In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

All references to “interest” on the Notes will be deemed to include any additional interest thereof pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

(ii) Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC (or by the Trustee as the Notes Custodian for DTC) or under such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat DTC as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request:

(i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(B) are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: (x) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or (y) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect (in each case in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note); or

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with:

(i) certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the applicable Initial Note) that such Definitive Note is being transferred (A) to a person reasonably believed to be QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) to a non-U.S. Person outside the United States in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the DTC account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between DTC and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of an order from the Company, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through DTC, in accordance with this Second Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the Applicable Procedures therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver a written or electronic order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or another Global Note and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

(ii) Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note) from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act and, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear, Clearstream or their respective participants.

(iii) Beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and if (1) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of Notes in compliance with Rule 144A and (2) the transferor of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, is being transferred to a Person (A) who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB, (B) purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (C) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the States of the United States and other jurisdictions.

(iv) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.15 of the Base Indenture (as modified herein)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor to DTC or a nominee of such successor to DTC.

(vi) In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.15 of the Base Indenture prior to the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Notes.

(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).

(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 Second 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.

(b) Principal Amount. The 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 will be initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $381,932,000 (the “Initial Notes”). The Company may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes (including any Exchange Notes) (“Additional Notes”) having the same terms as the Notes in all respects, except for the issue date, the issue price, the initial interest payment date, and the initial date of interest accrual. Any such Additional Notes shall be consolidated with and form a single Series with the Notes for all purposes of the Indenture. If the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a different CUSIP number.

(d) Maturity Date. The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on October 1, 2029.

(e) Notes Interest Rate. The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.000% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes, in arrears, to the Holders of such Notes (or one or more predecessor Securities) at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, which shall be the March 15th and September 15th (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the applicable interest payment date, respectively. If an interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, interest will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such interest payment date and no interest shall accrue in respect of the delay.

(f) Interest Generally. The date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be April 1, 2025, or the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that each installment of interest, premium, if any, and principal on the Notes may at the Company’s option be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States.

(c) Par Redemption. On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

(d) Determination Binding. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the applicable redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.6 Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 2.5 or has exercised its option to satisfy and discharge the Indenture with respect to the Notes as set forth in Article XI of the Base Indenture, Holders of such Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part in an integral multiple of $1,000 of their Notes (provided that no Note will be purchased in part if the remaining principal amount of such Note would be less than $2,000) pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes subject to such offer plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but, excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering 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 mail or otherwise deliver a notice to Holders of the Notes subject to such offer describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the 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 mailed or otherwise delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed or otherwise delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Company must 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 Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Company shall only be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder who has properly tendered Notes the applicable Change of Control 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; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

The Company’s obligation to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived by the Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Notes affected by such waiver in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Base Indenture.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event and the Company purchases all of the Notes 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 and the Trustee, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all Notes 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.
