MOBILEYE

GENERAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

 

1.
SCOPE

 

The
terms and conditions of sale contained herein shall apply to all quotations and sales made by Mobileye Technologies Limited or
its fellow group companies (the relevant entity as named on the quote, order acknowledgement form or invoice), referred to here
as “Seller” or “Mobileye”), to all Purchase Orders ("POs") submitted by the purchaser (“Buyer”)
and accepted by Mobileye for the manufacture, sale and supply of Mobileye products ("Products"). These terms and conditions
may in some instances conflict with the terms and conditions affixed to the POs or other procurement documents issued by Buyer
or oral and written exchanges between the parties. In all such cases, except if included in a signed express agreement or an official
quotation to the contrary, the terms and conditions herein shall govern and prevail. None of the Buyer's conditions of purchase
shall apply.

 

Any
changes in the terms and conditions of sale contained herein must specifically be agreed to in writing by a corporate officer
of Mobileye before becoming binding on either party. Mobileye reserves the right to make amendments or additions to these Terms
and Conditions. Where Software1 is supplied by Seller to Buyer, whether or not in combination with products, Buyer acknowledges
that use of that Software is governed by Seller or third party software license terms and conditions applicable to that software.
All the conditions herein included shall also apply to the supply of software so long as they are not inconsistent with the applicable
software license terms and conditions.

 

2.
PRICE AND PACKAGING

 

Billings
for products and services will be at the prices as agreed between Seller and Buyer (per agreement, price list, quotation and alike).
In cases of contradiction, unless expressly agreed in writing by a corporate officer of Mobileye, the following order of precedence
shall apply: First: agreement; Second: quotation; Third: price list; Fourth: other document. Prices are subject to change at any
time prior to Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s PO. Unless otherwise stated, all prices are Ex-Works INCOTERMS 2000,
exclusive of taxes and other charges such as but not limited to import duties, brokerage fees, handling and other charges.

 

Prices
are based on current economic and financial conditions at the date of quotation of Mobileye; they are liable at any time to be
adjusted to take account of any fluctuation in such conditions.

 

In the
event that Buyer is prohibited by applicable law from making payments hereunder free of taxes, VAT, deductions or withholdings
or whether such taxes are charged by Seller, then Buyer will pay such additional amounts to Mobileye as may be necessary in order
that the actual amount received after deduction or withholding (and after payment of any taxes, additional taxes or other charges
payable as a consequence of the payment of such additional amount) will equal the amount that would have been received by Mobileye
if such tax, VAT, deduction or withholding was not required. Buyer will pay any and all applicable levies and duties, or taxes
imposed by any governmental authority pertaining to the purchase of Products.

Terms and Conditions of Sale

DELIVERIES

 

3.1.
Any PO submitted is subject to acceptance by Mobileye. Mobileye reserves the right to reject any PO in full or in part or to apply
a maximum order amount. All orders for Hardware are subject to Mobileye’s standard Lead-time of 17 weeks and if applicable,
stock availability. Lead-time may change due to changes in the purchasing landscape.

 

3.2
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller, delivery shall be made and transfer of risk shall take place Ex-Works INCOTERMS
2000 ("Seller’s warehouse"). Carriage of products shall be at Buyer's own risk. Subject to Seller's right of stoppage
in transit, delivery of the Products to the carrier shall constitute delivery to Buyer and title and risk of loss shall thereupon
pass to Buyer (the carrier shall not be deemed an agent of Seller). Selection of the Seller’s warehouse shall be made solely
by Seller. If the Products perished while in the custody of the carrier, the Seller shall be deemed to have performed its obligations
in full. If Buyer refuses or neglects to take delivery of the Products, Seller reserves the right to charge Buyer for the reasonable
cost of storing the Products until delivery can be made. If delivery to Buyer should fail for any reason outside of Sellers’
control, Seller in its sole discretion, reserves the right to cancel the PO and refund any monies paid. If Seller delivers a Product
to Buyer by mistake, Buyer shall immediately inform Seller of its mistake and Buyer shall, at Seller’s request, immediately
arrange for the return of the Product (the costs of which shall be met by Seller). Delivery of a quantity, which varies from the
quantity specified, shall not relieve Buyer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered.

 

3.3
Any delivery dates quoted for delivery by Seller are estimates only. Buyer agrees to accept the delivery date for the products
as determined by Seller, in Seller’s order acknowledgment form or equivalent document.

 

3.4
Seller reserves the right to allocate production and deliveries among its various customers at Seller’s sole discretion
and under any circumstances.

 

3.5
In the event of any default by Buyer, Seller may decline to make further shipments or may elect to continue to make shipments
notwithstanding such default.

 

3.6
Orders accepted by the Seller are firm and non cancelable by the Buyer except (i) upon Seller’s default which shall not
have been corrected within 30 days from Buyer's notice to such effect or (ii) upon Seller’s written agreement, which shall
only be considered on a case by case basis and shall be subject to appropriate indemnification by Buyer for costs and lost profit
incurred by Seller.

 

3.7
Failure to deliver by the due date shall not give Buyer any right to compensation nor impose any responsibility or liability on
Seller.

 

3.7.1
Any claim regarding non-conformity of products with specifications will be accepted by Seller only if each of the following three
conditions have been met:

 

3.7.1.1
The Buyer's claim must be submitted in writing to Seller within one month after delivery date. After such one month period has
expired, all products shall be deemed accepted. After agreement with Seller, Buyer shall return the whole batch of non-accepted
products. Each allegedly non-conforming batch of products must be accompanied by the precise reason for rejection and the corresponding
test report and proof of purchase;

 

3.7.1.2
The return must be made at the Buyer's cost; and

 

3.7.1.3
Products must not have been modified or damaged or manipulated for any reason whatsoever.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

MOBILEYE

General
Terms and Conditions of Sale

 

3.8
The provisions of paragraph 3.7 above shall not apply to batches of products accepted by Buyer in Seller’s factory.

 

4.
PRODUCTS SPECIFICATIONS

 

Specifications
for products shall be Seller’s specifications, except if particular specifications are given by Buyer and accepted by Seller.

 

Except
as otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Seller, Seller reserves the right to change at any time the specifications of any
product manufactured by Seller (including all statements and data appearing in Seller’s catalogues, data sheets and advertisements)
without notice.

 

5.
PAYMENT TERMS

 

All
prices quoted shall be EXW (Ex-Works INCOTERMS 2000), Sellers’ warehouse. Subject at any time to Seller’s credit approval,
payment shall be made by Buyer for products cash upon receipt of invoice except as otherwise agreed in writing. Failure to pay
an invoice in the stipulated period shall permit Seller, without further notice and without prejudice to any other rights it may
have, to cancel any discount which may have been granted to Buyer on the said invoice, as well as to charge interest equal to
the maximum allowed by an applicable law, for the full duration of the payment delay. Seller reserves the right at any time to
require full or partial payment in advance of delivery.

 

Unless
otherwise agreed in writing, all payments are to be in United States dollars. No part of any amount payable to Seller hereunder
may be reduced due to any counterclaim, charge back, offset, adjustment, withholding or other right which Buyer may have against
Seller, any other party or otherwise. In the event Seller is required to bring legal action to collect delinquent accounts, Buyer
agrees to pay reasonable attorney's fees and cost of suit and collection.

 

6.
FORCE MAJEURE

 

Neither
party shall be responsible or liable for any delay or failure in performance arising as a result of any occurrence or contingency
beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, capacity constraints, accident, act of God, acts of the public enemy,
earthquake, fire, flood, labor disputes, strikes, riots, civil commotion, war (declared or not), unanticipated manufacturing problems,
novelty of products, requirements or acts of any government or agency thereof, judicial action, inability to secure materials
on a timely basis (except if such inability results from negligence of Seller) and failure or delays in transportation. The delayed
party shall send written notice of the delay and the reason therefore to the other party as soon as possible after the party delayed
knew of the cause of delay in question.

 

7.
WARRANTY

 

7.1.
Subject to the terms hereof, Seller warrants that its products shall conform to the applicable specifications referred to in Section
4 for a period of thirty (30) months from delivery. This warranty shall not apply: (i) if products have been damaged; or (ii)
if products have been submitted to abnormal conditions (mechanical, electrical or thermal) during storage installation or use;
or (iii) if products are used in a non-standard environment. A non standard environment is an environment requiring a robustness
not documented in the applicable specification such as without limitation, space, military and or nuclear environments; or (iv)
to products supplied at request of Buyer which Seller has indicated may not conform (risk products) to applicable technical specifications
or constitute experimental, developmental or non-qualified products; or (v) if the non-conformance of products results from excess
usage of the maximum values (temperature limit, maximum voltage...) defined by Seller, or from an incorrect choice of application
by Buyer, or from use other than in accordance with the relevant specification or

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

MOBILEYE

General
Terms and Conditions of Sale

 

(vi)
to those products referred to in clause 7.2; or (vii) to any other default not attributable to Seller. If Seller determines the
products are non-conforming, Seller will, at Seller’s option, repair or replace the non-conforming products, or issue a
credit or rebate of the purchase price. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR TERMS EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED BY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABLE QUALITY OR SATISFACTORY QUALITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USAGE).

 

Seller
may assign the responsibilities under this section to its manufacturer.

 

7.2.
Seller’s products are not designed nor are they authorized for use in life supporting devices or systems. Seller expressly
disclaims any responsibility for such usage which shall be made at Buyer's sole risk, even if Vendor has been informed in writing
of such usage. Buyer shall indemnify Seller, its officers, employees and affiliates against all claims arising directly or indirectly
from Buyer's incorporation of the products in any application or system where failure of the product could lead to death or personal
injury.

 

8.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES

 

SELLER
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY UNDER THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR LOSS ARISING FROM ANY CLAIM MADE AGAINST BUYER, OR
FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF USE, BASED
ON ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT OF VENDOR, INCLUDING ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT ARISING FROM INFRINGEMENT OR ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT,
TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT, MASK WORK RIGHT, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT. BUYER'S SOLE REMEDY AND SELLER’S SOLE AND TOTAL
LIABILITY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT (INCLUDING BREACH OF WARRANTY) OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR MISREPRESENTATION)
OR UNDER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE LIMITED TO AND SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE ALLOCABLE TO THE PRODUCTS AND OR SOFTWARE WHICH
GIVES RISE TO THE CLAIMS. BUYER SHALL ALWAYS INFORM VENDOR OF ANY BREACH AND AFFORD IT REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT THE BREACH.

 

9.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

 

9.1
Because of the complexity of manufacturing techniques for electronic components and of the intellectual property rights pertaining
thereto, Seller is not able to declare that its products do not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. In
the event that a third party makes a claim alleging that products delivered to Buyer infringe such third party's intellectual
property rights, Seller undertakes at its option and charge to either defend the claim or seek a compromise; or indemnify Buyer
if an unfavorable and final judgment is rendered against Buyer. If an unfavorable and final judgment is rendered against Seller,
it shall at its option take out a license from the above mentioned third party or shall modify the products in such a way as to
avoid infringement. If such a solution shall be impracticable for economic and/or technical reasons, Seller shall accept the return
of the product supplied and shall reimburse the Buyer up to a maximum equal to the amount paid by the Buyer for the products deemed
to infringe. The preceding indemnification shall only be due by the Seller provided that (1) for software, the alleged infringement
is related to the detailed specific function software implementation of Mobileye software (infringements that involve use of or
combination of hardware, optics, camera sensor, human machine interface or anything else not directly related to the manner in
which the Product functions were implemented are not indemnified by Mobileye) (2) Buyer promptly notifies Seller in writing of
the claim of infringement (3) Upon Seller’s request only, Buyer

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

MOBILEYE

General
Terms and Conditions of Sale

 

allows
Seller to control and co-operates with Seller in the defense and any related settlement action.

 

Furthermore,
such indemnification does not apply to any claims of infringement involving products made, provided or modified by Seller in compliance
with the requirements or specifications of Buyer, from the combination or use of a product supplied with any other product, even
if such product has no substantial use other than as part of such combination or use, or from any modification to the programming
of products made other than by Seller. Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller against all damages and costs resulting from any such
claims of infringement made against Seller. The above provisions constitute the entire undertaking of Seller towards Buyer in
the event of any intellectual property right claim of a third party with regard to products supplied by Seller.

 

9.2
All raw data (video) being recorded during a project can be used for development and validation purposes by both parties outside
of the project and for any purpose. The raw data, however, cannot be transferred to 3rd parties by the party which has not recorded
the data. All "meta" data, which includes annotation of customer functions developed by Mobileye, whether automatically
generated by the algorithm, or manually annotated by Mobileye, are the property of Mobileye and cannot be used for purposes other
than the project without explicit approval by Mobileye. Each party will own the technology, Intellectual Property and generated
software code during the project that was generated by that party. Ownership allows the party to modify, adapt or extend in any
manner and for any purpose.

 

10.
JURISDICTION - APPLICABLE LAW

 

In case
of dispute and in the absence of an amicable settlement, the only competent jurisdiction shall be that of the Courts of New York,
NY, USA. The applicable law shall be the law of New York, USA. The UN Convention on contracts for the International Sales of Goods
shall not apply to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

 

11.
GENERAL

 

11.1.
Severance. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and
these General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein.

 

11.2.
Export Control Laws. Buyer undertakes to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, decrees and ordinances, related to the
Buyer's use, sale or transfer of products supplied hereunder.

 

11.3.
Waiver. A waiver of a breach or default under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall not be a waiver of any subsequent
default. Failure of Seller to enforce compliance with any term or condition hereof shall not constitute a waiver of such term
or condition.

 

11.4.
Software. 1. Title to Software including without limitation copyright, is owned by Seller or Seller licensors and no title is
transferred to Buyer. 2. Buyer shall not copy, modify, translate, disassemble or decompile the Software. Buyer shall use the Software
in connection with the product and not otherwise. The Software may only be transferred when the product to which it relates is
transferred. The rights granted in this Clause 11.4 may be terminated in the event of a breach by Buyer of any of the terms of
these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

 

11.5.
No licenses. No license under any intellectual property right of Seller is granted herein except the right to use or resell any
product patented by Seller and sold by Seller to Buyer.

mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon any of its or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ properties or assets (a “Lien”), whether owned on the date of issuance of the Notes or thereafter acquired, unless
the Notes are at least equally and ratably secured with such secured Indebtedness (together with, if the Company so determines, any other Indebtedness of or guaranty by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created
that is not subordinated to the Notes) for so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured (and any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and any other debt securities of any series issued pursuant to the Indenture and having the
benefit of this Section 2.8 shall provide by its terms that such Lien will be automatically released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien securing such other Indebtedness); provided, however, that the
above restrictions shall not apply to the following (the “Permitted Liens”): 
 (i) Liens on property or other
assets of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(ii) Liens on property or other assets existing at the time of acquisition by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such acquisition; 
 (iii) Liens on property or assets to secure

operation of such real property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of such real property, the construction thereof or the making of improvements thereto; 

(iv) Liens in the Company’s favor or in favor of a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(v) Liens existing on the date of issuance of the Notes; 

(vi) Liens on property or other assets of a Person existing at the time the Person is merged into or consolidated with the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a Person as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to either the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Lien was
not incurred in anticipation of the merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition; 

  
 6 

 (vii) Liens arising in connection with the financing of accounts receivable by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the uncollected amount of account receivables subject at any time to any such financing shall not exceed $150,000,000; and 

(viii) extensions, renewals or replacements (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any
Lien referred to in this Section 2.8 without increase of the principal of the Indebtedness (plus any premium or fee payable in connection with any such extension, renewal or replacement) secured by the Lien; provided,
however, that any Permitted Liens shall not extend to or cover any property of the Company or that of any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, other than the property specified in this Section 2.8 and improvements to this
property. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may create, assume, incur or guarantee Indebtedness
secured by a Lien without equally and ratably securing the Notes; provided, that at the time of such creation, assumption, incurrence or guarantee, after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any Indebtedness that is concurrently being
retired, the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens other than Permitted Liens, and (ii) the Attributable Debt of all the Company’s Sale/Leaseback Transactions permitted by
Section 2.9(c) does not at such time exceed 5% of Consolidated Total Assets. 
 Section 2.9. Limitations on Sale and
Leaseback Transactions. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement
relating to property now owned or hereafter acquired whereby either the Company transfers, or any Restricted Subsidiary transfers, such property to a Person and either the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary leases it back from such Person (a
“Sale/Leaseback Transaction”), unless: 
 (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could, at the time of
entering into such arrangement, incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the property involved in the transaction in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, without equally and ratably
securing the Notes as described in Section 2.8; or 
 (ii) the net proceeds of the Sale/Leaseback Transaction are
at least equal to such property’s fair market value, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, and the proceeds are applied within 180 days of the effective date of the Sale/Leaseback Transaction to the repayment of senior
indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (b) The restrictions set forth in (a) above will not apply to a
Sale/Leaseback Transaction: (i) entered into prior to the date of issuance of the Notes; (ii) that exists at the time any Person that owns property or assets becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) between the Company and a Restricted
Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries; (iv) involving leases

commencement of full operations of such property or asset, whichever is latest. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained above, the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale/Leaseback Transaction; provided that at the time of such transaction, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to Sale/Leaseback
Transactions existing at such time that could not have been entered into pursuant to the restrictions in (a) above, together with the aggregate amount of all outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens as permitted by Section 2.8(b),
does not at such time exceed 5% of Consolidated Total Assets.

partnership or trust organized under the laws of the United States of America, any State or the District of Columbia; (ii) immediately following the consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity (if
other than the Company) would not be in default in the performance of any covenant in the Indenture; and (iii) the Company delivers a supplemental indenture by which the surviving entity (if other than the Company) expressly assumes the
Company’s obligations under the Indenture. 
 (b) In the event that the Company consolidates or merges with another entity or sells all
or substantially all of its assets to another entity, the surviving entity (if other than the Company) will be substituted for the Company under the Indenture, and the Company will be discharged from all of its obligations under the Indenture. 

Section 2.11. Events of Default. 

(a) The term “Event of Default” as used in this Indenture with respect to the Notes shall include the following described event in
addition to those set forth in Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture: 
 (i) The Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
fail to pay the principal of any Indebtedness when due at maturity in an aggregate amount of $50 million or more, or a default occurs that results in the acceleration of the maturity of the Company’s or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries’
Indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $50 million or more; 
 Section 2.12. Appointment of Agents. The Trustee shall initially be

its right to redeem the Notes as provided in Article Four of the Base Indenture, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described in this
Section 2.13 (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 (b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the
Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to
each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the
date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is
conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the
form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the
applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third business day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 

(d) Holders will not be entitled to require the Company to purchase their Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization, leveraged buyout
or similar transaction that is not a Change of Control. In addition, Holders may not be entitled to require the Company to purchase their Notes in certain circumstances involving a significant change in the composition of the Company’s Board of
Directors, including in connection with a proxy contest where the Company’s Board of Directors does not approve a dissident slate of directors but approves them as required by clause (4) of Section 1.1(e)(ii). 

(e) Notwithstanding this Section 2.13, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) of
Section 1.1(e)(ii) if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) (A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following
that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the
requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. 

  
 9 

 (f) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions
of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 2.14. Defeasance Upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations.
At the Company’s option, either (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes on the first day after the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12.03 of the Base
Indenture have been satisfied or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 10.02 of the Base Indenture and Sections 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10 of
this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes at any time after the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture have been satisfied.

Securities referred 
 to in the Indenture.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF 2019 NOTE] 

Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the
“Note” or collectively, the “Notes”), issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2010, as supplemented by a Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated July 16,
2014 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $450,000,000.

 Optional Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time prior
to July 15, 2019 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and (ii) the sum, as determined by an
Independent Investment Banker, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.  

Commencing on June 15, 2019, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any
redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains
fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations or, if only one such Quotation is obtained, such Quotation. 

 “Independent Investment Banker” means an independent investment banking institution of
national standing appointed by the Company, which may be one of the Reference Treasury Dealers. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer”
means (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and their respective successors, and (2) any other primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City that the Company selects
(each, a “Reference Treasury Dealer”). 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date for the Notes, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for
the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is
within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), (2) if the period from the Redemption Date to the maturity date of the notes to be redeemed is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States
Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used, or (3) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum
equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such
Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. 
 Notice of any redemption
shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on
the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date, and unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions of the Notes called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, and such Notes are at the time represented by a Global Security, the Depositary shall select by lot the particular interests to be redeemed. If the
Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the Notes, and any of such Notes are not represented by a Global Security, then the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed in a manner it deems appropriate and fair (and the Depositary
shall select by lot the particular interests in any Global Security to be redeemed). 

 The Company may at any time, and from time to time, purchase the Notes at any price or prices in
the open market or otherwise. 
 Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing,
the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 Amendment,
Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by
the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit the incurrence of
additional debt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; however, it does limit the creation of certain Liens and the entry into sale and leaseback transactions by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The limitations are subject to a
number of important qualifications and exceptions. Once a year, the Company must report to the Trustee on its compliance with these limitations. 

Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000
and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any different authorized denomination
or denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, including Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written
request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of any different authorized denomination or denominations
and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 No service charge shall be made
for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to
Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.  
 Defined Terms. All terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 the
Securities referred

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF 2044 NOTE] 

Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the
“Note” or collectively, the “Notes”), issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2010, as supplemented by a Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated July 16,
2014 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000.

 Optional Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and (ii) the sum, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker,
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.  

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any
redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains
fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations or, if only one such Quotation is obtained, such Quotation. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company,
which may be one of the Reference Treasury Dealers. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and their respective successors, and (2) any other primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City that the Company selects (each, a “Reference Treasury Dealer”).

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any Redemption Date for the Notes, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for
the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is
within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), (2) if the period from the Redemption Date to the maturity date of the notes to be redeemed is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States
Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used, or (3) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum
equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such
Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. 
 Notice of any redemption
shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on
the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date, and unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions of the Notes called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, and such Notes are at the time represented by a Global Security, the Depositary shall select by lot the particular interests to be redeemed. If the
Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the Notes, and any of such Notes are not represented by a Global Security, then the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed in a manner it deems appropriate and fair (and the Depositary
shall select by lot the particular interests in any Global Security to be redeemed). 
 The Company may at any time, and from time to time,
purchase the Notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise. 

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

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of
any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit the incurrence of additional debt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
however, it does limit the creation of certain Liens and the entry into sale and leaseback transactions by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Once a
year, the Company must report to the Trustee on its compliance with these limitations. 
 Denominations, Transfer and
Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any different authorized denomination or denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture,
the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by
the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of any different authorized denomination or denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Persons Deemed
Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent shall of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
