 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, such individual has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such individual to express an informed opinion as to
whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
  

 8 








 (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or
covenant has been complied with. 
 Section 1.03. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several
matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by
only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several
documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon
a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates,
statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 1.04. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act”
of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor
of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04. 
 (b) The fact and date of the
execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law

  

 9 








 
to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a
capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee reasonably deems sufficient. 
 (c) The Company may, in the
circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote
on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the
record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.01) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard
to any record date, only the Holders on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action. 
 (d) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 
 (e) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 Section 1.05. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (i) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at: The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A., 700 South Flower Street, Suite 500, Los Angeles, California 90017, Attention: Corporate Unit or 
 (ii) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the
address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: Treasurer. 
  

 10 








 Notice to the Trustee shall be effective only upon actual receipt by the Trustee. 
 Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest
date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or
after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable
to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 Whenever under this Indenture the Trustee is required to provide any notice by mail, in all cases the Trustee may alternatively provide
notice by overnight courier or by telefacsimile, with confirmation of transmission. 
 So long as the Notes are registered in
the name of the Depository Trust Company, any notices to be provided to the Holders may be provided by electronic means in accordance with the Depository Trust Company’s operational procedures. 
 The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile
transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions
or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. If the party elects to give the
Trustee e-mail (pdf) or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed
controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent
with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions

  

 11 








 
and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. 
 Section 1.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the
Trust Indenture Act that is required hereunder to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or
excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 Section 1.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof, and all Article and Section
references are to Articles and Sections, respectively, of this Indenture unless otherwise expressly stated. 
 Section 1.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 1.10. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 1.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors
hereunder and the Holders of Notes, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 Section 1.12. Governing Law. This Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 Section 1.13. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 ARTICLE 2 
 THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01. Title and
Terms. The aggregate Principal Amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $5,000,000,000 (consisting of $500,000,000 aggregate Principal Amount of 2014 Notes, $2,500,000,000 aggregate
Principal Amount of 2020 Notes and $2,000,000,000 aggregate Principal Amount of 2040 Notes), except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.06,
2.07, 2.08, 5.06 and 10.06. The Notes may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders thereof, for increases in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and issuance of additional Notes; provided that such additional Notes must be part of the
same issue, and fungible with, the initially issued Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with, and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the
Notes then outstanding, except for issue date, issue price and, if applicable, first interest payment date. No additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

 The 2014 Notes shall be designated as “2.90% Senior Notes due 2014”, the 2020 Notes shall be designated as
“4.45% Senior Notes due 2020” and the 2040 Notes shall be designated as “5.50% Senior Notes due 2040.” The 2014 Notes, the 2020 Notes and the 2040 Notes shall each represent a separate series of Notes. 
 The Notes of each series shall rank equally and pari passu with the Notes of each other series and with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt of the Company. 
 The Principal Amount and accrued interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or
agency of the Company in The City of New York maintained for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided that, except in the case of a Global Note, the Company will pay interest
(i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Holder with an aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of any
series in excess of $2.0 million, to the place and account designated in writing at least 15 days prior to the interest payment date by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Note Register. 
 If the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will
be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be. If an interest payment date for the 2014 Notes, the 2020 Notes or the
2040 Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment shall be

  

 13 








 
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. Interest on the Notes will be paid to but
excluding the relevant interest payment date. 
 The Notes shall not have the benefit of a sinking fund. 
 Section 2.02. Forms of Notes. The 2014 Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the 2020
Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and the 2040 Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange
or Depositary therefor, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the forms of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C shall
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

 The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of permanent Global Notes in registered form. The aggregate Principal Amount
of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided. 
 Section 2.03. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned
Indenture. 
  

							
	Dated:                     	 		 	THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON
		 		 	TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Trustee
				
		 		 	By	 	  

		 		 		 	Authorized Signatory

 Section 2.04. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in
registered form without coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 Section 2.05. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its

  

 14 








 
Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its President, its Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents. 
 Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order
for the authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as a Global Note or as Physical Notes. The Trustee in
accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. 
 Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 2.06. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
 If temporary Notes are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office
or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like Principal Amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes. 
  

 15 








 Section 2.07. Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Company shall
cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 3.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the
“Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar”
(the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. 
 Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 3.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor. 
 At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.07 and Sections 2.10 and 2.11, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a
like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes
which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06 not involving any transfer. 
 If the Company elects to redeem a series of Notes, it shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note
of such series during the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day the Company mails the notice of redemption for such series of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day such notice of redemption is mailed or
(ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Note of such series after a notice of redemption has been

  

 16 








 
given to Holders except, where such notice provides that such Note is to be redeemed only in part, the Company shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the portion thereof not to
be redeemed. 
 Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with
respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation relating to any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder. 
 As used in this Section, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Note.

 Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable or has been
called for redemption in full, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.08, the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Note duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section
are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
  

 17 








 Section 2.09. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such is registered as the owner of such for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of such Note and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 2.10. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the
name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary and (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary, Euroclear or Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as
its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its
Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder. 
 (b) Transfers of the
Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Physical
Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.11. In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Notes if
(A) such Depositary has notified the Company (or the Company becomes aware) that the Depositary (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and, in either such case, no successor Depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification or of the Company becoming aware of such
event; or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note and the Outstanding Notes shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 and the Trustee requests that Physical
Notes be issued. 
 Investors may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they
are Agent Members in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are Agent Members in such systems. If interests in the Global Notes are held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear

  

 18 








 
and Clearstream shall hold such interests in the Global Notes through the Depositary on behalf of their Agent Members. 
 (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b) above, the Note Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the Principal Amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the
beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount. 
 (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Global Note
shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the
Global Note, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations and the same tenor. 
 (e) The
Holder of the Global Notes may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the
Notes. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation and Transfer Provisions. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has
not issued and sold. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption or cancellation in accordance with its customary practices. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes,
such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has
paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12. Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures
Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions” and “Customer Handbook” of
Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in any Global Note held by Agent Members through Euroclear and Clearstream. 
 Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use

  

 19 








 
“CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either
as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 COVENANTS 
 Section 3.01. Payments. The Company shall duly and punctually make all payments in respect of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. 
 Any payments made or due pursuant to this Indenture shall be considered paid on the applicable date due if by 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on such date the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, cash sufficient to pay all such amounts then due. Payment of the principal and interest on the Notes shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office
or Agency. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, which shall initially be a corporate trust office of the Trustee, located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, Attention:
Corporate Trust Administration. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or
agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to
receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. All notices to the Trustee shall be delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in Los Angeles, California. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York) where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of
its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of

  

 20 








 
Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency. 
 Section 3.03. Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any
time act as its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any payment in respect of any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to make the payment so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of any payment in respect of any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum
to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying
Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent
as such. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for
any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held
by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the making of payments in respect of any
Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be

  

 21 








 
published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. In the absence of a written request from
the Company to return funds remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due to the Company, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed payments to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by
the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any such unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be held uninvested and without any liability for
interest.

signers thereof any Default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) occurred during the previous fiscal
year, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 3.05. Existence. Subject to Article 4, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

“furnished” to the Trustee for purposes of this Section 3.06. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on
Officers’ Certificates).

 (v) the Company applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the Principal Property to the
purchase of another Principal Property or to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such sale and lease-back transaction; provided that in lieu of applying such amount to such
retirement, the Company may deliver debt securities to the Trustee for cancellation, such debt securities to be credited at the cost thereof to the Company.

 Section 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in
6.01(d) and 6.01(e)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes may declare the Principal Amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the applicable series of outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(d) or 6.01(e), the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of outstanding Notes will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder. 
 (b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) such rescission and annulment will not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default,
other than the non-payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.12.

 Section 6.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if a
default is made in the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest at the Stated Maturity or in the payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Note, the Company will, upon

  

 31

amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest on the applicable series of Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the applicable series of Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the
Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding.

or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder
thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

such money to Holders, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07; and 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the applicable series of Notes for the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid

  

 32 








 
interest or the Redemption Price in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due
and payable on such Notes. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (other than in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or
6.01(b)), unless: 
 (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of
Default;

outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest or the Redemption Price in respect of the applicable series of
Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes or any Redemption Date, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected adversely
without the consent of such Holder.

 Section 6.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder
has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.11. Control by Holders. Subject to Section 7.03(e), the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to such series of Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by the Holders of such series of Notes; provided
that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the trustee in personal

 34 








 (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10

of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 6.13 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Principal Amount
of the applicable series of outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity of such Note or the Redemption Price. 
 Section 6.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will
not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein. 
 Section 7.04. Not
Responsible for Recitals. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 7.05. May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Section 7.08 and 7.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or

 38 








 Section 7.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 
 (i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the Company and
the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (iii) to indemnify the Trustee
(which for purposes of this Section 7.07(iii) shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents) and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based
upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether assessed by the Company, by any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder

discharge of this Indenture. To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay

foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances
beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which
delays, restricts or prohibits the providing of services contemplated by this Indenture. 
 Section 7.08.
Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner
provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
 Section 7.09. Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has, or whose parent banking company has, a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09, the combined
capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.

Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 7.11.

Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Trustee for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of majority in Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the notice of removal,

  

 40 








 
the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes. 
 (d) If at any time: 
 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall
be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or 
 (iv) a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Company Order may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 6.13, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of the applicable series of
Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause, the Company, by a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders
of a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders

  

 41 








 
in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article 7. 
 Section 7.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to
such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. 
 Section 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). It is expressly understood that materials transmitted electronically by the Company to the Trustee shall be deemed filed with the

 Cisco Systems, Inc. 
 2.90% Senior Notes due 2014

 Interest 
 The Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 17, 2009, to but excluding the next interest payment date. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each interest payment date, commencing May 17, 2010, to the person in
whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 If an interest payment for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. 
 Redemption of Notes at the Option of the Company 
 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option
of the Company, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the Principal Amount to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on such Notes
discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points (the “Redemption Price”) upon
delivery of the Notes to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture. The Redemption Price will be paid in cash. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after
the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata or by lot or by any other method the
Trustee considers fair and appropriate. 
 Paying Agent 
 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Company may change
any paying agent without notice to the Holders. 
 Indenture; Defined Terms 
 This Note is one of the 2.90% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 17,
2009, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Indenture”).

 Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the
Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Trust Indenture Act”), as in effect
on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of
the Indenture shall govern. 
 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 
 The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder
shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture.

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or
supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal Amount of all series of Outstanding Notes (including
the Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other
things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
Holder of a Note. 
 Defaults and Remedies 
 If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Company) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at
the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Company to repay immediately the entire Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the entire Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it
reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF 2040 NOTE] 
 Cisco Systems, Inc. 
 5.50% Senior Notes due 2040

 Interest 
 The Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 17, 2009, to but excluding the next interest payment date. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each interest payment date, commencing January 15, 2010, to the
person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 If an interest payment for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. 
 Redemption of Notes at the Option of the Company 
 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option
of the Company, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the Principal Amount to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on such Notes
discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points (the “Redemption Price”) upon
delivery of the Notes to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture. The Redemption Price will be paid in cash. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after
the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata or by lot or by any other method the
Trustee considers fair and appropriate. 
 Paying Agent 
 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Company may change
any paying agent without notice to the Holders.

 Indenture; Defined Terms 
 This Note is one of the 5.50% Senior Notes due 2040 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 17,
2009, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Indenture”). 
 Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the
“Trust Indenture Act”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the
Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. 
 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

 The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. 
 Amendment;
Supplement; Waiver 
 Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may
be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal Amount of all series of Outstanding
Notes (including the Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes
to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the
rights of any Holder of a Note. 
 Defaults and Remedies 
 If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Company) under the Indenture occurs with respect
to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Company to repay immediately the entire Principal Amount of
the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the entire Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due
immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as

  

 C-5 








 
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain
limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing
defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
 Authentication

 This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 
 Abbreviations and Defined Terms 
 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right
of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 
 CUSIP
Numbers 
 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the
Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed hereon.
