ARTICLE ONE

DEFINITIONS

Section 101. Definition of Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) each term defined in the Indenture has the same meaning when used in this First Supplemental Indenture;

(b) each term defined anywhere in this First Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout;

(c) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; and

(d) headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation.

ARTICLE TWO

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE FLOATING RATE NOTES

Section 201. Designation and Principal Amount. There is hereby authorized and established a series of Securities under the Indenture, designated as the “Floating Rate Notes due 2023”, which is not limited in aggregate principal amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes to be issued on the date hereof is set forth in Article Ten herein.

Section 202. Maturity. The Stated Maturity of principal of the Floating Rate Notes is September 15, 2023.

Section 203. Further Issues. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes, issue additional Floating Rate Notes. Any such additional Floating Rate Notes will have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Floating Rate Notes herein provided for. Any such additional Floating Rate Notes, together with the Floating Rate Notes herein provided for, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture. No additional Floating Rate Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Floating Rate Notes. The Company will not issue any additional Floating Rate Notes intended to form a single series with the Floating Rate Notes herein provided for unless such additional Floating Rate Notes will be fungible with the Floating Rate Notes herein provided for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 204. Global Notes. Upon their original issuance, the Floating Rate Notes will be represented by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Company will deposit the Global Securities with DTC or its custodian and register the Global Securities in the name of Cede & Co.

Section 205. Interest.

(a) The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.33%. The Calculation Agent will set the initial interest rate on September 5, 2018 and reset the interest rate on each Interest Payment Date (each such date, an “Interest Reset Date”). The second London Business Day preceding an Interest Reset Date will be the “Interest Determination Date” for that Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect on each date that is not an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect on any day that is an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant interest period and a 360-day year.

(b) Interest on the Floating Rate Notes will accrue from and including September 7, 2018, to, but excluding, the first Interest Payment Date and thereafter from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears and the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable are March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2018; and the Record Date for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date is the close of business on the March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment on that day will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date to the date of payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) The following defined terms used in this Article Two shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below.

“Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, and its successors and assigns. The Calculation Agent shall serve as the calculation agent hereunder unless and until a successor calculation agent is appointed by the Company.

“LIBOR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on either Reuters Page LIBOR01 or Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, LIBOR for that Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (ii) below.

 

-3-


(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM, as specified in (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If, however, the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by the previous sentence, LIBOR determined as of that Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on that Interest Determination Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, if the Company determines that three-month LIBOR has been permanently discontinued, or the reference to three-month LIBOR becomes illegal, or most other debt obligations similar to the Floating Rate Notes have converted away from three-month LIBOR to a new reference rate, the Calculation Agent will use, as directed by the Company, as a substitute for three-month LIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate (the “Alternative Rate”) selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) that is consistent with accepted market practice. As part of such substitution, the Calculation Agent will, as directed by the Company, make such adjustments (“Adjustments”) to the Alternative Rate and the spread thereon to account for the basis between three-month LIBOR and the Alternative Rate, as well as the Business Day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the Floating Rate Notes. If the Company determines that

 

-4-


there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced three-month LIBOR in customary market usage, the Company may appoint in its sole discretion an independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine an appropriate Alternative Rate, and any Adjustments, and the decision of the IFA will be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and the Holders. If, however, the Calculation Agent determines that three-month LIBOR has been discontinued, but for any reason an Alternative Rate has not been determined, three-month LIBOR will be equal to such rate on the Interest Determination Date when three-month LIBOR was last available on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page or Bloomberg L.P. Page BBAM, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

“Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM” means the display designated as the Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM” (or such other screen as may replace the Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM” on the service (or any successor service) as may be nominated by ICE Benchmark Administration for the purpose of displaying London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollar deposits).

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display designated on page LIBOR01 by Reuters Group plc (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service (or any successor service) or such other service as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits).

(d) All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545 % (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). Each calculation of the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes and the Company.

(e) So long as any of the Floating Rate Notes remains outstanding, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Calculation Agent. If The Bank of New York Mellon is unable or unwilling to continue to act as the Calculation Agent or if it fails to calculate properly the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes for any interest period, the Company will appoint another leading commercial or investment bank engaged in the London interbank market to act as Calculation Agent in its place. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed. The Trustee, through its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York (in such capacity, the “Paying Agent”) will act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to the Floating Rate Notes. Payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, will be made by the Company through the Paying Agent to DTC.

 

-5-


(f) The interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application.

Section 206. Authorized Denominations. The Floating Rate Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 207. No Optional Redemption. The Company may not redeem the Floating Rate Notes at its option prior to Stated Maturity.

Section 208. Appointment of Agents. The Trustee will initially be the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Floating Rate Notes and will act as such only at its corporate trust offices in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

As revised by the

Global Security

attached hereto

Interest. Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($300,000,000), as revised by the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Security attached hereto, on September 15, 2023 and to pay interest thereon from September 7, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 in each year, commencing December 15, 2018 at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 0.33% until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

The Calculation Agent will set the initial interest rate on September 5, 2018 and reset the interest rate on each Interest Payment Date (each such date, an “Interest Reset Date”). The second London Business Day preceding an Interest Reset Date will be the “Interest Determination Date” for that Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect on each date that is not an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect on any day that is an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant interest period and a 360-day year.

Interest on the Floating Rate Notes will accrue from and including September 7, 2018, to, but excluding, the first Interest Payment Date and thereafter from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears and the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable are March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2018. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment on that day will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date to the date of payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

A-1


The following defined terms used herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below.

“Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, and its successors and assigns. The Calculation Agent shall serve as the Calculation Agent hereunder unless and until a successor Calculation Agent is appointed by the Company.

“LIBOR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on either Reuters Page LIBOR01 or Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, LIBOR for that Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (ii) below.

(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM, as specified in (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If, however, the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by the previous sentence, LIBOR determined as of that Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on that Interest Determination Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, if the Company determines that three-month LIBOR has been permanently discontinued, or the reference to three-month LIBOR becomes illegal, or most other debt obligations similar to the Floating Rate Notes have converted away from three-month LIBOR to a new reference rate, the Calculation Agent will use, as directed by the Company, as a substitute for three-month LIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate (the “Alternative Rate”) selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) that is consistent with accepted market practice. As part of such substitution, the Calculation Agent will, as directed by the Company, make such adjustments (“Adjustments”) to the Alternative Rate and the spread thereon to account for the basis between three-month LIBOR and the Alternative Rate, as well as the Business Day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the Floating Rate Notes. If the Company determines that there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced three-month LIBOR in customary market usage, the Company may appoint in its sole discretion an independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine an appropriate Alternative Rate, and any Adjustments, and the decision of the IFA will be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and the Holders. If, however, the Calculation Agent determines that three-month LIBOR has been discontinued, but for any reason an Alternative Rate has not been determined, three-month LIBOR will be equal to such rate on the Interest Determination Date when three-month LIBOR was last available on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page or Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

 

A-2


“Bloomberg L.P. page BBAM” means the display designated as the Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM” (or such other screen as may replace the Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM” on the service (or any successor service) as may be nominated by ICE Benchmark Administration for the purpose of displaying London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollar deposits).

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display designated on page LIBOR01 by Reuters Group plc (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service (or any successor service) or such other service as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits).

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545 % (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). Each calculation of the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes and the Company.

So long as any of the Floating Rate Notes remains outstanding, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Calculation Agent. If that bank is unable or unwilling to continue to act as the Calculation Agent or if it fails to calculate properly the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes for any interest period, the Company will appoint another leading commercial or investment bank engaged in the London interbank market to act as Calculation Agent in its place. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed. The Trustee, through its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York (in such capacity, the “Paying Agent”) will act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to the Floating Rate Notes. Payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, will be made by the Company through the Paying Agent to DTC.

The interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application.

Method of Payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the March 1, June 1, September 1 or December 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice thereof having been given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

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

Authentication. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Indenture. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 7, 2018, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 7, 2018 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000.

Optional Redemption. At the Company’s option, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time (each, a “Redemption Date”). The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Securities will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date, and

(b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities being redeemed on such Redemption Date (not including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), plus 5 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Once notice of redemption is mailed by the Company, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the applicable Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the applicable Redemption Date and applicable Securities to be redeemed, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company to act as the “Independent Investment Banker.”

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

B-3


“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date and Securities to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Securities (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the applicable Redemption Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, the particular Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Securities not previously called.

Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

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

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting as one class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series, with respect to which any default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit unsecured debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

[Reverse of Security]

Indenture. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 7, 2018, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 7, 2018 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000.

Optional Redemption. At the Company’s option, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole, at any time or in part, from time to time prior to June 15, 2028 (three months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Securities (the date of any such redemption a “Redemption Date”)). The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Securities will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date, and

(b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities being redeemed on such Redemption Date (not including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), plus 15 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

Any time on or after June 15, 2028, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Once notice of redemption is mailed by the Company, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the applicable Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the applicable Redemption Date and applicable Securities to be redeemed, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company to act as the “Independent Investment Banker.”

 

D-3


“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date and Securities to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Securities (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the applicable Redemption Date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, the particular Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Securities not previously called.

Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

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

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting as one class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series, with respect to which any default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit unsecured debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

D-4


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

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Miscellaneous. The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

All terms used in this Security and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date and Securities to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Securities (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the applicable Redemption Date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, the particular Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Securities not previously called.

Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture.
