REVERSE OF BOND



          This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds of the Company known as its “1.125%
Collateral Trust Bonds due 2013”, issued and to be issued in one or more series under, and all
equally and ratably secured (except as any sinking or other fund may afford additional special
security for the Bonds of any particular series) by, an Indenture dated as of October 25, 2007 (as
amended, supplemented and modified and in effect from time to time, the “Indenture”), executed by
the Company to U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made
for a description of the nature and extent of the securities and other property assigned, pledged,
transferred and mortgaged thereunder the rights of the Holders of said Bonds and of the Trustee and
of the Company in respect of such security, and the terms upon which said Bonds are to be
authenticated and delivered.


          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
Bonds under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding as defined in
the Indenture. The Indenture also permits, without the consent of the holders of any Bonds, the
parties to any Mortgage Notes pledged under the Indenture, and any Mortgages or Loan Agreements
pursuant to which they were issued, to modify, alter, supplement or amend such Mortgage Notes,
Mortgages and Loan Agreements, so long as thereafter such Mortgage will comply with the
requirements of the Company’s standard lending practices, as such policies may be amended from time
to time. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in
principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Bonds, to
waive compliance by



 









 








the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond
shall be binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
action is made upon this Bond.



          As provided in the Indenture, said Bonds are issuable in series which may vary as in said
Indenture provided or permitted. This Bond is one of a series entitled 1.125% Collateral Trust
Bonds due 2013.


          The Company may redeem the Bonds in whole or in part at any time, at a “make-whole” redemption
price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount being redeemed or (2) the sum of the
present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest (other than
accrued interest) on the Bonds being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10
basis points for the Bonds, plus in each of (1) and (2) above, accrued interest to the redemption
date.


          If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Bonds, and such Bonds are at the time
represented by a global security, then the depositary will select by lot the particular interest to
be redeemed. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Bonds, and such Bonds are not
represented by a global security, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee from the outstanding Bonds not previously called for redemption, in a manner the Trustee
deems appropriate and fair.


          Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
date of redemption to each holder of the Bonds to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption,



 









 








interest will cease to accrue on such Bonds or the portions called for redemption.



          If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal of this Bond
may become or be declared due and payable immediately, in the manner and with the effect provided
in the Indenture.


          This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by attorney authorized
in writing at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of
New York or any other place or places where such Bond may be paid, upon surrender of this Bond, and
upon any such transfer a new Bond for the same series, for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.


          The Bonds of this series are issuable only as registered Bonds without coupons in minimum
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in, and
subject to the provisions of, the Indenture, Bonds of this series are exchangeable for other Bonds
of this series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.


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


          Prior to due presentment for transfer at any office or agency of the Company designated for
such purpose, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving
payment as herein provided and for all other purposes whether or not this Bond be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



 









 







          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Bond 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 Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed.


          The following terms shall have the following meanings:


          “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day
on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York are
authorized by law to close.


          “Comparable Treasury Issue’’ means the United States Treasury security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds
being 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 Bonds.


          “Comparable Treasury Price’’ means with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, or (B) if the Company obtains
fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations obtained.


          “Independent Investment Banker’’ means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the
trustee after consultation with the Company.


          “Reference Treasury Dealer’’ means (1) each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated (as successor in interest to Banc of America Securities LLC), J.P. Morgan Securities
LLC and Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any
of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the



 









 








United States, the Company
will appoint another primary U.S. Government securities dealer as a substitute and (2) any other
U.S. Government securities dealers selected by the Company.



          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations’’ means, for each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and ask prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted
in writing to the Trustee by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the
third business day preceding the redemption date for the bonds being redeemed.


          “Treasury Rate’’ means, for any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity 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.


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