ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01. Definitions. For all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

“Base Indenture” has the meaning assigned in the recitals.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Obligor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) other than the Obligor or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the Obligor’s liquidation or dissolution; or (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of “persons”, other than the Obligor or its Subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Obligor’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Obligor’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; provided, however, that (x) a person shall not be deemed beneficial owner of, or to own beneficially, (A) any securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such person or any of such person’s affiliates until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase or exchange thereunder, or (B) any securities if such beneficial ownership (i) arises solely as a result of a revocable proxy delivered in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, and (ii) is not also then reportable on Schedule 13D (or any successor schedule) under the Exchange Act and (y) a transaction will not be deemed to involve a change of control under this clause (3) if (A) the Obligor becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (B)(i) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Obligor’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction and each holder holds substantially the same percentage of Voting Stock of such holding company as such holder held of the Obligor’s shares immediately prior to that transaction or (ii) the Obligor’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately after giving effect to such transaction.

1

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event.

“First Supplemental Indenture” means this First Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 12, 2021 to the Base Indenture between the Obligor and the Trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Inc. and its successors.

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

“Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption of the Senior Notes pursuant to Section 2.06, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the Redemption Date of each dollar of principal being redeemed and the amount of interest, calculated by the Obligor, excluding interest accrued to the Redemption Date, that would have been payable in respect of each dollar if such redemption had been made on the Par Call Date (assuming the Senior Notes matured on the Par Call Date), determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate, determined on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, from the respective dates on which the principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption had been made on the Par Call Date, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed. The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate or verify the calculation of the Make-Whole Amount.

“Moody’s” means ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. and its successors.

“Obligor Board” means the board of directors of the Obligor.

“Par Call Date” means December 12, 2030

“Principal Property” means the Obligor’s principal offices in Santa Clara, California, each manufacturing facility, each research and development facility and each service and support facility (in each case including associated office facilities) that is real property located within the territorial limits of the United States of America owned by the Obligor or any wholly owned subsidiaries of the Obligor, except such as the Obligor’s board of directors by resolution determines in good faith (taking into account, among other things, the importance of such property to the business, financial condition and earnings of the Obligor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole) not to be of material importance to the business of the Obligor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

“Rating Agency” means each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P, so long as such entity makes a rating of the Senior Notes publicly available; provided, however, if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Senior Notes or fails to make a rating of the Senior Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Obligor, the Obligor shall be allowed to designate a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act as a replacement agency for the agency that ceased to make such a rating publicly available. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Obligor to pay rating agency fees to make a rating of the Senior Notes shall not be a “reason outside of the control of the Obligor” for the purposes of the preceding sentence.

2

“Ratings Event” means a decrease in the ratings of the Senior Notes by one or more of the Rating Agencies such that the Senior Notes are rated below Investment Grade by all of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Senior Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies on the 60th day of such period, such extension to last with respect to each such Rating Agency until the date on which such Rating Agency considering such possible downgrade either (x) rates the Senior Notes below Investment Grade or (y) publicly announces that it is no longer considering the Senior Notes for possible downgrade; provided that no such extension will occur if on such 60th day the Senior Notes are rated Investment Grade by at least one of such Rating Agencies in question and are not subject to review for possible downgrade by such Rating Agency).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Ratings Event).

“Reinvestment Rate” means the yield on treasury securities at a constant maturity corresponding to the remaining life to maturity (rounded up to the nearest month) of the principal of the Senior Notes being redeemed as of the Redemption Date (which maturity shall be deemed to be the Par Call Date) (the “Treasury Yield”), plus 0.150% for the Senior Notes being redeemed. For purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the Treasury Yield will be equal to the arithmetic mean of the yields published in the Statistical Release under the heading “Week Ending” for “U.S. Government Securities—Treasury Constant Maturities” with a maturity equal to the deemed remaining life to maturity of the Senior Notes being redeemed. However, if no published maturity exactly corresponds to such remaining life, then the Treasury Yield will be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis from the arithmetic means of the yields for the next shortest and next longest published maturities. For purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount will be used. If the format or content of the Statistical Release changes in a manner that precludes determination of the Treasury Yield in the above manner, then the Treasury Yield will be determined in the manner that most closely approximates the above manner, as the Obligor reasonably determines.

“Senior Notes” has the meaning assigned in the Recitals.

“Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and that reports yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if that statistical release is not published at the time of any required determination under this First Supplemental Indenture, then another reasonably comparable publication which the Obligor will designate.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors.

“Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of such Person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such Person.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(g) Notice of any redemption of Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 2.06 may, at the Obligor’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction that is pending (such as an equity or equity-linked offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or an acquisition or other strategic transaction involving a change of control in the Obligor or another entity). If any redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the applicable notice of redemption 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 on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Redemption Date. The Obligor shall notify Holders and the Trustee of any such rescission as soon as practicable after it determines that such conditions precedent will not be able to be satisfied or the Obligor shall not be able or willing to 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 Senior Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price as set forth in this Section 2.06.

(h) On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Obligor shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Obligor is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 9.03 of the Base Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Senior Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

(i) On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Senior Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Obligor defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. Upon surrender of such Senior Notes for redemption in accordance with the notice, such Senior Notes shall be paid by the Obligor at the Redemption Price. Any installment of interest due and payable on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Senior Notes registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and the provisions of Section 2.06 of the Base Indenture. If any Senior Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor by the Senior Note.

(j) Any Senior Note that is a Definitive Note that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency maintained by the Obligor pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Base Indenture (with, if the Obligor or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Obligor and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Obligor shall execute and upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Senior Note without service charge and at the expense of the Obligor, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes in certificated form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of such Senior Note so surrendered.

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Obligor, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control or event that may constitute the Change of Control, the Obligor shall send 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 Senior Notes on the repurchase date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent. The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

(c) The Obligor shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior 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 this Section 2.07 or numbered paragraph 8 of the Senior Notes, the Obligor shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.07 or numbered paragraph 8 of the Senior Notes by virtue of compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(f) The Obligor shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior 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 Obligor and such third party purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(g) Should the Obligor choose to exercise its rights under Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture, it shall no longer be obligated to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes following a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(b) The last sentence of the third to last paragraph of Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture is hereby supplemented to add to the end thereof: “and the Obligor shall no longer be obligated to make an offer to repurchase Senior Notes under Section 2.07 of the First Supplemental Indenture upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture, dated March 12, 2021, between the Obligor and the Trustee).”

(b) Notwithstanding the Events of Default set forth in Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture, the Event of Default set forth as clause (7) of such Section shall not be applicable to the Senior Notes and shall not be deemed an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes.

SECTION 2.15. Limitation on Liens. In addition to the exceptions to the limitations on liens restrictions set forth in Section 9.06 of the Base Indenture, the Senior Notes shall include the following additional exception designated as clause (11) of such Section:

SECTION 2.16. Counterpart Originals. This First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Senior Notes for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Senior Notes on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Senior Notes.
