Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Interest Payment Dates for the Notes shall be March 28 and September 28 of each year, beginning on September 28, 2023, and the “Record Date” for any interest payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding March 13 and September 13, respectively; provided that upon the Stated Maturity 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; and provided further, the “Record Date” for any interest, principal, or premium, if any, payable on the Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be the immediately preceding March 13. 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 shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest shall 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 shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depository or its nominee, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 3.03 of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture.

(f) Payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on a Global Security registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee shall be made in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Security. If the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on certificated Notes in definitive form may, at the Company’s option, be made by (i) check mailed directly to Holders at their registered addresses or (ii) upon request of any Holder of at least $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes, wire transfer to an account located in the United States of America maintained by the payee.

Section 3.02. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.03. Book-entry Provisions for Global Securities.

(a) Each Global Security authenticated under the Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or nominee thereof or custodian therefor. Each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of the Indenture.

(b) Subject to Section 2.7 of the Base Indenture, any exchange of a Global Security for other Notes may be made in whole or in part, and all Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depository for such Global Security shall direct in writing to the Trustee.

(c) Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03(f) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes.

(e) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the fifth and sixth paragraphs of Section 2.7 of the Base Indenture, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, with such reasonable adjustments, if any, to the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto as may be necessary or advisable to reflect that such definitive Notes are not Global Securities.

(f) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depository (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, 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 Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depository, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

Section 3.04. Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of the Indenture, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue pursuant to the Indenture additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) having terms and conditions identical to those of the Initial Notes and ranking equally and ratably with the Initial Notes, except that Additional Notes:

(i) may have a different issue date from the Initial Notes;

(ii) may have a different issue price from the Initial Notes; and

(iii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on the Initial Notes;

provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the outstanding Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Such Additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with, and shall have the same terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise as, the Initial Notes and shall vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes.

The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and, upon their purchase, such Notes shall no longer be considered “outstanding” for purposes of determining whether the requisite Holders of the required principal amount of the Notes have concurred in any direction, amendment, waiver or consent under the Indenture.

Section 3.05. No Sinking Fund. The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund.

ARTICLE 4

(i) (x) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date for such Notes on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (y) interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date, and

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

(d) Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depository’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.

(e) The following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 4.01(e):

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following:

(i) The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appears after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). 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 Stated Maturity (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 Stated Maturity 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.

(ii) 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 Stated Maturity, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Stated Maturity, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Stated Maturity, one with a maturity date preceding the Stated Maturity, and one with a maturity date following the Stated Maturity, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Stated Maturity. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Stated Maturity, 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.

(iii) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Trustee be responsible for any actions, determinations or calculations in connection with the Redemption Price and the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 4.01.

(f) If the Company partially redeems the Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pursuant to the Depository’s procedures (or, in the case of certificated Notes, as provided in the Base Indenture). No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note to be redeemed will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new certificated Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of any certificated Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original certificated Notes. For so long as the Notes are held by the Depository, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depository.

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

Section 4.02. Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its option to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Supplemental Indenture, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in a minimum amount of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control or event that may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) to each Holder of such 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 (the “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase such Notes on the repurchase date specified in the notice at the option of the Holders, which date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered. The Change of Control Notice shall, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Company’s obligation to repurchase the Notes 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 shall, to the extent lawful:

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

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase 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 Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Company.

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

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.02, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in connection with such Change of Control Repurchase Event in the manner and at the times required and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such a Change of Control Offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(e) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company pursuant to Section 4.02(d) above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described in Section 4.02(b) above, 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, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(f) The Company shall 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 any repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.02, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.02 by virtue thereof; provided that the Company otherwise uses commercially reasonable efforts to permit Holders to exercise their rights and to fulfill its obligations in the time and in the manner specified in this Section 4.02 to the extent permitted by such securities laws or regulations.

The Company issued the Securities of this Series under an Indenture dated as of April 14, 2022 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 14, 2023 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each case between the Company and the Trustee. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the Series designated on the face hereof as the “5.000% Senior Notes due 2026,” initially limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein are used as defined in the Indenture.

(5) Redemption. The Company may redeem the Securities of this Series in whole at any time or from time to time in part prior to their Stated Maturity, at its option, pursuant to the following terms:

(a) Prior to March 28, 2026, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date for such Notes.

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depository’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.

(d) If the Company partially redeems the Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pursuant to the Depository’s procedures (or, in the case of certificated Notes, as provided in the Base Indenture). No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note to be redeemed will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new certificated Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of any certificated Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original certificated Notes. For so long as the Notes are held by the Depository, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depository.

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

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Securities of this Series, unless the Company shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section (5) hereof to redeem the Securities of this Series, each Holder of the Securities of this Series shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in a minimum amount of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities of such Series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

A-5

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the Securities of this Series or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control or event that may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) to each Holder of the Securities, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering (the “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase such Securities on the repurchase date specified in the notice at the option of the Holders, which date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered. The Change of Control Notice shall, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Company’s obligation to repurchase the Securities is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

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

The Company shall 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 any repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section (6), the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section (6) by virtue thereof; provided that the Company otherwise uses commercially reasonable efforts to permit Holders to exercise their rights and to fulfill its obligations in the time and in the manner specified in this Section (6) to the extent permitted by such securities laws or regulations.
