Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 28, 2026 Kennametal Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Kennametal” or the “Company”), completed the public offer and sale of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.800% Senior Notes due May 28, 2036 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after deducting the underwriters’ discount and the estimated offering expenses payable by Kennametal, are approximately $295,932,716.
Kennametal intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to fund the consideration for the purchase of its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to a previously announced concurrent tender offer for the 2028 Notes. Any excess proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include redemption or repayment of outstanding indebtedness, including any untendered 2028 Notes.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated February 14, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”) between Kennametal and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) (“U.S. Bank”), as trustee, as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated May 28, 2026 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”) between Kennametal and U.S. Bank, as trustee. Kennametal may issue additional debt securities from time to time pursuant to the Base Indenture.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Kennametal Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the
“Representatives”), $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.800% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to (1) an Indenture dated February 14, 2012
(the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and (2) the Fifth Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Supplemental
Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee.
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
(File No. 333-283027), 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 “Base Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus dated November 6, 2024 included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430
Information. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” shall mean the preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus dated May 19, 2026 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”, and together with the Base Prospectus,
the “Preliminary Prospectus”), which describes the Securities and the offering thereof and is first distributed to investors prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below). The term “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus
supplement relating to the Securities that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, together with the Base Prospectus included in the Registration Statement. Any reference in 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 the Applicable Time, the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Pricing
Disclosure Package”): the Preliminary Prospectus and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex A hereto.
“Applicable Time” means 2:50 P.M., New York City time, on May 19, 2026.
2. Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters.
(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 the respective number of Securities set forth opposite such
Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at the price equal to 98.998% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, from May 28, 2026 to the Closing Date.
(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 Preliminary Prospectus. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Securities to
or through any affiliate of an Underwriter.
(c) Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to the account specified by the Company to the Representatives at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10017 at 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on May 28, 2026, or at such other time or place on
the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment for the Securities is referred to herein as the “Closing
Date.”
2
Payment for the Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date shall be made against
delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Securities to be purchased on such date, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of such Securities duly paid by the Company.
(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are 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 Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the
Company.

Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in such
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement 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 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 Pricing Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on
behalf of each Underwriter: the concession figure appearing in the fifth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” and the information contained in the ninth and tenth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting.”
(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 in 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
17
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 interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such 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, its officers who signed the Registration Statement 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying
Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying
Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 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.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification
provided for in paragraphs (a) and (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.
18
(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 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 6, 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 6 are several in proportion to their respective purchase
obligations hereunder and not joint.
(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for
in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
7. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
8. 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 prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market,
the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade; (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 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 Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
9. 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 on
such date, 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
19
necessary in the Registration Statement 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 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 9, 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 number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on such date, then the Company shall have the right
to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number
of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) 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 number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date exceeds
one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, 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 9 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 10 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 6 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.
(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.
10. Payment of Expenses.
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will 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 Pricing Disclosure
Package 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 reasonable fees and expenses
of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities under the state or foreign securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions
as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) all expenses and application fees incurred
in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, FINRA; (vii) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; (viii) the costs incident to the
rating of the Securities by any rating agencies; and (ix) the costs incident to the engagement of the Trustee and its counsel.
20
(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, (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 reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and
the offering contemplated hereby.
11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.
12. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the
Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.
13. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term
“affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and
(c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
14. Miscellaneous.

legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Agreement may be signed in counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may

transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any
such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that any
Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted

Note: It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on or about May 28, 2026,
which will be the sixth business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+6”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under 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 the date of pricing or on any subsequent date that is prior to the first trading day
preceding the date on which we deliver the notes to the underwriters for the offering will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+6, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade
to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

WHEREAS, the Company executed and

“Securities”), to be issued from time to time in one or more series as determined by the Company under the Base Indenture;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture, the Company desires to provide for the establishment of a new series of its Securities
to be known as its 5.800% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”), the form and substance of such Notes and the terms, provisions and conditions thereof to be set forth as provided in the Base Indenture and this Fifth Supplemental
Indenture (together, the “Indenture”); and
WHEREAS, all acts and requirements necessary to make this Fifth
Supplemental Indenture, when executed and delivered by the parties hereto, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the Holders thereof, and for the purpose of setting forth, as
provided in the Indenture, the form and substance of the Notes and the terms, provisions and conditions thereof, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee as follows:

(c) a term defined in both the Base Indenture and in this Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall have the meaning set forth in this Fifth
Supplemental Indenture;

(f) the following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 1.01(f):
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or
consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(2)
the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of
which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified,
consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such
transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving
effect to such transaction; or
(4)
the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be considered to be a Change of Control if (a) the Company becomes a direct or
indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(x) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s
Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (y) immediately following that transaction, no Person is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

upgraded to an investment grade credit rating or (in the case of a withdrawal) replaced by an investment grade credit rating;
4

(3)

is further downgraded by one or more notches (for illustration, Ba1 to Ba2 being one notch) or withdrawn and is not within such period subsequently upgraded to its earlier credit rating or better by such Rating Agency (in the case of a pre-Change of Control Non-Investment Grade Rating);
provided that in making the relevant decision(s) referred to above to downgrade or withdraw such ratings, as applicable, the relevant Rating
Agency announces publicly or confirms in writing to the Company that such decision(s) resulted, in whole or in part, from the occurrence of such Change of Control or the first public announcement of the intention to effect such Change of Control.
The Company will provide the Trustee written notice of any Rating Event.
“Restricted Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary
of the Company that is not an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the
yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company
after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date (or in the case of a
satisfaction and discharge, the third Business Day preceding any deposit of funds with the Trustee or paying agent) based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release
published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government
securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the 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 the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
“Unrestricted Subsidiary” means (1) any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of a state of the United States or the
District of Columbia and any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary which is not organized under the laws of a state of the United States or the District of Columbia and (2) any Subsidiaries that at the time of determination shall be designated an
Unrestricted Subsidiary by the Board of Directors and any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiaries (including any newly-acquired or newly-formed Subsidiary) organized under the laws of a state of the
United States or of the District of Columbia to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary owns any Capital Stock of, or owns or holds any Property of, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, provided, however, that the Subsidiary
to be so designated has total assets of $35,000,000 or less.
“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified
Person as of any date, the Capital Stock of such Person (whether now or hereafter authorized, regardless of whether such Capital Stock shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage with respect to the rights of the holders thereof to participate in
dividends and in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of such corporation) that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.
ARTICLE 2.
GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES
Section 2.01. Designation and Principal Amount. The Notes are hereby authorized and are designated
the 5.800% Senior Notes due 2036, unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will be in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000, which amount shall be set forth in the
written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture. In addition, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, additional
Notes ranking equally and ratably with the Notes issued hereunder in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest following the Issue Date of such further Notes), so that such further Notes shall be consolidated and form a
single series with the Notes and shall be governed by the terms of this Indenture.
7
Section 2.02. Maturity. The principal amount of the Notes will be payable on
May 28, 2036.
Section 2.03. Form and Payment. The Notes will be issued as global notes, in fully registered book-entry
form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Principal, premium, if any,
and/or interest, if any, on the global notes representing the Notes will be made to The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”).
The global notes representing the Notes will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and will 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.
So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, the
Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be the sole Holder of the Notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as otherwise provided herein, each actual purchaser of each Note represented by a global note
(“Beneficial Owner”) will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no global note representing the Notes shall be
exchangeable or transferable. Accordingly, each Beneficial Owner must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Beneficial Owner is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such Beneficial Owner owns its
interest in order to exercise any rights of a Holder under such global note or the Indenture.
The global notes representing the Notes
will be exchangeable for certificated Notes of like tenor and terms and of differing authorized denominations aggregating a like principal amount, only, subject to the terms of the Indenture, if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the global notes, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law and a successor to the Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days,
(iii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the global notes shall be exchangeable for certificated Notes and notifies the Trustee of such determination or (iv) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default
under the Indenture with respect to the Notes. Upon any such exchange, the certificated Notes shall be registered in the names of the Beneficial Owners of the global notes representing the Notes, which names shall be provided by the
Depositary’s relevant participants (as identified by the Depositary) to the Trustee. In such event the Company will execute, and subject to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate
evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global notes
in exchange for such global notes. Upon the exchange of the global notes for such Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the global
8
notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such Notes in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the global notes shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as
the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Notes to the Company for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.
Section 2.04. Interest. The Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 5.800% per annum. Interest on the Notes shall accrue
from May 28, 2026, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided upon for the Notes, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 28 and
November 28, commencing November 28, 2026 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on May 15 and November 15 (even if such date is not a
Business Day), as the case may be, preceding such Interest Payment Date.
ARTICLE 3.
REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES
Section 3.01. Optional Redemption.
Prior to February 28, 2036 (three months prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes) (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 as determined by the Company (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to
the greater of:
(1) (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to
the Redemption Date (assuming, for this purpose, that 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 20 basis points, less (ii) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and
(2) 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.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s
procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
9
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro
rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems appropriate and fair, and, in the case of Notes held by DTC (or another depositary), in accordance with the applicable policies and procedures of DTC (or the applicable depositary). No Notes
of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new note in
a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the
redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.
Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Section 3.02. No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
Section 3.03. Change of Control Offer.
(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a
portion (equal to $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
(b) The Company will be required to send a notice to each Holder of
the Notes by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public
announcement of the pending Change of Control. The notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and will describe, among other things, the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and the
purchase date. The purchase date will be at least 30 days but no more than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). If the notice is mailed prior to
the date of consummation of the Change of Control, the notice will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept for payment all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes not validly withdrawn;
(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent the required payment for all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes not validly
withdrawn; and
10
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the repurchased Notes,
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of repurchased Notes.
(d) The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in
compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its Change of Control Offer.
(e) 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 Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such
securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the
Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

an amount equal to the value of such transaction, defined as the greater of the net proceeds of the sale of the property leased in such transaction or the fair value, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, of the leased property at the time such
transaction was entered into.
SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.
Compliance with Sections 10.09 and 10.10 may not be waived by the Trustee unless the Holders of at least a majority in

KENNAMETAL INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the

(REVERSE OF NOTE)
KENNAMETAL INC.
5.800% Senior
Notes due 2036
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the
“Securities”) specified in the Indenture (as defined below), all issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February 14, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), duly
executed and delivered between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Fifth Supplemental
Indenture, dated May 28, 2026 (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. By the terms of the Indenture, the
Securities are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Indenture.
The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
Prior to February 28, 2036 (three months prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes) (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 as determined by the Company (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the
greater of:
(1) (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the
Redemption Date (assuming, for this purpose, that 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 20 basis points, less (ii) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and
(2) 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.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s
procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro
rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems appropriate and fair, and, in the case of Notes held by DTC (or another depositary), in accordance with the applicable policies and procedures of DTC (or the applicable depositary). No Notes
of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new note in
a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the
redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.
Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), Holders will have the right to require the Company
to repurchase the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of
(a) the entire indebtedness of this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.
In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Notes may be declared, and upon such
declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The
Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series affected at the time Outstanding, to execute supplemental
indentures for the purpose of, among other things, adding any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however,
that, among other things, no such supplemental indenture shall (i) reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (subject to the Company’s right to defer such payments in the
manner set forth herein), or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the Holder of each Note so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to
any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Note then Outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting, among other things, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of all of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to such series, and its consequences, except a Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange for or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
2
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, place and at the rates and in the money herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable by the registered Holder hereof
on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania duly endorsed by, or accompanied by, a written instrument or instruments of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount
and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Security
Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any
claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, and such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof,
expressly waived and released.
The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to, among other things, merge or
consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets or create or incur liens on certain of its property. All such covenants and limitations are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions. The Company must report periodically to the Trustee on compliance with the covenants in the Indenture.
A
director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes of this series or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note.
3
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures (“CUSIP”), the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed hereon.
The Notes of this series are issuable only in fully registered book-entry form without
coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. This Global Note is exchangeable for Notes in definitive form only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.
All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Re:
Kennametal Inc.
5.800% Senior Notes due 2036
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special
counsel to Kennametal Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the issuance by the Company of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.800% Senior Notes due 2036 (the
“Notes”), which Notes are registered on the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-248209) (the “Registration
Statement”), which was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), of certain securities of the Company. The issuance of the Notes is described in the Company’s Prospectus, dated November 6, 2024 (the “Base Prospectus”) and Prospectus Supplement, dated May 19,
2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). The Registration Statement became effective on November 6, 2024. This opinion letter is being furnished in
accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of Form S-3 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Notes are being issued under that certain indenture dated as of February 14, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”) between
the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 28,
2026, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and are being offered to the public in accordance with an Underwriting Agreement,
dated May 19, 2026 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company and the Underwriters named on Schedule 1 thereto. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration
Statement or the Indenture.
We have examined (a) the Registration Statement; (b) the Prospectus Supplement; (c) an
executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement; (d) a copy of the certificate, dated May 28, 2026, representing the Notes; and (e) an executed copy of the Indenture. In addition, we have examined the originals (or copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of such other corporate records, agreements, instruments, certificates, and documents and have reviewed such questions of law and made such inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the
purposes of the opinions rendered herein.

In such examination, we have assumed the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all
documents, records and certificates submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents, records and certificates submitted to us as copies and the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the originals of all documents,
records and certificates submitted to us as copies. We have assumed the legal capacity and genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with the opinions set forth below. As to matters of fact (but not as to legal
conclusions), to the extent we deemed proper, we have relied on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and of public officials.
We have also assumed for purposes of this opinion letter, without investigation, that: (i) each of the parties to the Indenture and the
Notes (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and each person executing and delivering any of the Transaction Documents by or on behalf of any such party, has the full power, authority and legal capacity (including the taking of all
requisite action) to execute, deliver and perform, or cause the performance of, as the case may be, such party’s obligations under the Transaction Documents; (ii) each of the parties to any of the Transaction Documents has been duly
formed and organized and each of such parties is validly existing and, if applicable, in good standing, in the respective jurisdiction of its formation; (iii) each of the parties to any of the Transaction Documents has duly authorized, executed
and delivered each such Transaction Document; (iv) the execution and delivery by any party of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents, does not and will not contravene, conflict with, violate, or result in a
breach of or default under any law, rule, regulation, resolution, guideline, interpretation, restriction, limitation, policy, procedure, ordinance, order, writ, judgment, decree, determination, or ruling applicable to such party, or to the property
of such party; (v) any authorization, approval, consent, waiver, or other action by, notice to, or filing, qualification, or declaration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or body or other person required for the due execution,
delivery, or performance of any of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance and sale of the Notes, by or on behalf of any of the parties to any such Transaction Document has been
obtained or made; and (vi) any litigation relating to the Transaction Documents will be brought before a New York State court or a United States federal court sitting in New York.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the
opinion that when the certificate representing the Notes has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and the Notes have been delivered by the Company to the Underwriters against payment therefor
in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to
