     FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of November 19, 2009, between CA, INC. (formerly known as Computer Associates International, Inc.), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, as Issuer (herein called the “Company”), having its principal office at One CA Plaza, Islandia, New York 11749, and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company), a national banking association having a corporate trust office at One Federal Street, 3rd Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (herein called the “Trustee”).
RECITALS OF THE COMPANY
     The Company has heretofore executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2002 (the “Indenture”), to the Trustee providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $460,000,000 of its 1 5/8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 (the “Securities”).
     The Company has authorized the Indenture to be amended for the purpose of clarifying that any of the Securities surrendered by the Holder thereof for conversion under the Indenture after the close of business on December 1, 2009 are not required to be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on the date on which the principal of the Securities becomes due and payable as therein provided.
     The Company desires to amend the Indenture for the purpose set forth above in accordance with Section 9.01(viii) of the Indenture, which provides that the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any purpose that does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder, and pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver any such indentures supplemental, including this First Supplemental Indenture.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows:
