SECTION 2.1. TITLE OF SECURITIES

There is hereby established a series of Securities designated the “3.625% Senior Notes due 2030” (the “Notes”).

SECTION 2.2. AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES

There are initially to be authenticated and delivered $500,000,000 principal amount of the Notes. Such principal amount of the Notes may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Original Indenture.

All Notes of this series need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, for issuances of additional Notes of such series. Any such additional Notes will have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date, redemption rights and other terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder. Any such additional Notes, together with the series of Notes initially issued hereunder, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the Indenture; provided, however, that if such additional Notes are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Notes issued hereby, such additional Notes shall be issued under a separate CUSIP, ISIN and/or any other identifying number.

Nothing contained in this Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Third Supplemental Indenture, or in the Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Company or authentication or delivery by the Trustee of Notes under the circumstances contemplated by Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.8 and 11.5 of the Original Indenture.

The Notes shall be issued in registered form without coupons. The Notes shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. The form of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication for the Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in the form of Note attached hereto. Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof. The entire initially issued principal amount of the Notes shall initially be evidenced by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company. The Notes shall not be issuable in definitive form except under the limited circumstances specified in Section 3.7 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 2.3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THE NOTES

The Notes will mature on May 15, 2030 and will bear interest at the rate of 3.625% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually, in cash, in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2020, to the Holders thereof at the close of business on the preceding May 1 and November 1 of each year. Interest on the Notes will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance of the Notes. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.4. DENOMINATIONS

The Notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.5. REDEMPTION

(a) Optional Redemption. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Notes at any time and from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

(ii) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the applicable Redemption Date), discounted to the applicable Redemption Date in accordance with customary market practice on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 3.625%.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date.

(b) [Reserved].

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s current address appearing in the Security Register. Notice of redemption of the Notes will be given as provided in Section 4.4 of the Original Indenture otherwise.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 2.6. OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL TRIGGERING EVENT

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 2.5(a), each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes as set forth in this Section 2.6 (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

8

Within 30 days following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, by first-class mail, a notice to each Holder of Notes at its registered address, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the repurchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes electing to have Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer the Holder’s Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer if it had been made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default resulting from failure to pay the Change of Control Payment.

The Company shall comply 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 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.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (the “Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes 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 certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute, or to order or direct the Trustee to institute, any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, 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 Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default and offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred or reasonably probable to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.
