[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, designated as its 2.350% Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”).  The Securities, including the Notes, are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture, and all Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates as provided therein, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  The Notes are initially limited to seven hundred fifty million Dollars ($750,000,000) aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes other than the date of original issuance and the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and such Securities shall be treated as a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.
This Note shall constitute part of the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  This Note shall be issuable in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) and any integral multiples of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess of that amount.
In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to this Note, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.  The Indenture permits the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, waive certain past defaults and rescind and annul such past declarations and their consequences under the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to the Indenture or this Note, without the consent of the Holders of each Note so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.


    


    







The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption,  sinking fund or analogous provisions.
Upon such notice as specified below and in accordance with the Indenture, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company at any time or from time to time, on a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”) and at a “redemption price” equal to the greater of the following amounts:
		
	(i)
	100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on such Redemption Date; and


		
	(ii)
	the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes being redeemed on such Redemption Date (not including the amount, if any, of unpaid interest accrued to, but excluding, such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 0.075% (or 7.5 basis points);


plus, in each case, unpaid interest accrued on such Notes to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.    
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on each Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder(s) as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.
The Company shall mail notice of each redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.  Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable redemption price.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, 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 such Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, for the Notes, the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of such 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 comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date and the Notes to be redeemed, (A) if the Company obtains five or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date and Notes, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer 


    


    







Quotations after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (B) if the Company obtains fewer than five but more than one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation(s), the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if the Company obtains only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.  Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date and the Notes to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Notes (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.  (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
On and after any Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price therefor).  Before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date.  If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, then the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Security.
The Notes are subject to the defeasance provisions set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.
The Company shall not pay any additional amounts on any of the Notes to any person, including any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture or of any Board Resolution shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times and places and at the rate and in the coin and currency herein prescribed.
This Note is transferable by the Holder hereof in person or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in The City of New York, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may 


    


    







require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note.  Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or authorized denominations and like tenor and terms, and in the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.
The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon as herein provided and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or any Board Resolution, against any Person other than the Company or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or any other Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note, expressly waived and released.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities (the “Securities”) of the Company, designated as its 3.100% Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”).  The Securities, including the Notes, are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture, and all Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates as provided therein, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  The Notes are initially limited to seven hundred fifty million Dollars ($750,000,000) aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the Company may at any time issue additional Securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes other than the date of original issuance and the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and such Securities shall be treated as a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.
This Note shall constitute part of the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  This Note shall be issuable in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) and any integral multiples of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) in excess of that amount.
In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to this Note, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.  The Indenture permits the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes and in the manner and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, waive certain past defaults and rescind and annul such past declarations and their consequences under the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to the Indenture or this Note, without the consent of the Holders of each Note so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.


    


    







The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption,  sinking fund or analogous provisions.
Upon such notice as specified below and in accordance with the Indenture, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company at any time or from time to time, on a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”) prior to the Par Call Date and at a “redemption price” equal to the greater of the following amounts:
		
	(i)
	100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on such Redemption Date; and


		
	(ii)
	the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes being redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the Par Call Date (not including the amount, if any, of unpaid interest accrued to, but excluding, such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 0.125% (or 12.5 basis points);


plus, in each case, unpaid interest accrued on such Notes to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.  If the Company redeems all or any part of the Notes on or after the Par Call Date, it shall pay a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on each Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder(s) as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.
The Company shall mail notice of each redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.  Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable redemption price.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes prior to the Par Call 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 such Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, for the Notes, the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of such Notes to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) 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 Notes.


    


    







“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date and the Notes to be redeemed, (A) if the Company obtains five or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date and Notes, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (B) if the Company obtains fewer than five but more than one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation(s), the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if the Company obtains only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.
“Par Call Date” means February 15, 2027.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.  Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date prior to the Par Call Date and the Notes to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Notes (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.  (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
On and after any Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price therefor).  Before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date.  If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, then the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Security.
The Notes are subject to the defeasance provisions set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.
The Company shall not pay any additional amounts on any of the Notes to any person, including any Holder who is not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture or of any Board Resolution shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times and places and at the rate and in the coin and currency herein prescribed.


    


    







This Note is transferable by the Holder hereof in person or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in The City of New York, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note.  Upon any registration of transfer, a new registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or authorized denominations and like tenor and terms, and in the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.
The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon as herein provided and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or any Board Resolution, against any Person other than the Company or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or any other Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note, expressly waived and released.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
