ANNEX A

Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the “Indenture”), between PayPal Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the terms of a series of Securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows:

Designation. The designation of the securities is “3.900% Notes due 2027” (the “2027 Notes”).

Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2027 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000 (except for 2027 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with the Indenture or this Annex A (this “Annex”)).

Currency Denomination. The 2027 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars.

Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2027 Notes is payable is June 1, 2027.

Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2027 Note shall bear interest from May 23, 2022 at 3.900% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2022, to the Persons in whose names the 2027 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Interest on the 2027 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 23, 2022. Interest on the 2027 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2027 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delay in payment).

Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2027 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2027 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by sending a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2027 Notes register; provided, however, that while any 2027 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2027 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

Optional Redemption. Prior to May 1, 2027, the 2027 Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the

A-1

date of redemption (assuming the 2027 Notes matured on May 1, 2027) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any 2027 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after May 1, 2027 the Issuer may redeem the 2027 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2027 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices of any redemption will be mailed (or in the case of 2027 Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the 2027 Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2027 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2027 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2027 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company’s applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

A-2

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

•

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2027 (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to May 1, 2027 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

•

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, May 1, 2027. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on May 1, 2027 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from May 1, 2027, one with a maturity date preceding May 1, 2027 and one with a maturity date following May 1, 2027, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding May 1, 2027. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on May 1, 2027 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

A-3

Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2027 Notes in whole as described in Section 7 above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of 2027 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder’s 2027 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2027 Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2027 Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, 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.

The Issuer will 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 2027 Notes 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 Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2027 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2027 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(a)

accept for payment all 2027 Notes or portions of 2027 Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;

(b)

deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2027 Notes or portions of 2027 Notes properly tendered; and

(c)

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the 2027 Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

A-4

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2027 Notes held in book- entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of 2027 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such 2027 Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2027 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2027 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2027 Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2027 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 for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8 and the third party repurchases all 2027 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and the Issuer will not, make an offer to repurchase any 2027 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the 2027 Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such 2027 Notes in an offer to repurchase the 2027 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such 2027 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer 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 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all 2027 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% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2027 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the 2027 Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the 2027 Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

A-5

consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares or voting power of the Issuer’s Voting Equity Interests; (3) the adoption of a plan by the Issuer’s board of directors relating to the Issuer’s liquidation or dissolution; or (4) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Issuer’s outstanding Voting Equity Interests or the outstanding Voting Equity Interests 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 Issuer’s Voting Equity Interests outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Equity Interests of the surviving Person or parent entity thereof immediately after giving effect to such transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (a) the Issuer becomes a wholly-owned Subsidiary of another Person and (b) immediately following that transaction, a majority of Voting Equity Interests of such Person is held by the direct or indirect holders of the Issuer’s Voting Equity Interests immediately prior to such transaction and in substantially the same proportions as immediately prior to such transaction.

3.900% Notes due 2027

PayPal Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) on June 1, 2027 and to pay interest on said principal sum from May 23, 2022, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) of each year commencing on December 1, 2022, at the rate of 3.900% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable.

The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which the principal or interest payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture (referred to on the reverse hereof) be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15 prior to such Interest Payment Date, as applicable (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such record date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest), notice whereof shall be sent by or on behalf of the Issuer to the registered Holders of Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest, to the extent this Note is not represented by a Registered Global Security, may be made at the option of the Issuer by check sent to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the registry books of the Issuer; provided, further, that for so long as this Note is represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on this Note may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee (as defined below) under the Indenture (as defined below), by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Issuer designated as its 3.900% Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (f/k/a Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) as Trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are Senior Securities within the meaning of the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only as Registered Securities in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable. This Note is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

Prior to May 1, 2027, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the Notes matured on May 1, 2027) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after May 1, 2027, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices will be sent (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in

A-1-1

the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company’s applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

•

A-1-2

Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, 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.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 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 Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(a)

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;

(b)

deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(c)

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

A-1-3

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will 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 for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and will not, make an offer to repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer 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 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all 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% 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.

Designation. The designation of the securities is “4.400% Notes due 2032” (the “2032 Notes”).

Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2032 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000 (except for 2032 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with the Indenture or this Annex B (this “Annex”)).

Currency Denomination. The 2032 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars.

Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2032 Notes is payable is June 1, 2032.

Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2032 Note shall bear interest from May 23, 2022 at 4.400% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2022, to the Persons in whose names the 2032 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Interest on the 2032 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 23, 2022. Interest on the 2032 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2032 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delay in payment).

Notices of any redemption will be mailed (or in the case of 2032 Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the 2032 Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2032 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2032 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2032 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company’s applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

B-2

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

•

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to March 1, 2032 (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to March 1, 2032 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

•

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, March 1, 2032. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on March 1, 2032 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from March 1, 2032, one with a maturity date preceding March 1, 2032 and one with a maturity date following March 1, 2032, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding March 1, 2032. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on March 1, 2032 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

B-3

Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2032 Notes in whole as described in Section 7 above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of 2032 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder’s 2032 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2032 Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2032 Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2032 Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, 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.

The Issuer will 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 2032 Notes 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 Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2032 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2032 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(a)

accept for payment all 2032 Notes or portions of 2032 Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;

(b)

deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2032 Notes or portions of 2032 Notes properly tendered; and

(c)

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the 2032 Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2032 Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

B-4

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2032 Notes held in book- entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of 2032 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such 2032 Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2032 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2032 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2032 Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2032 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 for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8 and the third party repurchases all 2032 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and the Issuer will not, make an offer to repurchase any 2032 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the 2032 Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such 2032 Notes in an offer to repurchase the 2032 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such 2032 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer 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 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all 2032 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% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2032 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the 2032 Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the 2032 Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

(e)

the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such Principal Property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business (including the purchase or development of other Principal Property) or to the retirement of Indebtedness that is pari passu with the 2032 Notes (including the 2032 Notes) within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of pari passu Indebtedness, the Issuer may deliver 2032 Notes to the Trustee for cancellation, such 2032 Notes to be credited at the cost thereof.

“Aggregate Debt” means the sum of the following, as of the date of determination: (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness incurred after the date of initial issuance of the 2032 Notes and secured by Liens not permitted by the first paragraph under “—Limitation on Liens” above and (2) the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of the initial issuance of the 2032 Notes pursuant to the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions” above.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Issuer designated as its 4.400% Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (f/k/a Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) as Trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are Senior Securities within the meaning of the Indenture.

Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable. This Note is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

Prior to March 1, 2032, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the Notes matured on March 1, 2032) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after March 1, 2032, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices will be sent (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to March 1, 2032 (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to March 1, 2032 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(d) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;

Currency Denomination. The 2052 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars.

Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2052 Notes is payable is June 1, 2052.

Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2052 Note shall bear interest from May 23, 2022 at 5.050% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2022, to the Persons in whose names the 2052 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Interest on the 2052 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 23, 2022. Interest on the 2052 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2052 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delay in payment).

Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2052 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2052 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by sending a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2052 Notes register; provided, however, that while any 2052 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2052 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

Optional Redemption. Prior to December 1, 2051, the 2052 Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2052 Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest

C-1

thereon discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the 2052 Notes matured on December 1, 2051) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 30 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any 2052 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after December 1, 2051, the Issuer may redeem the 2052 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2052 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2052 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices of any redemption will be mailed (or in the case of 2052 Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of the 2052 Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the 2052 Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2052 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2052 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2052 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company’s applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

C-2

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

•

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to December 1, 2051 (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to December 1, 2051 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

•

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, December 1, 2051. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on December 1, 2051 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from December 1, 2051, one with a maturity date preceding December 1, 2051 and one with a maturity date following December 1, 2051, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding December 1, 2051. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on December 1, 2051 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City

C-3

time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2052 Notes in whole as described in Section 7 above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of 2052 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder’s 2052 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2052 Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2052 Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2052 Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, 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.

The Issuer will 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 2052 Notes 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 Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2052 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2052 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(a)

accept for payment all 2052 Notes or portions of 2052 Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;

(b)

deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2052 Notes or portions of 2052 Notes properly tendered; and

(c)

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the 2052 Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2052 Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

C-4

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2052 Notes held in book- entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of 2052 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such 2052 Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2052 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2052 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2052 Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2052 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 for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8 and the third party repurchases all 2052 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and the Issuer will not, make an offer to repurchase any 2052 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the 2052 Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the 2052 Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such 2052 Notes in an offer to repurchase the 2052 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such 2052 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer 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 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all 2052 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% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2052 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2052 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the 2052 Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the 2052 Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Issuer designated as its 5.050% Notes due 2052 (the “Notes”). The Notes are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (f/k/a Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) as Trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are Senior Securities within the meaning of the Indenture.

Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable. This Note is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

Prior to December 1, 2051, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the Notes matured on December 1, 2051) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after December 1, 2051, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices will be sent (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be

C-1-1

rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company’s applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

•

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to December 1, 2051 (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to December 1, 2051 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

•

C-1-2

are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on December 1, 2051 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(g)

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;

(h)

deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(i)

C-1-4

Person or parent entity thereof immediately after giving effect to such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (a) the Issuer becomes a wholly-owned Subsidiary of another Person and (b) immediately following that transaction, a majority of Voting Equity Interests of such Person is held by the direct or indirect Holders of the Issuer’s Voting Equity Interests immediately prior to such transaction and in substantially the same proportions as immediately prior to such transaction.

ANNEX D

Designation. The designation of the securities is “5.250% Notes due 2062” (the “2062 Notes”).

Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2062 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000 (except for 2062 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with the Indenture or this Annex D (this “Annex”)).

Currency Denomination. The 2062 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars.

Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2062 Notes is payable is June 1, 2062.

Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2062 Note shall bear interest from May 23, 2022 at 5.250% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2022, to the Persons in whose names the 2062 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Interest on the 2062 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 23, 2022. Interest on the 2062 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2062 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delay in payment).

Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2062 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2062 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by sending a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2062 Notes register; provided, however, that while any 2062 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2062 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

Optional Redemption. Prior to December 1, 2061, the 2062 Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2062 Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest

D-1

thereon discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the 2062 Notes matured on December 1, 2061) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 35 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any 2062 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after December 1, 2061, the Issuer may redeem the 2062 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2062 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2062 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices of any redemption will be mailed (or in the case of 2062 Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of the 2062 Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the 2062 Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2062 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2062 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2062 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company’s applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

D-2

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

•

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to December 1, 2061 (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to December 1, 2061 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

•

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, December 1, 2061. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on December 1, 2061 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from December 1, 2061, one with a maturity date preceding December 1, 2061 and one with a maturity date following December 1, 2061, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding December 1, 2061. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on December 1, 2061 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City

D-3

Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2062 Notes in whole as described in Section 7 above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of 2062 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder’s 2062 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2062 Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2062 Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2062 Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, 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.

The Issuer will 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 2062 Notes 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 Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2062 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2062 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(a)

accept for payment all 2062 Notes or portions of 2062 Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;

(b)

deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2062 Notes or portions of 2062 Notes properly tendered; and

(c)

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the 2062 Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2062 Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

D-4

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2062 Notes held in book- entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of 2062 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such 2062 Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2062 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2062 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2062 Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2062 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 for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8 and the third party repurchases all 2062 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and the Issuer will not, make an offer to repurchase any 2062 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the 2062 Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the 2062 Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such 2062 Notes in an offer to repurchase the 2062 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such 2062 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer 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 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all 2062 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% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2062 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2062 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Issuer designated as its 5.250% Notes due 2062 (the “Notes”). The Notes are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (f/k/a Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) as Trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are Senior Securities within the meaning of the Indenture.

Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable. This Note is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

Prior to December 1, 2061, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the Notes matured on December 1, 2061) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after December 1, 2061, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices will be sent (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) 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, or such notice may be

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to December 1, 2061 (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to December 1, 2061 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
