pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company, issued or issuable under and pursuant to, the Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2005 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the
Company, as Issuer, and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which this Note is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those
stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or
are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern. 
 All capitalized
terms which are used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 The Company may, without the
consent of the Holders, create and issue additional Securities ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise identical in all respects (except for their date of issue, issue price and the date from which interest payments thereon shall accrue) so
that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes; provided, however, that no additional Securities of any existing or new series may be issued under the Indenture if an Event of Default has
occurred and remains uncured thereunder. 
 2. Ranking. The Notes shall constitute the senior unsecured debt obligations of the
Company and shall rank equally in right of payment among themselves and with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company. 
 3. Payment of Overdue Amounts. The Company shall pay interest, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the period and a year of 365 days, on overdue principal and overdue installments of
interest, if any, from time to time, on demand at the interest rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. 
 4. Payment of Additional
Amounts; Redemption Upon a Tax Event. 
 (a) Payment of Additional Amounts. The Company shall pay to the holder (including, for

deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon such holder by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein, will not be less than 









 2 
  

 
the amount provided in this Note to be then due and payable (such amounts, the “Additional Amounts”); provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of: 
 (i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge
that would not have been imposed but for (A) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such
holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, and the United States including, without limitation, such holder, or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having been a citizen or resident of the
United States or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in trade or business or present in the United States, or (B) the presentation of this Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of (x) the
date on which such payment becomes due and payable and (y) the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for;

company or foreign personal holding company with respect to the United States, or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; 
 (iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of or interest on this Note; 
 (v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on this Note
if such payment can be made without withholding by any other paying agent; 
 (vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which
would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of the holder, if such
compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the U.S. Treasury Department as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
 (vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on interest received by (A) a 10% shareholder (as defined in Section 871(h)(3)(B)
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations that may be promulgated thereunder) of the Company or (B) a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the Company within the meaning of the
Code; 
 (viii) any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to that
European Union Directive relating to the taxation of savings adopted on June 3, 2003 by the European Union’s Economic and Financial 









 3 
  

 
Affairs Council, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or 
 (ix) any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) in this Section 4(a); 
 nor shall any Additional Amounts be paid to any holder who is a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, or a
member of such partnership or a beneficial owner thereof, would not have been entitled to the payment of such Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder. 
 The term “Non-U.S. Person” means any corporation, partnership, individual or fiduciary that is, as to the United States, a foreign corporation,
a non-resident alien individual who has not made a valid election to be treated as a United States resident, a non-resident fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, as to the United
States, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust. 
 (b) Redemption

 The notice of redemption regarding the Notes shall be, at the election of the Company, given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

except if the Tax Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, accrued but unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed on the Tax Redemption Date.

 If the Notes, having been called for
redemption, shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Tax Redemption Date at the interest rate borne by this Note.

modification of the Indenture and the Notes without the consent of the Holders in certain circumstances and requiring the consent of Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and Securities of other series that

manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, in the event of such an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all of the
Notes of this series then Outstanding, voting as a separate class, in accordance with the provisions of, and in the circumstances provided by, the Indenture, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences with respect to all of the
Notes.

Chase Nominees Limited, as nominee of the Common Depositary (including its respective successors) under the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued in certificated form (each, a “Definitive Note”) only in the following limited circumstances:

applicable law, and a successor Common Depositary is not appointed by the Company or a successor clearing agency satisfactory to the Company is not established within 90 days after the

Definitive Notes; or (3) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, in each such case this Note shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes in an equal aggregate principal amount. Such Definitive Notes shall be
registered in such name or names as the Common Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. 
 12. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the transfer and exchange of the Notes, whether in global or definitive form. At the option of the

except for any transfer tax or other governmental charges imposed in connection therewith subject to Section 4 hereof, the Notes may be transferred or exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of the Notes of like tenor and of other
authorized denominations upon surrender and cancellation of the Notes upon any such transfer. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or of the Trustee may deem and treat the holder as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not the Notes shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payments
hereon, or on account hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments made to or upon the order of such
holder shall, to the extent of the amount or amounts paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 12, any registration of transfer or exchange of a Global Note shall be subject to the terms of the legend appearing on the initial page thereof. 
 13. No Recourse Against Others. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company arising under or set forth in the
Notes or under the Indenture, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation,
