mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

 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 September 30, 1993 (herein, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 25, 2007 between the Company and the
Trustee (as defined below), and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 15, 2008 between the Company and the Trustee, called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as
successor in interest to J. P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (formerly Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association, as successor to PNC Bank, National Association), as Trustee (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, initially issued in the aggregate
principal amount of (U.S.) $750,000,000. 
 The Securities of this series are subject to redemption, as a whole or in part, at the option of
the Company, at any time or from time to time, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice to the Holders of the Securities of this series given as described below, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	•	 	 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date; or 


  

	 	•	 	 the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, as defined below, discounted, on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months, at the Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 45 basis points, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption which has not been paid. 


 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date: 
  

	 	•	 	 the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release
designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant
maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for this Security, yields for
the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month; or



  

	 	•	 	 if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal
to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that
redemption date. 


 The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

 “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 this Security 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 this Security. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means
one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, to be appointed by the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any
redemption date for this Security: 
  

	 	•	 	 the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations; or 


  

	 	•	 	 if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained by the Trustee. 


 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as
determined by the Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Banc of America
Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Lehman Brothers Inc., and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, which is
referred to herein as a “Primary Treasury Dealer,” the Company will substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Security to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof
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 succeeding
scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date. 
 In the
event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 Notice of redemption will be given by mail to Holders of Securities of this series, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right
to redeem this Security as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of Securities of this series to repurchase all or any part (in denominations of U.S. $2,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess
thereof) of that Holder’s Securities of this series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of this series
repurchased to, but not 

  

 5 








 
including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of
Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control
Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Securities of this series on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be
required by law. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in
the notice. Holders of Securities of this series electing to have Securities of this series purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Repurchase Event offer, will be required to surrender their Securities of this series, with the form entitled
“Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Securities of this series to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to
the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the repurchase payment date. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under 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 Repurchase Event. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to
have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of such conflict. 
 On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 
  

	 	(1)	accept for payment all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered pursuant to its offer; 

  

	 	(2)	deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered;
and 

  

	 	(3)	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this series properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series being purchased by the Company. 

 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of
Securities of this series properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities of this series, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Security of this series equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities of this series surrendered; provided that each new Security of this series will be in a minimum principal amount of U.S. $2,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof.

 The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities of this series upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if
a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities of this series properly tendered and not withdrawn under
its offer.

 For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of Holders, the following
definitions are applicable: 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 
  

	 	(1)	the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of its subsidiaries;


  

	 	(2)	the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company or other
Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed measured by voting power rather than number of shares; 

  

	 	(3)	the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or any person consolidates with,
or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any
such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person immediately after
giving effect to such transaction; 

  

	 	(4)	the first day on which the majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company cease to be Continuing Directors; or 

  

	 	(5)	the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(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. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the Securities of this series cease to be rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating

Period”) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control; or (2) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control. Unless at least two of the three
Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Securities of this series at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Securities of this series will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies
during the Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Repurchase Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been
consummated.

Directors of the Company who: 
  

	 	(1)	was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the closing of the offering of the Securities of this series; or 

  

	 	(2)	was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors

control, the Company may select (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, as a
replacement agency for Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be, that is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee under the Indenture. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.

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 set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Security of this series will have any right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit
instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on this Security 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 premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place(s) and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 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 and any premium and interest on this Security are payable or, subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto and to the right of the Company (limited as provided in the Indenture) to rescind the designation of any such transfer agent, at the main offices of the Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and in or at such other offices or agencies as the
Company may designate, 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, and 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.

 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
