(c)          Additional Issues. The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the 2.875% 2020 Notes, create and issue additional 2.875% 2020 Notes. Any such additional 2.875% 2020 Notes will rank equally and ratably with the 2.875% 2020 Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the 2.875% 2020 Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional 2.875% 2020 Notes. Any such additional 2.875% 2020 Notes, together with the 2.875% 2020 Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the 2.875% 2020 Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the 2.875% 2020 Notes herein provided for.

If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment on that day will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date to the date of payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

(iv)        In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in definitive form prior to the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this section (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Note to the effect that such transfer is being made to a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Restricted Period. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, the transferee must, at the request of the Company, deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2020, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
B-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
B-7

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
B-8

Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
 
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to October 15, 2020, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
C-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
C-7

“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
C-8

Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
 
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to February 19, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:

D-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
D-7

“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
D-8

Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
 
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
E-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.

Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2022, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
F-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
F-7

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
F-8

Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2022, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
G-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
G-7

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
G-8

Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
 
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to January 15, 2023 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
H-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 12.5 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
H-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
H-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to January 20, 2023 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
I-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
I-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
I-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2023, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
J-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
J-7

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
J-8

Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
 
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to February 15, 2024 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
K-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
K-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
K-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to May 15, 2025 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
L-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
L-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
L-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2027 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
M-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
M-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.

M-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.

This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to November 20, 2027 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
N-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
N-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to October 15, 2040, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
O-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
O-7

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2043, the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
P-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
P-7

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
P-8

Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
 
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Q-5

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to November 15, 2043 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
Q-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
Q-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
Q-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to February 15, 2045 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
R-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
R-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
R-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to May 15, 2047 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
S-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
S-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
S-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

REVERSE OF NOTE
 
This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company, of the series specified on the face hereof, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
Registrar and Paying Agent
 
The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
At any time prior to August 20, 2047 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time (the “Redemption Date”) at the Company’s option in whole or from time to time in part upon mailed notice to the registered address of the Holder at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
 
T-6

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or
 
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points;
 
plus, in each of the cases (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.
 
In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption.
 
Notice of any redemption of the Notes shall be given in the manner provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price shall state the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date. Any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in such notice.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company is given fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
“Reference Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the City of New York, and their respective successors plus one other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 
T-7

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by the Reference Treasury Dealers at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the Redemption Date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Notes will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Notes to the Redemption Date.
 
“Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, with respect to the Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
 
At or prior to the time of giving any notice of redemption to the Holders of any Notes to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the Redemption Price as so calculated and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate.
 
Additional Issues
 
The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes. Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes and will have the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes herein provided for, except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes herein provided for and any Exchange Notes issued with respect to the Notes in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be fungible with the Notes herein provided for. Any additional Notes may be issued by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or a supplement to the Indenture.
 
Notes in Definitive Form
 
If (1) the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of notice thereof, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (3) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities, the Company may issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for Notes issued in the form of Global Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by this Note, equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name as shall be established in a Company Order.
 
T-8

Sinking Fund
 
The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Default
 
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Miscellaneous
 
Any money that the Company deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to the Company upon the Company’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect only from the Company.
 
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 any premium and any interest on, this Note at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or provisions with respect to the Notes.
 
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York, designated for such purpose by the Company (on the date hereof, the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, NY 10286), and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
