Exhibit A-4


[Form of Reverse Side of Initial Note]

6.250% Senior Notes due 2069 (the “Notes”)

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST.

Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, or for any period shorter than a full quarterly interest period, computed on the basis of a 90-day quarter of three 30-day months) shall accrue on the principal amount of this Note from and including    , 2025 until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 6.250%.

The Issuer promises to pay interest quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be    , 2025. If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period, except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT.

The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date referred to on the face hereof, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

Exhibit A-5


(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.

Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE.

The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 15, 2022 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Issuer, Parent and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the    Supplemental Indenture dated as of    , 2025 (the “Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the    Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, by each of the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 1, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

The redemption price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer will cause to be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) notice of any redemption, with respect to the Notes, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each registered holder of the Notes to be redeemed.

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

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

 

Exhibit A-6


(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Notice of redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $25 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $25, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, state that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of Indebtedness or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed).

(8) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(9) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(10) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in Article IX of the Base Indenture.

(11) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable;

 

Exhibit A-7


provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

(12) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
