NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS (A) IN THE CASE OF RULE 144A GLOBAL NOTES, ONE YEAR, OR (B) IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S GLOBAL NOTES, 40 DAYS, IN EACH CASE AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF THIS SECURITY), ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSES (D) OR (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM.”

“EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.”

(iii)           Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Definitive Note, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a Definitive Note that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Initial Note).

(iv)          After a transfer of any Initial Notes during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to such Initial Notes, as the case may be, all requirements pertaining to the Restricted Notes Legend on such Initial Notes shall cease to apply and the requirements that any such Initial Notes be issued in global form shall continue to apply.

(v)           Upon the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Notes pursuant to which Holders of such Initial Notes are offered Exchange Notes in exchange for their Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to Initial Notes that Initial Notes be issued in global form shall continue to apply, and Exchange Notes in global form without the Restricted Notes Legend will be deposited with the Notes Custodian and the Initial Notes cancelled.

(vi)          Upon a sale or transfer after the expiration of the Restricted Period of any Initial Note acquired pursuant to Regulation S, all requirements that such Initial Note bear the Restricted Notes Legend shall cease to apply and the requirements requiring any such Initial Note be issued in global form shall continue to apply.

(f)            Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by DTC to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

(g)           Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(h)           All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(i)            Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Transfer Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by ‎Section 2.02(e) hereof, contain the applicable Restricted Notes Legend set forth in ‎Section 2.02(e)(ii) hereof.

(j)             By its acceptance of any Note containing any legend in ‎Section 2.02(e), each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in such legend in ‎Section 2.02(e) and agrees that it shall transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.

Article 3
The Notes

Section 3.01.          Amount; Series; Terms.

(a)            There is hereby created and designated two Series of Securities under the Base Indenture: the title of the 2026 Notes shall be “1.650% Notes due 2026” and the title of the 2031 Notes shall be “2.650% Notes due 2031.” The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this First 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 or Authorizing Resolution with respect to such other Series of Securities or Officer’s Certificate establishing such Series of Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements.

(b)           The aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this First Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial 2026 Notes”) shall be limited to $400,000,000, and the aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this First Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial 2031 Notes,” and together with the Initial 2026 Notes, the “Initial Notes”) shall be limited to $400,000,000, subject, in each case, to increase as set forth in ‎Section 3.04.

(c)            The Stated Maturity of the 2026 Notes, on which principal thereof is due and payable, shall be July 15, 2026 and the Stated Maturity of the 2031 Notes, on which principal thereof is due and payable, shall be July 15, 2031. The Notes shall be payable and may be presented for payment, purchase, redemption, registration of transfer and exchange at the office of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

(d)           The 2026 Notes shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.650% per year and the 2031 Notes shall accrue interest at the rate of 2.650% per year, in each case beginning on July 2, 2021 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as further provided in the forms of Notes annexed hereto as Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Interest Payment Dates for the Notes shall be January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2022, and the Regular Record Date for any interest payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding December 31 and June 30, respectively; provided that upon the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes, interest shall be payable on such Stated Maturity from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided, and shall include the required payment of principal or premium, if any. If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

(e)            The Notes of each Series will be initially issued in the form of one or more Global Notes, deposited with the Trustee, as Notes Custodian, or its nominee, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Base Indenture.

(f)            Payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on a Global Note registered in the name of or held by the Depositary or its nominee will be made in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder of such Global Note. If the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Note, payment of interest on certificated Notes in definitive form may, at the Company’s option, be made by (i) check mailed directly to Holders of such Notes at their registered addresses or (ii) upon request of any Holder of at least $1,000,000 principal amount of Notes, wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee.

Section 3.02.          Denominations. The Notes of each Series shall be issuable only in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.03.          Book-entry Provisions for Global Securities. Except for the circumstances described in Article 2 of the Base Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

Section 3.04.          Additional Notes. The Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue pursuant to the Indenture additional Notes of a Series (“Additional Notes”) having the same terms as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the applicable Series of Notes in all respects, except for the issue date, the public offering price and, if applicable, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes and the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes; provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the applicable Series of Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Such Additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single Series with, and will have the same terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise as, the applicable Series of Notes (including any Exchange Notes issued with respect to such Series in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement), and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to such Series of Notes.

Article 4
Redemption or Repurchase of Securities

Section 4.01.          Applicability of Base Indenture. Subject to Section 1.02 hereof, the provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to redemptions of the Notes pursuant to ‎Section 4.02 hereof.

Section 4.02.          Optional Redemption.

(a)            The Company may redeem the 2026 Notes and the 2031 Notes at its option, either in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the applicable Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date:

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

(ii)            the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted by the Company to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points for the 2026 Notes and 20 basis points for the 2031 Notes.

(b)           The Company may redeem the 2026 Notes and the 2031 Notes at its option, either in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after the applicable Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

(c)           Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes, or portions thereof, called for redemption.

Section 4.03.          Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Redemption.

(a)            In the event that (x) the Company has not delivered an Escrow Certificate to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee prior to 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on or prior to April 2, 2022 (the date that is nine months after the Issue Date), (y) the Escrowed Property is released to the Company or to such other person as the Company directs but the distribution is not consummated at or prior to 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day following the date on which such Escrowed Property is so released or (z) the Company notifies the Escrow Agent and the Trustee in writing that the Company will not pursue the distribution (the earliest such event described in clause (x), (y) or (z), if any, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company will be required to redeem the Notes then outstanding (such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”).

(b)            In the event that the Company becomes obligated to redeem the Notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Company will promptly, and in any event not more than ten Business Days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event, deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee notice (the date on which such notice is delivered, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Notice Date”) of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which such Notes will be redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date,” which date shall be no later than the third Business Day following the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice Date) and to the Trustee a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption for the Trustee to deliver to each registered Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption, the Trustee will promptly mail, or deliver electronically if such Notes are held by any Depositary (including, without limitation, DTC) in accordance with such Depositary’s customary procedures, such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (so long as such notice is delivered to the Trustee at least one Business Day prior to the date such notice is to be sent (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree)). On the Business Day immediately following the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice Date, the Escrow Agent, without the requirement of further notice to or action by the Company or any other person, shall liquidate all Escrowed Property and release the Escrowed Property to the Trustee. On or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if necessary, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient, when taken together with such liquidated Escrowed Property, to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on all Notes to be redeemed on such date. The Trustee shall apply such liquidated Escrowed Property and such deposited funds on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date to the Special Mandatory Redemption. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will release to the Company any liquidated Escrowed Property or other deposited funds remaining after the Notes are redeemed.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on any Series of Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates in accordance with the Notes and the Indenture.

(d)           The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes, except for the Special Mandatory Redemption pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof, if applicable.

Section 4.04.           Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control.

(a)            If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to a Series of Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem such Notes as described in ‎Section 4.02 of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company is required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes of such Series to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes of such Series, at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the Notes or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute a Change of Control, the Company will electronically deliver or mail a notice to each Holder of the applicable Series of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the payment 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 electronically delivered or mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if electronically delivered or mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(b)           On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(i)             accept for payment all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii)           deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and

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

(c)            The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered.

(d)           The Company is not required to make an offer to repurchase Notes in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner and at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements hereunder for such an offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(e)            If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable outstanding Series of Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Company purchases all of the Notes of such Series validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holders of Notes of such Series and the Trustee, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all Notes of such Series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

(f)            The Company will 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 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 Indenture or the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this ‎Section 4.04 or the Notes by virtue of compliance with such securities laws and regulations.

(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or otherwise, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to repurchase Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event may be waived by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series affected by such waiver.
