Holders of record on the immediately preceding Interest Record Date; provided, that if an Interest Payment Date for this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business
Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA Uniform Practice Code. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue

	 Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 4.650% Notes due 2046 (the “Notes”) issued under an indenture, dated as of April 29, 2013 (the
“Base Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as supplemented by an Officer’s Certificate, dated February 23, 2016, issued pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture (together with the Base Indenture, the
“Indenture”). This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are
inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. 

	 	 4.
	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain
transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15)
days before the mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

 

	 	 5.
	 Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and
any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of Outstanding Securities (including the Notes)
under the Indenture that is affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder of the Notes, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among
other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or make any other change that does not adversely affect
the rights of any Holder of the Notes in any material respect. 
  

	 	 6.
	 Redemption. 

 Prior to
August 23, 2045, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, each at a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (assuming
such Notes matured on August 23, 2045), exclusive of interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal
to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

On or after August 23, 2045, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem any of the Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to
time, each at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and
payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as
having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming such Notes matured on August 23, 2045) 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 Notes (assuming such Notes matured on August 23, 2045). 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of
all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer
shall appoint to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1)
each of Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Issuer will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer shall select. 

“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 asked prices for the applicable 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 applicable Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely
corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will 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 semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using
a price for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Issuer 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 obligated by law or executive order to close. 
 The
provisions of Article XI of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the Notes. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed or
electronically delivered at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state, among other
things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the redemption price will be calculated and the place or places that payments will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the
Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be
redeemed will be selected by the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or by lot, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note. 

	 	 7.
	 Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with
respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes. Holders of Notes may not
enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to
certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of
certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest. 
  

	 	 8.
	 Authentication. 

 This
Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 
  

	 	 9.
	 Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN
ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

 

	 	 10.
	 CUSIP Numbers. 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP
numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
hereon.

ARTICLE 3
 CHANGE OF CONTROL REPURCHASE EVENT

 

Section 3.01.  Intended Beneficiary; Definitions.

 

(a)        The provisions of this Article 3 shall be applicable only to, and are solely for the benefit of Holders of, each series of the Notes and to no other Security.

 

(b)        For purposes of this Supplemental Indenture No. 2:

 

“Below Investment Grade Ratings Event” means, with respect to the Notes, on any day within the 60-day period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any Rating Agency) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control, or (2) the public announcement of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control,

 

5

 

the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each and every Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not publicly announce or publicly confirm, or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request, that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Ratings Event).

 

“Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than (1) the Company, (2) any Subsidiary, (3) any employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (4) any underwriter temporarily holding Voting Stock of the Company pursuant to an offering of such Voting Stock, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed measured by voting power rather than number of shares.

 

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event with respect to the Notes.

 

“Investment Grade” means, with respect to Moody’s, a rating of Baa3 or better (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); with respect to S&P, a rating of BBB- or better (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and, with respect to any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating.

 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors.

 

“Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

 

6

 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw Hill Financial, Inc., and its successors.

 

“Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

 

Section 3.02.  Change of Control Repurchase Event.

 

(a)        If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Notes, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to the redemption terms of  each series of the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of the Notes of each series to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased to, but not including, the Repurchase Date (defined below).

 

(b)        Within 30 days following a Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to a Change of Control, but after the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company will mail, or cause to be mailed, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, a notice to each Holder of the Notes of each series, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the payment date specified in the notice (such offer the “Repurchase Offer” and such date the “Repurchase Date”), which Repurchase Date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed or delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Repurchase Offer is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Repurchase Date.

 

(c)        The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes of each series as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

 

(d)        On the Repurchase Date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 

7

 

(i)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer;

 

(ii)   deposit with the Trustee or with such Paying Agent as the Trustee may designate an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered;

 

(iii)  deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted for payment by the Company, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Offer; and

 

(iv)  deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, for authentication by the Trustee, any new Notes required to be issued pursuant to Section 3.02(e) below, duly executed by the Company.

 

(e)        Upon receipt by the Trustee from the Company of a notice setting forth the Repurchase Price and the Notes properly tendered and accepted for payment, the Trustee will promptly mail, or cause the Paying Agent to promptly mail, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, to each Holder of Notes, or portions of Notes, properly tendered and accepted for payment by the Company the Repurchase Price for such Notes or portions of such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder a new 2026 Note or 2046 Note, as applicable, duly executed by the Company equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of each series of Notes surrendered, as applicable; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

(f)        The Company will not be required to make a Repurchase Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes or portions of such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

 

(g)        The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the Company may not have sufficient funds to repurchase all Notes or portions of such Notes properly tendered upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF A DEPOSITARY. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY) MAY BE REGISTERED EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.

 

Unless this security is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any security issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

3.250% Notes due 2026

 

Guaranteed as to Payment of Principal and Interest
 by the Guarantors named in the Indenture Referred to Below

 

FedEx Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor Corporation under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to

or registered assigns, the principal sum of US$[   ] on April 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from March 24, 2016, or from the most recent “Interest Payment Date” to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2016, and ending on the Maturity Date, at the rate of 3.250% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture dated as of October 23, 2015 between the Company, the Guarantors referred to in the Indenture and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee pursuant to the Indenture), as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 2 dated as of March 24, 2016  (“Supplemental Indenture No. 2”), between the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee (as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such interest, which shall be the preceding March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a Business Day), respectively. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Notes 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 Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

The Company will at all times appoint and maintain a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) authorized by the Company to pay the principal of and interest on any Notes of this series on behalf of the Company and having an office or agency in New York, New York and in such other cities, if any, as the Company may designate in writing to the Trustee (the “Place of Payment”) where Notes of this series may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests in respect for payments with respect to Notes of this series may be served.  The Company has initially appointed Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as such Paying Agent.

 

Interest payments on this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including March 24, 2016, if no interest

 

2

 

has been paid on this Note) to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.

 

If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), principal or interest payable with respect to such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were paid on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York or Tennessee are obligated or authorized by law to close.

 

The principal and interest payable on this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder hereof in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note 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 by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit pursuant to the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

3.250% Notes due 2026

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued pursuant to the Indenture. 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 Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to US$750,000,000. Capitalized terms used herein and in the Guarantee endorsed hereon but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

 

The Notes of this series are not subject to any sinking fund.

 

The Company will have the right, at its option, to redeem the Notes of this series in whole or in part at any time prior to the Par Call Date, on at least 30 days’, but no more than 60 days’, prior written notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes of this series to be redeemed. Upon redemption of such Notes, the Company will pay a redemption price as calculated by a Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 2) selected by the Company equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of this series to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes of this series to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes of this series matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of 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 Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 2) plus 0.200% (20 basis points), plus, in the case of either (i) or (ii), accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the principal amount of the Notes of this series being redeemed.

 

At any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes of this series, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of this series to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the principal amount of the Notes of this series being redeemed. As used in this Note, Par Call Date shall mean January 1, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes of this series).

 

6

 

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes of this series called for redemption.

 

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 2) occurs with respect to Notes of this series, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the affected Notes, the Company will make an offer, as provided in, and subject to the terms of, Supplemental Indenture No. 2, to each Holder of the Notes of this series to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

 

The Notes of this series are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest in respect thereof by the Guarantors as evidenced by their guarantees (the “Guarantees”) set forth hereon. The Guarantees are the direct and unconditional obligations of such Guarantors and rank and will rank equally in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Guarantors now or hereafter outstanding.

 

In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Note or (ii) certain respective covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

 

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 Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected pursuant to the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in 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 and the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults pursuant to the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note or Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in

 

7

 

exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

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 interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the currency herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and 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 the Place of Payment, 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 its attorney-in-fact 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 equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for the same aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor and authorized denominations, 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 Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor 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 Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or any Guarantor in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor or any successor thereto, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.

or registered assigns, the principal sum of US$[   ] on April 1, 2046 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from March 24, 2016, or from the most recent “Interest Payment Date” to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2016, and ending on the Maturity Date, at the rate of 4.550% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture dated as of October 23, 2015 between the Company, the Guarantors referred to in the Indenture and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee pursuant to the Indenture), as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 2 dated as of March 24, 2016  (“Supplemental Indenture No. 2”), between the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee (as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such interest, which shall be the preceding March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a Business Day), respectively. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Notes 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 Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

The Company will at all times appoint and maintain a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) authorized by the Company to pay the principal of and interest on any Notes of this series on behalf of the Company and having an office or agency in New York, New York and in such other cities, if any, as the Company may designate in writing to the Trustee (the “Place of Payment”) where Notes of this series may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests in respect for payments with respect to Notes of this series may be served.  The Company has initially appointed Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as such Paying Agent.

 

Interest payments on this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including March 24, 2016, if no interest

 

2

 

has been paid on this Note) to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.

 

If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), principal or interest payable with respect to such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were paid on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York or Tennessee are obligated or authorized by law to close.

 

The principal and interest payable on this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder hereof in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note 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 by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit pursuant to the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to US$1,250,000,000. Capitalized terms used herein and in the Guarantee endorsed hereon but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

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 interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the currency herein prescribed.
