 Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2064 

United Parcel Service, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the “Company”,
which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [_] Dollars ($[_]), or such other principal amount
as may be set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture, on December 15, 2064 and to pay interest thereon from December 15, 2014 or from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year and on any maturity date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 15, 2015 and ending on the
maturity date. Interest on the Securities will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. 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 Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the
March 1, June 1, September 1 or December 1, as applicable (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable on any
maturity date shall be payable to the Person to whom the principal of this Security shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be set by the Trustee, notice whereof
shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date or maturity date shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including December 15, 2014, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Securities) to, but excluding, such
Interest Payment Date or maturity date, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date (other than the maturity date) is not a Business Day at the relevant place of payment, the Company will pay interest on the next day that is a Business Day at
such place of payment as if payment were made on the date such payment was due, except that if such Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date (other than the maturity date) shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day. If the maturity date of the Securities is not a Business Day at the relevant place of payment, the Company will pay interest, if any, and 

 
principal and premium, if any, on the next day that is a Business Day at such place of payment as if payment were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts
so payable for the period from and after such date to the immediately succeeding Business Day. 
 “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. 

The term “maturity,” when used with respect to a Security, means the date on which the principal of such Security or an installment
of principal becomes due and payable as therein provided or as provided in the indenture, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, repayment or otherwise. 

The interest rate on the Securities will be reset quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each
year, as applicable, commencing March 15, 2015 (each, an “Interest Reset Date”). The Securities 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) minus 0.30% (30 basis points); provided, that the rate shall not be less than 0.00%. The interest rate for the Initial Interest Period will be three-month LIBOR, determined as of two London business days prior
to December 15, 2014, minus 0.30% per annum. The “Initial Interest Period” will be the period from and including December 15, 2014 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 Securities will be the period from and including
the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the maturity date of such Securities 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, 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 December 15, 2014, as the case may be. 

The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, or December 15, 2014 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 December 15, 2014, in
the case of the initial Interest Reset Period, or thereafter the applicable Interest Reset Date. 

 The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., or its successor appointed by the Company, will
act as calculation agent. Three-month LIBOR will be determined by the calculation agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) With respect to an Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months
commencing on the Interest Reset Date that appears on the designated LIBOR page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be
determined as follows: the calculation agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected and identified by the Company to provide the calculation agent with its offered
quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The
City of New York selected and identified by the Company for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at
that time; provided, however, that if the banks selected and identified by the Company are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR determined with respect to the
immediately preceding Interest Determination Date. 
 (ii) The designated LIBOR page is the Reuters screen “LIBOR01”, or any
successor service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars. The Reuters screen “LIBOR01” is the display designated as the Reuters screen “LIBOR01”, or such other page as may replace
the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited
(“IBA”) or its successor or such other entity assuming the responsibility of IBA or its successor in calculating the London Interbank Offered Rate in the event IBA or its successor no longer does so. 

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Securities 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. Any percentage resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Securities less than 0.00% will be deemed to be 0.00% (or .000). 

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 Securities, 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
Securities shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders and the Company, absent manifest errors. 
 Delivery of the Maturity Consideration
and payment of interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and payment of interest on this Security and the Maturity Consideration will
be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed
to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 
 Reference is hereby made to the
further provisions of this Security 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 the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed. 

Dated:

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 26, 2003 (as supplemented, 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. (as successor to Citibank, 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. 
 The Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time, at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, in amounts of $1,000 or any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at the following Redemption Prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on
December 15 of any of the following years: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Price	 
	 2044
	  	 	105.00	% 
	 2045
	  	 	104.50	% 
	 2046
	  	 	104.00	% 
	 2047
	  	 	103.50	% 
	 2048
	  	 	103.00	% 
	 2049
	  	 	102.50	% 
	 2050

	 2052
	  	 	101.00	% 
	 2053
	  	 	100.50	% 
	 2054
	  	 	100.00	% 

 and thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption
Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). 

The Company must mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the
Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption. 

In the event of any redemption of less than all the outstanding Securities, the particular Securities (or portions of Securities in multiples
of $1,000) to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by the method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities 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 Securities of this series will be repayable at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part,
on the repayment dates and at the repayment prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth in the following table: 
  

					
	 Date
	  	Redemption
Price	 
	 December 15, 2015
	  	 	98.00	%
	 December 15, 2016
	  	 	98.00	%
	 December 15, 2017
	  	 	98.00	%
	 December 15, 2018
	  	 	98.00	%
	 December 15, 2019
	  	 	98.00	%
	 December 15, 2020
	  	 	99.00	%
	 December 15, 2021
	  	 	99.00	%
	 December 15, 2022
	  	 	99.00	%
	 December 15, 2023
	  	 	99.00	%
	 December 15, 2024
	  	 	99.00	%
	 December 15, 2025
	  	 	100.00	%

 and on December 15 of every third year thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, through and including
December 15, 2061, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant Regular Record Dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). 

In order for a Security to be repaid, the paying agent must receive, at least 30 but not more than 60 calendar days before the optional
repayment date, (1) the Security with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Security duly completed or (2) a telegram, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States which must set forth: 
  

	 	(i)	the name of the Holder of the Security; 

  

	 	(ii)	the principal amount of the Security; 

  

	 	(iii)	the principal amount of the Security to be repaid; 

  

	 	(iv)	the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of the Security; 

  

	 	(v)	a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised; and 

  

	 	(vi)	a guarantee that the Security is to be repaid. 

 These items, together with the duly completed
form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Security, must be received by the paying agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of that telegram, facsimile transmission or letter. The repayment option
may be exercised by the Holder of a Security for less than the entire principal amount of the Security but, in that event, the principal amount of the Security remaining outstanding after repayment must be in an authorized denomination. 

 If a Tax Event occurs, the Company may shorten the maturity of the Securities, without the
consent of the Holders, to the minimum extent required, in the opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel, so that, after shortening the maturity, interest paid on the Securities will be deductible for United States Federal income tax
purposes or, if that counsel cannot opine definitively as to such a minimum period, the minimum extent so required to maintain the Company’s interest deduction to the extent deductible under current law as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors, after receipt of an opinion of counsel regarding the applicable legal standards. In that case, the amount payable on those Securities on that new maturity date will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of those Securities plus
interest accrued on those Securities to the date those Securities mature on that new maturity date. If the Company elects to exercise its right to shorten the maturity of the Securities when a Tax Event occurs, the Company will mail a notice to each
Holder by first-class mail not more than 60 days after the occurrence of the Tax Event, stating the new maturity date of the Securities. This notice shall be effective immediately upon mailing. 

“Tax Event” means that the Company shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel to the effect
that, as a result of: 
  

	 	(i)	any amendment to, clarification of, or change (including any announced prospective amendment, clarification or change) in any law, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States; 

 

	 	(ii)	any judicial decision, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling,
regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an “administrative or judicial action”); or 

  

	 	(iii)	any amendment to, clarification of, or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the
previously generally accepted position or interpretation, 

 in each case, occurring on or after December 15, 2014, there is more than an
insubstantial increase in the risk that interest paid by the Company on the Securities is not, or will not be, deductible, in whole or in part, by the Company for United States Federal income tax purposes. 

The Company will not create, assume, incur or guarantee, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create, assume, incur or guarantee,
any Secured Indebtedness without making provision whereby this Security shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Secured Indebtedness, together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created that is not subordinate to this Security, so long as the Secured Indebtedness shall be outstanding, unless such Secured Indebtedness, when added to (a) the aggregate amount of all
Secured Indebtedness then outstanding (not including in this computation Secured Indebtedness if this Security is secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Indebtedness and further not including in this computation any Secured
Indebtedness that is concurrently being retired) and (b) the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt then outstanding pursuant to Sale and 

 
Leaseback Transactions entered into by the Company after January 26, 1999, or entered into by a Restricted Subsidiary after January 26, 1999 or, if later, the date on which it became a
Restricted Subsidiary (not including in this computation any Attributable Debt that is concurrently being retired), would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless (a) the sum
of (i) the Attributable Debt to be outstanding pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, (ii) all Attributable Debt then outstanding pursuant to all other Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into by the Company after
January 26, 1999, or entered into by a Restricted Subsidiary after January 26, 1999 or, if later, the date on which it became a Restricted Subsidiary, and (iii) the aggregate of all Secured Indebtedness then outstanding (not including
in this computation Secured Indebtedness if this Security is secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Indebtedness) would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, or (b) an amount equal to the greater of
(i) the net proceeds to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary of the sale of the Principal Property sold and leased back pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and (ii) the amount of Attributable Debt to be outstanding pursuant
to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Funded Debt that is subordinate to this Security or is owing to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries
or is scheduled to mature within one year after consummation of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction) within 180 days after the consummation of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction. 

Default in the performance, or breach, of either of the covenants set forth in the preceding two paragraphs will be an “Event of
Default” under Section 5.01 of the Indenture, and the covenants set forth in the preceding two paragraphs will be subject to defeasance in accordance with Section 13.03 of the Indenture. 

“Attributable Debt” means, as of the date of its determination, the present value (discounted semiannually at an interest rate of
7.0% per annum) of the obligation of a lessee for rental payments pursuant to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction (reduced by the amount of the rental obligations of any sublessee of all or part of the same property) during the remaining term of
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which the lease relating thereto has been extended), such rental payments not to include amounts payable by the lessee for maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments and
similar charges and for contingent rents (such as those based on sales). In the case of any Sale and Leaseback Transaction in which the lease is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such rental payments shall be considered for
purposes of this definition to be the lesser of the discounted values of (a) the rental payments to be paid under such Sale and Leaseback Transaction until the first date (after the date of such determination) upon which it may be so terminated
plus the then applicable penalty upon such termination, and (b) the rental payments required to be paid during the remaining term of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (assuming such termination provision is not exercised). 

“Capitalized Lease Obligation” means any obligation to pay rent or other amounts under a lease of (or other agreement conveying the
right to use) real or personal property that is required to be classified and accounted for as a capital lease obligation under generally accepted accounting principles, and, for the purposes of this Security, the amount of such obligation at any
date shall be the capitalized amount thereof at such date, determined in accordance with such principles. 

 “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means at any date, the total assets appearing on the
Company’s most recently prepared consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, less (a) all current liabilities as shown on such balance
sheet and (b) Intangible Assets. 
 “Funded Debt” means any indebtedness maturing by its terms more than one year from its
date of issue, including any indebtedness renewable or extendable at the option of the obligor to a date later than one year from the date of the original issuance thereof. 

“Indebtedness” means (a) any liability of any Person (i) for borrowed money, or under any reimbursement obligation
relating to a letter of credit, (ii) evidenced by a bond, note, debenture or similar instrument, including a purchase money obligation, given in connection with the acquisition of any businesses, properties or assets of any kind or with
services incurred in connection with capital expenditures, other than a trade payable or a current liability arising in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) for the payment of money relating to a Capitalized Lease Obligation, or
(iv) for Interest Rate Protection Obligations; (b) any liability of others described in the preceding clause (a) that the Person has guaranteed or that is otherwise its legal liability; and (c) any amendment, supplement,
modification, deferral, renewal, extension or refunding of any liability of the types referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above. 

“Intangible Assets” means at any date the value (net of any applicable reserves), as shown on or reflected in the Company’s
most recently prepared consolidated balance sheet, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of: (a) all trade names, trademarks, licenses, patents, copyrights and goodwill; (b) organizational and development
costs; (c) deferred charges (other than prepaid items such as insurance, taxes, interest, commissions, rents and similar items and tangible assets being amortized); and (d) unamortized debt discount and expense, less unamortized premium.

other Person whereby, directly or indirectly, such Person is entitled to receive from time to time periodic payments calculated by applying a fixed rate of interest on a stated notional amount in exchange for periodic payments made by such Person
calculated by applying a floating rate of interest on the same notional amount. 
 “Liens” means any mortgage, lien, pledge,
security interest, charge or encumbrance. 
 “Principal Property” means any land, land improvements, buildings and associated
factory, distribution, laboratory and office equipment (excluding any motor vehicles, aircraft, mobile materials handling equipment, data processing equipment and rolling stock) constituting a distribution facility, operating facility, manufacturing
facility, development facility, warehouse facility, service facility or office facility (including any portion thereof), which facility (a) is owned by or leased to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (b) is located within the United
States and (c) has an acquisition cost plus capitalized improvements in excess of 0.50% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of the date of such determination, other than (i) any such 

 
facility, or portion thereof, which has been financed by obligations issued by or on behalf of a State, a Territory or a possession of the United States, or any political subdivision of any of
the foregoing, or the District of Columbia, the interest on which is excludable from gross income of the holders thereof (other than a “substantial user” of such facility or a “related Person” as those terms are used in
Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) pursuant to the provisions of Section 103 of the Code (or any similar provision hereafter enacted) as in effect at the time of issuance of such
obligations, (ii) any such facility that the Board of Directors may by Board Resolution declare is not of material importance to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (iii) any such facility, or portion thereof,

contracts, leases, trust receipts, mortgages, commercial paper or other financing instruments, and any collateral or agreements relating thereto, including in the business, individually or through partnerships, of financing, whether through long- or
short-term borrowings, pledges, discounts or otherwise, the sales, leasing or other operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries or any of them, or (y) engaged in the business of financing the assets and operations of third parties, and
(z) in any case, not, except as incidental to such financing business, engaged in owning, leasing or operating any property which, but for this proviso, would qualify as Principal Property or (B) any Subsidiary acquired or organized after
January 26, 1999, for the purpose of acquiring the stock or business or assets of any Person other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or similar transaction analogous

Indebtedness.” 
 In no event shall the foregoing provisions be interpreted to mean that the same Indebtedness is included more than
once in the calculation of “Secured Indebtedness” as that term is used in this Security, nor shall their operation cause this result. 

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 issued 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 Securities 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 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 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 have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time
Outstanding shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee, 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 or delivery of the Maturity Consideration 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 affect or
impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Maturity Consideration and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the manner, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this Security, 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 Maturity Consideration 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 multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor in 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. 
 The Indenture contains provisions whereby (i) the Company may be discharged from its
obligations with respect to the Securities (subject to certain exceptions) or (ii) the Company may be released from its obligation under specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company irrevocably deposits with
the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Securities of this series, and satisfies certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of laws of such state. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture. 

 This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the Indenture.
