SECTION 108Payment on Business Day. If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity date of the Senior Notes is not a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next Business Day at that Place of Payment. No interest shall accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the applicable Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity date, as the case may be.

ARTICLE TWO
AMENDMENTS TO THE INDENTURE
The amendments contained herein shall apply to the Senior Notes only and not to any other series of Security issued under the Indenture, and any covenants provided herein are expressly being included solely for the benefit of the Senior Notes. These amendments shall be effective for so long as there remain any Senior Notes outstanding.
SECTION 201Definitions. Section 1.01 of the Base Indenture is amended by inserting or restating, as the case may be, in their appropriate alphabetical position, the following definitions:
“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, at the time of determination, the lesser of:
(i) the present value of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended. Such present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or, if not practicable to determine such rate, the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by the Senior Notes compounded semiannually; and
3
(ii) if the obligation with respect to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction constitutes an obligation that is required to be accounted for as a capital lease obligation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the amount equal to the capitalized amount of such obligation determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and included in the financial statements of the lessee.
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Senior Notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the first public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Senior Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies);provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) the consummation of the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets and those of the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one or more of the Company’s wholly owned Subsidiaries;
(ii) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company; or
(iii) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares.
4
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction effected to create a holding company for the Company shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i) pursuant to such transaction the Company becomes a wholly owned Subsidiary of such holding company and (ii) the Holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following consummation of such transaction are the same as the Holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to consummation of such transaction.
“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

(ii) unamortized debt discount and expense, goodwill, trademarks, brand names, patents and other intangible assets, all as shown on the latest consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries at the time of the determination and computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s) and BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P) (or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to rate the Senior Notes or fails to make a rating of the Senior Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any Rating Agency selected by the Company as a replacement Rating Agency).

Section 4.10Change of Control Repurchase Offer.
If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised the Company’s right to redeem all of the Senior Notes as described above, the Company shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of Senior Notes to repurchase all or, at the election of the Holder, any part (in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Senior Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall give notice to each Holder in the manner provided in the Indenture describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Senior Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given.

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Senior Notes, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Senior Notes by virtue of such conflict.
On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
| | (1) | accept for payment all Senior Notes or portions of Senior Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer (in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof); |
| | (2) | deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Senior Notes or portions of Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and |

10
The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Senior Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Senior Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Senior Notes surrendered;provided that each new note shall be in principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
An offer to repurchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Repurchase Event after the public announcement of the Change of Control.
Section 4.11Reporting.
So long as the Senior Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and make available on its website copies of such annual and quarterly reports and such information, documents and other reports as are required under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after the date such information, documents or other reports were filed with the SEC. The Company shall be deemed to have furnished such reports, information and documents to the Trustee if the Company has filed such reports, information and documents with the SEC via the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR) filing system (or any successor system) or has made available such reports, information and documents on its website. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to ensure that such filing has occurred.
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 their covenants under the Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of senior securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 21, 2014 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture (as defined below)), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of November 21, 2014 between the Company and the Trustee (as so amended, herein called the “Indenture”), or their respective predecessors, as applicable, to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, which is initially limited to the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. As used herein, the term “Securities” means securities of the series designated on the face hereof except that, where the context requires that such term be construed as including another series of securities (e.g., where phrases such as “Securities of each series” or “Securities of any series” or similar phrases are used), the term “Securities” means securities of any series issued or to be issued under the Indenture.
The Company may, without the consent of the existing holders of the Securities, issue additional Securities having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Securities, except for issue date, public offering price and, if applicable, the date from which interest will accrue. Any additional Securities having such similar terms, together with the Securities, shall constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.
Interest
The rate at which this Security shall bear interest shall be 4.650% per annum. The date from which interest shall accrue for this Security shall be November 21, 2014. The Interest Payment Dates on which interest on this Security shall be payable are May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2015. The Regular Record Date for the interest payable on this Security on any Interest Payment Date shall be the May 1 or November 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest shall cease to accrue on this Security upon its maturity, purchase by the Company at the option of a holder or redemption. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Method of Payment

A-4
Payment on Business Day
If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date (as defined below) or Maturity date of the Senior Notes is not a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next Business Day at that Place of Payment. No interest shall accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the applicable Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity date, as the case may be.
Optional Redemption
The Securities are redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to maturity in whole or from time to time in part, on a date fixed by the Company for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) calculated as follows. If the relevant Redemption Date occurs prior to August 15, 2024, the Redemption Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the Redemption Date plus a premium (the “Make-Whole Premium”), if any is applicable pursuant to the calculation thereof as provided in the immediately following paragraph. If the relevant Redemption Date occurs on or after August 15, 2024, the Redemption Price payable shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the Redemption Date (with no Make-Whole Premium). If the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on the Redemption Date to the Person in whose name the Securities are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date and not included in the Redemption Price. The Redemption Price shall never be less than 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the Redemption Date.
The Company shall calculate the Make-Whole Premium, if any, in good faith, applying the Treasury Rate determined as set forth in the definition thereof. The amount of the Make-Whole Premium is equal to the excess, if any, of: (i) the sum of the present values, calculated as of the Redemption Date, of: (A) the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Securities to be redeemed that would be due after the Redemption Date but for such redemption (except that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment shall be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date); and (B) the principal amount that, but for the redemption, would have been payable at the Stated Maturity; over (ii) the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed.
The present values of interest and principal payments referred to in clause (i) above shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis. Those present values shall be calculated by discounting the amount of each payment of interest or principal from the date that each payment would have been payable, but for the redemption, to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 40 basis points.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity (computed by the Company as of the second Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
A-5
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and their successors and two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are Primary Treasury Dealers specified from time to time by the Company, except that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company is required to designate as a substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by such method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.
Notice of redemption shall be sent at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount, or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, may be redeemed in part, but only in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. On and after the Redemption Date, subject to the deposit with the Paying Agent of funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.
The Securities are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund or other mandatory redemption provisions.
