DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Definition of Terms.

Unless the context otherwise requires:

each term defined in the Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Supplemental Indenture;

the singular includes the plural and vice versa; and

headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation.

“Below Investment Grade Ratings Event” means that on any day commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for up to an additional 60 days for so long as either of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change), the applicable series of Notes are downgraded to a rating that is below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies (regardless of whether the rating prior to such downgrade was Investment Grade or below Investment Grade).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries) 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 Stock of the Company or other Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (2) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the assets of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to one or more Persons (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries); or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is composed of members who are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means, with respect to a series of Notes, the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event.

-2-

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date the applicable series of Notes were initially issued or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or any successor to its rating agency business.

“Rating Agency” means (a) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (b) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the applicable series of Notes or fails to make a rating of the applicable series of Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (and certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for the agency that ceased such rating or failed to make it publicly available.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. or any successor to its rating agency business.

“Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

REGIONS BANK,
as Trustee

	By:
		Authorized Officer

[Signature Page to Global Security]

(FORM OF REVERSE OF 2029 NOTE)

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2024, between the Company and Regions Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

At any time prior to November 1, 2029 (the “2029 Par Call Date”), the Securities are subject to redemption upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Securities and (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming such Securities matured on the 2029 Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after the 2029 Par Call Date, the Securities are subject to redemption in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, from time to time at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the 2029 Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the 2029 Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

A-3

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the 2029 Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the 2029 Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the 2029 Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the 2029 Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the 2029 Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the 2029 Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the 2029 Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part.

In connection with any redemption of Securities, any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of such redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall have been satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

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

A-4

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and other covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1301 of the Indenture to obtain a covenant defeasance with respect to this Security, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 2.10 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture (in addition to the Sections provided in Section 1303 of the Indenture) with respect to this Security on and after the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1304 of the Indenture are satisfied.

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

Except as set forth in Article Thirteen of the Indenture, no reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

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

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000.00 and multiples of $1,000.00 thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

A-5

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

(FORM OF REVERSE OF 2034 NOTE)

At any time prior to September 1, 2034 (the “2034 Par Call Date”), the Securities are subject to redemption upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Securities and (ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming such Securities matured on the 2034 Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after the 2034 Par Call Date, the Securities are subject to redemption in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, from time to time at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the 2034 Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the 2034 Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

B-3

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the 2034 Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the 2034 Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the 2034 Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the 2034 Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the 2034 Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the 2034 Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the 2034 Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

B-4

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and other covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1301 of the Indenture to obtain a covenant defeasance with respect to this Security, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 3.10 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture (in addition to the Sections provided in Section 1303 of the Indenture) with respect to this Security on and after the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1304 of the Indenture are satisfied.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
