[Reverse Side of Note]




1. General.





     This Security is one of the duly authorized issue of debt securities of the Company
(hereinafter called the “Securities”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 31, 1995, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture
dated as of August 4, 2008 (collectively, together with any applicable subsequent amendments or
supplements, herein called the “Indenture”; capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall
have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Indenture), between the Company and The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as
successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank) 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 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, which series is unlimited in amount. After giving
effect to the issuance of Securities of such series on the date of the Supplemental Indenture,
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series were issued and outstanding.



     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 any interest on, this Security at the place, rate and
respective times and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.



2. Redemption.




     The Securities are subject to redemption, as a whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values, calculated
as of the Redemption Date, of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the
Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the
Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the then current Treasury Rate (as defined in the Indenture) plus 50 basis points, plus, in each
case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.



     Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed. 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 cancellation hereof.



 









 





3. Change of Control Offer.




     If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to
redeem the Securities as described above, the Company will be required to make a Change of Control
Offer to each Holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities. In the Change of
Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but
after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of
Control, a notice will be mailed to the Holders of the Securities describing the transaction that
constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the
Securities on the Change of Control 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. The notice
will, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to
purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the
Change of Control Payment Date.



4. Indenture.




     The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.C. §§
77aaa-77bbbb), as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject
to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those
terms. The Securities issued under the Indenture are senior unsecured obligations of the Company
and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured
indebtedness.



5. Paying Agent and Security Registrar.




     The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or
agency where the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an
office or agency where the Securities may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company
has initially appointed the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as its Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the
appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents
or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent
or Security Registrar acts.



6. Default.




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



7. Sinking Fund.




     The Securities will not be subject to any sinking fund.



 









 





8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange




     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registerable 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, 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 such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more 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 are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000
and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess 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.



9. Persons Deemed Owners.




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



10. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.




     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 each series to be affected. 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 hereof or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.



11. Proceedings.




     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 with
respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding 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 principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding 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 interest hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.




12. Governing Law.




     The Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles of such state that would require
the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
