Section 2.01.Designation and Amount; Payments. The Notes are hereby created and authorized as a single series of Securities under the Original Indenture. The Notes shall be designated as the “7.000% Senior Notes due 2021”. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is initially limited to $350,000,000, subject to Section 2.06 and except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 2.12 and Section 10.05 of the Original Indenture and Section 8.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.

The principal amount of Notes then outstanding shall be payable on the Maturity Date. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.000% per year from March 18, 2016, or from the most recent date on which interest had been paid or provided for, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest is payable on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on September 15, 2016, to the Person in whose name a Note is registered on the Security Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment shall accrue in respect of such delay.

The Notes shall be the direct, unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with each other and with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.

Section 2.02.Form of Notes. The Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, the terms and provisions of which shall constitute, and are hereby expressly incorporated in and made a part of the Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of the Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture as may be required by the Note Custodian or the Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or traded or designated for issuance or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Each Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of

- 8 -

Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of the Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made on the Schedule of Exchanges of Notes to such Global Note by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with the Indenture.

Section 2.03.Depositary.

(a) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Securities to which the provisions of Section 2.01, Section 2.09 and Section 2.15 of the Original Indenture apply (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Note Custodian) in accordance with the Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary therefor.

(b) The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

(c) Section 2.09(d) of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:

“Physical Notes shall be issued and delivered by the Company (i) to each Person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related Securities only if (a) DTC has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Securities of the relevant series and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 calendar days or (b) DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 calendar days or (ii) if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series has occurred and is continuing, to each beneficial owner who requests that its beneficial interests in the Securities be exchanged for Securities in definitive form.”

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 1.01, Section 2.01, Section 2.09 and Section 2.15 of the Original Indenture) or the Notes, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any beneficial owner of a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such beneficial owner’s right to exchange its beneficial interest in such Global Note for a Physical Note in accordance with Section 1.05 of the Original Indenture.

- 9 -

(e) At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Applicable Procedures. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Note Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on the Schedule of Exchanges of Notes to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

Section 2.04.Cancellation of Surrendered Notes. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for payment, repurchase (including pursuant to Section 2.06), redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s Agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Original Indenture. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes cancelled hereunder or under the Original Indenture.

Section 2.05.Notice of Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, in accordance with Section 13.02 of the Original Indenture, within 30 calendar days after the occurrence thereof, an Officers’ Certificate containing notice of any events that would constitute Defaults, the status thereof and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof, which notice shall make express reference to the Company, the Indenture and the Notes.

Section 2.06.Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Supplemental Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount;provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 13.05 of the Original Indenture, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and such Notes shall no longer be considered Outstanding under the Indenture upon the repurchase thereof.

Section 2.07.Payments on Physical Notes. The Company shall pay interest on any Physical Notes (A) to Holders having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of such Notes at their address as it appears in the Security Register and (B) to Holders having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by

- 10 -

check mailed to each such Holder or, upon application by a Holder to the Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies the Registrar, in writing, to the contrary.

Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then Outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Redemption Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, the Redemption Price, if applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, in the amounts and, if applicable, in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

The Notes shall be redeemable at the Company’s option in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture.

Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.
