WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of March 27, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the Company from time to time of debentures, notes or other debt instruments evidencing its

indebtedness. The Base Indenture, as supplemented and amended by this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, including the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are automatically deemed to be a part of this Indenture by operation of the Trust Indenture Act, and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time with respect to the Notes, is herein referred to as the “Indenture.”

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the issuance of 1.750% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to enter into this Seventh Supplemental Indenture to establish the form and terms of the Notes in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Base Indenture.

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Seventh Supplemental Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement according to its terms have been done.

WHEREAS, the Indenture is subject to, and will be governed by, the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be a part of and govern indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from time to time of the Notes as follows:

ARTICLE 1

TERMSOFTHE NOTES

Section 1.01. Terms of the Notes. The following terms relate to the Notes:

(a) The Notes shall constitute a separate series of Securities under the Base Indenture having the title “1.750% Senior Notes due 2026.”

(b) The aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Initial Notes”) that may be initially authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be €650,000,000.

(c) The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms (except for the issue date and, in some cases, the public offering price and the first interest payment date) as the Initial Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes shall be unlimited.

(d) Any Additional Notes and the Initial Notes shall constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the Notes shall include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires. In the above case, if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the previously issued Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued with a different ISIN number as the previously issued Notes, as applicable.

(e) The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on January 15, 2026. The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 1.750% per year. The date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be September 26, 2018, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for. The Interest Payment Dates for the Notes shall be January 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2019.

(f) Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the January 1 immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date (each, a “regular record date”). The basis upon which interest shall be calculated shall be that of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or September 26, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to, but excluding. the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as “ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA),” as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

(g) The Depositary for the Global Notes shall be the common depositary on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream.

(h) (i) The Company initially appoints Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch as paying agent with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Base Indenture until such time as the Paying Agent has resigned or a successor has been appointed. The Paying Agent hereby accepts such initial appointment, and the Company confirms that such initial appointment is acceptable to it. The Paying Agent shall have all of the rights, privileges, protections and immunities granted to the Trustee in the Indenture. Payment of the principal amount of the Notes, and any premium, interest or Additional Amounts on the Notes, will be payable at the office of the Paying Agent at Fifth Floor, 125 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1AR, United Kingdom, until such time as the Company designates an alternate place of payment.

(ii) The Paying Agent hereby agrees with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.04 of the Base Indenture:

(A) that it will hold all sums received by it as such Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on, or Additional Amounts related to, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or of the Trustee;

(B) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on, or Additional Amounts related to, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable;

(C) that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in Section 1.01(h)(ii)(B) above; and

(D) that it will perform all other duties of the Paying Agent as set forth in the Indenture.

(i) The Notes that are issued in a registered offering pursuant to the Securities Act shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are herein incorporated by reference. Such Global Notes shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Global Notes,” and shall be deposited with the Depositary or its nominee, for credit to an account of an Agent Member, and shall be duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of a Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as hereinafter provided.

(j) Each Global Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A (the “Note Legends”) on the face thereof until the Note Legends are removed or not required.

(k) The Notes shall be denominated in Euro and shall be issuable in minimum denominations of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. If Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond its control or the Euro is no longer used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until Euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/Euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the Euro. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment in respect of the Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

(l) The Notes may be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 1.05.

(m) The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

(n) Except as provided herein, the Holders of the Notes shall have no special rights in addition to those provided in the Base Indenture upon the occurrence of any particular events.

(o) The Notes will be direct, unconditional, senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, and will rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and among themselves, and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness the Company may incur.

(p) The Notes are not convertible into shares of common stock or other securities of the Company.

(q) The restrictive covenants set forth in Section 1.06 shall be applicable to the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Indebtedness secured by Liens not otherwise permitted by this Section 1.06(a) if the Company first makes effective provisions whereby the Notes (together with any other Indebtedness of the Company then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with such Notes and similarly entitled to be equally and ratably secured) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness shall so be secured.

(b) Limitation on Sale and Lease-back Transactions. Other than as provided in Section 1.06(c) below, neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any sale and lease-back transaction with a term longer than three years, unless:

(i) such transaction was entered into prior to the date hereof;

(ii) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company of any property by one of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(iii) the Company would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a mortgage on the property to be leased in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such sale and lease-back transaction without equally and ratably securing the notes pursuant to Section 1.06(a) above; or

(iv) the Company applies an amount equal to the fair value of the property sold to the purchase of property or to the retirement of its long-term Indebtedness (including the Notes) within 365 days of the effective date of any such sale and lease-back transaction.

(c) Permitted Liens and Permitted Sale and Lease-back Transactions. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth under Section 1.06(a) and Section 1.06(b), the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien or enter into any sale and lease-back transaction not otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 1.06(a) or Section 1.06(b);provided that, at the time of such event, and after giving effect to that event, the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted by this Section 1.06(c) (excluding the Liens permitted pursuant to Section 1.06(a)) and the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt in respect of sale and lease-back transactions permitted by this Section 1.06(c) (excluding sale and lease-back transactions permitted under Section 1.06(b)) measured, in each case, at the time any such Lien is incurred or any such sale and lease-back transaction is entered into, by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary does not exceed 20% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

(d) Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. (i) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem such Notes as described in Section 1.05 hereof, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of such Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price, payable in cash, equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be sent to Holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date and shall state the following:

(A) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 1.06(d) and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(B) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed;

(D) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(E) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(F) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(G) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to €100,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule14e-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 the provisions of this Section 1.06(d), the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.06(d) by virtue of such compliance.

(ii) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

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

(B) 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; and

(C) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.06(d), the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if (a) a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 1.06(d) and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer, or (b) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 1.05 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price.

Section 1.07. Defaults and Remedies. (a) Events of Default. This Section 1.07(a) shall replace Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(i) default in the payment of interest on the Notes when due, and such default has continued for a period of 90 days or more and the time for such payment is due has not been extended or deferred;

(ii) default in the payment (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of the Notes when due;

(iii) failure by the Company for 90 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to perform or observe any of the other covenants or agreements in this Indenture (other than defaults specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above);

(iv) any of the Company’s Indebtedness in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $250 million or more either:

(A) becomes due and payable prior to the due date for payment of such Indebtedness by reason of acceleration of such Indebtedness following a default by the Company; or

(B) is not repaid at, and remains unpaid after, maturity as extended by any applicable period of grace or any guarantee given by the Company in respect of Indebtedness of any other Person in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $250 million or more is not honored when, and remains dishonored after, becoming due;

(v) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(vi) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of the Company’s properties, or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company, and, in any of the above cases, the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

(b) Acceleration of Maturity. In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (v) or (vi) of Section 1.07(a), all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if written notice is given by such Holders). Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Notes, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to such Notes (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 1.08. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to the account of an Agent Member, and (ii) be delivered to the Depositary. None of the Company, any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

(b) Members of, or participants and account holders in, Euroclear and Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or its custodian, or under such Global Notes. The Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and any agent of any of them as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee or any agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the

exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Note. The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(c) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may not be transferred or exchanged for physical Notes unless (i) the Company has consented thereto in writing, or such transfer or exchange is made pursuant to the next sentence, and (ii) such transfer or exchange is in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Subject to the limitation on issuance of physical Notes, physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the relevant Global Note, if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days; or (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of physical Notes.

(d) The transfer and exchange of a Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 1.09) and the Applicable Procedures therefor of the Depositary. Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a different Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the relevant Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

Section 1.09. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Section 1.09 shall replace Section 9.01(a) of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

(a) either (i) all the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than any Notes which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 of the Base Indenture); or (ii) all the Notes issued that have not been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable at their final maturity within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the Company’s name, and at the Company’s expense and the Company shall

have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee sufficient funds to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes to pay principal, interest, if any, and any premium, which for purposes of this provision shall be calculated without applying any “present value discount” and using a Comparable Government Bond Rate of no less than zero.

Section 1.10. Successors. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of the assets of the Company substantially as an entirety in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Article 8 of the Base Indenture, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein;provided,however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of the Company’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, this Section 1.10.

Section 1.11. Payment of Additional Amounts. The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Notes such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or the Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a Holder who is not a United States person, after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge (“Tax”) imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:

(a) to any Tax that is imposed by reason of the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds the Notes), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

(i) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

(ii) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights hereunder), including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States;

(iii) being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

(iv) being or having been a“10-percent shareholder” of us as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

(v) being a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Company within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code; or

(vi) being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business;

(b) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(c) to any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such Tax;

(d) to any Tax that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or a paying agent from the payment;

(e) to any Tax that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(f) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property or similar Tax;

(g) to any Tax required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

(h) to any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(i) to any Tax imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

(j) in the case of any combination of clauses (a) through (i) above.

“United States person” as used in this Section means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source. The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this Section 1.11, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any Tax imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

If the Company is required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, the Company will notify the Trustee and Paying Agent pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate that specifies the Additional Amounts payable and when the Additional Amounts are payable. If the Trustee and the Paying Agent do not receive such an Officers’ Certificate from the Company, the Trustee and Paying Agent may rely on the absence of such an Officers’ Certificate in assuming that no such Additional Amounts are payable.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the persons in whose name such Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Note for such interest installment. In the event that the Notes or a portion thereof are called for redemption and the Redemption Date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such

²	Include for Additional Notes only.

A-5

Notes will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Notes as provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on, and any Additional Amounts due on, the Notes shall be payable in Euro, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose at 125 Old Broad Street, Fifth Floor, London, EC2N 1AR, United Kingdom. If Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond its control or the Euro is no longer used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until Euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/Euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the Euro. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment in respect of the Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Paying Agent will act as paying agent and the Trustee will act as transfer agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any paying agent, transfer agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.

4. Indenture. 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 of 1939 (“Trust Indenture Act”) as in effect on the date the Indenture is qualified. 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. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof as the “1.750% Senior Notes due 2026”, initially limited to €650,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Company will furnish to any Holders upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture. Requests may be made to: DXC Technology Company, 1775 Tysons Boulevard, Tysons, Virginia 22102, Attention: General Counsel.

5. Redemption. The Notes shall be redeemable as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time, as provided in Section 1.05 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after any Redemption Date for the Notes, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

A-6

The Notes shall be redeemable in whole but not in part, at the Company’s option, at any time if certain events occur involving U.S. taxation, as provided in Section 1.05 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

6. Additional Amounts. The Company will pay Additional Amounts on the Notes under certain circumstances as provided in Section 1.11 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

7. Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

8. Change of Control Triggering Event. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has redeemed such Notes as described in Section 1.05 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of such Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price, payable in cash, equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be sent to Holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed, in accordance with Section 1.06(d) of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in Section 1.04 and Section 1.08 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture and Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of the Base Indenture. The Notes may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer at the office of the Company or its agency designated by the Company for such purpose.

10. Persons Deemed Owners. The person in whose name this Note is registered may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

12. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or

A-7

exchange offer for Notes) of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and compliance with any provision of the Indenture and the Notes may be waived with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes without notice to or consent of any Holder as provided in the Indenture, including, without limitation, to maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any change that would not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder in any material respect.

13. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default in Section 1.07(a)(v) or 1.07(a)(vi) of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon such declaration such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 1.07(a)(v) or 1.07(a)(vi) of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture shall occur, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, if an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.

14. Trustee May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar.

15. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder (past or present), as such, of the Company shall not have any 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 such obligations or their creation. 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.
