SECTION 2.1. Designation and Principal Amount. The Notes are hereby authorized and are designated the “2.625% Senior Notes due 2020”, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000, which amount shall be specified in an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Article II of the Base Indenture. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to issue, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, additional Notes (“Additional Notes”), which shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Issue Date (in each case, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto), as the case may be, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, which Additional Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes previously issued; provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. At any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder.

All Notes issued on the Issue Date and Additional Notes, if any, will be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

Interest shall be payable semiannually on February 18 and August 18 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on February 18, 2016, to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Article II of the Base Indenture.

The definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on a steel engraved border or on steel engraved borders or produced by any combination of these methods, if required by any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

The Notes shall be issued on the Issue Date in the form of a permanent global Note (each, a “Global Note” and, collectively, the “Global Notes”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Article II of the Base Indenture and dated the date of their authentication. Each Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Notes of this series, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series may declare all the Notes of this series to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company are Events of Default which will result in the Notes of this series being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of this series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest.

15.	No Recourse Against Others

A director, officer, employee or stockholder (other than the Company), as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
