 Reverse of Note 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuers (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2016 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among each of the Issuers and The Bank of New
York Mellon, 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 Issuers, 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. 
 The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less
than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Issuers, at a redemption price (“Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of: 

 

	 	(i)	100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any such portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the
date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), 

plus 40 basis points, plus in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Securities of this series that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to
a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Indenture. 

“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 of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of such Securities. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date,
(i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation. 

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company. 

 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Jefferies LLC (or its affiliates that are
Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any 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 therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” 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 Quotation Agent by such reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption
date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury
Price of such redemption date. 
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and
of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 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. 
 Unless the Issuers
default in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities of this series or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Securities of this series are to be
redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected, considered together as one class for this purpose (such Securities to be affected may be Securities of the same
or different series and, with respect to any series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding to be affected under the Indenture, considered together as one class for this purpose (such affected Securities may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any particular series, may comprise fewer than all the
Securities of such series), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities so affected, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holder of a majority in

  
 2 

 
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series being considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive 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 51% 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 indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, 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 90 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. 
 If so
provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the above-referenced provisions of the Indenture regarding the ability of Holders to waive certain defaults, or to request the Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other
directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard to such Securities. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no
provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of each of the Issuers, 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. 
 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 of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuers 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 Issuers 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. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $5,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof. 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. 

  
 3 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company or the Security Registrar 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 Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers 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 Issuers, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

This Security is a Global Security and is subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to Global Securities, including the limitations
in Section 3.05 thereof on transfers and exchanges of Global Securities. 
 This Security and the Indenture shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
