ARTICLE II

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

Section 21Terms of Notes. Pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.3(b) of the Original Indenture, there is hereby established a series of Securities, the terms of which shall be as follows:

(a)Designation. The Securities shall be known and designated as the “6.250% Senior Notes due 2034” (the “Notes”) of the Company.

(b)Form and Denominations. The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Certificates substantially in the form set forth in Annex A hereto, which Global Certificates shall constitute Unrestricted Global Certificates, with such modifications thereto as may be approved by the Officer executing the same, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes

represented thereby with the Trustee as custodian for DTC (the “Depositary”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depositary’s nominee, duly executed by the Company, and, upon receipt of a written order of the Company and other documents required under the Original Indenture, authenticated by the Trustee. In limited circumstances, the Notes may be represented by Definitive Certificates. The Notes will be denominated in Dollars and payments of principal and interest will be made in Dollars.

(c)Maturity Date. The principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes shall be payable in full on October 4, 2034, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (the “Maturity Date”).

(d)Interest. Subject to Section 2.2, the Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.250% per year. Interest on the Notes will accrue from and including October 4, 2024 (or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment) and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 4 and October 4 of each year, beginning on April 4, 2025 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), and at the Maturity Date. Each interest payment due on an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment (or, if no interest has been paid, October 4, 2024) to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment of interest (or principal in the case of the Maturity Date) will be postponed until the next succeeding Business Day, but no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement, and such payment will have the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled Interest Payment Date. For purposes of the Notes, the Original Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include interest provided for in the first sentence of this Section 2.1(d) and in Section 2.2.

(e)To Whom Interest Is Payable. Interest on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date, which regular record date shall be the April 4 or October 4 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest due on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date).

(f)Sinking Fund; Holder Repurchase Right. The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund or analogous provision or be redeemable at the option of the Holders.

Section 22Interest Rate Adjustment. The interest rate payable on the Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if any two of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxx (or, in each case, any Substitute Rating Agency therefor) downgrade (or downgrade and subsequently upgrade) the credit ratings assigned to the Notes, in the manner described in this Section 2.2.

(a)If the rating assigned by any two of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxx (or any Substitute Rating Agency therefor) of the Notes is a rating set forth in the following table, the interest rate on the Notes will be adjusted so that

it is equal to the interest rate payable thereon on the date of their initial issuance plus an amount equal to the percentage set forth opposite the lowest applicable rating.


S&P Rating	Xxxxx’x Rating	Fitch Rating	Percentage
BB+	Ba1	BB+	0.25 %
BB	Ba2	BB	0.50 %
BB-	Ba3	BB-	0.75 %
B+ or below	B1 or below	B+ or below	1.00 %

(b)If any two of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxx (or, in each case, any Substitute Rating Agency) subsequently upgrade their respective ratings of the Notes to, or if any two of such rating agencies have otherwise assigned the Notes respective ratings of, BBB-, Baa3 and BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the interest rate on the Notes will be decreased to the interest rate payable thereon on the date of their initial issuance. In addition, the interest rate payable on the Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described in Section 2.2(a) (notwithstanding any subsequent downgrade in the ratings by any or all rating agencies) if the Notes become rated BBB+, Baa1 and BBB+, respectively (or the equivalent thereof, in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency), or higher by each of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxx (or, in each case, a Substitute Rating Agency) (or (i) by one rating agency if the Notes are only rated by one rating agency or (ii) by two rating agencies if the Notes are only rated by two rating agencies, and in each case, the Company has not obtained a rating on the Notes from a Substitute Rating Agency).

(c)In no event shall (i) the interest rate on the Notes be reduced to below the interest rate payable thereon on the date of their initial issuance or (ii) the total increase in the interest rate on the Notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable thereon on the date of their initial issuance.

(d)No adjustments to the interest rate on the Notes will be made solely as a result of a rating agency ceasing to provide a rating of the Notes. If at any time S&P, Moody’s or Xxxxx ceases to provide a rating of the Notes for any reason, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating of the Notes from a Substitute Rating Agency, if one exists, in which case, for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Notes pursuant to the table in Section 2.2(a), (i) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last rating agency to provide a rating of the Notes but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (ii) the relative rating scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company at its sole expense and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the table in Section 2.2(a) with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings will be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Xxxxx, as applicable, in such table and (iii) any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Notes as a result of an upgrade or downgrade by such Substitute Rating Agency will be determined by reference to the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the deemed equivalent rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the table in Section 2.2(a) (taking into account the provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 2.2(d)) (plus the applicable percentage resulting from a decreased or subsequently increased rating by one of the other two rating agencies).

(e)For so long as only two of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxx provide a rating of the Notes and the Company does not select a Substitute Rating Agency to replace the other rating agency, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Notes necessitated by a downgrade or upgrade in the applicable rating by the rating agencies providing the ratings shall be equal to the sum of the percentages set forth opposite each of such ratings in the table in Section 2.2(a). For so long as only one of S&P, Xxxxx’x or Xxxxx provides a rating of the Notes and the Company does not select a Substitute Rating Agency to replace either of the other two rating agencies, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Notes necessitated by a downgrade or upgrade in the applicable rating by the rating agency providing the rating shall be equal to twice the applicable percentage set forth in the table in Section 2.2(a). For so long as none of S&P, Xxxxx’x, Xxxxx or a Substitute Rating Agency provides a

rating of the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their initial issuance.

(f)Any interest rate increase or decrease on the Notes described in this Section 2.2 will take effect on the next Business Day following the date on which a rating change occurs that requires an adjustment in the interest rate on the Notes.

(g)If the interest rate payable on the Notes is increased as described in this Section 2.2, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to include any such additional interest, unless the context otherwise requires.

(h)The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee upon becoming aware of any decrease in the rating assigned to the Notes by any of S&P, Xxxxx’x or Xxxxx (or any Substitute Rating Agency therefor). The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to any act or omission of any rating agency or any rating with respect to the Notes or the selection of a Substitute Rating Agency. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if an event has occurred or notify the Holders of any event dependent upon the rating of the Notes, or if the rating on the Notes has been changed, suspended or withdrawn by any rating agency.

Section 23Optional Redemption.

(a)The provisions of Article XIII of the Original Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

(b)Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (i) (A) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of, and interest on, the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed 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 40 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 the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

(c)On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes as its option, 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 to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

(d)The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed by the Company for such redemption (such date, a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and that will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of such redemption or otherwise, if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Guarantees, (i) the relevant Foreign Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, (ii) the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Company or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts and (iii) the relevant Foreign Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available as a result of:

(1)any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations, protocols or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction affecting taxation which change or amendment has not been publicly announced before and which becomes effective on or after October 1, 2024 (or, if the relevant Tax Jurisdiction was not a Tax Jurisdiction on the date of the initial issuance of the Notes, the date on which such Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction under this Supplemental Indenture); or

(2)any change in, or amendment to, the existing official written position or the introduction of a written official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice), which change, amendment, application or interpretation has not been publicly announced and becomes effective on or after October 1, 2024 (or, if the relevant Tax Jurisdiction was not a Tax Jurisdiction on the date of the initial issuance of the Notes, the date on which such Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction under this Supplemental Indenture).

Notice of any redemption described in this Section 2.3(d) will be provided to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed in accordance with Sections 2.3(f) and 2.3(g) hereof, provided, that the Company will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 30 days prior to the earliest date on which the relevant Foreign Guarantor would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment under or in respect of the Notes or the Guarantees were then due, and unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect.

Prior to the furnishing of any notice of redemption pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that there has been such change or amendment described in paragraphs (1) and/or (2) of this Section 2.3(d) which would entitle the Company to redeem the Notes. In addition, before the Company furnishes the notice of redemption to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the relevant Foreign Guarantor (but only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Company or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts) taking reasonable measures available to it.

The Trustee will accept such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described in this Section 2.3(d), in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(e)Notwithstanding Sections 2.3(b), 2.3(c) and 2.3(d) hereof, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date or a Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the Holders as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date.

(f)Notice of any redemption (which may be 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 the Company)) shall be given not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date or the Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Any notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) shall either be mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes or provided by electronic mail or facsimile, or by such other notice method permitted by the Original Indenture, to the Trustee for transmission to the Depositary or its nominee. If the redemption or notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date or the Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date or the Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, or by the Redemption Date or the Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, so delayed.

(g)The notice of redemption with respect to any redemption pursuant to Article XIII of the Original Indenture need not set forth the Redemption Price, if such Redemption Price is not ascertainable, but only the manner of calculation thereof, as described above.

(h)The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including, but not limited to, determination of the Redemption Price, premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Company will provide its calculations to the Trustee, and, absent manifest error, the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall have no liability for any calculation or any information used in any calculation. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(i)Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, on and after the Redemption Date or the Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and all rights under the Notes will terminate. No later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the Redemption Date or the Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, the Company is required to deposit with a Paying Agent or the Trustee (or, if the Company or any Guarantor is acting as Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4 of the Original Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date or such Tax Redemption Date, as applicable. If the Company is redeeming less than all the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by DTC, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Certificate, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of the Notes that are not represented by a Global Certificate. The Trustee shall not be liable for selection made by it under this Section 2.3(i). The Notes may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to not less than $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

Section 2.4Repurchase upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a)If a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right pursuant to Section 2.3 to redeem the Notes, the Company shall be required to make an offer to repurchase all or, at the Holder’s option, any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes (a “Change of Control Offer”) for a payment in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Change of Control Payment”) to, but excluding, the repurchase date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”).

(b)Within 30 days following the date of any Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control with respect to the Notes but after the public announcement of the transaction or transactions that constitutes or may constitute a Change of Control with respect to the Notes, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or will constitute such Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Original Indenture and described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c)The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 2.4, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.4 by virtue of such compliance.

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

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

(ii)deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any Guarantor is acting as Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4 of the Original Indenture) an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(iii)deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased by the Company.

(e)The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each such Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, that each such new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(f)The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event 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 the event that such third party terminates or defaults on its offer, the Company will be required to make a Change of Control Offer, treating the date of such termination or default as though it were the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event. In addition, the Company will not purchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment.

Section 2.5Additional Amounts. All payments made by or on behalf of a Foreign Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes or its Guarantee will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes is then required by law. If any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Tax Jurisdiction will at any time be required to be made from any payments made by or on behalf of any Foreign Guarantor with respect to any Guarantee, including, without limitation, payments of principal, premium, or interest, the Foreign Guarantor will pay Additional Amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

(a)any taxes that would not have been imposed but for the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes being a citizen, resident or national of, or incorporated in or carrying on a business in, the relevant Tax Jurisdiction in which such taxes are imposed, or having any other present or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction in which such taxes are imposed, other than by the mere acquisition or holding of any Note or the enforcement or receipt of payment under or in respect of any Note or any Guarantee;

(b)any taxes imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes to comply with any reasonable written request made to such Holder in writing at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction would be payable by any Foreign Guarantors to provide timely or accurate information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or to make any valid or timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification, information or other reporting requirements (to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so), which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of, such taxes;

(c)any taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the presentation of any Note for payment (where presentation is required under the Original Indenture) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

(d)any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, use, personal property tax or similar tax or assessment;

(e)any tax which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments made under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee;

(f)any tax that was imposed with respect to any payment on a Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary partnership, limited liability company or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or limited liability company or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note;

(g)any taxes that are imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date of the initial issuance of the Notes (or any amended or successor version of such sections), any regulations promulgated thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, any similar law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code; or

(h)any combination of items (a) through (g) above.

In addition to the foregoing, any Foreign Guarantor will pay and indemnify the Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies or taxes levied by any jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, any Guarantee (other than on or in connection with a transfer of the Notes other than the initial sale thereof by the initial purchasers in connection with the initial issuance thereof) or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto.

If any Foreign Guarantor becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or its Guarantee, the relevant Foreign Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee on a date at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date of such payment, in which case the relevant Foreign Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly in writing thereafter) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The relevant Foreign Guarantor will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

The relevant Foreign Guarantor will make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The relevant Foreign Guarantor will use its reasonable efforts to obtain tax receipts from each tax authority evidencing the payment of any taxes so withheld or deducted. The relevant Foreign Guarantor will furnish to the Holders, within 60 days after the date the payment of any taxes so withheld or deducted is made, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing payment by the Foreign Guarantor or if, notwithstanding such entity’s efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments by such entity.

References to the payment of amounts based on the principal amount, or interest on any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes, shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The obligation set forth in this Section 2.5 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Original Indenture or any transfer by a Holder of its Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Tax Jurisdiction applicable to any successor person to any Foreign Guarantor.

F&G Annuities & Life, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person thereto under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to {Cede & Co.}{_______}, or its registered assigns, the principal sum {of $________ Dollars}{set forth on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in the Global Certificate attached hereto} (or such lesser or greater amount as shall be outstanding hereunder from time to time in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.8 of the Original Indenture hereinafter referred to) on October 4, 2034 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon at a rate of 6.250% per year (as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Supplemental Indenture hereinafter referred to), accruing from and including October 4, 2024 (or the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment), payable semi-annually in arrears on April 4 and October 4 of each year, beginning on April 4, 2025 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), and at the Maturity Date, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. For purposes of this Note, the Original Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include interest provided for in the immediately preceding sentence and in Section 2.2 of the Supplemental Indenture.

Each interest payment due on an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or made available for payment (or, if no interest has been paid, October 4, 2024) to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment of interest (or principal in the case of the Maturity Date) will be postponed until the next succeeding Business Day, but no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement, and such payment will have the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled Interest Payment Date.

Interest on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date, which regular record

A-1

date shall be the March 19 or September 19 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest due on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date preceding the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date). Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will constitute defaulted interest, will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid by the Company as set forth in Section 2.7 of the Original Indenture.

Payment of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on this Note shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office, in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided that, for so long as this Note is in global form represented by this Global Certificate, all payments in respect hereof (including principal, interest and premium, if any) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of this Global Certificate. In the event that Definitive Certificates shall have been issued, all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions of the registered Holders thereof appearing in the Securities Register or, if no such wire instructions are specified, by mailing a check to the address of each Holder of a Definitive Certificate appearing in the Securities Register.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note 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, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

{FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE}

This Note is one of a duly authorized issuance of securities of the Company (the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 13, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2023, between CF Bermuda Holdings Limited and the Trustee together with the Base Indenture, the “Original Indenture”) and by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 4, 2024 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 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. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $_________. The Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated with the Notes, including for purposes of voting and redemption; provided, however, that the Company shall use a separate CUSIP number for any such additional Securities that (a) are not part of the same issue as the Notes within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations sections 1.1275-1(f) and 1.1275-2(k) and (b) have, for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation, more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount as of the date of the issue of such additional Securities. Any such additional Securities shall, together with the outstanding Notes, constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

Guarantees

To guarantee payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or otherwise, according to the terms of this Note and the Indenture, the Guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed (and any future Guarantors shall fully and unconditionally guarantee), jointly and severally, such obligations pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

Optional Redemption

Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (i) (A) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of, and interest on, the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed 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 40 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 the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Subject to the conditions described in Section 2.3(d) of the Supplemental Indenture, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Tax Redemption Date.

A-5

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof; provided that the principal amount of any such Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, on and after the Redemption Date or the Tax Redemption Date, as applicable, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and all rights hereunder will terminate. No later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, on any Redemption Date or any Tax Redemption Date, the Company is required to deposit with a Paying Agent or the Trustee (or, if the Company or any Guarantor is acting as Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4 of the Original Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date or such Tax Redemption Date, as applicable. If the Company is redeeming less than all the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by DTC, in the case of this Global Certificate, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of any Notes that are not represented by a Global Certificate.

Change of Control Triggering Event

If a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right pursuant to the preceding section to redeem the Notes, the Company shall be required to make an offer to repurchase all or, at the Holder’s option, any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes for a payment in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

General Terms

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note and certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

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

The Indenture or the Notes of any series or the Guarantees thereunder may be amended or supplemented, and compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived, in each case as provided in the Indenture.

The Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund.

As provided in, and subject to the provisions of, the Indenture, the Holder of this Note may institute an action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to the Indenture, this Note or the Guarantees, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder or under the Indenture only if: (i) such Holder has given to the Trustee written notice of a default and of the continuance thereof; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding have made a written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee under the Indenture; (iii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as it may require against the losses, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in connection with such action or proceedings; (iv) the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such action or proceeding; and (v) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with each series treated as a separate class) at the time Outstanding have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request. However, the right of the Holder hereof to receive payment of the principal of and any interest on this Note at the rates, in the amount and in the currency prescribed herein on or after the due dates expressed herein, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or

A-6

after such dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
