REDEMPTION

Section 4.1 Optional Redemption.

The Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, on any date prior to November 15, 2031 (the “Par Call Date”), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would have been payable in respect of such Notes, calculated as if the Stated Maturity of such Notes were the Par Call Date (not including any amount attributable to interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,

plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but not including, such Redemption Date. In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions will apply:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes (assuming, for this purpose, that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date).

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company to act as “Independent Investment Banker”; provided, however, that if such Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each primary U.S. government securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

The Company shall determine or cause to be determined the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date. The Company shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date stating the Redemption Price applicable to the Notes on the Redemption Date.

COVENANTS

Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants in Article IX of the Base Indenture and the following additional covenants, which shall be deemed to be provisions of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes, provided that this Article Five shall not become a part of the terms of any other series of Securities:

Section 5.1 Limitations on Liens.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or incur any Lien that secures indebtedness for borrowed money (including guarantees of indebtedness for borrowed money) on any shares of capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or any Principal Property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such shares of capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or Principal Property are owned at the Issue Date or acquired thereafter, unless the Company secures, or causes such Restricted Subsidiary to secure the Outstanding Notes equally and ratably with (or at the Company’s option, prior to) all indebtedness secured by such Lien; provided, that any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon release and discharge of such Lien securing indebtedness for borrowed money that resulted in the Lien on the Outstanding Notes; provided, however, that this Section 5.1 shall not apply in the case of:

(i) the creation of any Lien on any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any Principal Property acquired after the Issue Date (including acquisitions by way of merger or consolidation) by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary contemporaneously with such acquisition, or within 180 days thereafter, to secure or provide for the payment or financing of any part of the purchase price thereof, or the assumption of any Lien upon any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any Principal Property acquired after the Issue Date existing at the time of such acquisition, or the acquisition of any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any Principal Property subject to any Lien without the assumption thereof, provided that every such Lien referred to in this clause (i) shall attach only to the shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any Principal Property so acquired and fixed improvements on that Principal Property;

(ii) any Lien on any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any Principal Property existing on the Issue Date;

(iii) any Lien on any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any Principal Property in favor of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(iv) any Lien on any Principal Property being constructed or improved securing indebtedness to finance the construction or improvements of that property;

(v) Liens on current assets of the Company to secure indebtedness to the Company that mature within twelve months from the creation thereof and that are made in the ordinary course of business;

(vi) Liens securing Hedging Obligations;

(vii) Liens resulting from the deposit of funds or evidences of indebtedness in trust for the purpose of defeasing indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; and

(viii) any renewal of, refinancing of or substitution for any Lien, permitted by any of the preceding clauses (i) through (vii), provided, in the case of a Lien permitted under clause (i), (ii) or (iv), the indebtedness secured is not increased more than such amount necessary to pay the fees and expenses, including premiums, related to such renewal, refinancing or substitution nor the Lien extended to any additional assets.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 5.1, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may create or assume Liens in addition to those permitted by paragraph (a) of this Section, and renew, extend or replace such Liens, provided that at the time of such creation, assumption, renewal, extension or replacement, and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 5.2 Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions.

(a) The Company shall not and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, any Principal Property as an entirety, or any substantial portion thereof, with the intention of taking back a lease of such property, except a lease for a period of three years or less at the end of which it is intended that the use of such Principal Property by the lessee shall be discontinued; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may sell any such Principal Property and lease it back for a longer period, if either:

(i) the Company or such applicable Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1(a), to create a Lien on the Principal Property to be leased securing Funded Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such sale and lease-back transaction without equally and ratably securing the Outstanding Notes; or

(ii) the Company causes an amount equal to the fair value (as determined by Board Resolution of the Company) of such Principal Property to be applied (1) to the purchase of other property that shall constitute Principal Property or (2) to the retirement, within 120 days after receipt of such proceeds of Funded Debt incurred or assumed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (including the Notes); provided, further, that, in lieu of applying all of or any part of such net proceeds to such retirement, the Company may, within 75 days after such sale, deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable trustee for cancellation either debentures or debt securities evidencing Funded Debt of the Company (which may include the Notes) or of a Restricted Subsidiary previously authenticated and delivered by the applicable trustee, and not yet tendered for sinking fund purposes or called for a sinking fund or otherwise applied as a credit against an obligation to redeem or retire such debentures or debt securities, and an Officer’s Certificate (which shall be delivered to the Trustee) stating that the Company elects to deliver or cause to be delivered such debentures or debt securities in lieu of retiring Funded Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary. If the Company delivers debentures or debt securities to the applicable trustee and the Company shall duly deliver such Officer’s Certificate, the amount of cash that the Company shall be required to apply to the retirement of Funded Debt under this Section 5.2(a) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of the then applicable optional redemption prices (not including any optional sinking fund redemption prices) of such debentures or debt securities so delivered, or, if there are no such redemption prices, the principal amount of such debentures or debt securities. If the applicable debentures or debt securities provide for an amount less than the principal amount thereof to be due and payable upon a declaration of the maturity thereof, such amount of cash shall be reduced by the amount of principal of such debentures or debt securities that would be due and payable as of the date of such application upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to the terms of the indenture pursuant to which such debentures or debt securities were issued.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 5.2, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into sale and lease-back transactions in addition to those permitted by paragraph (a) of this Section 5.2 without any obligation to retire any outstanding debt securities or other Funded Debt, provided that at the time of entering into such sale and lease-back transactions and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 5.3 Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, then, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 5.3(b), the Company shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to purchase (at the Holder’s option) all or any part (equal to a minimum amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that after giving effect to the purchase, any Notes that remain outstanding shall have a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, except to the extent that the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 4.1, the Company shall mail a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to purchase Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (other than as may be required by law) (such date, the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice.

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

(d) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the terms in this Section 5.3, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations by virtue thereof.

(e) Holders of Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached hereto completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(f) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not purchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the change of control payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(g) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company, as described in this Section 5.3, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, all of the holders of the Notes will be deemed to have consented to such offer and accordingly, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 15 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described in this Section 5.3, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

2.950% Senior Note Due February 15, 2032

INTEREST

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year commencing on February 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from December 1, 2021¹ with respect to this Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

METHOD OF PAYMENT

The Company shall pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, all payments in respect of this Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) must be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder hereof.

PAYING AGENT AND SECURITY REGISTRAR

Initially, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Trustee”) shall act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any domestically organized Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar.

INDENTURE

The Company issued the Notes under an indenture dated as of June 1, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of those terms.

With respect to Initial Notes issued on the Closing Date.

I-5

The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may issue Additional Notes in an unlimited principal amount. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes. The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes are treated as a single class of Notes under the Indenture.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would have been payable in respect of such Notes, calculated as if the stated maturity of such Notes were the Par Call Date (not including any amount attributable to interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,

plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but not including, such Redemption Date. In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

NOTICES OF REDEMPTION

Notices of redemption shall be delivered at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address all in accordance with the Indenture. Any notice to Holders of Notes of a redemption shall state, among other things, the redemption price (or how the redemption price shall be calculated if not a fixed amount or subject to change) and date.

Notice of any redemption of Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction that is pending (such as an equity or equity-linked offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or an acquisition or other strategic transaction involving a change of control in us or another entity). If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived on or prior to the business day immediately preceding the relevant redemption date.

The Company shall notify holders of any such rescission as soon as practicable after it determines that such conditions precedent will not be able to be satisfied or it is not able or willing to waive such conditions precedent, in each case subject to applicable procedures of DTC. Once notice of redemption is mailed or sent, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price as set forth above.

I-6

If any of such events fail to occur and are not waived by the Company, the Company shall be under no obligation to redeem the Notes or pay the Holders any redemption proceeds and the Company’s failure to redeem the Notes shall not be considered a default or an Event of Default. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time (other than pursuant to paragraph 5 above) the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, consistent with the procedures of DTC. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, then, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in paragraph 5 above, the Company shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to purchase (at the Holder’s option) all or any part (equal to a minimum amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that after giving effect to the purchase, any Notes that remain outstanding shall have a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Any Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture.

DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Security Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Security Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

I-7

10.

UNCLAIMED MONEY

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request, or if then held by the Company or a domestic Subsidiary, shall be discharged from such trust (unless an abandoned property law designates another Person for payment thereof). After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Company or such permitted Subsidiary as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

11.

DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes if, among other things, the Company deposits with the Trustee funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

12.

AMENDMENT; WAIVER

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 Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions, with certain exceptions as therein provided, permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences, provided that all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid. The Indenture also permits certain other amendments, modifications or waivers thereof only with the consent of all affected Holders of the Notes, while certain other amendments or modifications may be made without the consent of any Holders of Notes. 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 transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The right of any Holder of a Note (or such Holder’s duly designated proxy) to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Company to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of Notes as of a date set by the Company and identified by the Trustee in a notice furnished to Holders of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

13.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and, if given by the Holders, to the Trustee, specifying the respective Events of Default, and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

I-8

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

14.

TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

15.

NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company or any successor corporation or any of the Company’s affiliates shall have any personal liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

16.

GOVERNING LAW

THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
