[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 Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 11, 2019 (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 $1,750,000,000.

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 December 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 10 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 December 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.”

 

C-3


“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities 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.

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

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee 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.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,250,000,000.

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 September 15, 2048 (six 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 September 15, 2048, 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.”

 

E-3


“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities 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.

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.
