WHEREAS, the changes set forth herein do not adversely affect the holders of any securities issued prior to the date hereof; and

There is hereby established a series of Securities pursuant to the Indenture with the following terms:

Section 2.02.  Aggregate Principal Amount; Additional Notes.  The Notes will be initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (not including the Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 3.02 or 10.04 of the Indenture); provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be increased in the future, without giving

4

notice or seeking consent of the holders of the Notes, on the same terms as the Notes and constituting a single series of Securities under the Indenture; provided further, however, that if the additional Notes are not fungible with the previously issued Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.

Section 2.03.  Maturity Date.  The date on which the principal of the Notes is payable is September 25, 2017, subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to acceleration.

Section 2.04.  Ranking.  The Notes will be unsecured senior debt of the Company and will rank on a parity with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.

Section 2.05.  Interest.  The Notes will bear interest from September 20, 2012, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate of 1.800% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 25 and September 25 of each year, commencing March 25, 2013.  The Company will pay interest to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the March 10 or September 10, as the case may be, preceding the interest payment date.  The Company will compute interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Section 2.06.  Issuance Price.  The purchase price to be paid to the Company for the sale of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of September 17, 2012, between the Company and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, as Representatives of the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 thereto, shall be 98.838% of the principal amount of the Notes and the initial offering price to the public of the Notes shall be 99.438% of the principal amount of the Notes.

Section 2.07.  Defeasance.  The Notes shall be subject to defeasance under Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

Section 2.08.  Form and Dating.  (a) The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.  Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(b)        The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Notes conflicts with the express provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

5

(c)        The Notes will be issued in the form of a fully-registered Global Security.  The Global Security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee.  Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement dated September 17, 2012, the Global Security may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only by the Depositary to its nominee or by its nominee to such Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or its nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.  If the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days, the Company will issue Notes in certificated form in exchange for the Global Security.  In addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have the Notes represented by a Global Security, and, in such event, will issue Notes in certificated form in exchange for the Global Security.  In either instance, an owner of an interest in the Global Security would be entitled to physical delivery of such Notes in certificated form.  Notes so issued in certificated form will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and will be issued in registered form only.

Section 2.09.  Optional Redemption.  (a)  The Notes will be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any 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 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes 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 Notes and the Indenture.

(b)        Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed.  Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by The Depository Trust Company, in the case of Notes represented by a global security, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a global security.

Section 2.10.  Repurchase Upon Change of Control.  (a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101%

6

of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase.  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 an impending 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 Notes 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 repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

(b)        The Company will 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 the Notes 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 Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

(c)        On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(i)        accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;

(ii)       deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

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

(d)        The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

7

(e)        The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
