Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth
Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture and the
Seventh Supplemental Indenture and with all additional indentures supplemental thereto, and any
constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly The
Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a
description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds
are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is a Bond within the meaning of
the Indenture and is one of the Bonds of the twenty-eighth series designated as the Floating Rate
Senior Note Due June 10, 2010 established by the Company under the Indenture. The acceptance of
this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to
all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture.



     The interest rate on the Senior Notes will be reset quarterly on September 10, 2009, December
10, 2009 and March 10, 2010 (each, an “Interest Reset Date”). The Senior Notes will bear interest
at a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR (as defined below) for the applicable Interest Reset
Period or Initial Interest Period (each as defined below) plus 0.95% (95 basis points). The
interest rate for the Initial Interest Period will be three-month LIBOR, determined as of two
London Business Days prior to the Original Issue Date, plus 0.95% (95 basis points) per annum.



     The “Initial Interest Period” will be the period from and including the Original Issue Date to
but excluding the initial Interest Reset Date. Thereafter, each “Interest Reset Period” will be the
period from and including an Interest Reset Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding
Interest Reset Date; provided that the final Interest Reset Period for the Senior Notes will be the
period from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date of such
Senior Notes to but excluding the Maturity Date.



     If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest
Reset Date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a Business Day,



A-6









 







except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the Interest
Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.



     The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the
interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately
preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if that day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest
rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent
Interest Reset Date or the Original Issue Date, as the case may be.



     The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest
Reset Date, or the Original Issue Date in the case of the Initial Interest Period, will be the rate
determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date. The “Interest Determination Date” will
be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the Original Issue Date, in the case of the
initial Interest Reset Period, or thereafter the applicable Interest Reset Date. With respect to
any Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine three-month LIBOR in
accordance with the following provisions:



     (i) LIBOR is the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the 3-month period which appears on
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the
applicable Interest Determination Date. “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated
on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters Screen (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that
service, any successor service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British
Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar
deposits). If no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR for such Interest Determination
Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) below.



     (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen
LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, the
Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks
(which may include affiliates of the underwriters) in the London interbank market selected by the
Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) to provide the Calculation Agent with a
quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing
on the second London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, are
offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London
time, on such Interest Determination Date in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than
U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at
least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two
quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of
the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination
Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected by the
Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in U.S. dollars to leading
European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the second London Business Day
immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount
of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at
such time;

provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting such rates as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will
be LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date.




     All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Senior Notes will
be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be
rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655), and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with
one-half cent being rounded upward.



     Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Company and the
Trustee (if the Calculation Agent is not the Trustee) of the interest rate for the new Interest
Reset Period. Upon request of a Holder of the Senior Notes, the Calculation Agent will provide to
such Holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the
interest rate for the next Interest Reset Period.



     All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the
Senior Notes shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Senior Notes and the Company,
absent manifest errors.



     “Business Day” means any day (1) that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on
which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in The
City of New York and, for any place of payment outside of The City of New York, in such place of
payment, and (2) that is also a “London Business Day”, which is a day on which dealings in deposits
in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.



     Interest will be payable on September 10, 2009, December 10, 2009 and March 10, 2010, and on
the Maturity Date (each an “Interest Payment Date”). In the event that any date on which interest
is payable on this Senior Note (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day, then payment
of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day
(and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect
as if made on the date the payment was originally payable, except that if such Business Day is in
the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding
Business Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date payment was originally payable, and no interest on
such payment shall accrue for the period from and after maturity.



     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payments, if any, will be the amount
of interest accrued from and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid or
duly provided for (or from and including the Original Issue Date stated above if no interest has
been paid or provided for with respect to this Senior Note) to but excluding the Interest Payment
Date or the Maturity Date. Accrued interest hereon from the Original Issue Date stated above or
from the last date to which interest hereon has been paid is calculated by multiplying the face
amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding
the interest factor calculated for each day from the Original Issue Date

stated above or from the last date to which interest shall have been paid, to the date for
which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each day shall be computed by
dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360. All percentages resulting from any
calculation hereon will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point,
with five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or
 .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or resulting
from any calculation hereon will be rounded to the nearest cent.



     The interest rate on the Senior Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate
permitted by California law as the same may be modified by United States law of general
applicability.



     This Senior Note shall not be subject to redemption prior to its Stated Maturity.



     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior
Note or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all
purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire
indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an
amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which
when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with
money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to
pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Senior Note when due.



     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less
than 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may
declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by
notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that
with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events,
the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without
further action by the Trustee or the Holders.



     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the
Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions
to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at
the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of
more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall
directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such
series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required;
and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one
Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of
Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly
affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the



A-9









 







Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental
indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on
behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any
Senior 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 Senior Note.



     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior 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, the Holders of
at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds 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 at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a
direction inconsistent with such written 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 Senior Note 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 Senior 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 any premium and interest on this Senior 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 Senior Note is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Senior
Note 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 Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or
the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.



     The Senior Notes 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, Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Senior Notes 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.



A-10









 





     Prior to due presentment of this Senior 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 Senior
Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.



     This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws
of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except
to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.



     As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any
claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture, against any incorporator,
shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any
predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or
successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law
or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such
personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the
consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note.



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