GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE REMARKETABLE SENIOR NOTES

Section 201.        Designation and Principal Amount. There is hereby established a new series of Senior Notes to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the Company’s Remarketable Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Remarketable Senior Notes”) and limited in aggregate principal amount to $373,750,000, except as contemplated in Section 301(2) of the Original Indenture.

Section 202.        Stated Maturity. The “Stated Maturity” of the Remarketable Senior Notes is November 1, 2031.

Section 203.        Form of Payment; Minimum Transfer Restriction.

(a)               Except as provided in Section 204, the Remarketable Senior Notes shall be issued in fully registered definitive form without coupons. All Remarketable Senior Notes shall have identical terms. Remarketable Senior Notes corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units shall be registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent. Principal of the Remarketable Senior Notes will be payable (subject to the last sentence of this Section 203(a)), the transfer of such Remarketable Senior Notes will be registrable, and such Remarketable Senior Notes will be exchangeable for Remarketable Senior Notes of a like aggregate principal amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in the form of Remarketable Senior Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, payment of interest will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or, if such Person so requests and designates an account in writing to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, by wire transfer to such account, and provided, further, that the Company, in its discretion may remove the Paying Agent and may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents (including the Company or any of its affiliates). Payments with respect to any Global Note or any Remarketable Senior Note corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units will be made by wire transfer to the Depository or in accordance with any other applicable procedures of the Depository.

(b)               The Remarketable Senior Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that upon the release by the Collateral Agent of Remarketable Senior Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes in accordance with Section 3.15 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, if any Holder or Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to receive Remarketable Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request, on behalf of such Holder or Beneficial Owner, that the Company issue Remarketable Senior Notes in denominations of $50, or integral multiples thereof, in exchange for Remarketable Senior Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. The second paragraph of Section 201 of the Original Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Remarketable Senior Notes, and any reference in the Original Indenture to such provision shall, for purposes of the Remarketable Senior Notes, be deemed to refer instead to this Section 203(b).

Section 204.        Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Remarketable Senior Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary. Remarketable Senior Notes corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are no longer a component of the Corporate Units and are released from the Collateral Account will be initially issued in permanent global form (a “Global Note”), and if issued as one or more Global Notes, the Depository shall be The Depository Trust Company or such other depository that is a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate. On the date on which the Remarketable Senior Notes registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 203 are issued, the Company shall also issue one or more Global Notes, registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, each having a zero principal balance. Upon the creation of Treasury Units, or the re-creation of Corporate Units or in any other case where the Collateral Agent releases Remarketable Senior Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, an appropriate annotation shall be made by the Collateral Agent on the Pledged Note held by the Securities Intermediary and credited to the Collateral Account and, upon receipt of the confirmation and instructions contemplated by Section 209, by the Trustee on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Remarketable Senior Notes on the Global Notes held by or on behalf of the Depository. Except upon recreation of Corporate Units, Remarketable Senior Notes represented by the Global Notes will be exchangeable for Remarketable Senior Notes in certificated form only (x) if the Depository (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Notes or (B) has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository that is a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after such notice or cessation, or (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of Event of Default or any other event that after notice or lapse of time, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Remarketable Senior Notes and any beneficial owner of a Global Note requests that its beneficial interest be exchanged for a Remarketable Senior Note in certificated form; provided, subject to Section 203, that the Remarketable Senior Notes in certificated form so issued in exchange for the Global Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000 above that amount and shall be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of the Global Note to be exchanged. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Remarketable Senior Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to clause (x) of the fourth sentence of this Section 204 shall be exchangeable for Remarketable Senior Notes in certificated form registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. The second sentence of Section 203(c)(1) and Sections 203(c)(2) and 203(c)(3) of the Original Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Remarketable Senior Notes, and any reference in the Original Indenture to such provisions shall, for purposes of the Remarketable Senior Notes, be deemed to refer instead to the fourth sentence of this Section 204. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or verify compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Remarketable Senior 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.

Section 205.        Interest.

(a)               Subject to Section 904, interest on the Remarketable Senior Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year (each, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 205(b), an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 1, 2027, and at Stated Maturity, to the Person in whose name the relevant Remarketable Senior Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date except that interest payable at the Stated Maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. If any Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity or the date (if any) on which the Company is required to purchase the Remarketable Senior Notes pursuant to Section 905 is not a Business Day, then the applicable payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue or be paid in respect of such delay. Section 113 of the Original Indenture is hereby superseded in its entirety, with respect to the Remarketable Senior Notes, by the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)               The Remarketable Senior Notes will bear interest initially at the rate of 5.300% per year (the “Securities Rate”) from and including November 3, 2026 to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment, or in the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Remarketing Settlement Date. In the event of a Successful Remarketing of the Remarketable Senior Notes, the interest rate applicable to the Remarketable Senior Notes may be reset by the Remarketing Agent to the applicable Reset Rate with effect from the Remarketing Settlement Date, as set forth in Section 903. If the interest rate is so reset, the Remarketable Senior Notes will bear interest at the applicable Reset Rate from, and including, the Remarketing Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment. In the event of a Successful Remarketing, following the applicable Remarketing Settlement Date, interest on Remarketable Senior Notes will be payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day. If there is no Successful Remarketing, the interest rate will not be reset, the Interest Payment Dates shall remain the same and the Remarketable Senior Notes shall continue to bear interest at the Securities Rate. The Remarketable Senior Notes shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Securities Rate, unless a Successful Remarketing shall have occurred, in which case on and after the Remarketing Settlement Date the Remarketable Senior Notes shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Reset Rate.

Section 206.        Events of Default. An Event of Default as defined in the Original Indenture shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Remarketable Senior Notes. In addition, an Event of Default with respect to the Remarketable Senior Notes will occur if the Company fails to pay the Put Price of any Remarketable Senior Note on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date after a Holder’s Put Right has been exercised pursuant to Section 905 (“Put Right Default”). For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Remarketable Senior Notes, no breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Original Indenture or the terms of the Remarketable Senior Notes shall be an Event of Default except those that are specifically identified as an Event of Default under the Original Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt in Section 501(3) of the Original Indenture) or a Put Right Default. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Put Right Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice of such Put Right Default at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Remarketable Senior Notes, the Company and the Indenture.

Section 207.        No Defeasance. The provisions of Sections 403 and 404 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Remarketable Senior Notes, and the provisions of Section 401 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Remarketable Senior Notes to the extent the provisions of Section 401 would allow for satisfaction and discharge of the Remarketable Senior Notes prior to the Stated Maturity, except in the case of an exercise by a Holder of the Put Right pursuant to Section 905 on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

Section 208.        No Sinking Fund or Repayment at Option of the Holder. The Remarketable Senior Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund or analogous provision and, except in the case of the Put Right, shall not be repayable at the option of a Holder thereof prior to the Stated Maturity.

Section 209.        Increase and Decrease in Pledged Notes. In the event that any Remarketable Senior Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes with respect to any Corporate Units in global form are to be released from the Pledge following a Termination Event, Collateral Substitution, Cash Settlement, Successful Remarketing, Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (a “Released Note”), such release and delivery shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Securities Intermediary, at the direction of the Collateral Agent, on the Remarketable Senior Note held by the Securities Intermediary and credited to the Collateral Account (the “Pledged Note”) reflecting a reduction in the principal amount of such Pledged Note equal in amount (the “Reduced Principal Amount”) to the principal amount of the Released Note. The Collateral Agent shall confirm any such Reduced Principal Amount by delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Pledged Note evidencing such Reduced Principal Amount to (i) the Trustee at the email address or other address of the Trustee provided for notices to the Trustee in Section 105 of the Original Indenture (or at such other email address or other address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Company at the facsimile number, email address or other address of the Company for notices to the Company on the signature page of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (or at such other facsimile number, email address or other address as the Company shall provide to the Collateral Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Company shall deliver an instruction letter to the Collateral Agent to instruct the Securities Intermediary to deliver the Pledged Note (which will be evidenced by the original definitive note held by the Securities Intermediary) to the Trustee along with an instruction to coordinate the specified decrease in the Pledged Note and the corresponding increase in the Global Note in an amount equal to the Reduced Principal Amount in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, and the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note to reflect such increase. Except in the case of a release from the Pledge following a Termination Event, the Trustee shall then promptly return the Pledged Notes to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account. Other than the exercise of reasonable care in the handling of the Pledged Notes, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible for perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or lien granted under the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. In the event that a Remarketable Senior Note is transferred to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 3.14 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (a “Subjected Note”) in connection with the re-creation of Corporate Units, such transfer shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Securities Intermediary, at the direction of the Collateral Agent, on the Pledged Note held by the Securities Intermediary reflecting an increase in the principal amount of such Pledged Note equal in amount (the “Increased Principal Amount”) to the principal amount of such Subjected Note. The Collateral Agent shall confirm any such Increased Principal Amount by delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Pledged Note evidencing such Increased Principal Amount to (i) the Trustee at the email address or other address of the Trustee provided for notices to the Trustee in Section 105 of the Original Indenture (or at such other email address or other address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Company at the facsimile number, email address or other address of the Company for notices to the Company on the signature page of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (or at such other facsimile number, email address or other address as the Company shall provide to the Collateral Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Company shall deliver an instruction letter to the Collateral Agent directing the Securities Intermediary to deliver the Pledged Note (which will be evidenced by the original definitive note held by the Securities Intermediary) to the Trustee along with an instruction to coordinate the specified increase in the Pledged Notes and the corresponding decrease in the Global Note in an amount equal to the Increased Principal Amount in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, and the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note to reflect such decrease. The Trustee shall then promptly return the Pledged Notes to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account.

Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, without independent investigation or verification, on any confirmation, instruction letter or endorsement delivered pursuant to this Section 209, and shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted in good faith in reliance thereon.

Section 210.        No Additional Amounts. The Company will not pay any additional amounts to any Holder in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge.

Section 211.        Ranking. For the avoidance of doubt, the Remarketable Senior Notes shall rank on a parity with all Senior Notes of other series issued under the Original Indenture.

The Company shall, no later than (i) in the case of an Optional Remarketing, five Business Days prior to the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period or (ii) in the case of a Final Remarketing, seven days prior to the first day of the Final Remarketing Period, request that the Depository or its nominee notify the Beneficial Owners or Depository Participants holding Separate Notes, Corporate Units and Treasury Units, and shall provide a copy of such request to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent, in the case of an Optional Remarketing, of the Company’s intent to attempt an Optional Remarketing in the Applicable Remarketing Period, and in all cases, of the proposed Remarketing Dates and the procedures to be followed in each Remarketing, including the procedures to be followed by Holders of Separate Notes to participate in a Remarketing, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to create Treasury Units or Holders of Treasury Units to recreate Corporate Units, as the case may be, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to effect an Early Settlement and, in the case of a Final Remarketing, applicable procedures to effect a Cash Settlement and the applicable procedures that must be followed by a Holder of Separate Notes if such Holder wishes to exercise its Put Right or by a Holder of Corporate Units if such Holder elects not to exercise its Put Right.

(b)               At any time after notice is given by the Company in accordance with Section 901(a), other than during a Blackout Period, each Holder of Separate Notes may elect to have Separate Notes held by such Holder remarketed in the applicable Remarketing for which such notice was given. A Holder making such an election must notify the Custodial Agent and deliver such Separate Notes to the Custodial Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset Rate is established in the Remarketing. Any such notice and delivery may be withdrawn, other than during a Blackout Period, by notifying the Custodial Agent on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery not withdrawn in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence will be irrevocable with respect to each Remarketing to occur during the Applicable Remarketing Period. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, by (or, in the case of a Final Remarketing, promptly after) 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period, the Custodial Agent, based on the notices and deliveries received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Remarketing Agent of the aggregate principal amount of Separate Notes surrendered for Remarketing. Pursuant and subject to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, Remarketable Senior Notes that underlie Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed surrendered for Remarketing (unless, in the case of a Final Remarketing, the Holder thereof has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent in writing of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and will be remarketed in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

(c)               The right of each Holder of Remarketed Notes to have such Remarketable Senior Notes remarketed on any Remarketing Date and sold on any Optional Remarketing Date or Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be, shall be subject to the conditions that (i)(A) the Remarketing Agent conducts any Optional Remarketing or (B) in the case of a Final Remarketing, that no Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, (ii) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to the Optional Remarketing Date or Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be, (iii) the Remarketing Agent is able to find a purchaser or purchasers for Remarketed Notes at the Remarketing Price based on the Reset Rate and (iv) each condition precedent to settlement of the Remarketed Notes set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is satisfied or waived.

(d)               Neither the Trustee, the Company, nor the Remarketing Agent shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon surrender of Remarketable Senior Notes for remarketing.

Section 902.        Remarketing.

(a)               Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, if the Company elects to conduct an Optional Remarketing during an Optional Remarketing Period selected by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Remarketing Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price as provided in the Remarketing Agreement.

(b)               In the case there is no Successful Optional Remarketing during the Period for Optional Remarketing, either because the Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket the Remarketable Senior Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price or because a condition precedent to the Remarketing has not been satisfied, and unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, during the Final Remarketing Period, the Remarketing Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. The Remarketing on any Remarketing Date will be considered successful if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the applicable Remarketing Price. The Company has the right to postpone any Optional Remarketing for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion. The Company has the right to postpone the Final Remarketing in its sole and absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Final Remarketing Period.

(c)               The Company may only remarket the Remarketable Senior Notes as fixed-rate notes.

Section 903.        Reset Rate.

(a)               In connection with each Remarketing, in order to remarket the Remarketable Senior Notes, the Remarketing Agent, in consultation with the Company, may reset the interest rate on the Remarketable Senior Notes either upward or downward (the new interest rate referred to as the “Reset Rate”).

(b)               Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Reset Rate shall in any event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

(c)               In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the interest rate for the Remarketable Senior Notes shall be reset on the Remarketing Settlement Date to the applicable Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent, in consultation with the Company, under the Remarketing Agreement, and the Company shall (1) notify the Trustee by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (2) request the Depository to notify its Depository Participants holding Remarketable Senior Notes, in each case, of the Reset Rate and the Interest Payment Dates established for the Remarketable Senior Notes during the Remarketing no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the date of the Successful Remarketing. Upon a Successful Remarketing, if the interest rate for the Remarketable Senior Notes is reset, the Reset Rate shall apply to all Outstanding Remarketable Senior Notes, whether or not the Holders of all Outstanding Remarketable Senior Notes participated in such Remarketing.

(d)               If a reset of the interest rate on the Remarketable Senior Notes occurs pursuant to a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Reset Rate of the Remarketable Senior Notes shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent, in consultation with the Company, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the interest rate the Remarketable Senior Notes should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds to equal at least 100% of the sum of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price and the Separate Notes Purchase Price (if any).

(e)               If a reset of the interest rate on the Remarketable Senior Notes occurs pursuant to a Successful Final Remarketing, the Reset Rate shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent, in consultation with the Company, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the rate the Remarketable Senior Notes should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds to equal at least 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Remarketable Senior Notes to be remarketed.

(f)                In the event of a Successful Remarketing, on and after the Remarketing Settlement Date the Remarketable Senior Notes shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Reset Rate.

(g)               In the event of a Failed Final Remarketing, or if no Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes are included in Corporate Units (or the Holder of each such Corporate Unit has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent in writing of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and none of the Holders of the Separate Notes elect to have their Remarketable Senior Notes remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable interest rate on the Remarketable Senior Notes will not be reset and will continue to be the Securities Rate.

(h)               If there is a Failed Remarketing, the Company shall cause a notice of the unsuccessful Remarketing to be published not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Applicable Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by furnishing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

Section 904.        Modification of Terms in Connection with a Successful Remarketing. Following any Successful Remarketing of the Remarketable Senior Notes:

(a)               the interest rate on the Remarketable Senior Notes may be reset pursuant to Section 903; and

(b)               interest on the Remarketable Senior Notes will be payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, as set forth in Section 205.

Any such modifications shall take effect only if there is a Successful Remarketing. Any such modifications shall become effective on the Remarketing Settlement Date, without the consent of Holders, and shall apply to all Remarketable Senior Notes, whether or not included in such Successful Remarketing.

Section 905.        Put Right.

(a)               If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, Holders of Remarketable Senior Notes will, subject to this Section 905, have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to purchase such Remarketable Senior Notes for cash on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Remarketable Senior Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable Remarketable Senior Notes (the “Put Price”).

(b)               The Put Right of a Holder of a Separate Note shall only be exercisable upon delivery of a notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository), together with such Holder’s Separate Notes, to the Trustee by such Holder at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Such Put Right for a Holder of a Separate Note may be exercised with respect to all or a portion of such Holder’s Separate Notes (so long as such portion is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount). Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the aggregate Put Price of all Separate Notes with respect to which a Holder has exercised a Put Right. In exchange for any Separate Notes surrendered pursuant to the Put Right, the Trustee shall then distribute such amount to the Holders of such Separate Notes; provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any such distribution except to the extent it has received such funds from the Company, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to advance its own funds in respect of any Put Price.

(c)               If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Put Right of Holders with respect to Remarketable Senior Notes relating to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed to be automatically exercised in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (unless any such Holder has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent and the Trustee in writing of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price). The Purchase Contract Agent shall have no obligation to take any action in respect of any such deemed exercise other than as expressly set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on any notice delivered by the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company as to the aggregate principal amount of Remarketable Senior Notes subject to such deemed exercise.

(d)               Remarketable Senior Notes purchased pursuant to the Put Right shall be cancelled by the Trustee.

H2O AMERICA, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder named above, the principal sum [of Dollars]^*** [specified in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Notes annexed hereto]* on November 1, 2031 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest thereon at the rate of 5.300% per annum, such interest to accrue from November 3, 2026 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, subject to any reset of such interest rate in connection with a Successful Remarketing, as described below. Subject to any changes in the interest payment dates as set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof) in connection with a Successful Remarketing, interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing on February 1, 2027 (the “Interest Payment Dates”), until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. On and after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or, if earlier, the Optional Remarketing Settlement Date, interest on this Note will be payable at the relevant Reset Rate or, if the interest rate has not been reset, at the Securities Rate of 5.300% per year. The Reset Rate, if any, shall be established pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Remarketing Agreement. If Interest Payments are not paid, they will accrue and compound on each Interest Payment Date until paid at the annual rate of 5.300% per annum, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. The interest so payable on an Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered, at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at Stated Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid (i) to the Person in whose name this Note (or any Remarketable Senior Note issued upon registration of transfer or exchange thereof) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest established in accordance with Section 305 of the Original Indenture or (ii) at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Remarketable Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. The “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date for the Notes, will be the 15th day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Interest Payment Date falls (whether or not a Business Day); provided that if any of the Remarketable Senior Notes or the related Corporate Units are held by a securities depository in book-entry form, the Regular Record Date for such Remarketable Senior Notes will be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Senior Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

(Reverse Side of Note)

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Notes of the Company (the “Notes”), issued and issuable in one or more series under a Senior Note Indenture, dated as of November 3, 2026 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 3, 2026, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, as it may be hereafter supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders (the word “Holder” or “Holders” meaning the registered holder or registered holders) of the Notes. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof (the “Remarketable Senior Notes”) which is limited in aggregate principal amount to $373,750,000. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.

The Company may not redeem the Remarketable Senior Notes prior to maturity.

The Remarketable Senior Notes shall be remarketed as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. In connection with a Successful Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent, in consultation with the Company, may remarket the Remarketable Senior Notes and reset the interest rate of the Remarketable Senior Notes. Following any Successful Remarketing of the Remarketable Senior Notes, the interest will be payable semi-annually, on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, if there has not been a Successful Remarketing prior to the end of the Final Remarketing Period, Holders of the Remarketable Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase such Remarketable Senior Notes for cash on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price per Remarketable Senior Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable Remarketable Senior Note.

The Remarketable Senior Notes are not subject to the operation of any sinking fund and, except as set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture, are not repayable at the option of a Holder thereof prior to the Stated Maturity.

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

The provisions of Sections 403 and 404 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Remarketable Senior Notes, and the provisions of Section 401 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Remarketable Senior Notes to the extent the provisions of Section 401 would allow for satisfaction and discharge of the Remarketable Senior Notes prior to the Stated Maturity, except in the case of an exercise by a Holder of the Put Right pursuant to Section 905 of the First Supplemental Indenture on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

The Company will not pay any additional amounts to any Holder in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge.

REMARKETABLE SENIOR NOTE DUE 2031

Dated: [ ] [ ], 20[ ]

H2O AMERICA, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder named above, the principal sum [of Dollars]^*** [specified in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Notes annexed hereto]* on November 1, 2031 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest thereon at the rate of [ ]% per annum, such interest to accrue from [          ] [ ], 2029 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 1 and November 1, commencing on [      ] [ ], 20[ ] (the “Interest Payment Dates”), until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment, provided that any principal, and any such installment of interest, that is overdue shall bear interest at such rate (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.

The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. The interest so payable on an Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered, at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at Stated Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid (i) to the Person in whose name this Note (or any Remarketable Senior Note issued upon registration of transfer or exchange thereof) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest established in accordance with Section 305 of the Original Indenture or (ii) at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Remarketable Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. The “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date for the Notes, will be the 15th day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Interest Payment Date falls (whether or not a Business Day); provided that if any of the Remarketable Senior Notes are held by a securities depository in book-entry form, the Regular Record Date for such Remarketable Senior Notes will be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.
