(ii) the sum, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date, in each case discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points for the 2028 Notes and 25 basis points for the 2031 Notes;

together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to a series of Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes of such series, the Company shall make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or, at the Holder’s option, any part (equal to $2,000 or any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes of such series at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01.

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall make the Change of Control Offer by mailing, or causing to be mailed, a notice to all Holders of Notes of such series (with a copy mailed to the Trustee) describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to such payment date.

(c) On the payment date of the Change of Control Purchase Price as specified in the notice, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

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

(d) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder who properly tendered Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each such Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(e) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In the event that such third party terminates or defaults on its offer, the Company shall make a Change of Control Offer treating the date of such termination or default as though it were the date of such Change of Control Triggering Event.

(f) The Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the relevant payment date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(g) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provision of any such securities laws or regulations conflicts with the offer provisions in respect of a Change of Control of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such offer provisions by virtue of any such conflict.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000.

All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

The Paying Agent, transfer agent and Security Registrar with respect to the Notes shall initially be the Trustee.

The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Notes of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

At any time prior to November 30, 2027, the Company shall have the right at its option to redeem the Notes, as a whole or in part, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:

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

(ii) the sum, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) from the Redemption Date to November 30, 2027, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points;

together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to such payment date.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In the event that such third party terminates or defaults on its offer, the Company shall make a Change of Control offer treating the date of such termination or default as though it were the date of such Change of Control Triggering Event.

The Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the relevant payment date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the obligations of the Company at any time upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes of this series.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of each series affected thereby and at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of a series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
