ARTICLE 2. THE NOTES
Section 2.01 Title and Terms; Payments.
There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the “5.250% Senior Notes due 2028” initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $650,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in any written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Original Indenture. The principal amount of Notes then outstanding shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes under the Indenture with the same terms (other than the public offering price, the issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date and the date from which interest shall begin to accrue), and which will be treated as the same class, as the Notes initially issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that, if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.
The form of Note (including the form of assignment and transfer) shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this Supplemental Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers
6
or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.
The Company shall make payments in respect of the principal and interest on Global Notes to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in its capacity as the registered Holder under the Indenture. In the case of Physical Notes, the Company shall make payments in U.S. dollars at the office of the Paying Agent or, at the Company’s option, by check mailed to the Holder’s registered address (or, if requested by a Holder of more than $1 million of Notes, by wire transfer to the account designated by such Holder). The Company shall make any required interest payments to the Person in whose name each Note is registered at the Close of Business on the Record Date for the interest payment. The Trustee shall be designated as the Company’s initial Paying Agent for payments on the Notes. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts. Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for payments on the Notes that remain unclaimed for two years after the date upon which that payment has become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment. In that case, all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to that money shall cease.
Section 2.02 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
The Notes shall initially be represented by one or more Global Notes. Each Global Note shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and be registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder.
Section 2.03 CUSIP Numbers.
In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the Notes; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers as printed on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
7
Section 2.04 Reporting Requirement.
For so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall file with the Commission, within the time periods prescribed by its rules and regulations (giving effect to any grace periods provided thereby), the Company’s annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and will furnish such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) to the Trustee within 15 days of the date on which it would be required to file the same with the Commission (giving effect to any grace periods provided by the Commission’s rules and regulations). The filing of any quarterly or annual report or other information, document or other report that the Company files with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act on the Commission’s XXXXX system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to constitute delivery of such filing to the Trustee. In the event the Company is at any time no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall continue to provide the Trustee and the Holders with annual and quarterly reports containing substantially the same information as would have been required to be filed with the Commission had the Company continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements. In such event, such annual and quarterly reports shall be provided at the times the Company would have been required to provide reports (giving effect to any grace periods provided by the Commission’s rules and regulations) had it continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officer’s Certificates).
This Section 2.04 shall apply to the Notes in lieu of Section 7.4 of the Original Indenture.
ARTICLE 3. COVENANTS
Section 3.01 Amendment and Restatement of Section 10.5 of the Original Indenture. Section 10.5 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 10.5 Limitations on Liens on Stock of Designated Subsidiaries.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall create, assume, incur or permit to exist any Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than any Lien in favor of the Company) on the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that is a Designated Subsidiary unless the Notes (and if the Company so elects, any other Indebtedness of the Company that is not subordinate to the Notes and with respect to which the governing instruments require the Company, or pursuant to which the Company is otherwise obligated, to provide such security) are secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness for at least the time period this other Indebtedness is so secured.
8
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without securing the Notes or such other Indebtedness, incur and/or assume Liens existing on such Capital Stock before the acquisition thereof by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary if (1) such Lien was in existence prior to, and is not created in contemplation of or in connection with, such acquisition, (2) such Lien will not apply to Capital Stock of any other Designated Subsidiary and (3) such Lien will secure only those obligations which it secures on the date of such acquisition, and extensions, renewals and replacements of the foregoing obligations that do not increase the maximum principal amount secured by such Liens and do not extend to Capital Stock of any other Designated Subsidiary.
If the Company shall hereafter be required to secure the Notes equally and ratably with any other Indebtedness pursuant to this Section, (i) the Company will promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the foregoing covenant has been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, the foregoing covenant has been complied with and that any instruments executed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in the performance of the foregoing covenant comply with the requirements of the foregoing covenant, and (ii) the Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into an indenture or agreement supplemental hereto and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce the rights of the Holders of the Notes so secured.
Section 3.02 Amendment and Restatement of Section 10.6 of the Original Indenture. Section 10.6 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 10.6 Limitations on Sales of Capital Stock of Designated Subsidiaries.
Neither the Company nor any of its Designated Subsidiaries shall issue, sell, transfer or dispose of Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that is a Designated Subsidiary at the time of such issuance, sale, transfer or disposition, except to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that agrees to hold the transferred shares subject to the terms of this sentence, unless (1) the Company disposes of the entire Capital Stock of the Designated Subsidiary at the same time for cash or property which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, is at least equal to the fair market value of the Capital Stock or (2) the Company sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any Capital Stock of a Designated Subsidiary for at least fair market value (in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company) and, after giving effect thereto, the Company and its Subsidiaries would own more than 80% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of such Designated Subsidiary.
Section 3.03 Amendment and Restatement of Section 10.7 of the Original Indenture. Section 10.7 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 10.7 Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 8, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate or other legal entity existence of each of its Designated Subsidiaries and their respective rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company or
9
any of its Designated Subsidiaries to preserve any such right or franchise, or require the Company to preserve the corporate or other legal existence of any such Designated Subsidiary, if the Company or any such Designated Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of such Designated Subsidiary and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to any Holder.
ARTICLE 4. REMEDIES
Section 4.01 Amendment and Restatement of Section 5.1 of the Original Indenture. Section 5.1 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 5.1 Events of Default.
With respect to the Notes, each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default”:
(a) the Company defaults in any payment of interest due and payable on the Notes, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;
(b) the Company defaults in the payment of all or any part of the principal or any premium on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or otherwise;
(c) a default in the performance of the Company’s obligations under Article 8 of the Original Indenture;
(d) the Company defaults in its performance of any other covenant or agreement in respect of the Notes or this Indenture that continues for 60 days (or, in the case of any default arising under Section 2.04 hereof, 180 days) after receipt by the Company of a notice of Default from the Trustee or after receipt by the Company and the Trustee of a “Notice of Default” from the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;
(e) if any event of default as defined in any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Indebtedness of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary (including, in each case, an Event of Default under any other series of Securities), whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created or incurred, shall happen and shall consist, in the aggregate, of the default in the payment of $50,000,000 or more in principal amount of such Indebtedness at the maturity thereof (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) or shall, in the aggregate, result in such Indebtedness in principal amount of $50,000,000 or more becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, unless such default is cured or such acceleration is rescinded, stayed, annulled or, in the case of Indebtedness contested in good faith by the Company, a bond, letter of credit, escrow deposit or other cash equivalent or reserve in an amount sufficient to discharge such Indebtedness is set aside by the Company, in each case within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certificated mail, to the

Section 5.03 Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes.
(a) In case the Company exercises its right to redeem all or any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.02 of this Supplemental Indenture, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than 45 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall provide or cause to be provided a notice of such redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not more than 60 calendar days and not less than 15 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be so redeemed as a whole or in part by first-class mail at its last address as the same appears on the Note register or delivered electronically as to Notes held through the Depositary in

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the applicable Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.
(b) The Redemption Notice, if mailed or delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
(c) Each Redemption Notice shall specify:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the applicable Redemption Price;
(iii) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the Notes to be redeemed;
(iv) that on the Redemption Date, the applicable Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(v) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the applicable Redemption Price;
(vi) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and
(vii) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.
A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.
(d) If the Company is to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes and the Notes are in the form of Global Notes, the Trustee will select, not more than 60 calendar days and not less than 15 calendar days before the Redemption Date, the Notes to be redeemed. If the Company is to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes and the Notes are in the form of Physical Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) by lot.

On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(b) On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3 of the Original Indenture an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made promptly after the later of:

(ii) the time of presentation of such Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 5.04.

5.250% Senior Notes due 2028
1. | Interest. |
This Note shall bear cash interest at the rate of 5.250% per annum. Interest on this Note shall accrue from August 12, 2020 (the “Issue Date”) or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest shall be payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2021, to the Holder of record of Notes at the Close of Business on the February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Each payment of cash interest on this Note shall include interest accrued for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) through the day before the applicable Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. Any payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement. Interest shall be calculated using a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
2. | Method of Payment. |
The Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided herein and in the Indenture. The Company will pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) on the principal amount of this Notes on each February 15 and August 15 to the Person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the Close of Business on the February 1 and August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if this Note is canceled or repurchased after such Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and the applicable Redemption Price or premium in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by such Holder. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Physical Note (including principal and interest) in U.S. dollars at the office of the Paying Agent. At the Company’s option, the Company may make such payments by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof as such address shall appear on the register or, if requested by a Holder of more than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by such Holder. If an Interest Payment Date is a date other than a Business Day, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
3. | Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. |
Initially, U.S. Bank National Association will act as Trustee, Paying Agent, transfer agent and Registrar for the Notes. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, transfer

4. | Indenture. |
The Company issued this Note under an Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2000 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to Bank One Trust Company, National Association), as amended and supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2020 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and the Original Indenture, as so amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. This Note is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.
The Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of not more than $650,000,000. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes under the Indenture with the same terms (other than the public offering price, the issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date and the date from which interest shall begin to accrue), and which will be treated as the same class, as the Notes initially issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that, if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.
