*Notes Offering* 

On May 15, 2026, PayPal Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") issued and sold $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, consisting of $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.550% notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), $850,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.950% notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes") and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.550% notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes" and, together with the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes, the "Notes").

The Notes are being issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the "Base Indenture"), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, together with the officer's certificate, dated May 15, 2026 (the "Officer's Certificate" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), issued pursuant to the Indenture establishing the terms of each series of Notes.

The Notes are being issued pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2025 (Registration Statement No. 333-284693) (the "Registration Statement").

The 2028 Notes will mature on June 1, 2028, the 2031 Notes will mature on June 1, 2031 and the 2036 Notes will mature on June 1, 2036, unless, in each case, earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2026.

The Company may redeem the 2028 Notes, the 2031 Notes and the 2036 Notes, respectively, for cash in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, prior to maturity, at redemption prices that include accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and a make-whole premium. However, no make-whole premium will be paid for redemptions of the 2031 Notes on or after May 1, 2031 or for redemptions of the 2036 Notes on or after March 1, 2036. The Indenture includes covenants (1) limiting the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to create liens on certain properties and capital stock and indebtedness of these restricted subsidiaries and enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to certain properties and (2) limiting the Company's ability to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets, in each case subject to a number of important exceptions as specified in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains customary event of default provisions. In the event of the occurrence of both (1) a change of control of the Company and (2) a downgrade of a series of Notes below an investment grade rating by each of Fitch Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. within a specified period, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase any outstanding Notes of that series at a price in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding principal amount of such series of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. The Notes are the Company's unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries and will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

The above description of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Officer's Certificate (including the forms of Notes included therein), attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5, and incorporated herein by reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The statements made in this certificate are based upon an examination of the Notes to be governed by the Indenture, upon an examination of and familiarity with the Indenture, upon the undersigned's general knowledge of and familiarity with the operations of the Company and upon the performance of the undersigned's duties as an officer of the Company.

**ANNEX A** 

Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the "Indenture"), between PayPal Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), the terms of a series of Securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Designation</u>. The designation of the securities is "4.550% Notes due 2028" (the "2028
Notes").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Initial Aggregate Principal Amount</u>. The 2028 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal
amount to $650,000,000 (except for 2028 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with the Indenture or this <u>Annex A</u> (this "Annex")).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Currency Denomination</u>. The 2028 Notes shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Maturity</u>. The date on which the principal of the 2028 Notes is payable is June 1, 2028.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates</u>. Each 2028 Note shall bear interest from
May 15, 2026 at 4.550% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2026, to the Persons in whose names
the 2028 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Interest on the 2028 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 15, 2026. Interest on the 2028 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2028 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on
such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delay in payment).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Place of Payment</u>. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2028 Notes shall be payable, and
the transfer of the 2028 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, except that, at the option
of the Issuer, interest may be paid by sending a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2028 Notes register; *provided, however*, that while any 2028 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security,
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2028 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Optional Redemption</u>. Prior to June 1, 2028, the 2028 Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or
in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 10 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; *provided* that the principal amount of any 2028 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2028
Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer's
actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices of any redemption will be mailed (or in the case of 2028 Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted
electronically) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in
connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the 2028 Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2028 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2028 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2028 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other
corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may
be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer's discretion if in the good faith
judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer's obligations with respect to such redemption may
be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company's applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been
delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

------

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as
yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication)
("H.15") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall
select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to June 1, 2028 (the "Remaining Life"); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than, and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer
than, the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to June 1, 2028 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or
maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall
calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security
maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, June 1, 2028. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on June 1, 2028 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from
June 1, 2028, one with a maturity date preceding June 1, 2028 and one with a maturity date following June 1, 2028, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding June 1, 2028. If there
are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing

------

on June 1, 2028 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Change of Control Repurchase Event</u>. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer
has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2028 Notes in whole as described in Section 7 above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of 2028 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder's 2028 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2028
Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer's option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending
Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2028 Notes on
the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The notice shall, if sent 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 on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2028 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2028 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2028 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

------

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) accept for payment all 2028 Notes or portions of 2028 Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer's offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price in respect of all 2028 Notes or portions of 2028 Notes properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the 2028 Notes properly accepted, together
with an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2028 Notes held in bookentry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of 2028 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such 2028 Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2028 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2028 Notes surrendered; *provided*, that each new 2028 Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2028 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8 and the third party repurchases all 2028 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and the Issuer will not, make an offer to repurchase any 2028 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the 2028 Notes.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Liens securing obligations arising under or related to (a) the transfer of cash or other property with

clauses (a) through (m) shall not extend to or cover any of the Issuer's property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements to such property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may, without equally and ratably securing the 2028 Notes, create or incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, if after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any Indebtedness that is being retired substantially concurrently, Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (1) 20% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on a consolidated basis calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien and (2) $3.5 billion.

*Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions*. The Issuer covenants that, so long as any of the 2028 Notes remain outstanding, it shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement with any Person providing for the leasing by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Principal Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, that has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to such Person with the intention of taking back a lease of such Principal Property, a "sale and leaseback transaction," unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such transaction was entered into prior to the date of the initial issuance of the 2028 Notes (other than any
additional 2028 Notes) or any extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement, amendment or modification of such transaction so long as the affected Principal Property is substantially the same as or similar in nature to the Principal Property subject
to the sale and leaseback transaction extended, renewed, refinanced, replaced, amended or modified;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Issuer or any of its wholly- owned Subsidiaries of
any Principal Property by one of the Issuer's Restricted Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Issuer or
its Restricted Subsidiaries within a period of not more than three years);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Issuer would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such sale and leaseback
transaction without equally and ratably securing the 2028 Notes pursuant to the first paragraph of the "—Limitation on Liens" covenant described above; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of
such Principal Property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business (including the purchase or development of other Principal Property) or to the retirement of Indebtedness that is pari passu with the 2028 Notes
(including the 2028 Notes) within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of pari passu Indebtedness, the Issuer may deliver 2028 Notes
to the Trustee for cancellation, such 2028 Notes to be credited at the cost thereof.

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, if after giving effect thereto Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (1) 20% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on a consolidated basis calculated as of the relevant date of determination and (2) $3.5 billion.

"Aggregate Debt" means the sum of the following, as of the date of determination: (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' Indebtedness incurred after the date of initial issuance of the 2028 Notes and secured by Liens not permitted by the first paragraph under "—Limitation on Liens" above and (2) the Issuer's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of the initial issuance of the 2028 Notes pursuant to the second paragraph of "—Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions" above.

"Attributable Debt" means, with respect to any sale and leaseback transaction, at the time of determination, the lesser of (1) the fair market value of such Principal Property as determined in good faith by the Issuer's board of directors, and (2) the total obligation (discounted to the present value at the implicit interest factor, determined in accordance with GAAP, included in the rental payments) of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes as well as maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and other items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction.

------

Principal Property does not include any property that the Issuer's board of directors has determined not to be of material importance to the business conducted by the Issuer's Subsidiaries and the Issuer, taken as a whole.

"Restricted Subsidiary" means any subsidiary of the Issuer that constitutes a "significant subsidiary" (as such term is defined in Regulation S-X, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act), excluding (a) any subsidiary which is not organized under the laws of any state of the United States of America, (b) any subsidiary which conducts the major portion of its business outside the United States of America and (c) any subsidiary of any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Conversion and Exchange</u>. The 2028 Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other
security.

create and issue additional 2028 Notes with the same terms as the 2028 Notes issued on May 15, 2026 (the "Initial 2028 Notes"), except for the issue date, the offering price and, under certain circumstances, the first interest
payment date. Such additional 2028 Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Initial 2028 Notes; *provided* that if such additional 2028 Notes are not fungible with the Initial 2028 Notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, such additional 2028 Notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. No additional 2028 Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2028 Notes.

**[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]** 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Issuer designated as its 4.550% Notes due 2028 (the "Notes"). The Notes are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee with respect to the Notes (the "Trustee"), to which the Indenture and the Officer's Certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are Senior Securities within the meaning of the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only as Registered Securities in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable. This Note is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

Prior to June 1, 2028, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; *provided* that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices will be sent (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer 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 will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more

A-1-4

------

than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer's discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer's obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company's applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as
yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication)
("H.15") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall
select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to June 1, 2028 (the "Remaining Life"); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than, and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer
than, the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to June 1, 2028 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or
maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

A-1-5

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall
calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security
maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, June 1, 2028. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on June 1, 2028 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from
June 1, 2028, one with a maturity date preceding June 1, 2028 and one with a maturity date following June 1, 2028, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding June 1, 2028. If there
are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on June 1, 2028 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States
Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate
in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as
a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder's Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer's option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The notice shall, if sent 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 on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that

A-1-6

------

the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer's offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted, together with an
Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; *provided*, that each new Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and will not, make an offer to repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days' nor more than 60 days' prior notice (provided, that such notice is given not more than 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date specified in such notice (the "Second Change of Control Payment Date") and at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

"Below Investment Grade Rating Event" means the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

"Change of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, 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 properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares or voting power of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests; (3) the adoption of a plan by the Issuer's board of directors relating to the Issuer's liquidation or dissolution; or (4) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Issuer's outstanding Voting Equity Interests or the outstanding Voting Equity Interests of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Equity Interests of the surviving Person or parent entity thereof immediately after giving effect to such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (a) the Issuer becomes a wholly-owned Subsidiary of another Person and (b) immediately following that transaction, a majority of Voting Equity Interests of such Person is held by the direct or indirect Holders of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests immediately prior to such transaction and in substantially the same proportions as immediately prior to such transaction.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

**ANNEX B** 

Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the "Indenture"), between PayPal Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), the terms of a series of Securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Designation</u>. The designation of the securities is "4.950% Notes due 2031" (the "2031
Notes").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Initial Aggregate Principal Amount</u>. The 2031 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal
amount to $850,000,000 (except for 2031 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with the Indenture or this <u>Annex B</u> (this "Annex")).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Currency Denomination</u>. The 2031 Notes shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Maturity</u>. The date on which the principal of the 2031 Notes is payable is June 1, 2031.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates</u>. Each 2031 Note shall bear interest from
May 15, 2026 at 4.950% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2026, to the Persons in whose names
the 2031 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Interest on the 2031 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 15, 2026. Interest on the 2031 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2031 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on
such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delay in payment).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Place of Payment</u>. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2031 Notes shall be payable, and
the transfer of the 2031 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, except that, at the option
of the Issuer, interest may be paid by sending a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2031 Notes register; *provided, however*, that while any 2031 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security,
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2031 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Optional Redemption</u>. Prior to May 1, 2031, the 2031 Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or
in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the 2031 Notes matured on May 1, 2031) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to,
but not including, the date of redemption; *provided* that the principal amount of any 2031 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after
May 1, 2031 the Issuer may redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2031 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the
interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. Notices of any redemption will be mailed (or in the case of 2031 Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of the 2031 Notes to be
redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the 2031 Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the
Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2031 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If
less than all of the 2031 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2031 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer's discretion,
be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice
shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by
electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the
redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer's discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such
notice that payment of the redemption

------

price and performance of the Issuer's obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company's applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as
yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication)
("H.15") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall
select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2031 (the "Remaining Life"); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than, and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer
than, the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to May 1, 2031 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or
maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall
calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security
maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, May 1, 2031. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on May 1, 2031 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant

------

from May 1, 2031, one with a maturity date preceding May 1, 2031 and one with a maturity date following May 1, 2031, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding May 1, 2031. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on May 1, 2031 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Change of Control Repurchase Event</u>. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer
has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2031 Notes in whole as described in Section 7 above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of 2031 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder's 2031 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2031
Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer's option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending
Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2031 Notes on
the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The notice shall, if sent 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 on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2031 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2031 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2031 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

------

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) accept for payment all 2031 Notes or portions of 2031 Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer's offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price in respect of all 2031 Notes or portions of 2031 Notes properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the 2031 Notes properly accepted, together
with an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2031 Notes held in bookentry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of 2031 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such 2031 Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2031 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2031 Notes surrendered; *provided*, that each new 2031 Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2031 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8 and the third party repurchases all 2031 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and the Issuer will not, make an offer to repurchase any 2031 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the 2031 Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may, without equally and ratably securing the 2031 Notes, create or incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, if after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any Indebtedness that is being retired substantially concurrently, Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (1) 20% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on a consolidated basis calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien and (2) $3.5 billion.

*Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions*. The Issuer covenants that, so long as any of the 2031 Notes remain outstanding, it shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement with any Person providing for the leasing by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Principal Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, that has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to such Person with the intention of taking back a lease of such Principal Property, a "sale and leaseback transaction," unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such transaction was entered into prior to the date of the initial issuance of the 2031 Notes (other than any
additional 2031 Notes) or any extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement, amendment or modification of such transaction so long as the affected Principal Property is substantially the same as or similar in nature to the Principal Property subject
to the sale and leaseback transaction extended, renewed, refinanced, replaced, amended or modified;

------

any Principal Property by one of the Issuer's Restricted Subsidiaries;

its Restricted Subsidiaries within a period of not more than three years);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Issuer would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such sale and leaseback
transaction without equally and ratably securing the 2031 Notes pursuant to the first paragraph of the "—Limitation on Liens" covenant described above; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of
such Principal Property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business (including the purchase or development of other Principal Property) or to the retirement of Indebtedness that is pari passu with the 2031 Notes
(including the 2031 Notes) within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of pari passu Indebtedness, the Issuer may deliver 2031 Notes
to the Trustee for cancellation, such 2031 Notes to be credited at the cost thereof.

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, if after giving effect thereto Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (1) 20% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on a consolidated basis calculated as of the relevant date of determination and (2) $3.5 billion.

"Aggregate Debt" means the sum of the following, as of the date of determination: (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' Indebtedness incurred after the date of initial issuance of the 2031 Notes and secured by Liens not permitted by the first paragraph under "—Limitation on Liens" above and (2) the Issuer's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of the initial issuance of the 2031 Notes pursuant to the second paragraph of "—Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions" above.

"Attributable Debt" means, with respect to any sale and leaseback transaction, at the time of determination, the lesser of (1) the fair market value of such Principal Property as determined in good faith by the Issuer's board of directors, and (2) the total obligation (discounted to the present value at the implicit interest factor, determined in accordance with GAAP, included in the rental payments) of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes as well as maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and other items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction.

------

"Principal Property" means any single parcel of real property or any permanent improvement thereon (1) owned by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries located in the United States, including the Issuer's principal corporate office, any other offices or data centers or any portion thereof and (2) having a book value, as of the date of determination, in excess of 3% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Principal Property does not include any property that the Issuer's board of directors has determined not to be of material importance to the business conducted by the Issuer's Subsidiaries and the Issuer, taken as a whole.

"Restricted Subsidiary" means any subsidiary of the Issuer that constitutes a "significant subsidiary" (as such term is defined in Regulation S-X, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act), excluding (a) any subsidiary which is not organized under the laws of any state of the United States of America, (b) any subsidiary which conducts the major portion of its business outside the United States of America and (c) any subsidiary of any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Conversion and Exchange</u>. The 2031 Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other
security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Additional Issues</u>. The Issuer may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the 2031 Notes,
create and issue additional 2031 Notes with the same terms as the 2031 Notes issued on May 15, 2026 (the "Initial 2031 Notes"), except for the issue date, the offering price and, under certain circumstances, the first interest
payment date. Such additional 2031 Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Initial 2031 Notes; *provided* that if such additional 2031 Notes are not fungible with the Initial 2031 Notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, such additional 2031 Notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. No additional 2031 Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2031 Notes.

**[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]** 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Issuer designated as its 4.950% Notes due 2031 (the "Notes"). The Notes are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee with respect to the Notes (the "Trustee"), to which the Indenture and the Officer's Certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are Senior Securities within the meaning of the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only as Registered Securities in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable. This Note is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

Prior to May 1, 2031, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the Notes matured on May 1, 2031) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; *provided* that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after May 1, 2031, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices will be sent (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer 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 will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more

conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer's discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer's obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company's applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as
yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication)
("H.15") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall
select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2031 (the "Remaining Life"); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than, and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer
than, the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to May 1, 2031 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or
maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

B-1-5

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall
calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security
maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, May 1, 2031. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on May 1, 2031 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from
May 1, 2031, one with a maturity date preceding May 1, 2031 and one with a maturity date following May 1, 2031, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding May 1, 2031. If there are
two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on May 1, 2031 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury
securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in
accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a
percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder's Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer's option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The notice shall, if sent 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 on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer's offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted, together with an
Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; *provided*, that each new Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and will not, make an offer to repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days' nor more than 60 days' prior notice (provided, that such notice is given not more than 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control

Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date specified in such notice (the "Second Change of Control Payment Date") and at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

"Below Investment Grade Rating Event" means the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

"Change of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, 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 properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares or voting power of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests; (3) the adoption of a plan by the Issuer's board of directors relating to the Issuer's liquidation or dissolution; or (4) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Issuer's outstanding Voting Equity Interests or the outstanding Voting Equity Interests of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Equity Interests of the surviving Person or parent entity thereof immediately after giving effect to such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (a) the Issuer becomes a wholly-owned Subsidiary of another Person and (b) immediately following that transaction, a majority of Voting Equity Interests of such Person is held by the direct or indirect Holders of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests immediately prior to such transaction and in substantially the same proportions as immediately prior to such transaction.

"Change of Control Repurchase Event" means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

"Fitch" means Fitch Inc., a subsidiary of Fimalac, S.A.

"S&P" means Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the books of the Registrar, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained by the Issuer for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

**ANNEX C** 

Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the "Indenture"), between PayPal Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), the terms of a series of Securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Designation</u>. The designation of the securities is "5.550% Notes due 2036" (the "2036
Notes").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Initial Aggregate Principal Amount</u>. The 2036 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal
amount to $500,000,000 (except for 2036 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with the Indenture or this Annex C (this "Annex")).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Currency Denomination</u>. The 2036 Notes shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Maturity</u>. The date on which the principal of the 2036 Notes is payable is June 1, 2036.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates</u>. Each 2036 Note shall bear interest from
May 15, 2026 at 5.550% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2026, to the Persons in whose names
the 2036 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively (whether or not such record date is a Business Day). Interest on the 2036 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 15, 2026. Interest on the 2036 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2036 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on
such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delay in payment).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Place of Payment</u>. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2036 Notes shall be payable, and
the transfer of the 2036 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, except that, at the option
of the Issuer, interest may be paid by sending a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2036 Notes register; *provided, however*, that while any 2036 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security,
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2036 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Optional Redemption</u>. Prior to March 1, 2036, the 2036 Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time
or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the 2036 Notes matured on March 1, 2036) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to,
but not including, the date of redemption; *provided* that the principal amount of any 2036 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after
March 1, 2036, the Issuer may redeem the 2036 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2036 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the
interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. Notices of any redemption will be mailed (or in the case of 2036 Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of the 2036 Notes to be
redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the 2036 Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the
Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2036 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If
less than all of the 2036 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2036 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer's discretion,
be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice
shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by
electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the
redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer's discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such
notice

------

that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer's obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company's applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as
yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication)
("H.15") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall
select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to March 1, 2036 (the "Remaining Life"); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than, and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer
than, the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to March 1, 2036 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or
maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall
calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security
maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, March 1, 2036. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on March 1, 2036 but there are two or

------

more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from March 1, 2036, one with a maturity date preceding March 1, 2036 and one with a maturity date following March 1, 2036, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding March 1, 2036. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on March 1, 2036 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub- paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Change of Control Repurchase Event</u>. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer
has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2036 Notes in whole as described in Section 7 above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of 2036 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder's 2036 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2036 Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2036
Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer's option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending
Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2036 Notes on
the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The notice shall, if sent 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 on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2036 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2036 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2036 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

------

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) accept for payment all 2036 Notes or portions of 2036 Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer's offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price in respect of all 2036 Notes or portions of 2036 Notes properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the 2036 Notes properly accepted, together
with an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2036 Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2036 Notes held in bookentry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of 2036 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such 2036 Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2036 Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2036 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2036 Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2036 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8 and the third party repurchases all 2036 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 8. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and the Issuer will not, make an offer to repurchase any 2036 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the 2036 Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may, without equally and ratably securing the 2036 Notes, create or incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, if after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any Indebtedness that is being retired substantially concurrently, Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (1) 20% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on a consolidated basis calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien and (2) $3.5 billion.

*Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions*. The Issuer covenants that, so long as any of the 2036 Notes remain outstanding, it shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement with any Person providing for the leasing by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Principal Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, that has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to such Person with the intention of taking back a lease of such Principal Property, a "sale and leaseback transaction," unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such transaction was entered into prior to the date of the initial issuance of the 2036 Notes (other than any
additional 2036 Notes) or any extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement, amendment or modification of such transaction so long as the affected Principal Property is substantially the same as or similar in nature to the Principal Property subject
to the sale and leaseback transaction extended, renewed, refinanced, replaced, amended or modified;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Issuer or any of its wholly- owned Subsidiaries of
any Principal Property by one of the Issuer's Restricted Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Issuer or
its Restricted Subsidiaries within a period of not more than three years);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Issuer would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such sale and leaseback
transaction without equally and ratably securing the 2036 Notes pursuant to the first paragraph of the "—Limitation on Liens" covenant described above; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of
such Principal Property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business (including the purchase or development of other Principal Property) or to the retirement of Indebtedness that is pari passu with the 2036 Notes
(including the 2036 Notes) within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of pari passu Indebtedness, the Issuer may deliver 2036 Notes
to the Trustee for cancellation, such 2036 Notes to be credited at the cost thereof.

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, if after giving effect thereto Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (1) 20% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on a consolidated basis calculated as of the relevant date of determination and (2) $3.5 billion.

"Aggregate Debt" means the sum of the following, as of the date of determination: (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' Indebtedness incurred after the date of initial issuance of the 2036 Notes and secured by Liens not permitted by the first paragraph under "—Limitation on Liens" above and (2) the Issuer's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of the initial issuance of the 2036 Notes pursuant to the second paragraph of "—Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions" above.

"Attributable Debt" means, with respect to any sale and leaseback transaction, at the time of determination, the lesser of (1) the fair market value of such Principal Property as determined in good faith by the Issuer's board of directors, and (2) the total obligation (discounted to the present value at the implicit interest factor, determined in accordance with GAAP, included in the rental payments) of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes as well as maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and other items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction.

------

"Principal Property" means any single parcel of real property or any permanent improvement thereon (1) owned by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries located in the United States, including the Issuer's principal corporate office, any other offices or data centers or any portion thereof and (2) having a book value, as of the date of determination, in excess of 3% of the Issuer's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Principal Property does not include any property that the Issuer's board of directors has determined not to be of material importance to the business conducted by the Issuer's Subsidiaries and the Issuer, taken as a whole.

"Restricted Subsidiary" means any subsidiary of the Issuer that constitutes a "significant subsidiary" (as such term is defined in Regulation S-X, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act), excluding (a) any subsidiary which is not organized under the laws of any state of the United States of America, (b) any subsidiary which conducts the major portion of its business outside the United States of America and (c) any subsidiary of any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Conversion and Exchange</u>. The 2036 Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other
security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Additional Issues</u>. The Issuer may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the 2036 Notes,
create and issue additional 2036 Notes with the same terms as the 2036 Notes issued on May 15, 2026 (the "Initial 2036 Notes"), except for the issue date, the offering price and, under certain circumstances, the first interest
payment date. Such additional 2036 Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Initial 2036 Notes; *provided* that if such additional 2036 Notes are not fungible with the Initial 2036 Notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, such additional 2036 Notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. No additional 2036 Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2036 Notes.

meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

**[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]** 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Issuer designated as its 5.550% Notes due 2036 (the "Notes"). The Notes are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee with respect to the Notes (the "Trustee"), to which the Indenture and the Officer's Certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are Senior Securities within the meaning of the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only as Registered Securities in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable. This Note is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

Prior to March 1, 2036, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the date of redemption (assuming the Notes matured on March 1, 2036) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; *provided* that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, on or after March 1, 2036, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, for cash, at a redemption price 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. The Issuer's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notices will be sent (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, be transmitted electronically) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Unless the Issuer 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 will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more

conditions precedent, including the completion of an offering of capital stock of the Issuer or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer's discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer's obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. Subject to the Depository Trust Company's applicable procedures, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date if such notice has been delayed or rescinded, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two sub-paragraphs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as
yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication)
("H.15") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall
select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to March 1, 2036 (the "Remaining Life"); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than, and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer
than, the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to March 1, 2036 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or
maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

C-1-5

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall
calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security
maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, March 1, 2036. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on March 1, 2036 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant
from March 1, 2036, one with a maturity date preceding March 1, 2036 and one with a maturity date following March 1, 2036, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding March 1, 2036.
If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on March 1, 2036 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United
States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the
Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this sub-paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices
(expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount) of such Holder's Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer's option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The notice shall, if sent 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 on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

C-1-6

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 above that amount) properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer's offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted, together with an
Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmit electronically) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; *provided*, that each new Note will be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth herein. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to, and will not, make an offer to repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Issuer, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days' nor more than 60 days' prior notice (provided, that such notice is given not more than 60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control

C-1-7

Repurchase Event described above) to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date specified in such notice (the "Second Change of Control Payment Date") and at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

"Below Investment Grade Rating Event" means the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

"Change of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, 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 properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares or voting power of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests; (3) the adoption of a plan by the Issuer's board of directors relating to the Issuer's liquidation or dissolution; or (4) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Issuer's outstanding Voting Equity Interests or the outstanding Voting Equity Interests of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Equity Interests of the surviving Person or parent entity thereof immediately after giving effect to such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (a) the Issuer becomes a wholly-owned Subsidiary of another Person and (b) immediately following that transaction, a majority of Voting Equity Interests of such Person is held by the direct or indirect Holders of the Issuer's Voting Equity Interests immediately prior to such transaction and in substantially the same proportions as immediately prior to such transaction.

"S&P" means Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the books of the Registrar, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained by the Issuer for such purpose in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
