 As a condition under Section 6
of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is entering into this Registration Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Company agrees with the Dealer Managers for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Company Notes
(“Initial Company Notes Holders”) and the holders of each series of the Securities (as defined below) (collectively, the “Holders”), as follows: 

1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless not permitted by applicable law (after the Company has complied with the ultimate paragraph of this
Section 1), the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration
Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange
for the 3.900% Initial Company Notes, the 4.600% Initial Company Notes, the 4.800% Initial Company Notes, the 3.000% Initial Company Notes and the 3.600% Initial Company Notes, as applicable, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of
the Company issued under the Indenture, substantially identical in all material respects to the 3.900% Initial Company Notes, the 4.600% Initial Company Notes, the 4.800% Initial Company Notes, the 3.000% Initial Company Notes and the 3.600% Initial
Company Notes, as applicable, and registered under the Securities Act (together, the “Registered Exchange Securities”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become
effective under the Securities Act within 548 days (such 548th day being an “Effectiveness Deadline”) after the Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Exchange Offer Memorandum) of the Initial Exchange Offers (the “Closing
Date”) and will keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is provided to the Holders (such
period being called the “Exchange Offer Registration Period”). 
 If the Company commences the Registered Exchange
Offer, the Company will be entitled to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after such commencement (provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Company Notes theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of
the Registered Exchange Offer). 
 Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company
shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of the Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined below) electing to exchange its 3.900% Initial Company Notes, 4.600%
Initial Company Notes, 4.800% Initial Company Notes, 3.000% Initial Company Notes or 3.600% Initial Company Notes, as applicable, for the applicable 

  
 2 

 
amount and series of Registered Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Registered Exchange
Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Registered Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the
Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Registered Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act. 

The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in
the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, each Holder that is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Company Notes, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other
trading activities, for the applicable series of Registered Exchange Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover,
(b) Annex B hereto in the “The Exchange Offer” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of such prospectus in
connection with a sale of any such Registered Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer. 

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for the Exchange Offer Registration Period; provided,
however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer, such period shall be the lesser of 120 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers have
sold all Registered Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to
any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Registered Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 120 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer. 

The Initial Company Notes and the Registered Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the “Securities”. 

In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall: 

(a) make available to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together
with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents 
 (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less
than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is provided to the Holders; 
 (c)
utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee; 

(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last
business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
 (e) otherwise comply with all applicable
laws. 

  
 3 

 As soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer, the
Company shall: 
 (x) accept for exchange all the Initial Company Notes of each series validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; 
 (y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Company
Notes of each series so accepted for exchange; and 
 (z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each
Holder of the 3.900% Initial Company Notes, the 4.600% Initial Company Notes, the 4.800% Initial Company Notes, the 3.000% Initial Company Notes or the 3.600% Initial Company Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Registered Exchange Offer,
the Registered Exchange Securities of the applicable series, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to such 3.900% Initial Company Notes, the 4.600% Initial Company Notes, the 4.800% Initial Company Notes, the 3.000% Initial Company Notes and
the 3.600% Initial Company Notes, as applicable, of such Holder so accepted for exchange. 
 The Indenture provides that the Registered
Exchange Securities of each series will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the Securities of each series will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities of
each series will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. 
 Interest on each Registered
Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the applicable series of Initial Company Notes surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has
been paid on such series of Initial Company Notes, from the date of original issue of the applicable series of Initial Company Notes. 

Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation
of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Registered Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of commencement of the Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder had no
arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of any series of Securities or Registered Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate,” as
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is
not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of any series of Registered Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Registered Exchange Securities of the applicable series for its own account in exchange for the 3.900% Initial Company Notes, the 4.600% Initial Company Notes, the 4.800% Initial
Company Notes, the 3.000% Initial Company Notes or the 3.600% Initial Company Notes, as applicable, that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be
required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Registered Exchange Securities. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus
forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 If following the date hereof there has been announced a change in Commission policy with
respect to exchange offers that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Registered Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company will seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer. The Company will pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff
level. In connection with the foregoing, the Company will take all such other actions as may be requested by the Commission or otherwise reasonably required in connection with the issuance of such decision, including without limitation
(i) participating in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (ii) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that the
Registered Exchange Offer should be permitted and (iii) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff. 

2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the
Commission, the Company is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated by the date that is 40 days after the date on which the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement is declared effective (such 40th day being the “Consummation Deadline”) or (iii) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in
the case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradeable Registered Exchange Securities of the applicable series on the date of the exchange and any
such Holder so requests for any reason other than the failure by such Holder to make a timely and valid tender in accordance with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall take the following actions (the date on which any of the conditions
described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) occur, including in the case of clauses (iii) or (iv) the receipt of the required notice, being a “Trigger Date”): 

(a) The Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and file with the Commission and thereafter use its reasonable best
efforts to cause to be declared effective not later than the latter to occur of the date that is (i) 150 days after the Trigger Date and (ii) 548 days after the Closing Date (such 150th or 548th day, as the case may be, being an
“Effectiveness Deadline”), a registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”) on an
appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities of the applicable series by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf
Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. 

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order
to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period that terminates on the later of (x) one year (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below)
from the Closing Date or (y) 90 days from the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement, or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto
or (ii) are no longer Transfer Restricted Securities (such applicable period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”). 

  
 5 

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the
extent applicable, any Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply: 

(a) The Company shall (i) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B
hereto in the “The Exchange Offer” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and include the information set forth in Annex D hereto in the letter of transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (ii) include within the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” reasonably acceptable to the Dealer Managers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the Commission with respect to
the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of Registered Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether
such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the Dealer Managers based upon advice of counsel (which may be
in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the Commission; and (iii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include the names of the Holders who propose to sell Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement as selling security holders. 
 (b) The Company shall give written notice to the
Dealer Managers, the Holders of the Securities of the applicable series and any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the Company has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (which
notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 

(i) when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of
any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 

(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; 
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities of any series for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose of which the Company has knowledge; and 

  
 6 

 (v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes
in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 

(c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal, at the earliest possible time, of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
 (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities
included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by reference). 

(e) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage
of the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The
Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use in accordance with applicable law of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and
sale of the Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 

(f) The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use in accordance with applicable law of the
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Company Notes Holder, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the
Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Registered Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 

(g) Prior to any public offering of any series of Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Company shall
cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their Special Counsel (as defined in paragraph (p) below) in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities of such series for offer and sale under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities of such series reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer
and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 

(h) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities of each series to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing the Securities of each series to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable
period of time prior to sales of each series of Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 

  
 7 

 (i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs
(ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities of the applicable series
or purchasers of Securities of the applicable series, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders of the Securities of the applicable series and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with
paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Holders of the Securities of the applicable series and
any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders
of the Securities of the applicable series and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). 

(j) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for
each series of the Initial Company Notes or the Registered Exchange Securities and provide the applicable trustee with printed certificates for each series of the Initial Company Notes or the Registered Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a
form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 
 (k) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to
comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in
accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month
period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 
 (l) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee under the Indenture and the Holders of Securities of each series to effect such changes to the
Indenture as may be required for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of
the Indenture. 
 (m) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude
from such registration the Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 

  
 8 

 (n) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if
requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.

 (o) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make available at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice for inspection by a representative of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities being sold, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company’s
officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and
information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Holders by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described herein (which counsel shall be Latham & Watkins LLP
or another law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company, such counsel being referred to herein as the “Special Counsel”); provided, further, however, that, as a condition to supplying such information, the
Company shall receive an agreement in writing from such Special Counsel agreeing that any information that is designated in writing by the Company, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential
by such Special Counsel and any other person entitled to receive such information pursuant to this paragraph (p) unless (w) disclosure of such information is required pursuant to applicable law or by court or administrative order,
(x) disclosure of such information is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission of a material fact in any Registration Statement, prospectus or any supplement or
post-effective amendment thereto or disclosure is otherwise required by law, (y) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such counsel or any other person entitled to receive such
information pursuant to this paragraph (p) in violation of this proviso or (z) such information is approved for release by the Company in writing. 

(p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause
(i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of
such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of the Company and its “significant subsidiaries” (as defined in
Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X)); the qualification of the Company and its significant subsidiaries to transact business as foreign corporations; the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the applicable
Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its significant subsidiaries; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the
offering and sale of the applicable Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the compliance as to form of such Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference
therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and, as of the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the 

  
 9

the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents incorporated by reference therein, if applicable, of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act);
(ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the applicable Securities; and (iii) its independent public accountants and the independent public

reasonably satisfactory to the Dealer Managers. 
 (r) If a Registered Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of
the 3.900% Initial Company Notes, the 4.600% Initial Company Notes, the 4.800% Initial Company Notes, the 3.000% Initial Company Notes and the 3.600% Initial Company Notes, as applicable, by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as
directed by the Company) in exchange for the applicable series of Registered Exchange Securities, the Company shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Initial Company Notes so exchanged that such Initial Company Notes are being canceled in
exchange for the applicable series of Registered Exchange Securities; in no event shall any Initial Company Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 

(s) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each series of the Securities covered by any Registration
Statement to continue to be rated by the rating agencies that initially rated such Securities during the period that any such Registration Statement is required hereunder to remain effective (it being acknowledged, however, that the foregoing shall
not be deemed to require the Company to maintain the rating of such Securities at the rating initially given to the Securities). 

(t) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall
underwrite any series of Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the “Rules”) of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 5121, shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent
underwriter” (as defined in Rule 5121) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering
contemplated by such 

  
 10 

 
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent
underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in
order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 
 (u) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of each series of the Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company may postpone or suspend the filing or the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement (or any amendments or supplements thereto) if (i) such action is required by applicable law or (ii) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including the avoidance of the
Company’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, other pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission or other similar events, so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the
requirements of Section 3(j) hereof, if applicable. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (each such occurrence, a “Suspension”), no such Suspension
shall suspend, postpone or in any other manner affect the running of the time period after which a Registration Default shall be deemed to occur and, if the filing or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement is postponed or suspended as a
result of a Suspension, a Registration Default shall nonetheless exist if all other requirements required for the occurrence of a Registration Default shall then be satisfied, and the provisions of Section 6 hereof
requiring the accrual and payment of Additional Interest, as set forth in such Section, on each series of the Securities shall be payable. 

4. Registration Expenses. 

(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of and compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the
Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes effective, including without limitation; 

(i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; 

(ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state “blue sky” or securities laws; 

(iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for each series of the Securities to be issued in the
Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; 

(iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and 

(v) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any
special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
 The Company will bear its internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the Company. 

  
 11 

 (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who are tendering Initial Company Notes in the Registered Exchange Offer and/or selling or reselling Securities pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution”
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Special Counsel. 

5. Indemnification.  

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder,
any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement
or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in any prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting
any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in
connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not delivered to such person, at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such
Securities to such person, a prospectus correcting any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer;
provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and
directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such
Holders. 

  
 12 

 (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the
Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall
reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons. 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement
of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the
indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however,
that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent the indemnified party and their respective controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the
indemnified party against the indemnifying party under this Section 5 if the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action, if in
the written opinion of counsel to either the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or likely conflicts of interest between them or the indemnifying party
shall have failed to employ counsel within a reasonable period of time, and in that event the fees and expenses of one firm of separate counsel (in addition to the fees and expenses of one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) shall
be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action,
and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

  
 13 

 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any,
who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
 (e) The agreements contained
in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation
made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) Additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to each Transfer Restricted Security
in a series shall be assessed as follows if either of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) and (ii) below being herein called a “Registration Default”): 

(i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
applicable Effectiveness Deadline; or 
 (ii) on and after the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (plus an additional 30 days
in respect of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement), any Registration Statement required by this Agreement has been declared effective by the Commission but (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or (B) such
Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities of such series during the periods specified herein because (1) any event occurs as a result of which the related
prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not
misleading, (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder or (3) of a Suspension by the Company
in accordance with Section 3(w) hereof. 

  
 14 

 Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason for any
such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is beyond the control of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result of any action or inaction by the Commission. 

Additional Interest shall accrue on each Transfer Restricted Security over and above the interest set forth in the title of such Transfer
Restricted Security from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have ceased to be continuing, at a rate of 0.50% per annum (the “Additional
Interest Rate”). 
 (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(ii) hereof
shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective
amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or
the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events; provided,
however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the date of such Registration Default until
such Registration Default ceases. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay the
Additional Interest required pursuant to paragraph (a) above to a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities if the applicable Registration Default arises by reason of the failure of such Holder to provide such information as (i) the Company
may reasonably request, with reasonable prior written notice, for use in the Shelf Registration Statement or any prospectus included therein to the extent the Company reasonably determines that such information is required to be included therein by
applicable law, (ii) the FINRA or the Commission may request in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) is required to comply with the agreements of such Holder contained in Section 3(a) hereof
to the extent compliance thereof is necessary for the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective. 
 (d) Any
amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to subsection (a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the Securities of the applicable series and in the same manner and to the same persons as
ordinary interest. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by the principal amount of the Securities of such series and further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days such Additional Interest Rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months),
and the denominator of which is 360. 

  
 15 

 (e) “Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security
until the earliest of (i) the date on which such Security has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Registered Exchange Security of the applicable series in the
Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of a 3.900% Initial Company Note, a 4.600% Initial Company Note, a 4.800% Initial Company Note, a
3.000% Initial Company Note or a 3.600% Initial Company Note, as applicable, for a Registered Exchange Security of the applicable series, the date on which such Registered Exchange Security is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Security has been effectively registered under
the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement (if any), (iv) the date on which such Security is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (v) two years from the
Closing Date, provided, however, that at the written request of the Company, the Representative may in its sole discretion agree to shorten such two-year period to one year from the Closing
Date. 
 7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted
Securities of any series remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of
Transfer Restricted Securities of the applicable series in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to use its reasonable best efforts to make all
filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities by Holders (other than affiliates and certain recent affiliates) pursuant to Rule 144. 

8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities of a series covered by any Shelf Registration are to be
sold in an underwritten offering, subject to the proviso in Section 3(o) hereof, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (the “Managing
Underwriters”) will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such offering and will be reasonably acceptable to the Company. 

No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer
Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 9.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply
with its obligations under Sections 1 and 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Dealer Managers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure
damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Dealer Managers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under
Sections 1 and 2 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement
with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company hereby represents that the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not
conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 

  
 16 

 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected
by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents or, if such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent affects less than all series of the Securities, with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of Securities of each series affected; provided, however, that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly adversely affects the rights of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities occurring within the period in
which any Registration Statement is effective for such Holder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Holder against which such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective. Without the
consent of the Holder of each affected Security, however, no modification may change the provisions relating to the payment of Additional Interest. 

(d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand

 ANNEX A 

Each broker-dealer that receives Registered Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Registered Exchange Securities. The letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time,
may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Company Notes where such Initial Company Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 120 days after the Expiration Date (as
defined herein), it will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX B 

If you are a broker-dealer that receives Registered Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Initial Company Notes, where you acquired such Initial Company Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such Registered Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX C 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Registered Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Registered
Exchange Securities. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Exchange Securities received in exchange
for Initial Company Notes where such Initial Company Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 120 days after
the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. (1) 
 The Company will not receive any
proceeds from any such sale of Registered Exchange Securities by broker-dealers. Registered Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant
to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of
options on the Registered Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made
directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such Registered
Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Registered Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a
distribution of such Registered Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Registered Exchange Securities and any commission or concessions
received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 

For a period of 120 days after the Expiration Date the Company will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment
or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (including the

 Section 2.02 Requests for Loans; Accounting. EGTS agrees to keep EEGH and BHE

prompt written confirmation of any oral request for a Loan, together with, if requested by EEGH, a general statement of the contemplated disposition of the proceeds. No Loan shall be in excess of the Available Credit, and no part of any Loan may
mature later than the Final Maturity Date. Increases and decreases in the amounts due and payable by EGTS under this Agreement and the Note shall be evidenced by book entries, and EEGH shall maintain a current daily accounting of all Loans to EGTS

Section 2.03 Interest on the Loan. Daily accrued interest at the Base Rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans,
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, shall be determined by EEGH as of the close of each Business Day. The rate to be used for any day other than a Business Day will
be the Base Rate on the immediately preceding Business Day. All accrued and unpaid interest on all Loans shall be due and payable in arrears by EGTS on each Interest Payment Date. If unpaid, interest shall automatically be added to the principal on
the day when due, and such interest shall bear interest hereunder until paid. The nonpayment of interest shall not be a default under this Agreement, unless such interest is due on the Final Maturity Date. 

Section 2.04 The Note. EGTS’s obligation to repay the outstanding balance of each Loan shall be evidenced by the Note. The
Note shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of EGTS and delivered to EEGH on the Effective Date. The Note shall be payable to the order of EEGH at its offices in the City of Richmond, Virginia, and shall mature on the Final Maturity Date
(subject to the terms of Article III hereof). The Loans and the Note evidencing the Loans shall accrue interest at the Base Rate as provided in Section 2.03 hereof, which interest shall be payable at the offices of EEGH in the City of Richmond,

“Cancelled” to EGTS. 
 Section 2.05 Funding and Repayment. Each Loan shall be made in Dollars in immediately
available funds on the Drawdown Date. All Loans shall be made in the form of open account advances, repayable not more than one year from the date of the first advance. All or any portion of each Loan is payable on demand of EEGH. All repayments and
prepayments by EGTS of principal and all payments by EGTS of interest shall be made without deduction, set off, abatement, suspension, deferment, defense or counterclaim, on or before the due date of repayment or payment, and shall be made in
Dollars in immediately available funds. All payments received from EGTS shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of interest due on the Loans; and second, to the repayment of principal due on the Loans. 

Section 2.06 Optional Prepayments. EGTS may, at its option, prepay all or any part of the Loans at any time and from time to time
without penalty or premium. 
 Section 2.07 Use of Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans may be used by EGTS or its
subsidiaries for any lawful purpose.

day which is ninety (90) days prior to the then Regular Maturity Date of this Agreement, neither of the parties to this Agreement shall have given notice to the other party that it wishes this Agreement to expire on said Regular Maturity Date,
then said Regular Maturity Date shall be deemed to have been extended automatically for an additional one (1) year period.

following events shall occur and be continuing, EEGH, at its option, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and/or to make the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and interest thereon immediately due and payable upon written or oral
notice to EGTS, without the requirement of any further notice, demand or presentment of the Note for payment, all of which are expressly waived by EGTS:

applicable thereto, whether such Indebtedness shall become due by scheduled maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration, by demand or otherwise; or EGTS shall fail to perform any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed under
this Agreement, the Note or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or securing or relating to any Indebtedness owing by EGTS when required to be performed, if such failure permits the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness, unless
such failure to perform shall have been waived by the holder or holders of such Indebtedness prior to any acceleration hereunder;

 EASTERN GAS TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value
received and in consideration of the execution and delivery by EASTERN ENERGY GAS HOLDINGS, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“EEGH”), of that certain Inter-Company Credit Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2020, (the
“Agreement”), hereby promises to pay to the order of EEGH, on demand, and in any event on or before one (1) year from the Effective Date of the Agreement, or such other date as shall then be the Final Maturity Date under the
Agreement, the principal sum of Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000) if fully borrowed, or so much thereof as may be outstanding hereunder at such time. 

The Company also unconditionally promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note outstanding from time to time, until
such principal amount is paid in full, at the rates, at the time and in the manner specified in the Agreement and in accordance with the provisions thereof. Nothing contained in this Note or in the Agreement shall be deemed to establish or require
the payment of a rate of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by any applicable law. 
 This Note is issued by the Company
pursuant to the Agreement, to which reference is made for certain terms and conditions applicable hereto. Defined terms used in this Note shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. 

Both the principal of this Note and interest hereon are payable in lawful money of the United States of America, which will be immediately
available on the day when payment shall become due, at the offices of EEGH in the City of Richmond, Virginia. Interest shall be paid on overdue principal hereof and, to the extent legally enforceable, on overdue interest, at the Base Rate as in
effect from time to time plus two hundred (200) basis points. 
 The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be automatically
increased or decreased upon and to the same extent of any increase or decrease in the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans made under the Agreement; provided, however, that at no time shall the outstanding principal amount of this
Note exceed $400,000,000. Increases and decreases in the amounts due and payable by the Company under this Agreement and the Note shall be evidenced in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Upon payment in full on the Final Maturity Date of
the principal of and interest on this Note, this Note shall be canceled and returned to the Company and shall be of no further operation or effect. The obligation of the Company to make the payments required to be made on this Note and under the
Agreement and to perform and observe the other agreements on its part contained herein and therein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to diminution by set off, counterclaim, defense, abatement or otherwise. 

All Loans made under the Agreement shall be made in the form of open account advances, repayable not more than one year from the date of the
first advance. All or any portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be payable on demand by EEGH. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to a right on the
part of EEGH to terminate the Agreement under Section 3.01 thereof, the maturity of this Note may, at the discretion of EEGH, be accelerated and the principal balance hereof, together with interest accrued thereon, may be declared immediately
due and payable as provided in the Agreement. 

 Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, notice of dishonor, notice of
non-payment and all other notices are hereby waived by the Company, except to the extent expressly provided in the Agreement. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the
part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights. 
 This Note is issued with the intent that it shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, EASTERN GAS TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE, INC.
has caused this Note to be duly executed in its name by its duly authorized officer all as of November 1, 2020.
