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

(ii) the sum of (x) the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus (y) 25 basis points, in the case of the 2030 Notes, and 25 basis points, in the case of the 2050 Notes,

ARTICLE 6.

REPORTS

Section 6.1 Reports by Company. The Base Indenture is hereby amended, with respect to the Notes only, by replacing the text of Section 704 thereof with the following text:

[FORM OF REVERSE OF 2.100% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2030]

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 a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2018 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under 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 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 limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,250,000,000. The Company may from time to time or at any time, without notice to, or the consent of, any Holder of Securities of this series, create and issue additional Securities having the same terms as Securities of this series (except for public offering price, issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and first Interest Payment Date), which additional Securities may increase the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series and, together with the Securities of this series, will constitute a single series under the Indenture and vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Securities of this series; provided, however, that any additional Securities that are not fungible with existing Securities of this series for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN and other identifying number than the existing Securities of this series.

As provided in Section 4.1 of the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Securities of this series are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the 2030 Par Call Date, on a date to be fixed by the Company on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 10 days’ prior written notice, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of (x) the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the 2030 Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus (y) 25 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date for the Notes to be redeemed.

In addition, as provided in Section 4.1 of the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Securities of this series are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the 2030 Par Call Date, on a date to be fixed by the Company on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 10 days’ prior written notice, at a redemption price (the “Par Call Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date.

This Security will not be subject to any sinking fund.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

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 rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting together as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series at the time Outstanding (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture with respect to such series and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security 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 Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security 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 Securities of this series, the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Securities of all affected series at the time Outstanding (voting together as a single class) 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 against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of all affected series at the time Outstanding (voting together as a single class) 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 Security 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 Security 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 Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee and any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
