Any such additional Notes will have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date, redemption rights and other terms as any outstanding Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, the issue price and, in some cases, the first interest payment date. All Notes issued hereunder, including any additional Notes, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture; provided, however, that any such additional Notes that are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for United States federal income tax purposes shall be issued with CUSIP and ISIN numbers different from the CUSIP and ISIN numbers assigned to the Notes issued on the Issue Date.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 2.02 or elsewhere in the Indenture, or in the Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Company or authentication or delivery by the Trustee of Notes under the circumstances contemplated by Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.13 and 9.5 of the Base Indenture.

Section 2.03. Authentication and Delivery of the Notes.

In authenticating such Notes and accepting the additional responsibilities under the Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.1 of the Base Indenture) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(i) an Officers’ Certificate prepared in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Base Indenture; and

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Base Indenture, which shall state that the Base Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes have been duly authorized and, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determined that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the issue of such Notes pursuant to the Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, authentication and execution of any Notes by counterpart shall satisfy the requirements of the Indenture with respect to the authentication and execution of such Notes.

Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(b) The Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(c) The Notes shall be issued in registered form without coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The form of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication for the Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof.

(d) The entire initially issued principal amount of the Notes shall initially be evidenced by one or more Global Securities (collectively, the “Global Notes”) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, or another nominee of DTC. The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes and the Trustee to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes. So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered Holder and owner of the Global Notes, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and Holder of the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

Section 2.05. Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility for the actions or omissions of the Depositary or the accuracy of the books and records of the Depositary.

(i) The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of such Notes to be redeemed or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part.

(ii) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be valid and binding obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Certificated Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Certificated Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases to such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases to such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(e) Certificated Notes.

(i) If at any time the Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and the Depositary fails to appoint a successor Depositary or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, then the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under applicable law with respect to such Global Notes.

(b) the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the applicable Redemption Date) that would be due if such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date (as defined below), discounted to the applicable Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 0.10%;

provided, that, if the Company redeems the Notes on or after August 1, 2025 (one month prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the redemption price for those Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

The redemption price of Notes to be redeemed under this Section 2.08 will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company will provide (or direct the Trustee to provide) notice of any redemption of Notes, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date, to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed as provided in Section 11.2 of the Base Indenture. Notice of any redemption of any Notes in connection with a corporate transaction that is pending (including an equity offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or a change of control) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the transaction. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived by the Redemption Date. The Company shall notify each applicable Holder of any such rescission as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company’s determines that it will not be able satisfy or otherwise waive such conditions precedent. Once notice of redemption is mailed or sent, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. If the Company redeems fewer than all of the Notes, and the Notes are Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Depositary in accordance with its procedures. If the Notes to be redeemed are not Global Notes, the Trustee will select the particular Notes to be redeemed by lot, on a pro rata basis, or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

The Company and/or its Affiliates may directly or indirectly, at any time and from time to time, acquire all or any part of the outstanding Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to tender or exchange offer(s), open market purchase(s), negotiated transaction(s), or otherwise, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

Section 2.09. Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless a notice of redemption has been delivered pursuant to Section 2.08 prior to or within 30 days after such Change of Control Triggering Event stating that all of the Notes will be redeemed as provided for in Section 2.08, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction or transactions that would constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall provide notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or would constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and stating: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 2.09 and that all Notes properly tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which, except as contemplated by clause (3) below, shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is provided (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (3) if mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of Control, that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring, with the Change of Control Payment Date to occur no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date on which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs; (4) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (5) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and (8) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e–1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 2.09, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.09 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and (3) 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 or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Company shall promptly execute, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder, a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered by such Holder, if any; provided, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third Person makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.09 and all other provisions of the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 2.10. Sinking Fund. The Notes shall not have the benefit of a sinking fund.

Section 2.11. Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes. If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Company will make all payments on such Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. Otherwise, payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes; provided, however, that the Company may, at its option, elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Register of Notes; provided, further, that with respect to Notes represented by Global Notes, the Company shall make payments of principal and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Depositary.

Section 2.12. Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease. The Company may not consolidate or combine with or merge with or into or sell, assign (excluding any assignment solely as collateral for security purposes), convey, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person or Persons in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, unless:

(a) the Company is the successor, continuing or transferee Person or, if the Company is not the successor, continuing or transferee Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “surviving entity”) is a company organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that expressly assumes all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of related transactions, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(c) the Company or the surviving entity delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that the transaction or series of related transactions and a supplemental indenture, if any, complies with the Indenture.

If any consolidation or merger of the Company or any sale, assignment, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole occurs in accordance with clauses (a)-(c) of this Section 2.12, the surviving entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named as the initial issuer under the Indenture. The Company will (except in the case of a lease) be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Notes, and may be liquidated and dissolved.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel will be required under clause (c) of this Section in connection with a consolidation, combination, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition involving only the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries where the Company is the successor, continuing or transferee Person.

This Section shall apply to the Notes in lieu of Section 4.1 of the Base Indenture, which shall not apply to the Notes.

Section 2.13. Limitation on Liens.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, incur any Debt secured by a Lien on any Principal Property or any shares of Capital Stock of any Consolidated Subsidiary that owns a Principal Property (other than any Subsidiary that is principally engaged in leasing or receivables financing transactions or that holds as all or substantially all of its assets equity interests in one or more such Subsidiaries), in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, without making effective provision that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt for so long as such secured Debt remains outstanding, unless, upon giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and any substantially simultaneous permanent repayment of any secured Debt, the aggregate amount of all Debt secured by a Lien on any Principal Property or on any shares of Capital Stock of any Consolidated Subsidiary that owns a Principal Property (other than any Subsidiary that is principally engaged in leasing or receivables financing transactions or that holds as all or substantially all of its assets equity interests in one or more such Subsidiaries), together with all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions involving Principal Properties, would not exceed 15% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries. The aggregate amount of all secured Debt referred to in the preceding sentence shall exclude any then existing secured Debt that has been secured equally and ratably with the Notes.

(i) Liens on any property or shares of Capital Stock existing at the time of acquisition thereof; provided that any such Lien (1) was in existence prior to the date of such acquisition, (2) was not incurred in contemplation thereof and (3) does not extend to any other property or shares of Capital Stock (other than proceeds);

(ii) Liens in favor of the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary;

(iii) Liens in favor of governmental bodies to secure progress or advance payments pursuant to any contract or provision of any statute;

(vi) Liens on property or shares of Capital Stock of any entity existing at the time such entity becomes a Subsidiary;

(vii) Liens in favor of a governmental agency to qualify the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary to do business, maintain self-insurance or obtain other benefits, or Liens under workers’ compensation laws, unemployment insurance laws, social security laws or regulations or similar legislation;

(xi) any refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement, in whole or in part, of any Lien referred to above, to the extent that such refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement Lien is limited to the same property or shares of Capital Stock that secured the Lien so refinanced, refunded, extended, renewed or replaced (and proceeds thereof and any after-acquired collateral within the scope of the collateral granting clause that was in effect prior to such refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement) and will not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement; provided that such principal amount of Debt so secured shall continue to be included in the computation in the first paragraph of this covenant and under Section 2.14 to the extent so included at the time of such refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement.

For purposes of this Section 2.13, an “acquisition” of property (including real, personal or intangible property or shares of Capital Stock) shall include any transaction or series of related transactions by which the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary acquires, directly or indirectly, an interest, or an additional interest (to the extent thereof), in such property, including an acquisition through merger or consolidation with, or an acquisition of an interest in, a Person owning an interest in such property.

Section 2.14. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless:

(2) the fair market value of the Principal Property so leased at the time of such transaction;

to either (A) the retirement or prepayment, and in either case, the permanent reduction, of Funded Debt of the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary (including that in the case of a revolver or similar arrangement that makes credit available, such commitment is so permanently reduced by such amount); or (B) the purchase of other property that will constitute Principal Property.

(b) The restriction set forth in Section 2.14(a) shall not apply to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, and there shall be excluded from Attributable Debt in any computation described in this Section 2.14 and in Section 2.13 with respect to any such transaction:

(i) solely between the Company and a Consolidated Subsidiary or solely between Consolidated Subsidiaries;

CUMMINS INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Indiana (the “Company,” which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assignees, the principal sum of [_________________ Dollars ($__________)[, as may be revised from time to time by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases attached hereto,]¹ on September 1, 2025, and to pay interest thereon from August 24, 2020, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2021, at the rate of 0.750% per annum, until the principal hereof becomes due and payable, and at such rate on any overdue principal and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) on any overdue installment of interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 0.750% Senior Note Due 2025 (this “Note,” and all of the Notes collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”) (or one or more predecessor debt securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, which shall be the February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment date. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such regular record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor debt securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of them.

Payments under this Note will be made in the manner contemplated by Section 2.11 of the Supplemental Indenture (as defined below).

Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been duly executed by the Trustee referred to herein by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Securities” and each, a “Security”) issued under an Indenture dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), as amended, modified and supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 24, 2020 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, to which Indenture 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 Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000, except that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, “reopen” the series and issue additional Notes that have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date and other terms as this Note, other than with respect to the date of issuance, the issue price and, in some cases, the first interest payment date.

The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Notes at any time and from time to time as described in Section 2.08 of the Supplemental Indenture. In addition, the Company and/or its Affiliates may directly or indirectly, at any time and from time to time, acquire all or any part of the outstanding Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to tender or exchange offer(s), open market purchase(s), negotiated transaction(s), or otherwise, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless a notice of redemption has been delivered pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Supplemental Indenture prior to or within 30 days after such Change of Control Triggering Event stating that all of the Notes will be redeemed as provided for in Section 2.08 of the Supplemental Indenture, each Holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to make an offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part of each Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Additional terms and conditions relating to Change of Control Offers are set forth in the Indenture.

The Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase the Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision.

The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries to consolidate or combine with, merge or sell, assign, convey, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets, to incur Debt secured by a Lien or to enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions, in each case in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture.
