case of the 2030 Notes and October 15, 2049 (six months before the maturity date of the 2050 Notes) in the case of the 2050 Notes, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes of the applicable series, at its option, at a Redemption Price equal
to the greater of:
  

●     100% of the principal amount of the Notes
of the series then outstanding to be redeemed; or

 

●     the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes of the series to be redeemed that would be due after the redemption date if the Notes to be redeemed matured on the applicable Par Call Date (not including any portion of such
payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) 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 50 basis points in the case of the 2030
Notes and 50 basis points in the case of the 2050 Notes;

 

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not
including, the Redemption Date.
  

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date: (1) the rate per
annum equal to the yield, under the heading that 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 that


 
  




-
2
 - 

  


  
 
	 	 	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 such rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearer month); or (2) 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 (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 of the Notes to be redeemed (“remaining life”) 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 Notes (assuming, for this purpose, that such notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date).
  

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of six 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 six such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that
the Company appoints to act as the independent investment banker from time to time.

 
 “Par Call Date” means, with respect to the 2030 notes, January 15, 2030; or, with respect to the 2050 notes, October 15, 2049.

 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities 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 the United States (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer
and (2) two other primary treasury dealers 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 asked 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.
  
 Notice of any
redemption will be mailed first-class, postage-prepaid at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of the Notes of the series to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on
and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by
the trustee or by such other method as the trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of

 - 

  


  
 
	 	 	the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note.
  
 At any time on or
after January 15, 2030 (three months before the maturity date of the 2030 Notes), in the case of the 2030 Notes, and October 15, 2049 (six months before the maturity date of the 2050 Notes), in the case of the 2050 Notes, the Company may redeem some
or all of the Notes of the applicable series, at its option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not
including, the Redemption Date.

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.

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
