 In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date. The interest so

the March 15 or September 15, whether or not a Business Day (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”), immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, except that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the Person to
whom principal shall be paid. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a 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 other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture referred to herein. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. 
 Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest at Maturity on this
Security shall be made upon presentation of this Security at the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon in New York, New York, or at such other office or agency as may be designated for such purpose by the Company from time to time,

check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, provided that if such Person is a securities depositary, such payment may be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be
agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee and such Person. 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
(herein called the “Securities”), issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2010 (herein called the “Original Indenture” and, together with any amendments or supplements thereto and
the Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of the Securities of this series, the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Original Indenture), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, 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. 4 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 by the Holder hereof shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by
such Holder to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. 
 Prior
to the Par Call Date (defined below), this Security is subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

	 	(b)	 as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount of this Security to be so redeemed that would be due if the Stated Maturity Date for this Security were the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of
redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 25
basis points, 


 plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. 

Promptly after the calculation thereof, the Company shall give the Trustee written notice of the redemption price for the foregoing
redemption. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any such calculation.

redemption at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Security to be so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and

Dealer and any redemption date, the 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), as provided to the Quotation Agent by
that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

redemption shall be given by mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption at the election of
the Company as aforesaid may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the applicable Paying Agent or Agents of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, on this Security on or prior to the
date fixed for such redemption; a notice of redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money is not so received and, in such event, the Company shall not be required to redeem this Security. 

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series of like tenor representing the
unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 If an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified 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

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.

aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series and Tranche are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series and Tranche of any authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same, and of like tenor upon surrender of the Security or Securities to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company for such purpose.

cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) Securities of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of this series

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
