(f)       The Company, its direct and indirect equity holders, any of its Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates and members of management may acquire the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Section 3.02     Selection and Notice of Redemption.

(a)      Notice of redemption will be sent at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the place or places that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes to be redeemed.  Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on any Notes that have been called for redemption at the Redemption Date.  If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.  The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate any Redemption Price or premium.

(b)      Any redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event.  At the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.  The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two business days prior to the Redemption Date or such shorter time as may be acceptable to the Trustee, if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee will provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

(c)      On the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(f)       If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Company, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Company pursuant to Section 4.02(e), purchases all of such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer described above, to redeem all the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date specified in such notice (the “Second Change of Control Payment Date”) and at a price in cash equal to 101.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

(h)      No Obligation of the Trustee.

(i)       The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes.  All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).  The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary.  The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

HP Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of                     Dollars ($                    ) or such other amount indicated on the Schedule of Exchange of Global Security attached hereto on March 1, 2029 (if such date is not a Business Day, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest for the Securities will be paid on the next Business Day); provided, however, that no interest on that payment will accrue from and after March 1, 2029, and to pay interest thereon from September 1, 2022, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing March 1, 2023, at the rate of 4.750% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.  Interest on the Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.  If an Interest Payment Date on the Securities falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the payment of such interest shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the Interest Payment Date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

So long as all of the Securities of this series are represented by Global Securities, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Global Security shall be paid in immediately available funds to the Depositary or to a nominee of the Depositary.  If at any time the Securities of this series are no longer represented by the Global Securities and are issued in definitive form (“Certificated Securities”), then the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each Certificated Security at Maturity shall be paid to the Holder upon surrender of such Certificated Security at the office or agency maintained by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be the office of The Bank of New York Mellon, an affiliate of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee); provided that such Certificated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, acting as Paying Agent, in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Payments of interest with respect to Certificated Securities other than at Maturity may, at the option of the Company, be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the Security Register on the relevant Regular or Special Record Date, as the case may be, or by wire transfer in same day funds to such account as may have been appropriately designated to the Paying Agent by such Person in writing not later than such relevant Regular or Special Record Date.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual, electronic or facsimile or pdf or other electronically imaged signature (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned 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 June 17, 2020 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company 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 and modified by the Supplemental Indenture dated September 1, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) and reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto 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 one of the series designated on the face hereof initially in aggregate principal amount of $491,116,000.

(iv)     The Company may redeem Securities pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in the Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions.  Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions may have different Redemption Dates or may specify the order in which redemptions taking place on the same Redemption Date are deemed to occur.

(v)      The Company, its direct and indirect equity holders, any of its Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates and members of management may acquire the Securities by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise.

(c)         “Make Whole Premium” means with respect to a Security at any Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Security or (ii) the excess of (A) the present value of (1) the Redemption Price of such Security at March 1, 2024 (such Redemption Price being set forth in the table in clause (ii) above) plus (2) all required interest payments due on such Security through March 1, 2024 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the then outstanding principal amount of such Security.

(d)        “Treasury Rate” means the weekly average rounded to the nearest 1/100th of a percentage point (for the most recently completed week for which such information is available as of the date that is two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date) of the yield to maturity of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H. 15 with respect to each applicable day during such week or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source or similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to March 1, 2024; provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to March 1, 2024 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which such a yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to March 1, 2024 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer

Within 60 days after the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company shall send (or cause to be sent) to each Holder of the Securities a notice stating:  (i) that such Holder has the right to require the Company to offer to purchase all or a portion (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Repurchase Date” and such offer to purchase, the “Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer”), which shall be a Business Day, specified in such notice, that is not earlier than 15 days or later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid interest as of the Repurchase Date, (iii) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest, (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price for the Securities payable pursuant to the Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer, any Securities accepted for payment pursuant to the Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Repurchase Date, (v) the procedures, consistent with the Indenture, to be followed by a Holder of Securities in order to accept a Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer or to withdraw such acceptance, and (vi) such other information as may be required by the Indenture and applicable laws and regulations.

The Company shall comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and all other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with the Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer.  To the extent that 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 described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in the Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer and the Company purchases all of such Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such repurchase pursuant to the Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date specified in such notice (the “Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer Payment Date”) and at a price in cash equal to 101.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to, but excluding, the Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer Payment Date.

Purchase of Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event

In addition to the Post-Acquisition Change of Control Offer, if a Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the Securities occurs after the date hereof, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities as described above under “Optional Redemption,” the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101.000% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction or event that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall send a notice to each Holder to which the Company is required to make a repurchase offer as described above, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or event that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Securities on the payment 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 notice may, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(i)        accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities (in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Company’s offer;

(ii)       deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn; and

(iii)      deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly send to each Holder of Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn the purchase price for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any such Securities surrendered; provided that each new Security will be in a minimum 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 Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase 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 Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Company, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of such Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer described above, to redeem all the Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date specified in such notice (the “Second Change of Control Payment Date”) and at a price in cash equal to 101.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-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 Securities as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this provision, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this provision by virtue of any such conflict.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means, with respect to the Securities, the rating on the Securities is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies, and the Securities are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies, on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that results in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Company in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control will have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

“Board of Directors” means either the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee empowered by that Board of Directors or the executive committee thereof to act with respect to the Indenture.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or (4) the adoption by the Company of a plan providing for its liquidation or dissolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be considered to be a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (a) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(x) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (y) immediately following that transaction, no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence, is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the holding company.
