(a) There is hereby created and designated a series of Securities under the Base Indenture: the title of the Notes shall be “3.250% Senior Notes Due 2029”. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes and shall not apply to any other series of Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other series of Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements.

(b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $600,000,000, subject to increase as set forth in Section 3.04 of this Supplemental Indenture.

(c) The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be May 22, 2029. The Notes shall be payable and may be presented for payment, redemption, registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge, at the Corporate Trust Office.

(d) The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 3.250% per annum from and including May 22, 2019, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as further provided in the form of Note annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. The dates on which such interest shall be payable (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) shall be May 22 and November 22 of each year, commencing on November 22, 2019, and the “Regular Record Date” for any interest payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on the immediately preceding May 7 and November 7, respectively, whether or not a Business Day. Interest will be payable to the Holder of record on the Regular Record Date, provided, however, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the Notes will be paid to the person to whom the principal will be payable.

(e) If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay.

(f) The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 3.03 of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee.

Section 3.02 Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer or its Treasurer, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile and shall not be required to be under the Company’s corporate seal.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

Pursuant to a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for original issue Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in the Company Order. The Trustee shall be provided with an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company that it may reasonably request in connection with such authentication of Notes. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in the Base Indenture executed by the Trustee by manual or facsimile signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 3.04 Additional Notes. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without notice to or consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) having terms and conditions set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, identical to the Notes issued on the date hereof, except that Additional Notes may:

(ii) have a different issue price than other Outstanding Notes;

(iii) have a different initial Interest Payment Date than other Outstanding Notes; and

(iv) have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes;

provided, no Additional Notes shall be issued unless such Additional Notes will be fungible for U.S. federal income tax and securities law purposes with Notes issued on the date hereof;

and provided further, the Additional Notes have the same CUSIP number as the Notes issued on the date hereof. No Additional Notes may be issued if on the issue date therefor, any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including waivers, amendments and United States federal tax purposes.

With respect to any issuance of Additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors or, if applicable, a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Company and an Officers’ Certificate in respect of such Additional Notes, which shall together provide the following information:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and

(c) On or after February 22, 2029, the Notes shall be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, on at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice electronically delivered or mailed to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, at a Redemption Price (calculated by the Company) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date for the Notes.

(d) On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes to be redeemed, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. 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 the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

(e) Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 5 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above in clause (b) or (c), shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing November 22, 2019. If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Base Indenture (defined below) at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

2. Paying Agent.

3. Indenture; Defined Terms.

This Note is one of the 3.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of June 5, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 22, 2019, the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee.

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.

A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

5. Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after November 22, 2019 and before February 22, 2029 the Redemption Price will be equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the

A-6

principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to a corresponding Interest Payment Date, such accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the Redemption Date to the holder of record on the Regular Record Date.

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after February 22, 2029, the Redemption Price (calculated by the Company) will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date for such Notes.

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. 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 the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 5 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

7. Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of the affected series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) of and the accrued interest on all the Securities of such affected series shall become immediately due and payable.
