 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an
Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2009, and an eighth supplemental indenture relating to such series dated as of December 6, 2013 (herein, collectively 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., 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 Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, such series initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,250,000,000; provided that the Company may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
any Holder, issue additional Notes of this series. 
 The Notes of this series are not redeemable at the option of the Holders. 

At any time prior to December 6, 2018, the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at the
Company’s option, on at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Redemption Price”),
calculated by the Company, equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed
(exclusive 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 Treasury Rate plus 7 basis points. 

The Redemption Price for any Notes redeemed pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount of such Notes to the Redemption Date. 
 For purposes of calculating the Make-Whole Redemption Price, the following terms shall have
the following specified meanings: 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated 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 a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury
Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date (A) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or
(B) if the Company obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all such quotations for such Redemption Date. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 

  
 A-5 

Table of Contents

 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays
Capital Inc., or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. government securities dealers in the United States of America and their respective successors plus two other primary U.S. government securities dealers in the United States of
America designated by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States of America (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the
Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with
respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to
maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury
Price for such Redemption Date. 
 The provisions of Article XI of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the Notes. 

The Notes of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Notes of this series or certain restrictive
covenants and Events of Default with respect to such Notes, 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 such Notes may be declared, or
shall immediately become, 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 Notes 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 aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes 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 Holders of Notes of this series shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holders 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.

Table of Contents

 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of the Notes of this
series 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 aggregate 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 aggregate principal amount of such Notes 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 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 Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security

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 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, Notes of this series are
exchangeable for a like principal amount of Notes 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 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

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an
Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2009, and an eighth supplemental indenture relating to such series dated as of December 6, 2013 (herein, collectively 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., 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 Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, such series initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,500,000,000; provided that the Company may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
any Holder, issue additional Notes of this series. 
 The Notes of this series are not redeemable at the option of the Holders. 

At any time prior to September 15, 2023, the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at the
Company’s option, on at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Redemption Price”),
calculated by the Company, equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed
(exclusive 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 Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points. 

At any time on or after September 15, 2023, the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time, at the Company’s option,
on at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price (the “Final Redemption Price” and, together with the Make-Whole
Redemption Price, the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. 
 The
Redemption Price for any Notes redeemed pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs shall include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Notes to the Redemption Date. 

For purposes of calculating the Make-Whole Redemption Price, the following terms shall have the following specified meanings: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment
Banker as having an actual or interpolated 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 a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

 “Independent Investment
Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc., or their respective affiliates, which are primary U.S. government securities dealers in the United States of America and their respective successors plus two other primary U.S. government
securities dealers in the United States of America designated by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States of America (a
“Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to
maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury
Price for such Redemption Date. 
 The provisions of Article XI of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the Notes. 

The Notes of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Notes of this series or certain restrictive
covenants and Events of Default with respect to such Notes, 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 such Notes may be declared, or
shall immediately become, 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 Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company

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 Holders of the Notes of this series shall not have the right to institute

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 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 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 any premium and interest on this Note are payable,

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 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, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as
