2. Payment of Interest

The principal of this Security shall not bear interest.

3. Discontinuance or Modification of the Index; Market Disruption Event

If NYSE Amex discontinues publication of or otherwise fails to publish the Index, and the Index Sponsor, NYSE Amex or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Security Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the discontinued Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Index”), then the Index Closing Level for such Successor Index will be determined by the Security Calculation Agent by reference to the Successor Index on the dates and at the times as of which the Index Closing Levels for such Successor Index are to be determined.

Upon any selection by the Security Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Security Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders of the Securities.

If NYSE Amex discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on the Calculation Date or any Index Business Day during the Final Measurement Period or Call Measurement Period, or on the Redemption Valuation Date, as applicable, or any other relevant date on which the Index Closing Level is to be determined and the Security Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available at such time, or the Security Calculation Agent has previously selected a Successor Index and publication of such Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Calculation Date or any Index Business Day during the Final Measurement Period or Call Measurement Period, or on the Redemption Valuation Date, as applicable, or any other relevant date on which the Index Closing Level is to be determined, then the Security Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level using the closing level and published share weighting of each Index constituent included in the Index or Successor Index, as applicable, immediately prior to such discontinuation or unavailability, as adjusted for certain corporate actions. In such event, the Security

 

(Face of Security continued on next page)

–13–


Calculation Agent will cause notice thereof to be furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders of the Securities.

If at any time the method of calculating the Index or a Successor Index, or the value thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Index or a Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the level of the Index or such Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Security Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Index or such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Security Calculation Agent will make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Security Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of an index comparable to the Index or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Security Calculation Agent will calculate the levels for the Index or such Successor Index with reference to the Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted. The Security Calculation Agent will accordingly calculate the Final Index Level, the Index Performance Ratio, the Coupon Amount, the Adjusted Coupon Amount, if any, the Reference Distribution Amount, the Stub Reference Distribution Amount, if any, the Adjusted Reference Distribution Amount, the Accrued Tracking Fee (including the Annual Tracking Fee, any Tracking Fee Shortfall and any Adjusted Tracking Fee Shortfall), the Adjusted Tracking Fee, the Redemption Fee Amount, if any, the Cash Settlement Amount, if any, that the Company will pay the Holder at maturity, the Redemption Amount, if any, upon redemption, if applicable, or the Call Settlement Amount that the Company will pay the Holder on the Call Settlement Date, if applicable, based on the relevant index levels calculated by the Security Calculation Agent, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or a Successor Index is modified so that the level of the Index or such Successor Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), which, in turn, causes the level of the Index or such Successor Index to be a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification, then the Security Calculation Agent will make such calculations and adjustments in order to arrive at a level for the Index or such Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

To the extent a Market Disruption Event with respect to the Index has occurred or is continuing on an Averaging Date or on a Redemption Valuation Date, the Index Closing Level for such Averaging Date or Redemption Valuation Date will be determined by the Security Calculation Agent or one of its affiliates on the first succeeding Index Business Day on which a Market Disruption Event does not occur or is not continuing (the “Deferred Averaging Date”) with respect to the Index irrespective of whether pursuant to such determination, the Deferred Averaging Date would fall on a date originally scheduled to be an Averaging Date. If the postponement described in the preceding sentence results in the Index Closing Level being calculated on a day originally scheduled to be an Averaging Date, for purposes of determining the Index Closing Level on the Index Business Days during the Initial Measurement Period, the Final Measurement Period or the Call Measurement Period, or on the Redemption Valuation Date, as applicable, the Security Calculation Agent or one of its affiliates, as the case may be, will apply the Index Closing Level for such Deferred Averaging Date (i) on the date(s) of the original Market Disruption Event and (ii) such Averaging Date.

In no event, however, will any postponement pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph result in the final Averaging Date or the Redemption Valuation Date, as applicable, occurring more than three Index Business Days following the day originally scheduled to be such final Averaging Date or Redemption Valuation Date. If the third Index Business Day following the date originally scheduled to be the final Averaging Date, or the Redemption Valuation Date, as applicable, is not an Index Business Day or a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing with respect to the Index on such third Index Business Day, the Security Calculation Agent or one of its affiliates will determine the Index Closing Level based on its good faith estimate of the Index Closing Level that would have prevailed on such third Index Business Day but for such Market Disruption Event.

Notwithstanding the occurrence of one or more Market Disruption Events with respect to the Index, the Security Calculation Agent in its discretion may waive its right to postpone the Index Closing Level if it determines that one or more of the Market Disruption Events has not and is not likely to materially impair its ability to determine the Index Closing Level on such date.

4. Payment at Maturity, Upon Early Redemption or on the Call Settlement Date

The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date, a Redemption Date, or the Call Settlement Date, as the case may be, shall be the cash amount that must be paid to redeem this Security as provided herein under “Payment at Maturity,” “Early Redemption,” and “Call Right,” respectively. The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable upon acceleration of the Maturity Date hereof after an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to the Indenture shall be the Default Amount. When the principal referred to in either of the two preceding sentences has been paid as provided herein (or such payment has been made available), the principal of this Security shall be deemed to have been paid in full, whether or not this Security shall have been surrendered for payment or cancellation. References to the payment at maturity, upon early redemption or call of this Security on any day shall be deemed to mean the payment of cash that is payable on such day as provided in this Security. This Security shall cease to be Outstanding as provided in the definition of such term in the Indenture when the principal of this Security shall be deemed to have been paid in full as provided above.

5. Procedure for Early Redemption

Subject to the minimum redemption amount of 50,000 Securities, the Holder may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s Securities during the term of the Securities on any Redemption Date on or after May 6, 2011 and through April 18, 2041, provided that such Holder instructs its broker or other Person through whom the Securities are held to (i) deliver a redemption notice to the Company via email no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Redemption Valuation Date; (ii) deliver the signed redemption confirmation to the Company via facsimile in the specified form by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day; (iii) instruct the Holder’s DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the Holder’s Securities on the applicable Redemption Valuation Date at a price equal to the Redemption Amount; and (iv) cause the Holder’s DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for

settlement via DTC prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Redemption Date.

6. Call Right

The Securities are subject to redemption upon not less than eighteen (18) calendar days’ prior notice on any Exchange Business Day or after April 30, 2012 through and including the Maturity Date, as a whole and not in part, at the election of the Company. If the Company elects to redeem the Securities, the Holder will receive a cash payment equal to the Call Settlement Amount on the Call Settlement Date.

7. Role of Security Calculation Agent

The Security Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for all determinations and calculations regarding the value of the Securities, including at maturity, upon early redemption or call, Market Disruption Events, the Initial Index Level, the Final Index Level, the Index Performance Ratio, the Coupon Amount, the Adjusted Coupon Amount, if any, the Reference Distribution Amount, the Stub Reference Distribution Amount, if any, the Adjusted Reference Distribution Amount, the Accrued Tracking Fee (including the Annual Tracking Fee, any Tracking Fee Shortfall and any Adjusted Tracking Fee Shortfall), the Adjusted Tracking Fee, the Redemption Fee Amount, the Cash Settlement Amount, if any, that the Company will pay the Holder at maturity, the Coupon Ex-Dates, the Coupon Record Dates, the Redemption Amount, if any, that the Company will pay the Holder upon redemption, if applicable, and the Call Settlement Amount, if any, that the Company will pay the Holder in the event that the Company calls the Securities, and whether any day is a Business Day, Index Business Day or Exchange Business Day, and all such other matters as may be specified elsewhere herein as matters to be determined by the Security Calculation Agent. The Security Calculation Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations in its sole discretion, and absent manifest error, all determinations of the Security Calculation Agent shall be final and binding on the Company, the Holder and all other Persons having an interest in this Security, without liability on the part of the Security Calculation Agent. The Holder of this Security shall not be entitled to any compensation from the Company for any loss suffered as a result of any determinations or calculations made by the Security Calculation Agent.

The Company shall take such action as shall be necessary to ensure that there is, at all relevant times, a financial institution serving as the Security Calculation Agent hereunder.

The Company may, in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, upon written notice to the Trustee, but without notice to the Holder of this Security, terminate the appointment of any Person serving as the Security Calculation Agent and appoint another Person (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as the Security Calculation Agent. Insofar as this Security provides for the Security Calculation Agent to determine the matters specified in the second preceding paragraph and all such other matters as may be specified elsewhere herein as matters to be determined by the Security Calculation Agent, the Security Calculation Agent may do so from any source or sources of the kind contemplated or otherwise permitted hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such sources are the

Security Calculation Agent, affiliates of the Security Calculation Agent or affiliates of the Company.

8. Tax Characterization

By its purchase of this Security, the Holder, on behalf of itself and any other Person having a beneficial interest in this Security, hereby agrees with the Company (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat this Security for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as a pre-paid forward contract with respect to the Index.

9. Payment

Payment of any amount payable on this Security will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payment will be made to an account designated by the Holder (in writing to the Company and the Trustee on or before the Call Valuation Date, the Redemption Valuation Date or Calculation Date) and acceptable to the Company or, if no such account is designated and acceptable as aforesaid, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, provided, however, that payment on the Maturity Date, Call Settlement Date, or any Redemption Date shall be made only upon surrender of this Security at such office or agency (unless the Company waives surrender). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Security is a Global Security, any payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary as permitted in said Indenture.

All dollar amounts related to determination of the Coupon Amount, the Adjusted Coupon Amount, if any, the Reference Distribution Amount, the Stub Reference Distribution Amount, if any, the Adjusted Reference Distribution Amount, the Accrued Tracking Fee (including the Annual Tracking Fee, any Tracking Fee Shortfall and any Adjusted Tracking Fee Shortfall), the Adjusted Tracking Fee, the Redemption Amount and Redemption Fee Amount, if any, per Security, the Call Settlement Amount, if any, per Security, and the Cash Settlement Amount, if any, per Security, will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of Securities per holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

10. Reverse of this Security

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

11. Certificate of Authentication

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(Reverse of Security)

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of November 21, 2000, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2006 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth on the face of this Security, the latter shall control for purposes of this Security.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $100,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof.

Payments under the Securities will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge (“Taxes”) imposed upon or as a result of such payments by Switzerland or any jurisdiction in which a branch of the Company through which the Securities are issued is located (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless required by law. To the extent any such Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in Section 1007 of the Indenture, pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the Holder of any Security who is not a resident of the Relevant Jurisdiction as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of such Security and any other amounts payable on such Security, after withholding for or on account of such Taxes imposed upon or as a result of such payment, will not be less than the amount provided for in such Security to be then due and payable.

In addition to its ability to redeem this Security pursuant to the foregoing, if at any time as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction affecting taxation, or a change in any application or interpretation of such laws or regulations (including the decision of any court or tribunal) either generally or in relation to any particular Securities, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after the Initial Trade Date in making any payment of, or in respect of, the principal amount of the Securities, the Company would be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, then the Securities will be redeemable upon not less than ten nor more

than sixty days’ notice by mail, at any time thereafter, in whole but not in part, at the election of the Company as provided in the Indenture at a redemption price determined by the Security Calculation Agent in a manner reasonably calculated to preserve the relative economic position of the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of this Security as herein provided.

 

(Reverse of Security continued on next page)


As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of this Security is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

This Security, and any other Securities of this series and of like tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of any multiple of $25.00. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security is a Global Security and is subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to Global Securities, including the limitations in Section 305 thereof on transfers and exchanges of Global Securities.

This Security and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
