------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Company and the Guarantor with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, the Guarantor or any other person.

Any review by the Representatives or any Underwriter of the Company, the Guarantor, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representatives or such Underwriter and shall not be on behalf of the Company, the Guarantor or any other person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Indemnification and Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Indemnification of the Underwriters.* The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, agents, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of 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, legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company and the Guarantor in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantor.* Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantor, each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, authorized signatories and officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company and the Guarantor by such Underwriter in writing through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing

------

Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following information set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption "Underwriting Conflicts of Interest": the names of the Underwriters provided in paragraph 1 and the table immediately following paragraph 1, paragraph 3, sentences 3 and 4 in paragraph 7 and paragraph 8.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Notice and Procedures.* If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "<u>Indemnified Person</u>") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the "<u>Indemnifying Person</u>") in writing; <u>provided</u> that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses reasonably incurred of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person 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 Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person 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 Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses reasonably incurred shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantor, their respective directors, authorized signatories and officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantor shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person 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 non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to

------

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Contribution.* If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person 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 Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (after deducting discounts and commissions to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantor from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 or the Guarantor or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Limitation on Liability.* The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> 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 paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities 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 Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Non-Exclusive Remedies.* The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives (except as provided in clause (iv) below), by prior notice to the Guarantor, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or the Guarantor shall have been suspended on any exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Defaulting Underwriter</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If, on the Closing Date, any one or more Underwriters defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder and the default exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantor on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any one or more Underwriters, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Guarantor shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become

------

obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of any one or more defaulting Underwriters, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Guarantor may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of U.S. counsel for the Company and the Guarantor or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Guarantor agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term "<u>Underwriter</u>" includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that one or more defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Guarantor shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter's <u>pro</u> <u>rata</u> share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Guarantor as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Guarantor shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantor, except that the Company and the Guarantor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 10 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantor or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent an Underwriter's obligation to purchase Securities hereunder constitutes a BRRD Liability or UK Bail-in Liability (each as defined below) and such Underwriter does not, at the Closing Date, purchase the full amount of the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder due to the exercise by the Relevant Resolution Authority (as defined below) of its powers under the relevant Bail-in Legislation or UK Bail-in Legislation as set forth in Section 12 below with respect to such BRRD Liability or UK Bail-in Liability, as applicable, such Underwriter shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Section 9, to have defaulted on its obligation to purchase such Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder but has not purchased, and this Section 9 shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the obligations of the other Underwriters.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Payment of Expenses</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the out-of-pocket costs incident to the authorization, issuance, initial sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the out-of-pocket costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the out-of-pocket costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Company's and the Guarantor's counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all out-of-pocket expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (ix) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company and the Guarantor in connection with any "road show" presentation to potential investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses reasonably incurred of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Company and the Guarantor shall not be required to pay such costs and expenses where such failure to consummate this Agreement or termination is by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or any BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the 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.

The Issuer expects to deliver the Notes against payment for the Notes on or about May 7, 2026, which will be the fifth business day following April 30, 2026, the date of the pricing of the Notes. Since trades in the secondary market generally settle in one business day, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on any date prior to the business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

which interest shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

of payment to all of the Company's other unsecured indebtedness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10) The Notes are not convertible into shares of common stock or other securities of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11) The restrictive covenants set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture, as amended by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture,

Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note of the same Series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) instructions given by the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the
Participant account to be credited with such increase; 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;(ii) both:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
Certificated Note shall be registered.

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in the Indenture and the applicable Series of Notes, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>1.3.4</u> of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.3 <u>Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Certificated Notes</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.3.3</u> shall apply with respect to the Notes only.

Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Certificated Note duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, reasonably required by the Registrar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.4 <u>Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.3.4</u> shall apply with respect to the Notes only.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note of a Series have been exchanged for Certificated Notes of such Series or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note of a Series is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Certificated Notes of such Series, the principal amount of Notes of the applicable Series represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note of such Series, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.5 <u>General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.3.5</u> shall replace Section 2.7 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No service charge will be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Certificated Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, documentary, transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6 of the Base Indenture).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All Global Notes and Certificated Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Certificated Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Global Notes or Certificated Notes of the applicable Series surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes of a Series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes of such Series for redemption under Section 3.2 of the Base Indenture, as amended by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a regular record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.6 <u>Holders</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.3.6</u> shall replace Section 2.14.6 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

------

Section 1.4. <u>Legend</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.4</u> shall replace Section 2.14.3 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

The following legend will appear in substantially the following form on the face of each Global Note issued under the Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

"THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF,

Section 1.5. <u>Note Guarantees.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.1 <u>Guarantees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to this <u>Section</u> <u>1.5.1</u>, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantees are guarantees of payment and not guarantees of collection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under each of its Note Guarantees are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes of the applicable Series or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the applicable Notes or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee will not be discharged with respect to the corresponding Series of Notes except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes of such Series and the Indenture with respect to the Notes of such Series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantor's Note Guarantee corresponding to such Notes, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders with respect to the Notes of a Series in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby with respect to the Notes of such Series. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders of the applicable Series of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations relating to a Series of Notes guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI of the Base Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantor's corresponding Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations relating to a Series of Notes as provided in Article VI of the Base Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantor's corresponding Note Guarantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2 <u>Limitation on Guarantor Liability</u>. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of a Note, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the corresponding Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor with respect to each Note Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the corresponding Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.3 <u>Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantees</u>. The terms of the Note Guarantees set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>1.5.1</u> do not require the Guarantor to evidence its Note Guarantees through any notation of such Note Guarantees endorsed by an Officer of the Guarantor on any Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. This Sixth Supplemental Indenture will be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each of the Note Guarantees set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>1.5.1</u> hereof will remain in full force and effect without any requirement to endorse on the applicable Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer of the Guarantor whose signature is on this Sixth Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note, the Guarantor's corresponding Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantor's corresponding Note Guarantee set forth in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.4 <u>Releases</u>. Upon legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes of a Series or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes of a Series, in each case, in accordance with Article VIII of the Base Indenture, the Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations with respect to the Notes of such Series under its Note Guarantee to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

If the Guarantor is not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee with respect to the applicable Series of Notes as provided in this <u>Section</u> <u>1.5.4</u>, the Guarantor will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes of such Series and for the other obligations of the Guarantor under the Indenture with respect to such Notes as provided in this <u>Section</u> <u>1.5</u>.

Section 1.6. <u>Selection of Notes to be Redeemed</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.6</u> shall replace Section 3.2 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

If fewer than all of the Notes of a Series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Certificated Notes of such Series for redemption on a *pro rata* basis (or, in the case of Notes of a Series represented by Global Notes, Notes of the applicable Series to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange. The Trustee will not be liable for selections made by it as contemplated in this Section.

Section 1.7. <u>Notice of Redemption</u>. Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended with respect to the Notes only by changing, in the first sentence thereof, the number "30" to the number "10".

Section 1.8. <u>Redemption Upon Changes in Tax Law</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.8</u> shall replace Section 3.10 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

The Company or the Guarantor may redeem any Series of Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice to the Holders of such Notes (which notice will be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date fixed by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, for redemption and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of such Notes on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of such Notes, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Company or the Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it (but not including substitution of the obligor of such Series of Notes and, for avoidance of doubt, in the case of the Guarantor, by causing the payment to be made by the Company), and the requirement arises as a result of:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any amendment to, or change in, or change in the enforcement or interpretation of, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date), or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment, order by a court of competent jurisdiction, action taken by any legislative body or taxing authority, or a change in published administrative practice) which amendment or change becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date).

Neither the Company nor the Guarantor, as applicable, will give any such notice of redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of such Series of Notes was then due, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must be in effect at the time such notice is given. Prior to giving any notice of redemption of the Notes of such Series pursuant to the foregoing, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that there has been such amendment or change which would entitle the Company or the Guarantor to redeem such Notes in accordance with this <u>Section</u> <u>1.8</u>. In addition, before the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, gives notice of redemption of such Notes as described above, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate to the effect that the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Series of Notes by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, taking reasonable measures available to it.

The Trustee will accept and be entitled to rely on such Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of such Series of Notes.

The foregoing will also apply *mutatis mutandis* to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Company or the Guarantor is incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Person on such Series of Notes or the corresponding Note Guarantee, and any political subdivision thereof or therein.

------

Section 1.9. <u>Additional Amounts</u>. This <u>Section</u> <u>1.9</u> shall replace Section 4.6 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All payments made by the Company under or with respect to the Notes, or by the Guarantor with respect to the Note Guarantees, will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, assessment or other governmental charge, including any related interest, penalties or additions to tax ("*Taxes*") unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law or by interpretation or administration of law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Company (or a successor), or the Guarantor (or a successor), is then incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Company, or the Guarantor (including the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent for the Notes of the applicable Series) or any political subdivision thereof or therein (each of clauses (1) and (2), a "*Relevant Tax Jurisdiction*") will at any time be required to be made from any payments made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect to the Notes of the applicable Series, as applicable, or the Guarantor under or with respect to the applicable Note Guarantees, including payments of principal, redemption price, interest or premium, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts (the "*Additional Amounts*") as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each beneficial owner of the applicable Notes after such withholding, deduction or imposition (including any such withholding, deduction or imposition from such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any actual or deemed present or
former connection between the Holder or the beneficial owner of such Notes or Note Guarantees, as applicable, and the Relevant Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, being or having been a national, resident or citizen of, being or having
been engaged in a trade or business in, being or having been physically present in, or having or having had a permanent establishment in, such jurisdiction for Tax purposes), other than the holding of such Note, the enforcement of rights under such
Notes or under the applicable Note Guarantee or the receipt of any payments in respect of such Notes or Note Guarantee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of the applicable Note for payment
(where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the applicable Note been
presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) any Tax imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Company or the Guarantor to the Holder if such Holder is a
fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such Holder been the sole beneficial owner of such Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) any Taxes withheld, deducted or imposed pursuant to the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005, as amended from time to
time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Taxes imposed on or with respect to a payment made to a Holder of such Note who would have been able to avoid such
withholding or deduction by presenting such Note (where presentation is required) to another Paying Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, such Notes or the
applicable Note Guarantee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of
such Note, to comply with any written request of the Company or the Guarantor addressed to the Holder to satisfy any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or
administrative practice of the Relevant Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Relevant Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification
that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in such Relevant Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the Holder or beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such certification or documentation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) any Taxes imposed, deducted or withheld pursuant to section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "*Code* "), or otherwise imposed pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, in each case, as of the applicable Issue Date of the Notes (and any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable), any current
or future regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof or any law implementing an intergovernmental agreement relating thereto; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10) any combination of items (1) through (9) of this <u>Section</u> <u>1.9(a)</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be, will also pay and indemnify the beneficial owner for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) which are levied by a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or any other document or instrument referred to herein, except in the case of Luxembourg, any registration duties (*droits d'enregistrement*) that would become payable upon a voluntary registration made by any party in Luxembourg of the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or any other document or instrument referred to therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, or the Note Guarantees, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises fewer than 45 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Company or the Guarantor will notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officer's Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer's Certificate(s) must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee will be entitled to rely solely on such Officer's Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will make all withholdings and deductions required by law in respect of the Notes and the Note Guarantees, and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the applicable Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company or the Guarantor will use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. Upon reasonable written request, the Company or the Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee (or to a Holder or beneficial owner upon written request), within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or if, notwithstanding such entity's efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) by such entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes of a Series or the applicable Note Guarantee, such mention will be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

------

The obligations in this <u>Section</u> <u>1.9</u> will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company or the Guarantor is incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Person on the applicable Notes (or any Guarantees) and any political subdivision thereof or therein.

Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any Note or Note Guarantee to the contrary, none of the Trustee, the Registrar, any Transfer Agent or any Paying Agent will be required to determine the identity of a beneficial owner or be liable for any determination thereof by the Company or the Guarantor.

(SLB Limited), a corporation with limited liability governed by the laws of Curaçao (the "*Guarantor*") and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee (the "*Trustee*"), registrar, paying agent and transfer agent, as supplemented and amended by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 7, 2026 (the "*Sixth Supplemental Indenture*"), by and among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the "*Indenture*." By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in Series that may vary as to amount, date of Maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This note is one of the Series designated on the face hereof (individually, a "*Note*," and collectively, the "*Notes*"), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes (the "*Holders*").

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Interest</u>. The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.550% per year. The date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be May 7, 2026, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for.

The basis upon which interest shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Exhibit A-4

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Method of Payment</u>. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the persons in whose name such Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Note for such interest payment. In the event that the Notes or a portion thereof are called for redemption and the Redemption Date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Notes will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Notes as provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on the Notes shall be payable in Dollars, at the office of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture, or at the Company's option, by check mailed to the address of the registered Holder or, with respect to any Global Note or upon application by the Holder of a Certificated Note to the specified office of any Paying Agent not less than 15 days before the due date of any payment, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Registrar, Paying Agent, and Transfer Agent</u>. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Registrar; the initial Paying Agent will be The Bank of New York Mellon, in New York; the initial Transfer Agent will be The Bank of New York Mellon, in New York. The Company may change or appoint any Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent without notice to any Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Indenture</u>. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and constitute the Series designated on the face hereof as the "*4.550% Senior Notes due 2031*", initially limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Company will furnish to any Holders upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. Requests may be made to: SLB Limited, 5599 San Felipe Street, Houston, Texas 77056, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Optional Redemption</u>. At any time prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 10 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may, at its option, 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 to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

"*Par Call Date*" means April 7, 2031.

Exhibit A-5

------

"*Treasury Rate*" means, with respect to the Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate will 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 will 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 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 will interpolate to the 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 will 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.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company will 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 Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Notes, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company will select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company will 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 will 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.

Exhibit A-6

------

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine or calculate any rate, price or amount in respect of any optional redemption under the Indenture. The Company's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Denominations, Transfer, Exchange</u>. The Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a regular record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Persons Deemed Owners</u>. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Repayment to the Company</u>. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written request of the Company.

Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Amendment, Supplements and Waivers</u>. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantee in certain circumstances, including: (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (b) to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Notes or the Guarantor's obligations under the Note Guarantee by a successor upon any merger, consolidation or asset transfer or to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Notes by a Subsidiary of the Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Base Indenture; (c) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or

Exhibit A-7

------

in place of Certificated Notes; (d) to provide any security for or guarantees of the Notes or for the addition of an additional obligor on the Notes; (e) to comply with any requirement to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (f) to add covenants that would benefit the Holders of the outstanding Notes or to surrender any rights the Company has under the Indenture; (g) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, *provided* that any such change or elimination will not become effective with respect to any outstanding Securities created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; (h) to provide for the issuance of and establish forms and terms and conditions of a new series of Securities; (i) to issue additional Notes, *provided* that such additional Notes have the same terms as, and will be deemed part of the same series as, the Notes to the extent required under the Indenture; (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as are necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trust by more than one trustee; (k) to add additional Events of Default with respect to Notes; and (l) to make any change that does not adversely affect any of its outstanding Notes in any material respect. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued by the Company may waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to those Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on any Note.

The Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be amended or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, such Notes, except a payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Defaults and Remedies</u>. If an Event of Default for the Company's Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(f) or (g) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may require the Company to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.l(f) or (g) of the Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Company (or with respect to the Guarantor), the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Company's Notes will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Exhibit A-8

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Trustee May Hold Notes</u>. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Certain Others</u>. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or similar founder, stockholder or member of the Company or the Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for or any obligations of the Company or the Guarantor under the Indenture or the Notes, or the Note Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Discharge of Indenture</u>. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Authentication</u>. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs, by manual, facsimile or electronic signature, the certificate of authentication attached to the other side of this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Additional Amounts</u>. The Company is obligated to pay Additional Amounts on this Note to the extent provided in the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Abbreviations</u>. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM(= tenants in common), TEN ENT(= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Governing Law</u>. **THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEE, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE NOTE GUARANTEE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.**

**THE APPLICATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES 470-1 TO 470-19 (INCLUSIVE) OF THE LUXEMBOURG LAW OF 10 AUGUST 1915 ON COMMERCIAL COMPANIES, AS AMENDED, IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Indenture</u>. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and constitute the Series designated on the face hereof as the "*4.800% Senior Notes due 2033*", initially limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

At any time prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 10 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may, at its option, 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 to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

"*Par Call Date*" means March 7, 2033.

Exhibit B-5

------

"*Treasury Rate*" means, with respect to the Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate will 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 will 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 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 will interpolate to the 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 will 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.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company will 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 Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Notes, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company will select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company will 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 will 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.

Exhibit B-6

------

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine or calculate any rate, price or amount in respect of any optional redemption under the Indenture. The Company's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Denominations, Transfer, Exchange</u>. The Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a regular record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Persons Deemed Owners</u>. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Repayment to the Company</u>. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written request of the Company.

Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Amendment, Supplements and Waivers</u>. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantee in certain circumstances, including: (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (b) to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Notes or the Guarantor's obligations under the Note Guarantee by a successor upon any merger, consolidation or asset transfer or to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Notes by a Subsidiary of the Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Base Indenture; (c) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or

Exhibit B-7

------

in place of Certificated Notes; (d) to provide any security for or guarantees of the Notes or for the addition of an additional obligor on the Notes; (e) to comply with any requirement to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (f) to add covenants that would benefit the Holders of the outstanding Notes or to surrender any rights the Company has under the Indenture; (g) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, *provided* that any such change or elimination will not become effective with respect to any outstanding Securities created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; (h) to provide for the issuance of and establish forms and terms and conditions of a new series of Securities; (i) to issue additional Notes, *provided* that such additional Notes have the same terms as, and will be deemed part of the same series as, the Notes to the extent required under the Indenture; (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as are necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trust by more than one trustee; (k) to add additional Events of Default with respect to Notes; and (l) to make any change that does not adversely affect any of its outstanding Notes in any material respect. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued by the Company may waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to those Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on any Note.

The Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be amended or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, such Notes, except a payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Defaults and Remedies</u>. If an Event of Default for the Company's Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(f) or (g) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may require the Company to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.l(f) or (g) of the Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Company (or with respect to the Guarantor), the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Company's Notes will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Exhibit B-8

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Trustee May Hold Notes</u>. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Certain Others</u>. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or similar founder, stockholder or member of the Company or the Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for or any obligations of the Company or the Guarantor under the Indenture or the Notes, or the Note Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Discharge of Indenture</u>. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Authentication</u>. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs, by manual, facsimile or electronic signature, the certificate of authentication attached to the other side of this Note.

"*Par Call Date*" means February 7, 2036.

Exhibit C-5

------

"*Treasury Rate*" means, with respect to the Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate will 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 will 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 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 will interpolate to the 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 will 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.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company will 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 Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Notes, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company will select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company will 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 will 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.

Exhibit C-6

------

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine or calculate any rate, price or amount in respect of any optional redemption under the Indenture. The Company's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Denominations, Transfer, Exchange</u>. The Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a regular record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Persons Deemed Owners</u>. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written request of the Company.

in place of Certificated Notes; (d) to provide any security for or guarantees of the Notes or for the addition of an additional obligor on the Notes; (e) to comply with any requirement to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (f) to add covenants that would benefit the Holders of the outstanding Notes or to surrender any rights the Company has under the Indenture; (g) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, *provided* that any such change or elimination will not become effective with respect to any outstanding Securities created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; (h) to provide for the issuance of and establish forms and terms and conditions of a new series of Securities; (i) to issue additional Notes, *provided* that such additional Notes have the same terms as, and will be deemed part of the same series as, the Notes to the extent required under the Indenture; (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as are necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trust by more than one trustee; (k) to add additional Events of Default with respect to Notes; and (l) to make any change that does not adversely affect any of its outstanding Notes in any material respect. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued by the Company may waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to those Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on any Note.

The Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be amended or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, such Notes, except a payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Defaults and Remedies</u>. If an Event of Default for the Company's Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(f) or (g) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may require the Company to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.l(f) or (g) of the Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Company (or with respect to the Guarantor), the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Company's Notes will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Exhibit C-8

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Trustee May Hold Notes</u>. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Certain Others</u>.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Discharge of Indenture</u>. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Governing Law</u>. **THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEE, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE NOTE GUARANTEE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.**

Re: *Schlumberger Investment S.A. and SLB N.V. (SLB Limited)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-295427)* 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Schlumberger Investment S.A., a *société anonyme* organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the "<u>Company</u>") and SLB N.V. (SLB Limited), a Curaçao company (the "<u>Guarantor</u>"), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Commission</u>") of a Registration Statement on Form S-3, file no. 333-295427 (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), the prospectus included therein, the prospectus supplement, dated April 30, 2026, filed with the Commission on May 1, 2026 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act (the "<u>Prospectus Supplement</u>"), and the offering by the Company pursuant thereto of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.550% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "<u>2031</u> <u>Notes</u>"), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.800% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "<u>2033</u> <u>Notes</u>"), and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.150% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "<u>2036</u> <u>Notes</u>" and, together with the 2031 Notes and the 2033 Notes, the "<u>Notes</u>").

The Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of December 3, 2013, among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon (the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as previously amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2020, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (as so amended, the "<u>Base Indenture</u>"), as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the date hereof, relating to the Notes (the "<u>Supplemental Indenture</u>" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>"), between the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, and are guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Indenture by the Guarantor (the "<u>Guarantee</u>").

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantee and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and the Guarantor and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions. In our examination, we have assumed, without independent

investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company, the Guarantor and others.

We are not admitted or qualified to practice law in Luxembourg or Curaçao. Therefore, we have relied upon the opinions of Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg SARL and STvB Advocaten (Europe) N.V., filed as exhibits to the Guarantor's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 7, 2026, with respect to matters governed by the laws of Luxembourg and Curaçao.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Notes are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, and the Guarantee of the Notes is a legal, valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor obligated thereon, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

The opinion expressed above is subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations and assumptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York and the United States of America. This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the laws of the State of New York and the United States of America and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The opinions above are each subject to (i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers, and (ii) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. We express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of (i) any waiver of stay, extension or usury laws or of unknown future rights; (ii) any waiver (whether or not stated as such) under the Indenture, the Guarantee or the certificates evidencing the global Notes (collectively, the "<u>Specified Note Documents</u>") of, or any consent thereunder relating to, unknown future rights or the rights of any party thereto existing, or duties owing to it, as a matter of law; (iii) any waiver (whether or not stated as such) contained in the Specified Note Documents of rights of any party, or duties owing to it, that is broadly or vaguely stated or does not describe the right or duty purportedly waived with reasonable specificity; (iv) provisions relating to indemnification, exculpation or contribution, to the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to public policy or federal or state securities laws or due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party; (v) any purported fraudulent transfer

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name under the caption "Validity of the Securities" in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **2** | **ACCURACY OF INFORMATION**  |

---

2.1 Corporate documents of, and court orders affecting, the Company may not be available at the RCS forthwith upon

reporting and publication obligations.

2.2 Documents relating to a Luxembourg company whose publication is required by law will only be valid towards
third parties from the day of their publication with the Electronic Register of Companies and Associations (*Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations)*, unless the company proves that the relevant third parties had prior

knowledge thereof.

2.3 The Articles, the Excerpt and the RCS Certificate do not constitute conclusive evidence whether or not a winding-up, administration petition or order has been presented or made, a receiver has been appointed, an arrangement with creditors has been proposed or approved or any other Insolvency Proceedings have commenced.

| **4** | **MISCELLANEOUS**  |

---

4.1 The opinions expressed herein may be affected by general principles and defences under Luxembourg law, such as
the principles of reasonableness and fairness, good faith, abuse of rights, modification on grounds of unforeseen circumstances, limitations by criminal law, undue influence, force majeure, the right to suspend performance as long as the other party
is in default in respect of its obligations, the right to set-off and the right to dissolve a transaction upon default by the other party.

4.2 An electronic signature satisfying the provisions of article 1322-1 of
the Luxembourg Civil Code or constituting a 'qualified electronic signature' within the meaning of the eIDAS Regulation, has equivalent effect to a handwritten signature, and is, except in certain limited cases, valid for the purpose of
the execution of an agreement under private seal *(acte sous seing privé*). An electronic signature, which does not satisfy the above conditions, will not be considered as equivalent to a handwritten signature, but it shall not be denied
legal effect and admissibility as evidence in legal proceedings. However, such electronic signature does not benefit from the presumption of equivalence and is not binding upon Luxembourg court, which has full discretion to accept such signature as
evidence. We express no opinion as to the legal qualification of any signature in electronic form.

4.3 A Luxembourg company may only enter into transactions which are in its corporate interest. The question of
whether or not a transaction is in a company's corporate interest, is largely dependent on factual considerations and the responsibility for such assessment is that of the board of directors or managers of the relevant company. If any such
transaction is subsequently held to be contrary to a company's corporate interest, it could be held to be null and void.

4.4 We express no opinion on general defences under Luxembourg law, such as duress, deceit (*dol*) or mistake
(*erreur*).

4.5 The registration of the Opinion Documents (and any documents in connection therewith) with the Registration,
Estates and VAT Department (*Administration de l'enregistrement, des domaines et de la TVA*) in Luxembourg is required in case the Opinion Documents (and any documents in connection therewith) are (i) attached to a deed which itself
must be registered (*acte obligatoirement enregistrable*) or (ii) deposited with a notary (*déposé au rang des minutes d'un notaire*). Even if registration is not required by law, the Opinion Documents (and
any documents in connection therewith) can be registered (*présenté à l'enregistrement*). In that case, registration duties will apply in the form of a fixed amount or an *ad valorem* amount depending on the
nature of the document. Luxembourg courts or other Luxembourg authorities may require that the Opinion Documents (and any documents in connection therewith) are translated into French, German or Luxembourgish.

SLB N.V.

Houston, Texas 77056-2722

United States of America

May 7, 2026

**Re: SLB N.V. (also referred to as SLB Limited)** 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as legal counsel to SLB N.V. (also referred to as SLB Limited), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Curaçao (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the filing by the Company and Schlumberger Investment SA, a public company limited by shares (*<u>société anonyme</u>*) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("SISA"), of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-295427) (the "Registration Statement"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the registration under the Act of (i) senior unsecured debt securities of SISA (the "Debt Securities") and (ii) a guarantee of the Debt Securities by the Company, that may be issued and sold from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act, certain legal matters in connection with the Notes and the Guarantee (as defined below) are being passed upon for you by us. At your request, this opinion is being furnished to you for filing as Exhibit 5 to the Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission. A related prospectus dated April 30, 2026 and a prospectus supplement dated April 30, 2026 relating to the Notes and the Guarantee (as defined below) (collectively the "Prospectus") have been filed by SISA and the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act.

On April 30, 2026, SISA and the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Standard Chartered Bank, as representatives of the several underwriters (collectively the "Underwriters"), providing for the issuance and sale by SISA to the Underwriters of USD 500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.550% Senior Notes due 2031, USD 500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.800% Senior Notes due 2033 and USD 1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.150% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "Notes"), to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantee") by the Company, as guarantor.

This opinion is limited to matters governed by the laws of Curaçao.

------

We have reviewed each of the Articles of Incorporation, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, each as amended to date, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Indenture (the "Base Indenture") among SISA, the Company, as guarantor, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, registrar, paying agent and transfer agent (the "Trustee"), in the form of Exhibit 4.1 to the Registration Statement, the Second Supplemental Indenture (the "Second Supplemental Indenture"), among SISA, the Company, as guarantor, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, registrar, paying agent and transfer agent (the "Trustee"), in the form of Exhibit 4.2 to the Registration Statement (the "Second Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture the "Indenture"), the Sixth Supplemental Indenture among SISA, the Company and the Trustee, in the form of Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, pursuant to which the Notes will be issued, and the Underwriting Agreement; have familiarized ourselves with the matters discussed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and have examined all statutes and other records, instruments and corporate documents pertaining to the Company and the matters discussed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that we deem necessary to examine for the purpose of this opinion. We have assumed that all signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are accurate and complete, that all documents submitted to us as copies are true and correct copies of the originals thereof and that all information submitted to us was accurate and complete.

Based upon our examination as aforesaid, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company has been duly incorporated under the laws of the former Netherlands Antilles and is currently
validly existing as a limited liability company (*<u>naamloze vennootschap</u>*) under the laws of Curaçao.

2. The Guarantee has been duly authorized and the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Company.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Current Report on Form 8-K. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

We understand that Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP intends to rely upon this opinion for purposes of the opinion such firm expects to deliver in connection with the Notes and the Guarantee and we hereby consent to such reliance as though this opinion were addressed to such firm.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ STvB Advocaten (Europe) N.V.
