LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and the several other underwriters named therein, related to the Issuers' offering of €600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 3.226% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"), €900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 3.812% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "2034 Notes"), €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 4.193% Senior Notes due 2038 (the "2038 Notes") and €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 4.737% Senior Notes due 2046 (the "2046 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the 2034 Notes and the 2038 Notes, the "EUR Notes").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. *Conditions*. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities as provided herein on the Closing Date shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Issuers and Baker Hughes set forth in Section 1 hereof as of the date hereof, as of the Initial Sale Time and as of the Closing Date as though then made, to the timely performance by each of the Issuers and Baker Hughes of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, to the Registration Statement having become effective prior to the date hereof and to each of the following additional conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of Baker Hughes and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by an executive officer of Baker Hughes, to the effect set forth in Section 3(a)(i) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that each of the

The opinion and negative assurance letter of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP described in Section 3(c) above shall be rendered to the Underwriters at the request of Baker Hughes and shall so state therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To furnish to you, upon request and without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (excluding exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) during the period mentioned in Section 4(e) or 4(f) below, as many copies of the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any documents incorporated therein by reference and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as you may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to

------

comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) To endeavor to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) The Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer will prepare a final term sheet containing only a description of the Securities, in a form approved by the Underwriters and attached as Exhibit A hereto, and will file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such rule (such term sheet, the "**Final Term Sheet**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the business day following the Closing Date, none of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer will, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Representatives), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open "put equivalent position" within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering of, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of, any debt securities of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer or securities exchangeable for or convertible into debt securities of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer (other than as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Securities and the proposed offering of USD-denominated senior notes to be offered substantially concurrent with this offering).

indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this Section 7(c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statements to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such Section, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer, on the one hand, or by the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Each of the Company's, Baker Hughes' and the Co-Issuer's obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7(d) are joint and several. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective number of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by *pro rata* allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter Indemnitee, the Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer or any person controlling any of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer and its respective officers or directors and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) For purposes of this Section 7, the parties agree that any loss incurred by an Underwriter as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the "**Judgment Currency**") other than euros and as a result of any variation as between i) the rate of exchange at which the euro amount is converted into Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and ii) the rate of exchange at which such Underwriter is able to purchase euros on the business day following actual receipt by such Underwriter of any sum adjudged or ordered to be so due in the Judgment Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such Underwriter shall constitute indemnifiable losses pursuant to this section. The term "rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with purchase or, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. *Termination*. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States, or with respect to the clearing systems in Europe, shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. *Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters*. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase such Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Securities and the aggregate principal amount of such Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5, 7, 15 and 16 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, to Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 9. Any action taken under this Section 9 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

------

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer shall be unable to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. *Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes*. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section 10, a "**BHC Act Affiliate**" has the meaning assigned to the term "affiliate" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). "**Covered Entity**" means any of the following: (i) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). "**Default Right**" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. "**U.S. Special Resolution Regime**" means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. *Entire Agreement*. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm's length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer. Each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. *Counterparts*. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," "delivery," and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act or, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. *Successors.* This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, including any substitute Underwriter pursuant to Section 9 hereof, and to the benefit of the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term "successors" shall not include any purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Underwriters merely by reason of such purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. *Partial Unenforceability.* The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. *Applicable Law*. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the provisions of Section 7 hereto fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer, their affairs and their businesses in order to assure that adequate disclosure has been made in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (and any amendments and supplements thereto), as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

The Settlement Bank acknowledges that (i) the Securities shall be held to the order of the Company as set out above and (ii) the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto for the Securities received in the Commissionaire Account will be held on behalf of the Company until such time as they are transferred to the Company's order.

The Company acknowledges and accepts the benefit of the third-party beneficiary clause ('*stipulation pour autrui*') pursuant to the Belgian or Luxembourg Civil Code, as applicable, in respect of the Commissionaire Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. *Product Governance Rules (EU)*.

\* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

\*\* The issuers expect that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on March 11, 2026, which will be the fourth business day following the date hereof (such settlement being referred to as "T+4"). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the initial trade date of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+4, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their advisors. 

The issuers have filed a registration statement (including a preliminary prospectus supplement and a prospectus) and a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus supplement for this offering, the issuers' prospectus in that registration statement and any other documents the issuers have filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuers and this offering. You may get these documents for free by searching the SEC online data base (EDGAR) on the SEC web site at http://www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the issuers, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus supplement and prospectus if you request it by calling (i) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC at 1-866-471-2526, (ii) Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc at 1-866-718-1649, (iii) Citigroup Global Markets Limited at 1-800-831-9146, (iv) Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch at 1-800-503-4611 or (v) J.P. Morgan Securities plc (for non-U.S. investors) at 44 207 134 2468 or J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (for U.S. investors) at 1-212-834-4533.

The notes will be represented by beneficial interests in fully registered permanent global notes (the "international global notes") without interest coupons attached, which will be registered in the name of, and shall be deposited on or about March 11, 2026 with a common depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream") and Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"). Any notes represented by global notes held by a nominee of Clearstream or Euroclear will be subject to the then applicable procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear, as applicable. Clearstream and Euroclear's current practice is to make payments in respect of global notes to participants of record that hold an interest in the relevant global notes at the close of business on the date that is the clearing system business day (for these purposes, Monday to Friday inclusive except December 25th and January 1st) immediately preceding each applicable interest payment date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities sold by the Issuers in the manner described under the caption "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Company will cooperate with the Underwriters and use its best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of the Depositary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) To advise you promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and of any proceeding pending before or threatened by the Commission for such purpose pursuant to Section 8A under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) To make generally available to each of the Company's, Baker Hughes' and the Co-Issuer's security holders and to you as soon as practicable an earning statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of Baker Hughes occurring after the date of this Agreement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) The Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer will prepare a final term sheet containing only a description of the Securities, in a form approved by the Underwriters and attached as Exhibit A hereto, and will file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such rule (such term sheet, the "**Final Term Sheet**").

The Representatives, on behalf of the several Underwriters, may, in their sole discretion, waive in writing the performance by the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. *Expenses*. Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) all expenses incident to the issuance and delivery of the Securities, (ii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities, (iii) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the counsel for Baker Hughes and the Issuers, Baker Hughes' accountants in connection with the registration and delivery of the Securities under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including all printing and engraving costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Securities by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in an amount not to exceed $15,000, (v) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, shipping and distribution of this Agreement, the Indenture, the DTC Agreement and the Securities, (vi) the cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky or Legal Investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 4(g) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or Legal Investment memorandum in an amount not to exceed $15,000, (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities, (viii) any fees payable in connection with the rating of the Securities with the ratings agencies, (ix) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Issuers in connection with approval of the Securities by the Depositary for "book-entry" transfer, (x) the costs and expenses of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer relating to investor presentations on any "road show" undertaken in connection with the marketing of the

It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section and Section 7 entitled "Indemnity and Contribution" and the last paragraph of Section 9 below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. *Covenants of the Underwriters*. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. *Indemnity and Contribution*. (a) Each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Underwriter, (ii) the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, (iii) each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (iv) each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the "**Underwriter Indemnitees**") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any "road show" as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a "**road show**"), or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any of the Underwriters consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof. Each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer agrees and confirms that references to "affiliates" of any Underwriter that appear in this Agreement shall, with respect to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, be understood to include Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer hereby acknowledges that the only information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto are the following statements set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto: the first two sentences of the first paragraph under the caption "*Underwriting—Discounts*", the third sentence of the first paragraph under the caption "*Underwriting—New Issues of Notes*" and the first and second paragraphs under the heading "*Underwriting—Short Positions and Penalty Bids*".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b), such person (the "**indemnified party**") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "**indemnifying party**") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iv) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in

------

addition to those available to the indemnifying party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Underwriter Indemnitees and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriter Indemnitees, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this Section 7(c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statements to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such Section, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits

------

received by the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer, on the one hand, or by the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Each of the Company's, Baker Hughes' and the Co-Issuer's obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7(d) are joint and several. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective number of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by *pro rata* allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter Indemnitee, the Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer or any person controlling any of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer and its respective officers or directors and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. *Termination*. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. *Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters*. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase such Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Securities and the aggregate principal amount of such Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5, 7, 15 and 16 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, to Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 9. Any action taken under this Section 9 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

------

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company, Baker Hughes or the Co-Issuer shall be unable to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. *Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes*. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section 10, a "**BHC Act Affiliate**" has the meaning assigned to the term "affiliate" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). "**Covered Entity**" means any of the following: (i) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). "**Default Right**" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. "**U.S. Special Resolution Regime**" means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. *Entire Agreement*. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm's length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer. Each of the Company, Baker Hughes and the Co-Issuer waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. *Counterparts*. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," "delivery," and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act or, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. *Successors.* This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, including any substitute Underwriter pursuant to Section 9 hereof, and to the benefit of the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term "successors" shall not include any purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Underwriters merely by reason of such purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. *Partial Unenforceability.* The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. *Applicable Law*. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. *Waiver of Jury Trial.* THE UNDERWRITERS, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE COMPANY, BAKER HUGHES AND THE CO-ISSUER (EACH ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS RESPECTIVE STOCKHOLDERS), ON THE OTHER HAND, WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. *Headings*. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. *General Provisions*. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it is a sophisticated business person who was adequately represented by counsel during negotiations regarding the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the indemnification and contribution provisions of Section 7, and is fully informed regarding said provisions. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the provisions of Section 7 hereto fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company, Baker Hughes, the Co-Issuer, their affairs and their businesses in order to assure that adequate disclosure has been made in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (and any amendments and supplements thereto), as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

\* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

\*\* The issuers expect that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on March 11, 2026, which will be the fourth business day following the date hereof (such settlement being referred to as "T+4"). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the initial trade date of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+4, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their advisors. 

The issuers have filed a registration statement (including a preliminary prospectus supplement and a prospectus) and a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus supplement for this offering, the issuers' prospectus in that registration statement and any other documents the issuers have filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuers and this offering. You may get these documents for free by searching the SEC online data base (EDGAR) on the SEC web site at http://www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the issuers, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus supplement and prospectus if you request it by calling (i) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC at 1-866-471-2526, (ii) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC at 1-866-718-1649, (iii) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at 1-800-831-9146, (iv) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. at 1-800-503-4611 or (v) J.P.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Initial holders will be required to pay for the Notes in euros, and all payments on the Notes will be payable in euros; provided that if on or after the date of this prospectus supplement the euro is unavailable to the Issuers due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuers' control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Issuers or so used. The amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee, transfer agent and registrar nor the paying agent will have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

SECTION 2.05. <u>Optional Redemption</u>. (a) Each series of the Notes shall be subject to redemption, as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except in the case of the Special Mandatory Redemption described in Section 2.06, if any of the Notes are redeemed prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the applicable Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) for the Notes will be equal to the greater of (1) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (exclusive of any accrued interest) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus the applicable Redemption Spread (as defined below) or (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The "**Redemption Spread**" means, with respect to the 2030 Notes, 15 basis points; with respect to the 2034 Notes, 20 basis points; with respect to the 2038 Notes, 20 basis points; and with respect to the 2046 Notes, 25 basis points. The Company's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Unless the Issuers default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notices of redemption will be delivered at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance with respect to the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes. A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. Notice of any redemption of Notes may, at the Company's discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Redemption Date. The Company shall notify Holders of any such rescission as soon as practicable after it determines that such conditions precedent will not be able to be satisfied or the Company is not able or willing to waive such conditions precedent, in each case subject to Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. Once notice of redemption is delivered, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price as set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In the event of any redemption requiring a calculation of the present value of the principal and interest payments in respect of Notes, the Company may appoint a calculation agent to make any such required calculation. For the avoidance of doubt, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall not be responsible for calculating any present value or make-whole amounts in connection with the Notes. The Company shall be responsible for these calculations or shall appoint a separate calculation agent for that purpose.

SECTION 2.06. <u>Special Mandatory Redemption</u>. (a) If (i) Chart Merger is not consummated on or before the later of (x) July 28, 2026 and (y) the date that is five business days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) prior to the Outside Date, the Merger Agreement is terminated or (iii) the Company notifies the Trustee that the Parent Guarantor will not pursue consummation of the Chart Merger (any such event, a "**Special Mandatory Redemption Event**"), then the Company will be required to redeem all the Notes (the "**Special Mandatory Redemption**"), at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate

------

principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein) (subject to the right of holders of such Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Price"). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will have no obligation to monitor, or otherwise inquire into, the status of the Chart Merger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that the Company becomes obligated to redeem the Notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Company will promptly, and in any event not more than 10 business days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event, deliver notice to the Trustee of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which the Notes will be redeemed (the "**Special Mandatory Redemption Date**"), which date shall be no later than the tenth business day following the date of such notice to the Trustee unless some longer minimum period may be required by the Depositary, together with a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption for the Trustee to deliver to each registered holder of the Notes, which notice shall be provided to the Trustee with sufficient time to allow the Trustee to deliver such notice to holders at least 10 days prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (which is understood to mean at least three business days prior to the date on which the notice must be sent). The Trustee will then reasonably promptly mail or electronically deliver (or otherwise transmit in accordance with the Depositary's procedures) such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered holder of the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On or before the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company will pay to the Paying Agent for payment to each Holder of the Notes the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such Holder's Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Failure to make the Special Mandatory Redemption, if required in accordance with the terms described above, will constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [reserved]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Upon the consummation of the Chart Merger, the foregoing provisions regarding Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply. For the purposes of the foregoing, the Chart Merger will be deemed consummated if "Closing" under the Merger Agreement occurs, including after giving effect to any amendments or modifications to the Merger Agreement or waivers thereunder acceptable to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) For purposes of the foregoing discussion, the following definition applies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) "**Chart**" means Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) "**Chart Merger**" means the transaction pursuant to which Merger Sub (as defined below) will merge with and into Chart, with Chart surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent Guarantor.

SECTION 2.07. <u>Redemption for Tax Reasons</u>. (a) If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws of the United States or the official interpretation thereof that is announced or becomes effective on or after March 11, 2026 , the Issuers become or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Issuers, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 2.08) with respect to the Notes, then the Issuers may at any time at their option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

SECTION 2.08. <u>Payment of Additional Amounts</u>. (a) The Issuers shall, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Notes such additional amounts (the "**Additional Amounts**") as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Issuers or a Paying Agent of the principal, premium and interest with respect to the Notes to a holder that is not a United States person (as defined herein), after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply:

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of senior securities of the Issuers (herein called the "***Securities***"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 28, 2008, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated July 3, 2017 (the "***Second Supplemental Indenture***") and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2023 (the "***Seventh Supplemental Indenture***"), and as further supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (herein so called) thereto, dated as of March 11, 2026 (herein called the "***Indenture***", which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such Eighth Supplemental Indenture), among the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the "***Trustee***", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as the initial Paying Agent (herein called the "***Paying Agent***"), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Indenture and the terms of this Security, the terms of the Indenture control. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, the aggregate principal amount of which is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series authorized for issuance pursuant to the Indenture is limited to the €600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series initially authorized for issuance on the Issue Date plus such additional amounts of Securities of this series as may be authorized for issuance from time to time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (except for Securities of this series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of this series pursuant to the Indenture).

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon prior notice, as provided below, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company as set forth in Section 2.05 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Securities of this series are also subject to a Special Mandatory Redemption, as set forth in Section 2.06 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture. If (i) the Chart Merger is not consummated on or before the later of (x) July 28, 2026 and (y) the date that is five business days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) prior to the Outside Date, the Merger Agreement is terminated or (iii) the Company notifies the Trustee under the indenture that the Parent Guarantor will not pursue consummation of the Chart Merger (any such event, a "Special Mandatory Redemption Event"), then the Company will be required to redeem all the Notes (the "Special Mandatory Redemption"), at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein) (subject to the right of holders of such Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Price"). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will have no obligation to monitor, or otherwise inquire into, the status of the Chart Merger.

------

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

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared, or shall automatically become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Indenture and the terms of this Security, the terms of the Indenture control. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, the aggregate principal amount of which is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series authorized for issuance pursuant to the Indenture is limited to the €900,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series initially authorized for issuance on the Issue Date plus such additional amounts of Securities of this series as may be authorized for issuance from time to time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (except for Securities of this series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of this series pursuant to the Indenture).

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon prior notice, as provided below, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company as set forth in Section 2.05 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Securities of this series are also subject to a Special Mandatory Redemption, as set forth in Section 2.06 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture. If (i) the Chart Merger is not consummated on or before the later of (x) July 28, 2026 and (y) the date that is five business days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) prior to the Outside Date, the Merger Agreement is terminated or (iii) the Company notifies the Trustee under the indenture that the Parent Guarantor will not pursue consummation of the Chart Merger (any such event, a "Special Mandatory Redemption Event"), then the Company will be required to redeem all the Notes (the "Special Mandatory Redemption"), at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein) (subject to the right of holders of such Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Price"). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will have no obligation to monitor, or otherwise inquire into, the status of the Chart Merger.

------

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

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared, or shall automatically become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

SECTION 2.05. <u>Optional Redemption</u>. (a) Each series of the Notes shall be subject to redemption, as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except in the case of the Special Mandatory Redemption described in Section 2.06, if any of the Notes are redeemed prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the applicable Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) for the Notes will be equal to the greater of (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus the applicable Redemption Spread (as defined below) less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. The "**Redemption Spread**" means, with respect to the 2029 Notes, 10 basis points; with respect to the 2031 Notes, 10 basis points; with respect to the 2033 Notes, 15 basis points; with respect to the 2036 Notes, 15 basis points; and with respect to the 2056 Notes, 20 basis points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding 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 Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (the "**Remaining Life**"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and

------

one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company 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, the applicable Par Call Date as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this 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.

The Company's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2029 Notes, 2031 Notes, 2033 Notes, 2036 Notes or 2056 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Unless the Issuers default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notices of redemption will be delivered at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance with respect to the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes. A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. Notice of any redemption of Notes may, at the Company's discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived on or prior to the business day immediately preceding the relevant Redemption Date. The Company shall notify Holders of any such rescission as soon as practicable after it determines that such conditions precedent will not be able to be satisfied or the Company is not able or willing to waive such conditions precedent, in each case subject to Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. Once notice of redemption is delivered, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price as set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In the event of any redemption requiring a calculation of the present value of the principal and interest payments in respect of Notes, the Company may appoint a calculation agent to make any such required calculation. For the avoidance of doubt, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall not be responsible for calculating any present value or make-whole amounts in connection with the Notes. The Company shall be responsible for these calculations or shall appoint a separate calculation agent for that purpose.

SECTION 2.06. <u>Special Mandatory Redemption</u>. (a) If (i) Chart Merger is not consummated on or before the later of (x) July 28, 2026 and (y) the date that is five business days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) prior to the Outside Date, the Merger Agreement is terminated or (iii) the Company notifies the Trustee that the Parent Guarantor will not pursue consummation of the Chart Merger (any such event, a "**Special Mandatory Redemption Event**"), then the Company will be required to redeem all the Notes (the "**Special Mandatory Redemption**"), at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein) (subject to the right of holders of such Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the "**Special Mandatory Redemption Price**"). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will have no obligation to monitor, or otherwise inquire into, the status of the Chart Merger.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that the Company becomes obligated to redeem the Notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Company will promptly, and in any event not more than 10 business days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event, deliver notice to the Trustee of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which the Notes will be redeemed (the "**Special Mandatory Redemption Date**"), which date shall be no later than the tenth business day following the date of such notice to the Trustee unless some longer minimum period may be required by DTC (or any successor depositary), together with a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption for the Trustee to deliver to each registered holder of the Notes, which notice shall be provided to the Trustee with sufficient time to allow the Trustee to deliver such notice to holders at least 10 days prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (which is understood to mean at least three business days prior to the date on which the notice must be sent). The Trustee will then reasonably promptly mail or electronically deliver (or otherwise transmit in accordance with the depositary's procedures) such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered holder of the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On or before the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company will pay to the Paying Agent for payment to each Holder of the Notes the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such Holder's Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Failure to make the Special Mandatory Redemption, if required in accordance with the terms described above, will constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [reserved]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Upon the consummation of the Chart Merger, the foregoing provisions regarding Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply. For the purposes of the foregoing, the Chart Merger will be deemed consummated if "Closing" under the Merger Agreement occurs, including after giving effect to any amendments or modifications to the Merger Agreement or waivers thereunder acceptable to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) For purposes of the foregoing discussion, the following definition applies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) "**Chart**" means Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) "**Chart Merger**" means the transaction pursuant to which Merger Sub (as defined below) will merge with and into Chart, with Chart surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent Guarantor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) "**Merger Agreement**" means the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 28, 2025, by and among Parent Guarantor, Chart and Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent Guarantor ("**Merger Sub**"), as it may be amended from time to time.

This restriction, however, shall not apply to: (i) mortgages on property of any corporation or other Person existing at the time such corporation or other Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) mortgages on property of a corporation or other Person existing at the time that corporation or other Person is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, transfer, conveyance or the disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that corporation or other Person to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) mortgages on any property the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary acquires, constructs, develops, expands or improves that secure debt issued, assumed or guaranteed (or issued, assumed or guaranteed pursuant to a commitment entered into) prior to, at the time of or within 12 months after the acquisition or completion of construction, development, expansion or improvement of the property (or, in the case of property constructed, developed, expanded or improved, if later, the commencement of commercial operation of the property) for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of the property or the cost of the construction or improvement (together with, in the case of construction, development, expansion or improvement, mortgages on property previously owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent constituting unimproved real property on which the property being constructed, developed or expanded or the improvement is located); (iv) mortgages securing debt owing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; (v) mortgages on property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any political subdivision thereof, to secure any debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction, development, expansion or improvement of the property subject to such mortgages or to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to the provisions of any contracts, statute, law, rule or regulation; (vi) mortgages incurred in connection with pollution control, industrial revenue or similar financings; (vii) mortgages incurred or deposits made (including mortgages and deposits securing letters of credit or similar financial assurance) to secure the performance of or in connection with bids, tenders, statutory, governmental or private contractual or other obligations, surety, performance, completion, appeal or similar bonds, leases, return-of-money bonds and other obligations similar to any of the foregoing, in each case in the ordinary course of business; (viii) mortgages arising by operation of law, including but not limited to mortgages for taxes, assessments or similar charges that are not yet due or the validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (ix) mortgages existing at the Issue Date; (x) mortgages on inventory to secure current liabilities of debt; and (xi) any extension, renewal or replacement

This Section 3.02(b) does not apply to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction (i) entered into in connection with an industrial revenue, pollution control or similar financing or any Sale and Leaseback Transaction or (ii) in which the only parties involved are the Company and any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries. When calculating the amount of Attributable Debt, any Attributable Debt for these Sale and Leaseback Transactions will be excluded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In addition to the exceptions set forth under Sections 3.02(a) and 3.02(b) above, the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur debt secured by mortgages and enter into additional Sale and Leaseback Transactions otherwise prohibited by (and not permitted under the exceptions to) Sections 3.02(a) or 3.02(b) above as long as the total of such debt secured by mortgages plus the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transactions does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Worth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Original Indenture or this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) such Depositary has notified the Issuers that it (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Issuers have executed and delivered to the Trustee a Company Order stating that such Global Security shall be exchanged in whole for Definitive Securities.

In addition to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), if an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series has occurred and is continuing, a Holder of the Notes of such series may request and the Issuers shall issue Definitive Securities registered in such Holder's name representing such Holder's beneficial interest in the Global Security representing such series of Notes. If the Issuers receive a notice of the kind specified in clause (A) above, the Issuers may, in their sole discretion, designate a successor Depositary for such Global Security within 90 days after receiving such notice. If the Issuers designate a successor Depositary as aforesaid, such Global Security shall promptly be exchanged in whole for one or more other Global Securities registered in the name of the successor Depositary, whereupon such designated successor shall be the Depositary for such successor Global Security or Global Securities and the provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this provision shall continue to apply thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Subject in all cases to clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Notes may be made in whole or in part, and all Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Original Indenture or this Article IV or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless upon a Definitive Securities Issuance Date such Note is issued as a Definitive Security.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the date 90 days after the Issuers have received notice from the Depositary pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(2)(A) and have not appointed a successor Depositary or have delivered a Company Order to the Trustee pursuant to Section 401(a)(2)(B) or, in either case, such earlier date as the Issuers elects by written notice to the Trustee (the "***Definitive Securities Issuance Date***"), (x) the Issuers shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons; (y) the Issuers shall execute, and upon a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Definitive Securities in a like aggregate principal amount as the outstanding Global Securities registered, Definitive Securities in such names and authorized denominations as the Depositary shall instruct the Security Registrar in accordance with the Applicable Procedures; and (2) the Security Registrar shall cause the aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Global Securities to be reduced to zero pursuant to Section 4.07. The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names such Definitive Securities are so registered. Neither the Issuers nor the Security Registrar will be liable for any delay by the Depositary in identifying the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security, and each of the Issuers and the Security Registrar may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary for all purposes of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Issuers, the Trustee and every Person who takes or holds any beneficial interest in a Global Security agree that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the Issuers and the Trustee may deal with the Depositary as sole owner of the Global Security and as the authorized representative of such Person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) such Person's rights in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreement between such Person and the Depositary and/or Participants and Indirect Participants of the Depositary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the Depositary and its participants make book-entry transfers of beneficial ownership among, and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Global Securities to, such Persons in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) none of the Issuers, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) subject to the provisions of Section 4.01(c)(2), the Holder of a Global Security shall be entitled to grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Indirect Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants and Indirect Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes; and (y) nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security.

A Holder need not exhaust any recourse that it may have against the Issuers or other Persons before being entitled to full payment from the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee.

SECTION 6.05. <u>Payment Guarantee</u>. The Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

SECTION 6.06. <u>Subrogation</u>.

SECTION 6.08. <u>Notation of Guarantee Not Required</u>. The Parent Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence on any Note of a notation relating to the Guarantee.

SECTION 6.09. <u>Release of the Parent Guarantor</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Parent Guarantor's obligations under the Guarantee shall terminate and be automatically released without the need for any action by any party: (i) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Original Indenture pursuant to Article IV of the Original Indenture; (ii) upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Parent Guarantor; or (iii) upon Parent Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or substantially all of its properties or assets to the Company or another guarantor of the Notes.

In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Indenture and the terms of this Security, the terms of the Indenture control. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, the aggregate principal amount of which is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series authorized for issuance pursuant to the Indenture is limited to the $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series initially authorized for issuance on the Issue Date plus such additional amounts of Securities of this series as may be authorized for issuance from time to time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (except for Securities of this series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of this series pursuant to the Indenture).

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon prior notice, as provided below, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company as set forth in Section 2.05 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Securities of this series are also subject to a Special Mandatory Redemption, as set forth in Section 2.06 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture. If (i) the Chart Merger is not consummated on or before the later of (x) July 28, 2026 and (y) the date that is five business days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) prior to the Outside Date, the Merger Agreement is terminated or (iii) the Company notifies the Trustee under the indenture that the Parent Guarantor will not pursue consummation of the Chart Merger (any such event, a "Special Mandatory Redemption Event"), then the Company will be required to redeem all the Notes (the "Special Mandatory Redemption"), at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein) (subject to the right of holders of such Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Price"). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will have no obligation to monitor, or otherwise inquire into, the status of the Chart Merger.

------

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

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared, or shall automatically become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, except as provided in Section 4.08(b) of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuers, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Indenture and the terms of this Security, the terms of the Indenture control. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, the aggregate principal amount of which is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series authorized for issuance pursuant to the Indenture is limited to the $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series initially authorized for issuance on the Issue Date plus such additional amounts of Securities of this series as may be authorized for issuance from time to time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (except for Securities of this series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of this series pursuant to the Indenture).

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon prior notice, as provided below, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company as set forth in Section 2.05 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will have no obligation to monitor, or otherwise inquire into, the status of the Chart Merger.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Indenture and the terms of this Security, the terms of the Indenture control. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, the aggregate principal amount of which is not limited. The aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series authorized for issuance pursuant to the Indenture is limited to the $2,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series initially authorized for issuance on the Issue Date plus such additional amounts of Securities of this series as may be authorized for issuance from time to time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (except for Securities of this series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of this series pursuant to the Indenture).

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon prior notice, as provided below, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company as set forth in Section 2.05 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If (i) the Chart Merger is not consummated on or before the later of (x) July 28, 2026 and (y) the date that is five business days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) prior to the Outside Date, the Merger Agreement is terminated or (iii) the Company notifies the Trustee under the indenture that the Parent Guarantor will not pursue consummation of the Chart Merger (any such event, a "Special Mandatory Redemption Event"), then the Company will be required to redeem all the Notes (the "Special Mandatory Redemption"), at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein) (subject to the right of holders of such Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Price"). Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee will have no obligation to monitor, or otherwise inquire into, the status of the Chart Merger.

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

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared, or shall automatically become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

We note that by statute, the law of the State of New York provides that a judgment or decree rendered in a currency other than the currency of the United States shall be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree. There is no corresponding Federal statute and no controlling Federal court decision on this issue. Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether a Federal court would award a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or, if it did so, whether it would order conversion of the judgment into U.S. dollars.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the law of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

We hereby consent to the use of our name in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading "Legal Matters" as counsel for the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor who have passed on the validity of the Securities and to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Parent Guarantor's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 11, 2026. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

The opinions expressed herein are rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person, or to make any investigations as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.
