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

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

If on the third New York Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no

in fully registered, certificated form. Principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable, the transfer of such Notes will be registrable, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such

Global Notes (as defined in Section 2.04), payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary as permitted by the Indenture; provided, further,
that the Paying Agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five New York Business Days prior to the date of such payment.

registered form (a “Global Note”), deposited with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or such other Depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time
designate. Unless and until such Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to the Depositary or a nominee of the
Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. Notice pursuant to Section 1.06 of the Base Indenture shall be considered sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for

Section 2.05 Interest. (a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or, if
applicable, the Redemption Date, with respect to the Notes shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and
including the original issue date of April 16, 2024, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or, if applicable, Redemption Date, as the case may be

actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a New York Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be postponed
to the next succeeding day which is a New York Business Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date).
6

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date
(assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, 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.
With respect to any redemption occurring prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall give the Trustee notice
of the Make-Whole Redemption Price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation.
(b) On or after the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option at a
redemption price (the “Par Redemption Price” and together with the Make-Whole Redemption Price, each an “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed; plus, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a
Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture.
(d) On and after a Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption or any portion of the Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest). On or before the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee money sufficient to pay the Optional
Redemption Price of and (unless the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date on the Notes to be redeemed on such date.
7
(e) In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by lot, provided, that the Notes
represented by Global Notes will be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC or another depositary. 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. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in
accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.
(f) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Optional Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
(g) The Company will send notice of any redemption by mail or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmit 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 the Notes to be redeemed.
(h) The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the Optional Redemption Price.
Section 3.02 No Other Redemption. Except as set forth in Section 3.01, the Notes shall not be

effectively providing that each series of senior debt securities and, at the Company’s option, any other indebtedness of the Company ranking equally and ratably with such indebtedness, shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such
secured indebtedness.

account of:

foreign investment company (including a qualified electing fund), a controlled foreign corporation, a personal holding company or a foreign personal holding company with respect to the United States;
(v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of, or interest on,

Regulations promulgated thereunder (commonly referred to as “FATCA”), or imposed under any substantially similar successor legislation, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof,
any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection therewith;
(x) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the holder or the beneficial owner of such Note (i) is a bank
purchasing such Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (ii) is a bank that is neither (a) buying such Note for investment purposes nor (b) buying such debt security for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding
such debt security for investment purposes only;
(xi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in whole or in part by reason of such holder’s or beneficial owner’s past or present
status as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation, a foreign private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; or
(xii) any combinations of items identified in the bullet points above.
Section 5.02 In addition, the Company shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the
sole beneficial owner of such Note to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the payment of such additional amounts had
such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of the Note. In addition, if withholding of tax is required on Notes linked to U.S. equities or equity indices under Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 871(m) of the

Xxxxxxxxx Financial Group Inc., a New York corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to _________, or registered assigns, the principal sum of $__________ on April 14, 2034 and to pay interest thereon from April 16, 2024 or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, semi-annually on April 14 and October 14 in each year, commencing October 14, 2024, and at the Maturity thereof, at the rate of 6.200% per annum, on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full semi-annual Interest Period for which interest is computed
will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for any period less than a month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name the relevant Securities, or any predecessor Securities, are registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest so payable,
but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) 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 Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which these Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, which shall initially be the office or agency of the Trustee located therein, 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, against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal thereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes payable on a day other than an Interest Payment
Date); provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register; and provided,
further, that if this Security is a Global Security, payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary as permitted in said Indenture.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual or electronic signature,
this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Reverse of Note
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”),
issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of October 18, 2013, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee), as amended and supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 4, dated as of April 16, 2024, between the Company and the Trustee (“Supplemental
Indenture No. 4” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof,
initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,500,000,000. The Securities of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
Prior to January 14, 2034 (the “Par Call Date”) the Company may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole or in part, at
any time 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 Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption
date, and
|
(ii)
|
100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed,
|
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities, 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 Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Securities of this series that are due and payable on Interest Payment
Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the Securities and the Indenture.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance
with the following two paragraphs:
18
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). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period
from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days)
using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to
the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant
maturity from the Redemption Date.
If on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 or any successor designation or publication 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.
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 the Securities to be redeemed.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the redemption price.
19
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made by the Trustee by lot, provided,
that Securities represented by global Securities will be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary or another Depositary. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Security is to be
redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Security will state the portion of the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed. For so long as the Securities are held by a Depositary, the redemption of the Securities shall
be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the applicable redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease
to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.
The Company will pay to any Holder of the Securities that is beneficially owned by a United States Alien Holder (as defined
below) such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge
imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided in the Securities to be then due and payable. We will not be required, however, to make any payment
of additional amounts for or on account of:
(1) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or beneficial owner of such
Securities (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the United
States, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor), being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of the United States or being or
having been engaged in trade or business or present in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;
(2) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of the Securities for payment on a date more than 10 days after the
date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
(3) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
(4) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Xxxxxx’s or beneficial owner’s past or present status as a passive foreign investment company (including a qualified
electing fund), a controlled foreign corporation, a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company with respect to the United States;
(5) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities;
20
(6) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities if such payment can be made
without withholding by any other paying agent;
(7) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed by reason of a Holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former status as (i) the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more
of the total combined voting power of Xxxxxxxxx Financial Group Inc. stock, as determined for purposes of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (or any successor provision) or (ii) a controlled foreign
corporation that is related to us, as determined for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (or any successor provision);
(8) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed or withheld but for the failure of the Holder or any other person to comply with certification,
identification or information reporting requirements under U.S. income tax laws, including any tax treaty, with respect to the payment, concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States, of the Holder or
beneficial owner of such note, if such compliance is required by U.S. income tax laws, including any tax treaty, as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or governmental charge;
(9) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (commonly
referred to as “FATCA”), or imposed under any substantially similar successor legislation, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or
regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection therewith;
(10) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Securities (i) is a bank
purchasing Securities in the ordinary course of its lending business or (ii) is a bank that is neither (a) buying Securities for investment purposes nor (b) buying Securities for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding
Securities for investment purposes only;
(11) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in whole or in part by reason of such Xxxxxx’s or beneficial owner’s past or present
status as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation, a foreign private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; or
(12) any combinations of items identified in clauses (1) through (11) above.
21
In addition, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Holder or beneficial owner that is a fiduciary or
partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the Securities to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the
payment of such additional amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of the Securities. In addition, if withholding of tax is required on the Securities linked to U.S. equities or equity indices under Treasury
regulations promulgated under Section 871(m) of the Code, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.
The term “United States Alien Holder” means any corporation, partnership, individual or fiduciary that is, for United States
federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a nonresident alien individual, a nonresident fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purpose, a
foreign corporation, a nonresident alien individual or a nonresident fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the obligations of the Company at any time upon compliance by the Company
with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities
of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series affected thereby and at the time
Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange here for or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of this series, the Holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and
offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request,
and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment
of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
22
If so provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the above-referenced provisions of the Indenture regarding the ability of Holders to
waive certain defaults, or to request the Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard to such Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Security 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 Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, and except as provided for in the Indenture, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.
This Security is a Global Security and is subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to Global Securities, including the limitations in
Section 3.05 thereof on transfers and exchanges of Global Securities.
This Security and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
