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 December 20, 2010 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have
the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), 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), and reference is hereby
made to the Indenture 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 $500,000,000, provided that the Company may, without the consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time increase
the initial principal amount as provided in the Indenture.


 


The Securities of this series
are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail at any time on or after November 15,
2020, as a whole or, in case of Securities with a principal amount in excess of $250,000, in part, at the election of the Company,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption
Date, but interest installments that are due on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face
hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.


 


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.


 


The Indenture contains provisions
for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with
respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.


 


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 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 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 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



    	-4-



    	



    

made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
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 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.


 


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, 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 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.


 


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.


 


Interest on the principal
balance of this Security shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.


 


THIS SECURITY AND THE
INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.


 


All terms used in this Security
which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
