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

Event).

 resolution of the Board of
Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be.

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

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 February 12, 2001 as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 30, 2006 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (as successor under agreement originally with Bank One Trust Company, National Association), as Trustee (herein called 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 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 $300,000,000. 

The Securities will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (each, a
“Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date and (ii) the sum, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the
present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to such Redemption Date), discounted from the scheduled payment dates to the Redemption Date on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on
Securities that are due and payable on an interest payment date falling on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date will be payable to the holders of such Securities registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record date according
to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture. 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has
exercised its right to redeem the Securities, the Company will make an offer to the Holders of Securities to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holders’ Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s
option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may
constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Securities on the Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than

30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to
purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Payment Date specified in the notice. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (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 Securities as a result of a Change of Control
Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Securities, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations

	 	1.	accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;

	 	3.	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Securities being purchased by the Company. 

 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Securities
properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any
Securities surrendered; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in

Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the rating agencies); provided

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

preceding such Redemption Date.
