(1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2051 Notes to be redeemed; and

(2) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the principal amount of the 2051 Notes to be redeemed and the remaining scheduled payments of interest thereon after the date of optional redemption (a “2051 Optional Redemption Date”) through the 2051 Par Call Date (assuming, for this purpose, that the Notes are scheduled to mature on the 2051 Par Call Date) (the “2051 Assumed Remaining Life”) (excluding interest, if any, accrued thereon to such 2051 Optional Redemption Date), discounted to such 2051 Optional Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360‑day year

consisting of twelve 30‑day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points (or 0.200%); and

(ii) on or after the 2051 Par Call Date and prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the 2051 Notes, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2051 Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, such 2051 Optional Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall pay any interest installment due on a 2051 Interest Payment Date which occurs on or prior to a 2051 Optional Redemption Date to the Holders of the 2051 Notes as of the close of business on the regular record date immediately preceding such 2051 Interest Payment Date.

The Corporation may at any time, and from time to time, purchase 2051 Notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise.

Notwithstanding Section 3.4 of the Indenture, at least 10 days but not more than 30 days before a 2051 Optional Redemption Date, the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent by electronic transmission or by first class mail (with a copy to the Trustee), a notice of redemption to each Holder of 2051 Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 2.11 Special Mandatory Redemption. If (i) the Acquisition is not consummated prior to March 31, 2022, (ii) the Purchase Agreement is terminated at any time prior to March 31, 2022 (other than as a result of consummating the Acquisition) or (iii) the Corporation publicly announces at any time prior to March 31, 2022 that it will no longer pursue the consummation of the Acquisition (the earliest of any such date under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.11, a “Trigger Date”), then the Corporation shall redeem on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date all of the outstanding 2031 Notes and 2051 Notes (collectively, the “SMR Notes”) for cash at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such SMR Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Corporation shall cause a notice of special mandatory redemption to be transmitted to each Holder of any SMR Notes at its registered address and to the Trustee promptly, and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day after the Trigger Date, and shall redeem the SMR Notes on the date specified in the notice of special mandatory redemption (the date so specified, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). The Special Mandatory Redemption Date shall be a date selected by the Corporation and set forth in the notice of special mandatory redemption and shall be no later than 30 days following any Trigger Date, but no earlier than the fifth Business Day following the day the notice of special mandatory redemption is transmitted to Holders of the SMR Notes. If funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price of the outstanding SMR Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, such SMR Notes shall cease to bear interest.

SECTION 2.12 Appointment of Agents. The Trustee will initially be the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

ARTICLE III

Additional Covenants

SECTION 3.1 Limitations on Liens. Subject to the following two sentences, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, as security for any Debt, incur a Lien on any Restricted Property, unless the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary secures or causes to be secured any outstanding Notes equally and ratably with all Debt secured by such Lien (it being understood that such Lien may equally and ratably secure such Notes and any other obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries that are not subordinated in right of payment to any outstanding Notes). The foregoing restrictions will not apply to, among other things, Liens:

(i) existing on the Issue Date of the Notes or existing at the time an entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(ii) existing at the time of the acquisition of the Restricted Property or incurred to finance all or some of the purchase price or cost of construction; provided that the Lien may not extend to any other Restricted Property (other than, in the case of construction, unimproved real property) owned by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time the property is acquired or the Lien is incurred; and provided, further, that the Lien may not be incurred more than one year after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction or commencement of full operation of the property;

(iii) securing Debt of the Corporation owed to a Restricted Subsidiary or securing Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owed to the Corporation or another Restricted Subsidiary;

(iv) existing at the time an entity merges into, consolidates with, or enters into a share exchange with the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary or a Person transfers or leases all or substantially all its assets to the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(v) in favor of a government or governmental entity that secures payment pursuant to a contract, subcontract, statute or regulation, secures Debt guaranteed by the government or governmental agency, secures Debt incurred to finance all or some of the purchase price or cost of construction of goods, products or facilities produced under contract or subcontract for the government or governmental entity, or secures Debt incurred to finance all or some of the purchase price or cost of construction of the property subject to the Lien; or

(vi) extending, renewing or replacing in whole or in part a Lien (an “existing Lien”) permitted by any of clauses (i) through (v); provided that such Lien may not extend beyond the property subject to the existing Lien and the Debt secured

by the Lien may not exceed the amount of Debt secured at the time by the existing Lien unless the existing Lien or a predecessor Lien equally and ratably secures the outstanding Notes and the Debt.

In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, the Corporation and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes of any Series, incur a Lien that otherwise would be subject to the foregoing restrictions; provided that after giving effect to such Lien the aggregate amount of all Debt secured by Liens that otherwise would be prohibited by this Section 3.1 (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Debt secured by a Lien permitted by any of clauses (i) through (vi) above), plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale‑Leaseback Transactions that otherwise would be prohibited by Section 3.2 at the time such Lien is incurred would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

If, upon any consolidation, merger or transfer described in Section 5.1 of the Indenture, a Restricted Property would become subject to an attaching Lien that secures Debt, then, before the consolidation, merger or transfer occurs, the Corporation by supplemental indenture shall secure the Securities of each Series by a direct lien on such Restricted Property. The direct Lien shall have priority over all Liens on such Restricted Property except those already encumbering such Restricted Property. The direct Lien may equally and ratably secure the Securities of each Series and any other obligation of the Corporation or a Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation need not comply with the above provisions of this paragraph if (i) upon the consolidation, merger or transfer, the attaching Lien will secure the Securities of each Series equally and ratably with or prior to Debt secured by the attaching Lien or (ii) pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 3.1, the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary would not be prohibited from creating a Lien on the Restricted Property to secure Debt at least equal in amount to that secured by the attaching Lien.

This Section 3.1 is one of the covenants eligible for the provisions of Section 8.3 of the Indenture.

SECTION 3.2 Limitations on Sale and Lease‑Back Transactions. Subject to the following sentence, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into a Sale‑Leaseback Transaction, unless:

(i) the lease is between the Corporation and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries;

(ii) the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to Section 3.1, to create a Lien on the property to be leased securing Debt in an amount at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of the Sale‑Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the outstanding Notes under Section 3.1;

(iii) the Corporation owns or acquires other property which will be made a Principal Property and is determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to have a fair value equal to or greater than the Attributable Debt incurred;

(iv) within 270 days of the effective date of the lease, the Corporation makes Capital Expenditures with respect to a Principal Property in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Attributable Debt incurred; or

(v) the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary makes an optional prepayment in cash of its Debt or finance lease obligations at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt for the lease, the prepayment is made within 270 days of the effective date of the lease, the Debt prepaid is not owned by the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Debt prepaid is not subordinated in right of payment to any of the Notes, and the Debt prepaid was Long‑Term Debt at the time it was created.

In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, the Corporation and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes of any Series, enter into a Sale‑Leaseback Transaction that otherwise would be subject to the foregoing restrictions; provided that after giving effect to such Sale‑Leaseback Transaction the aggregate amount of all Debt secured by Liens that otherwise would be prohibited by Section 3.1 (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Debt secured by a Lien permitted by any of clauses (i) through (vi) thereof), plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale‑Leaseback Transactions that otherwise would be prohibited by this Section 3.2 would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

This Section 3.2 is one of the covenants eligible for the provisions of Section 8.3 of the Indenture.

SECTION 3.3 Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs (unless, with respect to any Series of Notes, the Corporation (i) has exercised its right to redeem such Series in full in accordance with Section 2.8, Section 2.9 or Section 2.10, as applicable, or (ii) in the case of the SMR Notes, is redeeming or has redeemed such Notes pursuant to Section 2.11), the Corporation shall make an irrevocable offer (subject to consummation of the Change of Control Repurchase Event) (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes (except any such Notes excluded under clause (i) or (ii) above) to repurchase all or, at the election of such Holder, any part (equal to a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall pay any interest installment due on an Interest Payment Date which occurs on or prior to the repurchase date to the Holders of the Notes of the applicable Series as of the close of business on the applicable record date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

(a) The Corporation shall send a notice to each Holder of the applicable Notes by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred, or at its option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control. The notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and shall describe the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and shall irrevocably offer (subject to consummation of the Change of Control Repurchase Event) to repurchase all of such Notes on the repurchase date specified in the notice. Subject to the following sentence, the

repurchase date shall be at least 30 days but no more than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). If the notice is sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, the notice shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the repurchase date specified in the notice. Holders electing to have their Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book‑entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Paying Agent shall promptly send to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee, upon the Corporation’s execution and delivery of the related Notes, shall promptly authenticate and send (or cause to be transferred by book‑entry) to each Holder a new Note of the same Series equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any Notes properly tendered.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Corporation shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes of the applicable Series that have not been validly withdrawn; (ii) on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (other than the Corporation or an Affiliate of the Corporation) money sufficient to pay the required payment for all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes of such Series that have not been validly withdrawn; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the repurchased Notes of such Series, accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of repurchased Notes of such Series. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Corporation any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Corporation in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the repurchase price of all Notes to be repurchased.

(c) The Corporation 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 Notes of any Series as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.3 or the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

(d) The Corporation shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes 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 of this Section 3.3 and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by the Holders thereof under its offer.

(e) If Notes tendered in a Change of Control Offer are paid or if the Corporation has deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the repurchase price of all Notes to be repurchased, on and after the repurchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes tendered and not withdrawn in a Change of

Control Offer (regardless of whether certificates for such Notes are actually surrendered). If any Security tendered in a Change of Control Offer shall not be so paid upon surrender for repurchase because of the failure of the Corporation to comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 3.3, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the repurchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided in such Security.

This Section 3.3 is one of the covenants eligible for the provisions of Section 8.3 of the Indenture.

SECTION 3.4 Maintenance of Office or Agency. In the event that certificated Notes of any Series are outstanding, then, for so long as such certificated Notes of such Series are outstanding, the Corporation shall maintain in the United States, an office or agency where certificated Notes of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment and where certificated Notes of each such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations.

The Corporation shall pay interest in United States dollars semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on [ ] (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), except as provided in Section 10.7 of the Indenture with respect to an Interest Payment Date that is not a Business Day. Interest on this 2023 Note shall accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [ ].

The Corporation shall pay interest on this 2023 Note on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are Holders of this 2023 Note at the close of business on the 15th calendar day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such 15th calendar day is a Business Day, even if this 2023 Note is cancelled after such regular record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. This 2023 Note shall be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose within the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York; provided that (a) payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Securities and (b) at the option of the Corporation, payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date may be made by check mailed to a Holder’s address.

The 2023 Notes issued on the Issue Date of the Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Corporation initially limited to $________ in aggregate principal amount.

No director, officer, employee or stockholder, past, present or future, of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of the Corporation under the 2023 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee or stockholder.

No recourse may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Corporation on the 2023 Notes or under the Indenture, Supplemental Indenture or any related documents, any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Trustee in its individual capacity, or (ii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, officer, director, employee, agent, successor or assign of the Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iii) any holder of equity in the Trustee.

Each Holder of 2023 Notes by accepting a 2023 Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the 2023 Notes.
