(2)

if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or

(3)

the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Note shall be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effective only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or Persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners).

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption. Prior to the applicable Par Call Date for such series, the Company may redeem any series of the Fixed Rate 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:

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Fixed Rate Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points in the case of the 2027 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes and plus 20 basis points in the case of the 2034 Notes less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and

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

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

On or after the applicable Par Call Date for a series of Fixed Rate Notes, the Company may redeem such series of Fixed Rate Notes, 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 such series of Fixed Rate Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

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

The Floating Rate Notes are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity.

The Trustee will have no obligation to calculate or verify the calculation of the amount of the redemption price.

Section 3.02 Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem the Fixed Rate Notes of any series pursuant to this Article III, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.02 upon not later than the earlier of 45 days before the redemption date or the date on which notice is given to the Holders (unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period). Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein and in the Base Indenture.

Section 3.03 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If fewer than all the Fixed Rate Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least three Business Days before the notice of redemption is to be sent to Holders (unless the Trustee agrees to a shorter period of time), an Officers’ Certificate requesting the Trustee select the Fixed Rate Notes of such series to be redeemed. The Trustee shall, subject to applicable law, select the Fixed Rate Notes of such series to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Fixed Rate Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Fixed Rate Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Fixed Rate Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Note to be redeemed. A new Fixed Rate Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Fixed Rate Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Fixed Rate Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Fixed Rate Note. For so long as the Fixed Rate Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

The Trustee shall make the selection of Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed from outstanding Fixed Rate Notes of such series not previously called for redemption. Provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture that apply to the Fixed Rate Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of the Fixed Rate Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Fixed Rate Notes or portions of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed.

Section 3.04 Notice of Redemption.

At least 10 days but not more than 30 days before the applicable redemption date of any series of Fixed Rate Notes, the Company shall send a notice of redemption by first-class mail or by electronic transmission to each Holder of such series of Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address; provided, that redemption notices may be delivered more than 30 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Fixed Rate Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

The notice shall identify the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed (including the series, issue date, interest rate and maturity date) and shall state:

(a) the redemption date;

(b) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;

(d) that the Fixed Rate Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(e) if fewer than all the outstanding Fixed Rate Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed;

(f) if the Fixed Rate Notes are to be redeemed in part, upon surrender of such Fixed Rate Notes, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Fixed Rate Note for the principal amount remaining unredeemed;

(g) that, unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Fixed Rate Notes or portions thereof called for redemption;

(j) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Fixed Rate Notes; and

(k) that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all of the conditions stated in the notice shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all of the conditions stated in the notice shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least three Business Days before the notice of redemption is to be sent to Holders (unless the Trustee agrees to a shorter period), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information required by this Section 3.04.

In connection with any redemption of Fixed Rate Notes described in this Section 3.04, any such redemption and/or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of any related refinancing or a Change of Control.

Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

Section 3.06 Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed on that date.

Section 3.07 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Fixed Rate Note that is redeemed in part, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense), a new Fixed Rate Note of such series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Fixed Rate Notes surrendered.

ARTICLE IV

CHANGE OF CONTROL

Section 4.01 Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to a series of Notes, unless, with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes, such Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, with such notice of redemption delivered on or before 30 days after such Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of such Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to an integral multiple of $1,000) of such Xxxxxx’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any proposed Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the proposed Change of Control, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and specifying:

(i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.01 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(ii) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iii) the CUSIP numbers for the Notes;

(iv) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(v) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(vi) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(vii) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election referred to in clause (vi) if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Xxxxxx is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased;

(viii) that Holders whose Notes of any series are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes of such series equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion will be equal to a minimum of $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

(ix) if the notice is sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change in Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change in Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(c) The Company shall cause the Change of Control Offer to remain open for at least 20 Business Days or such longer period as is required by applicable law. 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 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 provisions of this Section 4.01, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.01 by virtue of such conflict.

(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, 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 of Notes properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

(e) The Paying Agent will promptly send to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and send (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note of the same series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be equal to a minimum of $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(f) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.01 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.01, if an Event of Default exists under the Indenture (which is unrelated to the repurchase provisions of this Section 4.01), including Events of Default arising with respect to other series of Securities, the Company shall not be required to repurchase the Notes.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Company and the Guarantors, and the Trustee does not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this First Supplemental Indenture and perform its obligations hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no duties, responsibilities or liabilities are assumed, or shall be construed to be assumed, by the Trustee by reason of this First Supplemental Indenture.

of war or terrorism, (v) civil or military disturbances or unrest, (vi) nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, (vii) epidemics or pandemics, (viii) disease, (ix) national emergency, (x) interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, (xi) communications system failure, (xii) malware or ransomware, (xiii) the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire, telex or other communication or wire facility or (xiv) unavailability of any securities clearing system; it being understood that the Trustee shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Section 7.11 Calculation Agent.

The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate and its calculation of the amount of interest for any Interest Period will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. All percentages resulting from any calculation are to be rounded to the nearest one hundred- thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward. Dollar amounts used in the calculation are to be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). So long as Compounded SOFR is required to be determined with respect to the Notes, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent. In the event that any then-acting Calculation Agent shall be unable or unwilling to act, or that such Calculation Agent shall fail duly to establish the Compounded SOFR for any Interest Period, or that the Company proposes to remove such Calculation Agent, the Company shall appoint the Company or another person which is a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the Calculation Agent.

Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall have any (i) responsibility or liability for (A) the determination of whether a Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred or (B) the determination or calculation of a Benchmark Replacement, Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and, in each such case under clauses (A) and (B) above, shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the selection, determination, and/or calculation thereof as provided by the Company or its designee, as applicable, and (ii) liability or responsibility for any failure or delay in performing its duties hereunder as a result of the unavailability of a Benchmark rate as described in the definition thereof, including, without limitation, as a result of the Company or its designee’s failure to select a Benchmark Replacement, Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or the failure of the Company or its designee to calculate a Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. Each of the Trustee and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on all notices from the Company or its designee regarding any Benchmark, Benchmark Replacement, Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, including, without limitation, in regard to a Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Replacement Conforming

Changes. Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be responsible or liable for the failure or delay of the Company or its designee in the performance of the Company’s or such designee’s duties or obligations with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event, nor shall they be under any obligation to monitor or oversee the Company’s or its designee’s performance with respect thereto. The Trustee and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made, and any instruction, notice, officers’ certificate or other instruction or information provided by the Company or its designee with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event without independent verification, investigation or inquiry of any kind. If the Calculation Agent at any time or times determines in its reasonable judgment that guidance is needed to perform its duties, or if it is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Calculation Agent may (but is not obligated to) reasonably request guidance in the form of written instructions (or, in its sole discretion, oral instruction followed by written confirmation) from the Company or its designee on which the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely without liability. The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to refrain from action pending receipt of such instruction.

The Company will give the Trustee and the Calculation Agent written notice of the person appointed as its designee.

Section 7.12 SOFR Unavailable.

If a SOFR Index_Start or SOFR Index_End is not published on the associated Interest Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, “Compounded SOFR” means, for the applicable Interest Period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days” shall be removed. If the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR_i”) does not so appear for any day, “_i” in the Observation Period, SOFR_i for such day “_i” shall be the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which the Secured Overnight Financing Rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website.

Section 7.13 Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event .

(a) If the Company or its designee determine on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Floating Rate Notes in respect of all determinations on such date and for all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(b) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

(c) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company or its designee pursuant to this Section 7.13, including a determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

(i) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

(ii) will be made in the sole discretion of the Company or its designee; and

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Floating Rate Notes, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the Floating Rate Notes or any other party.

(d) If the event that gives rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

(e) For purposes of the definitions of Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Event, references to Benchmark also include any reference rate underlying such Benchmark.

Section 7.14 U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

The parties acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

Section 7.15 Electronic Signatures.

This First Supplemental Indenture and any certificate, agreement or other document to be signed in connection with this First Supplemental Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) in the case of this First Supplemental Indenture and any certificate, agreement or other document to be signed in connection with this First Supplemental Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby, other than any Notes, any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”). Each electronic signature (except in the case of any Notes) or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature (except in the case of any Notes),

of any party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings. For the avoidance of doubt, all notices, approvals, consents, requests and any communications hereunder or with respect to the Notes must be in writing (provided that any communication sent to Trustee hereunder must be in the form of a document that is signed manually or by way of a digital signature provided by DocuSign or Adobe (or such other digital signature provider as specified in writing to Trustee by the authorized representative)), in English.

KEURIG XX XXXXXX INC., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of DOLLARS or such other Principal Amount as shall be set forth on Schedule I hereto on March 15, 2027. The interest rate for the Initial Interest Period shall be Compounded SOFR as determined on June 15, 2024 plus 0.88% per annum. Thereafter, the interest rate for any Interest Period will be Compounded SOFR, as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date plus 0.88% per annum. The interest rate shall be reset quarterly on each day on which interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be paid, which will be quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2024, and at maturity (each a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”), until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. If March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 of any year is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day will be the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment

A-1

Date and interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be paid on such next succeeding Business Day (unless such next succeeding Business Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, in which case the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be the Business Day immediately preceding such March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15, and interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be paid on such immediately preceding Business Day). If the maturity date of the Floating Rate Notes is not a Business Day, the payment of principal of, and interest on, the Floating Rate Notes will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will, except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, which will be the March 1 and September 1 (whether or not such date is a Business Day), as the case may be (each, a “Regular Record Date”), immediately preceding each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and either may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to the Indenture (initially the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in St. Xxxx, Minnesota (the “Corporate Trust Office”)), 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 payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register. Payments of principal and interest at maturity will be made against presentation of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office (or such other office as may be established pursuant to the Indenture), by check or wire transfer.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse side hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee or an authenticating agent under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

7. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions 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 times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

10. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Interest shall be payable to and excluding any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date.

14. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or of the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Securities Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

5.100% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2027

1. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 5.100% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) limited in aggregate principal amount to $ issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of March 7, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), and the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2024 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, as so supplemented and as it may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof and interest thereon (including post-default interest), will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s current and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

2. The Notes are subject to redemption at any time and from time to time prior to February 15, 2027, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(i)

(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on February 15, 2027) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and

(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.

On or after February 15, 2027, the Company may redeem the Notes, 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 being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

A-1

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 appear 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) (“H.15 TCM”). 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 February 15, 2027 (as applicable, 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 February 15, 2027 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 TCM 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, February 15, 2027. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on February 15, 2027, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from February 15, 2027, one with a maturity date preceding February 15, 2027, and one with a maturity date following February 15, 2027, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding February 15, 2027. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on February 15, 2027 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.

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

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 30 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Any notice to Holders of Notes of a redemption pursuant to this paragraph 2 hereof will include, among other things set forth in the Indenture, the redemption date, the redemption price, the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date, and conditions applicable to redemption and the name and address of the Paying Agent.

A-2

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. 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 will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

3. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Note, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to an integral multiple of $1,000) of such Xxxxxx’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase. “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event, as such terms are defined in the Indenture. The Change of Control Offer will be made in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture.

4. The payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors, if any, on the terms set forth in the Indenture.

6. 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 Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

A-3

12. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall be payable to and excluding any Interest Payment Date.

15. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

A-4

17. Each Holder of this Note covenants and agrees by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof to comply with and be bound by the foregoing provisions.

18. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

19. All capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

B-1

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 appear 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) (“H.15 TCM”). 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 February 15, 2029 (as applicable, 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 February 15, 2029 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 TCM 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, February 15, 2029. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on February 15, 2029, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from February 15, 2029, one with a maturity date preceding February 15, 2029, and one with a maturity date following February 15, 2029, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding February 15, 2029. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on February 15, 2029 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.

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

B-2

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

4. The payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors, if any, on the terms set forth in the Indenture.

B-3

12. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall be payable to and excluding any Interest Payment Date.

15. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

B-4

17. Each Holder of this Note covenants and agrees by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof to comply with and be bound by the foregoing provisions.

18. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

19. All capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

(ii)

100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
