annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this

respect to the delay. If the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date.

debts. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall
for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by

 [Reverse of the Notes] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), designated as its 2.300% Notes
due 2019, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2006, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2007, the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
December 3, 2010, and the Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 16, 2014 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank
of New York Mellon, 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
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series
designated on the face hereof. 
 The Notes of this series are subject to redemption at any time, in whole or in part, at the election of
the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice given as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to (A) in the case of a Redemption Date prior to June 16, 2019, the greater of (i) 100% of the
principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of 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 Adjusted Treasury Rate
plus 10 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; or (B) in the case of a Redemption Date on or after June 16, 2019, 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to,
but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 The definitions of certain terms used in the paragraph above are listed below. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the Notes 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 the Notes. 

  
 -11- 








 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of
the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date. 
 “Quotation Agent” means AIG Markets, Inc. or any other firm
appointed by the Company, acting as quotation agent for the Notes. Any successor or substitute Quotation Agent may be an Affiliate of the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of (a) a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by U.S. Bancorp
Investments, Inc. and (b) each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or the respective successor of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that if any of the
foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Person that is a Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other
Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Quotation Agent after consultation with the Company.

Quotations” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage
of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

In the event of redemption of the Notes in part only, a new Note or Notes 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 Notes of this series do not have the benefit of any
sinking fund obligation and are not subject to repurchase at the option of the Holders. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance
at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes 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


  
 -12- 








 
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 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note
and of any Note 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 Note. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note 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 Notes of
this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes 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 Notes 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 Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
premium, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no
provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this Note 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
Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this Note 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 Notes 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 Notes of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 -13- 








 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 Note 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 Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note
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
Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.
