INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is made as of February 3, 2021, by and between NOVUS CAPITAL CORPORATION II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and Vincent Donargo, Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant
to serve publicly-held corporations as directors, officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection
through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their
service to and activities on behalf of such corporations;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis,
at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and any of its subsidiaries from certain liabilities.
Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based publicly-traded
corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance
may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, officers and
other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming
litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business
enterprise itself. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and the Bylaws
of the Company (the “Bylaws”) require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee
may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).
The Charter, the Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive,
and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons
with respect to indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement and reimbursement rights;

 

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance
and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased
difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and
that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for
the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate and to advance expenses on behalf of, such
persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue
concern that they will not be so protected against liabilities;

 

     

     

    

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and
in furtherance of the Charter and the Bylaws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed
a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as an
officer or director, advisor or in another capacity without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in
such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the
Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and the covenants contained herein and subject to the provisions of the letter agreement dated as of February 8, 2021 among the
Company, Indemnitee and the other parties thereto pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement related to the Company’s initial
public offering, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1.               SERVICES
TO THE COMPANY. In consideration of the Company’s covenants and obligations hereunder, Indemnitee will serve or continue
to serve as an officer, director, advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as applicable, for so long as
Indemnitee is duly elected, appointed or retained or until Indemnitee tenders Indemnitee’s resignation or until Indemnitee
is removed. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after Indemnitee has ceased
to serve as a director, officer, advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as provided in Section 17.
This Agreement, however, shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to
the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any.

    6 

     

    

 

5.              
INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL.

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement except
for Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party
to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless
and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee
is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all
claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify,
hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding,
the Company also shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against
all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which Indemnitee
was successful. For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter
in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue
or matter.

 

6.

extent permitted by applicable law, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

7.              
ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION RIGHTS.

Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, and subject to Section 27,

a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration rights shall be available under this Section 7.1 on account of Indemnitee’s conduct

in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of applicable law.

 

7.2.           
Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, 5 or 7.1, and subject to Section 27,
the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee

a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.

 

8.             
CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY.

 

8.1.           
To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights
provided for in this Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu
of indemnifying, holding harmless or exonerating Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee,
whether for judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection
with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes
any right of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee.

 

    7 

     

    

 

8.2.           
The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee
(or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted
against Indemnitee.

 

8.3.           
The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which
may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

 

9.              
EXCLUSIONS.

 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company
shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification, advance expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment
in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

 

(a)            
for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity
or advancement provision and which payment has not subsequently been returned, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount
actually received under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity or advancement provision or otherwise;

 

(b)            
for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company
within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule) or similar provisions of state statutory
law or common law; or

 

(c)            
except as otherwise provided in Sections 14.5 and 14.6 hereof, prior to a Change in Control, in connection
with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding)
initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board
authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration payment, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.
Indemnitee shall seek payments or advances from the Company only to the extent that such payments or advances are unavailable from
any insurance policy of the Company covering Indemnitee.

 

10.           
ADVANCES OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIM.

 

10.1.         
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary except for Section 27, and to the fullest extent
not prohibited by applicable law, the Company shall pay the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee (or reasonably expected by Indemnitee
to be incurred by Indemnitee within three months) in connection with any Proceeding within ten (10) days after the receipt
by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding.
Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate
entitlement to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include
any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred
preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. To the fullest extent required by applicable
law, such payments of Expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon the Company’s
receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of Indemnitee, to repay the advanced amounts to the extent that it is ultimately determined
that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement,
the Charter and the Bylaws of the Company, applicable law or otherwise. This Section 10.1 shall not apply to any claim
made by Indemnitee for which an indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded pursuant to Section 9.

 

    8 

     

    

 

10.2.         
The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

 

10.3.         
The Company shall not settle any action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, judgment,
fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

 

11.           
PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

 

11.1.         
Indemnitee agrees to notify promptly the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint,
indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding, claim, issue or matter therein which may be subject to indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration rights, or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company
shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, or otherwise.

 

11.2.         
Indemnitee may deliver to the Company a written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance
with this Agreement. Such application(s) may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate
in his or her sole discretion. Following such a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s entitlement
to indemnification shall be determined according to Section 12.1 of this Agreement.

 

12.           
PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

 

12.1.         
A determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall
be made in the specific case by one of the following methods, which shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (i) by a majority
vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated
by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if
such directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee,
or (iv) by vote of the stockholders. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination
that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification
has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within
ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such
determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or
entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure
and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity
making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement
to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

    9 

     

    

 

12.2.         
In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12.1
hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 12.2. The Independent Counsel shall be
selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee shall give written
notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel
so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement.
If the Independent Counsel is selected by the Board, the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of
the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements
of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. In either event, Indemnitee or the
Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver
to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection
may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent
Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the
factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.
If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel
unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without
merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2
hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the
Delaware Court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection
of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Delaware Court, and the person
with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 12.1
hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Agreement,
Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable
standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

 

12.3.         
The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify and hold harmless
such Independent Counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or its engagement pursuant hereto.

 

    10 

     

    

 

13.           
PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS.

 

13.1.         
In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making
such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted
a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 11.2 of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden
of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary
to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances
because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by the Disinterested
Directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action
or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

13.2.         
If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 12 of this Agreement to determine whether
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the
Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement
by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially
misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a final judicial determination that any or all such
indemnification is expressly prohibited under applicable law; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a
reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination
with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation
and/or information relating thereto.

 

13.3.         
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself
adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect
to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

13.4.         
For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s
action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied
to Indemnitee by the directors, managers, managing members or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the
advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager
or managing member or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board
or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser
or other expert selected by the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager
or managing member. The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way
the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
this Agreement.

 

    11 

     

    

 

13.5.         
The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member,
fiduciary, advisor, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right
to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

14.           
REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE.

 

14.1.         
In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, is not timely made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement
to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after
receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 5,
6, 7 or the last sentence of Section 12.1 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by
the Company of a written request therefor, (v) a contribution payment is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Section 8
of this Agreement, (vi) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not
made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vii) payment
to Indemnitee pursuant to any hold harmless or exoneration rights under this Agreement or otherwise is not made within ten (10) days
after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court
to such indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or advancement rights. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s
option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules and
Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Delaware law (without
regard to its conflict of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right
to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

 

14.2.         
In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement that Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 shall
be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason
of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee
shall be presumed to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and to receive advancement of Expenses under this
Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated
and to receive advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination
pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial
proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for
any advances pursuant to Section 10 until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement
to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).

 

    12 

     

    

 

14.3.         
If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant
to this Section 14, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact
necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

14.4.         
The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14
that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court
or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

 

14.5.         
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all Expenses and,
if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of such written request) pay to
Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with
any judicial proceeding or arbitration brought by Indemnitee (i) to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution agreement
or provision of the Charter or the Bylaws now or hereafter in effect; or (ii) for recovery or advances under any insurance
policy maintained by any person for the benefit of Indemnitee, regardless of the outcome and whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined
to be entitled to such indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration right, advancement, contribution or insurance recovery, as
the case may be (unless such judicial proceeding or arbitration was not brought by Indemnitee in good faith).

 

14.6.         
Interest shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the legal rate under Delaware law for amounts which the Company indemnifies,
holds harmless or exonerates, or advances, or is obliged to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate or advance for the period commencing
with the date on which Indemnitee requests indemnification, to be held harmless, exonerated, contribution, reimbursement or advancement
of any Expenses and ending with the date on which such payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.

 

15.            SECURITY.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary except for Section 27,
to the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security
to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral.
Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.

 

    13 

     

    

 

16.           
NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION.

 

16.1.         
The rights of Indemnitee as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee
may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution
of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict
any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened,
commenced or completed) or claim, issue or matter therein arising out of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee
in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable
law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement
of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter, the Bylaws or this Agreement, then this Agreement (without any
further action by the parties hereto) shall automatically be deemed to be amended to require that the Company indemnify Indemnitee
to the fullest extent permitted by law. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

16.2.         
The Charter, the Bylaws and the DGCL permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection
or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification
Arrangements”) on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against Indemnitee or incurred by or on behalf
of Indemnitee or in such capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of Indemnitee’s
status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions
of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in effect. The purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any such Indemnification
Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of Indemnitee under this Agreement
except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall not in
any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification
Arrangement.

 

16.3.         
To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers,
trustees, partners, managers, managing members, fiduciaries, advisor, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise
which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with
its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, trustee, partner, managers,
managing member, fiduciary, advisor, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice
from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise), the Company
has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable
action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance
with the terms of such policies.

 

    14 

     

    

 

16.4.         
In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be subrogated
to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all
action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit
to enforce such rights.

 

16.5.         
The Company’s obligation to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee
or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless
or exoneration payments or advancement of expenses from such Enterprise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary except for Section 27, (i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue
or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties
possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior to the Company’s satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this
Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee
holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage
rights against any person or entity other than the Company.

 

17.           
DURATION OF AGREEMENT.

 

All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein
shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee,
partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, advisor, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company and shall continue thereafter
so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced
by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or
not Indemnitee is acting in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement
can be provided under this Agreement.

 

18.           
SEVERABILITY.

 

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such
provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect
to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested thereby.

 

    15 

     

    

 

19.           
ENFORCEMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.

 

19.1.         
The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on
it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director, officer or key employee of the Company, and the Company acknowledges
that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company.

 

19.2.         
Without limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee under the Charter or the Bylaws of the Company as they may be amended from
time to time, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

 

19.3.         
The indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this
Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including
any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
or a director, officer, trustee, general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, advisor, employee or agent of any other
Enterprise at the Company’s request, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her spouse, assigns, heirs,
devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

 

19.4.         
The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise)
to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

19.5.         
The Company and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be
inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly,
the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforce this Agreement by seeking, among
other things, injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable
harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining
any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders,
preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith.
The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

    16 

     

    

 

20.           
MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.

 

No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall
be binding unless executed in writing by the Company and Indemnitee. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for

be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict

in the manner provided by Section 21 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient
service thereof.

23.           
IDENTICAL COUNTERPARTS.

 

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence
of this Agreement.

No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall
be asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action
of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year
period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter
period shall govern.

 

26.           
ADDITIONAL ACTS.

 

If for the validation of any of the provisions in this Agreement
any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company undertakes to

its obligations under this Agreement.

 

27.             WAIVER
OF CLAIMS TO TRUST ACCOUNT.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Indemnitee
hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (each, a “Claim”)
in or to any monies in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit
of the Company and holders of shares issued in such offering, and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result
of, or arising out of, any services provided to the Company and will not seek recourse against such trust account for any reason
whatsoever.

 

    18 

     

    

 

28.            MAINTENANCE
OF INSURANCE.

 

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the Company is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement,
one or more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide the officers/directors of the Company with coverage
for losses from wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under
this Agreement. The Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum
extent of the coverage available for any such director or officer under such policy or policies. In all such insurance policies,
the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee with the same rights and benefits as
are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors and officers.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A
Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar
governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing
of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

	 	5.	 Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any
existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of Outstanding Securities (including the Notes)
under the Indenture that is affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder of the Notes, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other
things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect. 
  

	 	6.	 Redemption. 

Prior to January 8, 2026, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part,
each at a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of: 
 (i)     100% of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed; or 
 (ii)     the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on January 8, 2026), exclusive of interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 5 basis points,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

On or after January 8, 2026, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in
part, each at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or
prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on January 8, 2026) that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes (assuming such Notes matured on January 8, 2026). 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average
of all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the
Issuer shall appoint to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer”
means (1) each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City
(a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Issuer will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer shall select. 

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

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to: (1) the yield, under the
heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in, or available through, the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or companion online data resource published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to
constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the
Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line
basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Issuer on the third business day preceding the redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term
“business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 

 The provisions of Article XI of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the
Notes. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the
redemption price will be calculated and the place or places that payments will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Notes
represented by a Global Note, or by lot, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note. 
  

	 	7.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with
respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes. Holders of Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein
provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events
of Default if it determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest. 
  

	 	8.	 Authentication. 

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 

 

	 	9.	 Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 

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

	 	10.	 CUSIP Numbers/ISIN. 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP
numbers/ISIN to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
hereon. 
  

	 	11.	 Governing Law. 

The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from February 8, 2021 or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which payment has been paid. Interest on this Note will be paid to, but excluding, the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Issuer
will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing August 8, 2021, to Holders of record at the close of business on the immediately preceding Interest Record Date; provided, that if an Interest Payment Date for
this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA Uniform Practice Code. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue

principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; or 
 (ii)     the sum of the present values of the remaining

1.    Interest 

Apple Inc. (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described
above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from February 8, 2021 or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which payment has been paid. Interest on this Note will be paid to, but excluding, the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Issuer
will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing August 8, 2021, to Holders of record at the close of business on the immediately preceding Interest Record Date; provided, that if an Interest Payment Date for
this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA Uniform Practice Code. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful. 
 2.    Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. 
 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act
as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent and Security Registrar without notice to the Holders. 

3.    Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 1.650% Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) issued under an indenture, dated as of November 5, 2018
(the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as supplemented by an Officer’s Certificate, dated February 8, 2021, issued pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture (together with the Base
Indenture, the “Indenture”). This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. 

4.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A
Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar
governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing
of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

 5.    Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any
existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of Outstanding Securities (including the Notes)
under the Indenture that is affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder of the Notes, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other
things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect. 
 6.    Redemption. 

Prior to November 8, 2030, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in
part, each at a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of: 
 (i)    100% of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed; or 
 (ii)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on November 8, 2030), exclusive of interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 10 basis points,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

On or after November 8, 2030, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in
part, each at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or
prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on November 8, 2030) that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes (assuming such Notes matured on November 8, 2030). 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average
of all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the
Issuer shall appoint to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer”
means (1) each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City
(a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Issuer will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer shall select. 

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

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to: (1) the yield, under the
heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in, or available through, the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or companion online data resource published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to
constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the
Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line
basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Issuer on the third business day preceding the redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term
“business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 

 The provisions of Article XI of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the
Notes. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the
redemption price will be calculated and the place or places that payments will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Notes
represented by a Global Note, or by lot, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note. 

7.    Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with
respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes. Holders of Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein
provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events
of Default if it determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest. 
 8.    Authentication.

 This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 

9.    Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 

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

 10.    CUSIP Numbers/ISIN. 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP
numbers/ISIN to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
hereon. 
 11.    Governing Law. 

The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA Uniform Practice Code. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue

 2.    Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. 
 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act
as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent and Security Registrar without notice to the Holders. 

3.    Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 2.650% Notes due 2051 (the “Notes”) issued under an indenture, dated as of November 5, 2018
(the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as supplemented by an Officer’s Certificate, dated February 8, 2021, issued pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture (together with the Base
Indenture, the “Indenture”). This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. 

4.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A
Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar
governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing
of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

 5.    Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any
existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of Outstanding Securities (including the Notes)
under the Indenture that is affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder of the Notes, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other
things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect. 
 6.    Redemption. 

Prior to August 8, 2050, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part,
each at a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of: 
 (i)    100% of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed; or 
 (ii)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on August 8, 2050), exclusive of interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus, in
each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 
 On or
after August 8, 2050, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, each at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant
record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on August 8, 2050) that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes (assuming such Notes matured on August 8, 2050). 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average
of all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the
Issuer shall appoint to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer”
means (1) each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City
(a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Issuer will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer shall select. 

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

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to: (1) the yield, under the
heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in, or available through, the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or companion online data resource published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to
constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the
Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line
basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Issuer on the third business day preceding the redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term
“business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 

 The provisions of Article XI of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the
Notes. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the
redemption price will be calculated and the place or places that payments will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Notes
represented by a Global Note, or by lot, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note. 

7.    Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with
respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes. Holders of Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein
provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events
of Default if it determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest. 
 8.    Authentication.

 This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 

9.    Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 

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

 10.    CUSIP Numbers/ISIN. 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP
numbers/ISIN to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
hereon. 
 11.    Governing Law.
