hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as the nominee
of The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the principal sum of                                                             
DOLLARS AND                      CENTS ($                                        ) on February 1, 2016 and to pay
interest thereon from November 23, 2010 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 in each year

thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, however, that in
case this Security is held by a Depository or its nominee, payment of principal, interest and
premium, if any, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by such Depository.



     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse

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, dated as of May
18, 2009 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, NA, as trustee
(herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including as supplemented by an
Officers’ Certificate pursuant 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.



     The Company may redeem some or all of the Securities of this series upon not less than 30
days’ notice by mail, at any time and from time to time prior to their maturity, at the election of
the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of a) 100% of the principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding to be redeemed; or b) 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 Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption
Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 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.



     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.



     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 more than 50% 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



4









 




exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.




     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the
Company on this Security upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein,
which provisions apply to this Security.



     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall, without the consent of the Holder, alter or impair the right of the Holder, which is
absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of principal of and any premium and interest on this
Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, except for
Section 113 of the Indenture (which limits interest to the maximum amount permissible by law), the
provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference.



     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 his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, 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 integral multiples 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 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.



     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture (including as may be supplemented by an Officers’ Certificate).
