(as successor to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 2007, between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and as further amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”) (in its capacity as trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., being herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, such series being limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000; provided, however, that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities of this series, issue additional Securities with the same terms as the Securities of this series, and such additional Securities shall be considered part of the same series under the Indenture as the Securities of this series.

This Security is issuable only in registered form in denominations of $2,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000.

The Securities of this series shall not be entitled to any sinking fund.

Optional Redemption

The Securities of this series are redeemable on at least 10 days’, but no more than 45 days’, prior written notice mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed, either in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to July 15, 2051 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Securities of this series, the “Par Call Date”), at a Redemption Price for the Securities to be redeemed on any Redemption Date equal to the greater of the following amounts:

• 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the Redemption Date; or

5

• the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest that would have been payable if the Securities being redeemed on that Redemption Date matured on the Par Call Date (excluding interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Any redemption of the Securities of this series may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. Any related written notice of redemption will describe the conditions precedent and, at the Company’s discretion, will indicate that any Redemption Date may be delayed or the written notice rescinded if all such conditions precedent shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Company.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue.  In determining this rate, the price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) shall be assumed to be equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series 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 comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.

“Independent Investment Banker” means any of Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Quotation Agent after consultation with the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), another primary treasury dealer shall be substituted therefor by the Company.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (A) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

6

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or their respective successors and any other primary treasury dealer selected by the Quotation Agent after consultation with the Company.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Security of this series, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Security, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon shall be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

“Quotation Agent” means, for purposes of determining the Redemption Price, a primary treasury dealer as may be selected by the Company.

In addition, the Company may redeem all or part of the Securities of this series, on at least 10 days’, but no more than 45 days’, prior written notice mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed, at any time or from time to time on and after the Par Call Date, at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

A partial redemption of the Securities of this series may be effected by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of the Securities of this series equal to an authorized denomination.

For the avoidance of doubt, notice of any redemption shall be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) at least 10 days but not more than 45 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities of this series to be redeemed.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities of this series or portions thereof called for redemption.

Change of Control Offer

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Securities of this series, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Securities of this series to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer the Change of Control Payment. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to Holders of the Securities of this series describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, this Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed hereto) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:

(ii)            the principal amount of this Security;

(iii)           the principal amount of this Security to be repurchased;

(iv)          the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this Security;

(vi)          a guarantee that this Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of this Security, but in that event the principal amount of this Security remaining outstanding after repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

8

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

(i) accept for payment all Securities of this series or portions of such Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities of this series or portions of such Securities properly tendered; and

In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Securities of this series if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of any such conflict.

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