(a) The Treasury Rate applicable to a series of Notes shall be determined by the Company 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 such 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 Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the 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 clause (a), 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 such Redemption Date.

(b) If on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the applicable Treasury Rate 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 Company 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 Company 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 clause (b), 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 provided in the Preamble.

The Notes may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount. The Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 2030 Notes, $2,250,000,000 2036 Notes and $1,750,000,000 2038 Notes. The amount shall be set forth in the written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture. The Notes are unsecured and shall rank equally with the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

Section 2.02 Maturity. Unless an earlier redemption has occurred, the principal amount of the Notes shall mature and be due and payable on October 15, 2030 (in the case of the 2030 Notes), February 15, 2036 (in the case of the 2036 Notes) and February 15, 2038 (in the case of the 2038 Notes). Such maturity dates for the applicable series of Notes are the “Stated Maturity” for such series of Notes.

Section 2.03 Form and Payment.

(a) The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes in fully registered, book-entry form, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The Notes (other than, with respect to any Additional Notes, changes relating to the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or the first Interest Payment Date of such Additional Notes) and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication to be endorsed thereon are to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which form is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

(c) The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, on the Global Notes shall be made to the Depositary.

(d) Each Global Note shall represent such of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Notes” attached thereto and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased to reflect redemptions, repurchases, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of the Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with the Indenture.

Section 2.04 Depositary.

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Custodian may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.05 below and (i) the Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note, (B) defaults in the performance of its duties as Depositary, or (C) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as depositary, in each case, unless the Company has approved a successor Depositary within 90 days after receipt of such notice or after it has become aware of such default or cessation or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines, subject to the procedures of the Depositary, that such Global Note will be so exchangeable or transferable.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

(c) At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be appropriately reduced or increased, and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction or increase.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Security Registrar with a written request:

(i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

-5-


(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar, together with:

(i) a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A to this Fifth Supplemental Indenture for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If the applicable Global Note is not then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Security Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or another Global Note, and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

 

-6-


(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is 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 2.06 Interest.

The Company shall pay interest on the 2030 Notes in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, with the first payment on April 15, 2026, to the Persons in whose names such 2030 Notes are registered at the close of business on April 1 and October 1, as the case may be (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay interest on the 2036 Notes in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the first payment on February 15, 2026, to the Persons in whose names such 2036 Notes are registered at the close of business on February 1 and August 1, as the case may be (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay interest on the 2038 Notes in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the first payment on February 15, 2026, to the Persons in whose names such 2038 Notes are registered at the close of business on February 1 and August 1, as the case may be (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. Such interest payment dates and record dates for the applicable series of Notes are the “Interest Payment Dates” and “Regular Record Dates,” respectively, for such series of Notes.

In each case, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the Notes or any Redemption Date of the Notes shall be payable to the Person to whom the principal of such Notes shall be payable. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall make payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, through the Trustee to the Depositary.

Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the applicable series of Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, but no additional interest will accrue as a result of the delay in payment. If the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next succeeding Business Day.

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.
