notes as to matters as to which such Notes have a vote.” 

 

	 	(H)	By replacing Section 11.01 in its entirety with the following: 

  

	 	“(a)	Prior to the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at
any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 

  

	 	(1)	100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and

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

plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date, if any (subject to the right of holders of record of such Securities on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an interest payment date). 

Any redemption may be made upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders thereof as provided in the
Indenture. 
 If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, not more than 60 nor less
than 30 days before the Redemption Date, the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed, by such method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 
 In the case of any redemption of Securities in accordance with the Indenture, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such
Securities of record as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date or Special Record Date referred to on the face hereof. Securities (or portions thereof) for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the
Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date.

 In the event of redemption or repurchase of this Security in accordance with the Indenture
in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Securities, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities pursuant to Article XI of the Indenture,
each Holder of the Securities shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Security pursuant to Article XIII of the Indenture.

 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the Securities 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 (a) the entire Indebtedness on the Securities and (b) certain covenants and Defaults and Events of Default, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions (including certain amendments permitted without the consent of any Holders and certain
amendments which required the consent of all of the Holders) as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture and the Securities at any
time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding that are affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (100% of the Holders in certain circumstances) at the time Outstanding that are affected, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and the Securities of such series and certain past Defaults and Events of Default under the Indenture and 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 or any other obligor on the Securities (in the event such other obligor is obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities), 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. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration

The City of 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
its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities in certificated form are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a differing authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 Except as indicated in the Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
 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 is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor
