The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:
1. Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the Securities Act), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-205777), including a prospectus,
relating to certain debt securities and other securities to be issued from time to time by the Company. The Company has also filed, or proposes to file, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement
specifically relating to the Securities (the Prospectus Supplement). The registration statement, as amended at the time it becomes effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the
Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (Rule 430 Information), is referred to herein as the Registration Statement; and as used herein, the term Prospectus means
the Base Prospectus as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the offering of the Securities in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in
connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities and the term Preliminary Prospectus means each preliminary prospectus supplement specifically relating to the offering of the Securities that is used prior to filing the Prospectus,
together with the Base Prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. References herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and the terms supplement, amendment and amend as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus
shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the Exchange Act) subsequent to such date which
are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.
At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the Time
of Sale), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the Pricing Disclosure Package): a Preliminary Prospectus dated November 9, 2015, and each free-writing prospectus (as defined pursuant to
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex A hereto.
2. Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters.
(a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on
the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of
Securities set forth opposite such Underwriters name in Schedule 1 hereto at the price set forth on Schedule 2 hereto plus accrued interest, if any, from November 13, 2015 to the
Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). The Company will not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities except upon payment for all the Securities to be purchased as provided herein.
(b) The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Securities as soon after the effectiveness of this
Agreement as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Securities
to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.
(c) Payment for and delivery of the Securities will be made at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP at 9:00 A.M., New York City
time, on November 13, 2015, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment and
delivery is referred to herein as the Closing Date.
(d) Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company to the Representatives against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (DTC), for the account of the Underwriters, of one or more global notes
representing the Securities (collectively, the Global Note). The Global Note will be made available for inspection by the Representatives not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date.
(e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arms length contractual
counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, or any
other person with respect to this offering. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company, or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The
Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Representatives nor any other
Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Representatives or any Underwriter of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will
be performed solely for the benefit of the Representatives or such Underwriter and shall not be on behalf of the Company or any other person.

concession and reallowance figures appearing in the third and fourth paragraphs under the caption Underwriting and the information contained in the eighth and ninth paragraphs under the caption Underwriting (collectively, the
Underwriter Information).
(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the Indemnified Person)
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the Indemnifying Person) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying
Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have
notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to
represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person
has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in
addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm
for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and any such separate firm for the Company, its
directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person
or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other,
from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also
the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the
Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above,
any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriters obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or
remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This
Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
9. Termination. This Agreement may
be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially
limited on or by the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general
moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity
or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and
in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
10. Defaulting Underwriter.
(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on
such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company, on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any
Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters
to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone
the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in
this Agreement, the term Underwriter includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a
defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities
of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains
unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company, shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the
principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriters pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements
for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased
exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the
non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in
Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.
(d)
Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.
11. Payment of Expenses.
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay
or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any
taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Pricing Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the
Companys counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions
as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the reasonable related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for
rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing
with, and clearance of the offering by FINRA, and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any road show presentation to potential
investors, except as set forth below. Except as provided in Section 2(c), Section 7 and above in this Section 11, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their counsel
and, as applicable, any advertising expenses in connection with any offers they make and all travel, lodging and other expenses of the Underwriters incurred by them in connection with any road show.
(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company
for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters, or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason not due solely to the fault of the Underwriters permitted under this Agreement, the
Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering
contemplated hereby.
12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor
merely by reason of such purchase.
13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties
and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and
payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.
14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term
affiliate has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term business day means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term
subsidiary has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (d) the term significant subsidiary has the meaning set forth in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.
15. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients,
as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and higher integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The terms and notations contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture as supplemented by
this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
(b) Each Global Note will bear the DTC Legend.
Section 2.02. Paying Agent; Depository. (a) The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial agent of the Company for the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes, and the office of the Trustee located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, be and hereby is, designated as the office or agency where the Notes may be
presented for payment and where notices to or demands upon the Company in respect of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be issued may be served. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind
the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which the Paying Agent acts.
(b) The Depository shall
initially be DTC and any and all successors thereto appointed as Depository by the Company.
Section 2.03. Registration, Transfer
and Exchange. (a) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depository thereof, will bear the DTC Legend.
(i) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depository. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a
beneficial interest therein) will be
7
limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees, except (y) as set forth in (iii) of this Section 2.03(a) and
(z) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depository in
accordance with customary procedures of the Depository and in compliance with this Section 2.03.
(ii) Agent Members
will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and
Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depository or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in
a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.
(iii) If (x) the Depository notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has
received a written request from the Depository, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in
the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depository, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled.
(b) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the Holder thereof or its nominee.
(c) (i) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in
another Global Note, the Trustee will (y) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) record a like increase in the
principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will,
upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to
beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
(ii) Global Note to
Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the Trustee will (y) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such
transfer or exchange and (z) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case
of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable.
8
(iii) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is
transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or
exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having
an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
(iv) Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated
Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or
exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or
unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
this Section 2.03 will become effective immediately after the authentication and delivery of Global Notes evidencing $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes and $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes.

by the Company and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
12
(d) The Company shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such 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 such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.09, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 3.09 by virtue of any such conflict.
Section 2.08. Special Mandatory Redemption. A new Section 3.10
shall be added to the Indenture as follows:
Section 3.10. Special Mandatory Redemption.

reason (the Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger Date), the 2020 Notes shall become due and payable on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.
(b) Notice of a special mandatory redemption will be mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, within ten business days after the occurrence of an
event triggering such redemption to each Holder of 2020 Notes at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all of the 2020 Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) are deposited with the Paying Agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the 2020 Notes will cease to bear
interest and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights under the 2020 Notes shall terminate.
Section 2.09. Limitation on Liens. For the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, a new Section 5.05 shall be added to the
Indenture as follows:
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to,
create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (an Initial Lien), other than Permitted Liens, on any Principal Property to secure any Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless it has made or will make effective provision
whereby the Notes and any other debt securities of any series issued pursuant to the Indenture and
13
having the benefit of this Section 5.05 will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other Debt secured by such Lien. Any Lien created for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes and any other debt securities of any series issued pursuant to this Indenture and having the benefit of this Section 5.05 shall provide by its terms that such Lien will be automatically released and discharged upon the
release and discharge of the applicable Initial Lien.
Section 2.10. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. For
the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, a new Section 5.06 shall be added to the Indenture as follows:
The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction covering any Principal Property, unless (i) pursuant to Section 5.05 of this Indenture, the Company or the Restricted
Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a Lien on such Principal Property in a principal amount equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes and any other debt securities of
any series issued pursuant to the Indenture and having the benefit of this Section 5.06; or (ii) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, during the 270 days following the effective date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, applies an
amount equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction to the voluntary retirement of long-term Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or to the acquisition of one or more Principal Properties.

ZOETIS INC.
3.450%
SENIOR NOTE DUE 2020

Zoetis Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein called the Company, which term includes any
successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede &Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[●], or such greater or lesser amount set forth in the attached Schedule

Original Issue Date) or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for semi-annually at the rate of 3.450% per annum, on May 13 and November 13 (each such date, an
Interest Payment Date), commencing May 13, 2016, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
Payment of Interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or made available for payment, by 10:00 a.m. New York time, on any
Interest Payment Date, will, as provided in the Indenture (defined below), be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor securities) is registered at the close of business on the
April 28 or October 29 (whether or not a Business Day, as defined in the Indenture), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the Regular Record Date). Any such interest not punctually paid or duly
provided for (Defaulted Interest) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest, may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor securities)
is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the Special Record Date) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than ten
days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Place of Payment. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on this Note
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 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 this Note may at the Companys option be paid in immediately available funds by transfer to an account maintained by the
payee located in the United States of America.
A-1
Time of Payment. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or any
date fixed for redemption or repayment of the Notes shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note), payment of principal or interest, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or the date so fixed for redemption or repayment, and no interest shall accrue in respect of the delay.
General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an indenture (the Base Indenture), dated as of January 28, 2013, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (herein called the Trustee, which term includes any successor Trustee under the
Indenture with respect to a series of which this Note is a part), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of November 13, 2015 (the Second Supplemental Indenture and, together with the Base
Indenture, the Indenture), among the Company and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities designated as 3.450% Senior Notes due 2020
(collectively, the Notes), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000.
Further Issuance.
The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Securities (the Additional Securities) of this series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other
terms as the Notes. Any Additional Securities of this series and the Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the Notes shall include the Additional Securities unless the context otherwise requires;
provided that no Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing; provided further that if any such Additional Securities are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such
Additional Securities shall have a separate CUSIP number and shall not constitute a single series with such Notes.
Events of
Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
Sinking Fund. The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.
Special Mandatory Redemption. If the Acquisition has not been consummated by May 1, 2016 or if, prior to such date, the Purchase
Agreement is terminated, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.
A-2
Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at any time, at the option of the
Company, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, on any date prior to their Maturity at a redemption price, calculated pursuant to the Indenture, which includes accrued interest thereon,
if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in accordance with the procedures of DTC. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice
of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed; provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral
multiple of $1,000. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of this Note.
Repurchase upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the
Notes, the Company shall be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes on the terms set forth in the Indenture.

of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions
apply to this Note.
Modification and Waivers; Obligations of the Company Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions
as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series. Such amendment may be effected under the Indenture at any time by the
Company, and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in
the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of individual series to waive on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such individual series certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Note and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof 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 or 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 time, place, and rate, and in the
currency, herein prescribed.

No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, agent, employee, incorporator,
stockholder, partner, member, or manager of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under any Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
Limitation on Suits. As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Note will have any right to
institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the Holders of not less
than 33% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request, and offered indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, to the Trustee to institute such proceedings as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit
instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Registration of Transfer or Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the register of the Notes maintained by the Security Registrar upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, at the office or agency of the
Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, 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

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

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 Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes (except with respect to certain payments of Defaulted Interest), 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.

Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that
such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and

Ladies & Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Zoetis Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and are rendering this opinion in connection
with the registration by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) of $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Companys 3.450% Senior Notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes) and $750,000,000
in aggregate principal amount of the Companys 4.500% Senior Notes Due 2025 (the 2025 Notes and together with the 2020 Notes, the Notes), issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of January 28, 2013,
between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the Base Indenture), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 13, 2015 (the Second Supplemental
Indenture and together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture), pursuant to the prospectus, dated July 21, 2015 (the Base Prospectus), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, dated
November 9, 2015 (the Prospectus Supplement and, together with the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus), relating to the registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-205777), filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the Commission) on July 21, 2015 (such registration statement, as amended to the date hereof, is herein referred to as the Registration Statement).
We have reviewed such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or
appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. We have assumed that all signatures are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all copies of documents submitted to us conform to the originals.
We have assumed further that the Trustee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture.
We have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by us
to be responsible.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, when the Notes have been (a) duly executed by the Company
and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and (b) duly issued and delivered against payment therefor as contemplated by the Prospectus, the Notes will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors rights and to general
equity principles.
We are members of the bar of the State of New York. We do not express any opinion herein on any laws other
than the law of the State of New York.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We
also hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading Legal Matters in the prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.

Very truly yours, |
