COVENANTS

Section 3.01. Additional Covenants. In addition to the covenants stated in Article Ten of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be subject to the covenants set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below. For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below are solely for the benefit of the Holders of the 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes, and are not for the benefit of, or applicable to, any other debt securities issued under the Base Indenture or any other supplemental indenture.

Section 3.02. Definitions. The following definitions shall be applicable to Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below:

“Attributable Debt” means, at the time of determination as to any lease, the present value (discounted at the actual rate, if stated, or, if no rate is stated, the implicit rate of interest of such lease transaction as determined by the Company’s Chairman, President or any Vice Chairman, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Company’s Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer), calculated using the interval of scheduled rental payments under such lease, of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of such lease (excluding any subsequent renewal or other extension options held by the lessee). The term “net rental payments” means, with respect to any lease for any period, the sum of the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, but not including, however, any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rental) on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates, indemnities or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amounts required to be paid by such lessee thereunder contingent upon the amount of sales, earnings or profits or of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates, indemnities or similar charges; provided, however, that, in the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty in an amount which is less than the total discounted net rental payments required to be paid from the later of the first date upon which such lease may be so terminated and the date of the determination of net rental payments, “net rental payments” shall include the then current amount of such penalty from the later of such two dates, and shall exclude the rental payments relating to the remaining period of the lease commencing with the later of such two dates.

“Consolidated Tangible Assets” means, on the date of determination, total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case as set forth on the most recently available consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

“Debt” means notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed.

“Manufacturing Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary (A) substantially all the property of which is located within the continental United States of America, (B) which owns a Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property and (C) in which the Company’s investment, direct or indirect and whether in the form of equity, debt, advances or otherwise, is in excess of $2,500,000,000 as shown on the consolidated books of the Company as of the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of determination; provided, however, that “Manufacturing Subsidiary” shall not include any Subsidiary which is principally engaged in leasing or in financing installment receivables or otherwise providing financial or insurance services to the Company or others or which is principally engaged in financing the Company’s operations outside the continental United States of America.

“Mortgage” means any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or other similar encumbrance.

“Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property” means all real property located within the continental United States of America and constituting part of any manufacturing plant or facility owned and operated by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary, together with such manufacturing plant or facility (including all plumbing, electrical, ventilating, heating, cooling, lighting and other utility systems, ducts and pipes attached to or constituting a part thereof, but excluding all trade fixtures (unless such trade fixtures are attached to the manufacturing plant or facility in a manner that does not permit removal therefrom without causing substantial damage thereto), business machinery, equipment, motorized vehicles, tools, supplies and materials, security systems, cameras, inventory and other personal property and materials), unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, such manufacturing plant or facility is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its consolidated affiliates as an entity.

“Subsidiary” means any corporation of which at least a majority of the outstanding stock having by the terms thereof ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors of such corporation (irrespective of whether or not at the time stock of any other class or classes of such corporation shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the time owned by the Company, or by one or more Subsidiaries, or by the Company and one or more Subsidiaries.

Section 3.03. Limitation on Liens. For the benefit of the Notes, the Company will not, nor will the Company permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, issue or assume any Debt secured by a Mortgage upon any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property of the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Manufacturing Subsidiary (whether such Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Debt that the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Debt, unless the aggregate amount of Debt issued or assumed and so secured by Mortgages, together with all other Debt of the Company and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, but not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (vii) of the immediately following paragraph, does not at the time exceed 15% of the Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Company.

(v) Mortgages in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any political subdivision thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction or improvement of the property subject to such Mortgages (including, without limitation, Mortgages incurred in connection with pollution control, industrial revenue or similar financing);

(vi) Mortgages existing on August 2, 2022; or

(vii) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (vi) or in this clause (vii); provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

Section 3.04. Limitation on Sales and Lease-Backs. For the benefit of the Notes, the Company will not, nor will the Company permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary of any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property owned by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary on August 2, 2022 (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than five years and except for leases between the Company and a Manufacturing Subsidiary or between Manufacturing Subsidiaries), which property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary to such person, unless either:

(i) the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03 above, to issue, assume, extend, renew or replace Debt secured by a Mortgage upon such property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement without equally and ratably securing the Notes; provided, however, that from and after the date on which such arrangement becomes effective the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement shall be deemed for all purposes under Section 3.03 above and this Section 3.04 to be Debt subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 above (which provisions include the exceptions set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 3.03 above); or

(ii) the Company shall apply an amount in cash equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement within 180 days of the effective date of any such arrangement to either (or a combination) of (i) the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or by way of payment at maturity) of Debt of ours or any Manufacturing Subsidiary (other than Debt owned by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary) which by its terms matures at or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt, or (ii) the purchase, construction or development by the Company or a Manufacturing Subsidiary of other comparable property.

Section 3.05. Amendment to Section 704 of the Base Indenture. Section 704 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Commission such information, documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act; provided that any such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the filing of the same with the Commission. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive or actual notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). All required information, documents and reports shall be deemed filed with the Trustee at the time such information, documents and reports are publicly filed with the Commission via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (XXXXX) filing system (or any successor system); provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed pursuant to the XXXXX filing system (or its successor).

ARTICLE 4

FORM OF NOTES

Section 4.01. Form of Notes.

(a) The 2029 Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable tax laws or the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistent herewith, be determined by the signatory authorized by the Company to execute such 2029 Notes, as evidenced by the execution thereof. All 2029 Notes shall be in fully registered form.

(b) The 2032 Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable tax laws or the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistent herewith, be determined by the signatory authorized by the Company to execute such 2032 Notes, as evidenced by the execution thereof. All 2032 Notes shall be in fully registered form.

Section 4.02. Global Securities. Upon their original issuance, the 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes shall each be issued in the form of one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (the “Global Securities”) and shall constitute “Global Securities” under the Base Indenture. Each such Global Security shall be duly executed by the Company, shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and shall be initially registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for the Depositary. DTC shall be the initial Depositary for the 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes upon their original issuance. Beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be shown on, and transfers will only be made through, the records maintained by the Depositary, its members or its direct or indirect participants, including Euroclear and Clearstream (collectively, the “Agent Members”).The Agent Members shall have no rights under the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Securities. The Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary (or its nominee), or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(a) (i) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except as provided in the Base Indenture. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Securities may be transferred or exchanged in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the applicable provisions of Section 311 of the Base Indenture. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 304 and 306 of the Base Indenture. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 4.02(b) or the Base Indenture.

(ii) At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for Notes that are issued, under the circumstances permitted under the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or its nominee (a “Definitive Security”) or a particular Global Security has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 309 of the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of the same series or for Definitive Securities, or is being surrendered by the Company for cancellation after redemption, repurchase or other acquisition by the Company, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of the same series, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such other Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(b) Each Note certificate evidencing the Global Securities shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (each defined term in the legend being defined as such for purposes of the legend only):

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

1. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of September 27, 2013 (as supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Base Indenture”), and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture relating to the Notes dated as of August 2, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and 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 Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, such series initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000; provided that the Company may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of any Holder, issue additional Notes of this series.

All terms which are used but not defined in this Note and which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. Prior to August 15, 2029 (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes, 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 on the Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 45 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.

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

On or after the Par Call Date, 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.

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 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.

A-1-5

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 DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

The provisions of Article Eleven of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the Notes.

For purposes of this Section 2, the following terms shall have the following specified meanings:

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

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

A-1-6

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

3. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, unless the provisions of Article Eight of the Base Indenture are complied with.

4. The Base Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment of the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture and the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture also contain provisions (including the provisions in Section 1006 of the Base Indenture and Section 2.10 of the Supplemental Indenture) permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the 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 the Notes and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holders and upon all future Holders of the Notes and of any Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

5. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared, or shall immediately become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of the Notes shall not have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder or hereunder, unless certain conditions set forth in the Indenture are met. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of the Notes for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

A-1-7

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 times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

6. The Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture contain provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Notes or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to such Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

7. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture (including the limitations in Section 311 of the Base Indenture), the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, 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 any 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 hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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

[This Note is a Global Security and is subject to the provisions of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture relating to Global Securities, including the limitations in Section 311 of the Base Indenture on transfers and exchanges of Global Securities.]¹
