THIS FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of December 9, 2025, among CHEVRON U.S.A. INC., a Pennsylvania corporation, as Issuer (the “Company”), CHEVRON CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as Guarantor (“Guarantor”), and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a New York State banking corporation, as Trustee (the “Trustee”) and Calculation Agent (as defined herein).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee have entered into that certain Indenture dated as of August 12, 2020 (the “Indenture”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 of the Indenture, the Company wishes to enter into this Fifth Supplemental Indenture to establish the terms and provisions of one series of Securities (as defined in the Indenture);

WHEREAS, in compliance with the requirements of the Indenture, each of the Company and Guarantor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, and all things necessary have been done to make this Fifth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with its terms:

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

That in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the Company and the Guarantor covenant and agree with the Trustee, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Securities, as follows:

Article One

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Definitions. The terms defined in this Section 1.01 shall, for all purposes of the Indenture and this Fifth Supplemental Indenture have the meanings herein specified, unless the context clearly otherwise requires.

(A) The Notes

The term “Notes” shall mean the $154,204,000 in aggregate principal amount Floating Rate Notes Due 2075.

(B) Benchmark

“Benchmark” means, initially, Compounded SOFR (as defined herein); provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR (or the published SOFR Index used in the calculation thereof) or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

The term “Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company or its Designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)

the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2)

the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

(3)

the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company or its Designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(D) Benchmark Replacement Adjustment

The term “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company or its Designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)

the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2)

if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; and

(3)

the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company or its Designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

The Benchmark Replacement Adjustment shall not include the margin specified for the Notes in Section 2.02(C), and such margin shall be applied to the Benchmark Replacement to determine the interest payable on the Notes.

(E) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes

The term “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition or interpretation of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors, changes to the definition of “Corresponding Tenor” solely when such tenor is longer than the Interest Period and other administrative matters) that the Company or its Designee decide may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or its Designee decide that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company or its Designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company or its Designee determine is reasonably necessary or practicable).

(F) Benchmark Replacement Date

The term “Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)

in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; and

(2)

in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

(G) Benchmark Transition Event

The term “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)

a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2)

a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3)

a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

(H) Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations

The term “Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations” shall mean the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, dated August 4, 2020, executed by the Company and delivered to The Depository Trust Company.

(I) Calculation Agent

The term “Calculation Agent” shall mean Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, until a successor replaces it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture and, thereafter, shall mean such successor.

(J) Compounded SOFR

“Compounded SOFR” shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following formula (and the resulting percentage shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point):

LOGO

where:

“SOFR Index_Start” = For periods other than the initial Interest Period, the SOFR Index value on the preceding Interest Determination Date, and, for the initial Interest Period, the SOFR Index value on December 5, 2025;

“SOFR Index_End” = The SOFR Index value on the Interest Determination Date relating to the applicable Interest Payment Date (or, in the final Interest Period, relating to the maturity date or, in the case of a redemption or repayment of the Notes, relating to the applicable redemption or repayment date); and

“d_c” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period.

For the purposes of determining Compounded SOFR:

“Observation Period” means, in respect of each Interest Period for the Notes, the period from and including the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the first date in such Interest Period to but excluding the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the Interest Payment Date for such Interest Period (or, in the final Interest Period, preceding the maturity date or, in the case of a redemption or repayment of the Notes, relating to the applicable redemption or repayment date).

“SOFR” means the daily secured overnight financing rate as provided by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

“SOFR Administrator” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of SOFR).

“SOFR Administrator’s Website” means the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

“SOFR Index” means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the SOFR Index value as published by the SOFR Administrator as such index appears on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on such U.S. Government Securities Business Day (the “SOFR Index Determination Time”); provided that if a SOFR Index value does not so appear as specified above at the SOFR Index Determination Time, then: (i) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, then Compounded SOFR shall be the rate determined pursuant to the “SOFR Index Unavailable Provisions” described below, or (ii) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to SOFR, then Compounded SOFR shall be the rate determined pursuant to the “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” provisions set out in Section 2.02(D) below.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

If a SOFR Index_Start or SOFR Index_Endis not published on the associated Interest Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR” means, for the applicable Interest Period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website, initially located at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-repo-reference-rates-information. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180-calendar days” shall be removed. If SOFR does not so appear for any day “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Notes, if the Company or its Designee determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time (as defined herein) that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to determining Compounded SOFR, then the benchmark replacement provisions set forth below under Section 2.02(D) “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” shall thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the Notes.

For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for each Interest Period on the Notes shall be an annual rate equal to the Benchmark Replacement minus 0.450%; provided, however, that the minimum interest rate on the Notes shall not be less than 0.000%. The interest rate on the 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.

If the Company or its Designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(K) Corresponding Tenor.

The term “Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

(L) Designee

The term “Designee” means the designee of the Company, which may be the Calculation Agent (only if the Calculation Agent is not the Trustee), a successor calculation agent, or other designee of the Company.

(M) Indenture

The term “Indenture” shall mean the Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2020, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, as it may from time to time hereafter be further supplemented, modified or amended, as provided in the Indenture.

(N) Interest Determination Date

The term “Interest Determination Date” for the Notes shall mean the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days before each Interest Payment Date (or, in the final Interest Period, before the maturity date or, in the case of a redemption or repayment of the Notes, before the applicable redemption or repayment date).

(O) Interest Payment Dates

The term “Interest Payment Dates” shall mean each March 9, June 9, September 9 and December 9, commencing March 9, 2026.

If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will make the interest payment on the next succeeding Business Day unless that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case (other than in the case of the maturity date or any redemption or repayment date) the Company will make the interest payment on the immediately preceding Business Day. If an interest payment is made on the next succeeding Business Day, no interest will accrue as a result of the delay in payment. If the maturity date or any redemption or repayment date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment due on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement.

(P) Interest Period

The term “Interest Period” shall mean (i) the period from and including any Interest Payment Date (or, with respect to the initial Interest Period only, from and including December 9, 2025) to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, (ii) in the case of the last such period, the period from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the maturity date to but excluding the maturity date, or (iii) in the event of any redemption or repayment of the Notes, the period from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the applicable redemption or repayment date to but excluding such date. The initial Interest Period is December 9, 2025 through March 9, 2026.

(Q) ISDA Definitions

The term “ISDA Definitions” means the 2021 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

(R) ISDA Fallback Adjustment

The term “ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

(S) ISDA Fallback Rate

The term “ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor, excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

(T) Reference Time

The term “Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means (1) if the Benchmark is Compounded SOFR, the SOFR Index Determination Time, as such term is defined above, and (2) if the Benchmark is not Compounded SOFR, the time determined by the Company or its Designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(U) Relevant Governmental Body

The term “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

Article Two

TERMS OF THE NOTES

Section 2.01 The Notes Constitute a Series of Securities. The Notes are hereby authorized to be issued under the Indenture as a series of Securities and shall be in the aggregate principal amount of U.S.$154,204,000.

Section 2.02 Terms and Provisions of the Notes. The Notes shall be subject to the terms and provisions hereinafter set forth:

(A)

The Notes shall be designated as the Floating Rate Notes Due 2075.

(B)

The Notes shall mature on December 9, 2075.

(C)

The Notes shall bear interest at a variable rate from December 9, 2025. The interest rate for the Notes for a particular Interest Period will be a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) Compounded SOFR as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date by the Calculation Agent, minus 0.450% and (ii) 0.000%.

On each Interest Determination Date relating to the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the amount of accrued interest payable on the Notes by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in the applicable Observation Period divided by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing two paragraphs, if the Company or its Designee determine on or prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then (i) the Company shall promptly provide written notice of such determination to the Calculation Agent and (ii) the provisions set forth below under Section 2.02(D) “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” (the “Benchmark Transition Provisions”) will thereafter apply to all determinations, calculations and quotations made or obtained for the purposes of calculating the rate and amount of interest payable on the Notes during a relevant Interest Period. In accordance with the Benchmark Transition Provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each Interest Period on the Notes will be a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement minus 0.450% for the Notes as determined by the Company or its Designee provided, however, that the minimum interest rate on the Notes shall not be less than 0.000%.

However, if the Company or its Designee determine that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, but for any reason the Benchmark Replacement has not been determined as of the relevant Interest Determination Date, the interest rate for the applicable Interest Period will be equal to the interest rate on the last Interest Determination Date for the Notes, as determined by the Company or its Designee.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

The interest rate on the 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.

The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of the Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest Period. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate in accordance with the foregoing and shall notify the Trustee or Paying Agent of such interest rate. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and holders of the Notes and neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have the duty to verify determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent.

(D)

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event:

Benchmark Replacement. If the Company or its Designee determine that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its Designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision, election or calculation that may be made by the Company or its Designee pursuant to the benchmark replacement provisions described herein, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in the Company’s or its Designee’s sole discretion and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any documentation relating to the Notes, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the Notes or any other party.

(E)

The Notes shall be issued initially as one Global Security (the “Global Note”) in registered form registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee in such denominations as are required by the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations and otherwise as in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Fifth Supplemental Indenture with such minor changes thereto as may be required in the process of printing or otherwise producing the Global Note but not affecting the substance thereof.

(F)

The Depositary for the Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company.

(G)

The Global Note shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes in registered form substantially the same as the Global Note in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof upon the terms and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

(H)

The Notes shall be payable (as to both principal and interest) when and as the same become due at the office of the Trustee; provided that as long as the Notes are in the form of a Global Note, payments of interest may be made by wire transfer in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and such Global Note; and provided further that upon any exchange of the Global Note for Notes in definitive form, the Company elects to exercise its option to have interest payable by check mailed to the registered owners at such owners’ addresses as they appear on the Register, as kept by the Trustee, on each relevant Record Date.

(I)

The Trustee shall be the registrar for the Notes and the Register of the Notes shall be kept at the principal office of the Trustee.

(J)

Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the Observation Period.

(K)

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the Calculation Agent in connection with the Notes. The Trustee shall be the Calculation Agent until a successor replaces it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture and, thereafter, Calculation Agent shall mean such successor.

(L)

The Record Date for the Notes shall be the fifteenth day preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(M)

The Company or its Designee may redeem the Notes at its option, at any time or from time to time, in amounts of $1,000 or any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at the following redemption prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), if redeemed during the twelve-month periods beginning on December 9 of any of the following years:


Year	Redemption Price
2055		105.000	%
2056		104.500	%
2057		104.000	%
2058		103.500	%
2059		103.000	%
2060		102.500	%
2061		102.000	%
2062		101.500	%
2063		101.000	%
2064		100.500	%
2065		100.000	%

and thereafter at 100.000% of the principal amount, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date).

In the case of a partial redemption, selection 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. No Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

(N)

The Company shall repay the Notes at the option of a holder of the Notes, in whole or in part, on the repayment dates and at the repayment prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) as set forth in the following table:


Repayment Date	Repayment Price
December 9, 2026		98.000	%
June 9, 2027		98.000	%
December 9, 2027		98.000	%
June 9, 2028		98.000	%
December 9, 2028		98.000	%

December 9, 2029		98.000	%
June 9, 2030		98.000	%
December 9, 2030		98.000	%
June 9, 2031		98.000	%
December 9, 2031		99.000	%
June 9, 2032		99.000	%
December 9, 2032		99.000	%
June 9, 2033		99.000	%
December 9, 2033		99.000	%
June 9, 2034		99.000	%
December 9, 2034		99.000	%
June 9, 2035		99.000	%
December 9, 2035		99.000	%
June 9, 2036		99.000	%
December 9, 2036		100.000	%

and on December 9 of every second year thereafter, through and including December 9, 2075, at 100.000% of the principal amount, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the repayment date.

In order for a Note to be repaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 calendar days before the optional repayment date:

(1)

for Notes in definitive form, the Paying Agent must receive (i) the Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Note duly completed or (ii) a facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States which must set forth:

•

the name of the holder of the Note;

•

the principal amount of the Note;

•

the principal amount of the Note to be repaid;

•

the certificate number, CUSIP number or a description of the tenor and terms of the Note;

•

a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised; and

•

a guaranty that the Note is to be repaid.

These items, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Note, must be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of that facsimile transmission or letter; and

(2)

for Notes in book-entry form, Notes may be tendered for optional repayment electronically in accordance with DTC’s processes and procedures.

The repayment option may be exercised by the holder of a Note for less than the entire principal amount of the Note but, in that event, the principal amount of the Note remaining outstanding after repayment must be in an authorized denomination. Exercise of the repayment by the holder of a Note shall be irrevocable.

(O)

If a Tax Event occurs, the Company will have the right to shorten the maturity of the Notes, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, to the minimum extent required, in the opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel, so that, after shortening the maturity, interest paid on the Notes will be deductible for United States federal income tax purposes or, if that counsel cannot opine definitively as to such a minimum period, the minimum extent so required to maintain the Company’s interest deduction to the extent deductible under current law as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, after receipt of an opinion of that counsel regarding the applicable legal standards. In that case, the amount payable on the Notes on that new maturity date will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus interest accrued thereon to but excluding that new maturity date. If the Company elects to exercise the right to shorten the maturity of the Notes when a Tax Event occurs, the Company will give notice to each holder of the Notes not more than 60 days after the occurrence of the Tax Event, stating the new maturity date of the Notes. This notice shall be effective immediately upon mailing or other delivery.

“Tax Event” means that the Company shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of:

•

any amendment to, clarification of, or change (including any announced prospective amendment, clarification or change) in any law, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States;

•

any judicial decision, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement;

•

including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an “administrative or judicial action”); or

•

any amendment to, clarification of, or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation,

in each case, occurring on or after December 4, 2025, there is more than an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest paid by the Company on the Notes is not, or will not be, deductible, in whole or in part, by the Company for United States federal income tax purposes.

For the avoidance of doubt, following the exercise by the Company of its right to shorten the maturity of the Notes when a Tax Event occurs, any references to “maturity date” herein shall refer to the new maturity date.

(P)

The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of Notes, create and issue further Notes ranking equally with the Notes in all respects. Such further Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and have the same terms as to status, redemption or repayment or otherwise as the Notes (other than the issue date of such further Notes and first payment of interest following the issue date of such further Notes); provided that if such additional Notes are not fungible with the then-outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

(Q)

Subject to the terms and applicable limitations set forth in the Indenture and the form of Notes, the Notes shall be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the terms set forth in Article XIV of the Indenture.

CHEVRON U.S.A. INC.

FLOATING RATE NOTE DUE 2075

UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), TO CHEVRON U.S.A. INC. OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE EVIDENCING THE NOTE 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 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, INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.

CHEVRON U.S.A. INC. (herein referred to as the “Company”), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [ ] Million ($[ ]) on December 9, 2075 in lawful money of the United States of America.

The Notes shall bear interest at a variable rate from December 9, 2025, payable on each March 9, June 9, September 9 and December 9, commencing March 9, 2026 (each an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will make the interest payment on the next succeeding Business Day unless that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case (other than in the case of the maturity date or any redemption or repayment date) the Company will make the interest payment on the immediately preceding Business Day. If an interest payment is made on the next succeeding Business Day, no interest will accrue as a result of the delay in payment. If the maturity date or any redemption or repayment date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment due on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement.

The interest rate for the Notes for a particular Interest Period (as defined below) will be a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) Compounded SOFR (as defined below) as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) by the calculation agent appointed by the Company, which initially will be the Trustee (the “Calculation Agent”), minus 0.450% and (ii) 0.000%.

A-1

An “Interest Period” is (i) the period from and including any Interest Payment Date (or, with respect to the initial Interest Period only, from and including December 9, 2025) to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, (ii) in the case of the last such period, the period from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the maturity date to but excluding the maturity date, or (iii) in the event of any redemption or repayment of the Notes, the period from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the applicable redemption or repayment date to but excluding such date (each an “Interest Period”). The initial Interest Period is December 9, 2025 through March 9, 2026. The interest determination date for an Interest Period will be the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days before each Interest Payment Date (or in the final Interest Period, before the maturity date) (the “Interest Determination Date”). The Interest Determination Date for the initial Interest Period will be March 5, 2026. Interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the Observation Period (as defined herein). If the maturity date or any redemption or repayment date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment due on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement.

The Company will have the right to redeem the Notes in whole or in part beginning on December 9, 2055 and at any time thereafter at the redemption prices listed in this Note, plus accrued interest on the Notes to the date the Company redeems the Notes. The holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes beginning on December 9, 2026, and on each June 9 and December 9 thereafter through and including December 9, 2036, and thereafter on each December 9 of every subsequent second year, through and including December 9, 2075, at the repayment prices listed in this Note, plus accrued interest on the Notes to the date the Company repurchases the Notes.

Subject to the Benchmark Transition Provisions (as defined below), “Compounded SOFR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following formula (and the resulting percentage will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point):

LOGO

where:

“SOFR Index_End” = The SOFR Index value on the Interest Determination Date relating to the applicable Interest Payment Date (or in the final Interest Period, relating to the maturity date or, in the case of a redemption or repayment of the Notes, relating to the applicable redemption or repayment date); and

“d_c” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period.

For purposes of determining Compounded SOFR:

“Interest Determination Date” means the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days before each Interest Payment Date (or in the final Interest Period, before the maturity date or, in the case of a redemption or repayment of the Notes, before the applicable redemption or repayment date).

A-2

“Observation Period” means, in respect of each Interest Period, the period from, and including, the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the first date in such Interest Period to, but excluding, the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the Interest Payment Date for such Interest Period (or, in the final Interest Period, preceding the maturity date or, in the case of a redemption or repayment of the Notes, relating to the applicable redemption or repayment date).

“SOFR Index” means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the SOFR Index value as published by the SOFR Administrator as such index appears on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such U.S. Government Securities Business Day (the “SOFR Index Determination Time”); provided that:

(2) if a SOFR Index value does not so appear as specified in (1) above at the SOFR Index Determination Time, then: (i) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, then Compounded SOFR shall be the rate determined pursuant to the “SOFR Index Unavailable Provisions” described below; or (ii) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to SOFR, then Compounded SOFR shall be the rate determined pursuant to the “Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event” provisions described below.

“SOFR” means the daily secured overnight financing rate as provided by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

“SOFR Administrator” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of SOFR).

“SOFR Administrator’s Website” means the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Notes, if the Company or its Designee determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time (as defined herein) that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to determining Compounded SOFR, then the benchmark replacement provisions set forth below in the “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” shall thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the Notes.

For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for each Interest Period on the Notes shall be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the margin specified above; provided, however, that the minimum interest rate on the Notes shall not be less than 0.000%.

A-3

If a SOFR Index_Startor SOFR Index_End is not published on the associated Interest Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR” means, for the applicable Interest Period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-reporeference-rates-information. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days” shall be removed. If SOFR does not so appear for any day “_i” in the Observation Period, SOFR_i for such day “_i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

If the Company or its Designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark (as defined herein) on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

The interest rate on the 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. Additionally, the interest rate on the Notes will in no event be lower than zero.

The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of the Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest Period. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate in accordance with the foregoing and shall notify the Trustee or Paying Agent of such interest rate. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and holders of the Notes and neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall have the duty to verify determination of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent.

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event

Benchmark Replacement. If the Company or its Designee determine that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its Designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time. No such change shall affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent under the Indenture or otherwise without their consent.

A-4

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision, election or calculation that may be made by the Company or its Designee pursuant to the benchmark replacement provisions described herein, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in the Company or its Designee’s sole discretion and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any documentation relating to the Notes, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the Notes or any other party. None of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent will have any liability for any determination made by or on behalf of the Company or its Designee in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, will be deemed to waive, release, and covenant not to assert any claims against the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent relating to any such determinations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility to determine whether any manifest error has occurred and may conclusively assume that no manifest error exists and shall suffer no liability in so assuming.

Certain Defined Terms. As used herein:

“Benchmark” means, initially, Compounded SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR (or the published SOFR Index used in the calculation thereof) or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company or its Designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

A-5

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor, excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

This Note is one of a series of Notes designated as its “Floating Rate Notes Due 2075” aggregating $154,204,000 in principal amount (herein called the “Notes”).

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the registered owner of this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which term is defined in the Indenture as any security or securities of the Company, authenticated and delivered under the Indenture) at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture) and affected by such supplemental indenture, to execute one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of such Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security (including the Notes) affected thereby: (1) change the Stated Maturity (as defined in the Indenture) of the principal of, or premium, if any, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security; (2) reduce the principal amount of any Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security (as defined in the Indenture) or any other Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity (as defined in the Indenture) thereof pursuant to Section 502, or reduce the rate of interest on any Security; (3) reduce any premium payable upon the redemption of or change the date on which any Security may or must be redeemed; (4) change the coin or currency in which the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security is payable; (5) impair the right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date (as defined in the Indenture)); (6) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Indenture; or (7) modify any of the provisions of Sections 9.2, 5.12 or 10.5 of the Indenture, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in Sections 9.2 and 10.5 of the Indenture, or the deletion of Section 9.2(7), in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.11 and 9.1(6) of the Indenture. It is also provided in the Indenture that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive (a) compliance by the Company with the covenants contained in Article X of the Indenture with respect to the Notes and (b) any past or existing Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences except a continuing default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the registered owner of the Note so affected.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

Any notice of redemption of the Notes to be redeemed at the Company’s or its Designee’s option may state that such redemption shall be conditional, in the Company’s or its Designee’s discretion, on one or more conditions precedent, and that the redemption date may (but shall not be required to) be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied, and that such conditional notice of redemption may be rescinded by the Company or its Designee if the Company or its Designee determines that any or all such conditions will not be satisfied by the redemption date, and that in such event, such redemption notice shall be of no further force or effect and the Company or its Designee shall not be required to redeem the Notes on the redemption date or otherwise.
