 Reverse of Note 

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 a Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of July 3, 1995, as supplemented or modified by supplement dated December 17, 1997 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 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 limited in aggregate principal amount to $400,000,000. 
 The Securities of this series will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the
principal amount of such notes being redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon from the redemption date to October 15, 2015, 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, plus, in either case, any interest accrued but not paid to the date of redemption. 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Securities
to be redeemed. 
 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest
will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 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. 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. Set forth
below are defined terms used herein: 
 “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 Securities 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 Securities. 







 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with
respect to any redemption date for the Securities, (i) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
average of all such quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and UBS Securities LLC and one additional Primary Treasury Dealer. If any Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a primary U. S. Government Securities dealer in the United States (each, a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”) the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “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 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Securities, (i) 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 (if no maturity is within three months before or after
the Maturity Date, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis,
rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such 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 semi-annual equivalent yield
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 such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be
calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any
time of (a) the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants, in each case upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 







 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 Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities of each series 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. 
 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. 
 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 is payable, 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. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral
multiple of $1,000 in addition thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like
tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be
made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

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 hereof for all purposes, whether or not this 







 
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
