[Reverse of Security]




     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 (the “Base
Indenture”), dated as of February 8, 2001, between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company,
National Association (formerly known as Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (herein called
the “Original Trustee”), which term includes any successor trustee, as supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 13, 2005, among the Company, the Original Trustee and
The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as Series Trustee (herein called the “Series
Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee, and, together with the Original Trustee, the
“Trustees”; the Base Indenture as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall
have the meaning assigned to it in the Base Indenture). 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 Trustees 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 $300,000,000.



     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ and not
more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the
Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such
Securities then outstanding to be redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any
portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of
redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at
the applicable Treasury Rate plus 12.5 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date, but interest installments
whose Stated Maturity is 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.



     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date: (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 U.S. 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 remaining life (as defined below),
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the comparable treasury issue
will be determined and the treasury rate will 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 semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable
treasury issue, calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue



4









 




(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for
such redemption date. The treasury rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the
date fixed for redemption.




     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an independent
investment banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“remaining life”) of the
Securities of this series 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.



     “Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of the reference treasury dealer
quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury
dealer quotations, or (2) if the independent investment banker obtains fewer than four such
reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.



     “Independent Investment Banker” means either J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America
Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or Wachovia Capital
Markets, LLC, as specified by the Company, or, if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the
comparable treasury issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing
appointed by the Company.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities
LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., and at least one other primary
U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City selected by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, and
their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a
primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the
Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury
Dealer selected by the Company after consultation with the independent investment banker.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the independent investment banker, of the
bid and ask prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the independent investment banker at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.



     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 (i) the entire indebtedness of
this Security or (ii) 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.



5









 





     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 either
or both of the Trustees, as the case may be, 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 Series 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 Series
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Series Trustee and offered
the Series Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Series 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.



6









 





     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple 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
Trustees and any agent of the Company or the Original Trustee or the Series Trustee, as the case
may be, 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 Trustees nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



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