ARTICLE 2

The Notes

Section 2.01. Designation.

The Company hereby establishes a series of Securities, one series designated the “2.650% Senior Notes due 2027” for issuance under the Indenture.

Section 2.02. Principal Amount; Series Treatment.

The Notes shall be initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000,000. However, the Company may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes, issue additional Notes, so that such additional Securities and the Outstanding Notes shall be consolidated together and form a single series of Securities under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture.

Any additional Notes issued under this Section 2.02 shall have the same terms in all respects as the Notes, except that interest will accrue on the additional Notes from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes (other than the additional Notes) or, if no interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes from the first date that the Outstanding Notes were originally issued under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture.

For all purposes of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, all Notes, whether Initial Notes or additional Notes issued under Section 2.02, shall constitute one series of Securities and shall vote together as one series of Securities.

Section 2.03. Maturity.

Unless previously redeemed or repurchased in full in accordance with Article 3 of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes will become due and payable on July 1, 2027.

Section 2.04. Interest.

The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 2.650% per annum from, and including, June 19, 2020 until their maturity or earlier redemption or repurchase, such interest to be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, to the Holders of record of the Notes as of the close of business on the June 15 and December 15, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding such interest payment dates, commencing, in the case of the Notes issued prior to such date, on January 1, 2021.

Section 2.05. Form of Notes.

The Notes shall contain the terms set forth in, and shall be substantially in the form of, Exhibit A hereto. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Notwithstanding Section 303 of the Indenture, the Notes do not require a corporate seal to be reproduced thereon.

So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated herein, all of the Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary.

The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global securities in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Global Notes”), registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, in accordance with the instructions given by the Holder thereof, as hereinafter provided.

The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in the Indenture, beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Note.

Any Global Note shall represent such of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. Payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof.

The Company and the Trustee may treat the Depositary (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner and Holder of the Notes registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Holders under the Indenture, registering the transfer of such Notes, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any participant in the Depositary, any Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes under or through the Depositary or any such participant, or any other Person which is not shown on the Security Register as being a Holder of Notes, the accuracy of any records maintained by the Depositary or any such participant, the payment by the Depositary or any such participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Holders under the Indenture, any consent given or other action taken by the Depositary as Holder, or any selection by the Depositary of any participant or other Person to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Depositary and the Trustee is hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and applicable Depositary procedures.

Section 2.06. Transfer Restrictions.

The following provisions shall apply only to Global Notes:

Each Global Note authenticated under this Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or Trustee if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Supplemental Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof except as provided in Section 305 of the Indenture. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

Securities issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued pursuant to Section 305 of the Indenture.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been redeemed, repurchased, canceled or exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is redeemed, repurchased, canceled or exchanged for Notes in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Trustee, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

Section 2.07. Transfers and Exchanges.

The Notes shall be transferred and exchanged by the Holders thereof and the Trustee in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 305 the Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

Redemption and Repurchase Of The Notes

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption by Company.

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Note set forth as Exhibit A.

Section 3.02. Change of Control Repurchase Event.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 3.01, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be repurchased plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of a Change of Control, the Company will mail 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 Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control

Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this Supplemental Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date for the Notes, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

•

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;

•

deposit with the Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

•

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Company.

The Trustee will promptly mail its check or otherwise cause to be paid to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of such Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control 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 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

Section 3.03. Special Mandatory Redemption.

(a) If the Company does not consummate the Delphi Transaction on or prior to April 28, 2021, or the Transaction Agreement is terminated any time prior to such date (without replacement thereof), then the Company shall redeem the Outstanding Notes (a “Special Mandatory Redemption”) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The “Special Mandatory Redemption Date” means the earlier to occur of (i) May 28, 2021, if the Delphi Transaction has not been consummated on or prior to April 28, 2021, or (ii) the 30^th day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) following the termination of the Transaction Agreement (without replacement thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such interest payment dates to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance with the Notes and the Indenture.

(b) The Company will cause the notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption to be sent, with a copy to the Trustee, within five Business Days after the occurrence of the event triggering the obligation to effectuate the Special Mandatory Redemption to each Holder at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes will cease to bear interest.

ARTICLE 4

Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities (herein called the “Securities”) of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 23, 1999, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. successor in interest to X.X.

(successor in interest to The Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association), a national banking association, as trustee (the “Original Trustee”), as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 19, 2020, (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”), and as it may be supplemented from time to time (herein called, collectively, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a national banking association, as series trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to a series of which this Note is a part), 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 Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities designated as “2.650% Senior Notes due 2027” (collectively, the “Notes”).

Optional Redemption. Prior to May 1, 2027 (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem this Note at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed; and

Exhibit A-2

(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the principal amount of this Note being redeemed that would be due if such principal amount of this Note matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to the redemption date.

In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem this Note at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received, or (3) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

Exhibit A-3

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” 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 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 annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

The Company will mail notice of any such redemption at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company 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.

Exhibit A-4

Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver applicable to the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Note and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.
