However, to the extent any provision of this Supplemental Indenture or any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, will govern and be controlling.

(c) Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes and each will provide that it will represent the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the custodian of the Notes, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with written instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.02 hereof.

OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture; provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

(b) On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

(c) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Notice of any redemption shall be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the DTC procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.

(e) If the date of redemption is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the applicable Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest is payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

(f) In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair in accordance with DTC procedures. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less may be redeemed in part. The principal amount of a Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

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

(a) With respect to the Notes, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes in whole or in part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant interest record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), pursuant to and in accordance with the offer described in this Section 4.03, provided that after giving effect to the purchase, any Notes that remain outstanding shall have a denomination of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, the Company shall send by first class mail (or otherwise transmit in accordance with DTC procedures) a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall state:

(i) that such Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant interest record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) (the “Change of Control Payment”);

(ii) the date of repurchase, which shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer is mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC procedures), other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iii) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with the Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes called for redemption to be repurchased; and

(iv) if the notice is mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC procedures) prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned upon the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, all Notes called for redemption or portions thereof validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, and shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all such Notes or portions of such Notes so tendered. The Company shall also deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Notes called for redemption or portions of such Notes being repurchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail (or otherwise transmit in accordance with DTC procedures) to each tendering Holder the Change of Control Payment for the Notes called for redemption tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, if any, provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(d) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest will be payable to holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

(e) Holders of the Notes electing to have such Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Note 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 comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act in connection with the repurchase of all Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer hereunder. To the extent the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

(g) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner and at the times required and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Securities designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

A-4

FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY

Indenture. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 6, 2019, as supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 7, 2023 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor to Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000.

Optional Redemption. Prior to January 1, 2033 (three months prior to their maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities 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 (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notice of any redemption shall be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the DTC procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Securities to be redeemed. If the date of redemption is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Security is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest is payable to Holders whose Securities will be subject to redemption by the Company. In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair in accordance with DTC procedures. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less may be redeemed in part. The principal amount of the Security remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Security shall state the portion of the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security shall be issued in the name of the holder of the Security upon surrender for cancellation of this Security. For so long as the Securities are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Securities shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

A-5

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are not required to be open in the State of New York.

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

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

A-6

securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable by the Company prior to their maturity date and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

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

Amendment, Modification and 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 Securities to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains customary limitations that restrict the Company’s ability to merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets, place liens on its property or assets and engage in sale/leaseback transactions. Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Indenture), a holder of Securities will have the right, subject to certain terms and conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Securities of such holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

A-7

Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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.

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

Miscellaneous. The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules thereof.

All terms used in this Security and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
