SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of May 29, 2024, by and between Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Truist Bank, a North Carolina banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Company has heretofore executed and delivered to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) (the “Prior Trustee”) an indenture, dated as of December 15, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”) and executed and delivered to the Trustee (as successor to the Prior Trustee) a first supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2024 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of the Company’s securities.

The Company desires and has requested the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture to join with it in the execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture in order to supplement the Base Indenture as, and to the extent set forth herein to provide for the issuance and the terms of the Notes (as defined below).

Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture provides, among other things, that the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any holders of the Company’s Securities, may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture to set forth the terms applicable to any series of debt securities.

The execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof.

All conditions and requirements necessary to make this Second Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and legal instrument in accordance with its terms have been performed and fulfilled by the parties hereto and the execution and delivery thereof have been in all respects duly authorized by the parties hereto.

The Company and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined herein) of the 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and 5.450% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”):

ARTICLE 1.

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

Section 1.01 Relationship with Base Indenture.

The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly made a part of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.

1

The Trustee accepts the amendment of the Base Indenture effected by this Second Supplemental Indenture and agrees to execute the trust created by the Base Indenture as hereby amended, but only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture, including the terms and provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee in the performance of the trust created by the Base Indenture, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to any of the recitals or statements contained herein, all of which recitals or statements are made solely by the Company, or for or with respect to (1) the validity or sufficiency of this Second Supplemental Indenture or any of the terms or provisions hereof, (2) the proper authorization hereof by the Company, (3) the due execution hereof by the Company or (4) the consequences (direct or indirect and whether deliberate or inadvertent) of any amendment herein provided for, and the Trustee makes no representation with respect to any such matters. In entering into this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability or affording protection to the Trustee, whether or not elsewhere herein so provided.

Section 1.02 Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture. The following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 1.02:

“Acquiring Person” means any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than (a) the Company or one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries, (b) The Coca-Cola Company or one or more of its subsidiaries or (c) J. Frank Harrison, III or one or more Harrison Family Members.

“Additional Notes” means any Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued under this Second Supplemental Indenture in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, as part of the same series as the applicable series of the Initial Notes.

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary that apply to such transfer or exchange.

“Attributable Debt” with regard to a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property means, at the time of determination, the lesser of (1) the present value of the total net amount of lease payments required to be paid under such lease during the remaining term thereof (after deducting the amount of rent to be received under non-cancellable subleases and including any period for which such lease has been extended), discounted at the greater of (i) the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by the Notes or (ii) the interest rate inherent in such lease, in each case, as determined by the chief financial officer, treasurer or controller of the Company, compounded semiannually, or (2) the sale price for the Principal Property so sold and leased multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction and the denominator of which is the base term of such lease. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of (x) the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but shall not include any rent that would be required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or (y) the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

2

For purposes of determining such Attributable Debt, “lease payments” are the aggregate amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to the applicable period, after excluding amounts required to be paid on account-of maintenance and repairs, water rates and similar utility charges. If and to the extent the amount of any lease payment during any future period is not definitely determinable under the lease in question, the amount of such lease payment will be estimated in such reasonable manner as the chief financial officer, treasurer or controller of the Company may in good faith determine.

“Base Indenture” has the meaning set forth in the preamble to this Second Supplemental Indenture, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets taken as a whole to any Acquiring Person;

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Acquiring Person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Equity, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

(3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Acquiring Person, or any Acquiring Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Equity or the Voting Equity of such other Acquiring Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Equity outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Equity of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

(4) the first day on which the majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors ceases to be Continuing Directors;

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

(6) the consummation of a so-called “going private/Rule 13e-3 transaction” that results in any of the effects described in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision), following which J. Frank Harrison, III or any Harrison Family Members beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Equity, measured by voting power rather than number of shares.

3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Equity of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Equity immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Equity of such holding company.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Notes of a series cease to be rated Investment Grade by both of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change). Unless both of the Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Notes of a series at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes of such Series will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by both of the Rating Agencies during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means, as of any date on which the Company effects a transaction requiring such Consolidated Net Tangible Assets to be measured hereunder, the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves) after deducting therefrom: (a) all current liabilities, except for current maturities of long-term debt and obligations under capital leases; and (b) intangible assets, to the extent included in said aggregate amount of assets, all as set forth in the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet and computed in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the 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.

7

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the 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.

Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.02 hereof.

Section 2.02 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. No Global Note may be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes of a series will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:

(2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes of such series (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee.

Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes will be issued in such names and in any approved denominations as the Depositary will instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.06 and 2.07 of the Base Indenture. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.02 or Section 2.06 or 2.07 of the Base Indenture, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.02(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Sections 2.02(b), (c) or (g) hereof.

9

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions will be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.02(b)(1).

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.02(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

(ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee will adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.02(g) hereof.

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.

If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b)(2) hereof, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.02(g) hereof, and the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests.

10

A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.

If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to the previous paragraph at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and the Trustee will authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred.

A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note.

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.02(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder will present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a-written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder will provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.02(e).

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notice of Redemption.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 10 but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as the Trustee in its sole discretion may allow), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 4.02 of the Base Indenture. 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 the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed. Any such notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

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.

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed;

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the series of Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

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

At any time on or after the applicable Par Call Date for a series of Notes, the Company may redeem the Notes of the applicable series, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of the applicable series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes of the applicable series being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on the applicable interest payment dates of the Notes, falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes of the applicable series.

(b) 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 as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price.

(7) Mortgages created in connection with a project financed with, and created to secure, a Nonrecourse Obligation; or

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.250% per annum from the date hereof until maturity. The Company will pay interest semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the 2029 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 1, 2024. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the 2029 Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the 2029 Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2029 Notes at the close of business on the May 15 and November 15 preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such 2029 Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2029 Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of 2029 Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of the 2029 Notes; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to 2029 Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee shall be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Truist Bank, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE. This Note is one of a duly authenticated series of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of December 15, 2020 between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) (the “Prior Trustee”), as amended by the First Supplemental

The terms of the 2029 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The 2029 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of the Note will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any provision of the Note conflicts with the Second Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.

In connection with this opinion letter, we have (i) investigated such questions of law; (ii) examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company (including, without limitation, the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the global certificates evidencing the Notes in the forms executed and delivered by the Company to, and authenticated by, the Trustee, resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted on May 3, 2024, the action of pricing committee, dated May 21, 2024, and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended and restated through the date hereof), such certificates of public officials and such other documents; and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of the Company and others, in each case, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions

We have also assumed that (a) the Trustee had and continues to have the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; (b) the Second Supplemental Indenture was duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and the Indenture constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of, the Trustee enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms, and that the Trustee will comply with all of its obligations under the Indenture; (c) the Company will comply with all applicable laws; (d) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto filed on or prior to the date hereof, are and remain effective, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing its use or the use of any prospectus or prospectus supplement has been or will be issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been or will be instituted or threatened by the SEC; and (e) the Notes were issued and sold in compliance with and in the manner described in the Prospectus and were duly authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture. With your permission, all assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation or verification on our part, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, and we express no opinion with respect to the accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Notes have been validly authorized and issued by the Company and, when duly authenticated by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States of America that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions such as the offer and sale of the Notes and the issuance and delivery thereof, each as currently in effect, and no opinion is expressed with respect to such laws as subsequently amended, or any other laws, or any effect that such amended or other laws may have on the opinions expressed herein.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following:

(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium (or related judicial doctrines) and other laws now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally;
