predecessors (collectively, “KANA”) and Alan Hubbard (referred to below as “Employee” or “Consultant”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by KANA, and both Employee and KANA have agreed that Employee’s employment shall terminate effective
January 15, 2006 (“Termination Date”). KANA and Employee wish to sever their relationship in a way that preserves the good will which exists between them. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the payment by KANA to Employee of the sums described in this Agreement, the parties
agree as follows: 
  
 A. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
  
 1. Resignation; Termination Date. Employee hereby formally submits
his resignation (a) as Executive Vice President, Research & Development. KANA hereby accepts such resignation. The parties agree that Employee’s employment with KANA is terminated effective as of the Termination Date. 

 
 2. Acknowledgment of Payment of Wages; Expense Reimbursement. KANA
will deliver to Employee a final paycheck of all accrued wages, salary, bonuses reimbursable expenses, and accrued but unused vacation pay (if applicable) due and owing to him from KANA as of the Termination Date. For purposes of clarification, the
parties acknowledge Employee’s bonus to be paid for 2005 is $41,250.00 and this amount was paid February 1, 2006 (Check # 36856). Employee will submit any requests for reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of KANA, together
with receipts for all reimbursable expenses, within ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement, and KANA will reimburse all properly reimbursable expenses in accordance with KANA’s standard policies and practices. In addition, KANA
will pay to Employee $17,500.00 as an additional separation bonus (less applicable federal and state withholding). 
  
 3. Vesting of Shares. KANA will deliver to Employee a report showing the status of all option(s) to purchase shares of KANA common stock granted to
Employee (all such being “Share Awards”). Notwithstanding any provision in any plan, employment agreement, offer letter or other agreement between Employee and KANA (“Prior Agreements”) to the contrary, all of the Employee’s
remaining unvested Share Awards as of January 15, 2006 (hereinafter referred to as “Unvested Shares”) shall remain initially unvested, but may qualify for vesting pursuant to Section C below. Any Share Awards which do not vest
pursuant to Section C below shall terminate. Any currently vested options held by Employee shall remain exercisable during the Period of Consultancy described in Section C below. Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement may cause
any incentive stock options held by Employee to become non qualified options. Employee’s E*Trade account will remain available to Employee. 

 4. COBRA Coverage. Employee has the option, at Employee’s expense, to continue health
insurance coverage provided by KANA as of the Termination Date for a period of up to 12 months from the Termination Date pursuant to the terms and conditions of COBRA, and the option to continue such health insurance coverage at Employee’s
expense for such additional period as may be permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of COBRA. Information concerning COBRA continuation coverage will be provided to Employee under separate cover from KANA’s COBRA administrators.
Employee has 60 days from the Termination Date to notify KANA’s administrator in writing of his election to so continue the continuation coverage. 
  

5. Return of KANA Property. Employee hereby represents and warrants to KANA that he has returned to KANA and/or will return prior to
March 1, 2006, any and all of KANA’s property, including, but not limited to, files, memoranda, computers, Blackberry wireless device, cell phone, records and credit cards, which was in his possession or control. Notwithstanding the above,
Employee may retain possession of the primary personal computer assigned by KANA to Employee and the Blackberry wireless device for a period of thirty (30) days from the Termination Date. KANA acknowledges that during this period, and pursuant
to the consulting terms described below, KANA may authorize Consultant to retain certain files stored on such computer. In addition, KANA shall allow Consultant continued access to voicemail and email for thirty (30) days from the Termination
Date. 
  
 6. Confidential Information. Employee hereby

strictest confidence and that he may not make any use of such Confidential Information on behalf of any third party. Employee further confirms that he has delivered to KANA all documents and data of any nature containing or pertaining to such
Confidential Information and that he has not taken with him any such documents or data of any reproduction thereof, except for any such documents or data that Employee may be specifically authorized to retain during the Period of Consultancy
described below, and pursuant to the consulting terms described below. 
  
 B. RELEASE 
  
 1. Representation Regarding Existing
Claims. Employee hereby warrants that as of the Effective Date (defined below) of this Agreement, he has not filed any legal action in any court naming KANA as a party. 
  
 2. Waiver of Claims. The payments and agreements set forth in the Agreement are in full satisfaction of any and all
accrued salary, vacation pay, bonus pay, profit-sharing, termination benefits or other compensation to which Employee may be entitled by virtue of his employment with KANA or any of its subsidiaries or his termination of employment. Employee

  

 2 

 hereby releases and waives any and all claims he may have against KANA or any of its officers, directors, employees,
managers, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, parent corporations, subsidiaries, successors, and assigns, including without limitation claims for any additional compensation or benefits arising out of the termination of his employment, any
claims for any additional stock or stock options and any claims of wrongful termination, breach of contract or discrimination under state or federal law. 
  
 Employee hereby expressly waives any benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows: 

 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
  

Employee understands that various federal, state and local laws prohibit age, sex, race, disability, benefits, pension, health and other forms of
discrimination and that these laws can be enforced through the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, California state and local human rights agencies and federal and state courts. Employee understands that if he believes his treatment by
KANA was discriminatory, he has had the right to consult with these agencies and to file a charge with them or file a lawsuit. Employee states and confirms he has filed no Charges or Claims with any state or federal agency or any other body,
institution or tribunal. Employee has decided voluntarily to enter into this Agreement, and waive the right to recover any amounts to which he may have been entitled under such laws, including, but not limited to: the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. (s) 621 et seq. (as amended by the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. (s) 626(f); the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California Government Code (s) 12900 et seq.; the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. (s) 1001 et seq.; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. (s) 2000e et seq.; and 42 U.S.C. (s) 1981. 
  
 C. CONSULTANCY 
  
 1. Consultant Services. KANA and Consultant agree that Consultant shall perform certain consulting services to KANA during the period beginning on
the Termination Date and lasting for six (6) months therefrom (the “Period of Consultancy”). The general scope of the services shall be to work on strategic projects at the direction of KANA’s CEO (the “Services”).
During the Period of Consultancy, Consultant shall be available to provide the Services for the number and days as reasonably requested by KANA’s Chief Executive Officer. For the first six (6) months, Consultant agrees that he shall make
himself available for up to ten (10) hours per week if requested by KANA’s CEO. Consultant shall be an independent contractor and is not an agent or employee of, and has no authority to bind KANA by contract or otherwise. Commencing on the
Termination Date, Consultant will not be an employee of KANA and therefore shall not be eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans of KANA, including but not limited to health, dental, vision, KANA’s 401(k) plan, and KANA’s
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Consultant will perform the Services under the general direction of KANA, but Consultant will determine, in Consultant’s 
  

 3 

 sole discretion, the manner and means by which the Services are accomplished, subject to the requirement that Consultant
shall at all times comply with applicable law. KANA has no right or authority to control the manner or means by which the Services are accomplished. KANA shall be entitled to terminate the Period of Consultancy and Consultant’s engagement
hereunder in the event of a breach by Consultant of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 2. Compensation. As sole compensation for the performance of the Services, KANA will pay Consultant the fees and provide the option/stock vesting set forth in this Section so long as Consultant is complying
with the terms of this Agreement. Expenses incurred in providing the Services to KANA will be reimbursed to Employee subject to KANA’s standard expense guidelines provided that such expenses have been approved in advance by KANA’s CEO.
KANA will pay Consultant at a monthly rate equal to Consultant’s salary with KANA in effect as of the Termination Date ($18,333.33 per Month) for six months. Each payment will be paid on the 15th day of each month beginning February 15, 2006. Consultant is no longer an employee, such payment will be made monthly via KANA’s accounts payable
department. Consultant will not be eligible to receive any bonuses. Additionally, during the Period of Consultancy, the Unvested Shares shall continue to become vested in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect with respect to such Unvested
Shares immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement until the termination of the Period of Consultancy, so long as Consultant continues to comply with each of the terms of this Agreement. In addition, at the end of the full term of the
Period of Consultancy, and provided that Consultant shall have continuously complied with the terms of this Agreement, all Share Awards that then remain unvested shall become fully vested and Consultant shall have a period of ninety (90) days
following the end of the Period of Consultancy to exercise any such vested Unvested Shares (the “Exercise Period”). Consultant will receive no royalty or other remuneration on the sale, marketing, production, and/or distribution of any
products sold, developed or otherwise distributed by KANA or by Consultant in connection with or based upon the Services (“Products”). All vesting shall cease upon the expiration of the Period of Consultancy. As Employee is aware, as a
result of KANA’s failure to file certain SEC filings, KANA is unable to allow option exercises. Employee is free to sell options exercised prior to April 15, 2005 as well as any ESPP shares purchased through KANA’s ESPP plan prior to
such date. If KANA is unable to allow option exercises and as a result Employee will not be able to exercise his vested options during the normal ninety (90) day window, KANA will recommend to its Board of Directors and/or the Compensation
Committee that Employee be allowed to exercise his vested shares that are in the money at the end of such 90 day period during a period of ninety (90) days commencing when and if KANA is again able to allow option exercises. 
  
 3. Property of KANA. 
  
 (a) Definition. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Designs
and Materials” shall mean all designs, discoveries, inventions, products, computer programs, procedures, improvements, developments, drawings, notes, documents, information and materials made, conceived or developed by Consultant alone or with
others pursuant to the Services or otherwise resulting from the Services. 
  

 4 

 (b) Assignment of Ownership. Consultant hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns any and all of
its right, title, and interest in and to Designs and Materials, including but not limited to all copyrights, patent rights, trade secrets and trademarks, to KANA. Designs and Materials will be the sole property of KANA and KANA will have the sole
right to determine the treatment of any Designs and Materials, including the right to keep them as trade secrets, to file and execute patent applications on them, to use and disclose them without prior patent application, to file registrations for
copyright or trademark on them in its own name, or to follow any other procedure that KANA deems appropriate. In addition, any and all rights, title, and interest which Consultant may have in the Services, Designs and Materials and/or Products,
including any copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights, under the laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, are hereby irrevocably assigned by Consultant to KANA, in perpetuity. Consultant agrees: (a) to
disclose promptly in writing to KANA all Designs and Materials; (b) to cooperate with and assist KANA to apply for, and to execute any applications and/or assignments reasonably necessary to obtain, any patent, copyright, trademark or other
statutory protection for Designs and Materials in KANA’s name as KANA deems appropriate; and (c) to otherwise treat all Designs and Materials as “Confidential Information,” as defined herein. These obligations to disclose,
assist, execute and keep confidential will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Moral Rights Waiver. “Moral Rights” means any right to claim authorship of a work, any right to object to any distortion or other
modification of a work, and any similar right, existing under the law of any country in the world, or under any treaty. Consultant hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to KANA any and all Moral Rights that Consultant may have in any Services,
Designs and Materials or Products. Consultant also hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert against KANA, its successors or licensees any and all Moral Rights Consultant may have in any Services, Designs and Materials or Products, even after
expiration or termination of the Period of Consultancy. 
  
 4.
Confidential Information. Consultant acknowledges that Consultant will acquire information and materials from KANA and knowledge about the business, products, programming techniques, experimental work, customers, clients and suppliers of KANA
and that all such knowledge, information and materials acquired, the existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Designs and Materials, are and will be the trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information of KANA
(collectively “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information will not include, however, any information which is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of Consultant or that KANA regularly gives to third parties
without restriction on use or disclosure. Consultant agrees to hold all such Confidential Information in strict confidence, not to disclose it to others or use it in any way, commercially or otherwise, except in performing the Services, and not to
allow any unauthorized person access to it, either before or after expiration or termination of this Agreement. Consultant further agrees to take all action reasonably necessary and satisfactory to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential
Information including, without limitation, implementing and enforcing operating procedures to minimize the possibility of unauthorized use or copying of the Confidential Information.

 (c) It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 5 shall be enforced to the fullest
extent permissible under applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement or any part of any such provision is held under any circumstances to be invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, then: (i) such
provision or part thereof shall, with respect to such circumstances and in such jurisdiction, be modified by such arbitrator or court to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid and enforceable to the fullest possible extent; (ii) the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof under such 
  

 6 

 circumstances and in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision or part thereof
under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction; (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Section 5. Each provision of this Section 5 is separable from every other provision of this Section 5, and each part of each provision of this Section 5 is separable from every other
part of such provision.

any breach of the covenants of Section 5 will result in immediate and irreparable injury to KANA and, accordingly, consents to the application of injunctive relief and such other equitable remedies for the benefit of KANA as may be appropriate
in the event such a breach occurs or is threatened. The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to all other legal remedies to which KANA may be entitled hereunder, including, without limitation, monetary damages. 
  
 6. Nondisparagement. Employee agrees that he will not disparage KANA
or its products, services, agents, representatives, directors, officers, shareholders, attorneys, employees, vendors, affiliates, successors or assigns, or any person acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them, with any written or oral
statement. KANA agrees that it will not disparage Employee with any written or oral statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, KANA acknowledges and agrees that after the Noncompetition Term, Employee may seek employment in his field of expertise and

based solely on publicly available information. 
  
 7.

Employee, or authored, created, derived or otherwise developed by Employee, before and during the Period of Consultancy.

remedies, and all other remedies provided by this Agreement or available at law or in equity shall survive any termination. 
  

 7

the manner provided in this Section 1.04.

certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity,

 (c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders
entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the Company prior to the first
solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of
Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.01) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, only the Holders on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give
or take, or vote on, the relevant action. 
  
 (d) The ownership of
Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 
  
 (e) Any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
  
 Section 1.05. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
  
 (i) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at: Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, for Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, 25 Deforest Avenue, Mail Stop: SUM01-0105, Summit, New
Jersey 07901; Tel: (908) 608-3183; Fax: (732) 578-4635; Attention: Trust and Securities Services; or 
  
 (ii) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the

 Section 1.06 . Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of
any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note
Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled
to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 In case by reason
of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for
every purpose hereunder. 
  
 Whenever under this Indenture the
Trustee is required to provide any notice by mail, in all cases the Trustee may alternatively provide notice by overnight courier or by telefacsimile, with confirmation of transmission. 
  
 Section 1.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a
provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required hereunder to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may
be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 1.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof, and all Article and Section references are to Articles and Sections, respectively, of this Indenture unless otherwise expressly stated. 
  
 Section 1.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
  
 Section
1.10. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. 
  

 11 

 Section 1.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors hereunder and the Holders of Notes, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  
 Section 1.12. Governing Law. This Indenture and the Notes shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
  
 ARTICLE 2 
 THE NOTES 
  
 Section 2.01. Title and Terms. The aggregate Principal Amount of Notes
that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $6,500,000,000, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to
Section 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 5.06 and 10.06. 
  
 The 2009 Notes
shall be designated as “Floating Rate Notes due 2009,” the 2011 Notes shall be designated as “5.25% Senior Notes due 2011” and the 2016 Notes shall be designated as “5.50% Senior Notes due 2016.” The 2009 Notes, the
2011 Notes and the 2016 Notes shall each represent a separate series of Notes. 
  
 The Notes of each series shall rank equally and pari passu with the Notes of each other series and with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Company. 
  
 The Principal Amount and accrued interest on the Notes shall be payable at
the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York maintained for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided that, except in the case of a Global Note, the Company will pay
interest (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Holder with an aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of
any series in excess of $2.0 million, to the place and account designated in writing at least 15 days prior to the interest payment date by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Note Register. 
  
 If the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date for any Note falls on a day that is
not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be. If an
interest payment date for the 2011 Notes or the 2016 Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and
after such interest payment date. If an interest payment date for the 2009 Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment 

  

 12 

 
date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day would be in the following month, in which case, the
interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will be paid to but excluding the relevant interest payment date. 
  

The Notes shall not have the benefit of a sinking fund. 
  
 Section 2.02. Forms of Notes. The 2009 Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the 2011 Notes shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and the 2016 Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary
therefor, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof. 
  
 The terms and provisions contained in the forms of Notes attached hereto as
Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
  
 The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of permanent Global Note in registered form. The aggregate Principal Amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided. 
  
 Section 2.03. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

									
	 Dated:  
                                       
 
	 	 	 	 [                                       
 ], as Trustee

					
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 By
	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 Authorized Signatory

  
 Section 2.04.
Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount. 
  
 Section 2.05. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
its Chairman of the Board, its 

  

 13 

 
Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its President, its Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents. 
  
 Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at
any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date
of such Notes. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company Order shall specify the
amount of Notes to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as a Global Note or as Physical Notes. The Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this
Indenture provided and not otherwise. 
  
 Each Note shall be dated
the date of its authentication. 
  
 No Note shall be entitled to
any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.06. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
  
 If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Principal Amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged,
the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes. 
  

 14 

 Section 2.07. Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 3.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” (the
“Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 3.02 for such purpose,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor. 

 
 At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this
Section 2.07 and Sections 2.10 and 2.11, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever
any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall
be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  
 Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing. 
  
 No service charge shall be made
for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06 not involving any transfer. 
  
 If the Company elects to redeem a series of Notes, it shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note of such series during the period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day the Company mails the notice of redemption for such series of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day such notice of redemption is mailed or (ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Note of such series
after a notice of redemption has been 

  

 15 

 
given to Holders except, where such notice provides that such Note is to be redeemed only in part, the Company shall be required to exchange or register a
transfer of the portion thereof not to be redeemed. 
  
 Neither
the Trustee nor any of its agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation relating to any transfers or
exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder. 
  
 As
used in this Section, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Note. 
  
 Section 2.08 . Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
  
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable or has been called for redemption in full, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.08, the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Note duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

  

 16 

 Section 2.09. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a 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 such is registered as the owner of such for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of such Note and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 Section 2.10. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the
name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary and (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. 
  
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary, Euroclear or Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute
owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder. 
  
 (b) Transfers of the Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but
not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.11. In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Notes if (A) such Depositary has notified the Company (or the
Company becomes aware) that the Depositary (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act when the Depositary is required to be so
registered to act as such Depositary and, in either such case, no successor Depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification or of the Company becoming aware of such event; or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing
an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note and the Outstanding Notes shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 and the Trustee requests that Physical Notes be issued. 
  
 Investors may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through
Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are Agent Members in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are Agent Members in such systems. If interests in the Global Notes are held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear 

  

 17 

 
and Clearstream shall hold such interests in the Global Notes through the Depositary on behalf of their Agent Members. 
  
 (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the
beneficial interest in the Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Note Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the Principal
Amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like
tenor and amount. 
  
 (d) In connection with the transfer of the
entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each
beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Note, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations and the same tenor. 
  
 (e) The Holder of the Global Notes may grant proxies and otherwise authorize
any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
  
 Section 2.11 . Cancellation and Transfer Provisions. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has
not issued and sold. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption or cancellation in accordance with its customary practices. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes,
such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has
paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 Section 2.12 . Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General
Terms and Conditions” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in any Global Note held by Agent Members through Euroclear and Clearstream. 
  
 Section 2.13 . CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Notes, the Company may
use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use 

  

 18 

 
“CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
 COVENANTS 

 
 Section 3.01. Payments. The Company shall duly and
punctually make all payments in respect of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. 
  
 Any payments made or due pursuant to this Indenture shall be considered paid on the applicable date due if by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date
the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, cash sufficient to pay all such amounts then due. Payment of the principal and interest on the Notes shall be 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. 
  
 Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands. 
  
 The Company may also from time to time designate one
or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
  

 19 

 Section 3.03. Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as
its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any payment in respect of any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to make the payment so becoming due until such
sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of any payment in respect of any Notes, deposit with a Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such. 
  
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
  
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the making of payments in respect of any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due shall be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, 

  

 20 

 
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. In the absence of a written request from the Company to return funds
remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due to the Company, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed payments to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole
discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any such unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest. 
  
 Section 3.04. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company will
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate which shall comply with the provisions of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, stating
whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof any Default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder)
occurred during the previous fiscal year, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
  
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any
Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
  
 Section
3.05. Existence. Subject to Article 4, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  
 Section 3.06. Reports and Delivery of Certain Information. To the extent required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee within 15 days after the
same is so required to be filed with the Commission (i) all quarterly and annual financial information that is substantially equivalent to that which would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if
the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the
Company’s certified independent accountants and (ii) all reports that are substantially equivalent to that which would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports;
provided that in each case the delivery of materials to the Trustee by electronic 

  

 21 

 
means shall be deemed to be “furnished” to the Trustee for purposes of this Section 3.06. Delivery of such reports, information and documents
to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
  
 Section 3.07. Book-Entry System. If the Notes cease to trade in the Depositary’s book-entry settlement system, the Company covenants and
agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to make such other book entry arrangements that it determines are reasonable for the Notes. 
  
 Section 3.08. Information for IRS Filings. The Company shall provide to the Trustee on a timely basis such information as the Trustee requires to
enable the Trustee to prepare and file any form required to be submitted by the Company with the Internal Revenue Service and the Holders of the Notes.

property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any
such action. 
  
 Section 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in 6.01(d) and 6.01(e)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of
the applicable series of outstanding Notes may declare the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or 6.01(e), the Principal Amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the applicable series of outstanding Notes will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
  
 (b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if: 
  
 (i) such
rescission and annulment will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and 
  
 (ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series
of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.12. 
  
 Section 6.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if a default is made in the payment of
the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest at the Stated Maturity or in the payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Note, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the applicable
series of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  

 30 

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue
any available remedy to collect the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest on the applicable series of Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the applicable series of Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee
may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding.

its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee
allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 
  
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any Holder in any such proceeding.

presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07; and 
  
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the applicable series of Notes for the Principal Amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest or the Redemption Price in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes.

  
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any
Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this 

  

 31 

 
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (other than in the case of an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b)), unless: 
  
 (i)
such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

be incurred in compliance with such request;

 (v) no direction, in the opinion of the Trustee, inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes; 
  
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. 
  
 Section 6.07.
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest or the Redemption Price in respect of
the applicable series of Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes or any Redemption Date, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired
or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 Section 6.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively 

  

 32 

 
to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted. 
  
 Section 6.09. Rights and Remedies
Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or
to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 Section 6.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy
given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 6.11. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in
Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to such series of Notes or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee by the Holders of such series of Notes; provided that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. 
  
 Section 6.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes
may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes of that series waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default: 
  
 (i) described in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b); or 
  
 (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose 

  

 33 

 
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 6.13. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, in either case in respect of the applicable series of Notes, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file
an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by the party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.13 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity of such Note or the
Redemption Price. 
  
 Section 6.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension
Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, or extension law wherever enacted, now or
at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 
  
 Section 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect
to the applicable series of Notes has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the 

  

 34 

 
exercise of any of its rights or powers. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting
the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
  
 Section 7.02. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall give the Holders notice of any Default hereunder within 90 days after the occurrence thereof;
provided that (except in the case of any Default in the payment of Principal Amount or interest, on the applicable series of Notes or the Redemption Price), the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust
committee of directors and/or a Responsible Office of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of such Notes. 
  
 Section 7.03. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01:

the absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
  
 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the

 35 

 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further

authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; and 
  
 (l) the permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty
unless so specified herein. 
  
 Section 7.04. Not Responsible
for Recitals. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity, 

  

 36 

 
sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the
proceeds thereof. 
  
 Section 7.05. May Hold Notes. The
Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Section 7.08 and 7.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent. 
  
 Section 7.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 
  
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 
  
 (i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust); 
  
 (ii) except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
  
 (iii) to indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.07(iii) shall include its
officers, directors, employees and agents) and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether assessed
by the Company, by any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder 
  
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture. To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or 

  

 37 

 
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal on the Notes. Such lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default or an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) and 6.01(e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including
the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under U.S. Code, Title 11 or any other similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 
  
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but no limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
  
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws,
ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delays, restricts or prohibits the providing of services contemplated by this Indenture. 
  
 Section 7.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
  
 Section 7.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at
all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has, or whose parent banking company has, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, it shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7. 
  
 Section 7.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under
Section 7.11. 
  
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not 

  

 38 

 
have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction at the expense of the Trustee for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Notes. 
  
 (d) If at any time: 
  
 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08
after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
or by any such Holder, or 
  
 (iii) the Trustee
shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or 
  
 (iv) a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
  
 then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Company Order may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 6.13, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of the applicable series of Notes for at
least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall 

  

 39 

 
have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee 
  
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor
Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
  
 Section 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. 
  
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 7. 
  
 Section 7.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder; provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. 
  
 Section
7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the
collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

 Section 8.04. Reports

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF 2009 NOTE] 
  
 Cisco Systems, Inc. 
  
 Floating Rate Notes due 2009 
  
 Interest 
  
 The Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount of this Note at the rate per annum described below. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from February 22, 2006, to but excluding the next interest payment date, except that interest accrued and unpaid at Maturity will be paid to the person to
whom principal is payable at Maturity. The Company will pay interest quarterly in arrears on each interest payment date, commencing May 22, 2006, to the person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the Business Day
preceding the interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in an interest period and a 360-day year. 
  
 The Notes will bear interest for each interest period at a rate determined by the calculation agent. The calculation agent for this purpose is Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas until such time as the Company appoints a successor calculation agent. The interest rate on the Notes for a particular interest period will be a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined on the interest
determination date plus 0.08%. The interest determination date for an interest period will be the second London business day preceding such interest period. Promptly upon determination, the calculation agent will inform the Trustee and the Company
of the interest rate for the next interest period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the interest rate by the calculation agent shall be binding and conclusive on the Holders, the Trustee and the Company. 
  
 A London business day is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars
are transacted in the London interbank market. 
  
 On any interest
determination date, LIBOR will be equal to the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such rate appears on “Telerate Page 3750” at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on such interest determination date. If on an interest determination date, such rate does not appear on the “Telerate Page 3750” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, or if the “Telerate Page 3750” is not available on such
date, the calculation agent will obtain such rate from Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM.” 
  
 If no offered rate appears on “Telerate Page 3750” or Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM” on an interest determination date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the calculation agent (after
consultation with the Company) will select four major banks in the London interbank market and shall request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at which 

  

 A-4 

 
three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at
that time, that is representative of single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the calculation agent will select three major banks in New
York City and shall request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by them at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index
maturity of three months for the applicable interest period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations
provided. Otherwise, the rate of LIBOR for the next interest period will be set equal to the rate of LIBOR for the then current interest period. 
  
 Upon request from any Holder, the calculation agent will provide the interest rate in effect on the Notes for the current interest period and, if it has
been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next interest period. 
  
 Dollar amounts resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. 
  
 Interest on the Notes will accrue from February 22, 2006, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for;
provided that if an interest payment date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day would be in the
following month, in which case, the interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will be paid to but excluding the relevant interest payment date. 
  
 Paying Agent 
  
 Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the
“Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Company may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders. 
  
 Indenture; Defined Terms 
  
 This Note is one of the Floating Rate Notes due 2009 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 22, 2006, between the
Company and the Trustee (the “Indenture”). 
  
 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 of
1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Trust Indenture Act”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and thereafter as in effect on the date on
which the 

  

 A-5 

 
Indenture is 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. 
  
 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 
  
 The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. 
  
 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 all series of Outstanding Notes (including the Notes) under the Indenture that
are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, 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 TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note. 
  
 Defaults and Remedies 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with
respect to the Company) 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 Company to repay immediately the entire Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the entire Principal
Amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 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 in their interest. 
  

 A-6 

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

 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the 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.

 Redemption of Notes at the Option of the Company 
  
 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, at a

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF 2016 NOTE] 
  
 Cisco Systems, Inc. 
  
 5.50% Senior Notes due 2016 
  
 Interest 
  
 The Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from February 22, 2006, to but excluding the next interest payment date. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each interest payment
date, commencing August 22, 2006, to the person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

 
 If an interest payment for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. 
  
 Redemption of Notes at the Option of the Company 
  
 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the Principal Amount to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on such Notes discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points (the “Redemption Price”) upon delivery of the Notes to the Paying Agent by the Holder as
set forth in the Indenture. The Redemption Price will be paid in cash. 
  
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company 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 shall be selected pro rata or by lot or by any other method the
Trustee considers fair and appropriate. 
  

 C-4 

 Paying Agent 
  
 Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Company may
change any paying agent without notice to the Holders. 
  
 Indenture; Defined Terms 
  
 This Note is one of
the 5.50% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 22, 2006, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Indenture”). 
  
 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 of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Trust Indenture Act”), as in
effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is 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. 
  
 Denominations; Transfer;
Exchange 
  
 The Notes are in registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. 
  
 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 all series of Outstanding Notes (including
the Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, 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 TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
Holder of a Note. 
  
 Defaults and Remedies 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with
respect to the Company) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes 

  

 C-5 

 
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 Company to repay immediately the entire Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the
entire Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 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 in their interest. 
  
 Authentication 
  
 This Note shall not be valid
until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 
  
 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). 
  
 CUSIP Numbers 
  
 Pursuant
to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the 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. 
  
 Governing Law 
  
 The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Note.
