 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of senior securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and
to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 19, 2006 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), 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 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 limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000 (plus such additional amounts of Securities of this series as may be authorized for issuance from
time to time in the manner set forth in the Indenture). 
 The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30
days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed or
(2) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities of this series to be redeemed, not including any portion of these payments of interest
accrued as of the date on which the Securities of this series are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on which the Securities of this series are to be redeemed on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at
the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 0.50%, plus accrued interest 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.

 “Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

comparable to the remaining maturity of the Securities of this series being redeemed that would be used in accordance with customary financial practice to price new issues of corporate debt securities with a maturity comparable to the remaining
maturity of the Securities of this series being redeemed. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means the result of the
calculation of the Calculation Agent of the average of the Reference Dealer Quotations of the Comparable Treasury Issue provided by each Reference Dealer, after the Calculation Agent has eliminated the highest and lowest Reference Dealer Quotations;
provided, that, if the Calculation Agent obtains fewer than three Reference Dealer Quotations, it will calculate the average of all of the Reference Dealer Quotations and not eliminate any Reference Dealer Quotations.

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 the entire indebtedness of this Security or 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. 

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 a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each
such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive 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

25% in principal amount of the Securities 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 indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it, and the 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. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, with a minimum denomination of $2,000. 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 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. 
 This Security and the
Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
