(a) 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 applicable 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 applicable 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.

(b) If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM 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 applicable Par Call Date, as applicable.

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.

“Trustee” has the meaning provided in the preamble.

ARTICLE TWO

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Designation and Principal Amount.

The Notes are hereby authorized and are respectively designated the 5.200% Senior Notes due 2032 and the 5.400% Senior Notes due 2035, each unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The 2032 Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 and the 2035 Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, which amounts shall be set forth in the written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 301 of the Base Indenture.

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes of a series, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, Additional Notes of such series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes of such series (except for the issue date, issue price, and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes); provided that if the Additional Notes of a series are not fungible with the Notes of such series issued on the date hereof for United States federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued under a separate CUSIP number. Any Additional Notes of a series having similar terms, together with the Notes of such series issued on the date hereof, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No Additional Notes of a series may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes of such series.

Section 2.02. Maturity.

Unless an earlier redemption has occurred, the principal amount of the 2032 Notes shall mature and be due and payable, together with any accrued interest thereon, on March 15, 2032.

Unless an earlier redemption has occurred, the principal amount of the 2035 Notes shall mature and be due and payable, together with any accrued interest thereon, on March 15, 2035.

The Notes shall be issued as global notes, in fully registered book-entry form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Notes and the Trustee’s Certificates of Authentication to be endorsed thereon are to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which form is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Supplemental Indenture.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and the Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, on the global notes representing the Notes shall be made to The Depository Trust Company (together with any successor thereto, the “Depositary”).

The global notes representing the Notes shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. No global note may be transferred except as a whole by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

Section 2.04. Interest.

Interest on the Notes shall accrue from February 25, 2025. Interest on the 2032 Notes shall accrue at the rate of 5.200% per annum and interest on the 2035 Notes shall accrue at the rate of 5.400% per annum.

Section 2.05. Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Transfer Agent.

(a) For so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Company will maintain in the continental United States an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase (the “Paying Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee in the continental United States; provided that the Trustee shall not be deemed an agent of the Company for service of legal process.

(b) The Company shall also maintain one or more security registrars (a “Security Registrar”) and a transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). Any right, protection or indemnity provided to the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar under the Indenture shall also be afforded to the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and the Transfer Agent under this Supplemental Indenture. The Security Registrar and the Transfer Agent will maintain a register reflecting ownership of definitive registered Notes outstanding from time to time and will facilitate the transfer of definitive registered Notes on behalf of the Company.

(c) The Company may change the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or the Transfer Agent without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will be the initial Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Notes.

The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Security Registrar or Transfer Agent in respect of the Notes.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption.

At any time prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the Company shall have the option to redeem each series of Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) calculated by the Company and equal to the greater of:

(a) (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 12.5 basis points, in the case of the 2032 Notes, and 15 basis points, in the case of the 2035 Notes, less (ii) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and

(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company shall have the option to redeem each series of Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

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

Section 3.02. Selection and Notice of Redemption.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

At the Company’s option, a notice of redemption may be conditioned on the satisfaction of one or more conditions. If so conditioned, such a notice of redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company, in its discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied (or waived by the Company, in its discretion) by the redemption date, or the redemption date so delayed.

In the case of a partial redemption of a series of Notes, selection of the Notes of such series 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 will state the portion of the principal amount and CUSIP or ISIN number, as applicable, of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will 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 the Depositary (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

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

ARTICLE FOUR

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $ (except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned), all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of July 1, 2015 between the Company, as issuer, The ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Company (formerly known as ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ Holding Corporation), as guarantor (“▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as successor to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association), as Trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 25, 2025 among the Company, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as the 5.200% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”).

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.

Guarantee

Pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture, the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder pursuant to Section 1406 of the Base Indenture.

Change of Control Triggering Event

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently delivered an unconditional (or conditional solely with respect to the consummation of the applicable Change of Control Triggering Event) redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Company will deliver a notice to each Holder of the Notes, electronically or by first class mail at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws, rules and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws, rules or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

•

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

•

deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered; and

•

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an officer’s certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption (as described above) of all outstanding Notes has, prior to or concurrently with such Change of Control Triggering Event, been given pursuant to the Indenture as described in Section 3.01 of the

Supplemental Indenture, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable redemption date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control (as defined below) at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 902 of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Note relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of Holders, the following definitions are applicable:

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

“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, amalgamation, consolidation or other business combination transaction), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (as defined below) or group of related Persons for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (a “Group”) other than to the Company or one of its wholly owned Subsidiaries or one or more Permitted Holders (as defined below); (2) the approval by the holders of the common stock of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (whether or not otherwise in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture); (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Person or Group (other than to one or more Permitted Holders) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 (without giving effect to the proviso in clause (d)(1)(i) thereof) and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the original issuance date of the Notes), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then-outstanding number of shares of the voting stock of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; or (4) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

“Fitch” means Fitch, Inc., or any successor to the rating agency business thereof.

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ (as defined below), BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P (as defined below) and BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch.

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

“Permitted Holders” means, collectively, (1) Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., and each of its Affiliates but not including, however, any portfolio companies of any of the foregoing, (2) any one or more Persons, together with such Persons’ Affiliates, whose beneficial ownership constitutes or results in a Change of Control in respect of which a Change of Control Offer is made in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture, (3) the members of management of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or any parent entity of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) or its Subsidiaries who are holders of capital stock of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or of any parent entity of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ on the original date of issuance of the Notes, (4) any Person who is acting solely as an underwriter in connection with a public or private offering of capital stock of any parent entity of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, acting in such capacity, and (5) any Group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) of which any of the foregoing are members; provided that, in the case of such Group and without giving effect to the existence of such Group or any other Group, the Persons referred to in clauses (1) through (3) above collectively have beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting stock of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its direct or indirect parent entities of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ held by such Group.
