[TITLE OF SECURITY/SERIES] 

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture as defined on the reverse of this Security), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to                , or registered assigns, the principal sum of [Insert Principal Amount] ($[Insert Numeric Principal Amount]) on [Insert Maturity] and to pay
interest thereon, calculated as set forth below, on [Insert Interest Payment Dates] in each year, commencing on [Insert First Interest Payment Date] and at the Maturity of the principal hereof, at the rate of [Insert Fixed Annual
Rate] % per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest at the rate of [Insert Same Fixed Rate]% per annum (to the extent that
the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date any such overdue installment first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any installment of interest that is
overdue shall be payable on demand, subject to the provisions in the Indenture. 
 On each Interest Payment Date or at the Maturity of the
principal hereof, the amount of interest payable will equal the principal sum hereof multiplied by an accrued interest factor for the Interest Period. The Interest Period will be the period from and including the Original Issue Date, or the
last date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be (subject to “Payments Due on a Business Day” below). The accrued interest factor will be
determined by multiplying the annual interest rate times the number of days in the Interest Period in respect of which payment is being made, divided by [IF ACTUAL/365 (FIXED) DAY COUNT CONVENTION APPLIES, INSERT
— 365] [IF ACTUAL/360 DAY COUNT CONVENTION APPLIES, INSERT — 360] [IF 30/360 (ISDA) DAY COUNT CONVENTION APPLIES, INSERT — 360, to be calculated on a formula basis as follows (such formula, the “30/360

be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the [if Global Security, insert — calendar
day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below)] [if not a Global Security, insert alternative provision acceptable to Trustee and Registrar] next preceding such Interest Payment Date (or, if such interest is to be paid on another day
as provided below, next preceding such other day). Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or made available for payment, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such
Defaulted Interest may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof being given to the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this
Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Global Corporate Trust, on or before the fifth Business Day before the day on which such payment is to be made;
provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.
Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the fifth Business
Day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such payment and all later payments. In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person
who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date. The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.]

Union of February 1992 (or any successor treaty), as it may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, any payment in respect of this Security may

the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 

Subject to the second preceding paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security will be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account maintained by the payee in euros at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Company and the Trustee, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least USD $1,000,000 (or the equivalent in euros) and
(ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Global Corporate Trust, on or before the fifth Business Day before
the day on which such payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security
must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such
funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such
request is revoked on or before the fifth Business Day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such payment and all later payments. In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment
Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date. ] 

[IF PAYMENT IS IN EUROS, INSERT — Payments Made in U.S. Dollars 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day and if euros are
not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy
its obligation to pay such amount in euros by making such payment in U.S. dollars. The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of an exchange rate for euros published at approximately
12:00 noon, New York City time, by a generally recognized and publicly available source, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Exchange Rate Agent (the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such
payment is to be made. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in euros will not constitute an Event of Default under this Security or the Indenture.

contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, affiliates of any such agent or affiliates of the Company. 

All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to the terms of this Security shall be, absent manifest error, conclusive for all
purposes and binding on the holder of this Security and the Company, and the Exchange Rate Agent shall have no liability therefor.] 
 Payments
Due on a Business Day 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if the Maturity of the principal hereof
occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, any amount of principal, premium or interest that would otherwise be due on this Security on such day (the “Specified Day”) may be paid or made available for payment on the Business Day that is
next succeeding the Specified Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from the Specified Day to such next succeeding Business Day.
“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, and that is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York [;][IF

such payment by any U.S. Taxing Authority (as defined below), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Security to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to pay additional
amounts for or on account of any one or more of the following: 
 (i)    any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge imposed solely because at any time there is or was a connection between such beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, shareholder or member of such beneficial owner, if such beneficial owner is an estate,
trust, partnership or corporation) and the United States (as defined below) (other than the mere receipt of a payment on, or the ownership or holding of, a Security), including because such beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary,

compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the U.S. Treasury Department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

(v)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by deduction or
withholding from payments of principal of or interest on this Security; 
 (vi)    any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge imposed solely because the payment is to be made by a particular Paying Agent (which term may include the Company) and would not be imposed if made by another Paying Agent (which term may include the Company); 

(vii)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the Holder (1) is a
bank purchasing this Security in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Security for investment purposes only nor (B) buying this Security for resale to a third party that either

Company would not be

required to pay additional amounts to any beneficiary or settlor of such fiduciary or any member of such a partnership, or to any beneficial owner of the payment, if that Person had been treated
as the beneficial owner of this Security for this purpose. 
 In addition, any amounts to be paid on this Security will be paid net of any
deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)
of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and no additional

Security. For the purposes of this Section 3 and Section 4 only, (a) the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states thereof and the District of Columbia), together with the territories,
possessions and all other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America and (b) the term “U.S. Taxing Authority” means the United States of America or any state, other jurisdiction or taxing authority in the United

Whenever in the Securities of this series (or in the Indenture, including in Sections 5.01(1) and (2) thereof, insofar as applicable to
this series) there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of this series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of any payment of additional amounts to United States Aliens in respect
of such payment of principal or interest to the extent that, in such context, such additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 3 or any corresponding section of another Security of this series,
as the case may be. Express mention of the payment of additional amounts in any provision of any Security of this series shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in the provisions of any Security of this series (or of the Indenture
insofar as it applies to this series) where such express mention is not made. 
 4.    Redemption at the
Company’s Option. 
 (a)    The Securities of this series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in

becomes effective or is announced on or after                     , the Company will become obligated to pay, on the next Interest Payment Date,
additional amounts in respect of any Security of this series pursuant to Section 3 of this Security or any corresponding section of another Security of this series. If the Company becomes entitled to redeem the Securities of this series, it may

notice is given, such obligation to pay such additional amounts remains in effect. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice of redemption of Securities pursuant to this Section 4(a), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem the Securities have
occurred. Interest installments due on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Security or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant record date, all as provided in the

these payments of interest accrued as of the date on which the Securities are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on which the Securities are to be redeemed on a semi-annual basis, applying the [Insert      Day Count

Security not more than 60 days nor less than 15 days prior to the Redemption Date. Interest installments due on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Security or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the
close of business on the relevant record date, all as provided in the Indenture.] 

5.    Defeasance. 

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

6.    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 Securities to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Securities at the time Outstanding to
be affected, considered together as one class for this purpose (such Securities to be affected may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series). The
Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected under the Indenture, considered together as one class for this purpose (such affected
Securities may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any particular series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities so affected, to waive compliance by the
Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered
separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term “default” means, with respect to any Securities, any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default or Covenant Breach in respect of such
Securities. As used in this Section 6, the term “series” (and references to the Securities of a series) shall mean only Securities having the same CUSIP number.

 7.    Remedies. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. With respect to this Security, the only Events of Default are payment defaults that continue for 30 days and insolvency events, all as specified in the
Indenture. Any other default under or breach of the Indenture or the Securities will not give rise to an Event of Default, whether after notice, the passage of time or otherwise. 

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

If so provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the above-referenced provisions of the Indenture regarding the ability of
Holders to waive certain defaults, or to request the Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard to such Securities. 

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

8.    Transfer and Exchange. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security 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 Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. 

[TITLE OF SECURITY/SERIES] 

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture as defined on the reverse of this Security), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to                , or registered assigns, the principal sum of [Insert Principal Amount] ($[Insert Numeric Principal Amount]) on [Insert Maturity]. The Company
further promises to pay interest on said principal sum as follows: 
 Prior to [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period]. The Company will pay
interest on the principal sum hereof at the rate of [Insert Fixed Annual Rate]% per annum from and including [Insert Original Issue Date] (or from the most recent Interest Payment Date prior to [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period]
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for) to but excluding [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period] (or, if the Maturity of the principal hereof occurs prior to such date, until the earlier of such date or the date the principal is
paid or made available for payment), payable semi-annually. Such interest will be payable in arrears on [Insert Interest Payment Dates during Fixed Rate Period] in each year, commencing on [Insert First Interest Payment Date] and including [Insert
beginning of the Floating Rate Period] (each an “Interest Payment Date”), and at any Maturity of the principal hereof prior to such date. 
 On
and after [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period]. The Company will pay interest on the principal sum hereof at a floating rate per annum of [INSERT AS APPLICABLE IF SPREAD APPLIES — [    ]% [above][below]
[Insert base rate]] [INSERT AS APPLICABLE IF SPREAD MULTIPLIER APPLIES — as adjusted by multiplying such rate by [Insert Spread Multiplier]], determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below and reset effective each Interest
Reset Date, from and including [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period] (or from the most recent Interest Payment Date thereafter to which interest has been paid or duly provided for) until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on [Insert Interest Payment Dates during Floating Rate Period] in each year, commencing on [Insert first Interest Payment Date following the beginning of the Floating Rate Period] (each an
“Interest Payment Date”), and at the Maturity of the principal hereof on or after [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period]. 

Any installment of interest that is overdue shall also bear interest at the same rate in effect during the Interest Period ending on the day
prior to the due date of such installment of interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date any such overdue installment first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand, subject to the provisions in the Indenture. 

On each Interest Payment Date on or before [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period], the amount of interest payable shall be calculated
by multiplying the principal amount 

  
 (Face of Security

by an accrued interest factor for the Interest Period. Such accrued interest factor shall be expressed as a decimal and computed by multiplying the annual interest rate by the [Insert Day
Count Convention] Day Count Convention for such Interest Period, which is [INSERT DAY COUNT CONVENTION CALCULATION METHODOLOGY AS INDICATED BELOW]. 

On each Interest Payment Date after [Insert beginning of the Floating Rate Period], the amount of interest payable shall be calculated by the
Calculation Agent by multiplying the principal amount by an accrued interest factor for the Interest Period. Such accrued interest factor shall be expressed as a decimal and computed by multiplying the interest rate determined as set
forth below for such Interest Period (also expressed as a decimal) by the [Insert Day Count Convention] Day Count Convention for such Interest Period, which is [INSERT DAY COUNT CONVENTION CALCULATION METHODOLOGY AS INDICATED BELOW].

U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Interest Determination Date”). If the CMS Rate cannot be determined as described above, the
following procedures will apply in determining the CMS Rate: 
 (ii)    If the Calculation Agent
determines on the relevant Interest Determination Date that the CMS Rate has been discontinued, then the Calculation Agent will use a substitute or successor rate that it has determined in its sole discretion is most comparable to the CMS Rate,
provided that if the Calculation Agent determines there is an industry-accepted successor rate, then the Calculation Agent shall use such successor rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor rate in accordance with the
foregoing, the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion may determine the definition of Business Day and the relevant Interest Determination Date to be used, and any other relevant methodology for calculating such substitute or successor rate,
including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or successor rate comparable to the CMS Rate, in a manner that is consistent with any industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor rate. 

(iii)    Unless the Calculation Agent uses a substitute or successor rate as so provided, if the CMS Rate
cannot be determined in the manner described above on the Interest Determination Date, the CMS Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consulting such sources as it deems comparable to the foregoing display page, or any other source
it deems reasonable, in its sole discretion.] 
 [INSERT IF THE BASE RATE IS THE CMT RATE — The CMT Rate that takes effect on any
Interest Reset Date will be determined in the following manner. “CMT Rate” means: 
 (i)    If
the Designated CMT Refinitiv Page is the Refinitiv Page FRBCMT, then the CMT Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the yield for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for a period of the Designated CMT Index Maturity as published
by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, as such yield is displayed on the Designated
CMT Refinitiv Page on the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Interest Determination Date”). 

(A)    If the applicable rate described in clause (i) above is not displayed on the Designated CMT
Refinitiv Page, then the CMT Rate will be the rate for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for a period of the Designated CMT Index Maturity as published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its
website or in another recognized electronic source, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. 

(B)    If the applicable rate described in clause (A) above does not appear on the website of the
Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in 

  
 (Face of Security

its sole discretion, then the CMT Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the Treasury constant maturity rate, for the Designated CMT Index Maturity that: 

a.    is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the U.S. Department of the
Treasury, and 
 b.    is determined by the Calculation Agent to be comparable to the applicable rate
that would have otherwise been published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. 

(C)    If, on the Interest Determination Date, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the
U.S. Department of the Treasury does not publish a yield on Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for the Designated CMT Index Maturity, after consulting such sources as it deems comparable to any of the foregoing display pages, or
any such source as it deems reasonable from which to estimate the CMT Rate, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate in its sole discretion, provided that if the Calculation Agent determines there is an industry-accepted successor CMT
Rate, then the Calculation Agent shall use such successor rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion may determine the Business Day
Convention, the definition of Business Day and the Interest Determination Date to be used and any other relevant methodology for calculating such substitute or successor rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or
successor rate comparable to the CMT Rate, in a manner that is consistent with any industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor rate. 

(ii)    if the Designated CMT Refinitiv Page is the Refinitiv Page FEDCMT, the CMT Rate for such Interest
Reset Date will be the average of the yields for the five Business Days for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for a period of the Designated CMT Index Maturity as set forth on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of
Governors or in another recognized electronic source, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, as such yields are displayed on the Designated CMT Refinitiv Page on such Interest Reset Date.

 (B)    If the applicable average described in clause
(A) above does not appear on the Designated Refinitiv Page or on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole
discretion, then the CMT Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the average of the yields for the five Business Days for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for a period equal to the Designated CMT Index Maturity as otherwise
announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the five Business Days preceding such Interest Reset Date.

U.S. Department of the Treasury does not publish a yield on Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for the Designated CMT Index Maturity, after consulting such sources as it deems comparable to any of the foregoing display pages, or
any such source as it deems reasonable from which to estimate the CMT Rate, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate in its sole discretion, provided that if the Calculation Agent determines there is an industry-accepted successor CMT
Rate, then the Calculation Agent shall use such successor rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion may determine the Business Day
Convention, the definition of Business Day and the Interest Determination Date to be used and any other relevant methodology for calculating such substitute or successor rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or
successor rate comparable to the CMT Rate, in a manner that is consistent with any industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor rate.]

the rate equal to the rate, on such Interest Reset Date, as set forth in H.15 Daily Update opposite the heading “Federal funds (effective)”, as that rate is displayed on the Refinitiv Page FEDFUNDS1 Page for that day. If the Federal Funds
Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Federal Funds Rate: 

(ii)    If the rate described above is not displayed on the Refinitiv Page FEDFUNDS1 by approximately
5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day that is one New York City Banking Day following such Interest Reset Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the rate described above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or
another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, opposite the heading “Federal funds (effective)”.

(effective)”, as such rate is displayed on the Refinitiv Page FEDFUNDS1.] 
 [INSERT IF THE BASE RATE IS LIBOR — For the purposes
of this Security, LIBOR to take effect on any Interest Reset Date will be determined in the following manner: 

(i)    LIBOR will be the London interbank offered rate per annum for [three-month] deposits in [U.S.
dollars] beginning on such Interest Reset Date, as such rate appears on the Refinitiv Page LIBOR01 (as defined below) as of approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the day that is two London Business Days prior to such Interest Reset Date (such
date, the “Interest Determination Date”). 
 (ii)    If LIBOR does not so appear on the
Refinitiv Page LIBOR01, then LIBOR for that Interest Reset Date will be equal to such rate on the Interest Determination Date when LIBOR for the relevant Index Maturity was last available on the Refinitiv Page LIBOR01, as determined by the
Calculation Agent. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to this Security in
respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates. 
 In connection with the implementation of a
Benchmark Replacement, the Calculation Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time. 
 For
purposes of this Security:

the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time, then the Benchmark Replacement shall be the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Calculation Agent as the replacement
for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable corresponding tenor giving due consideration to any industry accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate fixed income

 For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise
to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

 For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the definitions of Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Event, references to
“Benchmark” also include any reference rate underlying such Benchmark (for example, if the Benchmark becomes the sum of (a) Compounded SOFR and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment in accordance with clause (2) of the
definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, references to Benchmark would include SOFR). 
 In this Security: 

The term “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current

	 	(1)	 the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant
Governmental Body for determining Compounded SOFR; provided that: 

  

	 	(2)	 if, and to the extent that, the Calculation Agent determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in
accordance with clause (1) above, then the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate that have been selected by the Calculation Agent giving due consideration to any industry-accepted market practice for U.S. dollar

compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the U.S. Treasury Department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

(v)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by deduction or
withholding from payments of principal of or interest on this Security;

5.    Defeasance. 

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

6.    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 Securities to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Securities at the time Outstanding to
be affected, considered together as one class for this purpose (such Securities to be affected may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series). The
Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected under the Indenture, considered together as one class for this purpose (such affected

upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. For the purpose of this paragraph,
the term “default” means, with respect to any Securities, any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default or Covenant Breach in respect of such Securities. 

7.    Remedies. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. With respect to this Security, the only Events of Default are payment defaults that continue for 30 days and insolvency events, all as specified in the
Indenture. Any other default under or breach of the Indenture or the Securities will not give rise to an Event of Default, whether after notice, the passage of time or otherwise. 

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

If so provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the above-referenced provisions of the Indenture regarding the ability of
Holders to waive certain defaults, or to request the Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard to such Securities. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. As used in this Section 7, the term
“series” (and references to the Securities of a series) shall mean only Securities having the same CUSIP number. 

8.    Transfer and Exchange. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security

instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior
to due presentment of this Security 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 Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or
not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
