 [FORM OF 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 March 28, 2013 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association,
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 are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ or more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at
any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be
redeemed to the Redemption Date; and (ii) the sum, as calculated by the Independent Investment Banker, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest
accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. 
 For the purposes of the foregoing, the following
definitions shall apply: 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Securities to be redeemed 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 Securities. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
for such Redemption Date. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means either of (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and
(2) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and their respective successors, as selected by the Company, or, if any such firm or the successors, if any, to such firm, as the case may be, are unwilling or unable to serve as
such, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury
Dealer” means each of (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and (2) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“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 ask 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 by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 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 year
equal to: 
 (1) the yield, under the heading which 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 which establishes yields on actively traded United States
Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the
Remaining Life of the Securities to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on
a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest 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 year equal to the semi-annual 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 Redemption Date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term “Business
Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or required by law to remain closed. 
 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 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 each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in 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 

  
 -6-

 
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 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 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 $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 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. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
