There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated as the 5.709% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2035 having an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000.

Section 2.02 Maturity The date upon which the Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is February 2, 2035 (the “Maturity Date”).

Principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable in global form registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Note (as hereinafter defined). The principal of any certificated Notes will be payable at the office or

-7-

agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York, which shall initially be the principal office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment; provided that the paying agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender of the relevant Note in the case of a payment of interest on the Maturity Date).

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee to act as Security Registrar, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent for the Notes.

The Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in denominations of $2,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The specified currency of the Notes shall be U.S. Dollars.

Section 2.04 Global Note. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

Section 2.05 Interest.

(a) (i) Fixed Rate Period. During the period from (and including) February 2, 2024, to (but excluding) February 2, 2034, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.709% per annum (the “Initial Interest Rate”). Such interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 2 and August 2 of each year, beginning on August 2, 2024 and ending on February 2, 2034 (each, a “Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, any payment of principal and interest on the Notes will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date.

(b) (i) Floating Rate Period. During the period from (and including) February 2, 2034, to (but excluding) the Maturity Date (the “Floating Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark plus 187 basis points per annum (the “Spread”), as determined in arrears by the Calculation Agent in the manner described herein, subject to the terms of the Interest Calculation Agreement. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on May 2, 2034, August 2, 2034, November 2, 2034 and on the Maturity Date (each a “Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date”). Such interest will be computed for the period beginning on (and including) a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Period”); provided that the first Floating Rate Interest Period for the Notes will begin on (and include) February 2, 2034 and will end on (but exclude) the first Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date.

-8-

(ii) The Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate on the Notes quarterly on the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the applicable Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Determination Date”). In no event will the interest payable on the Notes be less than zero. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) and a 360-day year. The amount of accrued interest payable on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be computed by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in the applicable Floating Rate Interest Period relating to such Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) divided by 360.

(iii) If any scheduled Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day, such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day; provided that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If any such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is postponed or brought forward as described above, the payment of interest due on such postponed or brought forward Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued to (but excluding) such postponed or brought forward Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date.

(c) Interest on the Notes shall be payable to the Persons in whose names the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day preceding each Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date, as applicable, whether or not a Business Day.

(d) In the event that the Maturity Date or date of redemption, or repayment of any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment of any Note. If a date of redemption or repayment of any Note falls within the Floating Rate Period but does not occur on a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, (i) the related Interest Determination Date shall be deemed to be the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such date of redemption or repayment, (ii) the related Observation Period shall be deemed to end on (and exclude) the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day falling prior to such date of redemption or repayment, (iii) the Floating Rate Interest Period will be deemed to be shortened accordingly and (iv) corresponding adjustments will be deemed to be made to the Compounded SOFR Index Rate formula (or applicable Benchmark). Interest due on the Maturity Date of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable.

-9-

(e) SOFR Index Unavailability. If SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the relevant Interest Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR Index Rate” shall mean, for the relevant interest period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or such successor website). For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180-calendar days” shall be removed. If the daily SOFR (“SOFRi”) does not so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

(f) Benchmark Transition Provisions. (i) In the event that the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the applicable Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the applicable Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes during the Floating Rate Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates; provided that, if the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) is unable to or does not determine a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the provisions below prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the relevant Interest Determination Date, the interest rate for the related Floating Rate Interest Period shall be equal to the interest rate in effect for the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period or, in the case of the Interest Determination Date prior to the first Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, the Initial Interest Rate. In accordance with and subject to this Section 2.05(f), after a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each interest period on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period will be determined by reference to a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark Replacement plus the Spread.

(ii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) shall have the right to make changes to (1) any Interest Determination Date, Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, Reference Time, Business Day convention or Floating Rate Interest Period, (2) the manner, timing and frequency of determining the rate and amounts of interest that are payable on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period and the conventions relating to such determination and calculations with respect to interest, (3) rounding conventions, (4) tenors and (5) any other terms or provisions of the Notes during the Floating Rate Period, in each case that the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines, from time to time, to be appropriate to reflect the determination and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) decides that implementation of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines is appropriate (acting in good faith)) (the “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”). Any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall apply to the Notes for all future Floating Rate Interest Periods.

-10-

(iii) The Company shall promptly give notice of the determination of the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Holders of the Notes; provided that failure to provide such notice shall have no impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such determination.

(iv) All determinations, decisions, elections and any calculations made by the Company or its designee for the purposes of determining the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes, the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, absent manifest error. If made by the Company’s designee, such determinations, decisions, elections and calculations shall be made after consulting with the Company, and such designees shall not make any such determination, decision, election or calculation to which the Company objects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any determinations, decisions, calculations or elections made in accordance with this provision shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Notes or any other party.

(v) Any determination, decision or election relating to the Benchmark shall be made by the Company in accordance with this Section 2.05(f). None of the Calculation Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any liability for not making any such determination, decision or election. The Company may designate an entity (which may be its affiliate) to make any determination, decision or election that the Company has the right to make in connection with the determination of the Benchmark.

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2.05(f), no Benchmark Replacement shall be adopted, nor shall the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment be applied, nor shall any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes be made, if in the Company’s determination, the same could reasonably be expected to prejudice the qualification of the Notes as eligible liabilities or loss absorbing capacity instruments for the purposes of the Relevant Rules.

(vii) Each Holder of the Notes (including each Holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes) (i) acknowledges, accepts, consents and agrees to be bound by the Company’s or its designee’s determination of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Benchmark Replacement Date, the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, including as may occur without any prior notice from the Company and without the need for the Company to obtain any further consent from such Holder of the Notes, (ii) waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent or the Company’s designee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent or the Company’s designee in respect of, and agrees that none of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent or the Company’s designee shall be liable for, the determination of or the Company’s failure or delay (including any failure to perform their duties as a result of the Company’s or its designee’s

-11-

failure or delay) to determine any Benchmark Transition Event, any Benchmark Replacement Date, any Benchmark Replacement, any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and any losses suffered in connection therewith and (iii) agrees that none of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent or the Company’s designee will have any obligation to determine, confirm or verify any Benchmark Transition Event, any Benchmark Replacement Date, any Benchmark Replacement, any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (including any adjustments thereto), including in the event of any failure or delay by the Company to determine any Benchmark Transition Event, any Benchmark Replacement Date, any Benchmark Replacement, any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(viii) All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Notes shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts would be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

Section 2.06 No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES.

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption. The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the Company at any time except as described herein. The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in accordance with Exhibit A of the attached and in accordance with Article XI of the Base Indenture.

On or after July 31, 2024 (180 days after February 2, 2024) (or, if additional notes are issued, beginning 180 days after the issue date of such additional notes), and, prior to February 2, 2034 (one year prior to the Maturity Date (the “First Par Call Date”)), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

-12-

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

On the First Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, or on or after November 2, 2034 (three months prior to the Maturity Date), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, in each case at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the First Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the First Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the First Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the First Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the First Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the First Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the First Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall

-13-

select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

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

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 5 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another Depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be responsible for or have any responsibility to determine or make any calculations in connection with any redemption.

If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Company or its agent of any certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.

The Notes are not be subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund.

HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INCORPORATED

5.709% FIXED-TO-FLOATING RATE SENIOR

NOTES DUE 2035

CUSIP NO. 446150 BD5

ISIN US446150BD56

HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INCORPORATED, a Maryland corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [five hundred] [two hundred and fifty] million United States dollars on February 2, 2035 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on February 2, 2035, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day.

The Company further promises to pay interest as follows. During the period from (and including) February 2, 2024, to (but excluding) February 2, 2034, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.709% per annum. Such interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 2 and August 2 of each year, beginning on August 2, 2024 and ending on February 2, 2034 (each, a “Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, any payment of principal and interest on the Notes will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date.

During the period from (and including) February 2, 2034, to (but excluding) the Maturity Date (the “Floating Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark plus 187 basis points per annum (the “Spread”), as determined in arrears by the Calculation Agent in the manner described herein and in the Indenture. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on May 2, 2034, August 2, 2034, November 2, 2034 and on the Maturity Date (each a “Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date”). Such interest will be computed for the period beginning on (and including) a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Period”); provided that the first Floating Rate Interest Period for the Notes will begin on (and include) February 2, 2034 and will end on (but exclude) the first Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date.

The Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate on the Notes quarterly on the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the applicable Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Determination Date”). In no event will the interest payable on the Notes be less than zero. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) and a 360-day year. The amount of accrued interest payable on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be computed by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in the applicable Floating Rate Interest Period relating to such Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) divided by 360.

A-3

If any scheduled Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day, such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day; provided that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If any such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is postponed or brought forward as described above, the payment of interest due on such postponed or brought forward Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued to (but excluding) such postponed or brought forward Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date.

Interest on the Notes shall be payable to the Persons in whose names the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day preceding each Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date, as applicable, whether or not a Business Day.

In the event that the Maturity Date or date of redemption, or repayment of any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment of any Note. If a date of redemption or repayment of any Note falls within the Floating Rate Period but does not occur on a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, (i) the related Interest Determination Date shall be deemed to be the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such date of redemption or repayment, (ii) the related Observation Period shall be deemed to end on (and exclude) the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day falling prior to such date of redemption or repayment, (iii) the Floating Rate Interest Period will be deemed to be shortened accordingly and (iv) corresponding adjustments will be deemed to be made to the Compounded SOFR Index Rate formula (or applicable Benchmark). Interest due on the Maturity Date of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable.

If SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the relevant Interest Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR Index Rate” shall mean, for the relevant interest period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or such successor website). For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days” shall be removed. If the daily SOFR (“SOFRi”) does not so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

A-4

In the event that the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the applicable Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the applicable Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes during the Floating Rate Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates; provided that, if the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) is unable to or does not determine a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the provisions below prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the relevant Interest Determination Date, the interest rate for the related Floating Rate Interest Period shall be equal to the interest rate in effect for the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period or, in the case of the Interest Determination Date prior to the first Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, the Initial Interest Rate. In accordance with and subject to this Section 2.05(f), after a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each interest period on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period will be determined by reference to a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark Replacement plus the Spread.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) shall have the right to make changes to (1) any Interest Determination Date, Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, Reference Time, Business Day convention or Floating Rate Interest Period, (2) the manner, timing and frequency of determining the rate and amounts of interest that are payable on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period and the conventions relating to such determination and calculations with respect to interest, (3) rounding conventions, (4) tenors and (5) any other terms or provisions of the Notes during the Floating Rate Period, in each case that the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines, from time to time, to be appropriate to reflect the determination and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) decides that implementation of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines is appropriate (acting in good faith)) (the “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”). Any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall apply to the Notes for all future Floating Rate Interest Periods.

The Company shall promptly give notice of the determination of the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Holders of the Notes; provided that failure to provide such notice shall have no impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such determination.

All determinations, decisions, elections and any calculations made by the Company or its designee for the purposes of determining the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes, the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, absent manifest error. If made by the Company’s designee, such determinations, decisions, elections and calculations shall be made after consulting with the Company, and such designees shall not make any such determination, decision, election or calculation to which the Company objects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any determinations, decisions, calculations or elections made in accordance with this provision shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Notes or any other party.

A-5

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Benchmark Replacement shall be adopted, nor shall the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment be applied, nor shall any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes be made, if in the Company’s determination, the same could reasonably be expected to prejudice the qualification of the Notes as eligible liabilities or loss absorbing capacity instruments for the purposes of the Relevant Rules.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any interest 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 to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor 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, with notice thereof to be given to Holders of Notes not less than 5 days prior to the Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any automated quotation system or securities exchange on which the Notes may be quoted or listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such system or exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payment of principal and interest shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, by Dollar check drawn on, or transfer to, a Dollar account. Payments of interest on this Note may be made by Dollar check, drawn on a Dollar account, mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or, upon written application by the Holder to the Security Registrar setting forth wire instructions not later than the relevant Record Date, by transfer to a Dollar account.

Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof or an Authenticating Agent by the manual or electronic signature of one of their respective authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Base Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture or the Seventh Supplemental Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. The Company may execute this Note without a corporate seal.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

A-8

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the First Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the First Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the First Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the First Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the First Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the First Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the First Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

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

A-9

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 5 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Each notice of redemption will state:

If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Company or its agent of any certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Company’s paying agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.

The Notes are not be subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund.

The Notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company may, without consent of the holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional securities in the future on the same terms and conditions as the Notes, except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the date of issuance of the additional securities, and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes. The Notes and any additional Notes issued by the Company would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture.

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note at any Place of Payment, as the case may be, is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date.

A-10

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 20 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on this Note or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Notes will be subject to defeasance and covenant defeasance pursuant to Sections 13.2 and 13.3 of the Base Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

A-11

Prior to due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered, as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

All capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
