TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within- mentioned Indenture.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities (herein called the “Securities”) of the Company, issued and to be issued pursuant to the Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated by the Company as its 8.000% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

The Company issued this Note pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 8, 2019 (herein called the “Indenture” which term, for the purpose of this Note, shall include the Officer’s Certificate dated July 13, 2020, delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Indenture), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which 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 Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Notes are issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of any authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency described below where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer.

The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, reopen the Notes and issue additional Notes.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to April 15, 2025 (the “Par Call Date”), at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed through the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to, but not including, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 50 basis points plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. On and after the Par Call Date, the Notes are redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of the Notes, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to:

●

the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Notes mature on the Par Call Date), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight-line basis rounding to the nearest month; or

●

if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date.

The Treasury Rate will be calculated at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date by the Quotation Agent.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent 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 Notes (assuming, for this purpose, that the Notes mature on the Par Call Date).

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, such average in any case to be determined by the Quotation Agent, or (3) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

“Quotation Agent” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, each of (1) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (or their respective affiliates that are primary U.S. Government securities dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of them shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States of America (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute for it another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer or Dealers selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, 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 Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day in The City of New York preceding such Redemption Date.

Notice of any redemption will be sent at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price (or any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed), on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depository or, in the case of Definitive Notes, by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

All notices of redemption shall state the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price (or, if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof), if fewer than all the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed, that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note, or portion thereof, to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, that interest on each Note, or portion thereof, called for redemption will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date and the place or places where Notes may be surrendered for redemption.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount hereof will be issued in authorized denominations in the name of the Holder hereof upon surrender hereof.

For all purposes of this Note and the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption by the Company of this Note shall relate, in the case that this Note is redeemed, or to be redeemed, by the Company only in part, to that portion of the principal amount of this Note that has been, or is to be, redeemed.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, in certain circumstances therein specified, the amendment thereof without the consent of the Holders of the Securities. The Indenture also permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations under the Indenture of the Company and the rights of Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of (i) the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series voting as a single class or (ii) if fewer than all of the series of the Outstanding Securities are affected by such addition, change, elimination, or modification, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so affected voting as a single class (including, for the avoidance of doubt, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange for, such debt securities). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and 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.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note, subject to the provisions for satisfaction and discharge in Article Four of the Indenture, shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Indenture permits the Company, by irrevocably depositing cash or U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts and maturities sufficient to pay and discharge at the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Notes with the Trustee in trust, solely for the benefit of the Holders of all Outstanding Notes, to defease the Indenture with respect to the Notes (subject to specified exceptions), and, upon such deposit and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged its entire indebtedness on the Notes.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of Notes is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of a Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made by the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture not involving any transfer).

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof).

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

All undefined terms (whether or not capitalized) used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
