Upon redemption of such series of Notes, the Company will pay a redemption price as calculated by a Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by the Company equal to the greater of:

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

(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of 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 Adjusted Treasury Rate described below plus 0.150% (15 basis points) in the case of the 2031 Notes and 0.200% (20 basis points) in the case of the 2041 Notes,

in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed.

At any time on or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company may redeem a series of Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that date of redemption.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to the series of Notes to be redeemed prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the United States Treasury security selected by a Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Company as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes of such series (assuming, for this purpose, that such Notes mature on the applicable Par Call Date) that would be used, at the time of selection and under 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 such Notes mature on the applicable Par Call Date).

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the date of redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or if the Company is provided fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

“Par Call Date” means February 15, 2031 in the case of the 2031 Notes (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the 2031 Notes) and November 15, 2040 in the case of the 2041 Notes (the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the 2041 Notes).

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means: (i) Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC and its affiliates or successors; and (ii) any primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) the Company selects. If any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company must substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average 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 Company by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day before the date of redemption.

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

Section 2.07 Form of Notes. Each series of the Notes shall be represented by one or more permanent global notes registered in the name Cede & Co. or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee. The 2031 Notes shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and the 2041 Notes shall be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

Section 2.08. Sinking Fund. The Notes shall not be subject to a sinking fund.

Section 2.09. Additional Amounts. The provisions of Section 10.06 of the Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

Article 3
Change of Control Repurchase Event

Section 3.01. Intended Beneficiary; Definitions.

(a) The provisions of this Article 3 shall be applicable only to, and are solely for the benefit of Holders of, each series of Notes and to no other Security.

(b) For purposes of this Supplemental Indenture No. 12:

“Below Investment Grade Ratings Event” means, with respect to a series of Notes, on any day within the 60-day period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of such series of Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any Rating Agency) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control, or (2) the public announcement of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control, the Notes of such series are rated below Investment Grade by each and every Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not publicly announce or publicly confirm, or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request, that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Ratings Event).

“Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than (1) the Company or any Subsidiary, (2) any employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (3) any underwriter temporarily holding Voting Stock of the Company pursuant to an offering of such Voting Stock, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed measured by voting power rather than number of shares.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event with respect to a series of Notes.

“Investment Grade” means, with respect to Xxxxx’x, a rating of Baa3 or better (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); with respect to S&P, a rating of BBB- or better (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and, with respect to any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating.

“Moody’s” means Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Xxxxx’x Corporation, and its successors.

“Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P, and (2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors.

“Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

Section 3.02. Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to a series of Notes, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem such Notes pursuant to the redemption terms of such Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of the Notes of such series to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased to, but not including, the Repurchase Date (as defined below).

(b) Within 30 days following a Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to a Change of Control, but after the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company will mail, or cause to be mailed, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, a notice to each Holder of the Notes of such series, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes of such series on the payment date specified in the notice (such offer, the “Repurchase Offer” and such date, the “Repurchase Date”), which Repurchase 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 described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed or delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Repurchase Offer is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Repurchase Date.

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

(d) On the Repurchase Date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

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

(ii) deposit with the Trustee or with such Paying Agent as the Trustee may designate an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered;

(iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted for payment by the Company, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Offer; and

(iv) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, for authentication by the Trustee, any new Notes required to be issued pursuant to Section 3.02(e) below, duly executed by the Company.

(e) Upon receipt by the Trustee from the Company of a notice setting forth the Repurchase Price and the Notes properly tendered and accepted for payment, the Trustee will promptly mail, or cause the Paying Agent to promptly mail, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, to each Holder of such Notes, or portions of such Notes, properly tendered and accepted for payment by the Company the Repurchase Price for such Notes or portions of such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder a new Note, duly executed by the Company equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, as applicable; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(f) The Company will not be required to make a Repurchase Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(g) The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the Company may not have sufficient funds to repurchase all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

2.400% Notes due 2031

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued pursuant to the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the 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. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to US $1,000,000,000, except as contemplated in Supplemental Indenture No. 12. Capitalized terms used herein and in the Guarantee, dated April 29, 2021, but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

The Notes of this series are not subject to any sinking fund.

The Company will have the right, at its option, to redeem the Notes of this series in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), on at least 10 days’, but no more than 60 days’, prior written notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes of this series to be redeemed. Upon redemption of such Notes, the Company will pay a redemption price as calculated by a Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 12) selected by the Company equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of this series to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes of this series to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes of this series matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of 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 Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 12) plus 0.150% (15 basis points), plus, in the case of either (i) or (ii), accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the principal amount of the Notes of this series being redeemed.

At any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes of this series, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of this series to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the principal amount of the Notes of this series being redeemed. As used in this Note, Par Call Date shall mean February 15, 2031 (the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes of this series).

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

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 12) occurs with respect to Notes of this series, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes of this series pursuant to the redemption terms of the Notes, the Company will make an offer, as provided in, and subject to the terms of, Supplemental Indenture No. 12, to each Holder of the Notes of this series to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

The Notes of this series are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect thereof by the Guarantors as evidenced by their guarantees (the “Guarantees”) set forth hereon. The Guarantees are the direct and unconditional obligations of such Guarantors and rank and will rank equally in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Guarantors now or hereafter outstanding.

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

A-5

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Note or (ii) certain respective covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

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 Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected pursuant to the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such Securities at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults pursuant to the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note or Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the currency herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment, 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 its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for the same aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor and authorized denominations, 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 Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
