of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer
required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

the Unrestricted Global Notes.
If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraph (2)(B) or (3) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global
Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.03 of this Indenture, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred.

(f) Legends. The following legends will appear on the face of all
Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.
(1) Private Placement Legend.
(A) Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) or (C) below, each Global Note and each Definitive
Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:
“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION,
AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS NOTE MAY BE RELYING ON
THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER OR ANOTHER EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT), (B) IT IS
NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS NOTE IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (C) IT IS AN “INSTITUTIONAL” ACCREDITED INVESTOR (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (9) OR (12) UNDER
REGULATION D PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR”)) AND (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT WITHIN [ONE YEAR—FOR NOTES ISSUED PURSUANT TO RULE 144A][40 DAYS—FOR NOTES ISSUED IN OFFSHORE TRANSACTIONS PURSUANT TO REGULATION S] AFTER
THE LATER OF THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE AND THE DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OWNED THIS NOTE, OFFER, RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS NOTE EXCEPT (A) (I) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY
THEREOF, (II) FOR SO LONG AS THIS NOTE IS ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT,
(III) TO AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR THAT IS ACQUIRING THE NOTES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SUCH AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR, IN EACH CASE IN A MINIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE NOTES OF $250,000, FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO
OR FOR THE OFFER OR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT, AND THAT PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES (OR HAS FURNISHED ON ITS BEHALF BY A U.S. BROKER-DEALER) TO THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN
REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE FOR THIS NOTE), (IV) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION
S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (V) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (VI) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS), OR (VII) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE
UNITED STATES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS. BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE FURTHER AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS NOTE IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE PURSUANT TO SUBCLAUSES (III) TO (VI) OF CLAUSE (A) ABOVE, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS EITHER OF THEM MAY
REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED
STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”
(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued pursuant to
subparagraph (b)(4), (c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(2), (d)(3), (e)(2) or (e)(3) of this Section 2.07 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) will not bear the Private Placement Legend.
(C) The Issuer may cause the removal of the Private Placement Legend from a Global Note at any
time on or after the 366th day after the date hereof through the mandatory exchange procedures of the Depositary by delivery to the Depositary an instruction letter for the Depositary’s mandatory exchange process (and/or otherwise complying with
any Applicable Procedures). Until such time as the Issuer provides such instruction letter to the Depositary notifying and confirming to the Depositary that the restricted period for the Notes represented by such Global Note has elapsed and
instructing the Depositary to exchange all “restricted securities” represented by a restricted CUSIP for “unrestricted securities” represented by an unrestricted CUSIP (and/or otherwise complies with the Applicable Procedures) and the Depositary
moves the Notes represented by such Global Note from a restricted CUSIP number to an unrestricted CUSIP number in accordance with its Applicable Procedures, the restricted CUSIP will be the CUSIP number for such Notes. At such time as the Issuer
provides such instruction letter to the Depositary (and/or otherwise complies with the Applicable Procedures) and the Depositary has moved all of such Notes represented by a restricted CUSIP number to an unrestricted CUSIP number, the Private
Placement Legend will be deemed removed from such Global Note and an unrestricted CUSIP number for such Notes will be deemed to be the CUSIP number for such Notes. Thereafter such Global Notes shall be deemed an Unrestricted Global Note. No
Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection with the mandatory exchange process under this clause (C) and the removal of the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, the Trustee may rely on an Officer’s Certificate from
the Issuer as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions as described above.
(2) Regulation S Global Note Legend. The Regulation
S Temporary Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:
“BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, NOR IS IT PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON, AND IS ACQUIRING THIS NOTE IN AN
OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and
canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 of this Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form
of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the
Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note,
such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.
(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.
(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the
Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.03 of this Indenture or at the Registrar’s request.
(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or
to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 3.06 of the Base Indenture, or Section 3.05 or 4.02 of the First Supplemental Indenture).
(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange.
(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be required:
(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the day of delivering any notice of redemption under Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery;
(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or
(C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next
succeeding interest payment date.
(6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee,
any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of
the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.03 of this Indenture.
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among any participants of the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Notes) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with
the express requirements hereof.
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or Registrar shall
have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any Depositary with respect to such global Note, for the records of any Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such global Note,
for any transactions between such depositary and any participant in such Depositary or between or among any such Depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such global Note or for any transfers of
beneficial interests in any such global Note.
ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT
Section 3.01 Optional Redemption.
Prior to the applicable Par Call Date with respect to each Series of Notes, the Issuer may redeem the Notes of such Series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at
a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to the redemption date (assuming that such Notes matured on their applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15
basis points in the case of the 2029 Notes, 20 basis points in the case of the 2031 Notes and 25 basis points in the case of the 2036 Notes, less unpaid interest accrued to the date of redemption (any excess of the amount described in this bullet
point over the amount described in Section 3.01(b), the “Applicable Premium”); and
(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, as calculated by the Issuer, which the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar shall not be
required to review, investigate or verify.
On or after the applicable Par Call Date with respect to each Series of Notes, the Issuer may redeem the Notes of such Series, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
“Par Call Date” means (i) with respect to the 2029 Notes, July 13, 2029 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes), (ii) with respect to the
2031 Notes, July 13, 2031 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2031 Notes) and (iii) with respect to the 2036 Notes, May 13, 2036 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2036 Notes).
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any
successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call
Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date, on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days)
using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to
the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant
maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable.
If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call
Date, and one with a maturity date following such Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on
the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is
trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the
terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
Section 3.02 Mandatory Redemption.
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
Section 3.03 Optional Redemption for Changes in Taxes.
The Issuer may redeem the Notes of any Series, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders thereof (which
notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Base Indenture), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to,
but not including, the date of redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and that may become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise
(subject to the right of Holders of such Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof if such Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to
such date), if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations, rulings or treaties of any relevant Tax Jurisdiction affecting taxation, or any change in, or amendment to, the official position regarding the application,
administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in official administrative practice), which change or amendment
has not been publicly announced before, and which becomes effective after, the Issue Date (or, if the relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date)on the next date on which any amount would be
payable in respect of such Notes, the Issuer or the Parent is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Issuer or the Parent (but, in the case of the Parent, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the
Issuer without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts) cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to them (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent).
The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the Parent would be obligated to make such payment, deduction or
withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due and at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption
of the Notes of any Series pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) attesting to the effect that the
conditions for redemption specified above have been satisfied (which opinion, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be required to include an opinion as to whether “reasonable efforts” could be undertaken to avoid the otherwise applicable
obligations). In addition, before the Issuer publishes or mails notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the forgoing, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it or the Parent (but, in the case of the
Parent, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Issuer without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts) cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.
The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions as
described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on all of the holders.
Section 3.04 Optional Redemption Procedures.
The provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture shall apply in the case of a redemption pursuant to Article 3 of this First Supplemental Indenture solely for the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes.
Section 3.05 Offer to Purchase.
In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an Offer to Purchase, it will follow the procedures specified below.
In connection with any Offer to Purchase, the Issuer will deliver electronically or mail by first class mail (or deliver to DTC in the case of Global Notes) a notice to each Holder of the
applicable Series of Notes describing the transaction or transactions that give rise to such Offer to Purchase and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Purchase Date”),
which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The purchase price for the Offer to Purchase shall be as set forth in Section 4.02; provided that if the Purchase Date is on or after an
interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.
The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Offer to
Purchase, will state:
(a) that the Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to this Section 3.05 and Section 4.02 hereof and the
length of time the Offer to Purchase will remain open;
(b) the purchase price and the Purchase Date;
(c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrete or accrue interest;
(d) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer to Purchase will cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Purchase Date;
(e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase may elect to have Notes
purchased in denominations of $200,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
(f) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Offer to Purchase will be required to
surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address
specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;
(g) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to
the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).
On the applicable Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:
(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase;
(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of
Notes properly tendered; and
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.05 and a written order to cancel those Notes (in accordance with the Trustee’s procedures).
The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such 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 the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Offer to
Purchase on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.
The Issuer 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 each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture governing such Offer to Purchase, the Issuer will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.
The provisions under this First Supplemental Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make any Offer to Purchase may be waived or modified with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, which may be conditioned upon the consummation of
such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Triggering Event at the time the Offer to Purchase is made. In addition, an Offer to Purchase may be made at the same time as consents are
solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the indenture, the Notes and/or the Parent Guarantee (but such Offer to Purchase may not condition tenders on the delivery of such consents).
The Issuer, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes of any Series in the open market or otherwise, subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws. Any Notes purchased in the open market or otherwise by the Issuer or the Parent will be cancelled or remain outstanding as instructed, in each case, by the Issuer or the Parent, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 4
CERTAIN COVENANTS
Unless otherwise noted, the following covenants will apply to the Notes in addition to the covenants in Article 4 of the Base Indenture:
Section 4.01 Liens.
(a) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Significant Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any of its Principal Personal or Real Property (including Equity Interests of a Significant Subsidiary holding Principal Personal or Real Property), whether owned at the Issue Date or
thereafter acquired, securing Indebtedness For Borrowed Money, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured, equally and ratably, on such assets of the Parent or such Subsidiary with (or senior or
prior to) the Indebtedness For Borrowed Money so secured for so long as such Indebtedness For Borrowed Money is so secured.
(b) Any Lien on any Principal Personal or Real Property created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes
pursuant to clause (a) immediately above shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to such Lien created for the benefit
of the Holders of the Notes.
(c) This Section 4.01 requires only equal and ratable treatment in the application of proceeds of collateral
and does not require that the Trustee have any ability to control the collateral or the enforcement of remedies.
(d) The foregoing restrictions do not apply to extensions, renewals or replacements of any Indebtedness For
Borrowed Money (and any successive extensions, renewals or replacements of such Indebtedness For Borrowed Money) secured by Liens, so long as the principal amount of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money secured thereby shall not exceed the amount of
such Indebtedness For Borrowed Money secured by the foregoing Liens existing at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement (plus an amount equal to any premiums, accrued interest, fees, expenses or other costs payable in connection
therewith).
(e) Further, an increase in the amount of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money in connection with any accrual of
interest, accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness For Borrowed Money with the same terms, and accretion of original issue discount and increases in the
amount of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness For Borrowed Money, shall not constitute an incurrence or

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02, the Issuer will not be required to make a

Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes of the Series as to which the Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that were properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) in
connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Issuer (or any Affiliate of the Issuer) has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes of the Series as to which

accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer or (3) notice of redemption with respect to such Series of Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 under the Indenture, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable
redemption price.
ARTICLE 5
DEFEASANCE
Section 5.01 Covenant Defeasance.
Section 8.03 of the Base Indenture shall be superseded in its entirety by the following language with respect to, and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; provided that this Section
5.01 shall not become part of the terms of any other Series of Securities:
Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture of the option applicable to this Section 5.01, the Issuer and the Parent will, with respect to the Notes of any Series and
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 of the Base Indenture, be released from each of their obligations under Sections 3.05, 4.01 and 4.02 of this First Supplemental Indenture and Section 4.03 and clauses (a)(3)
and (c)(3) of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture with respect to the outstanding Notes of such Series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 of the Base Indenture are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes of such Series will thereafter be deemed 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 will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means
that, with respect to this First Supplemental Indenture and outstanding Notes of a Series and related Parent Guarantee, the Issuer and the Parent may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission
to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such Notes and the Parent Guarantee will be unaffected thereby. In
addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 of the Base Indenture, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5),
(6) (only as such clause 6 applies to Significant Subsidiaries) and (7) (only as such clause 7 applies to Significant Subsidiaries) of the Base Indenture will not constitute Events of Default.

[Form of Reverse Side of Initial Note]
5.064% Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”)
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1) INTEREST.
The Issuer promises to pay interest semi-annually in arrears February 13 and August 13 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day
(each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Original Issue Date (shown on the face of this Note) until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 5.064%; provided that if there is no
existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding
Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 13, 2027. If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT.
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of
interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such
payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.
Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
(4) INDENTURE.
The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2026 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, Parent and the
Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2026 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as
amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.
The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, by the Parent.
(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
Prior to July 13, 2029 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption
date (assuming that such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, less unpaid
interest accrued to the date of redemption (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately succeeding bullet point, the “Applicable Premium”);
and
(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, as calculated by the Issuer, which the Trustee shall not be required to review, investigate or
verify.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two
paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the
most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S.
government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant
maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if
there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date, on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to
three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For
purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity
from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par
Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with
a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or
more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States
Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining
the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a
percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. Any notice to the holders of the Notes of such redemption must include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption
price itself.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.
Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after its redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed
on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.
(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices
may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $200,000 may
be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.
(8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to
Section 3.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture, within 30 days following such Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will make a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture and in compliance with Section
3.05 of the First Supplemental Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if
the Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to such date).
(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed
in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for
all purposes.
(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Notes and the Parent Guarantee may be amended, supplemented or waived as
provided in the Indenture.
(12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If there is a continuing Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer) with respect to the Notes, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of such
Notes affected thereby may declare the principal amount of all of such Notes to be due and payable immediately. However, at any time after the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, declare an acceleration with respect to any
such Notes, but before the applicable person has obtained a judgment or decree based on such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain conditions, cancel such acceleration
if the Parent has cured all Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal) with respect to the Notes or all such Events of Default have been waived as provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default
specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer occurs, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without any further action or notice.
(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, member,
manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or the Parent, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Parent under the Notes, the Indenture, the Parent Guarantee or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the
Notes.
(15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual,
facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
(16) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in
common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
(17) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in
or omission of such numbers.
(18) GOVERNING LAW. THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE PARENT GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE TRUSTEE AND THE PARENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED

Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT.
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of
interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such
payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.
Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
(4) INDENTURE.
The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2026 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, Parent and the
Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2026 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as
amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.
The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, by the Parent.
(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
Prior to July 13, 2031 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption
date (assuming that such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points, less unpaid
interest accrued to the date of redemption (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately succeeding bullet point, the “Applicable Premium”);
and
(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, as calculated by the Issuer, which the Trustee shall not be required to review, investigate or
verify.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two
paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the
most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S.
government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant
maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if
there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date, on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to
three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For
purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity
from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par
Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with
a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or
more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States
Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining
the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a
percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. Any notice to the holders of the Notes of such redemption must include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption
price itself.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.
Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after its redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed
on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.
(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices
may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $200,000 may
be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.
(8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to
Section 3.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture, within 30 days following such Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will make a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture and in compliance with Section
3.05 of the First Supplemental Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if
the Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to such date).
(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed
in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for
all purposes.
(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Notes and the Parent Guarantee
may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in the Indenture.
(12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If there is a continuing Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer) with respect to the Notes, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of such
Notes affected thereby may declare the principal amount of all of such Notes to be due and payable immediately. However, at any time after the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, declare an acceleration with respect to any
such Notes, but before the applicable person has obtained a judgment or decree based on such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain conditions, cancel such acceleration
if the Parent has cured all Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal) with respect to the Notes or all such Events of Default have been waived as provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default
specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer occurs, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without any further action or notice.
(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, member,
manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or the Parent, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Parent under the Notes, the Indenture, the Parent Guarantee or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the
Notes.
(15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual,
facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
(16) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in
common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
(17) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in
or omission of such numbers.
(18) GOVERNING LAW. THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE PARENT GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE TRUSTEE AND THE PARENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR HEREBY.

5.995% Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”)
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1) INTEREST.
The Issuer promises to pay interest semi-annually in arrears February 13 and August 13 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day
(each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Original Issue Date (shown on the face of this Note) until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 5.995%; provided that if there is no
existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding
Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 13, 2027. If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT.
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of
interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such
payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.
Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
(4) INDENTURE.
The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2026 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, Parent and the
Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2026 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as
amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.
The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, by the Parent.
(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
Prior to May 13, 2036 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption
date (assuming that such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points, less unpaid
interest accrued to the date of redemption (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately succeeding bullet point, the “Applicable Premium”);
and
(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, as calculated by the Issuer, which the Trustee shall not be required to review, investigate or
verify.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two
paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the
most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S.
government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant
maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if
there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date, on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to
three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For
purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity
from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par
Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with
a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or
more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States
Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining
the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a
percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. Any notice to the holders of the Notes of such redemption must include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption
price itself.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.
Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on an after its redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed
on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.
(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices
may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $200,000 may
be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.
(8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to
Section 3.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture, within 30 days following such Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will make a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture and in compliance with Section
3.05 of the First Supplemental Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if
the Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to such date).
(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed
in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner
for all purposes.
(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Notes and the Parent Guarantee

(12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If there is a continuing Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer) with respect to the Notes, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of such
Notes affected thereby may declare the principal amount of all of such Notes to be due and payable immediately. However, at any time after the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, declare an acceleration with respect to any
such Notes, but before the applicable person has obtained a judgment or decree based on such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain conditions, cancel such acceleration
if the Parent has cured all Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal) with respect to the Notes or all such Events of Default have been waived as provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default
specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer occurs, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without any further action or notice.
(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, member,
manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or the Parent, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Parent under the Notes, the Indenture, the Parent Guarantee or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the
Notes.

facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(17) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in
