 b)
the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or 
 c) the sum of: (a) the alternate
rate of interest that has been selected by the Company or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the

Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or

 ARTICLE III 

THE NOTES 
 Section 3.01
Amount; Series; Terms. 
 (a) There are hereby created and designated three series of Securities under the Base Indenture: the title
of the Floating Rate Notes shall be “Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2024”, the title of the 2024 Fixed Rate Notes shall be “0.750% Senior Notes Due 2024” and the title of the 2028 Fixed Rate Notes shall be “2.000% Senior
Notes Due 2028”. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes of the applicable series and shall not apply
to any other series of Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other series of Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. 

(b) The aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture
shall be limited to $1,250,000,000, the aggregate principal amount of 2024 Fixed Rate Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $1,500,000,000, and the aggregate principal amount of
2028 Fixed Rate Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $1,250,000,000, each subject to increase as set forth in Section 3.06 of this Supplemental Indenture. 

(c) The Stated Maturity of the Floating Rate Notes shall be March 18, 2024, the Stated Maturity of the 2024 Fixed Rate Notes shall be
March 18, 2024 and the Stated Maturity of the 2028 Fixed Rate Notes shall be March 20, 2028. The Notes shall be payable and may be presented for payment, redemption, registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge, at the
Corporate Trust Office. 
 (d) The Floating Rate Notes shall bear interest for each Floating Rate Interest Period at a rate per annum equal
to Compounded SOFR on the Interest Payment Determination Date for that Floating Rate Interest Period plus 0.500%, all as determined by the Calculation Agent, as further provided in this Supplemental Indenture. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes
will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Floating Rate Interest Period and a 360-day year. The 2024 Fixed Rate Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 0.750% per annum from and including March 18, 2021, or from
and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as further provided in the form of 2024 Fixed Rate Notes annexed hereto as Exhibit B. The 2028 Fixed Rate Notes shall bear interest at the rate of
2.000% per annum from and including March 18, 2021, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as further provided in the form of 2028 Fixed Rate Notes annexed hereto as Exhibit C.
Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. For the Floating Rate Notes, the dates on which such interest shall be payable (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment
Date”) shall be March 18, June 18, September 18 and December 18 of each year, commencing on June 18, 2021, 

  
 9 













 
and the “Floating Rate Regular Record Date” for any interest payable on each such Floating Rate Interest Payment date shall be the close of business on the immediately
preceding March 3, June 3, September 3 and December 3, respectively, whether or not a Business Day. For the 2024 Fixed Rate Notes, the dates on which such interest shall be payable (each, a “2024 Interest
Payment Date”) shall be March 18 and September 18 of each year, commencing on September 18, 2021, and the “2024 Regular Record Date” for any interest payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be the
close of business on the immediately preceding March 3 and September 3, respectively, whether or not a Business Day. For the 2028 Fixed Rate Notes, the dates on which such interest shall be payable (each, a “2028 Interest Payment
Date” and together with the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and the 2024 Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”) shall be March 20 and September 20 of each year, commencing on September 20,
2021, and the “2028 Regular Record Date” for any interest payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on the immediately preceding March 5 and September 5, respectively, whether or not a
Business Day. Interest will be payable to the Holder of record on the applicable Regular Record Date, provided, however, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of any series of the Notes will be paid to the person to whom the principal will be
payable. 
 (e) If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the applicable series of Notes is not a
Business Day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or
Stated Maturity and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay. 
 (f) Each series of Notes will be issued in the form of one
or more Global Securities, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 3.02 of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or its
nominee. 
 (g) Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders. 

(i) With respect to the Floating Rate Notes and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplemental Indenture or the Floating Rate
Notes, if the Company or its designee determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to determining Compounded SOFR, then
Section 3.05 of this Supplemental Indenture will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the Floating Rate Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the applicable margin. 

(h) Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and any
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 10 













 Section 3.02 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer or its Treasurer, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on
the Notes may be manual, facsimile or electronic signature (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law,
e.g., www.docusign.com) and shall not be required to be under the Company’s corporate seal. 
 Notes bearing the manual, facsimile or
electronic 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. 
 Pursuant to a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for
original issue Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in the Company Order. The Trustee shall be provided with an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company that it may reasonably request in connection with such
authentication of Notes. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. 

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 in the Base Indenture executed by the Trustee by manual, facsimile or electronic signature (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000,
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com), 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 3.03 Calculation Agent. 

(a) Initially, the Trustee will act as Calculation Agent, in accordance with the provisions of that certain Calculation Agency Agreement,
dated the date hereof (the “Calculation Agency Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in acting under the Calculation Agency Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall have the benefit of the rights, protections and immunities granted
to it hereunder. The Company may appoint a successor calculation agent at its discretion. So long as Compounded SOFR is required to be determined with respect to the Floating Rate Notes, there shall at all times be a Calculation Agent. In the event
that any then acting Calculation Agent shall be unable or unwilling to act, or that such Calculation Agent shall fail duly to establish Compounded SOFR for any Floating Rate Interest Period, or the Company proposes to remove such Calculation Agent,
the Company shall appoint another Calculation Agent. 

  
 11 













 (b) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be under any
obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR or the SOFR Index, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition
Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been
satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary
or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, adjustments as to any alternative spread thereon, the Business Day convention, Interest Payment Determination Dates or any other relevant methodology
applicable to such substitute or successor Benchmark. In connection with the foregoing, each of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determinations made by the Company or its designee
without independent investigation, and none will have any liability for actions taken at the Company’s direction in connection therewith. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure
or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Supplemental Indenture as a result of the unavailability of SOFR, the SOFR Index or other applicable Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any failure, inability, delay,
error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Supplemental Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such
duties. None of the Trustee, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent shall be responsible or liable for the Company’s actions or omissions or for those of any designee, nor shall any of the Trustee, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent be under any
obligation to oversee or monitor the Company’s performance or that of the designee. 
 (c) The Company will give the Trustee and the
Calculation Agent written notice of the person appointed as its designee. 
 (d) All determinations made by the Calculation Agent shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and Holders of the Floating Rate Notes. 

Section 3.04 SOFR Unavailable. 

If a SOFR IndexStart or SOFR
IndexEnd is not published on the associated Interest Payment Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to
SOFR, “Compounded SOFR” means, for the applicable interest period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and
definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-repo-reference-rates-information. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages
compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days” shall be removed. If SOFR does not


  
 12 













 
so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the
first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website. 

Section 3.05 Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event. 

(a) If the Company or its designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior
to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Floating Rate Notes in respect of such determination on such date
and all determinations on all subsequent dates. 
 (b) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its
designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time. 
 (c) Any determination, decision or
election that may be made by the Company or its designee pursuant to the benchmark replacement provisions set forth in this Section 3.05, including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or
non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection: 

(i) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; 

(ii) if made by the Company, will be made in its sole discretion; 

(iii) if made by the Company’s designee, will be made after consultation with the Company, and such designee will not make
any such determination, decision or election to which the Company objects; and 
 (iv) notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Supplemental Indenture or the Floating Rate Notes shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes or any other party. 

(d) Any determination, decision or election pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be made by the Company or its designee (which may be the
Company’s Affiliate) on the basis as provided above, and in no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible for making any such determination, decision or election. 

Section 3.06 Additional Notes. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of
this Indenture, without notice to or consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture additional Notes of any series (“Additional Notes”) having terms and conditions set forth in this Supplemental
Indenture, identical to the Notes of one of the three series issued on the date hereof, except that Additional Notes may: 

(i) have a different issue date than other Outstanding Notes of such series; 

  
 13 













 (ii) have a different issue price than other Outstanding Notes of such
series; 
 (iii) have a different initial Interest Payment Date than other Outstanding Notes of such series; and 

(iv) have a different amount of interest that has accrued prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes than has accrued on
other Outstanding Notes of such series; 
 provided, no Additional Notes shall be issued unless such Additional Notes will be fungible for U.S. federal
income tax and securities law purposes with Notes of one of the three series issued on the date hereof; and provided further, the Additional Notes have the same CUSIP number as the Notes of one of the three series issued on the date hereof. No
Additional Notes may be issued if on the issue date therefor, any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 The Notes of any
series issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes of the same series shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including waivers, amendments and United States federal tax purposes. 

With respect to any issuance of Additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors or, if
applicable, a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Company and an Officers’ Certificate in respect of such Additional
Notes, which shall together provide the following information: 
 (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes
to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and

 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION 

Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2024 
  

	 	1.	 Interest. 



The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per
annum, reset quarterly, equal to Compounded SOFR plus 0.500%, all as determined by the Calculation Agent as provided for in the Indenture (as defined below). Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on
March 18, June 18, September 18 and December 18 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June 18, 2021, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. The
interest rate for each Interest Period will be calculated by the Calculation Agent on the applicable Interest Payment Determination Date using Compounded SOFR with respect to the applicable Observation Period relating to the Interest Period. The
Calculation Agent will then add the spread of 0.50% per annum to Compounded SOFR as determined on the Interest Payment Determination Date. Absent manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s determination of the interest rate for an Interest
Period for the Notes will be binding and conclusive on the Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent, and the Issuer. 
 The initial Interest
Period is March 18, 2021 through June 18, 2021. 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 and including March 18, 2021. Interest on this
Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. Interest will be payable to the holder of record on the Regular Record
Date, provided, however, interest payable on the Stated Maturity will be paid to the person to whom the principal will be payable. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Interest Period and a 360-day year. If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will
be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Base
Indenture (defined below) at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful. 
  

	 	2.	 Paying Agent; Calculation Agent. 



Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent (the “Paying
Agent”). The Issuer may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders. Initially, the Trustee will act as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer may appoint a successor calculation agent at its
discretion. 

  
 5 














	 	3.	 Indenture; Defined Terms. 



This Note is one of the Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of
June 5, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 18,
2021, the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Global Security” and the Notes are “Global Securities” under the Indenture. 

For purposes of this Note, 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 “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was
qualified under the TIA. 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 TIA 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. 
  

	 	4.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 



The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register the
transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable
in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a
notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

 

	 	5.	 Amendment; Modification; Waiver. 



The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series
at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive, with
certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding
affected thereby (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note. 

  
 6 














	 	6.	 Optional Redemption. 



Beginning on or after February 18, 2024, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from time to
time prior to maturity on at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice electronically delivered or mailed to each registered Holder of the Notes (the “Redemption Date”). 

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after February 18, 2024, the Redemption Price (calculated by the Company) will be equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date for such Notes. 

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption,
unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price
of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the
Depositary; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part. 
 Notice of any
redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be
notified in writing of such request at least 5 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to
which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated
as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the
Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

 

	 	7.	 Defaults and Remedies. 



If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of the affected series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to 

  
 7 













 
the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) of and the accrued interest on all the Securities of such affected series shall become
immediately due and payable. 
 The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series (voting together as a single class) at the time Outstanding, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  

	 	8.	 Authentication. 



This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually, electronically or by facsimile signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

  

	 	9.	 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). 
  


	 	10.	 CUSIP Numbers. 



Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer 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. 

 

	 	11.	 Governing Law.

 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION 

0.750% Senior Notes due 2024 
  

	 	1.	 Interest. 



The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Issuer”) 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 and including March 18, 2021. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding
the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. Interest will be payable to the Holder of record on the Regular Record Date, provided, however, interest
payable on the Stated Maturity will be paid to the person to whom the principal will be payable. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing September 18, 2021. If any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as
if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Base
Indenture (defined below) at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful. 
  

	 	2.	 Paying Agent. 



Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent (the “Paying
Agent”). The Issuer may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders. 
  

	 	3.	 Indenture; Defined Terms. 



This Note is one of the 0.750% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of June 5,
2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 18, 2021, the
“Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Global Security” and the Notes are “Global Securities” under the Indenture. 

For purposes of this Note, 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 “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was
qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the 

  
 14 













 
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA 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. 
  

	 	4.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 



The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register the
transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable
in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a
notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

 

	 	5.	 Amendment; Modification; Waiver. 



The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series
at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive, with
certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding
affected thereby (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note. 
  

	 	6.	 Optional Redemption. 



Beginning on or after September 18, 2021, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from
time to time prior to maturity on at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice electronically delivered or mailed to each registered Holder of the Notes (the “Redemption Date”).  

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after September 18, 2021 and before February 18, 2024, the Redemption Price will be
equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the 

  
 15 













 
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal
thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the
Treasury Rate plus 7 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to a corresponding Interest
Payment Date, such accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the Redemption Date to the holder of record on the Regular Record Date. 
 If
any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after February 18, 2024, the Redemption Price (calculated by the Company) will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not
including, the Redemption Date for such Notes. 
 On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes
or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying
Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be
selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part. 

Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to
each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 5 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If
the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than
two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 
  

	 	7.	 Defaults and Remedies. 



If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of the affected series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to 

  
 16 













 
the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) of and the accrued interest on all the Securities of such affected series shall become
immediately due and payable. 
 The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series (voting together as a single class) at the time Outstanding, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  

	 	8.	 Authentication. 



This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually, electronically or by facsimile signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

  

	 	9.	 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). 
  


	 	10.	 CUSIP Numbers. 



Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer 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. 

 

	 	11.	 Governing Law. 



This Note and the Indenture shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.
