WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of May 14, 2026 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Base Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of the Issuer’s unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness;

Ratings Event” means the rating on the applicable series of Notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and such series of Notes is rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any day within the 60-day period (which 60-day period will be extended so long as the rating of the applicable series of Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (2) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Issuer’s intention to effect a Change of Control; provided, however, that a Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Issuer’s or its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Ratings Event).

(a)  The Treasury Rate applicable to the redemption of Notes of a series 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) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the applicable 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 applicable redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (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 the applicable Par Call Date 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 applicable redemption date.

 

4

 

 

(b)  If on the third business day preceding the applicable redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate applicable to such redemption 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, the applicable Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date 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 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.

 

Trustee” has the meaning set forth in the preamble hereof.

 

Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

ARTICLE 2
THE NOTES

 

Section 2.01. Form and Dating. (a) In accordance with Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer hereby creates the Notes as a separate series of its Securities issued pursuant to the Base Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication included thereon will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A with respect to the 2031 Notes and Exhibit B with respect to the 2036 Notes. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. Each series of the Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more registered Global Securities, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 with integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of this Supplemental Indenture or any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, will govern and be controlling.

 

(b) Each series of the Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, attached hereto. Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes of such series as will be specified therein and each will provide that it will represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the custodian of the Notes, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with written instructions given by the Holder thereof. The Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes of each series.

 

(c) The Notes shall not be exchangeable for or convertible into the Common Stock of the Issuer or any other security.

 

(d) The following legends will appear on the face of all Global Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture.

 

“THIS SECURITY IS A REGISTERED GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, WHICH MAY BE TREATED BY THE ISSUER, THE TRUSTEE AND ANY AGENT THEREOF AS OWNER AND HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY FOR ALL PURPOSES.

 

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”) TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

 

6

 

 

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

 

Section 2.02. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuer will be entitled, upon delivery to the Trustee of an Issuer Order, Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, to issue Additional Notes of any series issued under this Supplemental Indenture which will have identical terms as the relevant Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance, the issue price and, in some cases, the first interest payment date (“Additional Notes”); provided that the Issuer is in compliance with the covenants contained in this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture. Each series of the Initial Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes of the same series issued will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Supplemental Indenture; provided that, if any such Additional Notes subsequently issued are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Initial Notes of the same series previously issued, such Additional Notes shall be issued under a separate CUSIP, ISIN and/or any other identifying number, but shall otherwise be treated as a single class with the relevant Initial Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture.

 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee Board Resolutions and an Officer’s Certificate which shall contain the following information:

 

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture; and

 

(b) the issue price, the issue date, the initial interest payment date and the CUSIP number and/or ISIN of such Additional Notes.

 

Section 2.03. [Reserved.]

 

Section 2.04. Certificated Notes. If DTC is at any time unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as Depositary, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days, the Issuer will issue Notes of like tenor in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, in definitive form in exchange for an applicable registered Global Note that had been held by the Depositary. Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered Global Note will be registered in the name or names that the Depositary gives to the Trustee or other relevant agent of the Trustee. It is expected that the Depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the Depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the applicable registered Global Note that had been held by the Depositary. In addition, if (x) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes or (y) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that the Notes shall no longer be represented by a Global Note and it is electing to cause the issuance of certificated Notes, the Issuer may at any time issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for such Global Note pursuant to the procedure described above.

 

7

 

 

Payments (including principal, premium and interest) with respect to certificated Notes will be made by the Paying Agent and transfers with respect to certificated Notes may be made at the office or agency of the Security Registrar. The Issuer may also choose to pay interest by check mailed to the Holders thereof at the respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of the Notes (maintained by the Security Registrar); provided that all payments (including principal, premium and interest) on certificated Notes, for which the Holders thereof have given wire transfer instructions, will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

 

Section 3.01. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Notes. Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Article 12 of the Base Indenture and may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent including any related Change of Control or other corporate transactions. In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related 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 as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such redemption date be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was transmitted), 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 or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. If less than all of the applicable series of Notes are to be redeemed, selection of the applicable series of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair and in accordance with the procedures of DTC. If any Note of any series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the applicable Note to be redeemed. A new Note of any series in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the applicable Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of such Note upon surrender for cancellation of such original Note. For so long as any series of Notes are held by DTC (or another Depositary), the redemption of such series of Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

 

8

 

 

Section 3.02. Notes Redeemed in Part. No Notes of any series of a principal amount of $2,000 or less may be redeemed in part.

 

Section 3.03. Optional Redemption. (a) Prior to April 15, 2031, in the case of the 2031 Notes (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2031 Notes) (the “2031 Notes Par Call Date”), and prior to February 15, 2036, in the case of the 2036 Notes (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2036 Notes) (the “2036 Notes Par Call Date” and, together with the 2031 Notes Par Call Date, the “Par Call Dates” and each, a “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the applicable series of Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

 

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on their applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points with respect to the 2031 Notes and 15 basis points with respect to the 2036 Notes, in each case, less (b) interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date; and

 

(2)100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

 

(b) On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

 

(c) Prior to the redemption date, the Issuer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel stating that the conditions precedent to the Issuer’s right to so redeem have occurred and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the redemption price, showing the calculation in reasonable detail. The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 4.01. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event. (a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless, with respect to any series of Notes, the Issuer has exercised its option to redeem such series of Notes pursuant to Section 3.03, Holders of each series of Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to the date of the consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail a notice to Holders of each applicable series of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Notes and described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Issuer must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering 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 this Section 4.01 or the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflicts.

 

Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event. No Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

 

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful:

 

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(ii) deposit with a paying agent appointed by the Issuer in connection with a Change of Control Offer an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

 

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

 

10
