At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest for Definitive Securities, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such increase.

(i)    the prepayment or retirement of the Notes;

(ii)    the prepayment or retirement (other than any mandatory retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by payment at maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company or of one of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or Indebtedness owed to the Company or one of its Significant Subsidiaries) that matures more than 12 months after its creation; or

(1)     either (x) the Company is the surviving Person or (y) the Person surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such conveyance, transfer or lease has been made expressly assumes the Company’s obligations on the Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements of the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company and the Person so assuming the Company’s obligations is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; and

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.

If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day (other than the Interest Payment Date that is also the maturity date), the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the maturity date is not a Business Day, payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date.

Interest on the Securities of this series will accrue from August 20, 2020.

The interest rate on the Securities of this series will be reset quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, as applicable (each, an “Interest Reset Date”). The Securities of this series will bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period or Initial Interest Period (each as defined below) plus 0.650% per annum (65 basis points); provided that the rate shall not be less than 0.00%; The interest rate for the Initial Interest Period will be 0.903% per annum (90.3 basis points) based on the three-month LIBOR, determined as of two London business days prior to the original issue date, plus 0.650% per annum (65 basis points). The “Initial Interest Period” will be the period from and including the original issue date to but excluding the initial Interest Payment Date. Thereafter, each “Interest Period” will be the period from and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, that the final Interest Period for the Securities of this series will be the period from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the maturity date of such Securities of this series to but excluding the maturity date.


If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if that day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date or the original issue date, as the case may be.

The interest rate applicable to each Interest Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, or the original issue date in the case of the Initial Interest Period, will be the rate determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date. The “Interest Determination Date” will be the second London business day immediately preceding the original issue date, in the case of the Initial Interest Period, or thereafter, the second London business day immediately preceding the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date.

The Trustee, or its successor appointed by the Company, will act as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”). “Three-month LIBOR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)    With respect to an Interest Determination Date, three-month LIBOR will be the three-month rate for deposits in U.S. dollars, commencing on the second London business day immediately following that Interest Determination Date, that appears on the display on Reuters (or any successor service) on the LIBOR 01 page (or any other page as may replace such page on such service or any such successor service, as the case may be) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars (the “LIBOR Page”) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that Interest Determination Date.

(b)    If the rate referred to in subparagraph (i) above does not appear on the LIBOR Page by 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, three-month LIBOR will be determined as follows:

(1)    Except as provided in clause (2) below, the Company will select four major reference banks (which may include one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates) in the London interbank market and will request the principal London office of each of those four selected banks to provide the Calculation Agent with such bank’s quotation of the rate at which three-month U.S. dollar deposits, commencing on the second London business day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time.


(A) If at least two such quotations are provided, then three-month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations.

(B) If fewer than two quotations are provided, then three-month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 A.M. in the City of New York on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates) in the City of New York selected by the Company for three-month U.S. dollar loans, commencing on the second London business day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the rate of interest in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the interest rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

(2)    Notwithstanding clause (1) above, if the Company or the Company’s Designee (as defined below) determine on or prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each, as defined below) have occurred with respect to three-month LIBOR, then the provisions set forth below under “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” which is referred to as the “Benchmark Transition Provisions,” will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the Securities of this series. In accordance with the Benchmark Transition Provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each interest period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement (as defined below) and the applicable margin of 0.650%.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Securities of this series will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. Any percentage resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Securities of this series less than 0.00% will be deemed to be 0.00% (or .0000).

The interest rate on the Securities of this series will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. Additionally, the interest rate on the Securities of this series will in no event be lower than zero.

The establishment of three-month LIBOR for each Interest Period by the Calculation Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the Company’s direction in the case of (i) clause (b)(2) of the definition of three-month LIBOR or (ii) in accordance with the Benchmark Transition Provisions, as applicable), shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and the Holders of the


Securities of this series. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made pursuant to clause (b)(2) of the definition of three-month LIBOR, or the Benchmark Transition Provisions, shall not be subject to the vote or consent of the Holders of the Securities of this series, and the Company may, without the vote or consent of the Holders of the affected Securities of this series, amend or supplement the affected Securities of this series to reflect the implementation of the terms of this clause and, if applicable, the Benchmark Transition Provisions.

The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any Interest Period, will be on file at the Company’s principal offices, will be made available to any holder of the Securities of this series upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. If at any time the Trustee is not the Calculation Agent, the Company will notify (or cause the Calculation Agent to notify) the Trustee of each determination of the interest rate applicable to the Securities of this series promptly after such determination is made.

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)    Benchmark Replacement. If the Company or the Company’s designee (which may be the Calculation Agent only if the Calculation Agent consents in writing to such appointment in its sole discretion with no liability therefor, a successor calculation agent, an independent financial advisor or such other designee of the Company acting as the Company’s agent as described in these Benchmark Transition Provisions (any of such entities, a “Designee”)) determine that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Securities of this series in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or the Company’s Designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

(c)    Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company or the Company’s Designee pursuant to clause (b)(2) of the definition of three-month LIBOR or these Benchmark Transition Provisions, including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in the Company’s or the Company’s Designee’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Securities of this series, shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Securities of this series or any other party. In connection with any determination, decision or election pursuant to clause (b)(2) in the definition of three-month LIBOR or these Benchmark Transition Provisions, the Company may, in the Company’s sole discretion, designate any affiliate or agent of the Company, any affiliate of the Company’s agent or any other person (other than the Trustee or the Calculation Agent) to make one or more determinations, decisions or elections on a temporary or permanent basis, and the Company may, in the Company’s sole discretion, revoke any such designation. Any person so designated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence will be a “Designee” for purposes of these Benchmark Transition Provisions for so long as such designation remains in effect.


The Trustee shall not be (i) responsible or liable for making the decisions, elections and determinations in connection with (a) clause b(2) of the definition of three-month LIBOR or (b) a Benchmark Transition Event or (ii) named as or deemed to be the Designee. The Calculation Agent shall not be (i) responsible or liable for making the decisions, elections and determinations in connection with (a) clause b(2) of the definition of three-month LIBOR or (b) a Benchmark Transition Event or (ii) named as or deemed to be the Designee unless the Calculation Agent consents in writing to such appointment. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Calculation Agent in writing of the party that has been appointed as the Designee.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000. 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 Third 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 June 15, 2023, 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 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 Securities matured on June 15, 2023 (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) 10 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date for the Securities of this series to be redeemed.

In addition, as provided in Section 4.3 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Securities of this series are subject to redemption in the event the Ellie Mae Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to February 6, 2021 (subject to automatic extension if regulatory approval under the HSR Act has not yet been received by that date to August 6, 2021 (the “Outside Date”)) or the Purchase Agreement is terminated at any time prior to the Outside Date, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

This Security will not be subject to any sinking fund.

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.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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.

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.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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.

As provided in Section 4.1 of the Third 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 2060 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 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 Securities matured on the 2060 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 Securities of this series to be redeemed.

In addition, as provided in Section 4.1 of the Third 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 2060 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 equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date.
