Section 3.03Change of Control Triggering Event.(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in full as described in Section 3.01, or with respect to any series of Notes, such series of Notes has become redeemable as described in Section 3.02 or 3.04, Holders of each series of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase Notes of any series upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes of each such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

In that case, the notice shall state the nature of such condition precedent. If the Notes are only partially redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, subject to any applicable Depositary procedures.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Notes (or a portion thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date as provided herein and in the Indenture, then on and after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption.

In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $700,000,000. The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company.

1. Optional Redemption

At any time and from time to time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

On or after October 15, 2024, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to 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 to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Any notice may, at the discretion of the Company be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, the notice shall state the nature of such condition precedent.

In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

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. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $900,000,000. The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company.

On or after May 15, 2039, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to 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 to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The Company will mail (or send electronically in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures) notice of any redemption to the registered Holders of the Notes to be redeemed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. Any notice may, at the discretion of the Company be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, the notice shall state the nature of such condition precedent. If the Notes are only partially redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, subject to any applicable Depositary procedures.

In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

REVERSE OF NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Base Indenture, dated as of September 18, 2019 (as heretofore supplemented, herein called the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 7, 2019 (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument, and together with the Base Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”) and 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 Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $900,000,000. The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company.

1. Optional Redemption

At any time and from time to time prior to May 15, 2049, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

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

(ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest that will be accrued and unpaid to and including the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

On or after May 15, 2049, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to 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 to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The Company will mail (or send electronically in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures) notice of any redemption to the registered Holders of the Notes to be redeemed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. Any notice may, at the discretion of the Company be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, the notice shall state the nature of such condition precedent. If the Notes are only partially redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, subject to any applicable Depositary procedures.

E-4

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Notes (or a portion thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date as provided herein and in the Indenture, then on and after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

2. Special Mandatory Redemption

In the event that the Guarantor does not consummate the GE Biopharma Acquisition on or prior to August 25, 2020 (or such later date to which the Purchase Agreement may be extended in accordance with its terms) or the PurchaseAgreement is terminated at any time prior thereto (or such later date to which the Purchase Agreement may be extended in accordance with its terms), then the Company must redeem, in whole and not in part, all of the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

The Company will mail notice of such Special Mandatory Redemption, with a copy to the Trustee, within five Business Days after the occurrence of the event triggering such Special Mandatory Redemption to each Holder of Notes at its registered address.

If money sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Special Mandatory Redemption Date as provided herein and in the Indenture, then on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes.

5. Change of Control Triggering Event

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Notes of this series have become redeemable as described in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture, Holders of the Notes of this series will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to the date of the consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of the 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.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

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

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all of the Notes, or portions of the Notes, properly tendered; and

(iii) 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 mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; providedthat each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

E-6

In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

6. No Sinking Fund

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

7. Defeasance and Discharge

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

8. Guarantee

9. 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 Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor 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 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. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note.

10. Events of Default

E-7

11. Remedies

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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 any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
