Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any

 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 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 an Indenture dated as of August 1, 2001
(herein, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase
Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, including Supplemental Indenture No.     
thereto, for a statement of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security, the conditions upon which the Lien of the Indenture may be released and 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. The acceptance of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent

like tenor representing the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 If
any Interest Payment Date, [Redemption Date] or the Stated Maturity shall not be a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), payments of the amounts due on this Security on such date may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and, if such payment
is made or duly provided for on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on such amounts for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, [Redemption Date] or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.

percentages in principal amount of the Securities of all series affected at the time Outstanding, 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 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, the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 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 or any premium or interest hereon 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 and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.]
