Item 8.01 Other Events

On September 24, 2026, Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (the

“Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company and

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as representatives of the underwriters named

therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters $600,000,000 aggregate principal

amount of its 7.800% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.875% Senior

Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Securities”). The Securities were offered

and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276713), filed on January 26, 2024. The

Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay at maturity the $700 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of

the Company’s 2.05% senior notes due October 2026. The Company intends to use any remaining net proceeds from the offering, together

with cash on hand, to repay the outstanding balance under the Company’s revolving credit agreement, and for related fees and expenses.

On September 28, 2026, the Company and The Bank

of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, entered into a Third Supplemental Indenture relating to the 2029 Notes, dated as of

September 28, 2026 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”) and a Fourth Supplemental Indenture relating to the 2032 Notes, dated

as of September 28, 2026 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental

Indentures”), to the Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2021 (the “Base Indenture,” and together with the Supplemental

Indentures, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of the Securities.

Each

series of the Securities is the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and ranks equally in right of payment among themselves and

with all of the Company’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Neither series of the Securities will be guaranteed

by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The 2029 Notes bear interest at 7.800% per annum and will mature on September 28, 2029 and

the 2032 Notes bear interest at 7.875% per annum and will mature on January 15, 2032. Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable on March 28

and September 28 of each year, beginning on March 28, 2027. Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year,

beginning on January 15, 2027. The interest rate payable on the Securities will be subject to adjustment from time to time if any of Moody’s,

S&P or Fitch (in each case, as defined in the Indenture) (or, in each case, a substitute rating agency therefor), downgrades (or subsequently

upgrades) the debt rating applicable to the Securities. At any time and from time to time prior to August 28, 2029 with respect to the

2029 Notes and December 15, 2031 with respect to the 2032 Notes (each such date, with respect to the 2029 Notes or the 2032 Notes, as

applicable, the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities of each series, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole”

redemption price as described in the Indenture. At any time and from time to time on or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company

may redeem some or all of the Securities of each series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such series of

the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date as described in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains certain restrictions, including

a limitation that restricts the Company’s ability and the ability of its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries to incur liens and enter

into sale and leaseback transactions. The Indenture also restricts the ability of the Company to consolidate, merge or transfer all or

substantially all of their assets, and requires the Company to offer to repurchase the Securities upon certain change of control events.

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting

Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed

herewith as Exhibit 1.1, the Base Indenture, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on

October 15, 2021, the Third Supplemental Indenture (including the form of the 2029 Notes attached thereto), which is filed herewith as

Exhibit 4.2, and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (including the form of the 2032 Notes attached thereto), which is filed herewith as

Exhibit 4.3, each incorporated by reference herein. The form of the 2029 Notes and the form of the 2032 Notes are filed as Exhibit 4.4

and Exhibit 4.5, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with

the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:

1. Registration Statement.

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities

and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and

regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3

(File No. 333-276713), including a prospectus, relating to the Securities. Such registration statement, as amended at the time it

became effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part

of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to

herein as the “Registration Statement”. As used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus”

means each prospectus included in such registration statement (and any amendments thereto) before effectiveness, any prospectus filed

with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement

at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430 Information, and the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus

in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection

with confirmation of sales of the Securities. Any reference in this agreement (this “Agreement”) to the Registration

Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference

therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date

of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be and any reference to “amend”, “amendment”

or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to

refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and

regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated

by reference therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement

and the Prospectus.

At or prior to 3:15 P.M., New York City time, on

September 24, 2026, the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company

had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): a Preliminary Prospectus

dated September 24, 2026, and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities

Act) listed on Annex A hereto.

2. Purchase and Sale of the Securities.

(a)            The

Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the

basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally

and not jointly, to purchase from the Company (i) the respective principal amount of 2029 Notes set forth opposite such Underwriter’s

2026 to the Closing Date and (ii) the respective principal amount of 2032 Notes set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name

in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 98.171% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes plus accrued interest, if any, from September 28,

2026 to the Closing Date. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities except upon payment for all the Securities

to be purchased as provided herein.

2

(b)            The

Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Securities as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement

as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale

Information. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an

Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.

(c)            Payment

for and delivery of the Securities will be made at the offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, Two Manhattan West, 375 Ninth

The time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

(d)            Payment

for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Company to the

Representatives against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), for the account of

the Underwriters, of one or more global notes representing each of the 2029 Notes and the 2032 Notes (collectively, the “Global

Notes”), with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The Global

Notes will be made available for inspection by the Representatives not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior

to the Closing Date.

(e)            The

Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty

to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the

offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the

Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or

regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible

for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no

responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Representatives or any Underwriter of the Company,

the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representatives

or such Underwriter, as the case may be, and shall not be on behalf of the Company or any other person.

makes no representation or warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance

upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the

relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the

consists only of the Underwriter Provided Information as defined in Section 7(b).

(e)            Incorporated

conducted requires such qualification, and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct

the businesses in which they currently are engaged, except where the failure to be so qualified, in good standing or have such power or

position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the performance by the Company of its obligations

under this Agreement and the Securities (a “Material Adverse Effect”). The subsidiaries listed in Schedule 2

to this Agreement are the only significant subsidiaries of the Company.

Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, whether before or after the

time that the Registration Statement becomes effective the Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters

a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement for review and will not use, authorize, approve, refer

to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably

object, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Company and its counsel, such proposed amendment or supplement is necessary to comply

with law or to make the statements contained in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information, Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing

Prospectus, not misleading.

16

(d)            Notice

to the Representatives. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will advise the Representatives promptly, and confirm such

advice in writing via electronic mail, (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective;

(ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus or any Issuer

Free Writing Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or

any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement

or any other request by the Commission for any additional information related to the Registration Statement; (iv) of the issuance

by the Commission or any other governmental or regulatory authority of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement

or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information or any Issuer Free Writing

Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of

the occurrence of any event or development within the Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus, any of the Time

of Sale Information or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material

fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when

the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; and

(vi) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offer

and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its reasonable

best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending

the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Time of Sale Information, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or

suspending any such qualification of the Securities and, if any such order is issued, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as

soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(e)            Time

of Sale Information. If at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result

of which any of the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or

omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they

were made, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company

will promptly notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission

(to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or

supplements to the Time of Sale Information (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as

may be necessary so that the statements in any of the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented (including such documents

to be incorporated by reference therein) will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading or so that

any of the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

17

(f)             Ongoing

Compliance. If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which

the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact

necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser,

not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will promptly notify

the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters

and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus (or any document to be filed

with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended

or supplemented (including such documents to be incorporated by reference therein) will not, in the light of the circumstances existing

when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law.

(g)            Blue

Sky Compliance. The Company will qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions

as the Representatives shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution of

the Securities; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or

as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general

consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not

otherwise so subject.

(h)            Earning

Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Representatives as soon as practicable an earning

statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated

thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “effective

date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement; provided that the Company will be deemed to have complied

with such requirement by filing with the Commission a report that satisfies the requirements for an “earning statement” under

Rule 158 of the Securities Act.

(i)             Clear

Market. During the period from the date hereof through the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of

the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and

having a tenor of more than one year.

18

(j)             Use

of Proceeds. The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in each of the Registration Statement,

the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”

(k)            DTC.

The Company will assist the Underwriters in arranging for the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

(l)             No

Stabilization. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause

or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities.

(m)           Record

Retention. The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing

Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

5.              Certain

Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees that it has not and will not use, authorize use of,

refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the

Securities Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Company and not incorporated by

reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Company) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that,

solely as a result of use by such Underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission

pursuant to Rule 433, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex A or prepared pursuant to Section 3(c) or

Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter

and approved by the Company in advance in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use the Pricing Term Sheet referred

to in Annex B hereto without the consent of the Company.

6.              Conditions

of Underwriters’ Obligations. The obligation of each Underwriter to purchase Securities on the Closing Date as provided herein

timely filed with the Commission under the Securities Act (in the case of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by

Rule 433 under the Securities Act) and in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof; and all requests by the Commission for additional

under the Exchange Act and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has

changed its outlook with respect to, its rating of the Securities or of any other debt securities or preferred stock issued or guaranteed

by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading).

(d)            No

Material Adverse Change. No event or condition of a type described in Section 3(g) hereof shall have occurred or shall exist,

which event or condition is not described in each of the Time of Sale Information (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and

the Prospectus (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which in the judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable

or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement,

the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(e)            Officer’s

Certificate. The Representatives shall have received on and as of the Closing Date a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the

Company who has specific knowledge of the Company’s financial matters and is satisfactory to the Representatives (i) confirming

that such officer has carefully reviewed the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and, to the knowledge

of such officer, the representations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 3(d) hereof are true and correct, (ii) confirming that

the other representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct and that the Company has complied with

all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date and (iii) to

the effect set forth in paragraphs (a), (c) and (d) above.

(f)             Comfort

substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’

“comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or

incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus; provided that

the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three business days prior to the Closing

Date.

(g)            Opinion

and 10b-5 Statement of Counsel for the Company. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, counsel for the Company, shall have furnished

to the Representatives, at the request of the Company, their written opinion and 10b-5 statement, dated the Closing Date and addressed

21

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)            Indemnification

of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its employees, affiliates, directors and

officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20

of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and

documented legal fees and other reasonable and documented expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim

asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement

or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to

state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any

untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto),

any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material

fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission

or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished

to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, which, for the avoidance of doubt,

such information consists only of the Underwriter Provided Information as defined in Section 7(b).

(b)            Indemnification

of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and

officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20

of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims,

damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees and other reasonable and documented expenses

incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) that arise out

of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity

with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives

expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus

or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information (“Underwriter Provided Information”)

consists of the following language in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus: the third sentence in the eighth paragraph; the first

and second sentences in the ninth paragraph; and the first sentence in the tenth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting (Conflicts

of Interest)”.

22

(c)            Notice

and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be

brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above,

such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may

be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying

Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it

has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further,

that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise

than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and

it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified

Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified

Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding

and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding,

as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses

of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person

shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably

satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses

available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in

any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation

of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood

and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be

liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified

Persons, and that all such reasonable and documented fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate

firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing

by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors and officers and any control persons of the Company shall

be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without

its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees

to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying

Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in

respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified

Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably

satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does

not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

23

(d)            Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient

in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu

of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result

of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received

by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided

by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits

referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection

with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable

considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be

in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities

and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in

the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on

the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged

untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the

Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or

prevent such statement or omission.

(e)            Limitation

on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7

were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method

of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable

by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed

to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection

with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to

contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with

respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by

reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within

the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of

such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion

to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f)             Non-Exclusive

Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise

be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8.              Effectiveness

of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above.

24

9.              Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and

delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited

on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company

shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities

shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of

hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the reasonable

judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale

or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

10. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a)            If,

on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the

non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company

on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters

do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to

procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become

obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone

the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel

for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any other document

or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale

Information and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes,

for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to

this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b)            If,

after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting

Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased

does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require

each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus

such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder)

of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c)            If,

after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting

Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased

exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described

in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any

termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the

Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of

Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

25

(d)            Nothing

contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter

for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses.

(a)            Whether

or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause

to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the

costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection;

(ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary

Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and

supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents;

(iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in

connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of

such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including

the reasonable and documented related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies

for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of

any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with, any filing with, and clearance

of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (including any documented expenses of counsel to the Underwriters not

to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate), and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC and (ix) all expenses incurred

by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors. Except as provided in Section 7

and this Section 11, the Underwriters shall pay all of their own costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated

hereby, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of their counsel.

(b)            If

(i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities

for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this

Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses

of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment

therefor on or about September 28, 2026, which will be the second business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement

cycle being referred to as “T+2”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are

required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish

to trade the Notes on any day prior to the business day before delivery of the Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the

Notes initially will settle in T+2, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement,

and should consult their advisors.

base prospectus in that registration statement, this pricing term sheet and other documents the Issuer has filed with the SEC for more

(2)            the

adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; or

(3)            the

Stock, provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the 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

recent consolidated balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP contained in an annual report on Form 10-K or a quarterly report

on Form 10-Q or any amendment thereto pursuant to the Exchange Act filed by the Company prior to the time as of which “Consolidated

Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”)

for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the 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 Par Call Date on a

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 from the Redemption Date.

6

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

Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally

distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call

Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two

or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the 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.

Holders, create and issue Additional Notes having the same terms as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the Notes (except for the issue

date, the public offering price and, if applicable, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes

and the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes); provided that if such Additional Notes are

not fungible with the Notes offered hereby for U.S. federal securities laws or U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes

same terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise, as the Notes, and will vote together as one class on all matters

with respect to the Notes.

Section 2.02.         Maturity.

Unless an earlier redemption has occurred, the principal

amount of the Notes shall mature and be due and payable, together with any accrued interest thereon, on September 28, 2029. If the

in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding March 14 and September 14. Interest on the

Notes will accrue from and including September 28, 2026, to, but excluding, the first Interest Payment Date and then from and including

Payment Date or maturity date, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of

twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or other payment date for the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of principal,

premium, if any, or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such

payment was due, and no interest on such payment shall accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date

or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.05.         Interest

Rate Adjustment.

The interest rate payable on the Notes will be

subject to adjustment from time to time (1) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt

rating applicable to the Notes (a “Rating”) or (2) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the

Notes or fails to make a Rating of the Notes publicly available, and a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”

within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency for Moody’s,

S&P or Fitch (a “Substitute Rating Agency”) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) a Rating of the Notes, in each

case as set forth below.

If the Rating from Moody’s (or a Substitute

Rating Agency therefor) applicable to the Notes is decreased to a Rating set forth in the immediately following table (or the equivalent

Rating, in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency), the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the

interest rate payable on the Notes set forth in Section 2.04 plus the percentage per annum set forth in the following table

opposite that Rating (plus, if applicable, the percentage per annum set forth opposite the applicable Rating in the table under each of

“S&P Rating” and “Fitch Rating”):

Moody’s Rating

Percentage

Ba1

0.250 %

Ba2

0.500 %

Ba3

0.750 %

B1 or below

1.000 %

9

If the Rating from S&P (or a Substitute Rating

Agency therefor) applicable to the Notes is decreased to a Rating set forth in the immediately following table (or the equivalent Rating,

in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency), the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest

rate payable on the Notes set forth in Section 2.04 plus the percentage per annum set forth in the following table opposite

that Rating (plus, if applicable, the percentage per annum set forth opposite the applicable Rating in the table under each of “Moody’s

Rating” and “Fitch Rating”):

S&P Rating

Percentage

BB+

0.250 %

BB

0.500 %

BB-

0.750 %

B+ or below

1.000 %

If the Rating from Fitch (or a Substitute Rating

Agency therefor) applicable to the Notes is decreased to a Rating set forth in the immediately following table (or the equivalent Rating,

in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency), the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest

rate payable on the Notes set forth in Section 2.04 plus the percentage per annum set forth in the following table opposite

that Rating (plus, if applicable, the percentage per annum set forth opposite the applicable Rating in the table under each of “Moody’s

Rating” and “S&P Rating”):

Fitch Rating

0.500 %

1.000 %

For purposes of making adjustments to the interest

rate payable on the Notes, the following rules of interpretation will apply:

(a)           If

at any time the Rating on the Notes has been increased as a result of a decrease in Rating by any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or,

in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency) and if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor)

subsequently increases its Rating applicable to the Notes to any of the threshold Ratings set forth above, the interest rate payable on

the Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate payable on the Notes equals the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04

plus the percentage per annum set forth opposite the Ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase in Rating.

Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a Rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s, S&P

or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event

shall (1) the interest rate payable on the Notes be reduced to below the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04 or (2) the

total increase in the interest rate payable on the Notes exceed 2.000% per annum above the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04.

If Moody’s (or a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) subsequently increases its Rating applicable to the Notes to Baa3 (or its equivalent,

in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, S&P (or a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) subsequently increases its Rating

applicable to the Notes to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher and Fitch (or a Substitute Rating

Agency therefor) subsequently increases its Rating applicable to the Notes to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a Substitute Rating

Agency) or higher, the interest rate payable on the Notes will be decreased to the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04.

In addition, the interest rate payable on the Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described in this Section 2.05

(notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the Ratings by any or all rating agencies) if the Notes become rated Baa1, BBB+ and BBB+ (or

the equivalent of any such Rating, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher by any two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch

(or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor).

10

(b)           If

at any time Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) ceases to provide a Rating of the Notes

for any reason, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Rating of the Notes from a Substitute Rating Agency,

to the extent one exists, and if a Substitute Rating Agency exists, for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest

rate payable on the Notes pursuant to the tables above (1) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the ratings agency

which has since ceased to provide such Rating, (2) the relative rating scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings

to senior unsecured debt shall be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed

by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable Ratings included in the applicable table above with respect to such Substitute

Rating Agency, such Ratings will be deemed to be the equivalent Ratings used by the Rating Agency which has since ceased to provide such

Rating in such table and (3) the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the

interest rate payable on the Notes equals the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04 plus the appropriate percentage per

annum, if any, set forth opposite the Rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the

provisions of clause (2) of this clause (b)), plus any applicable percentage per annum resulting from a decreased Rating by the other

ratings agencies.

(c)           For

so long as only one of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) provides a Rating of the

Notes, the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate payable on the

Notes equals the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04 plus twice any applicable percentage per annum resulting from a decreased

Rating by the rating agency continuing to provide a Rating. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate payable on the Notes

necessitated by a reduction or increase in the Rating by the agency continuing to provide a Rating shall be twice the percentage per annum

set forth in the applicable table above; provided, that the total increase in the interest rate payable on the Notes shall not exceed

2.000% per annum above the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04. No adjustments in the interest rate payable on the Notes

shall be made solely as a result of any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) ceasing

to provide a Rating of the Notes. If all of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) cease

to provide a Rating, and no Substitute Rating Agency has provided a Rating, the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase to, or

remain at, as the case may be, 2.000% per annum above the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04.

(d)           Any

interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect from the first day of the interest period commencing after the

date on which a rating change occurs that requires an adjustment in the interest rate. If Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any

case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) changes its Rating of the Notes more than once during any particular interest period, the last

change by such agency during such interest period will control for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to

the Notes described above relating to such Rating Agency’s action. If the interest payable on the Notes is increased as described

above, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless

the context otherwise requires.

11

(e)           For

purposes of this Section 2.05, the term “interest period” shall mean the period from and including an Interest

Payment Date (or if prior to the first Interest Payment Date, from and including September 28, 2026) to but excluding the next succeeding

Interest Payment Date.

The Company shall give the Trustee and the Holders

prompt written notice upon becoming aware of any increase or decrease, pursuant to this Section 2.05, in the interest rate

payable on the Notes, which notice shall set forth the amount of such increase or decrease, the basis therefor and the date from which

such increase or decrease shall take effect. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining whether a ratings downgrade

has occurred or a change in interest rate is warranted shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error and the

Trustee may rely upon such determination. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining the new interest rate, or be liable in

connection with any ratings downgrade or change in interest rate or for determining whether manifest error has occurred with regard to

the Company’s actions.

Section 2.06.         Other

Terms and Conditions.

to the 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:

(i)            (A) 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 Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury

Rate plus 45 basis points less (B) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(ii)          100%

of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest

thereon to the Redemption Date.

or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, 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.

(d)           The

Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent

manifest error.

(e)           On

unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the relevant Redemption

Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such

Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest,

if any. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures

of the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in

part.

(f)            Notice

of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC procedures) at least 10

days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the Redemption

Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined

Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

13

(g)           If

the Redemption Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, will be paid to the person in whose name the applicable Note is registered at the close of business on such interest

record date, and no additional interest is payable to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

(h)           In

the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by lot. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000

or less will be redeemed in part. The principal amount of a Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part will be $2,000 or an integral

multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of a global note, 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 DTC (or another depositary), DTC (or such other depositary) will determine the allocation

of the redemption price among beneficial owners of such Notes in accordance with DTC’s (or such other depositary’s) applicable

procedures.

(i)            Unless

the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or

portions thereof called for redemption.

(j)            Except

as described above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Company prior to their maturity date and will not be entitled to the benefit

of any sinking fund.

(k)           The

Company will notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price promptly after the calculation thereof, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility

for, or liability in connection with, any calculation or determination in respect of the Redemption Price of any Note (or any component

thereof) or determining whether manifest error has occurred with regard to the Company’s actions and determinations in determining

the Redemption Price, and shall be entitled to receive, and fully-protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate from the Company

that states such Redemption Price.

Article Four

Additional Covenants

Section 4.01.         Purchase

of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a)           If

a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its right to redeem the

Notes as set forth in Section 3.01 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall be required to make an offer (the

“Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and in integral

multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes, at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal

amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of

repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest

Payment Date). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the Notes or, at the Company’s option,

prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute

the Change of Control, the Company shall electronically deliver or mail 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

Notes on the payment 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 electronically delivered or mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if electronically

delivered or mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the

Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice.

(b)           On

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

(i)            accept

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

(ii)          deposit

with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount required to be paid by the Company as a result of the Change of Control

Repurchase Event in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and

(iii)         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.

(c)           The

Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the payment for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly

authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased

portion of any such Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple

of $1,000 in excess thereof.

15

(d)           Notwithstanding

the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 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

Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(e)           If

Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer

to repurchase the applicable Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Company, or any third party making an offer to repurchase

such Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event in lieu of the Company pursuant to Section 4.01(d) hereof, purchases

all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more

than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all Notes that remain

Outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest

due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(f)            The

Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder,

to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of 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 4.01,

the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under

this Section 4.01 by virtue of any such conflict.

(g)           The

Trustee shall have no responsibility for any calculation or determination in respect of the Change of Control Repurchase Event or repurchase

price of any Notes, or any component thereof, and shall be entitled to receive, and fully-protected in relying upon, an Officer’s

Certificate from the Company stating that such Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred and specifying such repurchase price.

Section 4.02.         Limitation

on Liens.

(a)            The

Company shall not incur, nor shall the Company permit any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries to incur, any Liens upon any Property

of the Company or any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter created or acquired, in order to secure Indebtedness

of the Company or any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries, in each case, unless prior to or at the same time, the Notes are equally

and ratably secured with (or, at the Company’s option, senior to) such secured Indebtedness until such time as such Indebtedness

is no longer secured by such Lien.

(b)            The

foregoing restriction, however, will not apply to:

(1)           Liens

on Property or Indebtedness existing with respect to any Person at the time such Person becomes the Company’s Subsidiary or a Subsidiary

of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a

Subsidiary;

16

(2)           Liens

on Property or Indebtedness existing at the time of acquisition by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or a Subsidiary

of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries of such Property or Indebtedness (which may include Property previously leased by the Company

or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries and leasehold interests on such Property; provided that the lease terminates prior to

or upon the acquisition) or Liens on Property or Indebtedness to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such Property

or Indebtedness, or Liens on Property or Indebtedness to secure any Indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months

after, the latest of the acquisition of such Property or Indebtedness or, in the case of Property, the completion of construction, the

completion of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such Property for the purpose of financing all or

any part of the purchase price of the Property and related costs and expenses, the construction or the making of the improvements;

(3)           Liens

securing the Company’s Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of

the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(4)           Liens

existing on the date of issuance of the Initial Notes;

(5)           Liens

on Property or assets of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Company or any of the Company’s

Subsidiaries, at the time such Person becomes the Company’s Subsidiary, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of

all or substantially all of the Properties or assets of a Person to the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries; provided

that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of the merger, consolidation, sale, lease, other disposition or other such transaction;

(6)           Liens

created in connection with or to secure a Non-recourse Obligation or a project financed thereby;

(7)           Liens

created to secure the Notes;

(8)           Liens

imposed by law or arising by operation of law, including, without limitation, landlords’, mailmen’s, suppliers’, vendors’,

carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanic’s Liens and other similar Liens, Liens for master’s and crew’s wages

and other similar laws, arising in the ordinary course of business, in each case for sums not yet overdue by more than 60 calendar days

or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or other Liens arising out of judgments or awards against such Person with

respect to which such Person shall then be proceeding with an appeal or other proceedings for review and Liens arising solely by virtue

of any statutory or common law provision relating to banker’s Liens, rights of set-off or similar rights and remedies as to deposit

accounts or other funds maintained with a creditor depository institution;

17

(9)           Liens

for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges or levies on Property not yet due or payable or subject to penalties for non-payment

or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

(10)         Liens

to secure the performance of obligations with respect to statutory or regulatory requirements, bids, trade contracts, leases, statutory

obligations, surety and appeal bonds, performance or return-of-money bonds and other obligations of a like nature;

(11)         Permitted

Liens; or

(12)         any

extensions, renewals or replacements of any Lien referred to in clauses (1) through (11) without increase of the principal of the

Indebtedness secured by such Lien (except to the extent of any fees or other costs associated with any such extension, renewal or replacement);

provided, however, that any Liens permitted by any of clauses (1) through (11) shall not extend to or cover any of

the Company’s Property or the Property of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, as the case may be, other than the Property specified

in such clauses and improvements to such Property.

(c)           Notwithstanding

the restrictions set forth in Section 4.02(a), the Company and its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness secured

by Liens, which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Notes, provided

that, after giving effect to such Indebtedness, the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted

under clauses (1) through (12) of Section 4.02(b) hereof), together with all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant

to Section 4.03(b) hereof, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets calculated as of the date of the creation

or incurrence of the Lien. The Company and its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries may also, without equally and ratably securing the Notes,

create or incur Liens that renew, substitute or replace (including successive renewals, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in

part, any Lien permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Section 4.03.         Limitation

on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

(a)           The

Company shall not, nor shall the Company permit any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction

(1)           such

transaction was entered into prior to the date of issuance of the Initial Notes;

(2)           such

transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company or any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries of any Property by one of the

Company’s Subsidiaries;

18

(3)           such

transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries within a period

of not more than three years);

(4)           the

Company would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such sale and leaseback transaction without equally

and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.02(b); or

(5)           the

Company applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such Property to the purchase of other Property or assets used or

useful in the Company’s business or to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness within 12 months before or after the effective date

of any such sale and leaseback transaction; provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness,

the Company may deliver debt securities (which may include the Notes) to the applicable trustee for cancellation, such debt securities

to be credited at the cost thereof to it.

(b)           Notwithstanding

the restrictions set forth in Section 4.03(a) hereof, the Company and its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries may enter into

any sale and leaseback transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions if, after giving effect thereto, the

aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to such transactions (not including Attributable Debt permitted under clauses (1) through

(5) of Section 4.03(a) hereof), together with all Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to Section 4.02(c) hereof,

does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets calculated as of the closing date of the sale and leaseback transaction.

Article Five

Additional Events of Default

Section 5.01.         Additional

Events of Default. In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, an “Event of

Default” with respect to the Notes occurs if:

(a)           failure

by the Company to repurchase the Notes tendered for repurchase following the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event in conformity

with Section 4.01 hereof; or

(b)           (i) a

failure to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, on any Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness

the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries) outstanding in an amount in excess of $250 million and continuance of this failure to pay

or (ii) a default on any Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries), which

default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $250 million without such Indebtedness having been

discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, for

a period of 30 days after written notice thereof to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not

less than 25% in principal amount of Outstanding Notes (including any Additional Notes); provided, however, that if any

failure, default or acceleration referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled,

then the Event of Default will be deemed cured.

KYNDRYL HOLDINGS, INC. 7.800% Senior Notes

due 2029

1.              Interest.

Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”)

promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above, subject to the adjustment of such

rate in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Third Supplemental Indenture. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent

date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from September 28, 2026. Interest on this Note will be paid

to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with

the provisions hereof. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on March 28,

2027, and on the Stated Maturity. If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not

a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if

made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment

Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest

will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

As provided in Section 2.05 of the Third Supplemental

Indenture, the interest rate payable on this Note will be subject to adjustment from time to time (1) if any of Moody’s, S&P

or Fitch downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating applicable to the Notes (a “Rating”) or (2) if

any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a Rating of the Notes publicly available, and a “nationally

recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company

as a replacement agency for Moody’s, S&P or Fitch downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) a Rating of the Notes.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal

from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to

any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for

payment.

2.              Paying

Agent.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,

N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Company may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders.

3.              Indenture;

Defined Terms.

This Note is one of the 7.800% Senior Notes due 2029

(the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2021 (as amended, modified or supplemented from

time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture,

dated as of September 28, 2026, the “Third Supplemental Indenture”, and, together with the Base Indenture, the

“Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Security” and the

Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.

4

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined

herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and

those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”)

as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes

are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the

terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

4.              Denominations;

Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons,

in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes

in accordance with the Indenture. The Company may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer

documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.

The Company need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15)

days before the sending of a notice of redemption, nor need the Company register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption

in whole or in part.

5.              Amendment;

Modification; Waiver.

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 Securities of each series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders

of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture

contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding

with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities

of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also

permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of

any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such

consent or waiver is made upon this Note. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Indenture also permits the amendment or supplement

thereof to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, error, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect

Optional Redemption.

The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part,

at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to maturity on at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice electronically

delivered or mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes (the “Redemption Date”) pursuant to the following

terms:

Prior to the 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:

(i)            (a) 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 Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury

Rate plus 45 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(ii)           100%

of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest

thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem

the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, 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.

The Company’s actions and determinations in

determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest

will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption

Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying

Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and (except if the Redemption

Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest, if any. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed

shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event shall Notes of

a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically

delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption

Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state, among other things, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and

the place or places that payment shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes to be redeemed. If the Redemption Price cannot

be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as set forth in the Indenture, shall be

set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption

Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable

on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption

Date.

6

Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at

the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity

offering or change of control, issuance of indebtedness or other transaction or event. If any redemption is subject to satisfaction of

one or more conditions precedent, the notice of redemption in respect thereof shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall

state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall

be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded

in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption

Date as stated in such notice, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the applicable

Redemption Price and the performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

If the Redemption Date is on or after an interest

record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the person in

whose name the applicable Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest is payable

to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

7.

Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase

Event.

and in the Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate

principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the

date of repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant

Interest Payment Date).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase

Event with respect to the Notes or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of

the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall electronically deliver or mail

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 Notes on the payment 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 electronically delivered

or mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if electronically delivered or mailed prior to

the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase

Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice.

7

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company

shall, to the extent lawful:

(i)            accept

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

(ii)          deposit

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

and

(iii)         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.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal

amount of the Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control

Repurchase Event and the Company, or any third party making an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event

in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right,

upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date,

to redeem all Notes that remain Outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount

thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant

Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

8.              Defaults

and Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes

occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding

Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and

to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately

due and payable.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations

therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to direct the time, method

and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee,

with respect to the Notes.

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 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 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.

6

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 Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States

Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally

distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call

Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two

or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the 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.

“Trustee” has the meaning provided

in the Preamble.

“U.S. Subsidiary” means any subsidiary

that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia.

“Voting Stock” of any specified

“person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) 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.

Article Two

General Terms and Conditions of the Notes

Section 2.01.         Designation

and Principal Amount.

(a)           There

is hereby authorized and designated a new series of securities: the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2032. The Notes may be authenticated and delivered

under the Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount. The Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture

shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000. The amount shall be set forth in the written order of the Company for the authentication

and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company

and will rank on the same basis with all of the Company’s other senior unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding.

7

(b)           In

addition, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, the Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of such

Holders, create and issue Additional Notes having the same terms as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the Notes (except for the issue

date, the public offering price and, if applicable, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes

and the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes); provided that if such Additional Notes are

not fungible with the Notes offered hereby for U.S. federal securities laws or U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes

will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Such Additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with, and will have the

same terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise, as the Notes, and will vote together as one class on all matters

with respect to the Notes.

Section 2.02.         Maturity.

Unless an earlier redemption has occurred, the principal

amount of the Notes shall mature and be due and payable, together with any accrued interest thereon, on January 15, 2032. If the

maturity date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest for the Notes

then due will be paid on the next Business Day. No interest on that payment will accrue from and after the maturity date.

Section 2.03.         Form and

Payment.

(a)           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.

(b)           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 Fourth Supplemental Indenture.

(c)           The

terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture,

and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms

and provisions and to be bound thereby.

(d)           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”).

(e)           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.

8

Section 2.04.         Interest.

Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.05,

interest on the Notes shall accrue at the rate of 7.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15

of each year, beginning on January 15, 2027. Each such interest payment date is referred to as an “Interest Payment Date”.

Interest on the Notes shall be payable to the Holders

in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding January 1 and July 1. Interest on the Notes

will accrue from and including September 28, 2026, to, but excluding, the first Interest Payment Date and then from and including

the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to, but excluding, the next Interest

Payment Date or maturity date, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of

twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or other payment date for the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of principal,

premium, if any, or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such

payment was due, and no interest on such payment shall accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date

or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.05.         Interest

Rate Adjustment.

The interest rate payable on the Notes will be

subject to adjustment from time to time (1) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt

rating applicable to the Notes (a “Rating”) or (2) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the

Notes or fails to make a Rating of the Notes publicly available, and a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”

within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency for Moody’s,

S&P or Fitch (a “Substitute Rating Agency”) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) a Rating of the Notes, in each

case as set forth below.

If the Rating from Moody’s (or a Substitute

Rating Agency therefor) applicable to the Notes is decreased to a Rating set forth in the immediately following table (or the equivalent

Rating, in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency), the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the

interest rate payable on the Notes set forth in Section 2.04 plus the percentage per annum set forth in the following table

opposite that Rating (plus, if applicable, the percentage per annum set forth opposite the applicable Rating in the table under each of

“S&P Rating” and “Fitch Rating”):

Moody’s Rating

Percentage

Ba1

0.250 %

Ba2

0.500 %

Ba3

0.750 %

B1 or below

1.000 %

9

If the Rating from S&P (or a Substitute Rating

Agency therefor) applicable to the Notes is decreased to a Rating set forth in the immediately following table (or the equivalent Rating,

in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency), the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest

rate payable on the Notes set forth in Section 2.04 plus the percentage per annum set forth in the following table opposite

that Rating (plus, if applicable, the percentage per annum set forth opposite the applicable Rating in the table under each of “Moody’s

Rating” and “Fitch Rating”):

S&P Rating

Percentage

BB+

0.250 %

BB

0.500 %

BB-

0.750 %

B+ or below

1.000 %

If the Rating from Fitch (or a Substitute Rating

Agency therefor) applicable to the Notes is decreased to a Rating set forth in the immediately following table (or the equivalent Rating,

in the case of any Substitute Rating Agency), the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest

rate payable on the Notes set forth in Section 2.04 plus the percentage per annum set forth in the following table opposite

that Rating (plus, if applicable, the percentage per annum set forth opposite the applicable Rating in the table under each of “Moody’s

Rating” and “S&P Rating”):

Fitch Rating

1.000 %

For purposes of making adjustments to the interest

rate payable on the Notes, the following rules of interpretation will apply:

(a)           If

at any time the Rating on the Notes has been increased as a result of a decrease in Rating by any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or,

in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency) and if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor)

subsequently increases its Rating applicable to the Notes to any of the threshold Ratings set forth above, the interest rate payable on

the Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate payable on the Notes equals the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04

plus the percentage per annum set forth opposite the Ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase in Rating.

Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a Rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s, S&P

or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event

shall (1) the interest rate payable on the Notes be reduced to below the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04 or (2) the

total increase in the interest rate payable on the Notes exceed 2.000% per annum above the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04.

If Moody’s (or a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) subsequently increases its Rating applicable to the Notes to Baa3 (or its equivalent,

in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, S&P (or a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) subsequently increases its Rating

applicable to the Notes to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher and Fitch (or a Substitute Rating

Agency therefor) subsequently increases its Rating applicable to the Notes to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a Substitute Rating

Agency) or higher, the interest rate payable on the Notes will be decreased to the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04.

In addition, the interest rate payable on the Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described in this Section 2.05

(notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the Ratings by any or all rating agencies) if the Notes become rated Baa1, BBB+ and BBB+ (or

the equivalent of any such Rating, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher by any two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch

(or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor).

10

(b)           If

at any time Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) ceases to provide a Rating of the Notes

for any reason, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Rating of the Notes from a Substitute Rating Agency,

to the extent one exists, and if a Substitute Rating Agency exists, for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest

rate payable on the Notes pursuant to the tables above (1) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the ratings agency

which has since ceased to provide such Rating, (2) the relative rating scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings

to senior unsecured debt shall be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed

by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable Ratings included in the applicable table above with respect to such Substitute

Rating Agency, such Ratings will be deemed to be the equivalent Ratings used by the Rating Agency which has since ceased to provide such

Rating in such table and (3) the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the

interest rate payable on the Notes equals the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04 plus the appropriate percentage per

annum, if any, set forth opposite the Rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the

provisions of clause (2) of this clause (b)), plus any applicable percentage per annum resulting from a decreased Rating by the other

ratings agencies.

(c)           For

so long as only one of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) provides a Rating of the

Notes, the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate payable on the

Notes equals the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04 plus twice any applicable percentage per annum resulting from a decreased

Rating by the rating agency continuing to provide a Rating. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate payable on the Notes

necessitated by a reduction or increase in the Rating by the agency continuing to provide a Rating shall be twice the percentage per annum

set forth in the applicable table above; provided, that the total increase in the interest rate payable on the Notes shall not exceed

2.000% per annum above the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04. No adjustments in the interest rate payable on the Notes

shall be made solely as a result of any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) ceasing

to provide a Rating of the Notes. If all of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch (or, in any case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) cease

to provide a Rating, and no Substitute Rating Agency has provided a Rating, the interest rate payable on the Notes will increase to, or

remain at, as the case may be, 2.000% per annum above the interest rate set forth in Section 2.04.

(d)           Any

interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect from the first day of the interest period commencing after the

date on which a rating change occurs that requires an adjustment in the interest rate. If Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in any

case, a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) changes its Rating of the Notes more than once during any particular interest period, the last

change by such agency during such interest period will control for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to

the Notes described above relating to such Rating Agency’s action. If the interest payable on the Notes is increased as described

above, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless

the context otherwise requires.

11

(e)           For

purposes of this Section 2.05, the term “interest period” shall mean the period from and including an Interest

Payment Date (or if prior to the first Interest Payment Date, from and including September 28, 2026) to but excluding the next succeeding

Interest Payment Date.

The Company shall give the Trustee and the Holders

prompt written notice upon becoming aware of any increase or decrease, pursuant to this Section 2.05, in the interest rate

payable on the Notes, which notice shall set forth the amount of such increase or decrease, the basis therefor and the date from which

such increase or decrease shall take effect. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining whether a ratings downgrade

has occurred or a change in interest rate is warranted shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error and the

Trustee may rely upon such determination. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining the new interest rate, or be liable in

connection with any ratings downgrade or change in interest rate or for determining whether manifest error has occurred with regard to

the Company’s actions.

Section 2.06.         Other

Terms and Conditions.

(a)           The

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions of Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture will apply to the Notes and the covenants

set forth in Article Four shall be subject to the provisions of Section 13.03 of the Base Indenture. The provisions of Article Four

of the Base Indenture will apply to the Notes.

(b)           The

Notes will be subject to the Events of Default provided in Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by Section 5.01.

(c)           The

Trustee will initially be the Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

(d)           The

Notes will be subject to the covenants provided in Article Ten of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by Article Four.

12

Article Three

Redemption

Section 3.01.         Optional

Redemption of the Notes.

(a)           Subject

to Section 6.04, the provisions of Article Eleven of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the provisions of this Fourth

Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes.

(b)           Prior

to the 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:

(i)            (A) 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 Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury

Rate plus 50 basis points less (B) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(ii)           100%

of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest

thereon to the Redemption Date.

(c)           On

or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, 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.

(d)           The

Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent

manifest error.

(e)           On

and after any Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption,

unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the relevant Redemption

Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such

Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest,

if any. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures

of the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in

part.

(f)            Notice

of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC procedures) at least 10

days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the Redemption

Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined

at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption

Price, calculated as described above in clause (b) or (c) of this Section 3.01, as applicable, shall be set forth

in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption

having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the relevant Redemption

Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

13

(g)           If

the Redemption Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, will be paid to the person in whose name the applicable Note is registered at the close of business on such interest

record date, and no additional interest is payable to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

(h)           In

the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by lot. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000

or less will be redeemed in part. The principal amount of a Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part will be $2,000 or an integral

multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of a global note, 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 DTC (or another depositary), DTC (or such other depositary) will determine the allocation

of the redemption price among beneficial owners of such Notes in accordance with DTC’s (or such other depositary’s) applicable

procedures.

(i)            Unless

the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or

portions thereof called for redemption.

(j)            Except

as described above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Company prior to their maturity date and will not be entitled to the benefit

of any sinking fund.

(k)           The

Company will notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price promptly after the calculation thereof, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility

for, or liability in connection with, any calculation or determination in respect of the Redemption Price of any Note (or any component

thereof) or determining whether manifest error has occurred with regard to the Company’s actions and determinations in determining

the Redemption Price, and shall be entitled to receive, and fully-protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate from the Company

that states such Redemption Price.

Article Four

Additional Covenants

Section 4.01.         Purchase

of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a)           If

a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its right to redeem the

Notes as set forth in Section 3.01 of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall be required to make an offer (the

“Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and in integral

multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes, at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal

amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of

repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest

Payment Date). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the Notes or, at the Company’s option,

prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute

the Change of Control, the Company shall electronically deliver or mail 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

Notes on the payment 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 electronically delivered or mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if electronically

delivered or mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the

Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice.

(b)           On

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

(i)            accept

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

(ii)          deposit

with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount required to be paid by the Company as a result of the Change of Control

Repurchase Event in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and

(iii)         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.

(c)           The

Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the payment for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly

authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased

portion of any such Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple

of $1,000 in excess thereof.

15

(d)           Notwithstanding

the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 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

Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(e)           If

Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer

to repurchase the applicable Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Company, or any third party making an offer to repurchase

such Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event in lieu of the Company pursuant to Section 4.01(d) hereof, purchases

all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more

than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all Notes that remain

Outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest

due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(f)            The

Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder,

to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of 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 4.01,

the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under

this Section 4.01 by virtue of any such conflict.

(g)           The

Trustee shall have no responsibility for any calculation or determination in respect of the Change of Control Repurchase Event or repurchase

price of any Notes, or any component thereof, and shall be entitled to receive, and fully-protected in relying upon, an Officer’s

Certificate from the Company stating that such Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred and specifying such repurchase price.

Section 4.02.         Limitation

on Liens.

(a)           The

Company shall not incur, nor shall the Company permit any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries to incur, any Liens upon any Property

of the Company or any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter created or acquired, in order to secure Indebtedness

of the Company or any of its wholly-owned U.S. Subsidiaries, in each case, unless prior to or at the same time, the Notes are equally

and ratably secured with (or, at the Company’s option, senior to) such secured Indebtedness until such time as such Indebtedness

is no longer secured by such Lien.

(b)           The

foregoing restriction, however, will not apply to:

(1)           Liens

on Property or Indebtedness existing with respect to any Person at the time such Person becomes the Company’s Subsidiary or a Subsidiary

of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a

Subsidiary;

18

(3)           such

transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries within a period

of not more than three years);

(4)           the

Company would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such sale and leaseback transaction without equally

and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.02(b); or

(5)           the

Company applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such Property to the purchase of other Property or assets used or

useful in the Company’s business or to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness within 12 months before or after the effective date

(5) of Section 4.03(a) hereof), together with all Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to Section 4.02(c) hereof,

does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets calculated as of the closing date of the sale and leaseback transaction.

the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries) outstanding in an amount in excess of $250 million and continuance of this failure to pay

or (ii) a default on any Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness the Company owes to any of its Subsidiaries), which

due 2032

1.              Interest.

Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”)

promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above, subject to the adjustment of such

rate in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent

date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from September 28, 2026. Interest on this Note will be paid

to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with

the provisions hereof. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on January 15,

2027, and on the Stated Maturity. If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not

a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if

made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment

Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest

will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

As provided in Section 2.05 of the Fourth

Supplemental Indenture, the interest rate payable on this Note will be subject to adjustment from time to time (1) if any of Moody’s,

S&P or Fitch downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating applicable to the Notes (a “Rating”) or (2) if

any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a Rating of the Notes publicly available, and a “nationally

recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company

as a replacement agency for Moody’s, S&P or Fitch downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) a Rating of the Notes.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal

from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to

any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for

payment.

2.

Paying Agent.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,

N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Company may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders.

3.

Indenture; Defined Terms.

This Note is one of the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2032

(the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2021 (as amended, modified or supplemented from

time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture,

dated as of September 28, 2026, the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”, and, together with the Base Indenture, the

“Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Security” and the

Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.

4

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined

herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and

those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”)

as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes

are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the

terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

4.

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons,

in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes

in accordance with the Indenture. The Company may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer

documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.

The Company need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15)

days before the sending of a notice of redemption, nor need the Company register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption

in whole or in part.

5.

Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

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 Securities of each series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders

of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture

contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding

with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities

of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also

permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of

the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. 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 Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such

consent or waiver is made upon this Note. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Indenture also permits the amendment or supplement

thereof to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, error, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect

the interests of the Holders.

6.

Optional Redemption.

The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part,

at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to maturity on at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice electronically

delivered or mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes (the “Redemption Date”) pursuant to the following

terms:

Prior to the 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:

(i)            (a) 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 Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury

Rate plus 50 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(ii)           100%

of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest

thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem

the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, 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.

The Company’s actions and determinations in

determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest

will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption

Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying

Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and (except if the Redemption

Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest, if any. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed

shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event shall Notes of

a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically

delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption

Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state, among other things, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and

the place or places that payment shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes to be redeemed. If the Redemption Price cannot

be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as set forth in the Indenture, shall be

set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption

Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable

on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption

Date.

6

Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at

the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity

offering or change of control, issuance of indebtedness or other transaction or event. If any redemption is subject to satisfaction of

one or more conditions precedent, the notice of redemption in respect thereof shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall

state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall

be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded

in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption

Date as stated in such notice, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the applicable

Redemption Price and the performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

If the Redemption Date is on or after an interest

record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the person in

whose name the applicable Note is registered at the close of business on such interest record date, and no additional interest is payable

to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

7.

Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase

Event.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with

respect to the Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its right to redeem the Notes, the Company shall be required to make an

offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and

in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture

and in the Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate

principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the

date of repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant

Interest Payment Date).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase

Event with respect to the Notes or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of

the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall electronically deliver or mail

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 Notes on the payment 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 electronically delivered

or mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if electronically delivered or mailed prior to

the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase

Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice.

7

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company

shall, to the extent lawful:

(i)            accept

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

(ii)           deposit

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

and

(iii)          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.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal

amount of the Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control

Repurchase Event and the Company, or any third party making an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event

in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right,

upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date,

to redeem all Notes that remain Outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount

thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant

Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

8.

Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes

occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding

Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and

to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately

Re: Offering of Senior Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Kyndryl Holdings, Inc.,

a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the sale by the Company of $600,000,000 aggregate principal

amount of its 7.800% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.875%

Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”), pursuant

to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated September 24, 2026 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among

the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of

the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of October 15,

2021 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the

“Trustee”), as supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture relating to the 2029 Notes (the “Third Supplemental

Indenture”) and a Fourth Supplemental Indenture relating to the 2032 Notes (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”

and, together with the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”), each dated as of September 28,

2026, between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indentures is herein referred to as

the “Indenture.” The Notes are being offered pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

(the “Securities Act”). This opinion is being delivered in connection with that certain Registration Statement on Form S-3

(No. 333-276713), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 26,

2024 (the “Registration Statement”) and the related prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, as supplemented

by the final prospectus supplement relating to the Notes, dated September 24, 2026, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424

under the Securities Act (as so supplemented, the “Prospectus”).

We have examined such documents

as we have considered necessary for purposes of this opinion, including (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Prospectus,

(iii) the Indenture, (iv) copies of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company, (v) the Underwriting Agreement,

(vi) the form of global certificate evidencing the 2029 Notes, (vii) the form of global certificate evidencing the 2032 Notes,

(viii) a certificate of the Secretary of the Company, dated September 28, 2026, including the exhibits thereto, (ix) a

certificate, dated September 16, 2026, and a facsimile bringdown thereof, dated September 28, 2026, from the Office of the Secretary

of the State of Delaware as to the existence and good standing in the State of Delaware of the Company and (x) such other documents

and matters of law as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter expressed.

As to questions of fact material

to the opinions expressed below, we have relied without independent check or verification upon certificates and comparable documents of

public officials and officers and representatives of the Company and statements of fact contained in the documents we have examined. In

our examination and in rendering our opinions contained herein, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures of all parties;

(ii) the authenticity of all corporate records, documents, agreements, instruments and certificates submitted to us as originals

and the conformity to original documents and agreements of all documents and agreements submitted to us as conformed, certified or photostatic

copies; (iii) the due organization, valid existence and good standing of all parties (other than the Company) under all applicable

laws; (iv) the legal right and power of all parties (other than the Company) under all applicable laws and regulations to enter into,

execute and deliver such documents, agreements and instruments; (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Registration

Statement and due authorization of all documents, agreements and instruments (including the Indenture) by all parties thereto (other than

the Company) and the binding effect of such documents, agreements and instruments on all parties (other than the Company); (vi) that

all consents, approvals and authorizations by any governmental authority required to be obtained by all parties (other than the Company)

have been obtained by such parties; and (vii) the capacity of natural persons. In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies

certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such corporate records of the Company and such other instruments and other

certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and such other persons, and we have made such investigations

of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion expressed below.

Based on the foregoing, and

subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that the Notes have been duly authorized and,

when they have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by

the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the

Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

The opinions expressed herein

are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United

States as in effect on the date of this letter and typically applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in this letter and to

the specific legal matters expressly addressed herein, and no opinion is expressed or implied with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction

or any legal matter not expressly addressed herein.

The opinions set forth above

are qualified in that the legality or enforceability of the documents referred to therein may be (a) subject to applicable bankruptcy,

insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, (b) limited insofar as the remedies

of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and the discretion of

the court before which any enforcement thereof may be sought, and (c) subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether

enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) including principles of commercial reasonableness or conscionability

and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Insofar as provisions of any of the documents referenced in this letter provide

for indemnification or contribution, the enforcement thereof may be limited by public policy considerations.

Kyndryl Holdings, Inc.

We hereby consent to the use

of our name in the Prospectus, under the heading “Legal Matters,” as counsel for the Company who has passed on the validity

of the Notes and to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 28,

2026. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7

of the Securities Act.

The opinion expressed herein

is rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments

or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinion expressed herein.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP
