such additional senior notes and the first Interest Payment Date) (“Additional Senior Notes”); provided, however, that if such Additional Senior Notes are not fungible with the Senior Notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, such Additional Senior Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Such Additional Senior Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with, and will have the same terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise as,
the Senior Notes, and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Senior Notes. 
 Section 2.03 Principal

February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”). 

(c) If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment due on such date
will be made on the next Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Redemption Date. 

(d) Interest on the Senior Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve

(b) The Senior Notes designated herein shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global notes (the “Global
Notes”), which shall be held by the Trustee as Notes Custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depository’s nominee, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as

 -6- 













 (ii) Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent
Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the Notes Custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such 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 Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such
Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 
 (d) Except as provided in
Section 2.11 or 2.12, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Notes. 

(e) The terms and provisions contained in the Senior Notes shall constitute, and are expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and,
to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and agree to be bound thereby. If there is any conflict between the terms of the
Senior Notes and this Supplemental Indenture, the terms of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern. 
 (f) The Senior Notes may be presented
for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Securities Registrar. 
 Section 2.11 Special Transfer
Provisions.

 (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
Securities 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: 

(A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and 
 (B) are accompanied by the
following additional information and documents, as applicable: (x) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Securities Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such
Holder to that effect; or (y) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect. 

  
 -7- 













 (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 reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, together with written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes 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 Senior Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such
increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate
principal amount of Senior 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 no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities
pursuant to Section 2.12, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company order, a new 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 Depository, in
accordance with this Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver a written
order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository 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.

 (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 Securities 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 Securities 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 Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in
Section 2.12), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any
such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. 

  
 -8- 













 (d) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depository 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 reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the
Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 
 (e) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate,
Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Securities Registrar’s request. 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 9.6 or 11.6 of the Base Indenture). 

(f) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Senior Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Securities
Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Senior Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Senior Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Senior Note and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Senior Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Securities Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(g) All Senior Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture shall evidence the same debt and
shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Senior Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (h) No
Obligation of the Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a
Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the
Senior Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with
respect to such Senior Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Senior Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee
in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in
relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 

  
 -9- 













 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Senior Note (including any transfers between or among Depository
participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this
Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

Section 2.12 Definitive Notes. 

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as Notes Custodian for the Depository pursuant to Section 2.10
hereof shall 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 2.11 hereof and if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Senior Notes or at any time ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange
Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that this Global Security shall be so exchangeable or transferable or (iii) there shall
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes and the Depository notifies the Trustee of its decision to exchange any Global Securities of the Senior Notes for Securities registered in the names of Persons
other than the Depository. 
 (b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section shall be
surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of 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 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations
of $2,000 principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(b) hereof, the registered Holder of a Global Note shall be entitled to 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 the Indenture or the Senior Notes. 

  
 -10- 













 (d) In the event of the occurrence of one of the events specified in
Section 2.12(a) hereof, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons. In the event that the Definitive Notes are not issued
to each such beneficial owner promptly after the Securities Registrar has received a request from the Holder of a Global Note to issue such Definitive Note, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a
remedy pursuant to Article V of the Base Indenture (as modified herein), the right of any beneficial Holder of Senior Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial Holder’s
Senior Notes as if such Definitive Notes had been issued. 
 (e) The Securities Registrar shall retain for a period of two years copies of
all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.10 or this Section 2.12. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written
communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Securities Registrar. 
 Section 2.13 Change of
Control Offer. 
 (a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the
Senior Notes on or prior to the date that is 30 days following such Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of such Holder’s Senior Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date
of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”); provided that after giving
effect to the repurchase, any notes that remain outstanding shall have a denomination of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but
after any public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Senior Notes, the Company will mail with a copy to the Trustee or cause the
Trustee to mail a notice by first-class mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository) to each Holder, stating: 

(i) that such Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred (or, in the case of a notice provided prior to a Change of
Control but after a public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute a Change of Control, that such Change of Control Repurchase Event is expected to occur) and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to
repurchase such Holder’s Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); 
 (ii)
the date of repurchase (which shall be no earlier than 15 days nor (except to the extent that such notice is conditioned on the occurrence of the Change of Control Repurchase Event) later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer is
mailed, other than as may be required by law), which date, in a notice conditioned on the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, may be designated by reference to the date that such condition is satisfied, rather than a specific date (the
“Change of Control Payment Date”); 

  
 -11- 













 (iii) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with the
Indenture, that a holder must follow in order to have its notes repurchased; and 
 the notice will, if mailed or otherwise delivered prior to the date of
consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring. 

(c) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer. 
 (d) The Company will not be required to make the Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party
makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and repurchases all Senior Notes validly tendered
and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer. 
 (e) In connection with any Change of Control Offer for the Senior Notes, if Holders
of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Senior Notes in such tender offer and the Company, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Company as
described above, purchases all such Senior Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 15 but not more than 60 days’ notice mailed, or delivered
electronically if such notes are held by DTC, by the Company to each holder of such Senior Notes (provided, that such notice is given not more than 30 days following the repurchase date pursuant to such Change of Control Offer), to redeem all the

(h) For the purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“Change of Control” means: 

(i) the consummation of any transaction (including any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any
“person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Company’s Voting Stock;  

(ii) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or
into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the outstanding Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property,

immediately after giving effect to such transaction; 
 (iii) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as such term is

 (iv) the
adoption by the Company’s stockholders of a plan or proposal for the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. 
 Notwithstanding the

holders of the Voting Stock of such Person are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (2) no “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than a majority of the Voting Stock of such Person.

announced consideration for a possible downgrade by either Rating Agency as a result of such Change of Control); provided that a Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred
in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which
this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control

after the remaining term of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity, computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Redemption Date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its

Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) is or becomes secured by a Lien on any of the Company’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Principal Properties or on any stock or indebtedness for borrowed money of any of the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, without effectively providing that the Senior Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness or obligations of the Company or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries ranking equally with the Senior Notes and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such indebtedness for borrowed money or guarantee (as applicable) until such time as such
indebtedness or guarantee (as applicable) is no longer secured by such Lien, except for any such indebtedness or guarantee to the extent secured by: 

(i) Liens existing as of the issue date of the Senior Notes or that the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries have
agreed to pursuant to the terms of agreements existing as of the issue date of the Senior Notes; 
 (ii) Liens granted after
the issue date of the Senior Notes, created in favor of the Holders of the Senior Notes;

(i), (ii) or (iv) of this Section or paragraphs (1), (3), (4) or (5) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” in each case so long as (A) such Liens are limited to all or part of substantially the same property which secured
the Liens extended, renewed or replaced plus improvements on such property, and (B) the amount of such indebtedness secured is not increased (other than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties)
incurred in connection with any extension, renewal or refinancing); 
 (iv) Liens created in substitution of any Liens
permitted by clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section or paragraphs (1), (3), (4) or (5) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” provided that, (A) based on a good faith determination of a senior officer of the Company, the
assets encumbered by such substitute or replacement Lien are substantially similar in nature to the assets encumbered by the otherwise permitted Lien that is being replaced and (B) the amount of such indebtedness secured is not increased (other
than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties) incurred in connection with any extension, renewal or refinancing); and 

(v) Permitted Liens. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur, issue, permit to exist, assume or guarantee
any indebtedness for borrowed money without securing the Senior Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) such indebtedness or guarantee if, at the time of such incurrence, issuance, permission to exist, assumption or guarantee, after giving
effect thereto and to the retirement of any indebtedness that is being retired substantially concurrently, the aggregate amount of all such outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money or guarantees thereof secured by Liens upon any Principal
Properties or stock or indebtedness for borrowed money of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Liens described in clauses (i) through (v) above, does not at such time exceed 10% of Consolidated Total Assets.

(TITLE OF SECURITY) 
 No. $ 

GLOBAL PAYMENTS INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Georgia (hereinafter called the “Company”, which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [•], or registered assigns, the principal sum of [•] Dollars, or such other principal amount as may be set
forth in the records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture, on March 1, 2026 (the “Stated Maturity”). The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from
February 26, 2021, or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) on which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of
each year, commencing September 1, 2021, at the rate of 1.200% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Security is not a
Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on
the date the payment was originally payable. A “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required to be closed in the State of New York. The interest
installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close

not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided
in said Indenture. 
 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency
of the Company maintained for that purpose in the United States of America, 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. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company from time to time.

Dealer” means each of (i) each of BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if either of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in

 “Remaining Scheduled
Payments” means, with respect to this Security, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal hereof and interest hereon that would be due after the related date of redemption hereof but for the redemption to the Par Call Date;

the preceding Interest Payment Date to that Redemption Date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(1) the arithmetic average of the yields in each statistical release for the immediately preceding week designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and
which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—nominal,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable
Treasury Issue (or if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of this Security, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury
Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not
contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity, computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Redemption Date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date. 

  
 Annex I-6 













 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of

Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon
the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and
Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 As

declared due in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture,
the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made a written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount
