THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Form and Dating. (a) In accordance with Sections 2.01 and 2.02 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby creates the Notes as a separate series of its Securities issued pursuant to the Base Indenture. The Notes and the Trustees certificate of authentication included thereon will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A with respect to the 2026 Notes and Exhibit B with respect to the 2029 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 100,000 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 Company 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 as required by Section 2.02 hereof. The Company initially appoints Euroclear and Clearstream to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes of each series.

(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 COMPANY, 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 EUROCLEAR BANK, S.A./N.V, AS OPERATOR OF THE EUROCLEAR SYSTEM (EUROCLEAR) AND CLEARSTREAM BANKING S.A. (CLEARSTREAM, AND TOGETHER WITH EUROCLEAR, EUROCLEAR/CLEARSTREAM) TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF EUROCLEAR/CLEARSTREAM (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF EUROCLEAR/CLEARSTREAM), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

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 Company will be entitled, upon delivery to the Trustee of an Authentication Order, Officers 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 Company 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, Common Code 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 Company shall provide to the Trustee a Board Resolutions and an Officers 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, ISIN and/or Common Code of such Additional Notes.

Section 2.03. Issuance in Euro; Payment on the Notes. Initial Holders will be required to pay for the Notes in euros, and all payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, including any payments made upon any redemption of the Notes, will be payable in euros and at the office or agency maintained for that purpose, which initially will be the office of the Paying Agent located at 160 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4LA, United Kingdom. The Company may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks to the address as it appears on the Companys register or making wire transfers to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the register. The Company may also arrange for additional paying agent offices and may change these offices. As long as the Notes are in book-entry form, the Company will make payments of principal and interest through the Paying Agent. However, if on or after the date of the issuance of the Notes, the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Companys control, or the euro is no longer being used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Companys sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for euros. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall not be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

Section 2.04. Certificated Notes. If Clearstream or Euroclear is at any time unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as Depositary, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue Notes of like tenor in minimum denominations of 100,000 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 Depositarys 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 Company, 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 Company may at any time issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for such Global Note pursuant to the procedure described above.

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 Registrar. The Company 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 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 Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

For so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted as a matter of law, ensure that there is a Paying Agent for the Notes in the United Kingdom or a member state of the European Union (if such state exists) that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to U.S. law in the event definitive registered Notes are issued.

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 Depositarys 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 3 of the Base Indenture. 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 Euroclear and Clearstream. 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 Euroclear or Clearstream (or another Depositary), the redemption of such series of Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

Section 3.02. Notes Redeemed in Part. No Notes of any series of a principal amount of 100,000 or less may be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03. Optional Redemption. (a) Prior to February 13, 2026, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and prior to July 15, 2029 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes) (the 2029 Notes Par Call Date), in the case of the 2029 Notes, the Company 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 (in the case of the 2029 Notes, assuming the 2029 Notes matured on the 2029 Notes Par Call Date), on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)), at a rate equal to the comparable government bond rate plus 20 basis points with respect to the 2026 Notes and 25 basis points with respect to the 2029 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 2029 Notes Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2029 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 2029 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

(c) The redemption prices will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes of such series (or February 13, 2024 if no interest has been paid on the Notes of such series), to, but not including, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. Prior to the Redemption Date, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officers Certificate or Opinion of Counsel stating that the conditions precedent to the Companys right to so redeem have occurred and (ii) an Officers Certificate setting forth the redemption price, showing the calculation in reasonable detail. The Companys actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 3.04. Optional Redemption for Tax Reasons. The Company may, at its option, redeem the applicable series of Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such series of Notes to be redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date, at any time, if as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations, treaties, or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision of or in the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in, or amendment to, the application, official interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations, treaties or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States), which change or amendment is enacted, adopted, announced or becomes effective on or after February 8, 2024, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the applicable series of Notes. Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositarys procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be Redeemed.

Section 3.05. Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments in respect of the Notes will be made by or on behalf of the Company without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, imposed or levied by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding or deduction is required by (i) the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (ii) an official position regarding the application, administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or rulings (including, without limitation, a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in the United States or any political subdivision thereof), the Company will pay to a Holder who is not a United States person such additional amounts (the Additional Amounts) on the Notes as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or the Paying Agent of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes to such Holder, after such withholding or deduction, will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:

(i) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a Person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

(A) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States or having or having had a qualified business unit which has the United States dollar as its functional currency;

(B) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights thereunder) or being considered as having such relationship, including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States;

(C) being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or a foreign personal holding company that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(D) being or having been an owner of a 10% or greater interest in the voting power of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code) or any successor provision; or

(E) being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor provision;

(ii) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

ARTICLE 4

PARTICULAR COVENANTS

The covenant set forth in this Article 4 shall be applicable to the Company in addition to the covenants in Article 4 of the Base Indenture, which shall in all respects be applicable in respect of the Notes.

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 Company 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 Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to 100,000 or an integral multiple of 1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holders 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 Company 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 Companys 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Officers Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

(c) The paying agent appointed by the Company in connection with a Change of Control Offer will promptly pay to each Holder of Notes of each applicable series properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes of such series surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of equal to 100,000 or an integral multiple of 1,000 in excess thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.01, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Base Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
