Supplemental Indenture constitutes an integral part of the Indenture with respect to the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are a series of Notes referred to in the Indenture. 

SECTION 1.02.    Definitions. For all purposes of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the following terms shall
have the respective meanings set forth in this Section. 

 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the
direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its

indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than
number of shares; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control by
virtue of clause (1) or (3) above if (a) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of a holding company (which shall include a parent company) as a result of such transaction and (b)(i) the holders of the Voting
Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (ii) no “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having
an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the period from the Redemption Date to the maturity of the Senior Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing

 “Comparable
Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the arithmetic average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations,
or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date. 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who
(1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Senior Notes; or (2) whose election or nomination to such Board of Directors was approved of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such

 3 

 
of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) as a replacement agency for the agency that ceased to make such a rating publicly

intention of the Company to effect a Change of Control or (b) the occurrence of such Change of Control and (ii) ends 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the
Senior Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition
of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing that the reduction was the
result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Ratings
Event).

redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due but for such redemption after the related Redemption Date to the Maturity Date of such Senior Notes; provided, however, that, if such

 (a)    In the event that (i) the Merger does not take place on or prior
to December 31, 2017, or (ii) at any time prior to December 31, 2017, the Merger Agreement is terminated (any such event, a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company shall redeem all of the Senior Notes (a

 (b)    Notice of the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event and that a Special
Mandatory Redemption is to occur (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Notice”) shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee and by first class mail to each Holder’s registered address or electronically delivered according to
the procedures of DTC as to Global Notes, within ten Business Days after any Special Mandatory Redemption Event. At the Company’s written request (sent at least five Business Days prior to the date such notice is to be sent to Holders), the

Redemption Date”). 
 (c)    If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all of the
Senior Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with a Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, then on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Senior Notes shall cease to

(d)    Upon the consummation of the Merger, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03 regarding the Special
Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply to the Senior Notes. 
 SECTION 2.04.    Optional Redemption. This
Section 2.04 applies to the Senior Notes, but not to any other series of securities issued under the Indenture. 

(a)    The Company may redeem the Senior Notes at its option at any time, either in whole or in part, upon at least 30
days’, but not more than 60 days’, prior notice given by mail (or through the facilities of the Depositary, if applicable) to each Holder of such Senior Notes to be redeemed. If the Company elects to redeem Senior Notes at any time prior
to the Par Redemption Date, it shall pay a Redemption Price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date: 

(i)    100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date; or

  
 7 

 (ii)    the sum of the present values of the Remaining
Scheduled Payments. In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company shall discount such payments to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year

 If the
Senior Notes are redeemed at any time on or after the Par Redemption Date, the Company shall pay a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but
not including, the Redemption Date. 
 Any redemption pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.04(b) through (i) below. 
 (b)    If the Company elects to redeem the Senior Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 2.04(a) above, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (1) the Redemption Date, and (2) the CUSIP
and/or ISIN numbers of the Senior Notes. 
 (c)    If fewer than all the Senior Notes are to be redeemed, the particular
Senior Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee may deem fair
and appropriate (and in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures, if any), and may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (so that any Senior Notes remaining after such redemption are equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for the Senior Notes or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Senior Notes of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for the Senior Notes. 

(d)    The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Senior Notes selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Senior Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 (e)    For all
purposes of this Second Supplemental Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Senior Notes shall relate, in the case of any Senior Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of
the principal of such Senior Note which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 (f)    Notice of redemption of Senior Notes to
be redeemed, either in whole or in part, shall be given to the Holders thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed (or sent through the facilities of the Depositary, if applicable) not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each such Holder at such Holder’s last address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall state: 

(i)    the Redemption Date; 

  
 8 

 (ii)    the Redemption Price, or if not then ascertainable,
the manner of calculating the Redemption Price; 
 (iii)    if fewer than all Outstanding Notes are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Senior Notes to be redeemed from the Holder to whom the notice is given and that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such
Senior Note, a new Note or Notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in accordance with Section 2.04(i); 

(iv)    that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each Senior
Note called for redemption, and that interest, if any, thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; 

(v)    the place where Senior Notes called for redemption are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Indenture; 

(vi)    the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(vii)    that the Senior Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
Redemption Price; and 
 (viii)    the CUSIP and/or ISIN number, and that no representation is made as to
the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Senior Notes. 
 Notice of
redemption of Senior Notes shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; provided, however, that if the Company requests the Trustee to give such notice, it shall
provide an execution version of such notice to the Trustee at least five Business Days before such notice is required to be sent to the Holders (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee). 

(g)    On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee
or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 9.03 of the Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all
the Senior Notes that are to be redeemed on that date. 
 (h)    Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid,
the Senior Notes (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date therein specified, and from and after such date (unless
the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Senior Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Senior Notes for redemption in accordance with the notice, such Senior Notes shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price. Any installment of interest due and payable on or prior to the 

  
 9 

 
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Senior Notes registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and the provisions of Section 2.06 of the
Indenture. If any Senior Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor by the Senior Note. 

(i)    Any Senior Note that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency maintained by the
Company pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Indenture (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Senior Note without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes,
of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of such Senior Note so surrendered. 

SECTION 2.05.    Change of Control Repurchase. This Section 2.05 applies to the Senior Notes, but not to any
other series of securities issued under the Indenture. 
 (a)    If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless

multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s Senior Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes repurchased to, but not
including, the date of repurchase. 
 (b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the
option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall mail (or send through the facilities of the Depositary, if applicable) a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the
Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Senior Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than
30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent. The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control
Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. 
 (c)    The Company shall comply
with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior

Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn

in accordance with the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer, if any, set forth herein or in any legend on such Definitive Note) and Section 2.04 of the Indenture, including, if
applicable, any legal opinions, certifications and other information contemplated by such Senior Note, this Second Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture. 

(b)    Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note
may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a 

  
 12 

 
Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, together with: 

(i)    written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an
adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary
account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian,
the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in
such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities
pursuant to Section 2.04(4) of the Indenture, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a written request from the Company, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 

(c)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes and Beneficial Interests Therein. 

(i)    The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through
the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any), Section 2.04 of the Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. 

(ii)    If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial
interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

(d)    Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

(i)    To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate, Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Trustee’s request. 
 (ii)    No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof). 

(e)    All Senior Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture
and the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture as the Senior Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

  
 13 

 (f)    No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(i)    The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a
member of, or a Participant in the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Senior Notes or
with respect to the delivery to any Participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Senior
Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Senior Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a
Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, Participants and any beneficial owners. 

(ii)    The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with
any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Second Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Senior Note (including any transfers between or among Participants, members or beneficial
owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as may be required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture, and to examine

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 

 

	1.	Interest 

 Keysight Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest
semiannually on April 6 and October 6 of each year, beginning on October 6, 2017. Interest on this Note shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or
duly provided for, from April 6, 2017, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

If any interest or other payment date of a note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any,
or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that interest or other payment date, as the case may be, to the
date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The Company shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date. Holders must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Payments in respect of this Note represented by a Global Note
(including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominees, as the case may be, as the Holder of such Global Note. The Company will make all payments in respect of any
certificated Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof

unclaimed for two years, the Trustee shall pay the money back to the Company at its request. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as unsecured general creditors and the Trustee and the Paying
Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

  
 A-4
