The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Securities which may be issued thereunder.

The Company issued this Note pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 20, 2019 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, TWDC Enterprises 18 Corp., a Delaware Corporation, as guarantor and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, each Guarantor, the Trustee and Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency described below where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer.

The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) rankingpari passu with, and with the same terms and provisions as, the Notes originally issued on the Original Issue Date (except for the date of original issuance, and, if applicable, the date from which interest shall accrue, the first interest payment date, the offering and sale prices thereof and restrictions on transfer). Any such Additional Notes, together with the Notes originally issued on the Original Issue Date, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and will vote together as a single class on all matters to be voted on by the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture.

The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or

(2) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the date specified for redemption (any such date, a “Redemption Date”)) discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points.

plus, in the case of both clauses (1) and (2) above, any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date.

The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the period from the Redemption Date to the Maturity Date (the “remaining term”), of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) if the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) obtains five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for that Redemption Date, the average of those Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations after excluding the highest and lowest of those Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five but more than one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all of those quotations, or (iii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains only one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation, such quotation.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors appointed by the Company to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time, or if any such firm is unwilling or unable to serve in that capacity, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors; provided that, if any such firm ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date for the Notes shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates referred to above, all as provided in the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

Notice of any redemption of the Notes will be mailed at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. All notices of redemption shall state, among other things, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price or the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be determined and the place or places where such Notes maturing after the Redemption Date are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. Any redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent and, at the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions precedent included at the Company’s discretion shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company) or the Redemption Date may not occur and such notice may be rescinded if all such conditions precedent included at the Company’s discretion shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company). If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected according to DTC procedures, in the case of Notes represented by a global note, or by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, in the case of Notes, if any, that are not represented by a global note. However, payment of the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (if any) to but excluding the Redemption Date, for a Note for which a redemption notice has been delivered is conditioned upon delivery of such Note (with, if the Company or the Trustee or any Paying Agent so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) to the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in any Place of Payment for the Notes. Payment of the Redemption Price for a Note (or portion thereof to be redeemed), together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, will be made on the later of the Redemption Date or promptly following the time of delivery of such Note.

If this Note is to be redeemed in part, this Note must be redeemed in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof; provided that the unredeemed portion of this Note must be an authorized denomination.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, this Note must be surrendered at an office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and the Company will execute, and the Trustee or an authenticating agent will authenticate and deliver to the Holder of this Note, without service charge and upon cancellation hereof, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of this Note so surrendered.

For all purposes of this Note and the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption by the Company of the Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed or to be redeemed by the Company only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Notes which has been or is to be so redeemed.

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

The Indenture permits, in certain circumstances therein specified, the amendment thereof without the consent of the Holders of the Securities. The Indenture also permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations under the Indenture of the Company and any Guarantor and the rights of Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, any Guarantor and the Trustee with the written consent of (i) the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities voting as a single class, or (ii) in case less than all of the several series of Securities are affected by such addition, change, elimination or modification, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so affected voting as a single class (including, for the avoidance of doubt, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange for, the Securities). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to, by written consent, waive compliance by the Company or any Guarantor with any provision of the Indenture (but solely insofar as such provision relates to the Securities of such series) or any provision of the Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the 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 Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or, subject to the provisions for satisfaction and discharge in Article VIII of the Indenture and the guarantee release provisions in Article XII of the Indenture, of the Indenture, shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of Notes is registrable in the register of Securities, upon surrender of a Note for registration of transfer at an office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in any Place of Payment for the Notes, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in such Place of Payment, and at such additional offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the applicable Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated

transferee or transferees.
